SMALL HOUSES IN DEMAND. JlE.Vri'G SEASON IS ON AND AGENTS ARC KEPT 111 SY. The Chief Demand From the Rrnt iiijt I'luia l tor Houif* RanainK From S:Down. Those nt 1 2." and I,e* Helint In tireateat Favor, Pro vided the I.oeation He Satisfactory. ItentinK Agenta Have Hard Work This Hut Weather and They Would lake to See the Season Changed to some More Suitable Period of the Year. The renting season is now on in full blast. Oct. lis moving day in Savannah and preceding three months are devoteJ by tenants and agents in making ar rangements for the ensuing year. This is hard on both as it requires them to do their most important work during the hot test period of the year and at a time, 100, when many people are out of the city. This makes it necessary to do a great deal of work by correspond 'nee, which is not near so satisfactory as personal interviews and often leads to vexatious delays. Inquiry among the renting and real es tate agents shows that there is a very lively inquiry at present for houses. Many inquiries are being made in person and by letter and’the agents are very busy ex plaining the advantages of the various properties which (hey have to offer and arguing away the objections of applicants. Not many engagements have been made ' et, but the numerous inquiries show that considerable changing about is to be . xpected among the householders when moving day comes. We have had a very active demand for some time,” said a well-known agent to Morning News reporter. The demand chiefly for small houses, well located aid at reasonable rentals. This demand chiefly for houses from t 33 a month ~own, and the greatest demand is for he,uses at £ls a month and less. These houses; are wanted by people with small -lmllies. say from two to live members a family. There is a very considerable : umber of these houses offering, but the ■mand seems not to he equal to the sup s’. The number of new houses whie.i n-e been built this year does not seem , have affected) the demand in any way , ,;r is there any difficulty in renting tle rable property. "Large hour.es,” sold the agent, "are rot ouite so much in demand. "Aoont the only demand for houses bringing SSO to S6O a month is for hoarding houses and iMs demand is limited. Some of the Inrge houses are rented l in flats and for these there is a fair demand. Altogether the outlook is very satisfactory to us, though it will take otiother month to tell how we are coming out on the season. As the people who have been away from town tor the summer come hack home we be at closing up our contracts and we be gin to know how we stand. The number ..r' vacant houses aL present is compara tively small and 1 I think the same state ■f affairs will prevail here after Oct. 1. The demand appears to keep pace with the supply and As most of the building for this year is practically done I do net think there is any danger of landlords having unprofitable property, on their hands during the coming year." “'lncidentally,” remarked the asent. “\ou might suggest that moving day te ■hanged from Oct. 1 to Jan. 1 or May 1. it would he much tetter for everybody concerned. The agents could work with much more satisfaction during the winter String, and certainly the people who undergo the strain of house-hunting wcull find it much easier in ecu ler weath r tl an during the hot summer morphs. Savannah is, w added to her old customs, however, t t I hardly suppose it i- worth while to d.-truss the subject of a change." LIVE FISH 1A BOV’S THROAT. Ills Life Wn* in Bertl I'll til He Fin ally Swallowed It. From the Now York World. An incident peculiar in kind and for a time threatening fatal results befell yesterday the 3-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver W. Hubbard of Riverhead, L. I. He swallowed alive a small flat fish. which lodged in his throat. For two hours nil efforts to remove It proved fu tile. Meantime the boy was suffering excruciating pain and his parents were frantic with terror and grief. In one of the rooms of the Hubbard borne is a small glass aquarium, the particular delight of the little hoy. He was content, to watch for hours the tish swimming about. Mrs. Hubbard had fre quently seen him show a desire to put his chubby fist in the. water and play with the tish. She had always reproved him. He was yesterday in his favorite place by the glass globe when his mother left the room. During her absence he must have improved the opportunity to play With the fish. Mrs. Hubbard was first alarmed by the sound of the boy falling to the floor. When she entered the room the child's face was livid. She raised him in her arms and frantically sought for the cause of his condition. Her eries for help brought Mr. Hubbard. He opened the child’s mouth and was astounded to see the tail of a fish wriggling fur down the boy’s threat. He caught the tall be tween his fingers and strove to remove the fish. Its twisting und wriggling could bo plainly felt. But the scales and fins clung to the boy's throat when the fish was drawn back and Mr. Hubbard Instantly appreciated that his efforts to remove it were futile. Dr. A, E. Payne was summoned by messenger. He found the boy nearly unconscious from exhaustion, as the fish prevented breathing. Nearly two hours were repent in trying various means to withdraw the fish. All failed. Finally the bov was placed under the influence of chloroform and the fish was moved far enough to one side of hts throat to al low him to breathtj. As the hoy's strug gles ceased the fish was observed to bo slowly slipping down, and at last it was swallowed, t The patient's condblon was Improving last night, and he will recover. P. F.

