From the Baltimore American.
a laughable incident occurred on North
Eutaw street yesterday afternoon which
afforded much amusement to the bystand-
ers but put the lady in very unpleasant
position.
At the Lexington Street market there
was a sale of small pigs She bought one
and placed it in a reticule. She thought
1t perfectly secure. In an unguarded mo-

jumped clear out of its prison and darted

peated attempts the rebellious pig was
finally secured, and, with flushed face and
soiled hands, the lady emerged a victori-

willink,s majority. Ga.


A majority in every district. u
A crushing defeat for one side, and a
complete victory for the other. The appeal
to the party appears to have been a mis-
take.
Yesterdays contest resulted in the cleo
ton Of Mr.. Harry Wnlink 70 the legisIa-
turo by a plurality Of 734, and a majority
OF Ga votes over both the other can
dldates.
It would require a very wide stretch
OF the Imagination to can the
election close. but it was one OF the most
holly contested that has ever occurred in
the county. It also exceeded all elections
OF the last several years in rowdiness and
disorder.
The scenes around the court house all
day long were simply disgraceful. Il was
Sufficient TO give the Citizens Club lead
ers all the evidence they want against
court house elections and primaries here
after. The district primary was a love
feast compared TO il. II was a hand-to-
hand fight between the gangs of heelers
OF the TWO factions. who thronged around
the polls.
Nearly fifty arrests were made, and
many more escaped. Many who would
have been arrested ordinarily were al
lowed 10 so because the police had their
hands fun In attending to more serious
cases The only good feature Of the all
day scrap was that the crowds fought
with natures weapons. and In no case was
there a knife OF pistol drawn, so far as
known.
The Hartridge people made hard fight,
but IL was evident that the odds We're
against them from the beginning The
Willlnk men took the lead when the
polls opened and kept it all day The
Hartridge leaders acknowledged at dinner
time that their opponents were considera-
bly, ahead. but expressed the belief that
the afternoon vote would be in their ia
vor II was seen by o'clock that this
was not the case, and the Hartridge lead
ers acknowledged 10 each other that their
candidate was defeated by probably 300 to
400 votes Neither side had any expecta-
ton Of the overwhelming majority obtain
ed by Mr. Wililnk.
The only explanation offered as to the
large majority is that many democrats.
who would have been favorable to Mr..
Hartridge's candidacy, voted for Mr.. VIII
link because they considered him the
nominee Of the party. The wiuink men
have claimed all along that the continued
agitation of the A. p. A. issue by Mr.
Hartridge's friends would react In their
favor and this seems to have been the
case.
The following table gives the result of
the election in detail:

a. p. A. INSTEAD or CITIZENS CLUB.
Against Which MIR. Adams Spoke nj
Masonic Hall


An-error occurred in the report of the
Hartridge rally In yesterdays Morning
News. Mr.. Samuel B. Adams. who was one
Of the principal speakers at the meeting
was quoted as saying that the A. p a is
sue in the campaign had been raised by
the leaders Of the Citizens club and that
the president and secretary of that club
had announced that they would down Mr.
Hartridge because he had married Cath
Ollie lady.
Mr. Adams had spoken Of the policy Of
the Citizens club and followed with q dis
cussion of the A. p. A.. in which he used
the expression several times of that or
ganizatiOn" and that club and his
charges We're made against the president
and secretary and the leaders of that or
ganiZation.
Mr.. Neeson. who was taking the report
for the Morning News and endeavoring TO
condense the speech into as short a space
is possible understood the Organization
referred TO bv Mr.. Adams to he the Citj-
zens Club In this he was in error. The
report not only did an injustice to Mr.
Adams, but to President Osborne and
other leaders of the Citizens club whom
it placed under the imputation of being in
active sympathy with the A. p. A. move
ment.
1t was unfortunate that the mistake
should have occurred just at the time il
did. on the morning of the election, when
there was no opportunity OF correction
In order that the earliest possible correc-
tion might be made Mr.. Neeson published
a card stating the facts as given above

The Lost Paradise" is a new play in
Savannah, though it is not new 10 many
Savannahians, who have seen IL else
where. 1t is one of Gustave FrOhmans
plays with Mr.. William Morris as the
star. The play is written by DeAIille. The
plot Is interesting A phase of the con-
hict between capital and labor is skii-
fully set forth, and the working out Of the
motive OF the play is cOntrived TO point
moral without offending either the work
man or the capitalist. ] n the play the
young superintendent Of the great iron
work, discovers that the works are found
ed on an invention of his own, for which
he never received credit or value, ana
that millions have been accumulated by
the proprietor. while he himself has re-
NAMED mere workman" He is in love
with the daughter of the master. but the
master leads her into an engagement with
the son and heir of his former partner,
who helped him fitch the invention, be-
cause he thinks IL necessary thus to Sc
cure himself In the course Of the play
the young superintendent destroys the
proofs Of his discovery as a sacrifice to
mis- love. ard by various dramatic ways
the lady and adorer finally become united
at the end Of the third act. Mr.. Morris
is sufficiently Of a character 10 make II
strikingly dramatic. He makes an i'm
pressive figure and carries the part with
power. Eta Hawkins, as "Cinders," is
beyond the ordinary. Altogether the play
is said TO have a strong presentation.

Destitute Condition of the Family of

Editor Morning News: The terrible ac-
cident yesterday which caused the death
of a fellow human being by being impaled
upon an iron spike. sent a thrill OF hor-
ror through our city. / have just returned
from officiating at his funeral-perhaps
one of the most pathetic in my ministry.
! wish, before the memory Of this sad
tragedy gives place to another, and our
sympathies grow cold, to call attention to
the absolutely destitute condition Of his
family. A wife and three children, one
only an infant at the breast, are left
without dollar in the world. We have so
many Christian and charitable women in
our churches-sO many circles of Kings
Daughters in our city-that it is only ne
cessary to name to them a worthy object
for their care and solicitude. Let me call
to their notice the sorrowing and desti-
tute family at IL Roberts street.
