HIE NEW WESTERN ufl
talk with dr. west on
CONDITION AND PROSPECTS.
the Entire Route Between Birming
ham awl Savannah Located- The En
terprise to Be Pushed to Completfon
The Only Opposition Met With at the
t)oors of Savannah-How the Com-
pany Proposes to Overcome It.
I)r. .1. A. A. West, who is the moving
spirit in the Birmingham and Atlantic Air-
Line railroad, is in the city for the purpose
of settling the route between Savannah and
the Ogeecheo river and locating an entrance
into the city. Dr. West said last night that
the Alabama and Georgia divisions have now
been consolidated and the entire line is un
der one company and ono management.
The line has been located from
Birmingham to within a few miles of Sa
vannah, passing through Roanoke, Louina,
Ashland, Talladega, LaGrange, Thomaston,
Macon and Dublin. Two construction
camps have been established between Sa
vannah and Macon, and another would have
been established yesterday but for the bad
weather.
The road when completed will give an air
line to Birmingham, 135 miles shorter than
any other line, running through a country
that will compel only light grades and no
sharp curves.
GOOD RETURNS ASSURED.
The timl>er interests lying in the eastern
division of the road and the agricultural in
terest further west will alone support it
after it is in operation, not to speak of the
immense amount of mineral products that
will come from Birmingham. Besides
that, it will huve air-line con
nections through to the great
Northwest by means of tho Gulf railroad
that will afford a direct route to Kansas
City. Dr. West mentioned the fact that
the road will have an extensive territory all
its own; a territory lying between the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia and the
Georgia Paclilo on the south and the Central
on the north.
ONLY GpOD WILT, WANTED.
The affairs of the company, Dr. West
says, are in excellent condition, and tho
men now behind the enterprise have money
and are willing to spend it in building the
road. All they ask is the co-operation of
the people who will share with
them the advantages to lie derived from it.
This has been freely extended by the people
along the line except at this end. Hero,
despite the immense profit that would result
from the building of the line, the officers
say there are some people who are pursuing
such a course in the matter of tlie right
of way as is calculated to involve the pro
jectors in a multitude of difficulties.
EXORBITANT DEMANDS. --
A numl>cr of people who own land
through which the road would pass are
holding absolutely worthless marsh land at
fabulous prices. One man who has a farm
just tho other side of the Ogoechee river
had granted the right of way over a part of
his land and on Friday he stood watching
the workmen grading over the remain
ing portion without a thought
of stopping them. On Saturday he came into
the city, and, as Dr. West expressed it, fell
into the hands of a lawyer. The result was
that a messenger was sent to his farm order
ing work stopped, and tho doctor was in
formed that the company could have the
right of way for $3,000, one-half cash and
one-half instock.
TO FREEZE THEM OUT.
Dr. West reports daily to the officers of
the company in New York, and he said it
was exceedingly distasteful for him to have
to report to them that the landowners
around Savannah are throwing such
obstacles in the way of the work, and to
avoid it he has telegraphed for a corps of
engineers, who will lie in the field within
forty-eight hours surveying anew route.
He says that if nothing else can bo done,
the railroad company will avail itself of the
very explicit laws that govern rights of
way, condenm the land, and if the owners
demand exorbitant prices let a jury deter
mine a fair valuation. He says that as the
General Manager of the company, he is
prepai-ed and willing to give just and fair
compensation for any damages done by the
building of the line, but he will not submit
to extortion.
While here he proposes to ask the City
Council to advise him what streets he can
have for terminal facilities.
CHARLES S. BLUN’S SENTENCE.
He Must Pay a Pine of SSOO, or Go to
Jail lor Six Months.
Charles S. Blun was taken from jail and
■before the Superior Court, at 3:30 o’clock
yesterday afternoon, to receive his sentence
for the misdemeanor of keeping a gambling
bouse, of which he was convicted some time
ago. Solicitor General dußignon stated to
the court that he had been informed that
Blun had been brought back and was in
court, and he moved that sentence be passed.
Judge Adams said that this ease is different
In some rejects from others that have
been before him. He said this in order
that his action might not be taken as a
precedent. It appeared that Blun was the
manager or director of a club organized for
the purpose of gambling. He did not know
that Blun was a professional gambler, and
did not believe that ho was. Judge Adams
then ordered him to stand up, and sentenced
him to pay a fine of SSOO, the alternative to
be six months in jail. Blun was taken back
to jail, but it is understood that the line will
be paid.
ROBBED OP THE FAMILY PLATE.
Mr. D. I. Mclntyre’s Silver Stolen While
He was Out of the City.
Mr. D. I. Mclntyre and his family re
turned to the city a few days ago, after
being away for some time, and on their
return they were surprised to find the
bouse empty of all the silver they had left
behind them. Mr. Mclntyre inquired of the
cook, a negro woman named Vv ilson, who
had been in the house during his absence,
where the silver was, but she was, or pro
fessed to lie, entirely ignorant of its where
abouts. The case was reported to the
police, and they instituted a search which
resulted in finding all tho silverware at the
pawn broker’s, where it was pawned by
Robert Wilson, tho husband of the cook.
Mr. Mclntyre at once swore out a
warrant but Wilson was not found
until yesterday when he called at the
residence of Mr. Mclntyre, on Charlton
street between Price and Habersham.
As soon as he was seen a telephone message
was sent to the barracks, but by the time
the police got there be had left." He called
again later, however, and that time Mr.
Mclntyre caught and held him t ill n police
man could be brought to take him to Jail.
NEW WEATHER MAPS.
Tho Signal Service to do Away With
Tissue Paper Bulletins.
On July 1 tho Signal Service will do away
altogethe r with the tissue paper bulletins
which it has issued heretofore, and will

