AN EYE ON SAVANNAH.
THE NOBTH GEORGIA ROAD MAT
MAKE AN OUTLET HERB.
The New Road About Completed to
Knoxville—Maj. Hartridge Betties the
Story That the Calhounß Have Got
Hold of the Company—A Developing
Enterprise—Three Sea Coast Termi
nals in View.
Maj. A. L. Hartridge is elated over the
prospect of the Marietta and North Georgia
getting to Kuoxville within the limit to
entitle the road to the $375,000 voted it by
that city. In fact, Maj. Hartridge say*
that while the road w.ll have until Aug. 24
to reach Kuoxville, if no unforeseen acci
dents occur, the road will have been com
pleted long before that time.
There are only about forty miles yet to
build, and, if seven miles is excepted, the
entire distance is through an agricultural
country, and the progress will be rapid.
There are, however, north of Duck town, to
which trains are now running, seven miles
of mountainous country which requires
three tunnels, upon which work is now in
prog ess. and were it n >t for this difficult
gap in the line Knoxville would soon be
reached.
“What is there in the rumor that the
Calhouns are interested in the road?’ Maj.
Hartridge was asked.
“Nothing as far as I know. T don’t think
they own a dollar of stock in it."
“And dou’t control its stock:' 1
“Net at all. They have some interest in
a projected road over in the coal
fields of Northeastern Kentucky, which
may want to make connections with
the Marietta und North Geo-gia
road. The Marietta and North Georgia
road Is independent and seeks to make no
Alliance until it reaches Knoxville, and then
it will be time eu ugh to consider what
reciprocal arrangements can be made with
connecting lines.”
SAVANNAH A POSSIBLE OITTI.KI'.
When questioned as to what direction the
road propose* to go after reaching Atlanta
to get to" the coast, Maj. Hartridge said
that it has the choice of three outlets.
Charleston. Savannah and Brunswick. As
for himself, Maj. Hartridge said he prefers
Savannah. lie thinks it time enough to
discuss that matter, however, when the
road is completed t > Knoxville. Then, he
eays, the road and its connections will pre
sent almost an air line from Cincinnati via
Knoxville to Atlanta. By the Georgia
railroad and the South Carolina road
Charleston may be leached, by ttie East
Tenr.eseo, Virginia and Georgia Brunswick
may be reached, while by the Central, by a
shorter line, Savannah may be made the
discharging point for the agricultural and
mineral resources along the line of tuei oad.
Maj. Hartridge says that he and res not un
demtand why the Marietta and North
Georgia company is being criticised for its
enterprise in building into ad developing
a territoiv rich in gold, iron, granite,
marble, and copper, as it will be largely
tributary to Georgia; and ho says that in
the near future large shipments of marble
must como to the South Atlantic coast for
roshipment.
OPENING T7P THE QXj ARRIES,
He says that in the last few da vs an ex
tensive marble quarrv has i.een purchased
by a New York contractor, who will taka
>ut 500 car loads of marble for the Vander
bilt cottages.
The only reason that can be assigned for
any criticism of the Marietta and North
tieorgia road, Maj. Hartridge thinks, is
because s>me $70,000 worth of its bonds
held by the state were returned to it. The
fact that the present legislature, with its
apparent hostility to railroads, voted to
return the bonds, he thinks, ought to
satisfy the people that the state was acting
jus.ly in returning the bonds, this being
the second general assembly that has so
voted. Mi j. Hartridge sa s t hat through uo
solicitation on the mrt of tli • friends of the
road. Senator dußiguon advocated the
measure. These bonds, Maj. Hartridge
says, were held by the state, conditioned
upon the construction of a certain portion
of the road, and when that was done the
road was clearly entitled to their return.
THE MURPHY ROUTE ABANDONED.
“You are not building via Murphy f”
“No, sir. Wa abandoned that route after
building to Murphy, which is being op
erated as a branch road, a.id, beginning at
Blue Ridge, the road has beeu t uilt in a
northwesterly direction to Ducktown to
take in the rich copper mines. From Duck
town it will run northeastwardly to Knox
ville.”
