COLUMBUS STREET RAILROADS.
The Two Properties Consolidated and
TO be Run by ElectricitY.

Columbus, Ga, Nov. 22-An important
railroad deal was completed here this af-
ternoon, which results in the consolida,
tion of the North Highlands Electric
Railroad Company and the Columbus
Street Railroad Company.
The latter company has recently effected
arrangements with wealthy northern
syndicate for a thorough equipment of
the horse car line and the dummy line to
wildwood with electricity, and it was
deemed best by the officials to have con-
solidation with the North Highlands
Electric line. Negotiations have been in
progress some time, but no agreement
could be reached until this afternoon
when the Columbus Street Railroad Com
pany assumed the bonds of the
North Highlands Electric line Sam
uel A. Carter, president of the
North Highlands line, resigned and John
f. Flournoy, president of the Street Rail-
way company, was elected president of the
North Highlands line, which viii mains
tain a separate organization, but will be
controlled by the Columbus Street Rail-
way Company. II is believed that the con-
solidation will be a great benefit to the
city and infinitely better for the stock
holders. The lines of both companies are
to be extended and Columbus will have
the largest and best equipped electric
railroad of any city of its size in the

osBoRNE's SUBSTITUTE.
The Bill Believed TO be Unconstitutional
on Its Face.

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 22-The Senate sub
stitute for the Rockwell bin, relating to the
election of city officers by the mayor and
aldermen OF Savannah. which was re-
ported in the House yesterday. still re-
mains upon the clerks desk. It was not
reached in the regular order to-day, and
neither Mr.. Rockwell nor Mr.. Screven,
the two members Of the delegation pres
ent to-day, saw fit to call il up. They may
have II taken up tomorrow, however, and
put uTcn its passage.
A comparison of the titles Of the origi-
nal bill and the Senate substitute shows
clearly that the substitute if passed. will
not have any effect 1t is Unconstitutional
on its face according to the opinions of
some Of the best lawyers in the legislature.
The constitution provides that no bill
shall contain subject matter that is not
outlined in the title and there shall not be
more than one subject matter embodied
in one bill. When the bill is a local one.
such as the Rockwell bill, the title must
be published and legal proof of the publi-
cation furnished the general assembly.
The title of the original bill in this case
as published simply provided for fixing the
time Of electing officers by the mayor
and council of the city of Savannah In
the Senate substitute the title not only
provides for fixing the time of the election
Of officers by the mayor and aldermen of
the city of Savannah, but also adds an ad-
ditional preface in the form of a provis-
ion to terminate the terms of office of the
officers now in office and those elected.
but not yet installed. There is hardly any
similarity between this bill and the substi-
tute, and if the case is made plain in the
House when it is asked to pass the latter,
1t is doubtful if it will go through.

Manager George +. Miles of the East

attention to the progress of the work of
cutting the canal through from the south
into Lake Worth to the north, which will

having built a charming waterway south
through rich hammocks and like game
country for forty miles, and affording not
only sportsmen "a paradise, but the brave
of the fair sex the opportunity of getting
a greater distance into the mysterious
depths OF the Everglades than has hereto,
fore been the pleasure of others to do
with the comforts TO be provided this
season. The opening OF the canal has
had a powerful influence upon the rich
country south of Palm Beach, for it has
been the means of giving settlers proof OF
an immediate opening of the Bscayne
Bay regions.
