a nIa DEMOCRATIC HuRRAH.
a Bay Street Man Wants 1t on Co.
lumbus Day.

a Bay Street Man Wants 1t on Co.
lumbus Day.
A Bay street man has an idea for the
celebration Of Columbus day, Oct. 81. He
! proposes to turn the day into grand demo-
cratic jubilee, invite everybody IA the
neighboring counties Of Georgia and
Florida. and have grand barbecue in the
Park extension for the crowd, have
| speeches by duBignon. Ham, Whitfield
Lester, Morgan and other democratic
orators; invite Cows. Northen and Till
man, Speaker Crisp, Congressman
Turner and Livingston and all the demo-
cra.fo congressional candidates. Have Col.
| wright and all the. leading democrats in
surrounding counties present and make il
the grandest democratic hurrah ever known
IN savannah; let all the boys turn out; have
out the brass bands give the school children
holiday and make gala day OF it generally.
"a barbecue is something out of the usual
line IN Savannah" said the gentleman who
is from Southwest Georgia, and whose
mouth still waters when he remembers the
great barbecues Of that section.
1t would take with the people i'm
menselv," he said. Everybody would enjoy
1t. 1t would be a novelty for the
townspeople and the country peo-
pie would feel perfectly at home.
Aney could give US some pointers
don't believe )" continued the same gentle
mau, that half the people in Savannah
over saw a barbecue. 1t would be revela-
ton TO them and they would want TO take
IN every one In fifty miles Of the city here
after. 1t wouldn't cost very much. We
would want plenty Of barbecued pig and
lamb, roast beef, boiled ham aud pickles
and few side dishes. Beer for the crowd.
OF course. Che bakeries would give us all
the bread needed. The tables could be
erected in the Park extension, but the car
cases would have to be barbecued on some
OF the vacant lots near by. The speakers
stand would be erected near the monument,
as usual. There couldn't be better occa-
sion for democratic jubilee. The day will
be a semi-hollday anyway. The military
might grace the occasion with parade in
honor OF Columbus. We could certainly get
a crowd. Bin Davis would bring down
the boys from Burke, All
Harrington from Emanuel Dan
Grower from Bulloch, Clifton from TAFT
nall, and the other counties would not fail
to 20 represented. We could make Col. J.
l.. Warren master of ceremonies and it
would be day never to be forgotten. Let
US have barbecue, by all means. The bar.
becue Is the thing. There is no doubt OF 1t. ;"

Morning by Addie LaRoche.
Michael Kairnes was stabbed six times by
Addie LaRoche this morning at 1870
O'Clock on Indian street. near Farm.
Kairnes' wounds are serious. He has four
deep cuts in the back, his right arm is split
to the bone from the shoulder almost
to the wrist and he has a deep cash In his
nose.
A woman was the cause Of the murderous
attack, which was committed in acowardly
manner. LaRoche called at the
house Of his mistress. Mary sauls,
at l o'clock, but was denied
admittance. He waited in the shadow Of
the tree-oox on the edge OF the sidewalk for
half an hour until Kairnes came out and
started to walk down the street.
Then LaRoche sneaked up behind him
stealthily and drove his knife four times
into the mans bacK before be could turn
around. As Kairnes wheeled LaRoche
piled the knife on his nose, and followed
this by splitting his arm.
Kairnes cried murder" and ''polioe,"
and started up Indian street intending to
find doctor. At West Broad street he met
Policemen Kavansugh and Haines, who
were hurrying to find out what hsd occa-
stoned the outcries
The officers met Ksirnes just in time to
prevent him from falling from loss Of blood.
Although only about a block and half
away from his boarding house he was
unable to walk there, and the police
ambulance had TO be summoned to take
him home Physicians we're sent for and
his wounds dressed. The result cannot be
predicted for few days.
After sending Kalrnes home Police
men Kavanaugh and Haines began
a search for LaRoche. Mary Sauls' house
was visited, but 1t was deserted. The
woman living next door said she and La
Roche had left together Immediately after
the cutting affair. Other places where
it was thought LaRoche might be hiding
were searched, but he could not be found,
and at $3.50 o'clock, as the police were about
to abandon the attempt to locate
their man, Policeman Kavanaugh captured
Mary Sauls on her way back to the house.
She was taken TO the barracks, aud fur

