Five car loads of steel rails for the Georgia Midland arrived yesterday. Killeen car loads are expected to arrive to-day.

Rink ft PI u n ile re rs Pulled. For some time the operatives ut the Muscogee in ills have been troubled by sneak thieves, who robbed their dinner buckets of their contents. Yesterday the police laid for the plunderers and captured four of them on Mott’s green. They be long to a gang of negro boys who prefer to make their living in this way than by the sweat of the brow. They were locked up and will no doubt be given a few months in another gang where work Is compulsory. A Niluleh Thief Night before last a negi Daniel's store, on Mercer fifty conts worth of meat.

It prefers to give its readers news that is reliable, and to keep them informed of all passing events. But those papers that are fond of sensations have had a regular picnic among the railroads within the last fe v days. They have transferred large corporations that it takes millions of dollars to control with a few scratches of a pencil. They have “scooped” up large railroads and have built competing lines with as much ease as if they were eating a good breakftist. True, this was done by wind, but it has answered the pur pose of the newspaper writer in search of a sensa tion. When some of our esteemed cotemporaries were devoting column aftei column to the Sa vannah, Dublin and Western short line, the En quirer-Sun stood alone, to all apperances, in the belief that the enterprise was not sufficiently backed up to culminate in a success. While we would have been glad to have seen the road a reality, our opinion, based on reliable Informa tion, was that it would fall through, and we did not desire to deceive the readers of this paper. It is some gratification to us that the Enquir er-Sun was the first paper to show the fallacy of the sensational rumors about the coop” of the Central railroad by the Louisville and Nashville. We were in possession of reports and rumors in* sufficient quantity to have filled several columns, all of which would have been interesting read ing, but would have been purely sensational. That is not what we want. The Enquirer-Sun must be reliable, even at the risk of being accus ed of a want of temerity. So far as the Louisville and Nasli\die railroad having gobbled up the Central, the papers are now letting themselves down easy. The Savan nah News, and it has not engaged in this sensa tional business, has this to say about it: “ The talk about Louisville and Nashville hav ing purchased a controlling interest in the stock is regarded as without any foundation, and that there will be a change in the management on September 1st assimply rot. A paper at Atlanta printed some such stuff yesterday, but ihe wild eyed reporter who wrote it and the credulous man who edited it can hardly know anything about the Central and its affairs. Even if the Louisville and Nashville had obtained a controll ing interest in the stock—and there is no reason to suppose that it has -it is not easy to see how there could be a change in the management of the road on September 1st, in view of the fact the election of officers does not take place until next January. “One of the best informed of the Central’s di rectors said yesterday that about the last tiling the Louisville and Nashville would be likely to do would be to obtain control of the Central. If New York is selling as reported, it is fair to pre sume that the entire upward movement in Cen tral’s stock has been caused by the purchase of shares by those who thought the stock about as go jd an investment as is otfered at the present time.” The Savannah Times also makes a few appro priate remarks for the occasion. We quote from it as follows: “The Atlanta Constitution reports the Central ‘scooped’ by the Louisville and NastniMe rail’ road, by purchase; delivery to be made inimedi ately, if not sooner; Atlanta to be vastly ben: - flted; Savannah to Ik? permitted to live awhile yet; no threat of cutting off this seaport from communication with the capital of the state. “This city may congratulate itself on the mug" naniinity of the Constitution, an Atlanta paper’ employing such fertility of brain to give such sen sational stuff to its people; our congratulations ought to take proper shape and culminate in either a leather medal or the head-gear of a new ly made Son of Malta, in the olden time, when he was requested to take a view ^sce himself us others see him, ) of his likeness. “The speculation in the stock is boiling down. Every one uses the phrase “I told you so.” The excited pulses will give way to healthy, regular j beats. Those who did uot sell will say “What a fool 1 was;” those who bought, ditto. The only parties to regret this state of affairs are the brokers, whose harvest seems about to close again | for awhile,” 'I'lie gentleman who sends specials from Bir- j minghani is preparing fora quiet fall, lie now . uses the word “if.” when a few days ago lie was i quite certain. This is his latest : “The Louisville and Nashville’s scoop of the | Gordon road which was projected to come cm to j Sheffield from Clarksville. Tenn., and reports of | a similar fate for the Georgia Central has sug- | Goodwater to Birmingham is being pushed with out any probability of suspending. The Enqui- rkh-Sun surmises that the real parties who ore trying to g»t n hold on the Central are the men interested in the railroad from Kansas City to Memphis.” The Enquirer-Sun has no idea that the men interested in the railroad from Kaunas City to Memphis, deniie to get control of the Central. The idea that we intended to convey was that the Kansas City and Memphis peop^kare so deeply interested in the extension of tire Colum bus and Western to Birmingham that they would not allow it to pass into hands inimicablc to their interest. They are sufficiently strong tc gobble up even the Louisville and Nashville if it should be to their interest to do so. In order to protect themselves they would get control of the Central, but that they desire to do this there is no reason to believe. We repeat that when the Central railroad has a change in its management, it will not pass into the hands of tlie Louisville and Nashville. But if by any unforsee# circumstances it should do so, General E. P. Alexander will not be the president jpfit. dry town and many puna and jokes were gotten off* on that account, but as our reporter said yes