8 PICKING A\ OIL MILL SITE THE SOUTHERN COMPANY TO BUILD IN SAVANNAH. The Probable Site for the Works at the Central and Charleston and Savan nah Railway Junction—Their Cost to be $126,000 and Their Capacity 30,000 Tons of Cotton Seed Per Year. Fred Oliver, manager of the Southern Cotton Oil Company, is expected in Savan nah in aday or two, to definitely locate the site for the cotton seed oil mill which the Soinpany is to erect here. Mr. Oliver passed through Savannah sev eral days ago. arid while here hurriedly ex amined a number of sites. The one which the company prefers is on the Louisville road at the junction of the Central railroad and Charleston and Savannah railway. PROBABLE SITE OK THE MILL, The land upon which the mill will be built, ff the site is detinately settled upon, is south of the Central’s tracks and north of the Louisville road. The strip of land is not wide enough, however, for the company’s buildings and side tracks unless the high way is moved further south. The County Commissioners have been asked to change the road, but the matter has not yet Leon acted upon. The Central, whose right of way extends from its tracks to the highway, has offered to donate sufficient land for the location of the mill. Mr. Oliver held a conference with Gen. Alexander during hi* last visit here and with Mr. Levis Haskell, who is to he the company's local manager, and the matter of a site was carefully considered, but nothing definite was detertiiined iqion. OTHER SITES TALKED OF. Another site near the Vale Royal mills Was looked into, and still another north of the Central railroad and taking in part of the old Fair Grounds. The site at the Charleston and Savannah junction, being convenient to all the roads {entering here, is considered the most desirable. The capacity of the Savannah mill will be about the same aa that of the other mills which the company will build in the South, and will be about 150 tons. Each of the eight milk which are to be built will cost £12.5,- 000. They will grind 30,000 bens of cotton seed per annum at an expense, the company claims, of £4 per ton less than the Oil Trust can do it. A ful : manufacturing plant will be connected with the mill. THE SOUTHERN OIL COM PAN V. The Southern Cotton Oil Company, as it Is called, was organized in New Jersey. Its capital is £5.000,000, of which £4,000,000 has been taken, and SI.OAi.OOO is re served. The officers are Henry C. Butch er. President; Richard Arnold, of New York, V ice- President; Fred Oliver, Charlotte, N.C., manager; D. A. Tompkins, Charlotte, en gineer, and W. G. Kay, assistant engineer. The mills which are to lie built in the Hoiitb will beat Atlanta, New (trleans, Mont gomery, Memphis, Dallas. Houston, Little Rock mid Savammh. The location of the Atlanta mill lias ah-oady been settled upon, and work will be begun in a short time. THE CENTRAL RAILROAD’S CONTRACT. The Central Railroad has entered into a contract with the company to haul its products, and as soon as the location of the mill hen' is determined the ■work of erecting the buildings will be com menced. The machinery has already been ordered. The Southern company is organized in opposition to the American Oil Trust. With new and improved machinery and pro cesses it expects to produce oil at from $3 to ?4 less per ton than the Trust. They average from 30 to‘3s gallons of oil to the ton of seed, and the new company expects to make 45 gallons to the bin, ana besides it will produce a superior cotton meal. OPPOSITION TO THE OIL TRUST. Not only does the new company expect to make oil cheaper, but it expects to produce as much oil by its outlay of *2,MX),000 as the Oil Trust, which was capitalized at £40.- 000,000. With these advantages the new company expects to corajiete with the oppo sition and make 100 per cent, profit. The establishment of a mill here by a com pany as strongly backed as the Southern Oil ('ompany is understood to be is an important thing for Savannah. THROUGH THE CITY.

FREDERICKSBURG'S FIGHT. Gen. McLaws’ Address Before the Georgia Historical Society. Gen. Lafayette McLaws delivered an ad dress before the Georgia Historical Society last night His subject was the battle of Fredericksburg in 1863. Before taking up the engagement Gen. McLaws gave a brief account of the move ments of the two armies immediately prior to the fight. McClellan, who had com manded the Federal forces, had been superseded by Burnside. After the battle of Antietam, Sept. 16 and 17, 1862. the Union army, under Gen. McClellan made no forward move ment until late in October, when it began to cross the Potomac. Meanwhile the Con federates mpved up the valley of the Shenan doah and into that of the Rappahannock. On Dec. 11 Burnside attempted to cross the river near Fredericksburg bv a pontoon bridge, but was repulsed. (Jen. McLaws had been directed by Gen. Longstrcet to oc cupy the town of Fredericksburg. The next day was occupied in close skirm ishing, Gen. McLaws trying in the mean time to strengthen his position all he could. On Dec. 13 there was a thick fog. When it lifted the enemy was seen to lie in motion, and later an assault was made on the centre of Jackson’s position, held by A. P. Hill, but it was unsuccessful. In the afternoon Gen. Thomas R. R. Cobh was mortally wounded. In the course of the address Gen. McLaws paid a high tribute to Gen. Cobb’s ability, saying that he be lieved that his would have lieen as great as Jackson’s had he not been killed. The address was heard by an audience which filled the library room. Many ladies were present, and in the audience were Gen. Henry R. Jackson, Gen. A. R. Lawton, Gen. E. P. Alexander, Gou. G. M. Sorrel and Gen. R. H. Anderson. The next address before the society will lie on "The Negro Viewed Medically,'” by a prominent physician of the city. THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY . Sixty-Two New Members Elected—The Telfair Academy.

