ADDITIONAL DIRECTORS.
Important Amendments to the City
and Suburban Railroad Charter.
Th° City and Suburban Railroad Com
pany has sent on a bill to the Legislature
petitioning for two amendments to its
charter. The first section increases the
number of directors from four to seven;
the second allows the company to charge
for the carrying of trunks, or 'other large
or heavy pnreels. Capt. Johnston, General
Manager of the road, was seen yesterday
afternoon and asked regarding the amend
ments.
“We sent the bill in because we needed it
badly," said the captain.
“Bpfore a quorum of the hoard was three,
but it seemed impossible to get three of the
four present at any onetime Last year we
had. I helieve. only one directors’ meeting
on account of this trouble, and it seemed
unavoidable, too, as these gentle
men always had business that de
tained one or more of them, thus
preventing the securing of a quorum. But
with seven we think there will ne no trouble,
for certainly out of seven we can capture
four.’’
The second section was then alluded to.
“Oh, yes, about, charging for packages," re
marked Capt. Johnston, “if you would watch
the cars on Mondays and Fridays, say, you
•would see the great need for some such regu
lation. For instance two colored washer
•women will come up to a car,
carrying a large basket be
tween them and one in each
hand. One of them probably will get, on
one side, but all three baskets will be placed
on the front platform, interfering with the
driver and being a nuisance generally. And
this thing occurs all the time and bothers
us to a great extent. On some lines trunks
■will be carried very often, many times
causing the car to miss its schedule, on ac
count of the delay caused in placing it on
the platform and removing it. When a car
misses its schedule trip it means a loss of $3 to
$4 to the company. It is very inconvenient,
annoying and costly to iis to be thus
troubled, and we are endeavoring to secure
power to stop or regulate it. We intend
either to get pay for carrying these pack
ages and baskets or else drive them off the
line.” Several conductors were spoken to
regarding the package nuisance, and they
all said it was a great bother ; hindering
them and proving very annoying to their
passengers.
WHAT OLD PROBS. SAYS,
Higher Temperature Promised Soon-
Great Deficit in Rainfall.
The maximum temperature here yester
today was $1", and the minimum GO". The
average was 70”, being 10” below the nor
mal. The temperature in the cotton dis
tricts, exrept Wilmington, has risen
slightly. The Wilmington district, how
ever, still remain* cool enough to affect the
cotton crop in North Carolina. The tem
perature is rising generally in all parts
of the country, especially in the
Ohio and Upper Mississippi Valievs and
Tennessee. The 10 o'clock reports last night
showed a temperature of 86” at St. Louis,
the higheet reported in the country. Cin
cinnati reported 84 . The lowest reported
■was 56”, at Bismarck. No rains fell in the
cotton regions.
The 10 p. m. report showed rains had
fallen in the Missouri valley and the lake
regions. The barometer was highwt in the
extreme Northwest. The storm that was
central in the Northwest Monday has
moved eeetward and at 10 o’clock last night
was centra] over the upper lake
regions. It will prohably move
off the New England coast to-day.
Tie rainfall here is very deficient, there
being a deficit of 7 inches'since Aug. 1, and
nearly 10 inches since Jan. 1. The indica
tions are; Warmer, fair weather.
CAST UP BY THE SEA.
A Message That Was Sent a Year Ago
Juet Received.
A bottle, tightly corked, was picked up
an the beach about four miles north of
Pablo Beach by Mrs. G. N. Niles, who
resides near the place. The bottle was
found to contain a neatly folded paper with
the following inscription thereon:
“Going to Savannah. Thrown from
steamer Naooochee, of Savannah, off South
Carolina coast. Sept 30, 1886, by Ella
Stuart, Valdosta. Ga.; L. M. McCormick,
South Main street, Gainesville, Fla.; Dun
can McFarland. Savannah, Ga., 74 South
Broad street. Please write.”
This was picked up Sept. I, nearly a year
from the time of its being thrown in. If
this bottle could tell its own story, the expe
rience of a year in the Atlantic, while
being tossed on the angry billows and again
floating in calm seas, and passing safely
through it all to oarry the message intrusted
to its care, would make an interesting tale.
