ft THE CENTRAL REPAIRED. HOW THE GAPS MADE BY THE FLOOD WERE CLOSED. The Road Now lu Perfect Order Gen eral Manager Belknap's Account of the Work of the Freshet—The Wash out at Ocoueo and How the Road Was Rebuilt. Mr. M. S. Belknap, General Manager of the Central railroad, lias now got the rood in order again and started all trains to run ning on schedule time. Mr. Belknap said yesterday that the Hoods had subsided, so that there was no further danger from washouts. An enormous amount of work was required to put the roadbed in a safe condition for traffic, and it was done in a remarkably short space of time. The only serious break was the one at Oconee, previously spoken of iu the MORNING News. Mr. Belknap left Savannah for that point on Tuesday last and reached Oconee after traveling all the way around by Waycross, Albany ami Maoou. As his special train got within a few miles of Oconee he found that the track was submerged, anti for live miles the train ran through water. “It was a dangerous run," said Mr. Belknap, “but we Knew that one of two things would happen: if the trad: was there we knew we would go through all right, and if it was not, we would go in a hole." So he took his chances and got through safely. THE GAP AT OCOf.ZK. Arriving at Oconee, he pound that about 800 feet of the roadbed had been washed away. The trackmen said that no work could bo done because the water was too drop and the river was running t swiftly, but Mr. Belknap found a darkey who consented to try and wade the river to find its depth. After be had relieved himself of his surplus clothing lie started across, using a pole to steady him self. Two or three times those on the bank thought he would be swept away, but he succeeded in making the opposite bank without going deeper than his waist in water, hunting that the water was no deeper than that Mr. Belknap at once started the men at work cribbing the road and then telegraphed to Macon and liul a train load of laborers scut down to constitute a night force. When the day men knocked off Wednesday even ing the night men were ptit_ to work and they kept at it until morning when the day force resumed. BY THE LIGHT OF TORCHES. Mr. Belknap said: “It was n curious eight to see that immense force of men working there at night. Torches were placed at intervals along the track and be tween and among them moved the men from one point to another, building up the road through the water. They were a busy lot and did more work than any other night force I ever saw. It is a very difficult thing to keep laborers at work at night because they will sneak off into the bushes and go to sleep, but they could not do that tbis/time. There was wa ter on both sides of the road, and we had a braise watchman ou one end,and a guard on the ether, and we had them hemmed in. They could have slept ow the side of the embalm ment. but they were afraid of rolling down into the water.” The next day nt 4 o'clock the road was in order and tlie trains were started. THE ROAD FULLY REPAIRED. This flood has rather surprised the Centra) managers. for they thought that the water ways on tlye road would give free outlet to all the water that would ever lie poured down at one time. No damage would have been done if the rains had been tlrst in one section, then unother, but the rain was so general and so heavy that enormous amount of drainage made every gully a creek and every creek a river, and the volume of water that had to lie con tended with was something immense, but prompt action has quickly put the rood in order, and no further interruption of travel will occur. The trestle which wus washed away at Ogeechro Friday night has been re paired. It had been weakened but blocked up for temporary use, and the river swept away the blocks and the trestle with them. It was a small job, however, to put iu anew trestle and close the last gap in the line. A BLACK FIEND’S BRUTALITY. William Jackson's Alleged Aaeault Upon an Idiot Girl. Constable John Burke went to Monteith station yesterduy and brought iu a negro man named William Jackson, who is chargei with a most brutal assault upon a negro girl named Ida Heard, who is de formed, an epileptic and an idiot. The charge is that on May 21 Jackson took her into the forest to get some wood for her to take back to her mother, and while she was there he committed a fiendish ourage and tore the girl's liody frightfully. The matter Invaino known, and Justice Vun Winkler, of Mon teith, issued a warrant for his arrest, but not being able to get Ins man down here he re quested Justice Russell to make out a war rant. This Justice Ruiswll did, and yester day he sent Mr. Burke up to make the arrest. Justus the is instable reached Mon teith station Jarkson entered the de|sit, and he was promptlv nabbed. Ida Heard is so badly deformed that she walks on her hands and feet both. She is afflicted most unfor- Umatcly and may die from the injuries in flicted upon her by Jackson, who is a married mun, with u wife and seven chil dren. • TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT. Mr. Wilensky’a Unsatisfactory Expe rience In Legal Warfare. Mr. Wllensky, who keeps a small store on the cornel-of Wheaton and Perry streets, has lots of trouble with a <-olored tenant of hi* and a small boy employed by the man.