Central Officials Deny That There Is Anything in the Nature of a Deal on Foot—Mr. Sully Abandons His Florida Trip and Goes to Atlanta—What He Says of the Baltimore and Ohio Deal. The directors of tlie Central railroad held their monthly meeting yesterday. Gen. Alexander had expected to go to New York before the regular meeting day, which would have been to-morrow, and so called the directors together yesterday. Vice President H. B. Hollins, of New York, and Mr. A. E. Mills were absent. M*r. Alfred Sully, President of the Rich mond and AV'est Point T rminal, was present during the meeting. That suggested various reports of a deal between the two systems, but the directors said that it meant nothing. A COURTESY TO MR. SULLY. “It was only a courtesy extended to Mr. Sully,” remarked Mr. John C. Calhoun to a representative of the Morning News. “But is not such a thing unusual?” ho was asked. “Not at all. It was purely a mere courtesy inviting him to lie present when in the city. Such things are quite usual,” Mr. Calhoun replied. Mr. Uriah B. Harrold, tho Americas di rector, also remarked that it was just a courtesy, and Mr. Sully, who was present, smiled assent to the explanation, but said nothing. There was no deal on foot, ho re marked, however. Nothing but routine business was transacted, the directors said. TOO WARM IN FLORIDA. Last night Mr. Sully said that he had concluded to give up his Florida trip for the present, assigning as the reason that it is getting too warm. “I am go.ng from here to Atlanta,” he stated, "and have several places at which I want to stop over on tny way back.” Mr. Sully will not return to New York bV way of Savannah. Mrs. Logan, widow of Gen. liogan, and the party of ladies whom he invited to make the trip with him, had to abandon it at. the last moment, much to his regret, Mr. Sully said. Speaking of the Baltimore and Ohio fled he remarked sig nificantly, “Something may come of that yet.” Mr. Sully is a very pleasant talker, but speaks to tuo point. Last night he left for Atlanta, taking with him in liis private ear Mr. Jolm C. Calhoun, Mr. Pat Calhoun, Mr. Harrold and Col C. 11. l’hinizy, besides his two friends, Gen. Fairbanks of Indiana, and Mr. AVormser of New York. LIVELY TIMES AT MEMPHIS. Bold Charges Against President Mor row and Umpire DiesteL Memphis, May 3.—An exciting game was played this afternoon between Nashville and Memphis, resulting in a victory for the visitors by the score of 7to 4. This was accomplished by the worst umpiring ever witnessed on a ball field. Joe Diestel, a former member of the Nashville club, offi ciated, and his decisions were so rank, especially in the second inning, that Sneed, manager of the locals, openly charged him with living a thief, for which Sneod was fined £IOO. It is openly proclaimed here to-night that President Morrow, of the Southern League, who has his home in Nashville, purposely appointed Diestel as an umpire to favor Nashville, and that he is carrying nut liis instructions to the letter. Samuel T. Carnes, President of the Memphis club, telegraphed President Morrow to-night that Memphis would for feit her franchise in the Southern League before she would play another game with Diestel as umpire. The feeling here is strong against President Morrow and may result in tin' disbandment of the Southern League. Black and Baker were the battery for Memphis and Maul and Nicholas for Nashville. The score by innings was: Nashville 1 3 0 2 1 0 0 0 x— 7 Memphis 1 0030000 o—4 The attendance was about 500. Games Elsewhere.

