TO SAVE LIVES AT SEA.
A Savannah Inventors New Life
Saving Device.

Mr.. John P. DAILY of this city. who is
the inventor and owner of several patent
ed devices, has perfected a novel device
to prevent loss of life in case of ship
wreck or other accidents at sea.
An examination of the patent office
records, show that his invention is new
and original. there being nothing of the
kind ever patented that covers the prin-
ciples of construction and operation en-
braced in his invention. The principle Of
his device is the float so constructed as to
retain its buoyancy under all conditions,
preventing the occupant from drowning.
The device is so arranged as to admit of
immediate use in case of need by a sin
gle person, and is provided with food and
drink for one week. 1t has also a supply
of phosphide of calcium, which will burn
for one week or longer, and suitable
staff for a distress signal, under the con-
troll of the occupant. These signals are
designed to attract passing vessels, thus
insuring the picking up of the lone pas
senger. In case of necessity a passenger
enters the life saver, and is locked in,
and is plunged into the water, or he may
wait until the ship sinks when the device
floats automatically.
In the life saver he stands erect or can
sit down, and has by means of visional
glass covered openings a view at all points
of the compass. The device being air and
water tight, the occupant is perfectly
dry, and is provided with an air tube I'M
der his control Under no conditions can
he sink and he is perfectly safe until
picked up by some vessel, or, is washed
ashore In the latter case, he can unlock
the device, get out and wade ashore.
The device is also in pairs for man and
wife a larger one made for groups of 20
or more people, and provided with all the
above requisites, and in addition a COM
pass, propeling and steering apparatus,
manipulated by the occupants. The pur-
pose of this larger affair is to provide a
means for soldiers on transports, or pas
sengers and seamen to go in groups.
Mr.. Anthony Pollak of Washington. and
his wife were drowned in the wreck OF
the Inflated French steamer La Bur-
goyne, and his heirs have offered a prize
of $4,000 for the best life saving device
for use at sea. All devices are to be eX-
hibited at the Paris Exhibition, and sub
mitted to a committee of award which
will select the best and pay the prize.
Mr.. DAILY will secure his patents, and
submit his invention to the committee,
and is sanguine of success in the contest
He has great confidence in the efficiency
and practicability of his invention, and
even if he does not win the prize. he be-
lieves he has a good chance to do So
Whatever device is accepted by the COM
mittee means wealth for the lucky in
Ventor.

GUARDS WON 80 TO 10.
Defeated the Cadets at Indoor Ball
by Round Score.

Defeated the Cadets at Indoor Ball
by Round Score.
The indoor bal! teams of the Guards and
the Cadets played at the Guards Hall
last night. The game resulted in score
of 30 to Is in favor of the Guards.
Both teams labored under the disad-
vantage of being a man short, and this
together with the cold weather may have
been responsible to large degree for the
exceptionally large scores made on both
sides
The Guards were first at the bat, and
had a cake walk, as the batting list went
around almost twice, and when the third
man was put out the runs tailed up IL.
The Cadets couldn't quite equal this high
water mark so compromised on when
their turn at the bat came. The features
Of the game may be said to have consisted
in the uniformity with which hits We're
made off of the pitchers, and the excep-
tionally poor playing of the fielders on
both teams. There were one or two good
plays but they were hopelessly swallow
ed up in the bunch of errors.
The next game will be played on Satur-
day Feb 3. between the Guards and the
Y. NJ. H.. A.
The manager of the Y M. H. A. team,
who recently wrote to some Augusta men
who are interested in athletics. with q
view of getting a team of the Augustans
to come to Savannah and play game,
received a reply yesterday in. which the
writer states that a team win come if il
is guaranteed expenses. Judging from
the interest that is taken in the game
such a guarantee ought not to be hard
to secure. and it is quite likely hat a
series of inter-city games might be ar
ranged. rstt
The line up of the teams last night was
as follows:

AGENTS AND OPERATORS
OF the Southern want the Right to
REGISTER Complaints.

he3lSteF
Agents and operators employed by the
Southern Railway are .clamoring for the
right to be heard when they desire to
make complaints or requests. Petitions
are said to have gone TO headquarters at
Washington. They are said to be after a
correction of Irregularities and the intro
duction of regulations governing rates OF
pay and hours for work A well-known
telegrapher is quoted by the Atlanta Con-
stitution as follows:
ut is true the agents and operators en-
ployed on the Southern Railway have
asked the company for the adjustment of
certain grievances and the adoption of
rules and regulations similar to those gov
erning the employment of conductors
trainmen, firemen and engineers on that
road and similar to rules in force on other
roads governing the employment of opera
tors The operators and agents have aslS-
ed the several superintendent for hear
ings. but so far they have been slow to
grant such hearings, and the men are
somewhat impa tient, but we anticipate
that when the matter is laid before the
higher officials there will be no difficulty
in satisfactorily arranging the several
questions at issue. The operators believe
they will be treated in the same spirit of
fairness that has been accorded the men
in the other branches of the train ser
vice and they have no occasion to take
their grievances before the general public
at this time"
Supt Vaughn of the Atlanta Division of
the Southern declares he never turned
down any men who were seeking an audi
ence and that he knows of no grievances
they are seeking TO have corrected.

PIGEONS OF THE ACADEMY.
Small Boys Wage n MerciIess War
Against the Birds.

Shooting pigeons with parlor rifle is a
pleasant pastime that is indulged in in the
heart of the city by several small boys,
who, ignoring the police and the ordl-
nances totally. persist in bringing down
the birds from the caves of Chatham
Academy. -Four of the youngsters were
engaged in this delectable sport yesterday
afternoon, one handling the rifle and the
others picking up an occasional bird that
fell before his aim or keeping a weather
eye out against the appearance of a po-
liceman around the corner.
The boys were proudly displaying the
pigeons that had fallen. Each of them
had one or more tucked under his coat or
into his shirt, oblivious of the blood or
caring nothing about it until some watch-
full mother should espy il and proceed to
wreak punishment for such dissertation
of clothing. One or two windows have
been broken in the vicinity of the acad-
envy by rifle bullets or sling missiles. so
that damaged clothing and dead pigeons
are not the only effects of the sport.
