AN OUTLET FOR THE WEST
GEN. ALEXANDER ON JAY GOULD’S
R-MORED PLRCHASE
What It Means for Savannah in Gen.
Alexander’s Opinion—The Centrol’s
President Not Informed, But Ee Does
Not Doubt That Gould is in the Deal.
Gen. Alexander was seen yesterday by a
Morning News reporter about the deal by
which it is reported Jay Gould has got con
trol of the Richmond Terminal syst-m-
Ger. Alexander raid he knew nothing of it
except what be had seen in tte newspapers,
and ted had no further information cn the
subject. He said.
“I cannot sav whether there is any truth
in tte retort or not. but such a thing is en
tirely possible, ar.d also proha tie. The peo
ple of thi* country should hope and 'pray
that it may be true, for it will mean a great
deal f r thus ecii< u. Gould has probab.y
bough' fit'.OOO.OWJ worth of Richmond
Terrains: sock, which, at the present
market price, he could obtain for about
$],500,0b.'. This w uld give him a place on
the board, and a voice in the c ntrol of the
road. Richmond Terminal stock is now j
v-=ry low, being footed at 14 at the close of
the market a este; day.
GOULD'S PROBABLE IDEA.
"Gould’s idea, in my opinion, is to secure
anew route by which the traffic of his west
ern roads can lie delivered to New York
aud the eastern market*. The Richmond
Terminal system and the S.uth Atlantic
ports afford this outlet.”
‘•Gould's system of railways,” Gen.
Alexander added, lies entirely west of the
Mississippi, forming a [erfect net
work of railways throughout ala ge
eecti n of the nest ani southwest, including
the Texas Pacific and other large systems.
Heret.fore t eir traffic with New York Las
been carried on over the n rthern lines. The
Richmond Terminal will afford anew out
let, and such a deal as it is reported has
been made means the turning of an im
mense amount of business in this direction.
WILL CORE TO SAVANNAH.
“The western trade with the north
ern markets will cotne iu this direc
tion and be carried to New York
by steamship from Savannah and other
ports. The wc-s’ero sup- lien of boots, shoes
and manufactured arucl s from the north
and east will be carried in return by the
same route. This meas a great deal for
this oouotry, if true. I means more ships
for Savannah, and more men on the
wharves ana more business generally.
“Mr. Gould kew he could lose notnihg by
buying Richmond Terminal stock at 14.
Having a voice in its management he can
make satisfactory arrangements, and by
turning the immense traffic of his western
lines in this direction he will build up the
Richmond Twminal a;, stem aud make a
large profit by the increased value of its
stock.”
PUSHING A NEW LINE.
A Party of Macon and Dublin Offi
cials In Town.
A party of officials of the Macon and
Dublin railroad arrived by the Central
last night, and are at the De Soto. The
party consists of Jamas F. Wright, presi
dent, of Macon, formerly of Illinois; A. C.
Toper of Chicago, trea*arer; W. D. Ducey
of Michigan, and J. M. Stubbs of Dublin.
They are in town on business connected
with the Macon and Dublin.
President Wright was seen at the De Soto
last night by n Moe.ni.no News reporter
and was asked about the progress of the
road. He says work is being pushed rapidly
along the line. Nearly the whole dist.-.nee
between Macon and Dublin has been graced,
ten miles of track i.as leer lai 1 and the
rails for the whole distance are on the
ground. The distance from Macon tj
Lublin is flftv-two miles.
“A large force of bands is now at work
and the line will be computed within a few
month-;,” said Preside t Wright. “The road
will not have to be bonded to complete It,
as all the money nice*ary has been sub
scribed by the parties interested.”
It is the intention of the company, so
Mr. Wright sava, to push on from Dublin in
the direction of Savannah as soon as the
line from Macon to Dublin is com
pleted. The line will be com
pleted to some point near
La varnish. If they can get into Savannah
they will com? in, b it from the exp essions
of the party they did not seem to expect to
get an e try to Savannah. “A point near
Savannah” is the manner la which thev ex
pressed it.
The Macon ana Dublin is an Independent
line, and is not proceeding on the charter of
the old Savannah, Dublin and Western
Short Lane. It is a rival line to the Macon
and Atlantic, and some time ago enjoined
that road from constructing its line
through certain territory in close
proximity to the Macon and Dublin. The
injunction was not sustained, however.