Maj. Hartridge allows it to be under
stood that the Marietta and North Georgia
may, at an early dav, extend its line to
Chattanooga, and circumstances may arise
which will lead the company to finish the
gap between Atlan a and Marietta, the
latter point being the present southern ter
mri us of the Marietta and North Georgia
road. The state road is being used by the
Marietta and North Georgia, Detween Mari
etta and Atlanta, and the present legisla
ture has granted the Marietta and North
' Georgia folks a charter to build between
the two cities, so that if the state road
should pass into unfriendly hands, the short
gap could soon be built over.
Maj. Hartridge thinks that Savannah, at
the proper time, should exert itself to
•ecure the closest possible connections with
the Marietta and North Georgia, as both
Charleston and Brunswick arc watching
■with interest what will be the next move
after the road is completed to Knoxville.
IMPROVING THsi MAILS.
An Additional Service Between Sa
vannah and Millen.
A local night mail has been put on the
Central railroad Shoo-fly train, aud the
stations between Savannah and Millen are
getting an extra mail every night.
The arrangement is a convenient one to
Savannah merchants. They are able by
this new mail to send out letters to their
country customers in the af ernoon aud at
night, instead <>f in the morning. Hereto
fore they have been unable to get their local
mail off on the day it was posted. By the
old arrangement they posted their letters
in the afternoon and at night, and they
remained in the postofliee until next morn
ing, when they were sent out on the 7:10
train. The night train leaving here at
8:10 does not take local mail.
Postmaster Lamar says tiiat the only ob
jection business men have to sending their
mail out on the Shoo-iiy is that tney have
to post their letters at a very early hour iu
the afternoon. The Shoofly leaves at 5:40
standard time, and a good many merchants
and most of the factors have accusto ned
themselves to getting their mail read/
after that hour, and they are not dit xieod
to change, at least not now. lit is likely,
however, when they find that their country
customcis who rely upon them for quota
tions. etc., aud are profited by the new
schedule, appreciate the change, that thev
will patronize the new mail train.
An Alarm, but No Fire.
The “Big Duke” struck for box 4 at 7
o’clock last night, but there was no fire,
and the box was not turned in. A police
man was standing near the b >x at the ti.ne
the alarm sounded. Chief Fireman Puder
was asked later on how he accounted for the
alarm, and he replied that it is evident to
his mind that someone tampered with the
wire-, oiid he is Inclined to believe that It
wae done by tending in the alarm from one
of the private gongs In the house of a call
fireman.

The steamer Ydun, running between
Bluefield and Savauuah, by Kavanaugn &
Brennan, arrived from Central America
yesterday morning with a cargo consisting
of 8,000 bunches of bananas, 19,000 cocoa
nuts, and 69 bales of ruDber.
A gentleman who is a machinist and en
gineer. and also a large mill-owner, suggests
a remedy for the damage caused from
sparks thrown from the smoke-stacks of the
donkey boilers aboard foreign steamships.
These small stacks are placed inside of the
large slacks belonging to the boilers of the
pr pelier engines, and their tops are even
with the tops of the latter. By cutting off
the sma l stacks several feet below the top
of the largei smoke-stacks, there will be a
lesser current of air, and the sparks wIU
not pas beyond the top of the latter. It is
getting to be generally believed that by a
little care on the part of those who use
sieam along the wharves, cotton fires can
be prevented.
IMPALED ON A COTTON HOOK.
A Longshoreman Hoisted Twenty
Feat Into the Air by a Sling.
Tbe sicke .lug spectacle of a man impaled
on the book attached to a sling used for
hoisting cotton ou board ship was witnessed
yesterday afternoon, at 4:30 o’clock, on one
of the steamships at the upper wharves.
John Dill in was the unfortunate victim,
the hook entering uis left wrist and lifting
him fully twenty feet from the wharf, tear
ing a long and frightful gash in the arm.
Dillon and his companion, Barney Dolan,
both longshoremen, were engaged in hook
ing the sling-hook into the bales for hoist
ing, and while Dillon was trying to attach
the hook it was “hauled away,” catching
Dillon and lifting him rapidly toward the
ship. Dolan hurried to his companion’s
rescue, and broke Dillon’s fall as the sling
was loosened.