Anew departure in electric railroading, i and one destined to have an important bearing on the future motor power, is about to go into operation between Albany and Hudson. New York. The total length of the road is nearly thirty-eight miles. New steel rails have been laid and the roadbed has been newly ballasted accord ing to the best modern practice for high speed service. The current is supplied hy a third rail, laid parallel to the other rails, similar to the third rail used in Brooklyn, and the power for operating the railroad is supplied from one power station and gen erated by water power. From that point it is transmitted at a pressure of 12,000 volts to sub-stations along the line of the railway. The construction of the road has cost $2,500,000. This is the largest third-rail eleetrical system in operation, and the first time the third rail has been used on a surface -railroad. The novel feature of this system, and that which railroad officials are most interested in. is the bringing together of the best elements of all electric Westerns. The earnings of tire Central of Georg'a Railway for the we k ending the first week of August were ft 10,793, agtinst 039 for the corresponding week last year, and $3,362,682 frem Jan. 1 to the end of tte first week of August against $3,'4!,'0! for the corresponding period in 1818. Mr. E. W. Smith, soliciting freight agnt at Savannah for the Ocean Slfamship Company, returned yesterday from a three-weeks' vacation spent in New York, Saratoga and elsewhere in the North.

Pantelegeff, who was second in command of the imperial gendarmie, was done by pricking his wrist with a poisonous scarfpin. Prince and Princess Apalinoff, who have been in Paris, passed through here to-day on their way to St. Petersburg, in order to give testimony at the investigation, as tehy saw’ the General die. • The General and an exceedingly good looking and well-dressed young stranger were seated opposite the Prince and Princess in the railroad carriage. AH four got into conversation during the cour.se of the journey. After it had be come dusk and before the lamps were lighted the stranger rose rather abruptly from his seat, and as he did so in some way pricked his neighbor’s wrist in micih n manner as to call forth an exclamation on the part of the General. The stranger was profuse in his apolo gies, and ascribed the prick to his scarf pin. which he had struck in his sleeve after using it to out the pages of a book. At the next stop of the train he alight ed and disappeared. An hour later, when another passenger entered and asked the General to move a little to one side, it was discovered that he was dead. It was •it first believed that the General had suc cumbed to heart failure, and it w-as not until the autopsy took place that the doc tors found, first of all. the mark of a pin or needle prick, the skin around it being black and “angry.” and subsequently dis covered traces of a very virulent poison, evidently communicated by means of the pin or needle. The Prince and Princess learned of the result of the autopsy while staying here at the Central Hotel early last week, and, remembering the incident of the pin prick, at once notified the Russian embassy here. Several arrests have been made in con nection with the crime, which Is ascribed to the anarchist movement in Russia, for anarchists and nihilists there are one and the same thing. Prince and Princess Apalinoff are need ed nt St. Petersburg to identify their fel low’ traveler, and, like the authorities here, they do not hesitate to express their perturbation at this new’and alarming form of anarchist assassination. For. while it may he iosrible to protect one’s self from bullets, knives and bombs, it is diffi cult. to ward off mere pin pricks of a deadly poisonous nature. y.Vlil HAS TWO WIVES. t nrlpr One Hoof, Hut One of Tltem Is Petrified.

Only within the past few days, however, have the people known of the strange contents of a box which has always been near the front window of the shop.
