GEORGE WILSON'S MINsrRELs.
They Gave a Fine Performance Last
NiRht-staRe Notes.

They Gave a Fine Performance Last
Night-staRe Notes.
George Wilson did wise thing when he
discarded gaudy personal trappings and
went back TO black faces aud old -time min
strelsy. Savannah showed its appreciation
of the change by giving him one of tho
largest Saturday night houses seen here
barring one or two exceptional cases like
Bernhardts performance--in some years.
Wilson has gathered around him this
year the be { talent IN his line. The conf
pany Is strong throughout, and there Is not
a feature of the entire programme that
could be eliminated without weakening the
whole. 1t is pleasing from beginning to
end, and the equipoise between quiet
humor and rollioking fun has been
well preserved. The music is above
even Wilson's past high standard.
The audience last night evidently derived
more enjoyment from the minstrels than
any audience has from a performance of q
similar character for long time. The
work of Wilson, Whelen, joke Wslbey,
Will Walhng, Ed Latell, Harry Greve and
the others was excellent throughout
wilson has set an example and achieved
a success SO far this season that will proba-
bly, lead other companies to gradually
adopt the typical features Of the early days
OF minstrelEy, without the ooarssness that
then characterized such performances.
White faces, with velvet costumes, trimmed
with gold could be dispensed with and their
absence not mourRed If fresh humor aud
good voices took their place, as ia Wilson'S
combination.

TO UNITE ITS TERMINALS.
THE ELECTRIC TO START WORK AT
THE MARKET TOMORROW.

Foundations VIII Soon Be Laid and
Everything Made Ready for the
Erection Of the Iron Columns That
VIII Support the Tracks-It Will
Probably Be November Before Cars
Will Run Through the Building.
Tomorrow material will be gathered at
the market for work on the extension OF the
Electric Railway Company's line through
the building, which will unite the present
terminals and make the road complete
belt
On Tuesday work will begin on the foun>
datlons. These will be az solid as adamant.
They will be about Eve feet deep. The base
will be Of solid csmant. About the sewer
will be heavy layer of cement and oyster
Shells This will not touch the sewer pipe,
and after the foundations are completed
the pipe can be Withdrawn and new pipe
inserted at any time il necessary, without
interfering with the foundations and the
working of the electric road.
The thick slanting sides of the foundations
and the upper portion will DO of brick. The
upper layers of brick will partly rest upon
a heavy stone slab which will still further
protect the pipe from damage. A stronger
foundation and better plan to pr otect the
sewer pipe could not be devised.
the upper face Of the foundations comes
flush with the floor of the market base
ment. On them will be placed pillars of
the best wrought iron. They will be what
is known as lattics work aud about a foot
square From tho tops of these girders will
extend supporting the tracks. This is the