Dillon was taken to the city dispensary,
where he suffered great pain from the
lacera'ed fl ah and arteries, until a phy
sician could be found.
Dr. Keller was the first physician to ar
rive, and he found Dillon nearly crazy with
pain. An opiate was administered hypo
dermically, after which the arenas were
gathered up and fifteen stitches were put in
tue gaping wouud. After the operation the
man was removed to bis room at No. 80
Indian street. Dillon was in the employ of
Capt. James Ward at the time of the
accident.
LET THU SOLDIEBS TURN OUT.
A Good Tims to Show the Legislature
the Military.
“Why dou’t the military parade when
the governor and genoral assembly come
down!” a business man asked yesterday.
“It would be very appropriate,” he added.
“Certainly it is a most opportune time to
show the North Georgians what Savannah
has iu a military way. Nothing is more in
teresting than a good parade. Savannah
can get up a parade that wil equal anything
which has been seen at the state expositions
and fairs. Hue has ten oornp mles, widen is
a great many more companies thau any
city- in Georgia can boast of.”
The gentleman added that now is a good
time to show the law-makers why Kavan
nah is so deeply interested In the military
bill for a SIO,OOO appropriation to defray
the expenses of an annual encampment for
the volunteer Boldiery of Georgia. The ap
propriation has been curtailed to about
$7,200, which is not enough to defray the
encampment expenses of eleven-twentieths
of the companies in the state.
PUT POISON IN HIB WHISKY.
Hagnr Anderson Charged With Her
Husband’s Murder.
The preliminary examination demanded
by Hagar Anderson (colored), which was
assigned for hearing in Justice Russell’s
court yesterday, was by consent postponed
until next Friday morning. The Andersou
women is charged with the murder of her
husband, James Anderson, by putting
poison in his whisky. There are ten wit
nesses for the state and fourteen for the
prisoner.
There is much interest in the case among
the colored people on the Ogeechee road, in
the neighborhood where the Andersons lived,
and they will pour in on foot and in carts
to hear the trial, the twenty- even witnesses
alone making quite a crowd. Solicitor-
General Fraser will conduct the examina
tion for the state, and T. D. Rockwell, Esq.,
is counsel for the woman.
THE SUNBURY BAPTISTS.
The Pooler Convention Adjourned—A
Large Delegation.
The Sunbury Baptist Association, which
has been in session iu Pooler several days,
adjourned Sunday night. The convention
was held iu the new Baptist church of
Pooler, and was the most interesting ever
held there, the members say. Quite a large
number of clergymen from various parts
of the state were pr esent. Sunday the at
tendance was very large, and the
church was not capacious enough
to noommodate the people.
Two hundred and fifty were inside of the
building, and a ia ge number listened to the
exercises from the windows and doors.
Representatives of the Baptist denomina
tion were in attendance from Macon,
Columbus, Atlanta, Rome, and a good
many of the smaller places, including
Aoiericus, Millen, and Wayoross.
UNDER A BAD CHARGE.
James Anderson In Jail for Assault
With Intent to Murder.
James Anderson (colored) was sent to
jail from Justice Russ-11’s court yesterday
up>n a charge of assault with intent to

proeecutor. He alleged that Anderson
assaulted a negro named Elkin Watkins,
and used him roughly. Anderson beat
Watkins over the head and bauds with a
bar of iron, inflicting serious wouuds, and
he is also charged with stabbing Watkins
with a knifo. Ai dersun said that the
fracas was not as bad as it was alleged to
have beeu, but in default of bail he wus
sent to Jail to await a hearing in the
superior court.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1889.
AT THE THEATER
Goodyear, Cook St Dillon’s Minstrels
To-Night.
Goodyear, Cook & Dillon’s Minstrels will
be at tbe theater to-night. Tbe company
is one of tbe crack minstrel organizations.
The Macon AVus say s that in point of genu
ine minstrelsy it is superior to either Wil
son's or Haverly’s. Of course, the stage
settings and spectacular part ot Haverly’s
is not approached by any organization In
the world, but as regards singing and
dancing and negro characterization
Goodyear, Cook & Dillon lead any
troupe in the south this year.
