c. A. Kennedy y complained not long ago to
the District Commissioners tina tthe embank-
ment on the north side of California street

walk, and he asked that the law be applied
to abate the nuisance. He was Informed,
however, that the regulations requiring the
sidewalks to be kept clear of such debris
do not apply beyond the city limits.

ceased fireman, recently renewed a request,
previously denied by the Commissioners, for

She was on yesterday furnished with a
COPY of a report made by Chief Paris.

not allowed as much as Mrs Mulhall, but
it was pointed out by Chief Paris that the
latter has five children to provide for while
Mrs. Martin has but two.
The Butler Zouaves, local military or.
ganization, made application several days

SEA COAST DEFENSE DRILL
Gen. Ruger Wants Militia Artillery
men Trained.
Gratified With Results So Far and
Thinks the scheme Is
Good One.

The annual reports of the commanding
officer of the several military depart
ments of the Army were made public
yesterday.
Gen. Thomas H. Ruger, commanding the
Department of the East, states that the
association of the troops with State forces
for purposes Of instruction has been pro-
ductiye of good results.
He deems 1t especially desirable that
State artillery organizations should be
drilled for sea coast defensive purposes
But few Of the States, for evident re easoil,
have organizations of heavy artillery. 1t
would be well, he says, that action be
had to induce In each State in which there
are sea coast defensive works the designa-
ton OF regiment, or Of certain companies
of the State troops as heavy artillery
without abandonment necessarily of their
instructions in general as infantry Gen
Ruger adds:
Practice has been had by some and is
In progress by other OF the garrisons OF
heavy artillery, with the new high-powe
guns and Inortars ut the stations where
they are in position. Such practice has
been generally satisfactory in result II
has demonstrated that facility in operating
the appliances for use of such guns is
readily acquired by the men of the batteries
when intelligently directed.
1T seems almost superfluous to alludt
in this report to the necessity for an in
crease OF the artillery force, SO fully has
the case been presented in reports hereto
fore submitted by the War Department
The present force is inadequate as a re.
liable basis for the event of war with a
maritime power The most pressing neet
| in respect to the personnel of the Army
is an increase of the artillery force
He adds, however, that the present state
is in gratifying contrast to that of few
| years past.

WHALE FISHING OFF TYBEE.
Capt. Haines of the Tug Forest city
Has a Novel Experience.

Capt. Haines of the Tug Forest City
Has a Novel Experience.
There she blows is a song of the sail
or seldom. heard in the waters of the
South Atlantic. 1t is confined principally
to the Arctic regions and ON board of
whaling vessels. Whale fishing off Tybee
is a neglected industry, otherwise the city
would to-day be supplied with blubber
enough to oil all the bicycles that so out
Bull street, for years to come, and enough
whalebone TO furnish several corset fac
tories.
Two monster whales were sighted yes
terday, at o'clock, 10y Capt Haines of
the tug Forest City, about five miles off
Iyhee sea buoy, bearing west northwest.
The whales appeared to be 100 to 100 feet
in length, and at first sight closely re-
sembled the hulls Of derelict vessels, bot
tom up. Capt Haines steered for them
and when within 100 yards he discovered
that they were veritable whales.
1t was dun day at sea for the Propeller
TOwboat Company; not vessel coming in
sight and being disappointed at not even
being able TO report having sighted a dere-
lict, Capt Haines concluded that he would
secure whale or two and tow them to
the city. But he didn't do it. He and his
crew had an exciting time, however, try
ing it, and If Fhey We're not successful
The Forest City is not equipped for
whale fishing and Capt. Haines is a novice
at the business. He did not have the Gus
nOsed boats, with a crew of twenty-five
experienced men. He did not have the
long rope, which is usually arranged in a
convenient manner with a harpoon at
tached to one end. These essentials and
the lances, the bOom-gun and the harpoon
gun We're not at hand.
Capt Haines had to decide quickly what
to do. He concluded to use the stem of the
tug for a harpOOn, and take chances on
getting in a heavy blow on the broadsides
of one of the whales. He signaled Engi-
neer Purdy to hook her up" When the
engineer saw the direction that the tug
was going, he thought that within a few
minutes they would strike a dangerous
wreck. He did not know the object ahead
was a live whale. The crew. also became
alarmed and held on for dear life to the
railing of the tug. Capt. Haines steered
directly for his whaleshiDs. When within
fifty yards of the whales, they spouted
sending the water about fifty feet in the
air.
In another minute the tugs bow rose
over a whales back, and gently passed
over his body. The whale was generous
enough TO give way a little and allow the
tug TO go over without damage. As it was
passing over his body, his tail came over
the port rail and dashed spray i'm fhe
Salley door, and all over the frightened
cook.
The whales did not tarry long in that
vicinity after such treatment one of
them disappeared altogether but one
came frequently to the surface as he
swan away. Capt. Haines thinks that
the tugs bow injured the whale, and il
was probably the one that afterward rose
to the surface.

