He then addressed the stockholders, stating that he desired to say a few words in con nection with his annual report, copies of which were on the table for the use of the members. It had not been customary with him to make any remarks on the pre sentation of his annual report, but on this occasion something was required.

Grand Display of Holiday Presents. We have casually' remarked heretofore that the display of rare and beautiful goods at the extensive jewelyr emporium of Mr. S. P. Hamilton this season, eclipsed in bril liancy any similar stock ever exhibited in Savannah. It Is acknowleged b3' strangers that this establishment compares in point of attractiveness, and the extent and variety and elegance of Its stock, with any jewelry house in the country, aud is^not equaled in the South. Mr. Hamilton’s long ex perience, good judgment and taste has enabled him to select an sortment of rare and elegant holiday goods, which cannot fail to give satisfaction, both as to quality aud price. It is well known that only the best articles are to be found at this house, and the fact that it has the stamp of Hamilton on it is printa facie evi dence of its being genuiue. Yesterday morning numbers of strangers in the city thronged the establishment, and on all sides could be heard their expressions of admira tion while inspe ting the many rare and beautiful articles so tastefully displayed. It would be impossible to enumerate the thousands of useful and ornamenial articles in jewelry, silverware, Ja pan ware, bisque; the rare and elegant vases, figures, etc. The assortment of gold and silver watches is also veiy large, and embrace the works of the beet manufacturers in Europe. In sil verware tliL-re is something to suit every fancy and taste, while the line of rings and ladies’ jewelry is complete. Mr. Hamilton’s enlarged facilities have enabled him to se cure this vast array of costly and elegant articles on the best terms, aud with bis usual enterprise and liberality he is offering his patrons the irfhucement of reasonable prices. Those who are desirous of present ing their friends with valuable souvenirs of the Christmas times should not fail to call at Hamilton’s jewelry emporium. MisH Kate Thayer-Her Reception Last Evening. A very large and cultivated audience wel comed Miss Kate Thayer, the Southern prima donna, upon her first appearance in this city last evening at the Theatre, sup ported by several noted and accomplished artists. We have rarely 6een a finer audi ence at any concert given in this city, and the ent husiastic reception accorded the com pany must have been as gratifying to them as it was complimentary. The programme comprised 6ome beauti ful gems, though in some instances the selections might have been better. Mine. Carreno’sj first piece, piano solo. Polonaise in E, was very beautifully ren dered, as was also her encore. Tagliapietra’s flr6t number did not suit his voice, though so great a favorite is be, that the audience gave him the heartiest applause, and he responded by singing the “Serenade,” by Scuders, which is suitable for a lyric tenor but not a baritone. Mr. M. Arbuckle’a cornet solo was fine, though he has not the elegant and finished style of Levy. The “Sweet By and By,” which he gave as encore, was very exquis itely rendered, and completely charmed the house. Miss Helen Norman has neither the dramatic style or power for “ O Mio Fer- naudo,” which we did not consider well rendered, and her “ Robin Adair ” was not as good as the average, though it pleased the house, as their applause attested. Miss Kate Thayer, who had the last num ber of the first part, was greeted with cor dial applause when she appeared. Miss Thayer is a lady of fine manuers and quite pleasing addres^,and possesses a fine soprano, voice, with splendid finish, though it lacks sympathetic quality, but her con- eeprion of the Grand Aria was excellent, and she rendered it artistically In superb style. Her voice is of fine power, but not round or touching like that of Annis Montague. Shp is very much like Carlot!a Patti in finish, aud her voice may 7 electrify, but seldom reaches the heart. In the second part Tagliapietra sung with better effect, though we still think that he might have chGsen a better selection to show his voice, which is a splendid bari tone, rich and mellow. Mad. Carreno’s number in this part called forth an outburst of applause, so magnifi cently was it rendered. She is a lovely ar tist, and made many friends here last sea son, when with Wilhemj, whose admiration was increased by her fine performance last nigbti Miss Thayer 6ang a waltz by Ardetti very nicely, and in response to encore saDg ?‘The Old Folks* at Ho feeling. Arbuckle’s cornet solo, “Finale to Lucia,” was splendid, calling forth an encore to which he re-ponded with “The Last Rose of Sum will be paid on aud after MONDAY, the - -’ci instant. J.

