A gentleman who came in from Florida last night to spend some time hero before returning n rth, said that H in. Caauncey M. Depew is very happy at Bt. Augustine. He ts a lord in the ancient city. People w.io have never seen him before gaze upon him in admiration, and the New Yorkers there are proud of him. Mr. Depew has not made many speeches, but he has not lacked for opportunities. Ha works harder to make the people believe that he is on a qu et frodc than he would were he to open hi- mouth after dinner. He seems ta have left every care at his desk in New York, and he scrolls about tue Ponca da Leon ia full dress, the happiest mortal that e. E i-Gov. Bonham of South Carolina is spending some time at the Pulaski. Gov. Bonham's home is in Columbia. A short time ago be was taken sick, aud his trip to Bavaunah is to recuperate.

Ole Bull had the jewel sot in the end of his b .w, audit g ..sto.ied ad sparkled as the great violi.iist played. Mr. Spier said that he was the proudest man he ever saw when he played. He nev er executed a piece more tuuu twice before he was familiar wi h it, nnd he would cast his eyesover the audience .luring the sweet est strains to see how his hearers were charmed. lie thre w his whole -oul into the music, and was as much pleased when he was plaviug as were those who listened.

AN INVESTIGATION OF THE CITY’3 ELECTRIC SYaTc.NI. * The Southeastern It-riff Association’s Electrician Examining the Brush Company’s Plant and the “Isolated Plants” in Savannah—tome of the Detects Pointed Out—Tho Object of the Inspection. J. S. Alfred, electrician for the South i eastern Tariff Association for the states of ; Georgia, Alabama, F.orida, and the two ! Carolines. Is at the Pulaski house. He | has finished fcu inspection of the ! e ectric light plants and wires ia Savan -1 r.ah except the plant of the Gurrie Ici Man ufacturing Compa y, which he will inspect to-morrow. Tuesday he will leave for Charleston. Mr. Alfred was eL ti how he found the ■ plants here. He replied that the street service is very g od. There i-an absence of guard wire?, however, to suppirt tho wooden pins on the cross arms of poles and of guard wires to prevent overhanging telephone or telegraph wire; fr in coming in contact with the electric wires in street lighting. Of toe defec-s in ti.e commercial system. Mr. Alfred says the defects are not peculiar to the Bi ns i Elec tric Light Compin plant in this city, but all the plants in his territory, to a groutw or loss extent, have he same defects. He says the fault is not with tho local compa nies, hot of the manufacturers of toe plants, who navo not generaiiy fully equ; ped the Diants, but have sent tr.em in an iucjmplete shape, and ho says that this is true of the cent, al stations, which are sometimes much wjisj than isolate ; plants. DEFECTS POINTED OUT. Mr. Alfred say; tLat bis province is not t) tie a fault finder. He acts mo oin an ad visory capacity, ad be nis found t.iat tho electric light companies have shown a will ingness to remedy the defects when brougnt to thmr ntten ion. This ho says is true of the Brush Electric Lignt Company of this city, whoso office!; ailed hi u in every way to make his inspection thorough, and they assured hi n that tiie defects will be remedied promptly. Mr. Alfred says that as a result of the inspection the expense of remedying the defects wiil bo more than compensated by t;.e ec.momy of operating the plant, and thi; will apply also to the isolated plants. Mr. Alfred found defect; of t • enty-eight different kinds in tho strai t and commercial system of electric lighting in Bavaunah, which are classified as folio.vs: DEFECTS IN SAVANNAH WIRES. Wires passing through holes not addi tionally insulated. Wires noc lapped to tubing outside of holes. Wires not arranged to prevent the intro du tioti of moisture. IV ires not saparr. ed the required distance. Wires in contact with or too c'oso to for eign metalilic b rlijs. Wires attaoaod by cleats or staple;,which applies to arc luh! . Wires attache! bv staples, which applies to incandescent wires oniy. Wire; not rigi liy separated. Wires with nak and splices, connections or insulation abraded. More than ono wire through the same hole. Wire3 concealed so a; to prevent inspec tion. Mr. A.fred ays in these cases tiie wires were correctly pat in, as far as could be seen. Wires to be rearranged. Wires dead or siperflaous. Mr. Alfred says that very little dead or superfluous wire belongs to the Brash company here, which is in its favor. Wires to be removed. Pore liin insulators for outside work. These are prohibit 1. This applies to arc lights, and sonio of the porcelain iusalators have been used here. Insulators not properly arranged. Lamps not entirely exposed. There are, he says, one or two arc lights in buildings with this defect. Lamps not smled on the bottom. This defect is a dangerous one in (tores, as tbe carbon, by not being properly screwed in, or by tuo heat expansion of the metal h Ider may let the heated carbon fail. TANARUS, o lamos on tho Ocean steamship warve; at e pr perly sealed, but these are the only one; which aro. Lamp; ne t provided with spark arresters. This applies to arc light?. Tubing rotton, split, defective or not of approved material. Transformers located inside of the build ing. Thi; defect was found in only two or throe cases. Trausf rmers not propsrly insulated. Several of these defects exist. No single light fu es. This defect was quite frequently met with. No branch fuses. This defect was met win in some ca es, but is not general. No ent-out switch. This is for arc lights only, and twelve cases of tho kind were t uad. This defect is a serious one, as the cut-out switch is demand and so that iu c ises of accident, suc.i ns a lire, there sho .id boa cut-oat switch e tally accessible from tho outside by policemen and firemen to isolate tho bui! ling by turning if tha electric fluiJ. Cut out switch not properly located, so that they may he accessible from the out side. No insulating joints la gas fixtu-os. This def ect is very general, and occurs whore electric wires would follow the gas fixtures for a double system of lighting. Loose rosettes, cleit ', insulators or other fixtures. Mr. Alfred says there are fewer of this last class of defects iu Savannah tha i in any other city whose electric plants he has inspected. TOE CONDITION OF PRIVATE PLANTS. K ferring to private plants, or what is known in electrical parlance as “isolated plants,” Mr. Alfred says that a report on ono will c me very near covering all, as the same defects u-ually exist in all. Of the private plant of the Morning News building, Mr. Alfred says that the work of putting in the plant was carefully done, ami the insulation is uow iu good con dition. The De .Soto plant, Mr. Alfred sny3, was carefully dme,\but some few defects were 1 und, which aro now being remedied. The dynamo of the Savam.au brewery plaut was found in a damp pl'ice, and an absence was noted of single light fuses, and the w.res are not specially i .sula od as re quired for damp places. DEFECTS GENERALLY FOUND. The dm s cf the Georgia fertilizer works and ti.e Southern Cotton Oil Com pany, Mr. Alfred ays have the same de tects as are usually found —an absence of i.ceessary instruments for economic opera tion and absence of single light fus is. Mr. Alim I, who li i? been aii uis life co i nected with eiectri al appliances, began Uis work of inspecting tho plants ii lus terri tory Oct. 1, last, and ha* c unpletad A!a ba na and in-ported ’he plants at Atlanta, .Vugu.ta, Macon, Am.ir.cus, Ooiumbus.

The musical public was given it3 first hearing of the Mason & Hamlin Grand Piano at the concert in the theater last Thursday evening. To say that the instru ment excited favorable comment is to put the case mildly. Very few musiciaus ever were aware that the Mason & Hamlin Company had succeeded in producing so tine a piano, the fact being that it ranks among the very first instruments cow liefore the public.
