An Offer ol SSOO Per Acre for Su
burban Property Refused.
Thomasyillk, April 11,—a Northern
capitalist the other day offered $20,000
cash for forty acres of land just eustot
this city. The offer was refused. The
property is unimproved and the location
not more desirable than many others near
Tnomasville. Five hundred dollars an
acre is uot a small sum to he offered for
suburban property near this or any other
small city, and yet suob au offer has been
made to Mr. Alexander Smith tor forlv
acres beyond Yankee Paradise and was
refused by Mr. Smith because he can net
more. Tnis is substantial evidence oi the
value and Importance of real estate in and
near Tbomasville. A few reflections as
to the cause of this will not be amiss.
The experience of the past two winters
has proven that this is one of the most
popular winter resorts in toe South.
During the month of January mercury
did notiall below 2.5 degs. above zero, anil
did not go that low hut twice. The aver
age temperature for that month at t>
■o'clock a. m. being about 40 degs.
From Feb. 1 till now the thermometer
has not registered below 40 degs. above
zero, and only on throe occasions has it
been that low. The weather has been
very open, not more than ten days, per
haps, of rain this year. This is remurk
fyble in view ol the fact that the winter
twist past in most places, both North and
VOtlU, has been noted lor its severity.
There is no denying that Tbomasville
ti on a boom, aDd that It is likely to and
very much to her importance as a com-
Uhoicial centre for Southwest Georgia
Georgia can already point with pride to

FLASHES FROM FLORIDA.
The Senatorial Fight the All Ab
sorbing Theme at the Capital.
Tallahassee, Fla., April 11.—In con
sequence of the absence of Lieut. Gov.
Mabry, the Senate adjourned immedi
ately alter assembling to-day, us the Sena
tors were unwilling to go into the election
ol a i’resident pro tem. while the Sena
torial contest is so close and exciting.
In the House a bill was introduced
authorizing Ernest Amos, a minor, to
apply tor a license to practice law in the
courts of the State; also a bill changing
the road laws, by levying a tax for keep
ing the roads in repairinstead of compell
ing men to work eu many days in each
year on the roads; also a bill making it a
crime to invite friends to join in taking
lutoxicating drinks.
The triends of ex-Uovernor Bloxbam
claim several acquisitions to his ranks
to-dav from among those hitherto consid
ered doubtful, adding to the majority he
already had. If this proves true Gov.
Hloxham’s election is sure to follow.
Ihe whole time of the Legislature is
Brent in considering the Senatorial ques
tion. Politicians arrive daily, and tue
friends of both the principal aspirants
are confident. Every movement la
watched w4th anxiety. The supporters
ot both candidates are caucusing to
night. Seme members refuse to go in
either caucus and hold the balance of
power.
THE WORK UP TO DATE.
The Legislature has so far accomplished
mare than could reasonably have been
expected of it when tbe difficulties under
which it labored at tbe outset arc taken
into consideration. Nearly all the mem
bers of the House are new members, very
few ol them having had any experience
at all in deliberative bodies, but they are
men of ability and character and will
soon master the routine work necessary
in the prosecution ot business with dis
patch. The Senate proceeded at once to
business, and is daily discussing meas
ures oi great importance, such as rail
roud commission bills, the best method ol
having the Slate printing dune and the
enactment of such legislation as is neces
sary under the new constitution to insure
its smooth working.
A committee has been appointed to
make a special examination of tbe
new legislation required, and they
have already begun their labors.
In this way nothing needed to
make the new constitution har
monize with existing statutes will likely
be overlooked, and muoh annoyance and
expense can be saved thereby. Commit
lees to visit the various State institu
tions have been appointed and they are
also at work.
THE MISSING SECTION.
A committee ot three is investigating
the oause of the missing section of the
new constitution relative to the State
printing, and their report is looked tor
with great interest. It was charged thut
there wascriminal neglect or conduct on
toe i art ol someone in the disappearance
ot this section when formally enrolled
after passage.
The importance of a railroad commis
sion is recognized by all, and a special
committee has been appointed to oou
sider bills of that character.
Several atlempte have been made to have
another committee appointed to inquire
into the Okeechobee drainage scheme,
but so far it is thought the last commit
tee did ail that could he done, and that it
would be best now to resort to the courts
It lands conveyed have not been earned
by tbe drainage company. This i9 the
recommendation of the commission ap
pointed by Gov. l’err.v.
Senator Wall proposes to amend the
constitution so that women can vote on
the liquor question.
Mr. Mallory’s bill prohibiting free
passes over railroads to delegates to po
litical conventions will probably become
a law.
THE FLORIDIAN METROPOLIS.
Jacksonville, Fla., April 11—San

The Ireigbt depot of the Florida
Railway and Navigation Company’s
road, which contained nearly
SIIIO,OOO worth of freight, had a narrow
escape at a late hour last night from be

posed to have been started by sparks
from a passing locomotive. When dis
covered by the night watchman it bad
gained much headway, and only the des
perate struggles oi the watchman and
train dispatcher, aided by a quiok re
sponse by the tire companies, saved the
building. Tbe loss is SSOO.

upon his uncle and warning him that
there were thieves in the bouse. Mr.
-Maura rushed into the hall. As he did
so he encountered the second lbief and
asked him what be was doing in the
room. The thief tired upon Mr. Maura,
the bullet entering the breast
above the lert nipple, making a lleefi
wound, aud lodged 10 the arm. The bur
glar then tired at Mr. Mann and bit him
in the Ifiigli, tbe bullet going limuign

Mann could Identify them. Tbe wounds
of both parties ure serious but not fatal.