In view of this meeting, which Stonewall Division, Sons of Temperance, desire to at tend, the usual Friday evening session of the division will be suspended : Savannah, December 19, 1879. Your presence is solicited at a reception which will be tendered Mr. Jno. W. Drew, the temperance advocat»\ whose labors have been so pre-eminently successful else where, at the rooms of the Young Men’s Christian Association, 137 Perry street, on Friday evening, December 19, at, 8 o’clock. Before entering ’*** _UJ ' * u work in this city, clergymen of the various denominations and 1 i-e representative temperance men of mer,’ r with an effect that was grand in its simplicity and beauty of tone. Miss Norman sang “Just as of Old” beau tifully, and her fine con ralto voice showed to advantage We are of the opinion that this lady should adhere to ballads. Schubert’s^erenade, by Miss Thayer and Mr. Arbackle, was very good, but she does not sing as well as Mrs. Cleveland. Consid ering the brief period Miss Thayer has been on the stage, however, the reputation she has won is truly remarkable. We are glad to learn that her tour through her native section bss been so successful, and assure our Ma con friends, before whom she appears to night, that they may antipip^te a rare mu sical treat. Orange Blossoms—“Off for tbe Wed ding.” Among the passengers by the Central Rail road train which left here yesterday morning, were a pleasant party of ladles and gentle- jpen, whose destination was the hospitable mansion of Captain S. C. Wilson, a ebojrt distance fjom Egypt, Effingham county, where the nnpUals of his daughter, Miss F. Kate Wilson, an accomplished young lady, were to be celebrated at b o’clock last night, the happy groom being our townsman, Mr. Louis M. Ryals. Rey. Dr. S.

There were certain income bonds outstanding which were believed not to be lien upon the property, at the time. Right ly or wrongly, however, the courts of Ala bama had decided they were alien upon the property of the Montgomery and West Point Railroad. Under these circumstances, it was deemed advisable to effect a compro mise, which was accomplished at a cost of about $520,000 to the two companies. This was a severe blow, and the large payment made was seriously felt. Notwithstanding this, be believed, and was confirmed in the belief by his friend, General Alexander,that in tbe near future this line will become £ source of revenue to the two companies. Last year it had paid interest upon its out standing bonds, current expenses, and had netted 3 per cent, to the two companies. Incidental advantages had also been derived from its control, which would warrant its purchase again if it never had been accom plished. Hence the action of this and the Georgia Railroad Company was wise, as the result proved. - There was another payment of $SO,000, in a matter where the directors had been de ceived, whether intentionally or not, he did not know. In referiing to them it was ne cessary to go back some time, but many present would remember when the control of the Vicksburg and Brunswick Road was f mrehased by the Southwestern Railroad, t was then supposed there was no liens upon it; subsequently, however, the fact was developed that the road had be come endorser on the bonds of Barbour county, amounting .to $300,000. Suit was brought and resulted adversely-to the company. Some advantages, however, resulted from this transaction. The com pany now have absolute and perfect control and a fine depot in the city of Eufaula, more favorably located than the depot belonging to the Southwestern Railroad. The next payment was the endorsed bonds of the city of Savannah by tbe Southwestern Railroad,amount ing to $150,000. A portion of these bonds had been taken up, reducing the amount out to about $80,000. He referred mainly to this matter to correct the erroneous impression that there were still out $100,000 of these bonds. Most were exchanged for new city bonds under the compromise offered by the city of Savannah. This loss was not very serious. Colonel Wadley here stated that there was another matter to which he desired to direct their attention, and that was cou tained in the following paragraph in his annual report, and he must offer some little excuse for introducing it: “While it is not strictly within the scope of this report to go into details respecting the action of any parties that are not directly connected with this company, the board feel that mention should be made of the recent sale of the Montgomery and Eufaula Railroad, which took place on the first day of May last. The road is so situated that if in the hands of / parties whose interests were in antagonism with this company our interest could not fail t*> suffer ceriously. It therefore became object of great solicitude to the board to encourage parties friend ly to our interest to become the purchasers of that road. In this we have been eminently successful, and only upon condition that the endorsement of this company shonld be placed upon the obliga tions of the purchasers of that road for the amount paid for it. By this arrangement we secure the entire and cordial operation of that company permanently, and that, too, without the least risk, as the road is re garded as worth the price paid for it.” Colonel Wadley, commenting on this ex tract from his report, said that the opera tions of that road for the past six months, whiph had been made up, fully warranted the statement that it i^ag 'a good invest ment. He was President of the compapy, and could therefore speak by the card. It will pay the interest on the purchase money, and provide a sinking fund. The statement for tbe eix months included four of the worst months of the year, and yet it had met its current expenses fnlly. The next matter to be considered was referred to in the last paragraph of his annual report, which was as follows: Should the Macon and Brunswick Road be leased, as contemplated m the bill re ferred to above, Jfc certainly cannot be ex pected that this company will longer give the privileges heretofore granted of traffic over tbe Atlanta division of our road; and it is possible that the withdrawal of these privileges may compensate for the loss of business that would result from the con struction of another line between Macon and Atlanta.” This action of the Legislature was regard- e4 by tjie board as in'antagonism to the iu- terests'of this poujp^ny and of Savannah', and concerned one ad’raudfc as the^other. It had been the desire, as well as the intention, of the board to foster the interests of Sa vannah in connection with the road, and jhey conld but look with amazement and Savannah order to make* their acquaint- I We understand that tfte groom was com- 1 not divine the faiotiye actuating them, ibis in council rith them, to determine I plimented with a very handsome present by I company had afforded every facility to'the - - - ’ ■ 1 Messrs.

