There is a strong movement among the
railroad postal clerks to induce the govern
ment to provide them with safer cars than
they are now obliged to use. In an ecci-
dent of any moment nowadays the mail
oars, being always next to the locomotives,
are in nine cases out of ten broken into
splinters. The result is the injuring or kill
ing of postal clerk or two. An example
OF the dangers Of mail clerks is found in
the recent wreck on the Alabama West
ern road near Opelika. The clerks
want more protection in better cars.
The situation of the postal car next
to the engine or baggage car exposes its in
mates to the greatest danger of any persons
on the train. When sleeping cars 90
through collisions and the occupants ESCAPE
all injury the postal clerks argue that the
car in which they work ought to be made as
safe as the sleepers. The clerks ask that the
cars they occupy shall be made of material
that will not splinter in slight crash and
then burn them TO death. The clerks are IN
the right,and by all means they should have
all the protection it is possible to give them
In stronger and better cars. There is
scarcely wreck on a through train but
what one, two or more clerks are injured
or killed and roasted

BRATION TO TAKE PLACE TO-DAY.

The Observance Tomorrow to Pc
General in ssvannsh-The Public
Ofnces, Exchanges, and Banks to
BE Closed - The Closing of the
Schools the Reason for Changing
the Childrens Celebration.
Columbus day will be observed in Savannah
as q national holiday. The proclamation f
the President, issued in July, but to which
little attention was paid at the time, settles
this point with the business men and makes
It possible for the business men to observe
the day, as most of them will
Savannah will observe the holiday as
public holidays are usually observed here.
The custom house, postofhce and
other federal offices will be
closed as usual upon holidays.
The banks will be closed for the day, fol-
lowing the example Of the New York Clear
ing House Association, which has resolved
TO observe the day, and most Of the bust
ness houses will close for the entire day or a
portion OF it The day will be very quietly
spent.
The only public observance will be the
banquet In honor of Columbus at the De
Soto at night 1t promises TO be most
interesting affair. There will be about 100
guests present. Speeches wifi be made by
Col. Rufus e. Lester P. J. O'Connor, ESQ.
Col. George A. Mercer. Hon. w G. Charlton,
Maj. p. w. Meldrim, j. r. Saussy, Esq,
Gazaway Hartridge and Pleasant A. Sto-
vail Col. Peter Reilly will preside at the
banquet as chairman.
Being a national holiday, the schools will
be closed. On this account it was decided
70 hold the observances ia honor Of Column
bus in the schools to-day. The children Of
the grammar schools will reoite their regu-
lar lessons until 1890 o'clock to-day. when
they will gather in the larger class
rooms and programmes of music
and recitatious bearing upon the
subject of Columbus and his discovery of
America viii be rendered by the larger
pupils.
At the high school the pupils will gather
In Hunter hall at l o'clock. The exercises
will consist of a debate between three boys
selected from the Mercer Debating Society
upon the subject of Columbus discovery
and essays by three young ladies OF the
Arnold Society upon the same subject. The
programme in all the schools will be very
simple.
Miss Muslin, principal of the Henry
Street school has arranged
an entertaining programme for
Cathedral and st. Patrlck's schools may be
a little more elaborate than in the other
schools.
The partial eclipse Of the sun, which will
occur at the same time with the school cele-
brations, viii make q fitting conclusion to
the programme. 1t will be remembered as
an historical fact that Columbus used an
eclipse which occurred on one OF his trips to
America to work upon the superstition Of
the natives, and by this means secured obedl-
ence TO his commands.

TIE OUTLOOK BRIGHT.
Congressman Lester Finds Things All
Right in the First.


Congressman Lester retur ned yesterday
from trip through the First district. He
regards the outlook very encouraging for
democratic success.
The third party people, he says, in some
sections are not as enthusiastic as they were
before the state election, but in other por
rlons of the district they are hotter. A new
third party paper made its appearance day
before yesterday at Swainsboro, in Eman-
uel county, but Congressman Lester be-
lieves ii is little late in the field, and its
mission to carry Emanuel county for Kemp
will fall flat. He thinks the nomination of
Pleasant by the republicans will have
dampening effect upon the ardor Of the
third partyites, as they were counting
strongly on drawing the solid republican
support to Kemp.
Col. Lester would not be surprised to see
Pleasant poll larger vote In the district
than the third party polls. He thinks there
is some mistake about the failure of Eman-
uel and Bulloch counties to send In the re-
turns for the election OF senator and repre-
sentatives, and 10 inclined to the belief that
they are sealed together with the returns
for governor and state house officers, which
the MORNING NEWS dispatches state have
already been received at the capitol. II
such is the case, though, the legislators from
Emanuel and Bulloch cannot take part in
opening the session OF the general assembly,
as that body has to canvass the returns.
Congressman Lester has written letters of
inquiry to Emanuel and Bulloch counties
about the matter and expects to receive
answers to-day or tomorrow

UNCONSCIOUS IN THE ROAD.
Fairfield Man Found Lying by His Dead
Horse.
Especial to the Press.1


WATERvmLE, April 17.-About ten
o'clock last night man named John
York of Fairfield was discovered beside
the road near Crommetts mills, lying
face downward, where he had been
thrown from his carriage. His horse lay
dead beside him. The police were noti-
fed and the man was carried to the po-
lice station. Drs. Goodrich and Fortier
were called. They washed and dressed
his wounds and sewed up the gashes in
his face, which was mutilated badly,
his nose being broken, his lips and fore
head scraped and torn and his skull
fractured. He remained in a semi
conscious condition all night. This
morning he was removed to his house in
Fairfield. The doctors think the chances
are about even for his recovery.
The probability is that while being
rapidly driven, the horse ran plump
headforemost into an electric light pole,
breaking his neck and sending the driver
several yards out onto the gravel walk.
where he landed on his head and should
ers.
The horse, valued at about 5000, be-
longed to Chief of Police H. @. Hight of
Fairfield. Mr.. Hight thinks there is no
doubt that the city will make good his
loss as the pole in question stands sew
eral yards inside the highway limits.