The Railway Age has noticed as a singu lar coincidence that as soon as the members of tho Michigan Legislature were requested to return their railway passes they began to feel that the public interest demanded a re duction of freight and passenger rates, and that when, by an equally singular coinci dence, the railway conqianies sent them new passes the agitation of this subject was dropped. The Birmingham Air Line. President AA7 H. Searcey, of the Griffin, LaGrange and AA'estern railroad, has issued a letter announcing the company’s change of name to ‘"Tiro Birmingham and Atlantic Air Line Railroad Company,” as agreed upon at the Savannah meeting some weeks ago. In his letter Pres dent Searcey says: Under section lfl of the charter of this com pany the directors are authorized to extend the rood from any point named in its charter, by resolution of its hoard of directors filed in the office of the Secretary of Stare. In December last the directors passed resolutions providing for the extension of its road from LaGrange to Macon direct. This resolution, owing to the sickness of the President of the road, was not then brought to the attention of the people of Macon, though it is now known to them. The date of these reso lutions show conclusively that the road direct to Macon is no recent conclusion of the company. In order to cover the entire route from Birm ingham to Savannah by one charter and one company, the directors to day have passed a resolution to extend the road to Savannah. This will be filed at once with the Secretary of the State. Under this charter, as amended, the con solidated linos from Birmingham to tho sea will be operated. This road is a part of our system. It has the same President and will be operated under the same name—“ Birmingham and Atlantic Air Line."’ The Birmingham and Atlantic Air Line Rail road Company has no connection whatever with what is called the Macon. LaGrange and Birm ingham Railroad Company. While we both pro pose to build along the same route, from Macon through LaGrange to Birmingham, our com panies are entirely separate and distinct. Our road does not stop at Macon, but consoli dates with the Macon, Dublin and Savannah rail road, goes on to Savannah, making an air line from Birmingham through Macon to the sea. AVe ask our friends to rally to the Birmingham and Atlantic Air Line Railroad Company, which is now consolidated into one. line from Birming ham to Savannah under one President, Mr. Douglas Greene, of New York. AVe have raised $400,000 in subscriptions; have deeds to the mountain passes along the route. Our entire route from Birmingham to Savannah is sur veyed (except the gap from LaGrange to Ma con). Sixty miles oi the Macon. Dublin and Sa vannah read is already graded, and there is no doubt about the success of this enterprise. Opinion of a Leading Editor.

AT THE THEATRE- Miss Van Tassel Begins a Week’s En gagement in Savannah. Miss Cora Van Tassel and company opened a week’s engagement at the Theatre last night to a fine audience. She made her first appearance in the pretty drama, “Fanchon, the Cricket.” In the lighter passages she w as as chipper as a cricket, and in the graver she was serious and emotional. Her vivac ity pleased the audience, and she seemed to give complete satisfaction, being favored with liberal applause. The play went well, and the performance was away ahead of a good many attractions which charge 61. The support contains some clever actors. To-night Miss Van Tassel will appear in “Gip,” one of her brightest and best plays. It resembles “M’liss,” Annie Pixley’s old favorite play very much. Happy Workmen. The operatives of the Griffin Mills who drew a tenth part of the 6-50,000 prize in the last drawing of The Louisiana State Lottery on yesterday received a check for the same. The fortunate individuals are William C. Hammock, C. L. Hammock, George Hearn, F. M. Ballou and Parks Bowden, each or whom received $l,OOO. Each put in one dollar and purchased five tickets, one of them being the lucky number, 5i,899, and conse quently they are happy. They are all hard working, deserving men, and w 6 congratu late them on their good fortune. This is the largest prize that has ever been drawn in the city, although numerous smaller amounts have been received. This may feud to convince the skeptical that The Louisiana State Lottery always acts in good faith and actually bestows the prizes where drawn All of the above parties are mar ried men except C. L. Hammock, and we understand that he is now contemplating taking a chance in the matrimonal lottery. Mr. AY. C. Hammock, when asked how he reallv felt, when he found that he had actu ally drawn and received the money, prompt ly said: “I felt pretty fair, as you may im agine.” AA r arming up, he continued: “I felt like I did when I was paid off in leaving the Confederate service, and received my pay, unlike most, in good money. Yes, lam a Confederate veteran and fought under Gen. Beauregard, and now I have again earned my reward under him. Gen. Beauregard is a true man and a brave soldier, and 1 am glad that the money comes through him.”— Griffin ( Ga .) Xews, April 21. Mason & Hamlin Pianos. Both the Mason & Hamlin organs nnd pianos excel chiefly in that which is the chief excellence in any musical instinment, quality of tone. Other things, though im portant, are much less so than this. An in strument with unmusical tones cannot be a good musical instrument. Yet all are not good judges of such a matter. An inferior quality of tone will often please the uncul tivated ear lx-st, at first; though time and use will reveal the superiority of really good tone. Hence in selecting an organ or a piano it is safer to choose one from a maker whose reputation is thoroughly established, and whose productions are acknowledged to have superlative excellence, especially in this chief thing.— Boston Journal.
