There are good reasons for thinking
that the prospects of Savannah for a
prosperous future are more promising
than those of any other Southern city,
with the exception, perhaps, OF Brming-
ham. Ala. The chief OF these reasons is
the growth OF Der business from her new
railroad connections already made and
her promised business from connections
soon TO be made.
The Georgia Central railroad has just
perfected its system in South Carolina,
from which 1t is already getting
good business, and it is now de-
voting its attention TO making a
direct connection with the West-a
connection which it has long desired
and which it will soon have. The Column
bus and Western is being rapidly ex-
tended to Blrmin CHAM, Ala, at which
point it will meet the new road which IS
beng built from Kansas City. The open
ing of this line from Savannah to Kansas
City will greatly increase the amount of
freight handled at this port, because a
vast amount OF the products of the West
will seek the seaboard here. 1t will also
greatly enlarge the field of operations Of
our merchants.
The Savannah, Florida and Western
railway other great CON-
mercial artery--is constantly extending
its lines in Florida, and it will soon nave
all the better portions of that State COW
cred with a network of railroads, all Of
which must contribute something to
Savannah's prosperity. 1t has also tri-
weekly connection with Havana from
Tampa, and it is not improbable that be-
fore many months the connection will be
daily.
The outlook now is that the Savannah,
Dublin and w estern railway will be CON-
pleted WITHIN year. 1t will open up to
lumbermen and settlers a country that
can be made extremely productive. The
pine forests along it's line are perhaps
unequalled in the country, and will for
wears be the basis of a great trade in
! lumber and naval stores. When the
forests are removed the lands will richly
| repay those VINO cultivate them.
Savannah's growth within the last few
years mas been steady and solid. 1t will
| continue TO be solid, but Will be more
rapid than heretofore. Her own citizens
are somewhat amazed at her progress
| lately, but if all reasonable expectations
are realized thev will be still more aston.
ished in the near future. There is nc
want of confidence on the part of her bust
ness men. The prices they are paying
for eligible business sites show thai
they believe that the city has 8
splendid future. The demand for rea
estate, however, is not confined to bust
ness sites. Prices for residence lots are
steadily advancing in all the desirable
parts of the city. With deep channel tt
the sea, good water, good drainage and al
honest and intelligent administration o
municipal affairs Savannah will have al
excellent chance of becoming the frs
city IN the South from a commercial
standpoint, and also. perhaps, from tn
standpoint OF wealth and population.

Gen. Basil Duke and his associates who
conduct the Southern Bivouac are receiv
ing some lectures on military and journal
istic ethics, drawn out by the announce
ment Of their intention to publish some
inside facts about the Northwestern con-
spiracy TO release the Confederate prison
ers and put an end to the war by taking
the Federal government in flank and rear.
The st. Louis Republican says: IF there
were traitors at the North in 1S60-65 the
ex-Contederates who expose them in 1886
to sell magazine are doubly traitors. 1t is
hard to believe that OF the men who IN 1866
stood up proudly with the declaration
that they had lost all but honor there
are any now so degraded, so lost to all
that makes men seem honorable in the
eyes of other men, as to betray the most
sacred trusts--to sell a magazine. The
country waits the publication with inter-
est. lit comes according to programme
it may have the effect of disgracing many
for the present, but its certain effect Will
be to put Basil Duke and mis- assistants
into history as objects for the contempt
and detestatlon OF all poeterity." Per-
haps, however, the effect will not be so
disastrous as the ST. Louis contemporary
fears 1t may be. Besides, history is his
tory, hurt whom it may.