\\ ork was begun on the line iu July and
has been pushed rapidly, besides the
Georgia parties interested the bickers of
the line are Illinois and Michigan capital
ists who are putting considerable m may
into the euterpris9. They seem to mean
business.
President Wright is a young man from
Illinois, though be now calls himself “a
Georgia cracker,” and he might very well
pass for one; that is, he is a gentleman of
pleasant an I affable manners. It is under
stool that several parties in Savannah are
interested in the Macon and Dublin.
BOUCHILLON—OSTEEN.
A Pretty Wedding at the New Hous
ton Btreet Parsonage.
Mr. Joseph L. Bouchillon of Abbeville
county. South Carolina, and Miss Anna Os
teon of Bryan county, were married by the
Rev. D. F. PJley at the New Houston Street
Church parsonage at 7 o’clock last night.
Miss Maury E. Laßoche of Savannah and
Mr. J. J. Osteen of Pembroke were tho at
tendants. Immediately after tho ceremony
the party repaired to the home of Mr. A. B.
Laßoche. where a reception was hold
until 9 o’clock. Pretty presents
and warm congratulations enlivened tho
occasion. The most charming feature of
the entertainment was a duet "The
Bride,’’ rendered by Mrs. Ixiuis W. Roberts
aud Mr. J. W. Laß< iche. The bride is the
eldest daughter of Mr. T. J. Osteen, and is
the favorite of a large circle of friends iu
Chatham and Bryan counties. The groom
is an employe of Mr. J. R. Eason and is
much eoteemed by the friends he has
made in Savannah. Mr. and Mrs. Bouchil
lon will reside at No. 190 New Houston
street.
TEE NEW QUARANTINE BTATION.
The Mayor and. City Council to In

A PERSONAL DAMAGE BILL.
Beproeentatitv Clifton’s BUI Against
Corporations
A leedisg attorney of Savannah called
the attention of a Morning News repre
sentative yeeterday to the following bill,
recently introduced into the House by
Representative Clifton. t” make all corpo
rations except rai-way ami other public
corporations liable for personal .njurie-* re
ce.ved by their employes to the vaui-extent
as raiirripl companies are now liable:
Be it enacted by the general a-serobly of the
state of Geor.ia. that hereafter all corporations
hoing busui-sa a t -is state (except public " -r
--poraiion* a* defined in section 167- of the Code
of Georgia, shall b• liable for personal injuries
received by t: eir employes to the same extent
as railroad companies are now liable, an i tie
fact that the damage was caused by f.e fault
or negligence of another employe shall be no
bar to a recovery if the person injure i was
without fauit or negligence contributing to the
injury.
The attorney declared the bill to lie of a
i moet radical character. “A railway com
pany," ne said, “is liable for injury to an
employe, earned by the negligence of
another employe, and the purport of the
bill is to piace all other corporations, public
or private, under the same ob
ligations to ti.eir employes. Un
der this law every private
enterprise in Savan ab doing business un
der a charter, whether from the 1 gisiature
or the superior court, will be liable for
damages to a-v employe injured through
the negligence < f another employe.
The Chatham Real Estate and Improve
ment Com; any, or any other real estate or
I an company in this city, will be liable for
damages if a cureless negro in its employ
should happen to choo off the foot
of a feilow employe cr injure” him in any
way. Any clarterei printing company
w,U be liable for damages if a printer or
pressn an h uld happen to dr' p a form or
any heavy peace of machinery upon the f ot
of another printer or othre employe. Any
incnrpr rated buiness houe would be liable
for uamages if one employe should be in
jured by the carelessness of another. The
passage of such a bill would b- a blow at
the interests cf all incorporated com
panies. ”
TidfC DALY SUIIS TRIED.
Judgments Rendered in Favor of
Capt. Doyle— a Dramatic Incident.
The suits entered in Justice Bheftail's
court against Capt. M J. Doyle by James
Daly for the reoovery of nine claim papers
against the United States g vermuent,
which he said ilo had put into Capt. Doyle’s
hau ls for collection, were tried before the
justice yesterday afternoon, and resulted in
judgments in each pass in favor of the de
fendant.
