8 FIVE MILLIONS IN BONDS. THIS CENTRAL'S NEW ISSUE PLACED AT 97 1-2. . Die Loan Obtained on Securities in Trust—What Will Be Done with the Money-$3,000,000 for the Goodwa ter Extension, $1,000,000 to Pay Off the Floating Debt, and the Rost for Banking- Capital. The Central railroad's recent Issue of $5,000.(XX) of "> per cent, fifty-year collateral trust bonds has ca-eated something of a stir in financial circles. The public has been anxious to know what the company proposes to do with the money. The bonds have been placed, through Vice President Hollins, with a New York syndicate at 1)7 1-2. President Alexander said yesterday that the principal object in issuing the bonds is to secure money to complete the Goodwater extension, to equip the road and to pay for the plant and terminal facilities at Birming ham. Somewhere about $3,000,000 is needed for this purpose. There, is a floating debt of $1,050,000, which was incurred in building the South Carolina roads, upon which there is a yearly interest charge of (5 jkji- cent. TO I’AT OFF THE FLOATING DEBT. Ono million dollars will be user) to pay off this debt and the remaining $1,000,000 will be used for banking purposes. The com pany expects to save l per cent, on C 1.000.000 in paying off the floating debt, which bears 6 per cent, interest with a 5 per cent. loan. The $1,000,000 to be used as banking capi tal will afford the compariv ample facilities, which it very much needs, to carry on a banking business. THE GOODWATER EXTENSION. The amount required to complete the Goodwater extension is considerably greater than was anticipated by the former man agement under which it was begun. The plan contemplated by President Raoul was to issue a first and second mortgage on the road, but this it was found would not fur nish money enough to complete the exten sion to Birmingham and secure terminal facilities there. The country through which the road runs is rocky and moun tainous, and even yet it is impossible to more than roughly estimate the cost of con struction. PLAN OF THE LOAN. In order to secure the money which the company needed for this and for other pur poses President Alexander conceived the plan of issuing collateral trust bonds, put ting up altogetner about $.5,800,1)00 in securi ties, including $2,000,000 of Ocean Steam ship Company stock and ?(XX),003 of Mont gomery and Eufaula stock, the bonds of file various roads composing the South Carolina system, and also a part of the stock of the Euinula and Clavton, West Point Point and Atlanta and Western Alabama roads. SECURITIES IN TRUST. These stocks are deposited with a trust company as security for the loan. The bonds were placed with a syndicate, which will prevent their being put upon the market. President Alexander considers the nego tiation ,a very favorable one. It will free the road from a burdensome floating debt and will furnish ample means to com plete and equip the Goodwater extension, which, when it is finished, will itself be en tirely free from debt, and will also enable the company to build and equip a number of other extensions which it has in view. FOR BANKING PURPOSES. Besides this it will put the company in a to carry on a paying banking ■business. The Georgia Railroad Bank, ■With a limited capital, is do ■fr : a fine business. and the HP ivannah bank,with a capital of $1,000,000, ■the management believes will yield a re- Hlurii that will more than pay for the in ■Kiiet input. Tiie issue of the new bonds ha* not at all ■affected the value of the stock, which is ■quoted at 124, where it has been for some P ' ■IMPROVED COTTON COMPRESSING. ■ Some Interesting Points About the New Method. I Sometime ago the Morning News made ■b brief allusion to the way of compressing ■cotton in India. In order to make the ■roblic more familiar with the process, the ■following facts are given, showing the ■merits of the so-called “Watson's Cyclone KTosges,” manufactured by Messrs. Fawcett, HtV-stoa & Cos., of Liverpool, England. I Each bale Viefore being compressed jiasses ■through a cleaner or beater, which not only ■cleanses the cotton thoroughly, but also ■jreatly improves the quality. All com K)ree#ed bales are of a uniform size in length (Pseud width. There are no claims to be settled with buyers for falsely packed, water packed cotton. The bales are completely covered with bagging, like a bale ot dry goods, therefore no loss of weight iu transit, either by theft or otherwise, and also less danger from fire. Each bale has twelve hoops, weighing no more than our usual bands. The carrying capacity of a ship is in creased by about 50 per cent, owing to the uniform size of the bales. Sbevedoiing expenses are greatly reduced, rs the bales can be stowed away by hand like brie-s, thus doing away with the present screwing process. Time of loading and unloading is greatly reduoed. There is great saving to railroads, as a box car of 40,(XX) pounds capacity can easily carry eighty bales. Although m India all bales arc compressed of the same weight, viz: 400 pounds, tiiere would lie no difficulty in compressing the American bales in their original packages just as they arc received bv the buyers. The length and width, however, would be the same, with only a slight \ dilation of the thickce-A of the bales, according to their weights. The Cyclone presses nro extensively u-e l hi India and Egypt, and have given general satisfaction, why shouldn’t this method of compressing meet with favor in this eoun tiy whore the most of cotton is raised. The Wine Room Case. The report of the injunction case of J. J. Builivau against R J. Dnvaait, In Sunday’s Nuws. was not full enough to give the facts exactly as they should have been given, and may create a wrong impression in regard to Col. Havant's course in the matter. Mr. Huilivan was a sub-tenant under Mr. Case, the late lessee of the Pulaski House. The latter surrendered his lease ;uid Col. Davant rented tho hole! to other parties. 51 r.