terday morning, Columbus never gets left. There was not a drop of liquor of any kind carried down, but in his generous liberality and thoughtfulness, Mr. E. M. Walsh had a supply of beer on ice, and many of bis friends enjoyed the treat. Ed always shows up just at the right time. LOCAL LACONICS. BIRMINGHAM’S BIG BOOM. A ColumlHisite Takes In the Magic City—How a Party of Columbus Buyers Pursued n Real Estate Agent—Buying and Selling oil Margins and Getting Rich. gested U probable minghai road. Col.Ei y that the same thing is ; for the Sheffield and Bir- )ch Ensley, who is largely interested in the construction company which is t*» build that road, says it is absolutely out of danger of a scoop or stoppage and wiP be pushed through to Birmingham as fast as possi ble to do the work, regardless of outside deals. Better opinion in industrial and railroad circles here is that if the Louisville and Nashville really gets control of the Georgia Central and stops the Goodwater extension to this city, the Kansas City company will combine v itli some body to put an indej^udent line through to Savannah.’ In the Montgomery Advertiser of yesterday we find the following: “The Courier-Journal after an interview with Mr. Quarrier, one of the chief officials of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, denied in the most emphatic terms that that road had any thing to do with the purchase of Central railrc ad stock, or was * all trying to secure control of the road. This seemed sufficient to satisfy the most doubting that other interests than the Louisville and Nashville “How is Birmingham’s boom?” asked an En quirer-Sun reporter yesterday of a Columbus man who had just returned from there. “Why, those people are crazy over there,” re plied the gentleman. “Why, I couldn’t buy a spot big enough to bury myself on for less than two or three thousand dollars. I stood on a lot while there that they say had just s» Id for $1000 a front foot. Visitors are coining into the town on every train and many of them are buying real estate, but a number of them turn it loose as soon as they are offered a good margin. I never in vested a dollar. Everything was too high for me. I don’t think such prices will hold good. To pay an enormous sum fora desirable lot and put a respectable building on it would cost so much money that Ido not know how it could be used so as to pay a decent interest on the investment.” “What are the Columbus people doing over there ?” “ Well, I can tell you a good one on three or four Columbus fellows. They got up bright and early the next morning after reaching there, and look a start for a real estate agent. They had a guide, as it were, and the first real estate agent who made his appearance was pointed out to them. They all rushed hurriedly toward him at once, and acted in such an excited manner that the man thought they were crazy. He could not answer questions for them fast enough, and finally, after he had found time to price them a lot, they began to bid against each other like a lot of excited men at an auction. The real estate agent finally became so frustrated that he ran out. of his office down the street, followed by the Co lumbus party, each one shouting his offer at the top of his voice. The citizens saw the excite ment and were perfectly confounded. The agent was so closely pursued that he had to appeal to the police for protection, and all of the Columbus fellows were arrested and locked up. When it was finally understood that the Columbus party simply wanted to ride on the Birmingham boom they were released from custody and allowed to return to their hotel. Later in the day they ventured out again and quietly made their pur chases, and before niglit every one of them was immensely rich. Six drinks of Birmingham whisky will make anybody rich, but I don’t mean to say they got rich in that way.” “Do you expect me or anybody else to believe that story?” asked the reporter. “I don’t care whether you do or not It’s vouched for by good authority. Two of the party are still in Birmingham. One of them lias in vested all his money and is now speculating on margins. He buys in tlie morning and sells in the evening, and without a cent, pockets his thousands of profits every day. He left here less than a week ago, and now he’s a rich man. If he comes buck here at all it will be simply to let his friends know how rich he is.” “Would you mind telling who he is?” queried the reporter. “I don’t care to give him away. You will know iu time. He left here the first of the week. There were three in the party. One of them stayed only a day. Two of them are there yet. The one who is buying and selling on margins left here with his buggage wrapped up in a news-, paper. Now it would take a trunk to hold his greenbacks. It’s a regular bonanza if you only strike it right. Some people don’t strike it right, but this Columbus man has got the nerve and push, as is shown by the way he tackled that real estate agent the first morning after he got there, lie’s been striking it right ever since, and he’s kept busy pocketing his margins.” “So you must think Birmingham is the place to make money?” “Undoubtedly fi me people make money there, but the fabulous success ol this particular Colum bus man is not the historj of every man who goes there by any means. He has fallen into an ex- ceptionably rich vein, and he’s got the nerve to work it. J ’ll bet you that before a week you will be reading in the papers about ‘The Money King of the South;’ ‘Remarkable Story of How a Co lumbus Man Struck It Rich by Speculating in Birmingham Dirt.’ ” ihi: shall gi n club. |’|u« Columbus Gun Clubs Acknowledge tin* Royal Maimer in Which They Were Treated—Card of Thanks From BoJi.Clubs. The Columbus boys and all who went down to Seale from Columbus on Thursday were loud in their praise of the hospitality they received. Yesterday they were busily engaged in trying to make those who didn’t go feel bad by telling them what they missed. The gun clubs have acknowledged their thanks for the royal treat ment received. The Columbus gun clubs yester day mailed the president o; the Seale club the following: Columbus, Ga., August 27.—To Ben Jennings. K«q., President Seale Gun Club, and Gentlemen of the Club: In behalf of the Columbus Gun Club, we desire to extend to you our hearty thanks for your courteous welcome and hospita ble attention to our Club while with you.

