8 CENTRAL'S NEW LINES. THE GREAT SYSTEM RAPID!/? EX TENDING WESTWARD. The Work on New Branches in Georgia and Alabama-Three New Roads in Southeast Alabama-The Carrollton, Decatur Branch and the Good water Extension—New Steel Rails and Ten- Ton Engines—The Opening Up of a New Country. The Central railroad is pushing work on Its western extensions and General Manager Belknap gives a meet favorable account of Its progress. The contract for building the Blakely extension from Blakely to Columbia has been let and work will be begun next week. The extension from Clayton to Ozark has been surveyed, but the engineers have not yet worked up the details. It will not be long, however, before active building anil be begun there. A third extension, from Troy, Ala., to Elba, is now occupying a corps of engineers, who are laying out the route. These three lines will open up South eastern Alabama, which is now without a railroad outlet. AN UNDEVELOPED SECTION. The country is rich and fertile, and is very well settled up, considering the disadvant ages under which the settlers labor. The opening of it by the entrance of these three lines, which will connect it directly with a large port and thereby give it access to the markets of the world, will of course induce settlers to enter and develop its great resources. From these roads the company expects to get a larger amount of business than would be supposed by one who has not examined the country, but a number of reports concerning it have been received from reliable persons who have made a thorough investigation, and Mr. Belknap thinks that within eighteen months those little lines will be doing a large business. Another piece of work that is under con tract is the budding of a direct line from Ellaville to Americas. At present the road runs from Ellaville to Andersou, thence to Amerieuß, making a V, but that will be cut out and Americas will be given more direct communication through Buena Vista. THE NORTHWEST CONNECTION. Next week the rails will be sent out to be laid on the southern division of the branch that is to run from Carrollton to Decatur, or such other point as may be selected. This line is to connect with one to be built by the Illinois Central, and thus direct connec tion with the Northwest will be had. The bed is nearly ready for the rails as far as the Tallapoosa river. Just north of the Tallapoosa the work will be delayed for a time. There are two tunnels to be cut and a bridge to be built, but while that is Icing done the road will be building northward so that the w ork will be completed by the time the line is ready to be opened. INVADING THE MINERAL BELT. The line from Columbus to Goodwater on the Birmingham branch is to be equipped with heavy steel rails, and the light ones now in use will he used in building the three Southern Alabama branches. The reason that the heavier rails will be substitu ted is that w'hen the line is com pleted through to Birmingham there will be a good deal of mineral and coal hauled. To do that the company has ordered ten consolidated engines, which weigh, with their tenders, 185,000 pounds each. This road will make Savannah the coal and min eral port of the South Atlantic coast. The output of the mineral and coal sec tions of Alabama has increased enormously. Already it is far in excess of the consump tion, and it must get out to market, for it cannot lie idly there, and the railroad is just what is needed to relieve the miners of their surplus product and enable them to realize on their work. This, of course, will result in a more extensive development of the region and an enormous increase in the business of the Central railroad and the port of Savannah. AN EAST AND WEST SYSTEM. Mr. Belknap said that the Central is an east and west system. It* growth is wester ly. and it is thoroughly covering the region through which it runs. As one line shoot* out a little further west than any preced ing one has gone, branches hand extensions are built to fill in the territory Ishind that point, and thus the whole Southeast is being covered with a net work of the lines of this great Southern system. Already one line has i-eached Selma. Ala., and now the extensions spoken of above are being built, stretching out like fingers, reaching in every direction and opening country hitherto com ply tively undeveloped. QUEEN VICTORIA HONORED. Hags Displayed and Scotchmen Drink Her Health. Tbe flags on the British consulate and on the British shipping in port were displayed yesterday in honor of Queen Victoria’s fiftieth anniversary of her reign. The St. Andrew's Society celebrated the event last night. The British Acting Pro Consul Walter Robertson, Esq., was a guest of the society. A handsome collation was spread. ' Toasts were drank to the Queen's jubilee, to the Queen’s health and to the hope that she may yet live many years to rule her loving subjects. The national airs were heartily sung, and many were tbe expressions of pleasure that her Highness had been granted so many years Df prosperous rule. The Queen’s health was proposed by Maj. J. T. Stewart, President of the society, and was drunk standing, after which was sung “God Save the Queen.” The evening concluded with the chorus Auld tang Syne, the members of the society ioining bands in a circle around the table. “ RIVER AND HARBOR NEWS.

NOT WORKING A CORNER. Dan Talmage Sons & Co.’s Reply to Harmon & Cope. Dan Talmage Sons & Cos. have written a letter to the Morning News denying that they arti attempting to get up a comer in rice as stated by Messrs. Harmon & Cope in an interview last week. The following tele gram was received by the Morning News last night: New York, June 21.—Referring to the article in the Mornino News of June 19, headed “A Rice Corner Working,” we will say that we endorse every word of the Journal of Com merce in its issue of June 15, to wit: • The de mand failing away, market declined, stock spoiling, and we beg to ask what season of the year the so-called festive weavil and plodding worm carry on their destructive depredations, if not in summer, and whether this season is exceptional in this respect.” The interview in connection with the article which involves our name is incorrect in every essential particular. First, domestic rice is de clining from causes outside of and quite inde pendent of ns. Second, we are selling Patna und other rice only on a true commercial liasis. i. e., for profit, Third, we have not bought any rice in Savannah for over a month, nor is anyone now author ized to buy any rice for our account. Much as we regret it, we are compelled to say that dom.ctic rice is now too high, which assertion is conclusively proven hv the fact that its rival, the foreign product, is selling not only in the West, but also iu the South, even at your very doors. Dan Tai.m auk's Sons & (So. FUN BY THE FORDS. “Pink Dominoes” to be Presented To- Night and To-Morrow Night.