The Electric Railway Company has an
nounced its ultimatum TO the motormen
and conductors in their employ.

he must sign the obligation. Smith refused
and was promptly discharged. The union
will hold meeting tomorrow night and
Smiths case will be brought up. What
course the union will pursue cannot be pre-
dicted.
Smith is indignant over the manner in
which be was treated. This oath bust
ness )" said he, "is an outrage upon the men.
The officers Of the company say there is
nothing in it, and yet they force their
employees either to take it or surrender
their jobs. 10 is put at them in
plain English: Your oath or your bread
When the oath was presented TO me 1
argued with the officials against the incon-
slstency OF the company's position in re-
quiring US TO sign an obligation TO do the
very thing for which Conductor Lee was
discharged q few days ago. / declined to
agree 70 it unless the company was willing
TO bind itself to the same extent.

by some, because l am opposed TO strikes.
The company cooled off about the oath
until they saw the MORNING NEWS account
OF the trouble yesterday, when l was called
TO the office, discharged and ordered to
leave the premises at once.H
The oath which the Electric company re-
quires the men TO take before a notary
public is as follows:

Gay OF ----, -----, an employe OF the
Electric Railway Company of Savannah, who

The agreement Smith asked the company
to sign in return for the oath Of the en-
ployes is as follows:
In consideration that said - has subscribed
TO the foregoing oath ana that he sla and vii
conform TO the aforementioned rules, the sale
company now promises that he shall be retaine,
in the service of the said company so long a.
be complies with the rules and regulations pre-
scribed by said company. and that he shall b.
discharged from its serviC5 for no other cause
than non compliance with sa rules

the Leading Role.

christmas Bells" With the Author in
the Leading Role.
John A. Stevens, the actor-author, ap-
peared at the theater last night as the lead
ing character in christmas Bells one of
his own productions, He was supported by
| a good company. every member Of which
did much to add to the pleasure Of the large
audience in attendance.
The play is a comedy-drRma in four acts,
and is above the average production of the
kind seen in the south. The pathos of the
piece is produced in quite natural manner,
which is rare in plays of the period, In most
Of which finer emotions are burlesqued
more frequently than faithfully portrayed.
And the comedy in "Christmas Bells" is of
that spontaneous and unaffected kind which
might be expected to arise under circum-
stances similar to those represented on the
stage. Last nights performance-the first
of christmas Bellsn in this city-was
decided success
MIR. Stevens and his company came here
from Charleston, whore they are under en-
gaRement with Mr.. l.. Arthur O'Neill Of
O'Neill's grand opera house for a season Of
several weeks OF comedy-drama-a thing
heretofore unknown in Charleston since old
stock company days Mr.. O'Neill has
shown his pluck not less than his faith in
Charleston by engaging such company
for such length of time. He deserves the
success which he is winning.

The 5-acre farms which are now be-
ing advertised in the MORNING NEWS
mark the first attempt in this county to di-
vide an entire plantation into small hold
ings. The property is most fortunately Sc.
lected for the experiment, and il is TO be
hoped that it will be only the initiatory
movement TO greater development Of the
agricultural resources Of this county,
Tue property is admirably adapted for
profitable farming, and its situation is such
that its products can be readily shipped to
either home or to northern, eastern or west
ern markets. Heretofore the most of the Of
ferings of farming lands in this county have
been such as are without transportation
facilities, or far away from the city. The
GraDRsn plantation combines all the
advantages that farmers require for
profitable farm work Three of
the lots have already been
bought by three well-known successful
farmers, who propose to raise garden stuff.
Plats of the property can be had Of Mr.. NJ
j. Solomons, lis Bryan street. Everybody
who wants a farm or "a home should get a
| plat aud study over the subject.

A BULLET IN HIS BRAIN.
PATRICK IGOE's DESPERATE SUI
CIDa BY SHOOIING.

