8 NEW FIELDS OF TRADE. SAVANNAH AND THE ALABAMA MIDLAND RAILROAD. Business Men Asked to Help Build the .Road to Bainbridge to Connect With the Savannah, Florida and Western —The Advantages the Proposed Con nection Will Give Savannah. One of the most important railroad con nections talked of for Savannah is the pro posed Alabama Midland, and the more it is discussed the more favorable the project ap pears. Some time ago a line was surveyed from Montgomery, Ala, southeast to Chat tahoochee, a distance of about 175 miles. A glance at a railroad map of Alabama shows that there is a vast section of the southeastern part of that State which is without railroads. When it is Btated that that very section contains the richest agricultural counties in Alabama, it seems not a little surprising that, with all of the railroad building which lias been going on in the past few years, no track has yet been laid through that country. Perhaps one explanation is that the traffic found out lets by water. However, there are half a ?#-!! counties in that corner of the State rich need and are about to build a i-a.il be proposed road is to start Montgomery, extend to Troy l thence southeast to the Chatta ■kx-hee river. Bainbridge. Ga., saw that line is bound to draw a large and valua ble trade, and some of her citizens proposed ttr the road be extended through Early apt! Decatur counties to their town. HOW SAVANNAH IS INTERESTED. m to). J. D. Harrell and Mr. R. A. Lytle, of MWlnhririge. and Mr Godfrey Peterson, of Montgomery, spent yesterday in .Savannah talking up tbe road and showing what, its ■vantages as a connection of Savannah'* would lie These three gentlemen called on a number of Bay street men and liad very encouraging interviews. Enough money Wae guaranteed along the original route, from Montgomery to Chattahoochee, to warrant outside capitalists to take hold of trip enterprise. When it was promised that ths line be diverted finin Chattahoochee and from Dot hen ri< fleet across to Gordon on the river and thence to Bainbridge, it *ta agreed that it Bainbridge would sub * tit *50.000 th< route would lie changed, va A canvass of Bainbridge obtained sub *-*itions for $30,000. and it was decided JW>t .Savannah be asked to help out, the two western counties. Those interested in the movement iiad reason to believe that they would get assistance from fSavnnnnh, as she will be greatly Ixmeflted by the new road ihouhl it, connect with the .Savannah, Rw ida and Western at Bainbridge. THE ROUTE IX ALABAMA. m, e Alabama counties through which il Will pass are Montgomery, Pike, Dale nnd Hen \ and will draw n large trade from Btpboui-. the last named being much the wealthiest, county, agriculturally, in the ■Pte. Its population was 18,761 the last and the total population of all the counties through which the line would pass Was 180,000. Coifee county, Ala.. although it will not be touched by the railroad, lies so near the S' jto'-’i lint that a large part of its trade would come to Savannah. * In 1870 the half dozen Alabama counties HXSBtioned produced 400,000 bushels of corn. •SHBLfIOO bushels of rice and 157,356 bales of ■ cotton. The crops now are estimated to be SO per oent. larger titan they were then. A great deal of the trade now goes to New < Orleans, farmers hauling their products twenty, thirty, forty and fifty miles to the railroads. Last year the river counties of Alabama shipped 107,000 bales of cotton up the Chattahoochee to Columbus. WHAT THE PROJECTORS HA V. ' The projectors of the Alabama Midland say that a very large percentage of cotton would, come to Savannah bv way of Bain- Kif the proposed road is built. From omerv to (Tunbridge is about 175 miles, and the distance from Bainbridge to Savannah is 236 miles, which gives a new line from Montgomery to Savannah only a little ' iver 400 miles in length. If the road goes to Chattahoochee it will tiiere connect with the Savannah, Florida and 'Western, the Florida Railway and Nav igation and the Louisville and 'Nashville. Tne result will he that Savannah would in thut event have to compete with two other roads, whereas if the lino is carried direct to Bainbridge this city will get.till the traffic without any competition of consequenoe. The road could bo constructed as cheap as %ny. the committee says, as there would lie Da heavy grading. It would develop a rich naval stores territory, which is sure to lie opened up sooner or Inter anyhow, and the _fiavannan naval stores men seem to think that, they have an excellent opportunity to secure that business. TO SECURE MOBILE’S TRADE. It is Raid that if Savannah does not take prompt steps to capture that trade it will lie secured by Mobile or New Orleans. The new rood would take from those two cities a large cotton and rice trade which they now- enjoy and bring it to Savannah. The road would give the shortest route from Mr*itgomry to Jacksonville by 36 miles. Messrs. Lytle, Peterson and Harrell will remain in Savannah to-day to confer further with the business men. Messrs. Main hard Bros. & Cos. started the subscription wfith £I,OOO, and a number of other firms have pledged liberal subscrip tions. THROUGH THE CITY. Items Gathered Here and There by the News Reporters.