There were were nine suits in all, and
Capt. Doyle’s attorneys, O’Conner &
O’Byrr.e, agreed to have them tried to
gether instead of separately.
It was proven conclusively that Daly had
never given Capt Doyle any papers, and
the only thing of the nature of the docu
u ents which Daly sued for were several
copies of claims against the government
which Mrs. Daly, mother of the plaintiff,
had tried to have recognized for years
without success.
There was a dramatic scene when Capt.
Doyle, in his testimony, denounced Daly as
a blackmailer and a scoundrel. Justice
Hbeftnll war ed Capt Doyle against placing
himself in contempt of court, and the
doughty captain, with fire in his eye. replied
that he cared for neither court* or jury,
when his honor and manhood were at
stake, and he proposed to defend it at all
hazards.

which is unusually wide closo to the win
dow. Her foot was sprained and her knee
injured. Cora will probably bo confined to
her bod for some time.

HOW TO STUDY BOTANY.
Dr. Clifton Offe.s Rome Valuable
Suggestions.
From the ilacon i Cfa.) Telegraoh.
During the las; two years I have written
a number of articles which have been pub
lished in the Telegraph, giving plain in
structions how to commence and pursue the
study of one of the most fascinating depart
ments of natural h.story—the insect world.
The favor with which these articles were
received, as shown by many letters from
teachers and others, reporting most satis
factory results gi -wong out of the instruc
tion of the study of natural objects in
schools and at home, has encouraged me to
commence still another series of articles,
giving instructions how to commence and
pursue the study of another very interest
ing department of natural history—botany,
or the natural history of plants.
But little expense need be incurred in the
purchase of appliances, aud no previ
ous scientific training is neee sary on the
part of pupils.
During the sh rt days of winter, now ap
proaching, botany may be studied indoors.
Ihe following hat of articles include ail
that are absolutely necessary, and the
attention which the plants require can
be given by any intelligent boy or girl of 10
years of age.
L Purchase two or more soup plates, or
select them from those in the pantry, the
edges of which have been chipped so they
are no longer sui able toappear on the table.
Instead of soup plates, the shallow earthen
ware flower pots used by the florisls will
answer, or even old vegetable cans will do.
2. Go to the seed store and for 10 cents
the seedsman will give you a few each of a
variety of seeds. Select a dozen butter
beans, as many English garden peas, a
dozen grains of Indtau corn, some wheat,
oats, barley and rye. Get also a few bulbs,
one or two Irish potatoes and some onions.
3. Get about half a gallon of clean sand,
such as masons use. It is best to sift it aud
wash out all organic matter.
4. When the sand is dry sift into each of
the soup plates enough to fill it eveu wit a
the top. It will save labor if you also pro
vide two or more panes of glass, large
enough to cover the soup plates, to be used
as covers, thus preventing the too rapid
operation of the wa er.
Now take one of the soup plates filled
with sand, and make a dozen holes with
your fingers or with a small stick, and, iu
ouch, plant one of the butter beaus, cover
ing it with half an inch of Band. Sprinkle
water over the plate of sand until it is com
pletely saturated, and then place over it one
of the panes of glass, and set it in a warm
place.
You should also provide yourself with a
small blaas book and pencil, and when you
have planted the beans make the first record
in your book sav:
Dec. I—Planted1 —Planted twelve butter beans in
piate No. 1.
On the next day or twenty-four hours
after the beaus were planted, raise the
glass cover and take out carefully one of
the beans; examine its condition aud make
a note of it in your blank Look. It would
bo this:
After twenty-four hours in the moist
sand bean No. 1 shows that it h is absorbed
water from the sand and is considerably
swollen.
Next day at the same hour, as nearly as
may be convenient, resurrect bean No. 2
and make the proper entry:
Bean No. 2, after forty-eight hours ex
posure is the moist sand, is very much en
larged and has commeuced splitting into
two halves. By sticking a pin into it it
appears to be also much softened.
Next day again take out bean No. 3. It
will be found separated into two halves,
held together by a little band that acts like
a hinge.
On the fourth day the bean is found
pushing itself through the sand, aud the
two halves well spread out, and, under a
lens, tiny rootlets will be seen growing
down from the lower part of the ligament,
or hinge that holds the two halves together.
