TEST OF THE REGIS.
The Boat Made Good Showing as
Fire Tug.

The tugboat Regis of the Savannah
Lighterage and Transfer Company, was
put through very satisfactory test yes
terday afternoon by the fire department
for the purpose OF ascertaining her suita-
bility for fire service on the river front.
The Forest City was tested Saturday
afternoon in the same manner. With the
exception of throwing four streams of wa
ter at one time, which seemed to be be-
yond her capacity, the general verdict was
that the Regis easily excelled the Forest
City on all other tests. With two streams
the Regis did some fine work. throwing
water from the wharf to the city eX-
change. With the Siamese coupling and a
lbs inch nozzle, water was thrown to the
roof of the Kelly building a hight of
about 80 feet. With the same coupling
and a 1ja-inch nozzle water was easily
thrown over the top of the Kelly build
ing, going probably ten feet above the
roof, if not higher
The Regis made the trip frdom the Sa-
vannah, Florida and Western WharVes in
ten minutes. She left there at 5:401a and
had four streams of water on the wharf at
5:50l4 arrived al the wharf at 5:50l5 and
tied up at 5:51. This was considered good
time. Chairman Grayson of the fire COM
mission, Fire Chief Mcguire, Aldermen
Bacon and Watson and other city officials
were aboard. With the exception of the
work with four streams, all the work done
by the tug was regarded as excellent, and
Chairman Grayson and Chief Mcguire so
expressed themselves. All the tests gone
through with by the Forest City, Satur-
day, were made by the Regis and meas
urements taken of the distance the water
was thrown under each test. The figures
were not given out They will be incud-
ed in Chief Maguire's report to the COM
mission this afternoon.
The test took place at the wharf of the
Gov. Stafford by courtesy of Capt. George
L. Beach.

THEY MAKE MONEY our OF IT.
Property Owners who Charge Fees
to Sign Bonds.


There are several property owners in
Savannah who act as professional bonds
men. Though necessarily engaged in 9th
er lines of business. this forms an i'm
portant part Of their livelihood, and. 1t is
said, some of them make quite
bit of money from it. A
bond was rendered to Sheriff
Sheftall in criminal case yesterday with
two signatures, and while one of the sure
ties was readily acceptable, the other was
not.
But he's got plenty of property" said
the attorney who presented the bond.
Yes, but he's on 5000 or $lO,O 900 of bonds
now" was the reply, land that's about
his limit"
There was nothing for the attorney to do
but look around for another bondsman. If
seems the man, who is colored. is worth
some $500 or $4,000 in property. and makes
a regular business of standing criminal
bonds. He is not the only professional
bondsman in Savannah, however. They
can be found without much trouble If the
defendant is all right, and haDDens 70 no
a party who is not likely to run away
The charges vary all the way from 81 10
S25 for standing bonds, and some of the
professionals do a good business A story
is told Of one of them, negro named De
lancey jerks, who used to own a little
property here, and stood bonds al so lnuch
per 500. He kept this up for quite a while
and made a pretty good thing OUT Of if
but finally he was caught. and pretty near
all Of his property was used up in paving
the bond of a party who did not show
up Delaney then took the next steamer
for Liberia, and no doubt invested there
what little he had left from the wreck of
his property after he had made the bond

LETTERS FROM LAMONT.
The Secretary's Announcement Con-
corning the HarbOr Work.


A letter was received yesterday at the
city exchange from the Secretary Of
War, addressed to Mayor Myers. In the
absence of the mayor, the letter was open
ed by Acting Mayor screven. 1t reads as
follows:
War Department, Washington, d. c.,
Aug. 6, 1S96.--Sir: Acknowledging the re-
ceipt Of your telegram of oath ultimo,
urging that the improvements to savan-
nah harbor, provided for in the river and
harbor act Of June 3, 1896. be favorably
considered by this department, / beg to
inform you that l have this day approved
the recommendations of the acting chief
Of engineers for carrying on the work in
Savannah harbor, contemplated in the
act referred to. Very respectfully,
Daniel 5. Lamont,
Secretary of War
Hon. Herman Myers, Mayor, Savannah
This is only partial evidence of the work
done by Mayor Myers in behalf of the riy-
er and harhor work When ne found that
for some reason or other the appropria-
ton for the work here had been held up
he at once began to bring pressure to bear
on the war department In behalf of Savan-
nah. He not only telegraphed the Secre-
tary OF War himself. but also impressed
upon the presidents of the cotton exchange
and board of trade the necessity Of doing
likewise, He further telegraphed Sena-
tor Gordon after having found that he was
in New York city, requesting him to per-
sonally urge the matter upon the Secre-
tary Of War, and secured from Senator
Gordon his promise that he would do as
requested. Others were also actively at
work at the same time and 1t is undoubt-
edly due to the influence that has been
brought to bear that the favorable result
previously announced in the Morning
News was secured.
Congressman Lester also received let
ter yesterday from Secretary Lamont adj
vising him Of the action of the war de-
partmept in approving the chief of engi-
harbor work. Col Lester was largely in
strumental in urging upon Secretary La
mont the importance of an early resump-
ton Of the work

GALLAGHER AND THE TURKEY.
Denny to Tackle Billy whistler ut
the Pastime Club.


Denny Gallagher and Billy Whistler will
meet in a twenty-round go before the Pas
time Athletic Club tonight. There is more
interest taken in this fight than in any
other Of the recent bouts before the club,
and if it does not pan out a red-hot exhi-
bltlon 1t will be a disappointment to the
sports.
Both men are in pink of condition and
each has been telling his friends how he
is going to do the other fellow. Gallagher
is probably five pounds heavier than the
Turkey but Whistler says that will not
bother him. He says he will simply make
a monkey of Denny, but Denny and his
friends say it will be a big surprise party
for Whistler.

step up and show the color of their money

greatly reduced and tickets are being

Asheville has been selected as the prin-

nah's old iron lamp posts. Clerk Nanucy
received a letter yesterday from Mayor
Lindsay Baker of Sparta, inquiring if The
city still owned the old iron lamp POSTS
that were formerly used before the cleo
trio lights were put in.
If the posts can be used for kerosene
lamps, and if the price is satisfactorv
the city government of Sparta would IKE
to purchase about fifty.
The letter will be referred to council
There are sull a number Of the old lamn
posts standing, but il has been undor-
stood that they would be used for the
new street signs, which will probably
be put in this fan, and it is very likely
that this is what will be done with them.
