TAKES TIME TO CONSIDER.
Lester VIII Communicate with His
Associates About Franchise.

1t is not known whether the street
railway franchise contemplated for the
Vernon Shell Road Company by the ordi-
nance that was put upon its first reading
at the meeting of Council. night before
last, will be accepted by Mr.. d. B. Les
ter, and the interests at the North that
he represents.
Mr.. Lester was seen yesterday about
the matter. He said that he could not
state what the action of the petitioners
might be. He will first have to commu-
nicate with those he represents and dis
cover what view may be taken by them of
the route that is offered and the condi-
tons that are imposed by the ordinance
The ordnance, Mr.. Lester admitted
freely, was not what the petitioners would
have liked. During the day, he said he
had been told by at least $50 persons whom
ne had met on the streets that they did
not believe he had been treated with due
consideration in the action upon his petit
tion' and that they considered the condl-
tons imposed as excessive.
Chief among the objections he holds 10
the ordinance as it reads, Mr.. Lester said.
is the route allowed and the practical
contscation of the portion of the Vernon
shell road near the city.

KEEP PULLING THE WIRES.
Politicians Making AIdermanic Life
n Busy One.

buSN one.
The politicians we're kept hustling yes
terday pulling wires for the election of
city officers tomorrow afternoon. There
was hardly an alderman who was not ap-
preached by some OF the candidates for
office, or their friends, and this will CON
tinue until the election. There may be
some material changes in the situation
during the day and in fact. indications
are that those on the inside will be able
to make up an accurate slate by tonight.
1t was intimated yesterday that the
withdrawal OF Senator Ferris Cam from
the night for the city attorneyship, not
only assured the election of Mr.. Adams.
but would cut quite figure I'm the mar
shalship contest. Ii was said that Major
Cams action might strengthen Candidate
Dreeson considerably. and that his chances
are far brighter tnan they were several
days ago. on the other hand, some of
those on the inside say that the fight
is really between Power and Creamer, and
If the latter does not win the present
encumbent will be elected. City Attorney
Adams is not only opposed by Mr.. Frank
Oliver, but by Mr.. W. II. Wade.
There appears to have been a change
in the situation in the race for recorder
and Hartridge stock has advanced sew
eral points. A telegram was received
during the day to the effect that Alder
man Haas would arrive in time for the
election, and he is counted on
by Judge Hartridges friends. The
other candidates are Shelby My
rick, Thomas L. Hill. G. +. Bev-
ans, L. NJ Norwood and Magistrate Mich
ael Naughtin. The race for clerk of the
City Market is still interesting and it
is a toss up to pick the winner The
friends of each of the candidates appear
thoroughly satisfied with the situation
it now is, although those on the out
side cannot see where any one of the
candidates has much the best of the fight.
There is strong opposition to Eugene NJ.
Baker for keeper of the city dispensary
The candidates are ]. f. Prather, Henry
Gallager, and l.. d. Strutton. Mr.
Prather's friends are making vigorous
canvass and claim that he will win. For
assistant keeper Edward j. Keiffer, Jr,
is opposed by r. L. Weed. This too
promises to be a close race. Mr.. I. u.
Kinsey is looked upon as a sure winner
for superintendent Of the waterworks,
while Mr.. Henry Garwes viii probably
succeed himself as keeper of Laurel
Grove Cemetery. The harbormastership
is considerably of an unknown quantity
yet.
To-day the wire pullers will get in their
finishing touches and the more prominent
candidates will be pushed to the front by
their supporters. 1t has been custom
airy for the Aldermen to caucus and name
the officers elected in public. 1t was
stated last night that this time the bal
lotiug will be in public, but the report
could not be verified, although 1t was
stated on good authority. II is known
that this mode of electing officers has
been adopted before, and should it be
on the programme, the long room will
not be able to accommodate the specta-
tors

NEW ORLEANS ADVANTAGES.
Over New York in the Sale of Cotton
Futures,

Representatives of New Orleans cotton
dealers are in Savannah for the purpose
of interesting the local trade in the ad-
vantages that market offers over New
York in the sale of futures. These con-
tracts are an important feature in the
cotton business, being employed extensive
ly by the trade in hedging their transac-
tons. To do this satisfactorily requires
some sort of parity between the spot and
speculative markets, which the trade SAYS
has not been the case in the New York
market for some time For this reason
the New York market has not been very
desirable to the trade for legitimate pur-
poses.
The visitors in Savannah in the interest
of New Orleans houses are Mr.. Charles
Beer of H. & D. Beer, Mr.. Sam Jones, Of
II. Abrahams & Co, and Mr.. Jules Cas-
sard, of A. Brittin q Co. They circu-
lated quite freely among the trade yes
terday, and discussed the advantages of
a change. Whether any move will be
made to divert local business to that mar
ket, remains to be seen. 1t is likely the
matter will be generally discussed, and
until this is done no concerted action 1s
apt to be taken

SHOT THROUGH THE HEAD.
Illness Caused August Gammert to
Attempt Suicide.

