MAY BE MACKEYS SCOOP
A RUMORTHAT HE HAS BOUGHT
THE MACON AND DUBLIN.
The Price Paid for It Said to be Not
Far from SIOO,OOO-The Macon and
Dublin to Form a Junction With
the Middle Georgia and Atlantic
Near Swamaboro, and Botb Roads
to Como on One Trade to Savannah.
It is be'ieved in Savannah by many that
Col. E. C. Machen and others connected
•with the Midile Georgia and Atlantic rail
way, have bought from Dudley M. Hughes
and others the franchise of the Macon and
Dublin read. It is s iid that this fact ac
counts for the sudden revival of the e iter
prise, anl that whe t President Hughes ob
tained, this '.eek, the right of way and
terminal property from the city council of
Macon, he had previously made the deal
with the Middle Georgia and Atlantic, and
it was thought best to keep the matter quiet
and let Mr. Hugues appear as the mover in
the matter.
A prominent merchant from Bartow,
who has large lauded interests along the
line of the proposed road, was in the city
yesterday, and he stated to a friend that the
iMachen people have bought the franchise of
the Macon and Dublin road, with the guar
antee that it will be built inside of twelve
months.
A SIOO,OOO DEAL.
The price to be paid is said to be not far
from SIOO,OOO, and it is understood that Mr.
Hushes retains a large interest in the road.
If this be true, the Macben people have
obtained at one scoop the right of way of
s xty miles of their road from Macon to
.Savannah, forty miles of which have been
graded, and tbe sudden movement of the
Central in starting this week to build over
the line of the Savannah, Dublin and West
ern from Ellabell to Dublin looks as if it
were to stave off the extension of the
Macon and Dublin by an air line to this
city. Some, however, hold to the view
that this movement of the Central is not
directed at any projected road by the
Macben company, but to checkmate the
Macon and Atlantic.
THE CENTRAL AIMING AT MACHEN.
Those who claim to believe that Col.
Machen has backing say that it is his
backers, and not tbe Sparks enterprise
which the Central is preparing to meet by
shortening the Hues of the Central to Maoon
and to Atlanta, and they say that the
Macon and Dublin will be extended to a
convenient junction with the Middle Geor
gia and Atlantic, and the two roads will
come in over one roadway, rights of way
having boon securod from Savannah to San
ders ville; and that if there was a doubt
j before that Col. Maohon could not raise the
money to build tbe Middle Georgia and
Atlantic, the scheme to bring in two inde
pendent lines of railway on one track from
Atlanta to Maoon, two of the principal
cities of the state, to the leading port of the
South Atlantic coast, removes all doubt.
It is believed that the plan is to form a
junction of the Macon, Dublin and Savan
nah road with the Middle Georgia and At
lantic at or near Swainsboro, from which
point the two roads will come in to Savan
nah on one track.

and was peculiarly emblematic. It was a
broken wreath and sickle, with a bunch of
ripe wheat falling over the sickle which had

REGISTRATION ABOUT CLOSED.
Only Seven More Days in Which to
Become a Voter.
The time is drawing close when it will bo
too late for those electors to register who
have been neglectful thus far. After to-day
there will remain but seven davs for regis
tering. The books will close Monday, June
2, and those who have not then registered
will have debarred themselves of the priv
ilege of voting for county and state officers
for two years.
Capt. John R. Dillon, clerk of the county
commissioners’ board, lias sent out postal
cards to some of the derelicts, and placards
have been posted in conspicuous places
throughout the city urging conservative
citizens to qualify for voling by immediate
registration.
The good effect of these notices is shown
by the registration list, which had slightly
over 3,300 names on it yesterday. This is
about 100 in excess of the entire county
registration of two years ago, and Registrar
Mclntyre said yesterday in reviewing the
list that in the main it is composed of the
more conservative and intelligent classes of
the community. He thinks that if the bet
ter classes of the voting population will
come out during the last week, the list
ought to be swelled to 3,809 or 4,090. He
does not expect that the list will fall short
of 3,500.
The greatest care has bean exorcised in
registering applicants, and oulv those who
were clearly entitled to vote ha ve been per
mitted to register, so that the list will be a
clean one for the Ootober and January
elections.

