mashed rotten apple and his breath

were two very peculiar formations of
chickens. Each shell contained a

The monstrosity in the two shells were
exactly alike. In each shell were two
chickens joined together by their backs

Educational Possibilities.

The educational possibilities of the
brute creation have probably been reach
ed by Prof Gentry, who is known all
over the land as wonderful trainer of
dogs and ponies. His company this year
consists of over one hundred of the hand
soonest specimens Of their kind obtaina-
BILE, all of whom have been educated to a
wonderful degree of intelligence. The en-
tire company will display their talents in
this city under a tent at corner of Bolton
and Price streets, three nights, beginning
Thursday, March 4. Natinees Friday and
Saturday. p. m.
1t is said by persons who are authority
on such subjects that Prof Gentry has
reached the final limit of what dogs and
ponies may be educated to do, and It is
also said that nothing further can be ac-
complished in that line. If this be true,
Prof Gentry certainly deserves the phe-
nomenal success that continually greets
his exhibitions. The prices are decidedly
reasonable. and any one can afford to at
tend; children l0c, and adults 2Oc.-ad.

The beauty about this nozzle is that it
can be operated from the ground by
means OF wire ropes, working upon pulleys,
and the nozzle can be inclined at any an
gle, ana In any direction. AS the aerial
ladder can be run up TO a hight Of fifty
nye feet, the device should prove very
valuable one for fighting fires from upper
story windows
The ladder is now equipped with ordi-
nary 2ls-inch hose and a 115-inch nozzle
A sufficient length of 3-inch hose has been
ordered and nozzle Of any size desired
can be attached. The intention IS where
the hremen are driven from a building by
the neat, to attach two engines to the
nose OF the water tower, and with large
nozzle at the upper end, perfect deluse
OF water can be poured into the burning
building. Three engines can be attached
Il desired, and a large stream of water
thrown with tremendous force.
An OLD fire chief, who was in the city
recently, remarked, in discussing the sub
Ject of water towers: You don't need
water tower very often, but when you
DO need 1t, you need 1t bad"
The services of the aeria. ladder is not
interfered with by the addition. About
the most valuable service an aerial truck
can perform is the rescue of persons from
upper stories of burning buildings, when
egTess by the lower floors is cut off. The
truck at headquarters has never been
called upon to perform this service, but
the remark of the old fire chief on the
subject OF water towers applies equally as
well to aerial ladders under such circum-
stances. There is no reason why the I'M
provised water tower should not prove a
success, but it is to be hoped that Chief
Mcguire may not be called upon to use it
soon

FELL FROM THE TRUCKS.
A Negro Tramp Meets the Usual
Death of His Kind

Fred Walker, young negro tramp, was
killed at the Georgia and Alabama rail-
road yard, west of the city. last night at
1895 o'clock. by falling under the wheels
OF a train on which he was stealing a
ride. There were two other negroes with
Walker. who told the story of his DEATH
They were all from Dalton, they said.
and started from there TO Savannah to
look for work. They boarded passenger
train No is of the Georgia and Alabama
railroad, at ClaXton, yesterday, riding on
the trucks They made the trip
safely until the train rolled into
the yard, where it slowed up and stopped.
Just before the tralu stopped Walker
dropped from the truck. having fallen
asleep. his companions thought. He fell
under the wheels and the two rear
coaches passed over his body. The train
was moving very slowly and came to a
stop just after the rear coach passed
over the body When the train stopped
the other two negroes ran back and pulled
Walkers body of the track. The body
had been almost cut In two across the
middle.
The negroes then notified the telegraph
operator at the yard office OF the accident.
The yard master telephoned Coroner
Goette who made an Investigation. ana
found the facts to be as stated The dead
mans companions gave their names as
Bob Cobb and Ed Cahillion. Walker
they said was p years old. and had a
mother living In Dalton. Coroner Goethe
will write the mother to-day of her sons
death. The coroner did not consider an
inquest necessary.

In addition to the petitions already re-
ferred to, the board of trade and the cot

tons, called attention to the dredging of
the harbor and the proposed steamboat
channel to Beaufort. These resolutions
have been forwarded to the Secretary of
War, and it may be when the new Sec
rotary is indicted into Office, some action
may be taken. Were a shoal to form in

MADE INTO A WATER TOWER.
The Aerial Fire Truck Turned To 81
New Purpose.

NtW A-MEtbNts
What is believed to be a very valuable
addition TO the fire department is the con-
vertug of the aerial ladder into a water
tower. Water towers arc the latest addi-
ton to the fire-nghtins apparatus of the
large cities, and the question OF investing
IN one for the Savannah fire department
has been discussed at various times.
Chief George c. Hale OF Kansas city,
who inspected the Savannah fire depart
ment three or four years ago, IL the in
ventor OF one OF the two standard water
towers which have come into general use
during recent years. On account Of the
cost OF maintenance, in addition to the
first cost. and the further fact that
water tower H. needed only on rare oc-
casions, the Savannah fire department
has never been furnished with a tower
Chief Mcguire believes he has one now,
however
The aerial truck, an expensive piece Of
machinery which has been In the depart
ment since 1883. ana has not been called
into reqUisiton over half a dozen times
since it's purchase. had come to be regard
ed as a sort OF white elephant. The idea
occurred to Chief Mcguire some time ago
TO convert the aerial truck into a water
tower. by attaching a line OF hose TO tile
aerial ladders. and providing a large noz-
zle to be fastened to the top of the ladder