the temperature, barometric readings,
velocity and direction of the wind, rainfall
and general state of the weather at every
station in the JJnftpd States. Tho barome
ter and storm areas are shown by lint's on
the map, so that at a glance the exact,
condition of tho weather all over
the country may tie told. The maps will he

W HALF A FOOT OF RMHMfEjB
Mae of the Heaviest Rainfalls Ever
in Savannah.
Tne al iikSw rainfall since Sun
day morning is nnKNMIM v iost known
in Savannah since the signal service was es
tablished. During the twenty-four hours,
since 6 o’clock Sunday night until (i o’clock
last night, tho fall was a little over
inches. The total since Sunday morning is
very nearly 7£ inches, almost an inch more
than the average for tho entile month in
fifteen years. The rainfall since Juno lis
!,v i inches, hardly 3 inches less than tho
total for the five months from Jan. Ito
May 30. January's rainfall was 3.7
inches, February's 3. (XI, March’ 7.6,
April 3.03, and May’s 2.73. Tho
average daily rainfall for June since
the signal station was established has been
3.3-1 inches. Yesterday it was inches, a
little over 3 inches above the average.
It was mining at daylight yesterday and
it kept it up all day, pouring at times and
then slacking for a row minutes
only to come down again in tor
rents. The streets were overflowed, and
sidewalks and street car tracks in many
places were submerged. Cellars and base
ments were flooded, and streets in the ex
treme eastern and western part* of the city
were considerably washed. The sewers
were tested to carry off tho surplus water,
and several iirenks occurred—ono nt York
and Drayton streets, ono at Barnaul
and Taylor streets and another at
Broughton and West Brood streets. Supt.
Gurry, of the street force, inspected the
sewers in the afternoon to see that they
were all right and discovered tho breaks.
The work of repairing them will begin at
once.
At 11 o'clock last night tho rain had lot
up almost altogether, but at midnight it
began again. Tho indications from tho 11
o’clock bulletins were for a continuance of
ram to-day, but lighter than yesterday.
Tho barometric conditions remain un
changed, with a low area over the Gulf and
a high area north and northwest of here,
centering over New York.
Altogether the indications i>oint to a ces
sation of tho rainfall in tho next forty
eight hours. It is already one of the most
remarkable on record. In June, 1870, there
was a fall of 18 inches, which was the
heaviest ever recorded here. Thus far the
E resent weather only foots up a fraction over
alf that amount. The atmosphere yester
day wus considerably cooler than it was
the day before, and last night there was a
very perceptible fall in mercury. The
Signal Service Indications for to-day are:
Local rains, slight changes in temperature
and winds generally easterly.
The weather on the river and at Tybee
was thick all day. Outside of the city on
tho truck farms the rain soaked into the
ground as fast, os it fell, and onlv in a few
places were there ponds of water left stand
ing. Tho ground was very dry, and to the
truckers the rain is a welcome relief from
the dry and scorching weather that lias pre
vailed so long.

