big BANK CLEARINGs.
savannah's Increase over Last Year
over liz Per Cent.

Savannah made a splendid showing in
bank clearances last month and. in fact,
/ it has done so for the last six months.
| The clearances for the six months end
ing June 30 We're s4s.5is.H against Sii.-
ss7.s0i for the first six months OF 1894. an
increase Of over H1z per cent
IN Bradstreet's report Of ciearances Of
eighty-twO cities for the first six months
Of the last four years Savannah has in
creased from SIS. 5ss.s07 in 1892 10 sis.51s.l l6
in 1886.
The Savannah clearances last month
were S6,9ii,s7. In June. 1884,. they were
$, i6o,Szl and June, 1893. S5,O94.6s2.
The ciearances at Savannah show the
largest Increase Of any ia the South At
lantic states. The increase Of Atlanta's
clearances for the first six months Of
the year is per cent. over last year. Nor
folk shows a decrease OF per cent.
The increase in Savannah in the face
Of the naturally smaller cicarings all over
the country than in May, Is marked. Com
menung on the June clearings Brad
streets says:
The June returns. and those for the first
half Of, the present year, in fact, form per-
haps the best possible index of the greatly
improved business conditions, which are
now seen to have extended to all parts Of
the United States. The total bank clearings
at 81 cities for the month Of June aggregate
a,3Sl, 7S5. 0S1, a decrease from May this year
of "a per cent, but an increase over Dune
one year ago OF pa per cent. The gain in
May, II will be remembered, over the total
a year ago was more than % per cent, but
when the fact that there was one less
business day in June is recalled. the rela-
lively smaller increase Is explained. The
increase for June, while smaller than that
for May, Is very much larger than that
shown in any previous month this year,
and, with the exception noted, Is. in fact,
the largest increase reported for several
years past. In May a year ago the clearings
showed a decrease from May, 1898 of more
than % per cent, and they, in turn. fell
of from 1892 to the extent Of more than
per cent.

THE FIRE ON THE IDA OUT.

The Vessel Dischnrging Its Coal to
Get Mt the Water.
The firemen succeeded in extinguishing
the fire aboard the Spanish steamship Ida
yesterday about noon.
The Ida put into this port for assist
ance Saturday. The fire in her hold had
been burning seven days before it was
extinguished. The firemen who had been
at work since Saturday morning did not
succeed in locating the fire until yester-
day morning. 1t was found to be in one
corner of the main coal bunker at a point
which was difficult to reach
One hundred and sixteen bales of cotton
were removed before the firemen could
get to the neighborhood of the fire. A
couple of good streams soon did the work
however, after the fire had been To-
Gated.
After the fire had been extinguished a
gang of workmen was set to work dis
charging the coal from the bunker by
order of the marine insurance under
writers. The cotton which has been dam
aged by fire and water will also be re-
moved. The board of survey will then
make another survey and decide on what
further steps are necessary to secure the
safety of the ship. The damaged cotton
will probably be left here to be sold for
what it win bring. The damage is chief
ly by water, only a few bales having been
slightly burned

COLUMBIANs ARE KICKING,
The r. c. and p. withdraws It's sun
day Excursion Tickets.

uNE EACuFs1On I1ckefs.
Columbians are not at all pleased with
the shutting down on Sunday excursions to
Savannahs seaside resorts. The State of
yesterday says:
THE authorities Of the Florida Central
and Peninsular system Saturday after
noon notified the union ticket agent here
that they had decided TO withdraw imme-
diately the special round trip tickets they
have been Offering to Savannah and Tybee
Island. In consequence of this a great
many who had expected to spend Sunday
on Tybee beach were greatly disappointed.
The special Sunday excursion trains on
this system were taken off last Sunday.
This is done in consequence of the an
nouncement of the attorney general that
the running Of special Sunday excursion
trains was in violation of the state law,
and his intention to take legal steps in the
matter.
at is generally thought that there is
no way to prevent cheap tickets being
sold on Sunday by the railroads, good on
their regular mail trains, and It is not
thought that the state can stop that.
80 far, the South Carolina and Georgia
railroad has given no notice that it will
not continue the sale of cheap tickets to
Sullivan's Island, and it is not thought
that this line will give any such notice.
The fact that the Tybee rate has been
annulled is. matter of general regret,
for scores of Columbians have been
counting on taking advantage of 1t during
the heated term. If this road continues
the rate good on its vestibule trains, the
difficulty will be eliminated, for it would
then be giving Sunday to Monday rate,
as the train returning does not leave Sa-
vannah till midnight on Sunday night
This train is more convenient anyway
for those who wish to spend day at Ty-
bee Island "

THE CITY IN A BLOW.
wind and Rain Make Things Lively
for Awhile.

for Awhile.
There was a difference of 20 degrees be-
tween the highest and lowest tempera-
lures in Savannah yesterday. The maxi
mum was 81 degrees. The forenoon and
the afternoon up to 8 o'clock were hot.
The storm that came up then from the
west and swept over the city in a gale
caused sudden drop in the temperature.
For half an hour the wind blew gale
and the rain fell in sheets, driving into
open doors and windows and wherever
there was a crack for it to get in. The
blow came up suddenly and was violent
while It lasted.
During the half hour from to $50
O'Clock one half of an inch of rain fell.
The lightning was severe. The street car
lines shut off the current from their wires
and the electric light works shut down
while the storm was at its hight. So far
as known no serious damage was done.
The rain extended some distance around
the city. 1t dampened the cavalrynen' s
tents at Meldrim, and drove the excursion
lists at Tybee and other resorts under
shelter.
Last night was cool and delightful. The
indications for to-day are showers, with
thunderstorms, followed by fair weather
tonight, with slight changes in temper
atCre.

LIKES ELECTRICITY.
A German Challenges Any One to
XIII Him with a Current of 1900
Volts.
From the Philadelphia Press.


From the Philadelphia Press.
New York.-Guide Egling challenges any
man to kill him with electricity. He is a
native of Erfurt. Germany. and has been
in this country six weeks. He says he
has discovered a liquid compound by
means Of which the body is made a conduc-
tor of electricity.
Egling says he had current of 200 volts
passed through his body without appre-
clable erect. He rubs the liquid into the
skin over his heart and on the top of his
head. Then he mixes the liquid with an
other ingredient and takes it internally.
In six minutes he becomes drowsy and is
ready for the current. All animation is
suspended, but he says he can hear. He
has to take something afterward to coun-
teract the effect of the compound.
Egling thinks Buchanan was killed by
the doctors. He is living at 400 East Sew
enty-second street. He says he is willing
at any time to take 200 volts of electricity