The Morning News is in receipt of an invitation from Coeur DeLeon Commandery No. 4, Knights Templar, Atlanta, to visit that city during the annual conclave of the Grand Commandery, which moot* in that city to-morrow. The Birmingham Press Club will enter tain the Alabama Press Association in that city on May 25. The Morning News is in debted to J. L. Watkins, Esq., President of the club, for an invitation to send a repre sentative to be its guest on the occasion. Coroner Dixon was called out on the Au gusta road yesterday morning to investigate the death of a colored child which was found dead in bed with its mother. Upon inquiry the Coroner was satisfied that the woman unconsciously lay on the child and smothered it to death. No inquest was h.Jd. Owing to the illness of Judge Adams Lib erty Superior Court did not convene yester day. 'fhe members of the Savannah bar who have cases for trial, were notified at the Savannah, Florida and Western depot just before the departure of the train, of the Judge’s illness and his inability to hold the court. The police made only four arrests yester day, two of which were ‘'drunks'’ and two for “disorderlies.” One of the latter was a sable-hued bride of but two brief months, whose ire was raised because her spouse paid too much attention to another charmer. She sailed into him, and now she mourns her ill-timed and unsuccessful attack. RIVER AND HARBOR NEWS. Gleanings Among the Shipping and Along tha Wharve3. The pilot boat John R. Wilder was hauled out on Willink’s marine railway yesterday for repairs. The steamer Silver Star, Capt. Post, brought over a large party of colored excur sionists from Beaufort yesteiday.

A bug similar in shape and color but smaller than the lightning bug or fire-fly has lately made its appearance in tfce Sa vannah liarbor, causing considerable Annoy ance to those working ’longshore and aboard vessels. These pests appeared some days ago quite suddenly and in immense num bers, but are now decreasing. A similar bug has been seen in past years, but it was seemingly harmless. The bug now visiting the port deposits wherever it lights a thin flnia that raises almost instantly an irritat ing and painful blister in the shape of the ex presence, and when mashed with the hand or linger a similar result is produced. Per sons sleeping aboard vessels have awakened in the morning nnd found themselves cov ered with blisters wherever their bodies were exposed. A number of these unwel come visitors have been caught and sent to the government naturalists at Washington for the purpose of ascertaining what they are, as no one here appears to have any knowledge of them. The Orphans’ Picnic. The St. Mary’s orphans’ picnic will be held * to-morrow at Mont gomery, uuder the auspices of the Catholic Knights of America, and promises to be an enjoyable affair to all who attend. The* lady managers have perfected arrange ments to furnish a warm dinner for 25c. leo cream, lemonade, hot coffee and tea and sandwiches will be sold at nominal prices.

MOBILEQUITSTHELEAGUE THE GULF CITY TEAM RELEASED AT MEMPHIS. Lack of Support and Bad Playing the Causes of its Withdrawal—Savannah Knocked Out of This Week’s Games— The League in Danger of Going to Pieces—Results of Yesterday’s Games. Savannah 6, Charleston 12. Nashville 9, New oilcans 11. Memptiis 31, Mobile 5. Yesterdays games closed the fifth series and unless Mobile's place is filled will prob ably wind up the Southern League. To-day is an off day in the schedule. To-morrow Mobile was to have played here and New Orleans at Ch&rlw-ton. Nashville and Mem phis lay off until May 27. Mobile’s with drawal from the league will disar range the schedule and will throw Savannah out of the foui 1 games which were to have been played here this week. Birmingham was ready up to a week ago to step in whenever tiiere was a chance, but received no encourage ment and released its team. The way things look now the league stands a pretty poor show of being able to pull through the rest of the season. President Haas, of the Savannah club, could not be seen last night after the news of Mobile's release was received, nnd it is not known what the club will do. With Mobile out of tr.e league, and Nashville and Memphis laying off. Charleston and New Orleans will lx- the only clubs left to fill in the games until May 27, when Nash ville is scheduled at Charleston and Mem phis here. Nashville’s defeat by New Orleans was the only surprise in yesterday's games, and that was accomplished through tho sulkiness of the Nashville players. The home club was beaten again at Charleston through costly errors and McArthur's wild and in effective pitching. The Usual Result in Charleston. Charleston, May 16.—The attendance at to-day’s game dropped down to about 800. McLaughlin, the locals’ second base man, was put in the box with a view to getting him in trim for the New Orleans game. It is generally understood that the club will not purchase anew battery, but will try and squeeze through with tho men they now have. McLaughlin's pitching was tolerably good. His delivery is very swift, although a little wild. McArthur was freely pounded. The game was very slow, the first two innings taking over one hour to play. The feature of the game, as far as the audience was concerned, was tho umpiring, which was generally denounced as "rank ‘ by the bleaching board crowd, notwith standing the fact that it was mostly ia favor of Charleston. McArthur was very wild, punishing two of the Charleston men. In the second inning he disabled Dallas, who had been put up to receive his delivery, and Pike had to be substituted for the rest of the game. The official score is as follows: CHARLESTON. A.B. R.