Chicago, April 11.—The strike of the
8.000 union carpenters is still in progress.
Tne Master Carpenters’ Association is
Initiating new members, and the mem
bers declare that they will not accede to
the carpenters’ demands. This aft r

like body from tbe Carpenters’ Council
and arrange terms upon which the men
should return to work.
amalgamating the builders.
Tbe third preliminary meeting looking
toward the formation of a consolidation
of the Building Trade Council was held
yesterday afternoon. There were pres
ent representatives from the stone
cutters’, oar pen ters’, pain tors’, plasterers,’
derrick men's, bod-carriers’.s team-litters’,
lathers’,gas-fitters’,galvanized irou and
cornice men’s, stair-builders’ and slaters’
unions. A constitution was adopted, and
a permanent organization will be effected
next Sunday. An attempt will be made
to briug iu the bricklayers’ and plumbers’
unions as well as other minor ones. The
council will represent ’JO,OOO or 30,000
men, and a general strike will
be ordered in every instance where a
strike in a single shop cannot be won
without doiug so. It is hignly probable
that the new Council will take a hand iu
the carpenters’ strike in case it is not
soon settled. The members of the coun
cil say tbe strike oi the carpenters will
be the last of any Chioago building trades.
They will get wnat-they ask tor without
resorting to a strike. The constitution
adopted yesterday is like the one adopted
by a similar council in New York. The
name will be the Amalgamated Trade
Council ol Cook county.
A SETTLEMENT.
After a consultation with the strikers’
ExccutiveCouiinitiee an organization w as
formed tobe known as the independent
Master Carpenters’ Association, The
terms of the strikers were at once acceded
to ou condition that the strike be declared
off' so lar as the members of the new asso
ciation ol employes are concerned. This
was agreed to by the strikers, and it is
expected that about one-eighth o!
the men will thus resume work
immediately on the eight-hour plan, at
35c. an hour, disputes to be settled not
between employer and employe, but by
arbitration between the carpenters’ and
masters’ association. The result marks
an important divergence Iroin the pro
gramme declared hy the carpenters at the
beginning ol the strike. They then an
nounced that no carpenters would be
allowed to return to work until the con
tractors gave in. or the strike as a whole
was declared a failure.

Mutters of Money and Management
About Various Lines.
The new union passenger depot now
under construction at Indianapolis will,
it is claimed, be in some respects tbe
largest In existence, the train sheds cov
■ ring more track than any other in the
world.
“An Act to Make a Corner in Pica
Type,” the Railway Age thinks, might be
one ut the tides of the new law, as the
provision requiring nil tariff schedules
to be printed in type “of at least the size
of ordinary pica” has had that effeot. So
tremendous nas been the demand that all
the type foundries ol tne country have
been exhunst'dii. and many railway com
panies have found great difficulty in
bringing out their schedules at the re
quired time.
The Kansas City and Gmt System.
The Kansas City, Fort Scott and
Gulf system is an example of
rapid railway growth under good
management. At the commence
ment of 1880 the company operated
190 miles ol road. Before the close of tbe
present year its mileage will have in
creased to 1,176 miles, about 900 miles
oeiuz already in operation and the rest
under construction. Tnat the company
is prosperous is indicated by the tact that
for the 387 miles of main and leased
lines, not counting auxiliary lines, the
net earnings per mile in 1886 were $2,737,
while the fixed charges per mile were
only $1,610. The completion ot the Mem
phis and Birmingham extension l'nto the
new industrial region of Alabama, there
making direct connection with tne South
Atlantio coast, must add very largely to
tne business or the system.
Orders to tlunductora
The general manager of a Western road
has issued the following circuit to bis
conductors: “The Interstate law makes
it a penal offense to charge, collect, or re
ceive from any passenger greater or less
sum for Uis fare than is charged or re
ceived from another, or to collect or re
ceive a greater or less sum Irom anyone
tnan the published rates of fare. The
penalty ot violation ot the law is $5,000.
Any conductor who commits such viola
tion is personally liable ior the penalty
and also involves the company in liabil
ity. It tnerelore becomes necessary that
you exercise unusual care in the matter
of collecting cash fares, of taking up and
canceling tickets, uud detaching oorrect
mileage Trom mileage books; also in mak
ing your reports exact and specific, so
that in case of any question you may be
able to show clearly that you have car
ried nobody free and have not failed to
collect the published rate of fare or
tickets.”