An Embezzler Caught.
M. E. Reid, alias Jeese Eugene Merwin,
has been arrested at Henderson, N. C., on
the charge of stealing $6,000 from the
National Express Company, at Glen Falls,
N. Y. Reid, or Merwin, was the man the
police here were looking for when they
alighted upon Lieut. H. T Smith Dorrien a
few days ago. Reid was given an examina
tion at Raleigh, and was ordered to lie
turned over to the New York authorities
forl-rial.
A Woman’s Age.
A woman, it is said, is no older than she
looks. Many women, however, look double
their actual age by reason of those funetiono 1
disorders which wear upon the nerves and
vitality, and which, if unchecked, are liable
to change the most robust woman to a
weak, broken-down invalid. Dr. Pierce's
“Favorite Prescription” will positively cure
every irregularity and weakness peculiar to
the sex, and requires but a single trial to
prove its surpassing merit. Price reduced

RAT-CATCHERS' STORIES.
Tales Called to Mind by the Vision of
a Rat-Trap and lie Prisoner.
Three gentlemen were sitting in a restau
rant last night, enjoying a friendly smoke
, and a quiet gloss, when the proprietor of
the establishment came in with a trap and
| a huge rat, which liad iieen caught therein.
The rat was examined and pronounced a
1 tine i-atoil. and after the natural joke at the
proprietor's expense aliout having “squir
; rel" on the bill of fare next morning, the
I conversation was resumed. The gentlemen
1 had tieen talking about fox hunting, but
they switched off on to rats, and each took
his turn in trying to outdo the others in rat
i stories.
“The biggest rat-s I ever saw,” said No. 1,
i "are on the wharves. I remember I used to
j Vs- on the wharves and some of us fixed up a
rat trap of our own. We tixef a corn sack
so the mouth would stand open until we
pulled a string that cloned it. We would
bait the trap by putting cheese in the bot
tom of the sack, and then we would go off
some distance and watch for them. The
rate would come out of their holes and smell
the cheese, ar.d go into the bag for it, and
when there was a good big lot of them in
there together v.o would pull the string and
catch them. Frequently we would catch a
sack full at one haul, and we always caught
at least two sat'ks lull a dav."
“What, catch a corn sack full at once.*”
exclaimed No. 2.
“Well, I don’t mean so full you couldn’t
get another in it, but a-full—you know
what I mean.”
“Oh, yes,” laughed No. 2, “I know what
you mean.” Then taking his turn at the
wheel, No. 2, who is a sea Captain, said:
“Well, the funniest thing I ever saw in the
way of rats was about a \ ear ago. A fel
low came on my vessel and asked if there
were any rats in her. I told him yes, plenty,
and lie offered to clean them all out Re
said if there were not many he would catch
them all for $lO, but if there were many he
wanted 10c. a piece. There weren’t
very many, so I told him to go
to work, and what do you think lie did? He
brought another fellow with him and a sack
of something that looked like salt, hut it
wasn't salt. The two of them went to work
and sprinkled this stuff all over the ship.
Then when it ws dark the fellow I made
the bargain with made the other fellow
stand behind him and hold the sack open.
Then he got, down on his hands and knees
and put something in his mouth and began
to make a low funny kind of noise, and the
rats all began to come right up to him, and
just as fast as they would come up he would
catch them and throw them into the sack
behind him, and in less than two hours there
wasn’t a rat aboard the vessel.”
■ln ominous silence fell. It was begin
ning to grow painful. No. 2 had dropped
his eyes and he seemed afraid to raise them.