YACTHTING REGULATIONS.
The Savannah Yacht Club’s Action in
Regard to Proposed Changes.
The Savannah Yacht Club held a meeting
yesterday morning for the purpose of con
sidering certain proposed changes in the
sailing regulations. The first business taken
up was a motion to strike out Rule 111,
which provides that every boat sailing in a
race must carry at least ono club member.
The stewards were desirous of hav
ing that rale changed, and
at a meeting he’d some days
ago to make preliminary arrangements for
the Fourth of July regatta they stipulated
that if the club consented, that rule would
be suspended, but the club did not agree
with the stewards, and it was decided to
maintain and enforce the regulation. The
classification of boats was changed, and
there are now only three classes first cabin
yachts; second, open yacht: third, round
bottom and diamond bottom boats. This
leaves the mosquito fleet out or compels tho
flat bottomed boats to sail in the third-class.
A resolution was adopted forbidding any
boat having a sign or advertisement on its
sail competing for a prize.

At Detroit—This afternoon New York
and Detroit had played two innings, the re.
suit being two to nothing in favor of the
home team. In the third inning Gore wits
taken sick and the visitors endeavored to re
tire him in favor of Brown, who was to lie
used to catch Tlemuin. The Detroiters
, claimed that the rules required that a play
er should lx: injured before such amove was
admissible, and Umpire Valentine sustained
thoir objection, although New York claimed
the right and expressed a willingness to
play with eight men. The “Giants” appear
ing to insist on playing Brown, and not
coming to time in the reqired time, the
game was called nine to nothing in favor of
Detroit. .As so little of the game had been
played the local maiittgcmemont secured the
consent of Manager Murtrie to play another
championship's game in the time remaining,
not wishing to disappoint the crowd. No
extra admission was charged, although the
visitor were (slid tho full sum they would
have received for a game at another time.
This second game was won by the New
Yorks with ease in seven ami a naif innings

Base Ball Postponed.
The game between the Orientals and War
rens, which was to have been played yester
day afternoon, was postponed until Thurs
day afternoon on account of the bad con
dition of the grounds. Purchasers of tickets
have been notified that the tickets will be
good for Thursday.
The Regatta on the “Fourth.”
Tho embargo placed on Music House
boats by the Savannah Yacht Club, we
presume refers to tlie yacht “Vivian,”
which so outsailed every lmat in her class in
the last race sailed under the auspices of the
Isle of Hope club.
The owner of the fast yacht does not
worry about being debarred from entering
his l,oat, for while confident that ho could
have scooped in tho prize in his class, the
magnitude and Ulxuality of the club is not
such that ho will worry much over not cap
turing its prize.
The L. A B. S. M. 11. hnve always gone
to the front on everything they have under
taken, and while boat racing is something
they know very little aliout, they desire to
congratulate the owner of the lmat, which
with their name on her mainshoet, so out
sailed and distanced any boat in her class.

time on the fine barge Warsaw, and can be

Charleston Happening's.
There were 31 deaths iti Charleston last
week, eight whites and twenty-three
colored.
A part of the skull and some of the brains
of a negro were found on the track of the
Northeastern railroad immediately in front
of the depot at Bonueau’s stnt’on on the
morning of Sunday, June 19. The mystery
is that no other signs of the accident, or foul
play, whichever it may be, have been dis
covered. It is supposed that a negro who
had recently come to Bonneau’s for work
had fallen asleep on the track and was run
over by a passing train. What became of
his body is still a mystery.
To-day is known in the South Carolina
calendar as “Carolina day,” being the 111th
anniversary of the famous battle of Fort
Moultrie, a Iwttlo in which two prominent
historic personages took an active part—
Sergt. Jasjier and Sir Pater Parker, K. C.
B. No especial programme has been laid
out for the eelebration of the anniversary in
Charleston. The Palmetto (iuard, however,
has earned the right to celebrate “Carolina
day” by reason of its patriotic work in
erecting a monument at White Point Garden
to the memory of Sergt. Jasper and his
historic feat.