AN INSPECTING TOUR The Plint Railroad Officers Making Their Annual Trip. The annual inspection of the Charleston and Savannah Railroad was finished Fri day. Tlie officers of the Plant system thor, oughly inspected the line, mile by mile, and were were satisfied with the result. Monday the inspectors will start out on the Savannah, Florida and Western line and will be gono some ten days, visit in# and thoroughly inspecting nil tlie divisions of tho system. They travel over the road very slowly, at about twelve miles per hour, and every portion is carefully scrutinized. Every switch, frog, and sid ing is seen to, anil few things escape their vigilant eyes. The reports made are all systematically arranged, the final compile turn shows the exact condition of every mile of the rood. The inspection ear is an open one, provided with a cow-catcher in front, and is pushed ahead of the engine. In this way every part of tho road-bed is subject to their scrutiny, and any thing out of the way rarely escapes notice. The different portions of the Inspection is divided up as follows: On lino and service—Messrs. H. W. Reed. Roadinaster of tile Savannah. Florida and Western, J. W.

THE VESTIBULE TRAINB TO BE RUN SOUTH NEXT WINTER. From' l Ne\v York to Jacksonville in Thirty-Ono Hours -Sleepers, Dining Cars, Smokers and Buffet Cars all in One Train-No Noise, No Dust, No Discomfort—The Latest Invention in Railroad Accommodations. The famous vestibule trains that will run over the Atlantic Coast Line next season, connecting New York aud Jacksonville, Fla, will indeed boa triumph in railroad improvements and it credit to the system that adopted it Tho Southern travel will, doubtless, greatly appreciate such efforts for their comfort and pleasure mid the re sult will be a large increase of South ern tourists. Those trains are anew feature m railroad service and show what results inventions of this kind may attain. This will be the most luxuriant train of cars ever known, being furnished with sleeping accnmnionations, dining, smoking anil bath rooms, and will be tho first of its kind in the world. Im agine a Pullman car drawn out to the full length of a six-car train, and a slight idea js obtained of what those trains will be. The ears themselves combine all the ele gant and luxuriant appointments of the famous Pullman (lorlor cars. Every essen tial or convenience for tho comfort and pleasure of the traveler Is supplied. LUXURIANT APPOINTMENTS. Instead of the usual platform at each end of the ear the sid< and top of the cars are extended, so to speak, and connrot closely, a (latent arrangement of rubber cushions, fitting on steel faces, producing a dust-proof joint ami at the same time arnuiging for the swing of the car while rounding curves. Tho outside appearance of the train is simply that of one long car, wit/i the usual steps at intervals. The interior finish is superb, and nothing is neglected. The en tire train is carpeted throughout its full length, and a person walking through would have no idea of its being composed of separate cars. But anyone looking for the entrance to a car of this character would look in vain if he was seeking for an open platform. Instead of that on ascending the three stops the passenger finds a door before him. Pressing an electric button at his side the door flies open and a polite and attentive porter stands before him, ready to cater to all his wants. It is certainly a decided ad vance iu railroad inventions and a great in novation ovor the old style and worthy of the great system that always stands in Ad vance in seeking the comfort, convenience, pleasure and safety of its passengers. COSTLY BUT COMFORTABLE. Two of these these trains are now build ing, at a cost of $1(10,000. They will be built regardless of expense, and they will combine all th modern improvonvmts and inventions, and will lie the finest cars in every respect ever constructed. Each train will comprise six oars, a baggage car, smoker, dining-room car and three sleepers. Tlie smoker will lie handsomely finished find well fitted up for the comfort of users of the weed. A well filled library is one of the new features added, and maqy other things that go to promote the comfort of travelers are pro vided. The dining-room will be the feature of the train and the cuisine will be of the liest. The menu will Ue ample and it is the boast of the railroad people that they in tend to furnish meals equal to the best hotels of New York and other cities. One car will run from New York to Weldon, N. C., and another from Charleston to Jacksonville. Tills will furnish fresh sup plies all the while. The buffet, of course, will contain i/mple refreshments, solid and liquid, for al) so inclined. KO DEADLY STOVEB. The sleepers, of course, will be superb in every respect. In the day time an arrange ment is provided whereby each seat can Vie made a eonf]iartnient by itself, allowing the strictest privacy and quiet to parties. In tho make up of the train the railroad people again show their desire to make these the most popular trains in America. The bag gage car will come next after the tender, thou the three passenger ears, fol lowed by tho dining room car and the smoker. Thus all odors from those cars will be avoided. The en tire train will be heated by steam, aud lighted by the electric light. In sum and substynce they combine the maximum of case, comfort and pleasure, and the mini mum of dust, dirt and danger. The con templated schedule is a fast, one, too. Leav ing New York at about IbilO in the morning, the train will reach Savannah at 11 o'clock the next morning, and Jacksonville, Fla., at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, making tho entire distance in about thirty one hours, a remarkable record even in this age of fast trains and quick time. These trains will Isi placed on tho route Jan. 1 next and will make a now era in Southern railroad enterprise. They will be run tri weekly, leaving each place Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, thus giving ample facilities. IMPROVING THE ROADS. The management of the Savannah and Charleston and the Huvaunah, Florida and Western railroad are making every effort to have their roods put in the best condition possible The Charleston line is being relaid with 00-pound steel rails. The wooden bridges on both roads are being replaced with iron ones of the latest approved form. Oil the Charleston road two iron bridges are lieing placed In position, one over the Asha poo river and the other ovor Rautowle’s creek. On the Savannah, Florida and Wostorn line a five-span iron structure is taking the place of the present wooden bridge oxer the Alapaha river. Five large and modem locomotives are now tieing built for the system by the Rhode Islam 1 Locomotive Works, two of them haviug six-foot drivers and made extra strong otherwise. These latter will rush the vestibule trains through. Altogether it looks as if the Plant system hail determined to break up the so-called “Western tourist travel,” and had played its trump caitl first, by presenting th e extra ordinary inducements t/i the traveling pnlr lie. Certainly if anything would uttrnct the tourist travel, tho vestibule train with idl its attendant comforts and ease would lie the thing to do it. THE LAST OF THE SEASON. Tho Fords Will Repeat "Saratoga” for the Knights of Pythias. Oil Monday night the Fords will repeat their greatest hit, “Saratoga," for the bene fit of tho building fund of tho Knights of Pythias. The Building Committee re quested the Fouls to give them a peform unee, and s|iecitied “Saratoga” as the play they would prefer to have, because it is one the brightest and most entertaiu iug pieces the association has ever put on the hoards. It lias been given three times this year with tho greatest success, and it is the play that won for the Fords so many laurels at Moron. This will be tho last play of the season, and tlie Kuightu have assured tlie Fords that their last per formance shall be given to standing room only. Baso Ball Notes. On Monday the Cadet* and Jasper Greens clutis will play a game of baso Jialt, a part of the military series. The third game for the championship of the city between the Orientals and Aina tours will be played at the park Tuesday afternoon. Both clubs will urreonit their strongest teams. The Orientals will have a new twirler, und they expect him to pull down the hitherto invincible Aninteurs. The management will have n brim, bund in nUendmicc to discourse music.

