Yesterday Bailiff Abney jailed a negro named Bob Roseau, charged with attempting to outrage a negro girl. He had been out on bond and was turned over by bis bondsman, Mr. J. M. Simmons, Tbs Man Who IHskcs a Town Grow. Bill Arp was about right when in one of his letters he said: “I have long observed that if a little town has the good fortune to have a leader In whom the citizens have confidence in it will go ahead, but where there is none and the people do not work together, but some pull haw and Borne gee, amt some pull back and some don’t pull at all, and all want to ride, it makes no pro gress.” The Ilairs of Your Head. Scientists have found that blonde hair is the finest and red the coarsest. This is not a very important contribution either to physiology or to tonsology, blit, nevertheless, in order to prove it, a German physiologist has counted the hairs on fouf heads of equal weight—brains, bones, etc , excluded—with the following results: The rod head contained 90,000 hairs; the black, 103,000; %he brown, 109,000, and the blonde, 140,000. Patti Roaa. Patti Rosa will appear as “ Zip” at Springer opera house on Friday night. The Cincinnati Enquirer has the following to say of her: “There ■was an immense audience at Havlln’s last night, which was highly entertained by Miss Patti Bosa, in the play of “ Zip.” She is impressive and bewitching, and paints the light emotions With which she deals plain and definite. She is fascinating and demonstrative in both heart and manners. Her beauty is rare, her singing is •weet, her daucing graceful.” A Queer Customer. Messrs. Brannon & Carson’s brilliantly lighted drugstore had a queer customer last night in the shape of a buzzard which flew in at the frontdoor just after supper. He could not have had any designs on the clerks, for they are all nice young men, therefore he must have got a scent of some of the fresh drugs Just received. When the character of the novel visitor was known he was politely shown the door by two salesmen who carried him out by the tips of his wings. Where be canto from and whither he went is not known. Thv Y, jW. u, Ai Last Night. The Yoflllg Men's Christian Association of Co lumbus met in their hall on Broad street last night and twelve new members were lakttn into the association, which brings its roll up to sixty- five members. Many changes and improvements are being made in the association. They already have a good library and reading room and a gym nasium and bath room will soon he added There is no better place than this, especially for young men away from home who board, to spend their evenings,There are good books,good company and ennobling influences, which tell on a man’s life and business in the long run. It is a safe place to go to regularly, which cannot bo said of every resort in a city. On next Tuesday evening there will also be a joiut meeting of the association and the board of directors, al which the officers of the board will be elected for the ensuing year. Personal. Mr. H. S.

Christopher, editor of the Marion Cofity Patriot, was in the city yesterday. The Tax on State Rank*. The following joint resolution was introduced In the house last week by Hon. Martin V. Cal vin, of Richmond: Whereas, Under the operation of the prohibi tory net of the federal congress, approved March 8, 1886, which levies a tax oflO per centum on the circulation of all banks chartered under the state laws, the material progress of the country at large aud of the southern states in particular, i» greatly impeded; and Whereas. The lock of banking capital and cheaper money is traceable to, and largely caused by, the provisions of the aforementioned act; and Whereas, Said tax ie unwise and unnecessary; therefore be it Resolved, by the general assembly of Georgia, That our senators in congress be instructed and oar repretentatives in congress be requested to be ceaseless in their efforts, and in the exercise of their influence, to secure the repeal of the act hereinbefore mentioned. Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing pream ble and resolution be transmitted by his excel lency, the governor of this state, to each ot our senators and representatives in congress. Referred to committee on the state of the re public. tor was talking yesterday and gave his opinion on the situation. He was not talking for publi cation, but a reporter happened to hear his re marks. He asserted that Captain Raoul will certainly be re-elected president, said the Central had too many plans on foot to have them all interrupted now by a change in the management. All of the Central’s new projects are familiar to Capluin Raoul, and he is in hearty sympathy with them. The company’s business has prospered under his management, and the new enterprises projected all tend to in crease the value of the property. The friends of Captain Raoul are determined that he shall be re elected, and they are working to that end It is said by some that the unusual activity in the stock was doubtless caused by the fact that Captain Raoul’s friends became frightened by the many rumors that he was to be ousted, and fenri jg that an attempt would be inode in that direction, they went to work to prevent such a possibility by securing control of all the stock to be had. This naturally caused a rise in the price. There is no doubt that there are several