He Stole a Pistol From Under BIS
Room-mate's Pillow and Fired the
Fatal Shot in Bed-Drunkenness the
Cause Of His Taking Of-rhe Coro-
ner Decides an Inquest Unnec-
essary.
Patrick Igoe shot himself through the
head in his room at Mrs. Dodson's boarding
house at Liberty and East Broad streets at
2:2O O'Clock yesterday morning.
Savannah seems to be suffering from an
epidemic Of suicides. Four In three weeks
is the record.
Drunkenness was the cause Of the last
one.
Igoe was an engineer, but had been out
Of employment for some time. For several
days he had been drinking heavily and
Sunday afternoon be was drunk. He occu~
pied a room with two other men, named
Odum and Rogers, and retired early Sun
day night He must have made up his
mind quickly about suiciding, as he was in
good spirits when he went to bed.
Odum always slept with pistol under
his pillow, and he was awakened by feeling
somebody fooling, as he thought, with his
head rest.
STOLE A PISTOL.
He raised up and saw Igoe walking away
from his bed, and, although Odum did not
know it, the man had hi pistol. A mo-
mept later be was startled by a pistol
shot from Igoe's bed, followed quickly
by another. Odum and Rogers
thought they were being fired at aud,
springing out of bed ran out Of the room.
The third shot was fired as they cleared the
door, and then everything became still.
After waiting about a minute to make
sure that the shooting was over, Odum and
Rogers, accompanied by other boarders, re-
turned to the room TO investigate. They
found Igoe lying across his bed with blood
squirting out OF the left side Of his head
across the bedolothing and against the wall.
He was alive, but unconscious.
NO NEED FOR DOCTORS.
A messenger was sent for DR.. Comm. He
responded at once, and pronounced the
wound fatal. The bullet entered Igoe's left
temple and ranged up aud across his head,
lodging close against the scalp. Between
8 and o'clock DIR. Comm decided to send
lgoe to the infrmary and telephoned the
police barracks for the ambulance, but De-
fore il arrived the man died Coroner
Dixon decided an inquest unnecessary.
Igoe was 60 years OF age and had lived
here many years. He was a widower and
leaves one daughter.

any OF the white schools, except the Chat

The majority are small and will enter the
lower grades.

any teacher can handle properly.
The number OF pupils at the Henry Street
school will be limited to 400, the number
FOR which accommodations have been pro-

BAKING POWDER.

House by the democrats, and to accomplish
this they will aid the third party candidates
wherever they lave a prospect Of success
1t is fact, he says, that the taxes Of the
negroes are being paid and that
they are being registered in large numbers
In certain counties in Middle Georgia, par
ticularly in Tom Watson's district. In
Warren county alone, small county, over
400 negroes have paid their taxes and
registered in the last few days Many OF
them were several years behind with their
taxes and it is estimated that Warren
county Is $4,000 richer by the transaction.
PAYING THEIR TAXES.
In Washington county over 1000 negroes
have registered and paid their taxes. In
Jefferson county the negroes have regis
tered IN large numbers. The money Is
Icing supplied to pay their taxes from
somewhere. There is a belief in some
quarters that Watson is devoriag his own
means to this purpose. He is estimated to
be worth in the neighborhood OF $50. 600.
He realizes that defeat at this juncture
means political oblivion for him hereafter,
the issue.
IF Watson is defeated in his race, -
said a gentleman who is we'll acquainted
with him to Mr.. Whitfield, "he will be
bankrupt, morally, socially, politically and
financially. 1t is life and death struggle
WILD MIN"
Nevertheless Mr.. Whitfield says that TAX
Ing Watson's own figures, Maj. Black will
defeat him by a majority Of from 800 to
1000 votes. This is based upon uonser-
vative estimate of the democratic ma iority
in three counties only, Richmond, Hancock
and Wilkinson. Ali thu rest are conceded
to Watson, though it is probable the demo-
Gratis Will carry some of them.
In the Sixth, Mr.. Whitfelds district, Joe
Pottle of Milledgeville is still in the field
against Hon. Tom Cabanis9, the democratic
candidate, but will be badly showed under.
The other congressional candidates are all
safe.
Mr. Whitfield will receive a warm well

TREATMENT OF CHOLERA.
Horsford's Acid Phogphate,

DIR. CHAs. GATCHELL Of Chicago, in his
Treatment of Cholera says: GAS it is
known that the cholera microbe does not
flourish in acid solutions, it would be well
to slightly acidulate the drinking water.
This may be done by adding to each glass Of
water half tesspoonful Of Horstord's cid
Phosphate. This will not only render the
water OF az acid reaction, but also render
boiled water more agreeable to the taste. 1t
may be sweetened il desired. The Acid
Phosphate. taken as recommended, will also
tend to invigorate the system and correct
debility, thus giving increased power of re-
sistance to disease. 1t is the acid OF the