A PINE OR THE CHAINS.
Jane Andereon*s Choice Between
Two Penaltiee for Assaulting a White
Woman.
A rather interesting assault and battery
case took up tbe greater part of the after
noon session of the city court yesterday,
and Jane Anderson, tbe colored defendant,
was found guilty of an assault upon Mrs.
Patrick, a white woman, and was fined SSO
or four months on the chain-gang.
There came very near being a scene in tbe
hall outside of the court room. Mrs.
Patrick, the prosecuting wituess, boiling
iug over with indignation from tbe manner
in which Mr. Pease, c juussl for
the defendant, had referred to ber in
his argument, met Mr. Pease in the
hall after the trial was over, and was quite
pointed in ber language, and was in quite a
belllgereut attitude when Deputy Sheriff
Coustantiue came between aud induced Mrs.
Patrick to step into the jury room, while
Mr. Pease stepped back into the court room
until tbe indignant woman left the building.
It appeared fretn the tes.imony that the
trouble which le 1 up to the prosecution of
the Anderson womi\n started last Saturday
noon in Sims street. The colored people
had gathered about one Charley Lopez,
a young man jus returned from
the asylum, and were threatening to take
him to Frogtown and "kerosene him” for
tbe alleged theft of a clock from some negro
cabin. Mrs. Patrick interfered and plead
for tbe young man on account of his mental
disorder, when the Anderson woman pushed
Mrs. Patrick and used foul language aud
followed her on vengeance bent.
Mrs. Patrick, boiling over with rage, wont
home and got a pistol and returned to the
scene with blood in her eye, but the object
of her wrath seemed to have got an inkling
that Mrs. Patrick was gunning for her, ana
concealed herself in a place of safety.
The court in summing up tlie case took
cognizance of the argument of Mr. Pease,
which intimat and that the color line has been
too often drawn In the courts. Judge Har
den said that, t here had been no disposition
to draw the color line in bis twelve years on
the bench until the counsel’s remarks seemed
to invite it On the contrary, the court said
that in 97 out of 100 cases the colored people
have preferred to be tried by the court rather
than by a jury, and where colored defend
ants have been tried by a jury they have
almost invariably objected to colored per
sons. Some of the colored people, the court
said, are people of good character, their
credit is good, aud that class are deserving.
Some are the lowest of the low. He stated
that he would not be influenced by the color
of the witnesses but by the character of
witnesses, and as the cise had been made
out ho would assess the penalty, which has
been given a ore. A stay was granted
until Monday to give the woman a chance
to raise the money and pay 'her fine to
avoid chain-gang service.
ABEL GETB OFF EASY.
Policeman McMurray'a Man Fined
$57 In Police Court.
William Abel (colored), who attempted to
shoot Policeman Me Murray night before
last, was before the mayor yesterday morn
ing; and wns lined #57 for disorderly conduct
and for drawing a pistol on the officer.
Abel paid the fine. He was then remanded
to jail to answer before the city court the
charge of carrying concealed weapons. He
was not behind the bars long before he ten
dered bond and was released.
There w ere three charges against Abel.
One was the attempt to shoot McMurray.
Of the three this was the gravest. The case,
which it was thought would go b fore the
superior court, has been partly set lei with
a line.
Abel sa : d that he drew the pistol to give
to McMurray. This statement, it apppaars,
ameliorated the charge, McMurray s lid
tiiat when be ordered the man to move 01,
Abel refused, and he put his hand on Abel’s
collar and said, "come with me.” It was
then that Abel resisted and throw his hand
bemud him, and drawing a revolver at
tempted to shove it into the officer's f ice.
An officer said last night that the only
reason why the pistol did not go off nml kill
McMurray was that the catch spring be
hind the hammer was out of place. The
officer said it was silly to think that resist
ing as hard as Abel did he should suddenly
feel it a duty to give the arresting officer
the weapon.
Abel said, when he jerked tho pistol out,
“You can have this, too.” McMurray said
that tho tone of the man’s voice and the
glare in his eyes did not indicate a poaceful
mind, and his impulses were to protect him
self from a man whom he believed was
trying to kill him. If he had not bean so
impressed he would have had no cause to
shoot at the man when he tried to escape.

THE AUGUSTA ENCAMPMENT.
The Guards’ Failure to Go Will Not
Affect Other Companies.
The action of the Guards in deciding, at
the last moment, not to enter the encamj>-
ment at Augus’a, was the talk in military
circles yesterday. The Guards would have
gono into camp with about a hundred men,
but their determination not to go will not
disarrange any plans of the other companies
going from Savannah.
The Cadets and Hus.sars will probably
enter the largest number of niea from any
single company. All of the companies which
go up will spend the entire we ek in camp.
Macon will not send a company, and At
lanta will send only the First Battalion of
Georgia Cavalry. Columbus will send a
company and Augusta will enter two or
three companies. Americus, Albanv,
Brunswick, Thomasville, Fort Gaines, Val
dosta and Waynesboro "'id enter for the
week. It is estimated that 1,200 men will
be ii camp. '
The encampment is the result of the act
passed by tne last legislature appropriating
$0,500 to pay tho expense of tho encamp
ment The items provided for are trans
portation and one dailv ration for each
man. In lieu of tho ration, which is incon
venient this year because tho commi ;sary
department is n it organized, the advisory
board has decided to pay the captain of
each oompany 60 cents a day for each man.
This, the Chronicle savs, is double the
money value of the United States army
ration, aud upon it the men can live boun
tifully under a mess arrangeaieut. Some of
the companies will supplement this allow
ance from their own treasurers, it is said,
and live right royally.
CITY BREVXTIE3.
Two cases were reported at police head
quarters this morning, one a colored man
charged with stealing sls lrom another
man, and the other a case of disorderly
conduct.
Mr. Gugie Bourquin has a curiosity on
his place in the shape of a dead pear tree
which is bearing fruit. He savs the tree
died last August. Twigs of the dead tree
with the fruit attached have been brought
to this city and shown to several parties.
It has been observed that the moon lies
well to tho north, and Mr. Gugie Bourquin,
who is a close observer, says that he has
noticed during the winter months that when
the moon rises and sets so far north cold
aud dry weather prevail. He predicts that
the uights will be cool and the weather dry
during the present month. Mr. Bourquin
says the cool nights now indicate this.