Yesterdays Races at Montgomery a Perfect Success. Tho weather yesterday at Montgomeiy was fine,and the jolly yachtsmen were jubi lant over the prospect for fine sailing, The breeze was stiff all day, and about all the yachts could stand. They all made good time, and tho accidents were few ami far between. The Etta’s hal liards broke at one time during the race, Lit that only caused a temporary delay. The Nina, which was entered in the fifth dm/. race, broke her centreboard when off the jetties at the Savannah, Florida and Western railway wharves, and was there fore withdrawn from the race. The time allowance was six seconds per foot jwr mile. The i-ourse of the first and second classes was from the Montgomery wharf to Pine Island black buoy and return, a distance of sixteen nautical miles. Third class from the Montgomery wharf around a stake Imat off Cornfield creek: returning, around a stake boat off J. B. West’s bath house,back around a boat off Petti Guarf and return to finish at lino of starting at wharf, a total distance of twelve nautical miles. Fourth and fifth classes, Montgomery wharf around the stake bont off Cornfield creek and return, a <listance of eight nautical miles. The Madonna was the winner of the first class, heating the V’ivian, the second boat, by 2m. 225. The race between tlie Jennie S. and Zin|;a was again the absorbing event of the day, and again the two boats sailed over their course in within a few seconds of the samo ti tne, the Jennie 8. winning by only 2D seconds.

For the past ten years or more the entire county labor has been expended in the drainage of the eastern and southern por tions of the county, to tho absolute exclu sion of tin* western, which contains in a largo degree the most valuable of all the taxable property of the county, particu larly that portion situated north of the Central railroad and immediately west of the city and the Ocean .Steamship Com jiany’s wlvirf. where the Vale Royal Mills md the Cotton Beed Oil Mills have located their splendid sites, and expended large sums in the conduct of extensive enter prises.

