DREYFUS DISAPPEARS Taken From Devil's Island and is Probably in. France. By Associated Press. New York. Dec. 30 —A special to the Herald from Paramaibova, Hayti, says: It is reported here that former Capiain Dreyfus, who for the last three years nas been kept In solitary and close confinement on Devil’s Island, one of tb-e isles de Salut, a few miles east of here has been removed from this island prison to Cay enne and sailed from there to France on December 4, last, on a convict transport. No details regarding the whereabouts of the prisoner or as to his ultimate desti nation can be ascertained. It is believed that he will be taken to Paris to wait the orders of the court of cassation. Memphia, Tenn., Dec. 30 —The Commer cial-Appeal says: Many who watch the interesting game which large railroad companies play when they are after a certain small line of road ■are very much interested just now in the rumors to the effect that the Southern in tends to purchase, if Indeed, it ha? not already purchased, the -Northern Alabama Railway, and the general belief is that if the purchase is consummated there will be a large amount of trouble from the Kansas City, Memphis and Birming ham road. The secret of this is that if the Southern acquires the line it can run into Atlanta from Memphis over its own tracks, for it can go from here to Florence or Sheffield over the Memphis and Char leston division, thence to Cordova, Ala., over the Northern Alabama Railway, and there it taps the old Georgia Pacific divis ion of the Richmond and Danville, which is now a part of the Southern Railway system, and that line runs from Green ville, Mies., to Atlanta. Local railroad men have been specula ting on these rumors for some time, and many of them are disposed to the belief that the Southern would like to own the property, and that sooner or later it will rake possession. Os course there are no executive officials in Memphis of either of the roads, and the officials in Memphis of the Southern would likely never know anything about the purchase until after it was made, but present Indications are all favorable to the purchase. The Northern Alabama Railway owns a lino from Sheffield to Jasper, a station on the Kansas City, Memphis and Bir mingham, a distance of about ninety-six miles, and this is another attraction for the Southern. Ownership of the road would give it a connection over its own raile from the East to the Mississippi river, on direct routes, at two points—Memphis and Greenville, Miss., and at the same time will place the road in a position to com pete with the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham on the business to the East, in passenger traffic which now goes by Birmingham. Under present arrangements traffic in the passenger line for the most part takes one of three courses, the South ern and Norfolk and Western via Bristol; the Ixtuisville and Nashville and Pennsyl vania via Cinnati; or the Kansas City. Memphis ami Birmingham and Southern via Birmingham and (Atlanta. if the Southern owned the Northern Railway of Alabama, its line from here to Birmingham would be the same that it is by Decatur, and thence over the Louisville and Nashville, or 272 miles, as against 251 miles over the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham. East of Birmingham the Southern owns the line to Washington, and of course could easily control connec tions so that, this difference in mileage would make no difference between the two lines to Birmingham. The next question which suggests itself is, what would the men who own the Kan sas City lines do about the matter? The combination is a wealthy one; it is said they have unlimited money, and not the lea«t improbable of results would be the construction of a line from Birmingham to Atlanta. There independent connect ions cast could be made easily, and in such an event the Kansas City road would al most. hold the key to the situation, for it has a line west of the Mississippi river, which to all intents and purposes goes to Denver. Boston men are the owners of ' the Kansas City lines, and some think that a well-aimed threat to take such a step would probably shut the Southern people out of the purchase of the Northern Rail way of Alabama. The Southern’s policy has been to es tablish connections in almost every direc tion over its own rails, where there is a j possibility of advantage, and if for no bet ter reason it would seem more than prob able that it will become the purchaser of the little road in Alabama that now begins as many* other short lines —nowhere—and ends at the same place. This line would be a good freight feeder lor the Southern, and this feature is doubtless more attractive to the Southern people than all the passenger facilities j that half a dozen such lines would give, k It would be felt by the Louisville and I Nashville, the Nashville. Chattanooga and r Sst. Louis and the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham, too. for as the matter now stands, the Louisville and Nashville gets a good share of the mineral move fement that region, as well as the named. It will not be long before - m he fate of the road is known, but just <Mtow everything is of speculative character there is plenty of room for speculat ion upon the possibilities of the line. J O -A.

Last night Mr. Wagnon said he was feeling better, and it wasr thought that he would pull through, but today at 12 o’tlock he died from loss of blood. Mr. Wagnon’s death is a great shock to th* community. He was a god man. hon ored and respected by all. He came to this crity from Green county, and for a num ber of years had been engaged in the dairy business. In addition to the dairy he op- 1 erated a small steamer on the.river, bring ing up staves, aJtch, etc., frem the swamps. Mr. Wagnon was about forty-two years of age. a perfect specimen of rugged man hood. He was a faithful Christian gentle man and a member of the iMethodist church. Messrs John Shinholser and Robert .Mc- Kinney, from Macon, and Seward Edwards and Ed Folds, of thia city, composed the party. Mr. Wagnon’s body was brought up by the boat at 2 o’clock this afternoon and was taken immediately to his home on South Wayne street. While bird shooting near this city to day, Willie Huff, son* of Mr. John Huff, waa accidentally shot, the load entering his arm and leg. The young man is se riofcly injured, but will probably recover. HIS DAUGHTER MARRIED. Then Mr. Lendershine Died a Few Minutes Afterward. I -t-T-.T-n-, Savannah, Ga„ Dec. 30.—L. W.

The wedding took place at his re quest, he having expressed a desire to see them married. Within a few hours after the ceremony he had breathed his last. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. Tha Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of Whitefield nnd the Attor. The best sketch of Whitefield’s preach ing I have found in the memoirs of Cor nelius Winter, who was a faithful compan ion and assistant of the immortal evangel ist. Mr. Winter tells us that a famoua comedian of the day, by name Shuter, often attended Mr. Whitefield’s Aiinistry. Ono of his famous stage characters was known by the name of Ramble. The biog rapher tells us that during the run of the performance of “Ramble” Shuter attended service on Sabbath morning at Tottenham Court chapel and was seated in the pew exactly opposite to the pulpit. “While Mr. Whitefield was giving full sally to his soul he fixed himself full against Shuter with his eye upon him, adding to what he had previously said, ‘And thou, poor Ramble, who hast long rambled from him, come you also—oh, end your rambling by com ing to Jesus!’” , This was the whole tone of Whitefield’s ministry. Hu preached the gospel as if it wero a message to every human soul; tha worse the soul the more emphatic and di rect the gospel. Homiletic Review. AH Must Be Closed Out.

If a man will stop and reason for a moment, he does not have to be a physician to understand the causes of impure blood, or its far-reaching effects. When a man’s digestion is disor dered, his liver sluggish, his bowels inac tive, the blood is deprived of the proper food elements, and the sluggish liver and bowels supply in their place, the foulest of poisons. The blood is the life-stream. When it is full of foul poisons, it carries and deposits them in every organ and tis sue of the body. Bone, sinew, muscle, and flesh-tissue, the brain cells and the nerve fibres are all fed upon bad, poisonous food. Serious ill-health is bound to result. The man is weakened in every fiber of his body. He is weakened physically, mentally and morally. He suffers from sick headache, distress in stomach after meals, giddiness and drowsiness, loss of appetite and sleep, bad taste in the mouth, shakiness in the morning, and dullness throughout the day, and lassitude and an indisposition to work. Sooner or later these conditions develop consumption, nervous prostration, malaria, rheumatism, or some blood or skin disease.
