Col. James Hamilton Lewis. an account
Of whose SUCCESS in the northwest, in the
new state Of Washington, was published in
the MORNING News several days ago, is in
the city. II is little over six years since
Col. Lewis left Savannah, a young man
just beginning the practice Of law. His
success since that time has been remarkable,
and now he is known 70 almost everybody
on the west side" Of Washington.
A MORSING NEWS reporter had a short
talk with Col Lewis at the De Soto last
night.
''This hotel is a revelation 20 me, " be said
"When l was here last the old barracks
stood here. The De Soto is as fine hotel
as l have seen anywhere. and we have some
fine ones out west"
Col. Lewis spoke very modestly Of his
political record IN Washington. He came
very near being q congressman two years
ago. He was counted in once,
but there was some Misunderstanding as TO
the requirements Of the law, and IL was
necessary 20 hold another election, at which
he was not a candidate.
Col. Lewis does not say whether he will
make the race for governor on the
democratic ticket az the next election or
not. He has been Endorsed by the demo-
cratic convention of the west side" and If
he receives the Endorsement OF the demo-
Gratis in the eastern portion of the state he
may run.
Politics are little unsettled IN Washing
ton just now, Col. Lewis says. The demo-
Gratis have split with the farmers alliance
people and will act separately hereafter. IL
will probably be a three-cornered fight at
the next election between the democrats,
the republicans and the alliance. The re-
publicaus had several thousand majority at
the last election, but the democrats are
strong and in good fighting trim.
"Will the democratic candidate for Presl-
dent stand any chance of carrying Wash
ingtonN was asked.
IF the democrats nominate a man In
touch with the people, he will certainly
carry some of the northwestern states The
people of the northwest are Independent,
and lido not adhere closely to party lines
where they believe good man has been
nominated by either party. The demo-
Gratis have a good show to carry some OF
the new states at the next election, think"
Col. Lewis says there are a number Of
Georgians located and doing well in Wash
ington and Montana. He is well acquainted
with Hon. Charles Bolton, formerly of Sa-
vannah but now United States consul at
Vancouver, British Columbia, and with
Dudley Dubose, a grandson of Robert
Toombs. and formerly OF Washington,
Wilkes county, but now Judge Of one of the
Montana circuit courts.
Col. Lewis will remain in Savannah to-
day, returning Washington city on his
way home,

AN HEIR OF OGLETHORPE.
LOOKING UPTITLEs TO SAVANNAH
PROPERTY.

A Possible Claimant to the Site Upon
Which the City is Built-Ihe Genoa
logical Record Which is Fart of the
Claimants Case-Ssvannehians Not
Disturbed Yet Over the Matter.
O'Connor g. O'Byrne received letter yes
terdsy from Allan Goodburn, who claims
to be the heir Of Gen. James Oglethorpe.
the founder OF Georgia, asking their service
In looking up whatever property he may be
entitled to as the heir Of Gen. Oglethorpe in
and around Savannah.
The writer seemed 20 be under the im-
preston that there should be large amount
Of property here belonging to the right
full heirs Of Oglethorpe. His idea Is that
Oglethorpe must have owned large grants
of land in Savannah and vicinity, which be
still retained the title 70 after his departure
from the colony, and which were after
ward taken up nd occupied by others dur
ing the unsettled times following the revo-
luton.
The following genealogical record accom-
panied the letter:
Next Of kin Of Gen. James Oglethorpe, first
governor of Georgia, who planned and laid out
the city OF Savannah in the said state Of GeOr-
gla, A. ID. 1888, and died In England at the age
OF ~ years, probably IN old London.
Clatmant-Allan Goodburn, born Oct. %,
1928. son Of John and Mary Goodburn,
Mary Oglethorpe, daughter of Samuel ami
Margaret Oglethorpe.
The same samuel Oglethorpe was nephew TO
Gen. James Edward Ogethorpe, who died with
out issue about l7.0 to 1850, aged "a years.
Whether Gen. Oglethorpe left any lands
in Georgia, and If so, whether his heirs
would not be debarred under the statute Of
Limitation are the questions which will be
investigated by Messrs. O'Connor s.
O'BYrne. The colonial records which are
now preserved in the vaults of the capital
at Atlanta will have to be searched as evil
dence Of any grants of land or other possess
sions Of Oglethorpe. 1t would be some-
what of surprise If 100 odd years after the
departure OF the old general from Georgia,
it should be discovered that his heirs held
the titles TO a good portion of Savannah.
The surprise would not be altogether a
pleasant one.
The claimant is also endeavoring to Sc
cure possession Of a fortune Ia England,
said TO have descended from Oglethorpe.

A BOLD, BAD TERRIER.
A Vicious Canine Creates a Sensation
on Bull Street.

on Bull Street.
A mad dog, or dog supposed to be mad,
created something Of sensation on Bull
street early yesterday morning. A gentle
man who was coming down the street about
7:30 O'clock noticed black skye terrier
coming toward him in lope. He thought
the dogs manner strange, and was not
mistaken.
The dog attacked him and bit him in the
right hand. The gentleman kicked him off
and the dog ran toward party Of three
gentlemen on the other side of the street
and att oked them. They managed to beat
him off without being bitten. He next at.
tackled another dog in most vicious man
ner. whipping him in short order. The dog
then made OF down the street.
The gentleman who was bitten fastened
to have the wound cauterized. It was very
slight. aud as he is not Of a nervous tenn
permanent, be does not expect any serious
results.
All the dogs actions were those Of a mad
dog. 1t was rather cold day for mad
dogs, too.

Called Out by Burning Chimney.
A chimney Of one of the houses of the
Telfair Widows Home. at President and
West Broad streets, caught fire yesterday
about dusk. The blaze rushed out at the
top and. as usual, somebody turned in an
alarm. As this is an important neighbsr-
hood the fire department made double-
quick run end the men were Disguised TO
find that their trouble had been for moth
ing. Considering the fact that 80 many Of
these unnecessary runs result in damage
to the horses and machines and sometimes
to the men it seems that more discretion
should be used in sending in alarms. Ii
might be well for the fire chief to issue some
instructions on the subject to the police and
all persons holding keys TO the alarm boxes.
This was the second useless alarm received
from the same cause yesterday. A chimney
caught fire on Hall street yesterday morn
ing, aud q telephone alarm was sent to No.
