Cause of the ChattahOochee's Delay
on Voyage from New York.
The steamship Chattahoochee ar
rived at her dock at o'clock yester-
day morning 40 hours out from New
York. She sailed from there Friday
afternoon shortly after the City of Au-
gusta.
The next morning a sailor fell from
the main boom and struck on the
combing of hatch, fracturing his knee
bone. The man suffered intense pain
and his condition was such that Capt
Lewis put into Hampton Roads So that
he could secure surgical attention. II
was night when the vessel arrived in
the roads and the pilot did not like to
take her out at night, so she went into
Norfolk and took on coal and proceed
ed TO Savannah the next day. The time
lost in going into Norfolk caused the
delay in her arrival here.
The Chattahoochee brought no pas
sengers. AS soon as she is loaded she
will sail for Boston direct. leaving to-
morrow. She will sail from Boston on
her return TO Savannah next Wednes-
day, Sept. 30.

NEW LADDER PIPE
WILL BE TESTED.
New Device will Make Aerial Truck
Powerful Fire Machine.

NtLCHhhes
What is considered one of the best
pieces of fire-1ghting equipment de-
vised in long while is to be tested
either to-day or tomorrow by Fire
Chief Mcguire. 1t is the Hart ladder
pipe and was received on approval
yesterday morning by Chief Mcguire.
The recent invention is for use on
aerial ladders and has been put in
place on the truck at the Central Sta
ton. One of the big engines will be
used in making the test, and if the
device works as we'll as it is said to-
the Fire Committee of Council will
probably purchase it. The pipe was
on exhibition at the recent convention
of fire chiefs at Atlantic City and at
tracted the attention of Chief Ma
guire.
Since the aerial truck has been in
service it has on several occasions
been lacking in efficiency. Great diff
Guilty has been experienced in direct
ing a stream of water from the top
of a ladder and more than once the
attempt has had to be abandoned. The
force with which the large volume of
water leaves the nozzle causes the lad
der to bend and swerve and renders
the StISdIl useless. IL mas
been found that it is impossible for
one man to handle a line of hose even
under ordinary circumstances and that
two men only caused the ladder to bend
more.
'rhe Hart ladder pipe does away with
all of this and the stream can be di-
rected with accuracy by a man on the
ground. In raising or lowering the
pipe tip. or nozzle. not a single pound
of dead weight in hose or water is
lifted. The pipe works on swivels, in
dependent of the hose connection on
the pipe frame which is permanently
attached to two rungs on the under
side of the ladder. In this way the
pipe does not interfere with the men
ascending or descending. A system OF
pulleys makes it possible to easily
change the direction of stream to any
angle, and it can be kept at any point
desired by man on the ground.
There is little strain on the ladder
at any time and it can be turned in anv
direction at will. The direction of the
stream can be- elevated or lowered
without trouble by single man on the
ground. Chief Mcguire saw just how
the ladder pipe worked and had one
sent at once on approval to Savannah
If 1T is purchased, and it will he if t
cores up to representations, the city
will have to pay 5000 for it, Chief Ma
guire says that the device is well worth
that amount to the city and that with
it the aeriel truck will become an i'm
portant factor at any fire of conse-
quence that Savannah may have.
