THE STREET OARS-
SOMETHING DEFINITE SHOULD BE
DONE ABOUT THE MATTER.
The Proposition Submitted by the Owners
Should Be Acted Upon One Wey or Aw
other—Tbs Line Is a Necenlty to thl
City.
The people of Americui must take
some action In regard to the street rail
way aa the matter haa now become of
serious Import to the town.
The time of personal prejudice has
passed, and it now behooves every busi
ness man and property holder In tliecltj
to combine and give to the public by a
concerted action this necessary adjunct.
The street railway in itself represents a
foreign corporation, it is true, but it
seems to a close observer that the old
line may be bought and operated at a less
expense than the amount requisite
to destroy the present system and inau
gurate a new one. And In that connec
tion the Timks-Kecoimikii suggests that
for the time being 4I10 public bury all
all personal feeling in the matter and
co-operate for the general good.
The proposition made to the owners
after the receiver's sale will probably be
accepted if reiterated, and with careful
study it appears to be, for both sides,per
tectly fair.
The guarantee of (I per cent, interest
on the purchase price secures to the
bondholders a first-class income from
the investment, while the indemnity
from the damage suits promised them
makes of the stock a sure call.
There is no doubt that the owners
now see their mistako in not accopting
the first proposition made .them, as by
the letter quoted yesterday they now
are anxious to deal with our people on
the original terms.
Of course the appearances are now
against the spirit of good faith in which
they recently proposed to deal, but it
must be considered that the operation of
the line is a necessity, even if the terms
be not so advantageous as they might.
Cannot some good, conservative citi
zen go to work and secure the necessary
company which will operate the now
worse than useless line.
The spirit of the citizens, meeting
Tuesday evening was that the road be
operated or removed from the streets,
where, in its present hindering position,
it only amounts to an obstruction;

Conreld Opera company at the opera
bouse on Tuesday, November 10th.
This is one of last winter’s greatest

a big hit on it at the Casino in New
York. It is a thoroughly American play
and thoroughly excites an American's
interest.
Throughout the opera house there rune
the pathetlo strain:
"lam tbs unfortunate Jonathan,
Did you ever see a mors luckless man?"
A scene at West Point, New York, Is
presented, where a company of ohorus
girls dressed In cadet ^uniform appear.

A Qnssr Wedding Occurs To-Night—Ths
Groom 1M and tho Bride 70.
Atlanta, November 4 —The queerest
wedding that has ever been known will
take place to-night.
Hiram Lester, aged 134 years, and
Mrs. Mary E. Moseley, aged 70, will
unite their destinies.
If appears that the wedding will be for
the financial benefit of the old eonple.
and a charge of twenty-five cents will
be made to see the knot tied. It will
be a sort of marriage for the gate re
ceipt*.
But old Hiram says he loves his wrin
kled bride. He first met her when he
was an inmate of the poor-house at
McDonough, and she was the matron.
When the poor-house was changed in
to a farm, and Mrs. Moseley lost her Job,
old man Lester paid her regular visit*,
and has been paying her devoted atten
tion for ten years.
Hiram Lester is probably the oldest
man living in the world. A few months
ago the Journal published on account of
bis life and printed his picture. The
sketch was written by Dr. J. W. • Lee,
and for that reason be was asked to per
form the marriage ceremony, but be de
clined to help the “side" show.
Dr. L L. Gunter of Henry county has
consented to perform the ceremony,
which takes place to-night at 9 o’clock
in the Edgewood avenue theatre.
Hiram has Intimated that he intended
to kiss Mary smack in the mouth just as
soon as she is “all his’n.”