The act was however passed, and the sale of the Macon and Brunswick Rail road advertised. Owing to some f" f “ rm *li- ty in the advertisement and at the bid ding, there wpo sale; the road was re-advertised to bp sola on the 13th of January. It’ was rumored in yarioup ways that interests west of iis were con cerned in the purchase and building of another line from Macon to Atlanta. Why these interests should desire the construc tion of this other line,, was something he could not understand, as the Central stood ready to receive all they could give, and had ample facilities for the rapid transpor tation of the produce of the Northwest seek ing outlet to sea. Savannah was acknow ledged to be the best seaport on the South Atlantic coast, possessing all advantages of capital apd monied interests. The Central was ready apd willing to extend any and every facility to the people of the Nprth- west; there was no privilege that they might ask which would not be cheerfully accorded. What motive or reason Impelled the parties rumored to be interested in the proposed disrarbance of existing commercial inter course, he was unable to understand. He could not say that they intended such pro ceeding—in fact he hoped they did not. If this legislation, however, is persisted In and fostered by other lines, it may become necessary for and to the inter est of the Central to look tQ other connecting lines, and to extend tnpir operations. Such a ijne of po|icy he and the directors deprecated, bpt they were determined to use aR their advantages in protecting the interests of tbe company. He did not wish to open up hostile lines and disturb the principal trade centres, where business was established and capital invest ed. If, however, the legislation proposed developed into active measures, he declared that this company was amply able to pro tect itself, and would do so. There h&4 beep a great deal said in the newspapers ‘ abftat this matter, and speculations Indulged ip concerning the intentions and policy of the Central, but this was the first time he had ever pub* licly spoken in regard to the matter. He had long been aware of the advantages pos sessed by the Central, and only desired them in the protection of their own interests. With tffis lucid and concise presentation of 1 be facts, and declaration of the policy to be pursued by the Central in the event this inimical legislation amounts to more than words, CoL Wadley closed with the remark that if any gentleman present de sired to ask any question relative to the sub ject, h.e would be pleased to give such infor mation as he could- e Mr. Henry Blun thereupon offered the fol lowing resolutions : Jfrspli-ed, That wp, tbe stockholders of the Central Railroad apd Banjdng Company, deem the purchase of the Montgomery apd Eufaula Railroad and its franchises by parties friendly to the interests of this com pany as eminently wise and, in our opinion, beneficial to our interests, and the action of the Board of Directors of this company in endorsing the obligations of Hie Mont gomery and Eufaula Railroad Company is hereby ratified and approved. BeOcHved, That we view with solicitude the legislative enactments warding the lease and sale of the Macon and Brunswick Rail road and Its franchises, and desire to e& \ press herewith our deprecation of the same, so far as the State disfranchises ns from any of the privileges of becoming lessees, as well as for conferring the aid of the State to a competing line to be built at its in stance. Resolved, That shonld the necessity arise for this company to connect its road tfffh the Western line of railroads for the protec tion of this, our property, we cheerfully give the President and Board of Directors onr approval for such action as may become necessary in the premises. Mr. Geo. C. Freeman asked for informa tion if the action of this meeting would be binding upon the directors, or if their action conld be ratified, there not being a quorum present. Mr. Blun replied that under the charter of the company the directors were authorized to pursue such course as was deemed best in their judgment, and the resolutions were offered for the purpose of giving them the moral suppoft of this meeting. There being no farther objection, the re solutions were pat by the Chair and adopted with one dissenting voice. Mr. Blun offered’the following: Resolved, That we, as stockholders of the TUB CONDEMNED. totmtes safl Yrovtstoss Tbe Execution at Statesboro To-Day* The negro Drew Holloway, who murdered Benson Brown, also a negro, near States boro, In Bnlloch county, on the 24th of De cember, 1878, and who was recently con-, Tided ol murder at the Superior Court -and sentenced-to be hung on the 19th Decem ber, has been confined at Chatham county jail for safe keeping.

