sAvANNAH's CLIMATE.

Statements and Comparisons Showing
Its Advantages Over Many Other
Sections.
There is no doubt about the fact that
Savannah and the surrounding section
have the advantage of the bleak north
west and western country, too, for that
matter, when it comes to climate, if in no
other respect.
The delegates from the northwest to
the farmers congress will shudder when
they read the official facts and figures
showing the average condition of the
weather in the southeast, as compared
with that in the northwest, and when
they contemplate that they have been en-
during many more degrees of cold in that
section than would have been their lot
had they been fortunate enough to locate
in Georgia, and better still, somewhere
near Savannah.
Observer Smyth, of the weather
bureau, has compiled q neat and Compre-
hfnsive table of statistics on Savanuah's
lther for the committee on statistics,
showing at a glance about what the
weather has been here Tor the past
twenty-five years. Savannah, indeed,
makes an admirable showing, and there
is little in the climate here, taken the
year round, that the most captious could
find to 90 ect TO. The figures are taken
from the United States weather bureau
re. orjs for the last twenty-five years and
are as follows:

Capt. Dillon advanced Overwhelmingly upon
Mr.. Guerard, when the latter turned and
made pass at him without effect. Capt.
Dillon then struck Mr.. Guerard, knock

that Mr.. Guerard was knocked down

Mr.. Guerard went up to his room, de-

Capt. Dillon announced his intention of
awaiting Mr.. Guerard's temperance,
but was compelled to leave the hotel by
his friends. Neither gentleman received
any severe injury in the encounter.
The difficulty created quite a,sensation,
and was the talk around the hotels and
at the clubs last night. 1t was predicted
that further steps would be taken by
both gentlemen before the difficulty ends.
Mr.. Guerard had announced his intention
of returning TO Atlanta last night to at

ing SO Long.
The Church-street Improvement Club
held special meeting yesterday afternoon
at Duveneck's Hall. corner Of Church and
Twenty-fourth streets, to take steps to
make tie Market-street Cable Company
build its Church-street line, for which the
company holds franchise.
Church-street residents and those In the
immediate vicinity OF that thOroughfare
charge lack of faith on the part OF the Mar
ket-street Gable Company.
For many years the pr0perty-owners
along the line of the street have endeavored
TO secure a street railway, and repeated
visits were made 10 Il Q street railway COM
panes for the desired object.
The Market-street Railway Company In
variably refused to listen TO the entTeaties
of the Church-street taxpayers and finally
the Omnibus Cable Company was visited,
with better results.
The Omnibus Company in May, 1892 ap-
piled to the Supervisors for a franchise on
Church and other streets TO connect with its
extensive system, aud were favored by the
entire district through which the line would
be constructed.
In the application to the Supervisors the
promise was given and Inserted in the terms
Of the franchise that. the road would be
built Immediately and would be in opera
ton within year.
The omnibus Railway was backed In its
application by 1900 property-owners, and
petition 10 feet long, containing the names
OF these owners, was presented to the
Supervisors. The latter were also visited
and asked to grant the franchise to that
company.
The Market-street Cable Railway few
days after also applied for the same priy-
ilege, and, despite the fact that its applisa-
ton was opposed by the entire territory
along the line OF Church street, secured the
franchise from the Supervisors. Numer-
Gus protests were made against this uuvar
ranted action, without effect, however. and
the Market-street Company now owns the
franchise. They were allowed two wears

operation.
This was on June 3. 1892, and the resi-
dents and others on Church street are COM

which is declared to have been put In only
to hold the franchise.
Had the Omnibus Cable COMPANY been
given the franchise the property-owners
are positive that the promises made by
Sutro would have been kept. and the cable
cars would now be seen On Church street.

The Naval Battalion at

Unsuccessful Search for the
Ship King James.

The Naval Battalion believes In the
maxim that Practice makes perfect" The
boys are drilling for all they ere worth, and
but for the absence of weather beaten
countenauces" the battalion members could
not be told from man-o'-wars' men.
Another section OF the organization, sew
enteen men in all, rowed to Angel Island
yesterday and drilled in the handling of a
cutter.
Next Sundry part OF the battalion will
have days practice at "shore duty" and
taTget-shooting
The row to the island was made yester-
day in less than an hour. The men have
the short, quick stroke of the navy down TO
a fine point. and could board" an enemy in
short order.
Members are looking anxiously forward
to the time When they shall be allowed the
privilege of using vessels stationed at Mare
Island for drill purposes.
A naval officer who was watching the
volunteers embark yesterday remarked
that the value of such an auxiliary force
as the naval reserve during time of war
could not be oyerestimated.
The mechanism of modern guns is such
that they cannot be handled by green
hands. As all old-style guns. even of the
old vessels of the navy, are being rapidly

lutely necessary that au ample reserve force

becoming involved in war with any of the
European powers.

large crowd OF people Yesterday who were

The tug Monarch Of the red-stack line
got back yesterday from her unsuccessful
trip south in search of the King James. The
tugboat men are of the impression that the
unfortunate ship has sunk, as all her deck

heavy weather down the coast She was I'M
