The DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK.

Congressman Lester Pleased With
the Prospect tor November.
Col. Rufus E. Lester is taking q short
rest since the October election, before be-
ginning the campaign anew.
Col. Lester is very we'll pleased with the
result of the recent state elect on, and thinks
now that Georgia will return a solid demo-
cratic delegation to congress this fall. The
fact that the democrats polled a majority Of
the votes cast ia Watson's district he re-
cards as very significant, especially when it
Is evident from the returns that a full
democratic vote was not polled, while the
third party people undoubtedly cast every
vote they had or controlled.
In this district, where the third party
failed Co carry single county after the
boasts they had made of their strength IN
certain counties, Col. Lester thinks it time
for the third party men to take back seat.
The democrats carried Mr.. kemp's own
county. Emanuel, and failed to poll any
thing like the vote allowed them in Burke,
BullOch, TattnaIl and Scriven counties.
Col. Lester says, however, his informa-
ton is that the tuird party people take a
different view Of the situation altogether
and that they are already at work with the
determination of making a harder fight
than ever in the November election. They
ere in hops the attempted consolidation OF
the Republican and third parties
will bs in working order
by that time and that they will at least poll
q sufficiently large vote to make a contest
on Col. Testers seat in Gaze the democrats
should not have majority in the next con-
gress.
Col Lester says he has little doubt that
the democratic vote in this district will be
much larger in November than at the re-
cent election. II Is necessary that the full
democratic strength should be poled in No.
vember, he says. He places no confidence
in the report sent out from Atlanta that the
republican electors have positively repu-
diated the proposition to fuse with the third
psrtyites, and throw sheir strength to that
ticket, and thinks an attempt at fusion will
be made

The Columbus Celebration.

Cuestobol Colon, better known as Chris
topher Columbus, died without knowing
that he had discovered a new continent, and
Amerigo Vespucci had the honor Of having
the continent named for him. Columbus
thought the land he found was n part of
Asia and died in that belief It had long
been believed that by sailing westward
Cathay (Chtns) could he reached, but
it was to the persistency of Columbus
that tho two successful voyages across the
unknown ocean is due. For twelve years he
urged upon kings, queens and courtiers his
views, and doubtless was considered crank
by those who listened to his plans. At last
by chance he secured an audience with
Queen Isabella of Spain, and, TO make
long story short, discovered America IL was
Columbus nerve and persistency that made
him great. The rule of success In every
undertaking lies in the same direction.
Men who want everything TO come at
once don't succeed. 1t is the man Of nerve
who wins in the battle of life. For in
stance, those who buy farm lots at 1.-THE
Grange" will make money, and following
up that investment with others will get rich.

rs Twelfth Performance in tho Ssvan-
nah Theatsr Tomorrow Night.
Tomorrow night will witness the
twelfth e.formance of "Hazel Kirks" in
Savannah. Although It has undergone
various changes in its accessories the play
is still what it was when it was originally
produced at the Madison Square theater in
New York Etfie Ellslsr, who wes the ORR
ginator Of the part Hazel" is still playing
it, and C. w. Couldock, although over so
years old, is still playing the
stern old father. Frank Weston is the
same "Pitticus.n Besides these characters
there is additional interest in the play from
the fact that a Georgia actress, Miss Loula
Porter OF Atlanta, is IN the cast.
The singular sentiment which has always
hung to "Hazel I<irke" was what gave it the
extraordinary life that it has always had
but this is one instance at least where the
play does not transcend the actor. They
must be together. In their united strength
"Aazel Klrke" ran ia New York for more
than two seasons, summer aud winter, with
out interruption, and followed with two
equally successful years on the road,
making ono of the most extraordinary
successes in American dramatic history and
bringing more money and honor to its
author, Steele Msckaye. than any of his
subsequent aud more ambitious attempts.
Continuous playing of the same part,
however, resulted in nervous prostraiiou
and insomnia, aud Miss Ellsler was ordered
to change plays, otherwise she would proba>
bly, have played Hazel Kirks" every sea-
son until the present time and laid up an
immense fortune. After presenting "Wo-
man Against Woman "Egyps,n "Miss
Manning and 1.-THE Governess," Miss

PROGRESS OF TIE ARMoRY.

The Building TO Be One Of the hand
soonest in Savannah.
Rapid progress ia being made upon the
Guards new building. at Bull aud Charlton
streets. 1t was definitely decided last week
to complete the third story of the building
entire, interior as well as exterior. To
complete the interior will cost about az. 900
more than the FIRST cost estimated of the adj
diJional story. The total COST Of the addi-
tion of the third story will be about
$1,000.
The plans for the third story have bsen
received from the architect, Mr.. Preston
II Boston, and show that st will be u very
handsome piece Of work. The trimming
will he of red North Carolina sandstone.
The new building has now progressed to
such an extent as TO give some idea of its
appearance when 1t is completed. IL is
predicted already that it will be the hand
soonest public building in the city.
The walls OF the armory in the rear OF
the club room are complete and the roof is
now being put on. The drill tall, on the
second floor of the armory, will have high

the most solidly built buildings to be found
anywhere.

BAD ON THE HORSE MARKET.

Effect OF the Introduction of Electric
Railways in Place of Horse Car Lines
The introduction of electricity as mo-
tive power for street railways is affecting
the horse and mule common stock market
to a very apprecisble extent. It il affected
in two ways, the throwing upon it Of
thousands Of secondhand animals and the
removal OF the demand for furnishing
street railways with stock. Tne latter is
the most serious to many dealers, because
under the old style there was a steady de-
mand for animals, which Melted stsblemen
neat sums of money.
In Savannah the equipment of the Belt
Line with electricity threw upon the local
market about $50 head Of ordinary horses,
interfering with the stables sales for quite a
while and at the same time wiped out bus
iDess or supplying horses which meant hum
dreds OF dollars a year TO the dealers here.
The change of motive power on the Coast
Line and City and Suburban roads means
the dumping of at least $50 more head Of
horses and mules on the market, which will
lower the price Of common stock to a con-
siderable extent.
The effect upon the market in the larger
cities Is quite severe, as in most OF them
fairly high grade animals have been used in
the cars, and they can be sold for ordinary
work at much less figure than they could
he purchased from the dealers. There are
now 46O electric roads in the United States.
A well-known horse dealer estimates that
these roads have put an average of 1C0
horses and mules on the market TO compete
with tho traders, which shows the enormous
number Of 46 900 head of stock.
The horse dealers would not mind so much
having to stand the losses incurred by these
animals being put upon the market il the
demand for them, which used to bring in a
neat annual income, was not taken away at
the same time. The result will be that
prices for common stock will always
be kept down now because there will be
more supply than demand Street cars
used to keep things about oven, but the
march OF progress cannot be stopped by any
such considerations as these. Horse traders
will have to suffer while the people get the
comfort of improved street railway fscil-
tiles and rapid transit

A train on the Furness railway, England,
was moving along the other day when the
roadway began to sink. aud the engine men
barely had time TO jump before the engine
lay in hole thirty feet deep. A force was
set to work to remove the wreck and fill up
the hole when the ground was observed TO
be moving. and the men were hastily WITH
drawn, not any too soon, for the hole sud
denly deepened to about sixty feet, the en-
CINE falling with it and then gradually
going out of sight into the workings Of the
mine below. The gap had more than
doubled in size, and all Of the eight sets of
rails which cross the embankment were
either left hanging in the air or were
twisted into all sor is Of shapes. This ex-
traordinary occurr ence is explained by the
statement that the railway is built in that
locality over abandoned mines.