The comedians of tbe company, the .Yews
says; are first-class. Much has been written
about the great Emesrson of Haverly’s, but
G. H. Edwards is bds superior, and last
night lie won unsUnued praise. He is great.
Charlie Goodyear is uis j immense, and bis
imitation of George Wilson is capital.
As an eccentric comedian he is a success.
There never was a better performance on
the Macon stage than that give i by the
Leech brothers, the par excellence of ban
joists, vocalists and dancers. Chas. E.
Schilling, the musical comedian, was on
deck in first-class style. His laughable ab
surdities captured the orowd. Frank Dil
lon’s latest sketch, entitled, “Summer
Boarders,” introducing the charming vocal
ist, Ellsworth Coo If, us Madame Patti, is a
splendid part, and adds much to the enter
tainment.
“ The Wife.”
“The Wife” will be presented to-morrow
night for the first tune in Savannah by
Mrs. Berlan Gibbs and a company of abil
ity. Tne play is one of those society come
dies which are always most popular. The
comedy of “The Wife” is the most
popular of all, however, as it deals with
“high” life at Newport and Wasuington,
the recognized centers of “high” and
“official" society in this country. Miss Etta
Hawkins was formerly with “Held by the
Enemy” in the original production, and
also soubrette in Do Mille’s “Main Line”
gome three years ago. Miss Hawkins is a
bright, intelligent artist, and ranks among
tbe leading in her line in this country.
THE WHITE BAND MOVEMENT.
An Organization to be Effected at an
Early Day.
The musicians and lovers of good music
in Savannah are deeply interested in the
organization of a white band. A Florida
musician from St. Augustine, where he has
been leader for ten years of the United
States military band, bos already offered
his services. A gentleman said last night
that there is enough talent here in Savan
nah to start a good band. There are
twenty-five musicians here who have been
members of bands, and who. with a month’s
practice, will become proficient.
“What will it require to start the band?”
“One thousand dollars,” he replied. “It
will take that amount to purchase the horns.
All of the necessary equipments may be
pr cured for this amount.”
“Will that be all of the expense?”
“Practically sa None of the men, except
the leader, will have to be paid by the
month. AU of the rest a e engaged in
various positions now, and they will retain
their positions just the same after joining
the band. Tbe coit of the leader will not
be more than $65 a month.”
“How is it proposed to raise the money?”
“By subscription, of course. The band
will rely, however, mainly upon the mili
tary. The baud will be strictly a military
band. It will be able to support itself
during the winter season by entertain
ments. ”
CROWDS AT THE CIRCUS.
Ten Thousand People Take in the
Big Show.
Kobinson’s circus gave two of the most
successful performances yesterday that it
has given since its advent into the southern
Btates. Both the afternoon and evening
entertainments were patronized to the full
capacity of the immense canvases. At
least 10.000 people saw the show. There
was not a single occurrence, inside or
outside of the tents, to mar the exhibi
tions, and the weather was just such as to
make it comfortable to tbe thousands of
spectators.
John Robinson, Jr., proprietor of the
circus and sou of tbe great showman of the
same name, who, for three generations,
coutribu ed to the enjoyment of the people,
joined his circus in this city, having been
detained at home by a bereavement, the
death of his wife. He will continue with
the show during its four weeks’ stay iu
Georgia.
The circus train, consisting of forty-six
cars, left this morning at 10 o’clock
for Jesup, where the circus will exhibit
to-day. From there it will visit all the
principal cities and towns in Southern and
Southwest Georgia. It is a show worth
seeing, and under the management of Mr.
Robinson and his. worthy assistant, Mr.
Lowlow, who is a native Georgian, is well
worthy not only the patronage of the peo
ple, but of their courtesy and kind atten
tion.
CLOSE TO THE FROST MARK.
The Temperature Makes Winter Cloth
ing Very Comfortable.
Savannah did not get a frost yesterday,
owing to the high winds that prevailed
during the night before. The temperature
went down to 45\ and overcoats were worn.
It is likely that killing frosts occurred in
North Louisiana, Alabama and South Ten
nessee. The average temperature in the
New Orleans district of the cotton
belt was 32*, Mobile reported 34°, Memphis
34°, and Vicksburg and Atlanta 38°. In the
Savannah district the ave age minimum
temperature was 46°. Milieu, ThomasviUe
and Alapatia reported 40°, the lowest re
ported in tbe district, and Aloauv, Bain
bridge, Live Oak and Jesup reported 42°.