The trading in Central stock ipondent of the Augusta Chronicle under j Jttth of August will remain as a'red-letter day date of the 24th telegraphed as follows: “Information held in railroad circles here leaves littl^ doubt that the Louisville and Nash ville railroad will take charge of the affairs of the Central railroad and begin to direct its manage ment and policy at an early day—perhaps by Sep tember 1. There is no longer any doubt that the majority of the stock is owned by the Louisville and Nashville road, and it is said here that President Raoul and the other officials will be displaced at no distant day. “The Chronicle knocks part of the dispatch in the head by saying; “ ‘Our correspondent may be correct in his in formation, but no change can be made until alter the annual election in January, and President Raoul and his efficient corps of assistants will hold the reins luitil that time under any condi tion of affairs.’* The Advertiser also publishes the following, and we reproduce it in order to correct the wrong impression which our remarks appear to have made: \ “The Columbus Enquirer-Sun of yesterday prints an interview with Superintendent Clark, who says if there is any truth in the rumor that the Louisville and Nashville will scoop the Cen tral, he hat had no hint of it.

With balls, ' ’ , bats or baloons, we are always ready to meet you in friendly contest, but when barbecues are mentioned we most cheerfully yield the palm to you, and again thank you most heartily for your graceful welcome to us and promise that whenever the Seale Gun Club ex tends its invitation again we will be with you.

Poe. aug25 dtd wlm Mutual Life Pollute* Attain, A short time ago Mr. William Heath, of Lake- wood. N. J., died. Many years ago he took out two policies of insurance in The Mutual Life In surance Company of New York, one for $15,000 and the other for $5000. When these claims were settled the company paid $24,733, the $1733 being a portion of the dividends which Mr. Heath had allowed to remain unused. The total premiums paid amounted to $6139.89, so that the company returned $18,953.11 more than he had paid in, or $1.04 for every dollar invested. This is only one of the thousands of illustrations of the advantage of selecting The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, which is the largest and strongest company in the world, and which, by strict econ omy of management, is enabled to make better returns to its policy-holders than any other com pany.--Atlantic City Review.