The features of the game was the hard hitting and splendid fielding of the locals. The visitors played as usual a wretchedly poor game. Memphis has made 119 runs in the four games played with Mobile. The score by innings is: Memphis 2 1 2 9 8 8 1 1 4—Bl Mobile 1 0 1 2 0 0 0 1 o—3 Nashville in a Tantrum. Nashville, Tenn., May 16.—Nashville, after thirteen successive victories, was de feated by Now Orleans to-day. Tho home club was iu bad humor. Manager Bradley and Director Joe R. Osborne had a misun derstanding which resulted in a slight per sona! difficulty, aud Reeder got in a big tan trum. Ho struck out every time he went to the bat, and made three of the four errors charged to Nashville. Maul was mad be cause he had to pitch, and consequently it was not strange that New Orleans won, though their playing was no better than in the previous games, nine emirs being charged to them. Tho crowd, however, seemed to enjoy the game, which was not so very tough after all. The score by in nings was: Nashville 2 1 00 4 1 0 0 I—9 New Orleans 2 1 1 4 0 2 1 0 x—it The batteries were Maul and Nichols for Nash ville an.! Powell and Wells for New Orleans. The I else hits were Nashville 10, New Orleans 15. To-day’s game closed the base ball season here for several weeks. Memphis and Nashville have a lay oil' until May 27, and then Nashville will make the rounds of other cities. Games Elsewhere.

The Gulf City Team Withdrawn From tho Southern League. Mobilf. Ala., May 16.—The President of the Mobile club has telegraphed Manager Kelly at Memphis to release the Mobile men and come home. The nine has had no chance to live, unless outside aid was oi>- tained. The club expected to get running expenses from the $65 a day guarantee, and to malm enough in the homo games to niret traveling and other heavy expenses. The home games brought in. however, but S4OO ou Sunday and SIOO lit each of the week day games. The nine managed to get out of town, but ran short of cash at Memphis. An appeal was made to Toby liart, of the New Orleans chib, ns bis ch!> ' • v to go out of the league if Mobile failed. Bob Kennedy and •■Billy” Sohimpf here were willing to taka the franchise if Hart would help, even though they saw but little profit in pospect. Hart came over to-tiav and said he would back up the club if the'Mobile City Council would permit games here on Sunday. The matter was to be laid before th<‘ Council in pet itiou, and in the meantime 8 100 was to lie raised and sent to Kelly by telegraph to night to pay the nine's expens’V. to Savan nah. It transpired that tlie SIOO was not raised, and any further attempt to hold up the club was abandoned. The real secret is that the niue would have to be reorganized in order to make it lit for anything as an at traction. This would take too much money, and even with money its success would be problematical. Around the Bases. Charleston lias released Droudy. Cartwright has disappointed the Nash ville people by his poor batting. It begins to look as if St. Louis will again capture the championship of the American Association. Tho Nashville and Memphis clubs will probably arrange some exhibition games lor •the coming week. Joluj Alee, second baseman of the Duluth club, was drowned in the Mississippi river, a few days ago, by being capsized in a boat. The Amateurs will piay the Guytons, of Guyton, at the Abercorn street grounds this afternoon. The game will be called at 4 o’clock. President Morrow lias refused to approve Kapnel's reputed contract with Memphis and has ret urned the papers to the Memphis management. New York has sold Geriiardt to the Met ropolitans. The release of the popular sec ond baseman has caused great dissatisfac tion among the patrons of the dub. Owing to the disbandment of the Birming ham team, caused by the removal of Man ager Alberts to Little Rock to take charge of the Southwestern League team at that place, the Nashville’s dates with tho Magic City dub are off.