Tbe Savannah station reported 45°.
No rain fell any where in the south yes
terday. It will lie slightly warmer here
to-day, but tho temperature will remain
low, ad will remain so for the next forty
eight hours. Tue indications for to-day
are: Fair a.id cool.
Masons at Macon.
Savannah will be represented at the
Masonic grand lodge meeting in Macon to
day by W. D. Spann of Solomons Lodge,
W illiam W alter of Zerubbabel Lodge, and
A. McDonald of Landrum L >dge. Clinton
Lodge will also bo reDresented at the meet
ing.
To Start Work Boon.
The building committee of the Inde
pendent Presbyterian church is getting im
patient over the long.delay in beginning
work on the new church. A meeting was
bold yesterday afternoon, aud Mr. Preston
was telegraphed to come on at once.

THE CENTRAL’S NEW PROPERTY.
The Ocean Steamship Company's Ter
minals In New York.
General Manager Sorrel of the Ocean
Steamship Company, who is at home after
a busy summer in New York, looking after
the construction of the new steamship Kan
sas City at Chester, and the terminal facili
ties for the vessels of the line, expressed
himself yesterday as now thoroughly satis
fied with the facilities controlled by tbe
Ocean Steamship Company, which are
fast becoming inadequate to the in
creasing business of the line. Heretofore,
the vessels of the line have had to load and
discharge at pier No. 35, but one-half of
pier No. 34 has been leased, and this gives
the/jompany water front o(160 feet between
the two piers, and will enable it to use one
pier for receivi g and tbe other for discharg
ing freight. The addition will give the
vessels of the line 240 feet of water front
and a width of between ninety-five and 100
feet of extensive wharves. The piers are
on West street, at the foot of Canal street,
and are most desirably located.
The acquisition of harbor facilities at
Hoboken on Hudson street, taking in the
entire front from Eleventh to Twelfth
street, and only two squares from the
Fourteenth street ferry, is considered a
mos valuable addition to the company’s
property. The frontage of the property is
550 feet, and it is 700 feet deep to where the
bulkheads will be required. Here two ex
tensive piers may be built when the demand
arises for them. Gen. Sorrel says that the
company expects soon to make some moder
ate improvements to its no vly acquired
property. “In otuer words,” he says, “we
will make a beginning. ”
Gen. Sorrel explained why the company
acquired the Hoboken property. Harbor
facilities are getting scarcer and more
valuable, and soon it will be difficult to
obtain them. Already the Ocean Steam
ship Company had begun to feel the need of
a place for its naval store deliveries and it
has had to lignter them a long distance to
the Brooklyn naval stores yard. Now it
wili be able to store them in its own yard,
only about one and three-quarters miles
from the piers at the foot of Canal street.
Gen. Sorrel says that the line carries more
naval stores to New York from Savannah
thau the vessels from all other parts com
bined,and the needs were pressing for storage
room, fcheds will be built on the Hoboken
property for storing these naval stores
when required. Much of the lumber that
goes by tue vessels of the line is for harbor
delivery, and the Hoboken property will ac
commodate this demand for storage room,
and will also give the company a place for
storing pig iron and other heavy freights.
Gen. Sorrel says it often occurs that over
due vessels leave the steamships with a
cargo of cotton which has to be stored, a id
the Hoboken property will enable the com
pany to store it until derelict vessels arrrlve
in port. Eventually, Gen. Sorrel thinks,
the company’s vessels may go over to
Hoboken to discharge portions of their
cargo, and less lighterage will be done than
at present.
Referring to the Kansas City, Gen. Sorrel
says that he has but one complaint to make
of the contractors, and that is the delay in
getting the ship ready for her trade. The
scarcity of skilled labor, owing to the in
creased activity in shio building, accounts
for the delay. The Ka isas City, he says,
will be delivered in New York by Dec; 1.
The hull and joiner work is well advanced,
the delay being in the machinery work.
