Ths arrival of the steamship Allegheny
in port this mornkig on her first trip on
the new Philadelphia Havatinah l.lne Is
regarded with considerable Interest by the
business men and rltlaen.* generally. ***
well as by shipping people The Allegheny
is not new to Savannah, but the venture
| in which she Is engaged is anew one and
one which Is expected lo lead to much
good result.
What the people of Philadelphia fhtnk
of the new steamship line and Its Import
ance to their port Is well evidenced by the
demonstration which was given the Alle
gheny on the rx caslon of her first depart
ure This was Tuesday afternoon at 3
o * lock, when h regular ovation was given
the steam hip Mayor Ashbrldge. the
he.nls of several of the municipal depart
ments. representatives of the Trades
League nnd other business organixations
which fmd taken a hand In bringing about
a resumption of trade by water between

lisisrd the vessel before her departure,
and addresses were mud** expressing the
pleasure and Interest which was felt on
all sides at the successful Inauguration of
Philadelphia t effort to regain her South

owing to the Interest manifested by
Philadelphian* nnd the benefits which are
likely to result to l>oth cities from renewed
trad# Intercourse. t was thought that
some assurance should be given here of
th* approval and appreciation felt by B

sister port
Acting Mayor Tledeman. when asked
about the matter yesterday. **id that
while the enterprise and good feeling of
Philadelphia was fully appreciated here
he hardly thought It possible to arrange
for any demonstration.
"Ii i Msy enough to give a serid-off
to a vmvel departing from a port.’* said