No. 3 came to the rescue. He laid his
slouch hat on the table and clasped his
hands liehind his back. “My father had a
nigger boy," he said in a firm tone that in
dicated confidence ‘ and our cellar was
filled with rats. My father told the boy
that he’d give him sc. for overy rat he
caught, so every night the boy would take
a piece of cheese in each hand and make
one of the other boys go with him into the
cellar with a light. He would
la} r flat on his back and
stretch out both arms and open
his hand, letting the cheese lay on top of
them. Then he would make the other Toy
take the light away. He would lie there
and wait until the rats came around and
began to nibble at the cheese. Then he
would close both hands suddenly and catch
a. rat in each, and here he’d come out into
the light holding up a rat in each hand and
demanding his dime.”
No. 2 had straightened up and was star
ing hard at No. 8. No. 1 had a sad, far
away look. He and No 2 arose slowly and
moved toward the door, and as their forms
were swallowed up in darkness there was
wafted hack in pitiful tones, “1 am some
thing of a liar myself.”

About Various Lines.
It has been estimated that the railroad
grade to Lake Helen, Fla., can he completed
for $1,500.
The Orange Belt railroad bridge across
the Withlacoochee river near Macon, is
nearly completed.
The Georgia Midland railroad track lay

Donough, on the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia railroad.
The Sooth Florida railroad company is

The construction company of the Atlanta

road to Kii'niisville in consideration of $50,-
000 and the right of way-, if the directors
would approve, but last, Wednesday the
directors refined to consent, and so Barnea
ville does not get the road.
The attorneys of the New- Orleans Pacific
railroad liave filed a brief with the Secre
tary of the Interior, asking for anew hear
ing in the matter of the forfeiture of the
lands granted to the old New Orleans,
Baton Rouge and Vicksburg Company, and
which were assigned by it to the New Or
leans Pacific railroad.
In Port Orange, Fla., the principal topic
is the projywed railway from thence to
Glencoe. It would he a good thing for the
former place, but a bad move for New
Smyrna. According to the conformation
of the country, from Port Orange in a
southerly direction to Glencoe, and not
New Smyrna would appear to be the proper
direction.
The parties who furnished the funds for
the completion of the Blue Bpring, Orange
C'ty and Atlantic railroad, Florida, now
contemplate the extension of that road to
Tavares, Fla., with a view to making a con
nection w ith the Florida Railway and Navi
gation system at, that point. All arrange
ments preliminary to the extension of the
road have been completed, and the officers
have lieon instructed to prepare estimates of
the cost of extending the road as above at
oiice. They also propose to establish a line
of steamboats on the Halifax, Hillsborough
and Indian rivers te run in connection with
the R. S.. O. C. &A. R. R., so that there
will he Imt one transfer of freight (namely-,
that at New Kinyrnal, lietween the point of
shipment and all Northern and Western
cities, thus giving the people of the East
coast the benefit of a competing lino for the
shipment of their fruit and vegetables.
Mr. J. E. Ingraham, President of the
Nouth Florida railroad, a-eompanied by
Mr. Wilbur McCoy, General Freight and
Passenger Agent of the road, arrived in
Jacksonville from Sanford in the presi
dential favorite car Monday morning. Mr.
Ingraham is a director of the Sub-Tropical,
and came up to attend the meeting which
was held in the afternoon. Mr. Ingraham,
Mai. Sherman Oonant. the General Manager
of the Florida Southern, and prominent
officials of the Florida Railway and Naviga
tion, left over the latter road Tuesday morn
ing for Tallahassee, where they are to meet
the railroad commissioner. The commis
sioner issued a call a short time ago re
questing all persons owning or operating
any railroad, wholly or in part, in the State,
to meet them in their session, which begun
yesterday, to arrange rates and schedules
for the guidance of these roads. The pri
vate cars of the South Florida and the
Florida Railway and Navigation trans
ported the railroad officials to Tallahassee.
Against the Louisville and Nashville.
An indignation meeting was held at Nash
ville, Tenn., Saturday last, to protest against
the so-called illegal acts of the Louisville
and Nashville railroad. Chairman Debrell
called the meeting to order, and read a long
document. He stated that the fight was to
lie against the Ixmlsvilleand Nashville rail
roan, and he says that Mr. E. B. Stahlman
stated to him that he whs taking no steps,
nor authorizing any steps to lie taken
against the Midland road, but he (Mr. Do
brell) alleges that “Mr. Stahlman and his
hirelings” nave been busy day and night
attempting to perfect arrangements
to control the irresponsible vote
of the county in the inter
est of the Louisville and Nashville road.
