The price of fuel gas in Philadelphia
bids fair to be driven down by com.
petition. A company has just asked
for franchise to furnish 1t at 70 cents;
but the director of the city plant op.
poses the granting of the franchise on
the ground that the plant can at a
small expense, be so improved as to
furnish good gas at less than 70 cents
and still make a profit.

I wonder if the rest of the Vanderbflts

time he should look about him for wife 1?
He was at Newport the other day for
the first time in his life. and this is taken
as an excellent sign. 1t is looked upon
with favor by all the mammas with eligi-
bic daughters, and where is the mamma
who has not at least one eligible daugh-
ter? George is more of a recluse than
John Jacob Aston ever was. He is a.
harder student than Jack and until re-
Gently was more pushing and enterpris-
ing. Both seemed TO have walked up this
season. Georges fondness for music has
been a god-send to many a young artist,
in whose. purse 1t put money. His most
remarkable freak was the building of G.
castle In North Carolina. He calls II
Biltmore, and 1t IS place of many and
broad acres. IL is out Of the world, and
George Will live there about one month in
twelve. Why did he not build nearer home

SanEuiIIy and Gomez Saved from
Death by the Atlanta.

Key West. Fla, July 27.-Passengers by
the steamship Mascotte tonight state that
the arrival of the United States cruiser
Atlanta in Havana last Wednesday gave
the volunteers a terrible setback. They
were to be reviewed during the afternoon

demand the heads of Sanguilly and Go

of the United States. Shortly after the ar
rival of the Atlanta she was visited by
Consul Williams. After he left, the cap
tain and one officer visited the palace
What took place during the visit is not
known, but no demand was made for the
prisoners.
The next morning Consul Williams was
summoned to the palace and asked why an
American war vessel came into Havana
at such an unusual time of the year. The
consul replied that he had no authority to
question the captain of any ship and that
the Atlanta came there under sealed ord
ers.
1t is openly asserted in Havana that the
arrival of the Atlanta alone saved San

NEW ORLEANS LINE TO COLON

THE STEAMERS.

-. Merchants of the City Vote 70
Give IL a Liberal share of Their
p,,ronnge-The New Line the Re-
.,It of an Experiment With "A Char
,ered ship Made by the Merchants
Of the City When the Railroad
Rates Were Considered Too High.
~aw Orleans, July 27.-An important
,,sering was held to-day at the board of
de 10 consider certain propositions that
-.,resentative of the Panama Railroad
-,nnsny was understood TO have SUBMIT
= boxing toward the establishment Of
ocular line of steamers from Colon TO
,5is port. The meeting was held in the
si-a,tors' parlor, and was numerously at
tended.
The public are familiar with an effort
made some months ago by the merchants
of New Orleans to open up and develop
line Of steamers TO Colon. The Joseph
O-eri was chartered and went down to
q, Colon light" so far as cargo was con-
eerned. She brought back a good-sized
consignment of wine and other merchan-
disc and so far as the effort was con-
osrned the scheme ended there. The cause
of the collapse of the undertaking was
natent 10 all. As soon as the Southern Pa
cihc found that the merchants were in
earnest they cut rates to point that no
ordinary enterprise, such as the one in
question. could begin to compete with.
The railroad company and the shippers
rot together and an agreement was ar
rived at. The Southern Pacific promised to
maintain the 5O-cent rate and agreed to
give fifty days notice of any change. The
oteri was, therefore. laid off and ship
ments from San Francisco via the rail-
road have been resumed.
The Panama railroad watched these
movements with much interest and it
became known that should the local prof.
oct fail they might step in and establish
line themselves If assured Of business
support from New Orleans.
The company would not ask financial
support for they possess the necessary
equipment to carry out their plans, but
they very naturally wish to know Just
how far they can rely on the patronage
Of the merchants of the Crescent City.
To that end the Panama company ad-
dressed a communication to ]. B. Camors
& Co., intimating that if they could be
assured of even a portion of the support
Of the merchants they would be willing
10 also put their steamers in commission
running between this place and Colon
and maintain a monthly line of service.
The meeting this morning had the docu-
ments read before them and after con-
sideration resolved ito heartily indorse
the Inauguration Of the new enterprise
and recommended that the Pan
ANA company be given a lib
eral part of their patronage. The Pana-
ma company guarantee to place New Or
leans on a parity with New York in mat
tiers of rates and to in every manner pos
sible push the enterprise to all legiti-
mate lengths.

ONE sMOKEsTACK NOT ENOUGH.
Russian Hebrews Who Refuse to
Travel ON "A Ship Thus Equipped.

IrnNel ON a snip IhuS Equipped.
From the New York Tribune
A steamship ticket agent on the East
Side, whose business is chiefly with Pol
ish and Russian Hebrews who are about
to return to their homes tells of a peculi-
arity of his customers. No one of them
wants to travel on a vessel having only
one smokestack. Somehow these people
have an idea that a ship is not safe, hand
some, comfortable and speedy unless she
has two or three smokestacks. There pas
sage cost them only $50, and they are not
solicitous about baths or the decorations
of their quarters, but on the point OF a
single funnel they are as firm as a rock.
great many passenger steamships have
only one stack. Some new ones, in which
the steerage Accommodations are especially
and well-ventilated have no more, and the
returning Poles insist they will not travel
on them. The ticket agents feel no COM
junction about assuring their customers
that the ship on which they are going to
sail has three 'rochers" (smokers), as the
Hebrew calls them, and even point to q
big picture of her on the wall which
serves as a likeness of any vessel which
may be talked of.
When the man and his family arrive at
the pier on the day of sailing there is
likely to be trouble when he discovers that
his ship has only one miserable smokes
stack. Sometimes the people refuse point
blank to go on board, and say they will
wait for steamer with three Smokers"
An effective subterfuge has been invented
for such cases. Solemn assurance is given
that the ship has three or even four
smokestacks, but that all but one short
one were taken down so that they could
pass under the Brooklyn Bridge As soon.
as she got out to sea the additional stacks
would be put in place, and she would speed
proudly on her way. The ignorant East
slider doesn't know that vessels passing to
sea from the Hudson river never get within
two miles of the bridge, and takes his
family on board. What he says and does
when he learns he has been deceived does
not bother the ships officers particularly.
