8 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 . issue in their place a weather map showing 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 issued daily anti will lie posted tho same as the bulletins nro now. The change, while • j vo * v< *‘ a great deal more work and study on the part of tho observer, will fi. I ,’ " ,I >' simplify the H ading of the weather, the mapume Usuwl direct from the local tKi&g bfc “ in teuin 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. GLEANINGS FROM THE COURTS. What Was Done Yesterday Under the Roof erf the Court House. The trial of the damage suit of A. M. Flint vs. Tho City and Suburban Railroad Company was begun in the Superior Court yesterday, and the taking of the testimony was concluded. Flint last an eye while using a circular saw on Dec. 16, 1886, and he claims that the machine was not suited to the work, an'l he was not cautioned as to its defects. The defense sets up that the machine was what it should have been, and that the injury was the result of Flint’s carelessness. Messrs. dußignon & Fraser appear for the plaintiff ana J. J. Abrams for the defendant. In the ejectment suit of Reuben Dudley et al. vs. Laura Fields et al. a verdict was rendered for the defendants. The case was tried in the Superior Court. The grand jury of the Superior Court will meet tills morning at 10 o’clock. A verdict was taken for the plaintiff by consent in twelve eases in which Salomon Cohen was plaintiff, and W. H. Ferguson & Cos. defendants. The claims wore for carts and harness furnished the defendant when he began work grading for tho Savannah, Dublin and Western railroad. The judg ments aggregated $1,200 with interest from Dei 1 . 6, 1886. The rases were appealed from a Justice's court to the Superior Court.

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. Base Ball.

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 when darkness stopped the play.

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.

About 1 o’clock this morning the screams of a woman attracted a crowd to the corner of South Broad and East Broad streets. It, was supposed at first that a murder was in progress, judging from tlie screams, but it was learned that a young negro had torn open the drees of one of the inmates of a disreputable house and taken the woman’s money.

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.

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. SUMMER GOODS.