Gen. Sorrel arranged for the shin's outfit
whUe in New Y. rk, and it will lie iu
readiness on the delivery of the vessel there,
and will be put in without delay. The
outfit embraces carpets, upholstery, eleotrlc
fixtures, silver and tableware and crockery.
The furniture is handsome, and, Gen.
Sorrel says, is worthy of the ship.
The new vessel is fitted with modern
mechanical appliances for expeditiously
handling the cargo. The vessel is expected
to be the fastest of the fieet, and will make
fifteen knots an hour, and in fair weather,
Gen. Sorrel says, she ought to m ike the
trip from New York to Savannah in forty
five hours. "The lines of the ship,” be said,
"have been admired by all nautical men
who have seen the vessel.”
The interior of the Kansas City is fitted
up in hard wood, witbrion panelings, some
what severe iu feature, but effective in re
sult.
Gen. Sorrel was asked if the officers of the
new vessel have yet been determined upon,
and he replied that Capt. Kempton, late of
the Naooochee.and senior captain of the line,
will be the commander of tbe vessel, and I.
C. Smith, late of the Naooocbee will be the
chief engineer.
“I have great confidence in putting those
officers on the Kansas City,” he added
“Mr. Smith has been with the engines
watching every step of their construction
and erection. Capt. Kempt m went to
Chester last week to superintend the is par
ring, rigging, canvastng and general outfit
of the deck department, iu addition to this,
the superintendent engineer of the com
pany, Mr. R. E. LeFevre, has been from
week to week and almost from day to day
superintending the construction of 'all parts
of the ship.” *
Gen. Sorrol was asked if complaints had
ceased about only one ship a week to Phila
delphia, and he said they have, as a great
deal of the Philadelphia freight is
goiug via New York wituout delay, and at
no extra freight tariff.
RIVER AND HARBOR NOTES.

Birmingham is toon to have another road
added to the great iron web that radiates
from ti ere. The new road is almost an air
line, and will open up to Birmingham the
ric country along the Georgia Southern
and Florida system.
The mortgage on the Mor.tgomerv,
Tuscaloosa, Alabama and Memphis rail
road, by which the bond money will be
obtained to construct the line, has been
recorded in Montgomery, Autauga,Chilton,
Perry, Bibb and Tuscaloosa counties,
throu/b which the road will be built
The Columbus sleepers on the Central rail
road were taken off yesterday. There were
three cars ou this route, and thev have
been running for the last year. For the
last few weeks they have been very well
patronized, but prior to that time thsy
did a poor business. The last sleeper was
brought into Savannah on the fast mail
train Sunday afternoon.
The Chattanooga Times says: The Louis
villa and Nashville Railroad Company is
seemingly determined to have a line be
tween this city and Atlanta at all events.
As already stated in the Times, the Louis
ville and Nashville wants the Western and
Atlantic railro id here, and is using every
means to arouse a sentiment m that direc
tion. Should it fail in its efforts,
however, it is learned that the Louisville
and Nashville will at once build a line of
railroad from Stevenson, Ala., through
Fort Payne to Atlanta, thus making a
much shorter route than the present West
ern and Atlantic line. In that event the
Louisville and Nashville would, of course,
divert all of its extensive patronage from
the Western and Atlantic to its own road,
and thus the Western and Atlantic would
lose about three-fourths of its present freight
and passenger business, unless the r al
could form a combination with the Cincin
pati Southern.
The stockholder* of the West’ Georgia
Construction Company have selected the
following directors: A. B. Graves, president
of St. Nicholas Bank, New York; R. A
Lancaster, of R. A. Lancaster & Cos., bank
ers, Wall street, New York:lt. K. Dow, of
Careraount, N. H., of the Little Rock and
Memphis railroad; J. W. English, president
of the Chattahoochee Brick company, At
lanta; W. B. Lowe, Atlanta; G. Gunby
Jordan, general manager of the
Georgia' T railroad. Colum
bus; TANARUS.; E. Blanchard, Humber &
Cos., Columbus. G. Gunby Jordau was
elected president of the company. Mr.
Jordan was authorized to make first call
for an amount necessary to cover the
engineering and preliminary expenses
whenever lie deems it advisaole. The pur
pose of this company is to build the Geor
gia and Tennessee railroad and snoh other
railroad work as may come incidentally to
this enterprise. It iB understood that
Messrs. Simon, Borg & Cos., New York,
will be the fiscal agents of the company.
