Preparations llolmr Made for Its Immediate Erection—A Fair to he Given by the Ladies. Active steps are now being taken toward build ing the new Jewish synagogue. The contract, we understand, has been let for erecting the building, the lot is being cleared preparatory to laying the foundation and tho material is being put on the ground. A large portion of the funds to pay for the building has been raised, arid the ladies of the congregation have charge fthe ways and means for raising tho balance. They contemplate giving a fair in a few weeks for the purpose of augmenting the fluid for building the synagogue, and we bespeak for them the abund ant success such a laudable move desorv s. The new synagogue will he an ornament to the city, and all should do something to aid in its con struction. NEW POSTIL ORDERS. Facilitating Delivery of Mail Matter on which Postage is Due. Postmaster-General Viias 1ms issued an order changing the regulations in regard to the treat ment ot insufficiently paid mail matter so as to secure a prompt transmission of such matter to the addressee. Under the former regulation all mail matter held for postage was required to be sent to the dead letter office unless it had upon it the name of the sender, in which case it was to be returned to him for the payment of postage due. An ex ception to this rule was made in case of free de- livery post offices, the postmasters at which were required to notify the addressee of detention of matter on account of insufficient postage, and to request them to remit the amount of postage clue them in order to have the matter forwarded to its destination. The order of Postmaster General Vilas requires every postmaster in the United States to notify the addressee of matter held for postage, and no such matter is to be sent to the dead letter office until after it has been lieid long enough for a re ply to the request for additional postage, not to exceed two weeks, except when directed to very remote places in the United States, when it may be held for four weeks. Notice of detention, however, is not to he sent to the addresses of property held for postage which is directed to foreign countries, but if the name of sender be unknown, it should he at once sent to the dead letter office. The latter provision applies chiefly to corre spondence addressed to countries outside of the postal union, since within the postal union pre payment of letters is optional, aud other mailable matter only partially prepaid is forwavded and double the deficiency in postage collected by the country of destination. local lIconics. —Indications for Georgia: Local rains, north erly winds and cooler. —Columbus will send a good delegation to the state fairnt Macon this week. —Within the next few weeks several marriages will take place in Columbus. —It looked very much like rain yesterday after noon.

The May to do When Visiting a Theatre in Order to lie Known us a Veteran Goer. The latest rules adopted by theatre goers by mutual agreement areas follows: Always go late. Saunter slowly down the aisle. Make as much noise as possible taking seat. Raise your hand and beckon to usher for pro gam mo. When you get it attract attention by the way it is flourish ed before looking at it. At first be inclined to sneer and jeer at the plav, and whisper “chestnut” or cocoanut in an audible voice. When the curtain goes down on the first act and great applause follows, get up and go out, apparently disgusted. Return in the middle of the second act and smile when ntl those who have to get up to let you pass grumble. Ask some one if you have lost anything by not seeing the first part of the second act, and if so, what was it in detail. At the end of the second act yell bravo! and make n demonstration of applause that will deafen everybody around you and bring the actors before the curtain. Don’t go out between the second and third acts, but remain and bore everybody in hearing by making a gushing criticism of the fine points made by the actors who won your hearty appro bation. Work your opera gloss to its fullest capacity during the third act and applaud vigorously every fine point made by your favorite actor, even if it mars a pathetic scene. Go out between the third and fourth acts with a great deal of hustle and assurance, and come in after the curtain has gone up, with the unmis takable smell of liquid refreshment upon you and a hilarious disposition to be prodigal with ap plause. Be sure and leave before the last act is over, just as the hero is dying and speaking in a low, tremolo voice, and don’t neglect to snap your opera glasses in casing them, and stumble over the knees of those who ignbrautly desire to see the curtain go down RUMORS ABOUT THE CENTRAL. Heavy Purchases of Stock. Supposed to he in the Richmond mid Danville Interest. A special from Savannah to the New York Herald, under date of October 22, says: “It is learned here to-night on the very highest authority that recent heavy purchases of Georgia Central railroad stock, with voting proxies for New York account, are in the interest of a move ment on the part of the Richmond and Danville system to sec me control of the Central at the meeting of the stockholders of [he road on the first Monday in January. The Central rood com prises 2300 miles of track in Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina, with steamship lines lVom this port to New York and Philadelphia. Despite John II. Inman’s qualified denial, it is generally believed here that he is tho controlling spirit in the movement. “General E. P. Alexander, now in Nqw York and once president of the Central system, it is asserted, will he pushed by the Richmond and Danville interest for the presidency of the Cen tral. Mr. Inman is heavily interested in the Richmond aud Danville and is said to have in? creased his holding at least $1,000,000 within the past twelve months. The Central has tapned five of the most prominent points of the Rich mond aud Danville system in the finest part of the South Caroline cotton holt. This has, of course, greatly reduced their business from that source, and it is to overcome this and airy flirt her encroftchmeht that the present fight is made to secure the Central. “It is reported here that recent purchases at New York in tho Inman interest aggregate in the neighborhood of eighteen thousand shares, and it is believed that General Alexander will be able through personal friends to control at the coming meeting sufficient shares to insure his election. The Inman interest, however, have s.j far been unable to secure control of 6100 shares held by .Mrs. Hettie Green, and this block is ex pected to play an important part in the struggle. “Savannah business men are awakening to the fact that Mv. Inman’s interest will he all in the direction of turning traffic over the Richmond and Danville