Mr. E. R. Richardson then offered some
resolutions, declaring the Louisville and
Nashville railroad to tie a foreign corpora
tion and an invader, and denouncing its al
leged organized effort te defeat the will of
the people of Davidson county, and de
claring the jieople must meet it boldly.
They also call for a mass meeting on Mon
day night, Sept, 5, on the public
square. Upon a motion to adopt, there fol
lowed a lively discussion. Mr. Robert L.
Morris said that it was no ordinary oc
casion A rich corporation proposed to
come in and throttle this people. “1 do sav
that when a rich corporation, with its mil
lions, conies in to defeat this vote, we ought
to have a vigilance committee. If Mr.
Stahlman has been guilty, as charged,
in using money to defeat this vote, then ho
ought to lie riilden out of the county on a
rail.” He favored a free and lintrainmeled
ballot, and could not see how any citizen of
the county could refuse to vote for the
proposition. Dr. Thomas Menres also spoke,
declaring that the Ixiuisville aud Nashville
railroad were prepared to defeat the propo
sition by bribery and corruption, buying
the negro vote. Judge A. G. Merritt said
the time had come for action, and earnestly
advocated the road, as did Mr. Childress,
John Riihme and others. Col. D. B. Cooper
was called on, and said that he was op
posed primarily to voting taxes to anything
except the actual expenses of the gov
eminent, but it had now come to
the point whether the jieorilc should vote the
tnx to this railroad or increase Ibe burden
already heaped upon them hv the Louisville
and Nashville railroad. This sum was a
mere bagatelle to Davidson county, and her
people could easily afford to take that
amount and sink it into the Cumberland
river in order to show to tins insolent and
domineering corporation that we are its
masters ami not it* slaves. Mr. Home, a
prominent wholesale merchant,told of great
discriminations that were made by the Louis
ville and Nashville railroad against Nash
ville. He would willingly vote 1o give the
Midland the $500,000, if necessary,and would
l>ay his part towards a $1,000,000 subscrip
tion.

The Umpire Helps Charleston Rub It
In Still Harder.
Charleston, S. C., Sept. 6. —Bad play
ing and had umpiring both, had something
to do with Birmingham's awful defeat to
day. John P. Moran was the umpire, and
evidently tried to do the te-st he could, hut
no amateur cun umpire a professional game
satisfactorily. Fhxvi and Stallings held
the points for the babies, and Hungler and
Childs for the locals. Flood had no control
over the ball at all, and yielded 9 clean hits
and 7 phantoms. The locals piled up runs
until, at the end of the ninth, the score
stool 9 to 1 in favor of Charles
ton. Up to this time the locals
had not made a single error. They now
after the usual style liegan to play loosely,
and in a few moments Birmingham had the
bases full with one run in and two out
Hayes was declared out at first when be
clearly lieat the hall there. Thß audience
shouted shame, and the umpire himself
admits that his decision was wrong, hut de
clined to reverse it. It is not possible that
Birmingham could have won because there
was not daylight enough for them to even
tie the score. The score by innings and a

Memphis Knocks Out Six Runs in One
Inning and Wine.
New Orleans. La., Sept. 6.—Memphis
won the game by hard hitting in one inning
to-day. New Orleans niKde two runs in the
third by good base running and a little
sharp batting. The game was so well con
tested that it looked a winning lead, hut in
the fifth inning singles by iteccius, Peltz,
Phelan, Baker, and sacrifices by Black
and Andrews, and a three-bagger
by McAleer brought in six runs. New Or
leans played without heart after this,
although Memphis did not score again. In
the third inning Fuller was hit, by a pitched
ball, and a passed hell and Vaughn’s sacri
flee lot him in, hut that was all. Umpire
Berkery was severe on the home team, and
retired after the fifth inning on account of
the dissatisfaction he caused. William

torily. The score by innings follows:

Charleston in Small Bits.