I am in an uncomfortublo store,
Broughton street,, directly opposite Ludden
& Bate's Music House. Of course, as soon
as I can, shall remove to my old quarters. I
feel like a fish out of water. Just think, I
have received an immense stock of solid
silver ware, and have no room to show it,
consequently I havo to make room. But
howf By selling it as quickly as possible,
to accomplish it, f have put the priitrs down
to almost rent, Hence anybody in need or
not in n<-cd of such goods have an opport u
nity which is seldom offered. M. filern-

GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS.
Matters of Money and Management
About Various Lines.
The Nashville and Knoxville road is being
graded from Watertown, Tenn.
Columbus expects to have a fast train
from Atlanta via the Columbus and West
ern next week.
Work has been commenced on the Nash
ville, Florence and Sheffield road from the
Tennessee State line to Sheffield, Ala.
The Kansas City, Port Scott and Gulf
Company, with whose line the Central will
connect "at Birmingham, has ordered 500
new freight cars and 19 new locomotives
for the Current river branch and the Bir
mingham and Springfield lines.
Floors to Bridges.
A law just enacted in New York provides
that from Nov. 1 floor systems shall be
maintained on all bridges so constructed as
to support a derailed locomotive or ears,
with guaid rails or timbers so constructed
as to guide the wheels in case of derailment.
Guard rails shall be maintained upon the
approaches to all bridges. The existence of
such safeguards would probably have pre
vented a number of very serious accidents.
Free Baggage Delivery.
At a recent meeting of the Vanderbilt
general passenger agents at Saratoga it was
agreed that, commencing July 1, all the
Vanderbilt lines will check baggage free to
and from the residences of passengers be
tween any of the following important
cities: New York, Boston, Albany, Sara
toga, Buffalo, Cleveland, Cincinnati, In
dianapolis, Chicago and St. Louis. The
passenger purchases his ticket at the regular
rate, and the company’s agent calls at liis
residence, checks his baggage, and deli vers
it to him again at any specified place within
the limits of the city to which he is destined.
This is an important and commendable ad
vance in railroad passenger travel, and wall
doubtless have to be followed by other lines.
It will be rather severe on hackmen and
transfer companies, but it will be a great
accommodation as well as an economy to
the passenger whose wav lies from one of
the above cities to anotner. Several lines
have talked of adopting this system of free
baggage delivery, but the only points be
tween which it is now in vogue are New
York and Philadelphia. The Pennsylvania
railroad adopted it between those two cities
some months ago.
He Swears No More.
From the Minneapolis Journal.
There is a young married man living on
Hennepin avenue who is a very good fellow,
but he has fallen into the habit of using pro
fanity almost constantly. His charming
wife tried a dozen ways to break him of the
habit without success. Finally she decided
upon a plan. He came home the other
evening and remarked:
“It's been a h—- of an uncomfortable
day, hasn’t it?”
‘‘What in h has been the matter with
it?’’ asked the wife, coolly.
Ho looked as if he had been struck by a
cyclone. Then he expressed his wonder
with an oath. His wife repeated it. It re
quired just two days to break the young
man of the habit, for his wife repeated
every “swear-word” he used in her presence.
Now he doesn’t swear even when lie misses
a nail and strikes his finger with a hammer.
A Poor, Weak Sister,
who is suffering from ailments peculiar to
her sex, dreading to go to a physician, but
knowing she needs medical help, will find,
in Dr. Pierce's “Favorite Prescription,” a
preparation which will give her strength
and new life through the restoration of all
her orgaus to their natural and healthy ac
tion. It is the result of many years of study
and practice bv a thoroughly scientific
•physician, who lias made these troubles a
specialty. To lie had of all druggists.