SHE MADE HIM SMILE.
Queer Questions the Park Police are
Called Upon to Answer.
Asa rule the police stationed in the park
are noted for their politeness and courtesy,
and innumerable are the questions asked
them, from tbe time of day to
queries that would have mad 9 Solomon
tired. Recently an officer was leaning
against the railing surrounding the foun
tain, when he was approached by an elderly
couple, evidently from the country.
"Mr. Officer,” said the old la ly. "there
isn’t any harm in axing you a few que;-
tions, is there!”
“Certainly not, madam,” said he with a
bow.
"Well, we want to know whose monny
ment that is?” pointing to tbe statue on tbe
fountain.
“That is a fountain, madam,” said the
officer.
“Gracious me!” said the lady to her com
panion. “Old man, that must have been
John Fountain, who used to live at Laurel
Hill, near us, and was rich; and so I s’pose
when he died his folks put this here moany
ment over him. Well, I declare!”
“I said it was a fountain, madam,” inter
posed the officer.
“Oh, yes,” said she; "old John Fountain;
we knowed him well.”
This was fcco much for the guardian of
the peace, and he turned aside to hide a
smile.
On another occasion a member of the
force was on duty in the park when he was
beset by a party of lady tourists who plied
him with question after queition, ranging
from Henry George aud his land theories to
the difference between tbe hybiscus and
the azalia. Never was Hibernian ingenuity
and gallantry put to such a test. Fiua'ly
one of the ladies pointed to tbe figu es in
the basin of the fountain and inquired if
they ware mermaids. "No, madam, them’s
Trvtoons,” said he.
“Oh,” said she, “they were in attendance
at the birth of Venus. Were they not?”
“Never heard of that, but i don’t doubt
it at all," replied the officer, boldly.
“But,” continued the lady, “there is some
difference in them, for two have beards and
two have not. How is that, officerC’
"Well, madam," said he. wearily, “them
two had leisure last Saturday, and I sup
pose they went down town and got shaved. ”
Sue gazed at him sadly, tears filled her
eyes. “So young and so false,” she mur
mured and passed on, while the officer won
dered whether the city council would
pension his family in case he died of soften

of a watch from E. J. Thompson. Tho
watch was valued at $52. The boy was sus
pected of the theft, and upon being arrested

officer that he gave the watch to a negro
boy, but upon investigation the negro boy
to whom Williams said he gave it had not
been in town in several weeks. Williams
refused to give any more information
about tbwwatch. He said that he gavo it

Longshoremen Want Fifty Cents Ad
vance for Loading Lumber.
At a meeting of the Lumber Working
men's aud Union Association, held last
night, it was decided to ask au increase of
50 cents a day for loading lumbar. The
present price Is #1 50 and $2. There are
between eight and nine ships iu port load
ing lumber. Six of them are at tne Savan
nah, Florida and Western rail wav wharves,
and the others are at the Central railroad
wharves. They will be finished by Tues
day. After that time the new rate of 5
cents per hour will be asked.
Tne workingmen have informed the
stevedores of their demands and the masters
of vessels will bd notified to-day. it is un
usual for the longsh ireman to demand an
advance at tills time. They work gener
ally thorough the year for the same rates,
but they are complaining that the work is
laborious and that it is worth what the v
ask.
At the meeting last night the longshore
men were well represented. One hundred
and sixty-four members of the association

MR. DAVIS’ FIRST MARRIAGE.
An Incident in the Life of the Late
Ex-President Recalled.
The death of Mrs. Lifuvetta Mclgiws re
calls an Incident in the life of the late
Jefferson Davis. Mrs. McLaws was a cousin
of the ex-previdont’s first wife, aud it was
at the home of Mrs. McLaws’ mother that
Mr. Davis was first married. Mrs. McLaws,
whose intimacy with the family made her
information reliable, always denied tho
truth of the oft-published story that Mr.
Davis and his bride eloped. Her cousin was
of age, and, while her unde, Gen. Zachary
Taylor, did not approve of the match, yet,
when he learned the young people intended
to get married, he wrote to Mrs. McLaws’
mother requesting that the marriage cere
mony be performed at her house, stating
that he could uot attend. The wishes of

SAVANNAH’S SANITARIUM.
The Value of Tybee Island to the City.
It is very difficult to estimate the value
of Tybee to the City of Savannah. It has
been a great blessing to our people, and
especially so to the children. It is the ex
perience of every family that as spring and
summer approach there is a flagging of the
energies of the different members of the
household. Tbe appetite is lost and it be
comes apparent that the services of the
physician must be invoked. Those who
have a place on Tybee simply take an out
ing for n day or week, or for the summer,
aud the effects physically and mentally are
magical. It dispels tbe cares of the busi
ness man and invigorates him for each
day’s trials before they occur.