Capt. Henry Schachte returned Monday
from a three weeks' trip to the North. He
says that he saw Bartlett, the model cashier
of the Sumter bank, on the streets of
Gotham.
News was received in the city Monday of
the death in New York of Mrs. Harris,
widow of the late Isaac Harris, of this place.
Mrs. Harris was an old lady and had lived
all her life in Charleston, where she was
known for her many philanthrophic deeds,
having been for many years President of
the Ladies’ Hebrew Benevolent Society.
She left here last winter with relatives to
reside in New York. Her remains will
reach Charleston to-morrow morning and
will be interred in the Hebrew Cemetery.
The trustee of the late Countess Allesina
Pauline Isvmetti, Mr. Caspar Chisholm, has
taken out letters of administration on her
estate. The Countess had a life interest in
bonds, securities, etc., to the amount of
$75,003, which interest now reverts to the
heirs of the late Alexander Chisholm, from
whose property her interest was derived.
There ts, however, an unexpended balance
of about $1,500, in which Count John B.
Leonetti, of Florence, Italy, has an interest.
There was a joint meeting at the office of
Capt. F. IV. \Vagener Monday morning at
10 o’clock, of the committee in the matter
of freight discrimination against Charleston
which have been appointed by the Mer
chants’ Exchange and the Charleston Ex
chai.ee. The discussion of the matter was
informal and principally upon the specific
charges which have already been given in
the Xeirs and Courier. There was also
some discussion of the method of procedure,
whereby the matter can l>e most intelli
gently brought before the Interstate Rail
road Commission and urged most effectively.
Asa result of the deliberations on this point
it is proposed to secure the services of some
active, energetic and weltposted agent, to be
paid a reasonable compensation, who shall
visit.!he places along the lines of railway
where discriminations are practiced. This
agent is to re|jort to the joint committee,
and then with all the facts in his possession
proceed to Washington and lay the case in
its strongest light before the commission.
At ft met ting ot the Charleston Exchange
Monday the followingrosoliition was jiassed:
“That the Charleston Exchange agree to the
suggestion of the committee of the Mer
chants’ Exchange appointed at titter Inst
meeting to consider freight discrimination,
• and that a suitable person lie selected to col
late all the information on such points, and
to present su'd report to the Interstate Com
mission at Washington.” There was also
another important matter considered by the
exchange. This was Ihr treight facili
ties for cotton between (TiniToxtoii and New
York. After some discussion a com
mittee was appointed to wait upon Capt.
Courtenay, of the t 'lyde Line to ask that he
would use Ins influence in obtaining better
facilities by his line from this point to New
York. In the event of u failure of the com
mittee to secure front the Clyde Lino what
is asked, it was resoived that, anew com
mittee, composed a* nlioce with the excep
tion of Mi. E c. Williams, be appointed
to meet ucommittee for a similar purpose,
to be appointed by Hie Merchants’ Exchange,
with n view of offering inducement* to oth
ers for running additional steamships be
tween Charleston and New York.

The Art of Borrowing.
“Hello! What are you doing for a liv
ing!” was the somewhat contemptuous
question put by a reporter of the San Fran
cisco Examiner in the corridor of the Bald
win Hotel to a well-dressed hut nevertheless
indescribably seejy-looking man who had
hazarded the remark that it w as a fine day.
"1 have iieon doing very well since I saw
you last. I have given up work of every
kind, for I am really not strong enough for
employment ; and. besides, I don't like it. I
am earning a good and respectable liveli
hood by borrowing now.” replied the young
man audresred quite calmly.
“By borrowing!’’ exclaimed the reporter.
“I should never fancy you could live very
luxuriously on an income drawn from that
source. You occasionally pay back the
money you receive, I suppose!”