The man agement urgently requests that the uudience be seated by the time the performance is an ifbuuced to’begin. The Abercorn Street Collision. Mayor Lester investigated the Abercorn street car collision in Police Court yesterday morning. Robert Dooly, driver of the wrecked car, was charged with having ob structed the lire engine which collided with the car. Capt. Henry Smith, who was a passenger on the street oar. was the prin cipal witness. He stated that he thought the accident was unavoidable. He did not hear the engine gong, and did not think that the driverdid. Chief Fernandez stated that the Fire Department has the right of way in going to (li es, and all vehicles are expected to get out of the way. At the close of the investigation Dooly was dis charged. Conductor Lewis, who was struck in the side by the pole of the eugine, was, somewhat better yesterday. Fell From a Train C. H.

His Disappointment at the Delay in Shipping the New Racer. Com. Demere, of the Isle of Hope Yacht Club, received a telegram yesterday from New York stating that his new yacht will not be ready on Saturday as promised. The contract he has with Mr. William Fletcher, the builder, is that it should be reaily by June 15, and he received notice that it would lie delivered on the coming Saturday. He immediately communicated with Gen. Sorrel and made all arrange ments for bringing the yacht down on the City of Augusta, which ’is the only one of the steamers that can accommodate her. He employed two riggers to be on hand Tues day next to rig her up at once, and as soon as "he got her sails up he was going to make up a party and give the boat a trial. He has all his crockery ready and waiting and expected to havo everything nicely stowed away by Wednesday, but his hopes were dashed to the ground by the telegram that said she could not be delivered for a few days. He does not know what a few days mean to a shipbuilder, and is afraid that he will be cut out of all the July events. The new yacht has been entered for the Fourth of July race, and the Com modore intended to take her out on the club cruise and in the big race that will be sailed by the Charleston and Savannah clubs ou July 12, but iie is afraid he will miss them both. Mr. Demere is sure, however, that when she does arrive she will eclipse every thing in these waters. She is 35 feet fi inches long, 12 feet beam and 4 feet in depth of hold. The cabin is large anil roomy and fitted with everything that will add to’ comfort and convenience. There are four large bunks, and many ac commodations that other boats around liero lack. She will be full sloop-rigged, and her equipments will be complete. She will lie painted white outside unit mahogany inside, with all the stripes of gold and other rdjors that will make her pretty and attractive. The Commodore is very impatient to receive her, as he wishes to show what a really per fect yacht is. Local Personal. Chief of Police (Jen. R. H. Andersou re turned yesterday from the North. Capt.

A Lumpkin gentleman has received a let ter from a friend in Columbus who assures him that the Columbus Southern railroad is all right, backed by ample capital, and thAt contracts for grading will be let as soon as Mr. Jordan recovers from his sickness. If the Columbus Southern is built as surveyed it will carry trade from Columbus that she now controls, and after it is built the Cen tral will make competition so lively between Columbus and Albany that the new road won’t be able to pay running expenses. This is the prediction of a Lumpkin man. Railroad men are still puzzled over the recent decision of the Interstate Commis sion relative to what liberties they shall have under the rules relative to the fourth clause. They are mu<-b worried that they are not given a comprehensive construction of the law. There is a good deal of interest in the case against the East Tennessee, Vir ginia and Georgia on the charges preferred r>v the Western and Atlantic railroad. The officials of the former road say if they were guilty of any discrimination it was done through what thv believed to be iii com pliance with the interstate law. An Interesting Question.

The long cylindrical eggs of mosquitos are laid in little pockets which float on the sur face of standing water. In four weeks after hatching the insect passes through its trans formations and becomes an enemy to man’s comfort. The voting mosquito, in the larvae state, is aquatic, living like fish in ponds, lakes and stagnant wHer. It is fish-like in shape, with the head and adjoining parts much enlarged, and breaths* by means of a bunch of hairs radiating from a long tuber cle at the end of the body and connecting with the internal respiratory tubes. It re mains most of the time after coming from the egg at the bottom, feeding upon decay ing matter, and is thus very beneficial as a scavenger. Later it becomes very active, jerking up and down in the water, aided by a pair of broad caudal leaves. When ob served constantly about the surface of the water it is a 'sure sign it is about to assume the full shape and powers of a mosquito. The aquatic animal is seen to crawl on some substance floating on the the water—a leaf or bit of twig—give a twist or two, split its covering, ana in a short time put out wings and float away. The males, which may lie distinguished by their bushy horns or feelers in front of their heads, do not bite. It is the female who gives all the trouble—singing and biting. No poison-gland has yet been found in the mosquito's head, and it is generally thought that the inflammation and swelling follow ing the bite of mosquitoes are due to the irritation set up by their slightly barbed jaws, and perhaps the saliva is slightly acrid. Under the microscope the soft, plas tic foot of the mosquito is seen to be freckled. It may eohifort those who suffer from the attack of these iusects to know that mos quitoes have their personal troubles also, as the microscope shows vermin on them not infrequently. Though Shaken Like a Leaf By the most trivial causes, weak nervesare easi ly susceptible of invigoration, a term which also imports, in this instance, quietude. The ner vous have but to use Hostetler's Stomach Bit ters systematically to overcome that super sen sitiveness of the human sensorium, which is sub versive of all bodily comfort and mental tran quillity. and which reacts most hurtfully upon the system. The difficulty underlying this, as w ell as many other ailments, is ini perfect assiin ilation. no 1-ss than incomplete digestion of the food. In the discharge of both the digestive and assimilative functions, the Bitters are the most potent, the most reliable auxiliary. As the body regains vigor and regularity by its aid, the brain and nervous system are also benefited.