Last evening,about quarter to six o’clock, Mrs. George N. Nichols, while returning home in company with some lady friends, was the victim of one of the boldest high way robberies we have had to re cord in many days. She had been purchasing some articles for Christmas presents, and had her pocket- book, with the articles mentioned, in £ reticule, which she carried on her arm, 6us pended by a slight chain. She had stopped at Heidt’s drug store, with tbe view of taking the car, when her lady friends passed, and she concluded to join them and walk home. The party then pro ceeded up Whitaker street, and when near the corner of Harris, Mrs. Nichols noticed a negro man, dressed in a dark suit, and wearing an old felt hat, whose movements were rather suspicious, but she only gave this a passing thought. The ladies con tinued on up to Macon street, when this same * fellow, who it appears had followed them, rudely jostled against Mrs. Nichols, and, at the same time, grabbed her satchel, and the chain slipped from her arm to her hand, when she clutched It and cried out “stop thief.” The negro was determined to have the 6atchel, and gave it a violent 1erk, pulling the lady nearly off the sidewalk, when, becoming apprehen sive lest the scoundrel should strike her, she released her hold ou the 6atchel, and the negro, with his booty in baud, fled rapidly in the direction of Barnard street. The" chain had nearly cut through the glove, and her hand was badly wrenched. Shortly after this -another negro came and said, “Lady, what’s the matter?” when Election of Officers.

The other ladies were so terrified by the suddennei which was over in a few minutes, were unable to do or say anything.

The others got over safely, but this little unfortunate caught her foot in the cattle guard, and before she could extricate her self was knocked down aud ran over, being instantly killed.

Qn Wednesday morning about 1 o’clock, C. L. Delaney, a colored man, son of the well known colored politician In Charles ton, Major Delaney, was drowned at the Exchange dock under the following circumstances: Mr. Sam Lawton had come down the river from his plantation in hie boat, and had made arrangements to go on a hunting expedition to Hilton Head, and it was decided to start at 1 a. m. on low water. Mr. Lawton encountered Delaney here, whom he knew, aud gave him a bottle of whisky for himself and another negro who bad come down in the boat. Short ly before the hour decided upon for the departure of the sloop, Mr. Lawton, being sent for, drove down to the wharf, and informing the Captain that he had abandoned the trip, desired to have his sporting equipments returned him. Dela ney, who was in the boat at the time, started to band tbe articles to Mr. Lawton, when he suddenly stumbled and fell overboard Into the river, and was not seen afterwards. The supposition is that he had been drinking too much. Delaney belonged to the better class of colored people, and bore a good reputa tion. |ils only fault being that Ije was rather too fond qf whisky,' An Important Personal Item. Charles 8.