systems that would like to control the Georgia Central, hut can they do it ? It is an important sy stem itself and is not to be “scooped” every day. The friends in this city of Captain Itaoul seem to be confident of his re-election. The peo ple of Columbus generally are opposed to a change in the management, of the Central. They fear that any change would lose us the Birming ham extension, which is so much desired. The Montgomery Advertiser, in speaking of the rumors about the Central, says: “The interest of Montgomery in the Georgia Central railroad is very great. It controls the Montgomery and Eufaula, the Mobile and Girard and virtually the Western, and the Columbus and Western. All these roads bring business to our city and it is, therefore, a n.utter of interest us to who will control. The latest story afloat is that Jay Gould is the moving spirit bchiqd the scenes aud that he is after a South Atlantic port, lor his western railroads to connect with. Another surmise is that the Richmond aud Danville is putting up the money and buying stock. One thing certain, the stock is selling above par again, having brought 106 a few days ago.” An Alliance Between Gould and the East Ten- IICHHCe. A special from Chattanooga to the New Orleans Times-Democrat says: “ Railroad circles throughout this section are very lhuch aroused over the significant manoeu vres that are clearly discernible in the southern field. The gossip's tongue began to wag first when Jay Gould visited Memphis, and a day or two afterward bought $80,000 worth of land iu that city for a depot for his western connections. “A duy after this purchase the stockholders of the Memphis and Charleston road met at Hunts ville, Ala., and elected a new directory, adding to the list H. 8. Chamberlin, a capitalist, and re affirmed a resolution authorizing the directors to extend the line from Stevenson. Ala., to Chatta nooga, thirty-eight miles. At Ghattanooga it is to connect wit h all the trains on the East Tennes see, Virginia and Georgia system. “It U now pretty generally believed that Gould is seeking an alliance with the East Tennesseo system, and it is thought that the terms have already been made. “The latter in a few days will put on a light ning train from New York, which will make the run to Memphis iu five hours less time than be fore. “The Baltimore and Ohio has added to their interest by unexpectedly scooping the express franchise ou the Queen and Orescent system and all its branches from New Orleans to Cincinnati, and already it is announced that the Southern Express aud the Baltimore and Ohio will beg n a war of rates on New York express. The Balti more and Ohio will take charge December 1. “To add to the complication it U reported that the Louisville and Nashville system will begin a war on the Queen and Crescent, ami start the ] ball by running a through train from Cincinnati via Louisville aud Nas'aviile to Chattanooga, and will carry the war ou all branches and eonuec lions,” The Georgia Midland In Griffin. The Griffin Sun says: “Work was commenced on the New Orleans street division of the Geor gia Midland yesterday. The work will he pushed forward as rapidly as possible, and by the middle of January it is very likely that Oriffiu and Co lumbus will be connected in reality.” Net New In ColumUtiK. The Savannah News speaks of insuring lenses us “u new feature of the insurance business coming into favor,” and says‘ it is not unlikely that it may bo adopted here.” We like Savan nah, but somehow or other it manages to always keep behind the procession. The insuring of leases has been in operation in Columbus fora number of years The most ordinary business man here knows that he cau insure the amount of the rent he has to pay if he so desires. The insurance man who told the News the following got off a very old chestnut: “It is not generally understood that a tehnnt is liable for rent for the fhll term of his lease, whether the premises can be occupied or not. That is, if a man rents a house from another for a year under the ordinary lease, be is bound to pay rent for a year, even if the building should be burned down two weeks after he moved iu. Of course, if u special provision is made in the lease that the tenant shall not be held liable if the building is burned, that alters the case, but very few leases are drawn so. The insurance part of the business is very simple. The company will agree to indemnify the leassee against loss on his lease by fire, that is, if the building burns down the company will pay the rent for him until it is rebuilt or the lease expires. Or if the lease specifies that the tenant shall not be required to pay in case of destruc tion by lire, the company will insure the land lord and will pay him the rents.” New Jewish S»> uuirugiu*. The foundation for the new Jewish Synagogue is being laid and the building will be rapidly pushed to completion. We understand from those who have seen the plan that it will be e. handsome edifice when completed. The ladies of the congregation are busy pre paring for the fair to be given early next mouth for the benefit of the synagogue. HOTEL ARRIVALS. RANKIN HOUSB. C. D. Winn, Macou; O. H.

If the St. Louis paper wants a very presumptuous young man, and one who never gets left on the exag gerating business either, we think we can Air-I nisli him on demand.
