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

■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. Sul

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:

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,

MOBILE GOBS OUT.
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.
Kilroy is looked upon as the king pitcher
of the country this season. So far he has
outshone the great Dave Foutz, High-priced
Clarkson. Lightning Ramsey and all the
ciacks. Only a few seasons ago he was a
sbo-a-month twirler in the Southern
League.
Nashville has signed two new men, Car
penter and Nichols, of Philadelphia The
former is a catcher, and the latter’s regular
position is at the second base, although he
plays any position on the infield. Both
come highly recommended by Dunlap and
other well-known piayers.