That the Interstate Commerce I Commission Is* asked to enforce section I of the interstate commerce ac;. tn order that the h.w may h#e a fair nud full trial before being condemned by the people or by the railroads. Section 4 of the act is the long and short haul clause, which reads as follows: It shall be unlawful for any common carrier subject to the provisions of this net to charge or receive any greater compensation tu the asrgre gale f u llie transportation of passengers or of like kind of property under substantially simi lar circumstances and conditions for a shorter than for a longer distance over the same line in the same direction, (he shorter le-iug included within the longer distance: but this shall not lie construed as authorizing any common carrier within the terms of this act to charge and receive as great conipensati m for a shorter asforalong er distance: provide,!, however, that upon appli cation to the commission appointed under the provisions of tr.-.s act. swell common carriers may, in t-ttecial cases, after investigation by the commission, be authorized to chare-* less for longer than for shorter distances for the trans- portation of passengers or property: and the commission may. from time to time, prescribe the extent to which such designated common carrier may be relieved from the operation of this section of this net. Capt. Fred M. Hull, President, and Messrs. Janies K. Clarke, J. W. Hunt and J. F.

The State of lowa has been defeated in its attempt to compel foreign railway corpora tions to take out u permit for the transaction of business within that State, the condition of such permit to be that tho railway company if sued by a citizen of the State shall not re move the case to a Federal court. The Supreme Court of lowa sustained the act of the Legislature to this effect, but the United States Supremo Court has just reversed tho decision, holding that the statute is void be cause it compels foreign corporations to sur render a privilege secured to them by the constitution and laws of the United States. Tho corporation concerned in this case is the Chicago and Northwestern, but the decision applies to all other railway companies, ex cent the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific, which have lines in lowa, while their head quarters are outside of the State. The prin ciple is a very important one and has long been in contest. A Week of Popular Plays.

THE DILLON TRACT SALE. The Minimum Price of Lots Not Yet Determined by the City. The advertised sale of a i>art of the Dillon tract by the city on next Tuesday is attract ing a great deal of interest. Council at its last meeting fixel $70,000 as the minimum price for the jjortion which it wants to selL The matter of fixing a minimum value on each block was left to the Committee on City Lots. As some of the blocks are more valuable than others, the lowest bids that will be received will have Ur be scaled with judgment and delicacy. The blocks along Seventh street are of course worth considerably more than the blocks further out. As yet the minimum prices have not been announced. If they arc held back until the day of sale to be announced by the auc tioneer, intending purchasers who are well acquainted with the land will have a great advantage over those who are less familiar with it. A good many citizens o' moderate means are planning to form pools and buy a few blocks, which th >y will afterwards divide into lots among themselves for building homes. These parties desire to find out the minimum figures which the City Council will put on the lots. When Council ad journ*'! at its last meeting it was subject to the call or the Mayor. A meeting is ex p- *t **l m u day or two,when the Committee on City lets will make a report and the minimum prices will probably be determined then. BUILDING COMPANY ORGANIZED. J. J.

Soinore’ Nervous Pitching Loses the Home Club Another Game Tho “Birmingham Pudding” Does Not Ap ply to Mobile A Day of Surprises All Over the League-Savannah’s New Boxnaan. The home club was badly knocked out yesterday at Mobile. It was a day of sur prises everywhere. Nashville was beaten at home by Memphis by a score of 17 to 16. New Orleans almost -hut out Charleston, but the way the Gulf City team rounded up the Savannahians was the biggest surprise of all. The results of the day's games were: Savannah 4, Mobile ! 4. New Orleans 7, Charleston i. Memphis 17, Nashville 16. The crowd around the bulletin boards yes terday was larger at the staid of the Mobile game than it was toward the finish. Every body thought the club had a sure victory, but it turned out that Mobile, although de feated eight straight games by New Or leans, was not such a picnic after all, as a good many people had expected. The dub went from Birmingham, where it defeated the local club on Tuesday- 2l to 10, and was counting on a dean wipe out of the Mobilians. It turned out quite the other way. Somers, who tilled the box, was batted heavily from the start, while Savan nah got but seven hit- off Hungler. It was clearly Mobile’s heavy hitting that won the game. *•- The home team will be strengthened at New Orleans by the addition of anew pitcher—“ Tricky” Nichols —who was signed yesterday, and will join the club next week. Nichols played witli Savannah two years ago, and iast year was with the Brocktons, in the New England League. He is a fine pitcher, and under the new rules has been doing* very effective work. He will leave Bridgeport, Conn., to-day for New Orleans. How the Game Was Played. Mobile, Ala., April 27.—After a long and painful series of defeats Mobile received encouragement to-day li v securing a victory over Savannah. True, Savannah came in hot, tired and dusty and not in good form, but the Mobile team placed an exceptionally good game and defeated its opponents with much to spare. Hungler pitched a brilliant game and came within one of Aydelotte’s record, the best so far in the league. Duffee went five times to the bat and made five hits. The errors were few and evenly distributed. Campau made the most notable play for his side, leading the club with four stolen bases. The nine plays well together. Reilly im pressed the crowd ns a hard hitter. Somers pitched rather nervously, but circumstances were not favorable for good work. There is promise of a good game to-morrow The following is tho score: MOBILE. A.B. R. B.H P.O. A. E.