From the PhiJddeiDhiG Record.
Chief Justice Waite had Edgerton at dinner
the other day, as he usually does once week,
and had several members OF the Supreme
Court to meet HIM. While they we're sitting
around the table the Chief Justice SAID: i

II seems that the "War of Roses" be-
tween the Taylor brothers in Tennessee
has its counterpart up in Illinois. Among
the leading distillers and grain merchants
OF Peoria are five Hebrew brothers named
Woolner. Sam, the elder, is Repubi-
can, while the remainder OF the brothers
and their families are intense Democrats.
Sam was nominated for Alderman or the
Fifth ward by the Republicans, and they
have $50 majority. Jake would not
permit family ties to hinder him, and so
accepted a nomination from the Demo-
Gratis OF the Fifth ward to run for Alder
man against sam; and Jake declared he
would begin tue campaign with a mouth
organ. and he did so. Then Jake hunted
up fiddle, and the brothers entertained
vast crowds on opposite street corners.
Both are millionaires twice over, and are
spending money lavishly. They are in
dead earnest, aud the Peoria Board OF
Trade is about evenly divided IN their
support. The campaign is very hot. Sam
and Jake the other day held meetings on
the Board Of Trade floor and played their
respective instruments.

There seems now to be no reason to
doubt that artesian water can be obtained
almost anywhere near the Georgia coast
at comparatively shallow depth, and at
very moderate cost. The wells that have
been bored during the past three years
have been successful beyond the most
sangnine anticipations.
Probably few persons appreciate the
full importance Of the above noted facts.
They have an important bearing, not
only on the question of the water supply
for drinking domestic and manufacturing
purposes, but on the agricultural, or
rather Horticultural development OF the
coast country as we'll.
The greatest obstacle in the way of the
market gardeners and truck farmers of
this section is the long droughts to which
it is subject, and which do immense dam
age on an average of once every two or
three years. Heretofore irrigation on
anything like an adequate scale has been
impracticable, and only occasionally is a
small supply of water obtained from ordi-
nary wells by means of wind-mills for the
purpose of iFrigating very limited areas.
lthas been proved by actual experiments
in Southern California that the mineral
water obtained there from artesian wells
is well adapted for the irrigation of crops
of various kinds. and IL is believed that
the artesIan water OF this section is
equally as we'll adapted for the same pur.
pose. In fact, there is no reason TO be
lieve to the contrary.
Now that our market gardeners and
truck farmers have practically mex
haustble and inexpensive water supply
within their reach, a fresh impulse ought
to be given to these great and growing in,
dustries, and the uncertainty that has
heretofore tended to hamper the energies
OF the planters and limit their operations
ought TO be eliminated In the near future

a method of treatment which is now
attracting the attention of physicians
is by injecting remedies directly into
the lungs by means OF the hypodermic
syringe, the needle of which is passed
through the wall of the chest, the effort
being made to apply the medicinal
agent as nearly as possible to the af-
fected portion of the lungs. Some
very encouraging cases are reported,
In some of which the improvement has
been so great as almost to justify one
in speaking of them as cures. Car

THREE LIVES LOST.

Two Large Grain Elevators Burned at
Duluth, Minn.-Three Employees Meet an
Awful Fate-Nearly Million Bushels OF
Grain DestrOyed-SeveraI Other Build
ings Consumed-A Loss of Over $500, 900.
DULUTH, Mimi, Nov ga fire broke out
in the cupola of Elevator O. of the St. Paul
and Duluth Elevator Company, last Satur-
day night, which destroyed the elevator
with 900 bushels of wheat, new addi-
ton of 100000 bushels, Elevator A belong
ing to the Union improvement with 450, 600
bushels of grain, nine houses and stores, in
GLIDING the Turner Hall, a carriage factory
and three or four dwellings.
There were four men in the elevator at
the time the fire broke out, only one of
whom escaped alive. The names of the
victims are: Ed Lee, aged twenty-seven,
foreman Of the elevator; Charles Moore,
the fireman: @. B. Leranger, the watch
man.
Moore leaped eighty feet from window
to the ground, and was crushed to death.
He was horribly mangled. The others per-
ished in the flames. Lee had just been
married. Moore is said to be the son of a
rich farmer living near Ann Arbor, Mich

The fire continued burning all night with a
bright blaze, and the wheat will probably
burn several days. Several cars belonging
to the Manitoba and st. Paul & Duluth
roads, some of them loaded with wheat, are
also burned The cause of the fire is sup
posed to have been friction