Tho Old Tar Borrows It at Thunder bolt Because He Lost Eis Own-He is Caught but Escapes Again With tho Prize- Ho Defied tho Police but is Captured at Last. Barney Keys played the role of a practi cal joker yesterday, ussistod by “Johnny Barleycorn,” much to tho disgust of the victims, a couple of Savannah gentlemen who were out for a rido. Early in the morning a well-known Broughton street merchant and an acquaintance hired a fine turnout of Mr. Gloason and drove down to Thunderbolt. On arriving there they hitched their horse and went into the hotel for a lunch. Barney Keys, the same inimit able Barney who attained such notoriety by the Smith-Cassidy case, sat on a neigh boring porch and as the gentlemen drove up exchanged greetings with them. No sooner had they sat down to their lunch, however, than the wiley Barney hastily jumped down, untied the horse and stepping into the buggy drove off at a furious pace to ward the city. The lunchers were attract ed to the window by the noise and their powerful emotions may lie imag ined, when they saw their rig disappearing in the distance in a cloud of dust. Losing no time in unavailing “regrets” they rushed out, and borrowing Mr. Wil son’s horse and wagon started in pursuit. Aston chase is always a long one, and Bar ney, who is an old tar fully realized this and grinned at their plight. On arriving in tho city Barney drove around to Bay and Magazine streets, arriving there just as Officer Walsh, of the city police, arrested a young negro. A number -of his turbulent companions were around, and the officer re quested Constable Coleman and Barney to accompany him to the barracks. Mr. Cole man jumped into the buggy and they drove down. Arriving there they went in to see the prisoner arraigned and then came out. As Barney reached the sidewalk and was preparing to get into the carriage the two owners of the rig drove up. On seeing before them the cause of all their trouble, one of them forgot his discretion and assailed the “borrower” of their team in language more powerful than polite. As it happened, the Sergeant on duty beard the unbecoming language and ordered Officer Walsh to arrest the party. This he did and took him into the station house. situation l>egan to look complicated, and onlookers say Barney seemed to greatly en joy it. The other gentleman then jumped out and hastening in informed the Sergeant of the true inwardness of affairs, and the prisoner was released. Barney saw the course things were taking, and, fearing a storm, set all sail and scudded up South Broad street. As the others emerged from the sallyport they saw their missing team being driven away again. The Sergeant was not disposed to be left, however, and he directed mounted officer Townsend to cap ture the “pirate.” The officer set off at a gallop, and Barney, hearing the noise, glanced behind, and see ing his pursuer applied tho whip. Tho race began to grow interesting, and scores of people lined the sidewalks and applauded tho go-as-vou-pleaso racers very impartially. On they race up the Thunder bolt road, the officer gradually overtaking the now anxious but undaunted Barney. “Stop! stop! 1” cried the officer as he rode up alongside. “What for, you land lubber?” shouted Barney, os he plied the whip to his running nag. “You are under arrest, stop!” still con tinued the officer, waving his club in the air. “Ami? Don't bother me. I’m in a hur ry,- ’ replied the oldsailor, still urging on his horse. The officer endeavored to catch the horse by the bridle, but Barney defied him and managed to out manceuver him every time. Sceiug he could not stop him he re turned to the barracks and so reported, ad ding that Barney paid no attention to him when told he was arrested. The play was now getting serious, as they feared he would drive the horse to death. Hurrying down town, a warrant was se cifred at Justice Russell’s and officers Weth erhoru and Burke jumped into a wagon and put off after the much-wanted Barney. They come up with him just beyond the toll gate, and after stopping him Officer Burke got in the wagon and prepared to turn the horse around to drive to the city. But Barney objected in the most emphatic manner to yielding up the com mand of the ship. A battle was imminent, as Mr. Burke meant business, and proposed to bring in the old fellow whether lie was willing or no. But Barney’s humor changed, and seeing Mr. Wetherhorn sitting in the other wagon ho called to him to come over and he would surrender to him, “but not to any other fellow,” added Bar ney, with one of his usual ironclad oaths. They changed seats and Barnev yielded up the ribbons to Mr. Weth norn and the parties returned to the city. Barney Ixiing very jubilant over his “joke.” He said someone stole his rig and he only borrowed tue first one he saw. The horse was found uninjured and the parties who had such a wild chase after him withdrew their warrants. Whether any steps will be taken to punish him tor his de fiance of police authority remains to be seen. Bucklen’a Arnica Balve.

You can generally size a man up by the fit of his clothes, and if there is anything that will make one tired, oh! so tired, it is the sight of a man whose garments hang on him like “a shirt on a handspike."

We make a specialty of correct fits; in fact, our reputa tion depends on it, and we would rather lose a sale than send out into the world a suit that would bring us into ridicule.