BEN FRANKLIN's KITE.
with Which the Philosopher First
Drew lightning From the Clouds.

From Casters Magazine.
1t was a square kite, not the coffin
shaped affair shown in story-book pic
lures. To the upright stick of the cross
Franklin attached his pointed rod-a sharp
wire about foot long-and provided hin1-
self with silk ribbon and a key; the rib
bon, to fasten to the string after he had
raised the kite, as some possible protection
--hoW much he did not knOw-against the
lightning entering his body; and the kew
TO be secured to the junction of the rib
bon ana string TO serve as a conductor
from which he might draw the sparks
of celestial fire-if it came
When the thunder storm broke ne went
out on the open common near Philadelphia
and faced death-faced the tremendous
power OF the lightning stroke, before
Whlch all people of all ages had quailed
in terror faced what most of the world
then believed to be the avenging blow of
an angered God. True, he believed that
electricity and lightning were the same
thlng, and therefore had no different prop
critics or effects; butihe did not know it,
The best existing theory which accounted
Tor electrical phenomena at that time was
ms own. The laws of electrical cOnduc-
ton or resistance, now so familiar, were
not even suspected. Who could predict
that the lightning would obey any law?
BESIDES, he had produced tremendous
shocks with his Leyden jars in series, and
had killed birds with them. More than
that, he had been terribly shocked him
sensibility and nearly killed. He had said
again and again, that an electric shock, il
strong enough, would blot out life, though
without pang If his idea was correct,
If his conviction was true, he was now
about to face an electric discharge beside
which that of the most powerful of man
made batteries would seem weak and in
significant.
All the world knows what happened. The
kite scared up into the black cloud. while
, the philosopher stood calmly in the
drenching rain watching his string lntif
finally he saw the little fibers of the hemp
raise themselves. Then without a trenor
he touched his knuckle to the key-anI
lived. For the spark cracked and leaned
to his finger as harmlessly as did that
from his old familiar electrical machine
and allowed him to charge his Jars with
it with the same impunity. He sent the
story of what he had done abroad with
out particle of trumpeting. He was NOT
dlScoVerer for revenue. No stock mar
ket awaited the announcement of his
claims; no newspaper stood ready to blaze
forth his achievement in the interest of
the money jugglers. His own narrative
barely fills one of the little columns of
the Gentleman's Magazine for Oct 49, 1872
and it has at its end only the initials b. n

RAIL AND CROsSTIE.

The recent discharges of brotherhood
engineers from the Plant system, includ-
ing the most of the committee which fig
ured in the recent effort to secure a
renewal of the engineers contract with
Superintendent Durham, has caused a
good deal of uneasiness among nearly all
of the employees of the operating depart
ment of the system.
Superintendent Durham has not been in
the city for several days, and no infor-
nation can be had in regard to the dis
charges. Superintendent of Motive Power
Rutherford, who has been absent, returned
yesterday, but would say nothing. Su-
perntendent Durham, however, is ex-
pected in Savannah in a short time.
