TWO 100 DEGREE DAYS TOGETHER.
Rain, Hail and Wind Made the Sec
Ond Days Heat Less Felt.

Mercury went to 100 degrees again yes
terday. the second time in two days. and
the third time in twenty-seven years in
June
The heat was felt less severely, how
ever, than IL was the day before. owing
to the heavy thunderstorm which passed
over the city in the afternoon and reduc-
ed the temperature several degrees.
The day started in hot. The maximum
was reached little before o'clock, when
the thermometer at the weather bureau
reached the century mark. The thunder
storm came up soon after, and the tenn
perature fell rapidly. At o'clock it was
Y degrees.
The heat between IL and / o'clock was
intense. Work in the sun was difficult,
and very little was done. On the wharves
and along the river front what work was
done at all was done slowly. No prostra-
tons from the heat were reported, how
ever though men and animals who were
compelled to work suffered severely.
The thunderstorm which swept over the
city between and o'clock was the Sc
verest that Savannah has experienced in
long time. The rainfall was something
over ~ inches. The rain was accompanied
by a high wind which blew in gusts and
SQUALLS anu ulu CDtlSlubldDlb AdIldBt. i he
streets we're washed In many places. SThe
street railway tracks were overlooked and
in many streets the sewers were unable
to carry off the flood
With the rain came a heavy hail storm.
Hailstones as large as walnuts fell with
such force as to break windows. num-
Der of Conservatives were damaged by it
and vegetation was injured where the hail
fell in sufficient quantities. Fortunately
the area of the hail storm was small, and
the damage is not believed to have been
over very large territory.
The blow along the river front created
considerable anxiety for awhile among
the shipping. The wind blew fercely,
while gusts seemed TO come from every
point of the compass. Fortunately all
of the vessels were strongly moored to
the wharves and there was no serious
damage A terrific bolt of lightning
about o'clock struck a large cypress
tree on Hutchinson's Island, just back
OF the Smith & Kelly wharf, demolishing
II entirely. The shock was felt by a
number of people on the Savannah side
of the river, while the few occupants of
the island ran from their houses in alarm.
The Waterman at Smith & Kelly's wharf
was in the stable and was slightly stun
ned. He came across the river soon after,
not believing in the theory that lightning
never strikes twice in the same place.
He said he felt the effects of the shock
for two hours afterwards.
During the hight Of the storm, the
sailors from several of the schooners
along the wharf left their vessels, as
they were afraid that the lightning would
strike the masts, and took refuge under
the bluff.
The indications sent out from the
Weather Bureau at midnight showed a
possible break in the hot spell. Occasion
al thundershowers during the day are pre-
dicted.

Welded IN MID JUNE.
Miss Georgia Howard Becomes Mrs.
Herbert U. Dove

/ In spite of the early hour a large num-
I Der Of Interested relatives and friends as
( sembled at the First Baptist church yes
terday morning at o'clock. to witness the
marriage of Mr.. Herbert u. Dove of Bal
| timore, Nd. and Miss Georgia Howard of
this city.
On account of the mourning in the fam
lily of the bride the occasioH was a quiet
one, but the ceremony was impressive in
its simplicity. Rev. John d. Jordan, pas
tor of the church, conducted the service,
while the benediction was pronounced by
Rev. Or. James Y. Fair OF the Independ-
ent Presbyterian church.
As the strains of the Lohengrin wedding
march filed the church, the bridal party
entered. Leading the way were the four
ushers, Mr.. Fulton Saussy, Mr.. Shelly
Baggett, Mi. H. d. Osborne and Mr.. Ed
ward Lowell.
They we're followed by the maid of
honor, little Miss Fannie Howard, who
was the brides only attendant.
The bride, who entered with the groom,
was lovely in a gown of French organdie
over silk, dainuly trimmed with insertions
of lace and broad white taffeta ribbons.
She wore a picturesque hat of white chif-
fon, and carried large bouquet of Ne
photos roses and white heliotrope, tied with
white ribbons.
The pretty little maid of honor was
dressed in white organdie and lace, with
white shoes and stockings, and held the
brides bouquet during peTt Of the cere-
mony.
A great amount of interest centered in
this wedding, and it was with mingled
feelings of good will and regret that the
friends of the bride witnessed the cere-
mony Few young women are more be-
loved and admired than the bride, and her
host of friends here will miss
her sadly. Added to the gift
of one Of the sweetest of voices, Miss
Howard combined a lovely nature and
many attractions so that she held a warm
place in the hearts of her friends.
After the church ceremony the bridal
couple received the congratulations of
their friends at the home of the bride on
Waldburg street There num-
bers of beautiful presents had
been sent and from large
circle of friends in Savannah, Baltimore
and elsewhere. one of the most appreciat-
ed gifts was from the Independent Pres
byterian church, in which Miss Howard
sang.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dove left on the
o'clock train for their future home in
Baltimore. They will spend their honey
moon at Atlantic City. Mr.. Dove is a well
known and popular young business man
of Baltimore, where he is engaged in the
fire insurance business.