“I always pay back the money i get the
first time of asking,” replied the young
man. “The second time I forget to return
it. When I begun to negotiate these little
necessary loons, I proposed to cancel my
debts twice, and allow the creditor to make
a permanent investment at the third ven
ture; but I soon found that many men ob
ject nearly as strong to lending money when
they are sure they will get it back, as when
they know they are certain to lose it, and,
on half a dozen occasions, they refused to
accommodate me when I approached them
the third time, although they must have
seen that I was strictly honest, as I had paid
them l>aek the money they had lent me
twice already.
“I could not afford to be victimized this
way too often, you know, so I determined
to close the account when I had obtained
the second loan. I should make very little
money if 1 did it sooner, because no man
cares to lend much to a coirqiarative
stranger when he first wants to borrow
money from him. 1 always make my
initial demand a moderate one, never ask
ing for more than SI. I don't draw my
friend into a retired corner and nervously
whisper my request in his ear. If I did
that he would almost certainly refuse me.
"I take him when he is with his friends
and manage, if I can, to get him to intro
duce me to some of them. Thus he becomes
a sort of sponsor for my respectability.
Then I suddenly call ont, as though the
thought had just occurred to me, ‘Oh,Jby
the way, X., like a good fellow, let me have
a couple of dollars until to-morrow after
noon. Or, hold on, SI will do. I want to
pay a little hill as I go home, and I seem to
have made ducks and drakes of my small
change to-dav I’
“Everybody in the room hears me; and if
X. refuses to lend me the money he is, mor
ally, a bolder man thpn I usually find him
to be. Punctually at the appointed hour I
call upon him the next day and return his
dollar, apologizing for having troubled him.
I ask him to take a drink, if he is inclined
that way. Such uprright behavior, has, of
course, a good effect on him, and when, a
little later, under very similar surroundings,
and laying my plans* of attack in the same
way, I strike him for $5, I seldom fail to
get it and keep it.
“One rule I scrupulously ohserve. I never
ask a man for money until by some means
or other I have ascertained that he has it.
The more there is in his purse the better are
my chances of success. It is easier to bor
row #5 from a man who has SSO than half a
dollar from a man who has only $2. Also,
men who are not accustomed to having
large sums of money will lend much more
freely when they happen to be flush than
those whose jiookets are always well lined.
“1 never ask for a larger sum than $5.
I don’t think it would be honorable to do so
—and, besides, I might not get it.
“No, I never exhaust my list of friends.
On the contrary, I am always increasing it.
Before I cut loose from one man by the $5
transfer, I get, him to introduce me to at
least two others, and as losses ouch as I have
been s|ieaking of are not usually referred to
in good society the field is generally clear for
new operations.
“Now. will you join in something at the
bar! No! lam sorry for that. I did not
intend to say I had forgotten my purse and
ask you to pay for the drinks; and I was
hoping that you would introduce me to some
of your friends in the hotel.”
Seen and Heard in a Bank.
From the Chu non Herald.
As queer things happen sometimes at the
banks as anywhere else. It was not long
ago that a galootish-looking fellow walked
into the First National and asked for a
certificate of deposit He counted out his
mouev and handed it through the window.
The teller look it, counted it, and threw it
into his box. Then taking bis great can
vas-covered boon, wherein are entered the
signatures of thousands of people who hold
certificates of the First National, he threw
it around and passed it t hrough for the
galoot to sign. The next instant, when the
teller looked up, the depositor was half way
down the big hanking room with the great
book under his arm and making for the
door. There were the money boxes to
look out, for and the drawers to close, and
the clerk could get out in pursuit only by
running down and around 100 feet of coun
ters. He didn’t try to do all these things.
He halloed to the nearest customer he saw
outside to run and stop that fellow with the
great canvas-covered nook. That was no
difficult matler. The man was making his
way painfully and slowly down Dearbon
street, and came back cheerfully. He
thought that that forty-pound book, he said,
was nis certificate of deposit.
A rather nice looking but matronly look
ing voting woman began depositing *IOO a
week at the First National Shg came so
regularly, always with the same amount,
that the young man at the window made
hold to congratulate her that she was doiug
so well in her business.
“Don’t give me away," she said, in a
friendly tone. “My husband isabartender.”
