The agents presence is brought about by
the necessity of instructing some of the men
In the proper use of the oils.
W. Barnes removed the dynamo recently
put up In the shops and got it ready for
shipment to Whitmore Lake yesterday. 1t
will be used there to light the Toledo Ice
Company's large establishment and will be
set up under the directions of Electrician
McGrail. A larger dynamo has been Sc
cured for the shops here and Mr.. Barnes est
it up in running order yesterday. Lights
will now be furnished for the carpenter
shop.
The annual inventory is being taken all
along the line this week.
The greatest cause for excitement at the.
shops this week was the arrival yesterday
morning of two new fine Baldwin lOcOmO-
tives of the most powerful type now on the
road. The engines are six drivers and
weigh about $4,000 pounds apiece.
Though not quite as heavy as the consOli
dated type In use on this road, they sIs
more powerful as they have 19x26 igcl
cylinders which are an inch greater in dl
ameter with two inches longer sa9Ip than
the consolidation type. They are lifted up
with 81 inch Westinghouse air pumps and
have braking power of 10000 pounds.
Air signal whistles are furnished and auto.
matte bell ringers operated by con.
pressed air are also furnished. The boilers
are five feet In diameter with some $50 two
inch fues twelve feet long In each. The
arch in the fire box is made of brick.
Though the drivers themselves are five feet
two inches In height, the big boilers sit up
high above them and make the engines seem
unusually tall. The tenders are built with
steel frames and elliptic springs and hold
1000 gallons of water each. The engines
are numbered Al and 40 and the first will
probably be given trial runs today by
Engineer K K. Cole.

Burton Farmers Club.

nova. sak.so POWDER CO., NEW yoas.

No, our club is not dead. nor sick, but 1,
in good working order yet. Thursday
December 30, found the most of our mem
bers ready for business, at the homs of oul
president, r. r. Rush. AS some were un
avoidably detained until rather late hour
the meeting was not called to order unit
after dinner, and there being some extra
business to attend to, even our president
could not rush things sufficiently to take In
the whole program.
After scripture reading and prayer by G.
r. WOodin the secretary's report was read,
roll called, and questions answered. "What
shall we read?"-among other suggestions
was this: 1t would be we'll to read during
the winter whatever comes to hand concern
ing our new possessions, history, geography,
customs Of the people, etc. Works of this
kind are already being advertised, so there
will be no difficulty In getting acquainted
with our new neighbors.
'WOuld 1t be best to have the Cons.itu.
ton of our State revised?" 1t was thought
that such revision would be advisable.
Miss Gulford told us how we may tell city
people from country people, but we shall
not divulge the secret.
After the questions were disposed of we
proceeded to the election of officers for the
next six months, which resulted as follows:
Pres Miss s. Guilford; vice Pres, @. r.
Woodin; Secretary, Mrs. G. T. Mason; Re-
porter, Mrs. G. r. WOodin; Cor. Sec., Miss
S. Guilford.
The delegates to the State meeting at
Lansing, Rep. g. T. Mason and and r. G.
Shepard, were then called upon and report
ed good time, and the largest meeting the
association has yet held. Reports from all
parts of the state were encouraging. The
farmers club members i'm the state now
number thirty thousand. Fifty-four new
clubs have been organized during the year.
The delegates visited the Industrial School,
also the school for the blind, which is free
to all children who are afflicted in that way.
Interesting accounts were given of the In
dustrial School, which numbers over six
hundred inmates; the splendid order main
tanned, and the excellent work done there.
There being no time for the remainder of
the program, the subject for the next meet
ing was announced: "Will the possession
of the Philippine Islands bring reduced
prices for sugar and coffee?" The ladies
will tell us about some recent events.
After listening to a couple of recitations
by the little folks, we adjourned to meet the
first Thursday in February, at Mrs. Thorp's.

PUTTING IN THE CABLES.
Georgia Telephone Co. Getting
Ready for Business.