A clipping from the Utica IN. " Morn
ing Herald of Saturday, May %, reads as
follows:
''The common council refuses the appli-
cation of the Utica Telephone Company
for franchise to install a new telephone
service in Utica. The refusal almost has
the emphasis OF unanimity, and In our
judgment, in very large degree accords
with the opinion of the great majority OF
citizens as to the wise thing to do.
Utica has a very excellent telephone
service. 1t is well managed, trustworthy
prompt and courteous. Its cost TO sub
scribers. as any one can ascertain for
himself by inquiry. is below that of IKE
service in other cities. The installation
of competing lines and maintenance Of
service on a paying basis would mean
increase Of expense to all business pat
rons, as every business man would feel
compelled TO have two telephones. Cheap-
er service to these would come only from
cutting of rates, which must end ulti-
mately in the killing or absorption Of one
or the other competitor, TO be followed nv
a making up Of losses by an advance of
rates. Such is the lesson taught BY the
history OF competition of this nature"
-ad.

MATTERS BEFORE COUNCIL.
New City Physician to Be Elected
This Afternoon.

This Afternoon.
There will be several interesting matters
before the city council at its meeting this
afternoon. The election of a new colored
city physician is one of them. There are
two applicants for the position, DIR. J. H.
Bugg and DR.. ]. C. Atkinson. Each has
his supporters and they have been makine
a warm fight for some time. The friends
of each claim the election of their candi-
dates.
Alderman Krouskoff's ordinance to re
lleve the health officer from the duty of
attending sick policemen and firemen and
placing this duty upon the city physicians
in whose district the sick firemen and po-
licemen may happen to reside, will come
up on its second reading. Alderman
Krouskoff will be absent from the city
on business, but he has written an earnest
appeal to council to adopt the ordinance,
setting forth the Importance of giving the
health officer his entire time for other
duties.
A communication will be read from the
park and tree commission in answer to an
inquiry made by resolution of the last
meeting of council as to whether the COM
mission intended to abandon its work for
lack of funds The commission in it's COM
muntcation states very definitely that 1t
does not abandon its work. This leaves
council without the power to take up the
work and carry it on. What arrangements
If any have been made by the park and
tree commission to carry on the work are
not known.
Mayor Meldrim's veto of the ordinance
adopted at the last meeting providing for
a public food inspector at a salary of $500
per year will come up. 1t is doubtful if the
council will undertake to pass the ord-
nance over the veto. Mayor Meldrim is
not expected to be present at the meeting,
having been absent for the last week at
tending the commencement exercises at
Athens.
A petition will be received from Mrs.
Ida L. Harrell, widow of Fireman w.
e. Harrell, who died recently from the eff
fects Of a fall from the top of the hose
tower at No. station, asking the city to
make some provision for the support of
herself and family.