The amendment tacked on to the charter
of the Georgia, Alabama and Florida rail
road prohibiting it from paralleling the
road of the proposed Bainbridge, Cutbbert
and Columbus road is meeting with great
disapproval in Columbus. A dispatch from
that city says; The evident intention of
the amendment was to defeat the bill grant
ing the charter. The Bainbridge, Cuthbert
and Columbus road-bed and charter are
said to be owned by certain members of the
legislature, who had sufficient influence to
tack on the amendment killing the
bill. The road-bed of the proposed Cuth
bert line has boen unfinished since
about 1870. Several attempts have been
made to form a compuny to push the road
to completion, but they always failed, and
now when anew corporation comes in its
field and proposes building a line parallel to
the Cuthbert road, the bill granting the
CDarter is weighted down with an amend
ment which preclude* its being built. The
parties who prop' sed building t jo Georgia,
Alab ma and Florida road are not specu
lators, and it is certain that they will
decline to buy the road-bed and charter
of any company, so that the par
ties owning the Cuthbert charter will
not succeed in forcing the projectors
of the new road to jbuy their charter and
r, ad-bed. The building Iff the Georgia,
Alabama and Florida road was a project
gotten up by Columbus parties, inde
pendent of any existing railroad line, and
was backed by a heavy eastern syndicate,
which has heretofore been averse to putting
any money into a northwestern system.
The road was to run from Columbus to a
point in Florida, at or near Quincy, joining
tne Florida Central and Peninsular system,
and would eventually have tended to North
Alabama, there to connect with some
system having northwestern connections.
The statement of the president submitted
at the recent annual m eting of Pullman’s
Palace Car Compa y shows that the prop
erty continues in its oareer of prosperity,
little affected by rate wai-s, interstate and
state legislation, the making and breaking
of agreements between railway companies,
and the other occurrences which make tbe
management of railways no .vadays so un
certain and harassing. The in ome of the
company last year was $8,805,395, against
$7,509,754 in the previous year, show
ing an increase of nearly SBOO,OOO.
There were built and placed in
service during the year 141 sleeping,
parlor, dining and special cars at an aggre
gate cost of $3,511,596. This shows an
average cost of $17,813 each, a sum which
seems very large to put into a single car,
with its limited accommodations, when tne
same amount will build a large and sub
stantial residence which will outlive a score
or more of sleeping cars in the ordinary
course <<t events. The number of cars em
ployed in the Pullman service has reached
1,760 standard and 230 tourist or second
class cars. The report for 1888 showed 864
cars. Tbe assets of the company are esti
mated at $40,783,692. I,ast year’s report
placed them at $34,641,663, so that it seems
the prase't year has witnessed an addition
of $6,141,029, or almost 30 per cent, to the
company’s assets, a remarkable growth
explained partly by the absorption of other
companies and partly by the increase in
equipment and plant. The liabilit i* are
stated at $36,361,370, which indicates that
the Pullman c mpany is ahead of its debts
over $14,500,000. Avery large nnmber of
people share in ihe disbursements of this
great company, the total number em
ployed iu its manufacturing and operating
departments being stated at 11,063, while
the wages paid to them during the year
amounted to $5,770,341.
I suffered with liver complaint until life

A Poet’s fcoliloquy.
C old and dreary blew the night wind,
L ow! thus a poet once did muse,
O b. how silly for a wise man, thus to think
T o such degree of brief abstraction!
H ow often we poor mortals sink.
Inconsistency thou art a horrid vice
Nero, thy tyranny most aptly describes it
G rander than language; 1 can conceive
H ow much on earth for man to think
After reading all modern gush, bv gump,
T o ask some kind friend him iuto'a riverdump;
S ome other would tisk to press your foot
against his—
Frown at all this if you will,
U seless. all thy facial contortion;
R ather make thy countenance pleasing.
Nothing to mortal man more repulsive.
I often wander into space!
Silence there is like unto a dream;
H ere on earth mechinks man was placed.
I cannot otherwise conceive, but for infants to
nurse.