The Georgia Telephone Company began
drawing its cables through the conduits
yesterday and hopes to have the work
finished by the end of the week The
work was begun on whitaker street, at
York street lane. and was continued to-
ward Bay
Eight reels Of cable were put in place,
which is about an average days work.
The operation of drawing the heavy cable
through the tunnels is very interesting,
and numbers Of persons were gather
around the manholes all day watching the
work. The manholes are from $50 to $40
feet apart, and The cables are run in sec
tons from hole to hole, after which they
are connected, making one long line. The
conduits are but very little larger than
the cable, and to the average person the
task of getting them through would seem
almost impossible, that is, until the mode
of procedure Is explained. From one man.
hole TO the next a wire Is run through the
conduit by means of Z sectional ram rod,
and this wire serves 10 draw through
heavy hope, which is, in turn, attached TO
the end of the cable which Is drawn
through by means of an arrangement of
blocks and tackle. with TWO horses to fur
nish the motive power.
BY these means the work is done quite
rapidly, about 5000 feet of cable being
placed in a day This cable consists Of
$40 copper wires each wrapped separately
with a double covering of paper and the
whole encased in lead one-eighth of an
inch thick: this makes a cable two and
one-quarter inches IN diameter. and its
weight and the power necessary to handle
it can be in some degree realized. The
cable on immense reels. containing
from 230 to 500 feet, There are IS of these
reels here now.
Conduits have been laid on West Broad,
Barnard, Whitaker and Abercorn streets,
running south, and on York street lane
and Bay street running east aud west.
The Abercorn line extends as far south
as Huntingdon street, and it is expected
to begin work on an extension of THIS as
soon as MIR. Bisbee returns to the city.
In the Office, at Whitaker street and
York lane, preparations are being made
to accommodate thirty-Six cables, though
until the line is extended not more than
one-third of these will be needed Each
cable viii end in a Sterling office terml-
nal, which is the best protection to be
had, having both heat coils and lightning
arrestors; the same apparatus will be
used at the subscribers stations.
Eight or ten splicers will begin work
connecting the cables as soon as they are
all drawn through the conduits. terminal
caps are being put in place, and as soon
as the switchboard is received and con-
nected the company Will be ready for
work. Owing to some slight delay on the
switchboard, the date of opening for bust
ness cannot be stated definitely, but ev-
erything possible is being done to hasten
the work. and il is confidently asserted
that business will be begun in the near
future.

DEWEY WAS NOT PIQUED.
Capt. Purse Says the Admiral Is I'm
doubtedIy in Poor Health.

Capt D. G. Purse returned yesterday.
after an absence of several days, having
remained in Washington after the depart
ure of the other members of Savannahs
Dewey Invitation Committee. Capt. Purse
is confident that the Admiral will visit Sa-
vannah
He liked our way of inviting him to
visit us and leaving him to name the
date said Capt. Purse. He desires to
visit the South this winter for rest and
recreation, and is sure to give Savannah
the first call The engagements recently
Cancelled by the Admiral on account of his
i'll health refer only to the immediate and
pressing engagements, those which he had
already accepted"
Capt. Purse is convinced all reports to
the contrary, that Admiral Dewey did not
cancel his Atlanta engagement because of
politics or because he was offended at the
manner in which his coming had been her
aided and the extensive preparations made
for the event
Il am satisfied that the Admiral was
sincere IN his statement that he was com
PEELED to cancel his enga cement to visit
Atlanta because of i'll health | do NOT
think political influences had anything to
40 with ii. ii is pretty well understood
that the Admiral is a Democrat, and so
he cannot be suspected of campaigning
for the Republican nomination as against
Mr. Mckinley. Neither do I think the Ad-
miral objected to the amount of advertis-
ing given his visit. He was aware that
the Atlanta people regarded him as one
OF the chief attractions of their fair and
is good natured enough not to mind help
ing them out The reception of the Sa-
Vannah committee by the Admiral was
most pleasant and cordial but il was easy
to see that he was not in the best of
health He returned from Manila in bad
shape, and the attention which he has
been forced to undergo since his arrival in
this country have not helped him any"
Capt Purse adheres to the opinion OK
pressed by him during the call of the Sa-
vannah committee upon Admiral Dewey
that the Admiral is the only candidate
Tor the Democratic party to place in nonli-
nation, and that be could be overwhelm-
ingly elected.
Dewey is the only man who can bring
the Democrats in out of the wet" said
Capt Purse. lie IS the only man uDoD
whom the Eastern, Southern ana Western
Democrats can agree, and whose nomina
ton viii brush aside the troublesome cues
lions which now divide the party. The
people are tired of the control of the ooli-
tlcians, and they would flock TO Dewey as
a blessed relief"