instead of the Central, and to Nor folk as against Savannah, and on this account the opposition to the contemplated coup is ex pected to become more determined from this time on. “The heavy buying advanced Georgia Central stock from 60 to 107 in the past three months, the stock closing to-day at par.” HOME INTERESTING REMINISCENCES. An Old Gentleman from a Neighboring Village Talk* AbouMillie Earthquake of lHIt—The Growlh of Columbus. While passing on the west side of Broad street yesterday we. were cheerily greeted by Uncle Billy, seated in a comfortable chair on the pave ment fronting a corner store. A vacant seat be ing near by, we paused to chat a bit with the old ge’ tleman. We talk with the aged because they are fond of telling about the long ago, and we delight in listening to a relation of t heir reminiscences. Uncle Billy was horn in 1802, hut is yet full of that vivacity and sprightliness which comes of I good health and contentment. H> noiv resides | in a neighboring village, hut lived in ihis town j when it was lai* 1 out. He was 9 years of age, j and resided near Katonton, Geor- j gia, when the earthquake of 1811 i agitated this section of our hemisphere and j aroused the pioneers of this region from their slumbering couches. His mother, in common | with most persons of that era, thought the shak- i ing was premonitory of the end of the world and j the comingjudgment, and her devout soul was stirred to its deepest depths. His father was not so demonstrative in his apprehensions, yet he wore an expression of deep concern. Uncle Bil lie, though then but nine years of age, well re members how the dishes rattled in the three- cornered cupboard, which at that date comprised one of the articles of dining-room furniture in every provident household. Some years after the event, and when he was 16 years of age he moved into east Tennessee, where he resided for a period. There he saw numerous evidences of the violent and destructive work of the earth quake. Acres of land had been, in places, sunk en far below their original altitude and the great forest trees which had stood*upon the surface of the sunken areas had died from the effects of the shock and were then in a* state of decay. But the region of greatest violence was along the Mississippi in the state of Louisiana. In places the channel of that great river was completely changed and ponds ai\d bayous were made where none existed before and many of those then in existence Were emptied of their waters. The shocks continued for some period afterward. It is not often we meet up with one whose age and recollection carries him back through a period of two such notable events in earl li dis turbances as the one of recent date and the one of 1811. This section of our state, however, can boast oi as great a number of octogenarians as any other part of t#ie habitable earth. We were satisfied before leaving Uncle Billie, as we young er folks familiarly call him, that contentment of mind and freedom from worry had much to do with his uninterrupted good health in his ex treme old age. He visits Columbus once a year and spends several days looking around and seeing old ac quaintances. He also visits other cities in our state. He says that he notices in Columbus more evidences of solid improvement than in any other place. Coming as he does, only at intervals, the changes taking place are more striking to him than to one who sees the city every day. Late Peaches. We received yesterday from J. J. Wood a bag of late peaches, which usually ripen about the ltfth of November, that were grown in his yard. They are a late variety, and were planted to take the place of other shade trees. The peaches when flilly ripe are of an excel lent flavor, and come at a season when such fruit is not to be had except by t hose who i aise it. Going to the Grand Lodge. The Grand Lodge of Masons meet at Macon to-day. Quite a mini her of Masons passed through I Columbus yesterday en route to that city. Among | those whom we noticed were Capt. L. L. Stan- ! ford, of Hamilton; Mr. Geo. Oglctree, ofKivlin > lodge; Mr. A. J. Floyd, of Kimbrough lodge; Mr. Wright, of Troup factory 4 Capt. A. J. Tucker, i ofChipley; Mr. Hudson, of Meriwether county, 1 and Mr. Gillis, of Stewart county. Dr. T. J. S. Kimbrough, of Columbian lodge, Mr. A. M. El- , ledge, of Mt. Herman lodge, and Judge F. M. Broods, chairman of the committee 011 work, will I represent the Columbus Masons. Personal. Major J. A. Shingfeur left for Jackson, Miss., yesterday. Mrs. Reese Crawford left for Birmingham yesterday. • Mr. J. L. Dennis, editor of the Hamilton Jour nal, was in the city yesterday. Col. W. T. Revill, editor of the Meriwether Vindicator, was in the city yesterday. Miss Jessie Cranberry, of Seale, is visiting the city, the guest of Mrs. Eugene Cranberry. Miss Minnie Sheppard, who has been visiting Miss Maggie Cook, left yesterday for Macon to at tend the state fair. Miss Susie and Genie Campbell, of Chaleybeate Springs, are visiting the city, the guests of Mrs. J. A Walker. Miss Dovie Seay, qf the White Sulphur Springs, who has been visiting Mrs. Catherine McArdle in this city, left for home yesterday. Mr. J. II. Gautier, who has been reading medi cine under his brother, Dr. Gautier, in this city, left yesterday to attend a course of lectures in the medical department of the University of Louisville. His many friends here wish him success. Michael Strogoff To-Night. The “Michael StrogotF” company will appear at Springer opera house to-hight. A large audi ence will be out to greet them. The Russian drama of “Michael Strogoff,” which enlists the natural synmathies of the Sclavonic race and gives it a special interest with the ruling power of that ( moire, is one of the most romantic eDi- sodes in the recent history of the czars, and is j the foundation'for the famous romance in which j the name of Michael Strogoff is one of the most ! conspicuous features. Either as fiction or fact it I serves ns a basis for a succession of j adventures which have been intimately connect ed with modern Russian history, and are pic turesquely employed to illustrate one of the mod ern incidents of Russian romance. On the stage it has been somewhat variously treated, accord ing to the florid fancies of those engaged in its stage illustration. The substantial incidents of the romance are alike, but materially differ in their mode of histrionic presentation. * The play as presented by Hav<?rly’s Michael Strogoff Com pany discards to an extent the imaginary illus tration which involves a multitudinous display of the teipiscliorian ait, and is more literal in its treatment. Havcrly lias a large and efficient dramatic company, and carries uelirly two car loads of scenery, while many gorgeous and char acteristic costumes are worn by the artists en gaged in this mammoth production.
