AFTER IT HAPPENED
Remarkable Post Election
Day in Newport News.

cat Mites.

esterday was probably the most re-
iharkable day after election on re-
eorn IN this city. There was actually ;,
ieaith or the usual political gossip and
conjecture Men talked business dis
G 1l reiigion. theorized regarding the
teresa argued distractions and other
wise conducted themselves in 2 most
unusually usual manner. Occasionally
one would hear something about Inc
erection. but. as rule. it came from
those individuals who lived in Il polit
lcat atmosphere and ,puld not .Sist
happily outside of it.
Hut. wlthal. there was reason for this
apparent lack of interest Locally
everything turned out exactly as every
one knew it would. The result had been
discussed so long and so often before it
was a result. that there was nthing left
!" talk about when it all happened. The
return of Billy Young to Congress was
the most matter-of-fact piece of bust
ness that the voters of the Second dis
trlct ever politically did.
In the case of New York the election
OF Roosevelt was conceded early in The
evening The Republicans expected it,
and the Democrats did not know wha,
to expect. After it was given up that
van Wyck had been beaten, the sub
]ect ceased to be an interesting one to
the Democrats. and they let the subject
alone.
There is one interesting feature of
the local situation. and that is thar all
parties are more or less satisfied. That
is to say. the Democrats are more. sat
lsfled and the two Republican factions
less. Still they are deriving considera-
Die consolation in their own peculiar
way. The Wise men are inclined to be
jubilant because they practically
doubled UP on the Holland side in the
matter Of votes. The other faction
rather pluncs itself in accomplishing
the Doctors defeat. in spite of the fact
that Young has safe majority over
both. The word SAFE is used With the
understanding, of course that the
Congressman should meet with fair
treatment when he reached Washing
ton. ...
There We're bets made in this city and
they will not break the losers. At the
hat stores there was some picking up in
business. but there was no great drain
on bank deposits.
The Board OF Election Commissioners
will meet in the Corporation Court
clerks office at noon today to canvass
the vote.

Facts About Newport News Bakery ana
Confectionery Company.
The modern bakery. confectionery
store, candy mandatory and ice cream
plant of the Newport News Bakery and
Confectionery Company. at the corner
of Thirty-first street and Washington
is a credit to Newport News. The
company began business here in
March. 1897. in the Finch building on
Washington avenue. between Thir
tieth and Thirty-tirst streets. Its
trade increased so rapidly that these
quarters soon became Inadequate. and
on July II. 1898. the company moved its
stock and equipment to the handsome
new three-story brick building at the
corner of Thirtyfirst street. The
building was constructed specially for
the concern and is admirably adapted
conducted through the establishment
yesterday afternoon was impressed with
its fine facilities. The lower floor. or
basement. is set apart for the ice cream
department. which has q capacity of
200 gallons of cream a day. The cream
is made for the wholesale and retail
trade. and in the summer is handled
by all the leading druggists of New
port News at their soda fountains.
On the next floor, above the ice cream
department, is located the bakery.
This is equipped with an immense brick
oven. having a capacity of 5000 loaves
of bread a day. a large force Of skill
ed hands is kept continually busy, night
and day in this department These men
make tons of the genuine Vienna bread
which is enjoyed in so many of the
homes in Newport News. On the same
floor. fronting on Washington avenue,
are the ice cream parlors and confec-
tionery store of the company, which
is the largest in the city. Every variety
OF the choicest candy and pastry, made
fresh every day. is kept in this de-
partment. .M
On the third floor above the bakery,
is the candy mandatory. This has a
capacity of 1000 pounds of candy day.
The homemade candies ana peanut
brittle manufactured by the company
have large sale They are made fresh
every day and their flavor would tickle
the palate of the most fastiGious cpl
cure The candy manufactured by the
company is sold in large quantities to
dealers in and out Of Newport News.
One noticeable feature about the en-
tire establishment is the perfect clean
illness of every branch and every utensil
used. Mr.. c. F. w. Bornmann, the pro-
prietor, is an expert baker OF twenty
years experience, and gives his per-
sonal attention to the various depart
ments of the business.
Either large or small orders are de-
livered to any part of the city by the
companys wagons. which are in charge
of polite and courteous drivers.