A correspondent of the Baltimore Svn asks how a professional pitcher manages to give a curve to the path of a bull other than that effected by the attraction of the earth. He does it, it is said, by giving the ball a t wist as it leaves his hand. That is. he gives it a motion of revolution in addition to the motion of projection, and the curvature secured depends upon the direction of the axis of revolution in reference to the line of the hall's path. If the axis of revolution is made to coincide with the line of the ball’s motion forward, as in the case of a bullet fired from a rifled gun. the ball will have no appreciable deflection. Otherwise, one side ot the ball encounters more resistance from the air than the other side does, and a de flection results. INDIAN INFANT MARRIAGE. A Bombay Court Reluctantly Com pelled to Enforce a Cruel Law. From t.\e London Times. Calcutta, March IS.—The case of Ruk mibhai, the native lady whose wrongs nroused so geiiei-al a feeling of sympathy in England and India, is probably fresh in the memory of your readers, but as the case now appeal's to he on the point of reaching a crisis it may be w ell to recapitulate- the facts briefly. Rukmibhai was married, ac cording to Hindoo usage, at the age of 11, to a youth some years her senior. She remained at her parents' house, was carefully edu cated, and grew up, according to all ac counts. into a refined and highly cultivated lady. Some eighteen months ago she pub lislied in the Times of India , under the nom de plume of “A Hin doo Lady, a series of forcible and striking letters on the miseries entailed on her sex in India by the barbarous customs of infant marriage and enforced widowhood. Last year her husband tried to get her to live with him, and on her refusing instituted a suit for the restitution of conjugal rights in the Bombay High Court. The case was tried in the first instance by Mr. Justice Pinhey, when it having been proven that the husband was too poor to support her, was utterly ignorant and uneducated—in fact a mere coolie—and was, moreover, consump tive, the Judge expressed the opinion that it would lie a barbarous, cruel and revolting tiling to compel her to live with such a man. He further held that such suit could not lie under Hindoo law and dismissed it. The husband appealed, and the case was argued Indore the Chief Justice and Mr. Justice Bay ley. Those learned Judges, while expressing their entire sympathy with Rukmibhai, felt compelled to rule that Mr. Justice Pinhey was wrong in law, and re manded the case to the lower court, for trial on its merits. It has now been reheard be fore Mr. Justice Farran. Rukmibhai’s counsel could only repeat that his client had never consented to the marriage and never regarded the man as her husband; that the husband was poor, ignorant and unhealthy; and that if ordered to return to him she would lie forced to disobey, and was prepared to take the consequences. The Court had no option save to pass an order that she should join her husband within a month. Should she fail to do so she would be liable to six months’ imprisonment. The case has ex cited much sympathy among the Anglo- Indian community. The English newspa pers arc publishing articles and letters on the subject, and stei>s are being taken in Bombay to raise a fund on lier behalf. Among the native community, however, hardly a single voice, except that of Mr. Malabari, a Parsec gentleman, has been raised in her favor, and the so-called reform ers who agitate loudly for representative in stitutions, etc., say ho word for the altera tion of the cruel law which the Bombay court has been reluctantly compelled to en force. THE BETROTHAL AT BERLIN. Two of Queen Victoria’s Grandchildren are Affianced to Each Other. The young couple who were officially be trothed in the presence of the old Emperor on his birthday are receiving hundreds of congratulatory telegrams from all parts of the world. Prince Henry, the sailor son of the Crown Prince, is probably the most popular member of the younger generations of Prussian royalty. Fair-haired, open faced, and with a particularly cheery man ner. he much resembles his cousin George, the sailor son of the Prince of Wales. He is a great, favorite at Windsor, and the pres ent betrothal of the young couple is due to that most inveterate of old matchmakers, Queen Victoria. Prince Henry, who holds tne rank of Captain in tlie Imperial German navy, has already circumnavigated the globe, visiting the ruins of Thebes, hunting big game in Upper India, and picnicking with the Japanese Mikado. His fiance, Princess Irene of Hesse, is considered as the prettiest and at the same t ime as the- cleverest of the daughters of the Grand Duke of Hcsse-Dannstadt. Queen Victoria, indeed, asserts that she is the very image, lx it it morally and physically the pic ture ot' her mother, the late Grand Duchess, who was the favorite child of the Queen. Princess Irene spent several months last year with her grandmother at Balmoral, and at the time it was rumored that she was about to lieoome affianced to the youngest of the Batten berg Princes, who was visiting the Queen and pouring into the latter’s sympa thetic ear the history of liis brother Alex ander’s woes in Bulgaria. Princess Irene’s eldest sister married a few yeans ago Brines Louis of Battenberg, a Captain in the British navy, and who is without exception the most popular and likable of the Battenberg clan. The other sister, Princess Elizabeth, married the Czar's younger brother, Sergius, who has already shown signs of latent insanity. According to popular rejwirt a separation is a lout to tak ■ place, the husband having lieen guilty of brutality and savagery, which cati only be accounted for by the con dition of his mind. “Rough on Rats,” clears out rats, mice, roaches, flies, ants, ln-dliugs, beetles.