AiNeHlRt Sulct0es
August F. Gammert. aged rs years,
well-known cabinet maker, attempted sui
eide at noon yesterday, by shooting him
self through the head at his residence,
No. $40 Huntingdon street, east. The cat
was prompted by dependency the wound
ed man is at the Savannah Hospital, in a
critical condition, although there is a
chance for his recovery.
Mr.. ,Gammert was employed by the
Plant System, but has been in ill health
for the last four years. His malady is
acute kidney troubles and he has suffered
pain almost continually. He resided with
his son, Mr.. August F. Gammert, Jr.,
foreman of the cabinet-making depart
ment of the Central of Georgia Railway
Company.
Shortly before noon Mr.. Gammert was
down stairs, in his sons residence, talk
ing with his daughter-in-law. He stated
that he was suffering more pain than
usual, and that the end was very near at
hand. Mrs Gammert, Jr., endeavored to
discourage this thought. but the suffering
man started upstairs, declaring that the
last OF his affiiction was approaching fast.
A few moments laters Mrs. Gammert
heard a sound as if some one had fallen,
ana thinking tndt possibly her tatner-ln-
law had tainted, she ran upstairs She
tried his room door and found that it had
been locked on the inside. She could
distinctly hear Mr.. Gammert breathing
within, and was about to return down,
stairs, when she heard the ill man call
for his son.
The thoroughly frightened woman ran
to the nearest telephone and asked her
husband to come home Immediately. He
promptly answered the summons, and 20
minutes later broke open the door of his
fathers room. Mr.. Gammert was laying
on the floor, unconscious, with a stream
of blood flowing from wound in his
head A pistol with one chamber empty.
was found nearby, and the story was told
more aptly than words could have ex-
pressed The wounded man was uncon-
scious, and DR.. George L. Harmon was
telephoned. As soon as the physician had
seen the wounded man he ordered the
police ambulance and had him taken to
the Savannah Hospital for treatment. At
midnight Mr.. Gammert was resting quiet
ly, and there was chance for his recov-
cry.
Mr.. Gammert had been in the employ
of the Plant System for twenty-eight
years and was considered until his aff1c-
ton, one of the best cabinet workmen in
the city. He is we'll known and well
thought of in the section of the city in
which he lives.

NO KIDNAPPING ABOUT 1T.
Detectives Say Mrs. Mitchell Left
Her Home IntentinfIy.

The city detectives say that they are
taking no steps to locate Mrs. ]. j.
Mitchell and her 4-months-old babe, for
the reason that there was no kidnapping
and that they are thoroughly satisfied
that there is no longer any mystery con-
nected with the disappearance of the wo-
man and her child.
Detective julius Stark was the member
Of the force to whom Mitchell told most
Of his troubles and that officer says that
there is nothing in ID that would variant
him in trying to locate the missing wo-
man. Mitchell is employed by the Sea-
board Air Line at the terminals, and
works at night. The detectives say that
according to his story to them, the case
is very simple and that Mrs. Mitchell left
home of her own volition.
The officers have all along laughed at
che idea of kidnapping. and say that If
they cared to go to the expense of Iocat-
ing the woman they are sure they would
find her living in a state of perfect con-
tentment. lnasmuch as nothing criminal
has been done they are not disposed to
exert their energy In finding her Be
sides reporting the matter al police head
quarters, Mitchell told his troubles to So

Mr.. T. Mayhem Cunningham, Jr., chair

mittee of Chatham county said yesterday
that he would call a meeting of the board
within the next day or two for the pur-
pose of deciding whether a white primary

The Morning News stated yesterday
that there was talk of deciding the matter
in a\primary, and it would appear that
the fight viii be settled in this manner
Many leading politicians are in favor of
the plan, and it would not be surprising
IL such a step is taken.
Chairman Cunningham stated that If
two-thirds of the members of the Execu-
tive Committee express a desire for
white primary 1t would be called for abe
purpose Of putting Democratic nominee
in the field Mr.. Cunningham said that
on account of the short notice that would
be giveR he thought two-thrds of the
committee should have 10 agree upon the
plan. Those in favor of the primary plan,
and they appear to be in the majority,
say that the Executive Committee will
almost unanimously declare itself in ia
vor Of such action. If this should prove
to be the case two elections will have to
be held
The date of the election is not yet
known. Chairman Cunningham said that
while the committee would be called to-

what the date will be-

reasons for the announcement that Mr.

RICE ON HIS WAY HERE.
POrettO Doing Some Fine work
Training for the Fight.

A telegram from Fred Fox, manager of
Austin Rice, was receiced yesterday by
the manager of the AustraI Athletic Club,
stating that Rice and Fox would leave
New York yesterday for Savannah. Rice
was said to be in fine shape after the vic
tories he has won recently.
Pete PoretVe will meet Rice on Monday
night at the Theater. The featherweights
will go on for twenty-five rounds, and
the contest viii be refereed by Shorty
Jenkins. Poretto has been getting in
some great work in the training line
lately. Yesterday he met four men for a
little sparring practice. All of them are
bigger and heavier than he, one of them
nearly twice his weight but he had them
all gone within q short time after don
ming the mits. The sports like Poretto,
and if anything is offering on Rice when
the boys meet at the Theater, it is safe
to say that it will be covered.
Considerable interest has been aroused
in the fight. A letter was received yes
terday by the Pulaski House from a pont
in the middle section of the state saying
that a party desired to come down to see
the contest. 1t is believed there will be
a good one.