On the fifth day the leaves of the fifth
bean are nearly above ground, the littlo
hair-like roots are plainly visible, and also a
plumule or bud on the upper portion of the
ligament.
Next day, bean No. 0 is entirely above
ground. The roots now hold it firmly and
the plumule is seen to be another pair of
leaves, rapidly unfolding, raised on a stem
above the first pair or seed leaves.
TLe remaining six beuns may now be left
alone for a few days as they grow in the
plate and the ohanges through which they
pass carefully noted.
It is plainly seen now that there was
packed away in each one of the butter
beans a tiny plautlet, surrounded with
food, in the shape of vegetable albumen,
forming the greater portion or tho two
Halves of tho bean, and that when the little
plantlet waked up aud stretched it -elf out
at full length one part became a
root and pushed itself down in the
ground to anchor the plant seourely; that
the other end pushed itself up into the air
and became a stem, on which was hung
first the two halves of the bean or the seed
leaves containing the food necessary for the
littlo plant to commence its growth, and
Inter two new leaves formed from the first
plumule.
In the next article we will examine the
other six Deans.

CIGARS OLKVERLY JUGGLED.
English Importers Find Havana Boxes
billed with Chips.
From the New York Sun.
Thousauds of dollars worth of Hue Havana
cigars have been stolen from the cases on
the way from the factories in Havana to
England in the last few months, and the
thieves have done their work so well that
detectives aud watchers have not found a
single clue.
Cigars made in Havana are packed in
boxes of 50 and 100 each at the factory.
Those boxes are out into big pine cases, 100
of the larger boxes and 300 of the smaller
ones to a case. A great many are shipped
to England by way of this country. They
come here bv the boats of the New York
aud Cuba Transportation company, and
are stored in a bonded warehouse until
instructions come to forward them to
England. The cases are not opened here,
because, not Leing intended for sale in this
country, no duty is collected. From the
time the cases leave the factories until they
reach the consignees in England they are
supposed not to oe tampered with. Neither
the agents nor the detectives are willing to

Highest of all in Leavening Power.—U. S. Gov’t Report, Aug. 17, 1889.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
the detectives’ efforts to find out the thieves,
| but the main facts are as follows:'
The first of the series of thefts was discov
ered several months ago when a case was
opened. To ail appearances everything
was regular. When the boxes we-e opened
it was found that several were filled with
chips of wood. From the fact that tha case
was in good condition it was concluded
that the theft had been committed by work
men in the fac ory. Meantime other con
signees opened other cases and also found
boxes of chips instead of cigars. Tnese
cases came from different factories, and not
one showed a trace of having been tampered
with.
Evidently there were thieves in more
factories than one in Havana. It is not
thought possible that the cases had been
rifled during the passage, and therefore the
first complaints went to the factories and
the investigation began there. The manu
facturers were positive that every box was
full of cigars when it left the factory. The
matter rested until the next consignment of
cigars got to England, and more btxes of
chips were found. Taeu a watch was put
on tne packers in the factory. Nothing
came of it. Finally it was concluded that
the robberies took place after the
cases left the factories, and the
steamship company put special watch
ers on the piers and steamships.
They had no better luck than the watchers
in the factories. They reported that the
cases were not tampered with while in their
care. Yet when the cases got to their des
tination in England many were found to
have been rifled and partly filled with chips.
Detectives were set at work. They fiddled
along for a while, and the robberies con
tinued. If anything, the thieves were
bolder than before, and stole more cigars
out of each case. The aggregate value of
the cigars stolen was getting very large,
and finally it was decided to put a perpetual
watch on the cigars from the time they
were made t.i the time they were delivered
to the purchasers.
Detectives went to the factories. They
actually siw the cigars put into the boxes.
They saw the same boxes put into the cases.
They traveled with them to the steamship
and saw them stowed away in tho hold.
Then they cama with them to New York,
saw tho hatches opened aud the ca-es taken
from the hold aud set dowu on the pier.
Apparently every case was just like it was
when it left the factory. The detectives
watched the cases as they went to the
bonded warehouse. They reported every
thing serene. From the warehouse they
wont with them to tne steamship on which
they were to be shipped for Europe. They
took pas -age on the same ship. Finally
they watched them in the transfer from the
dock in England to the consignees’ place of
business aid saw them opened. They were
sure that not a case had been tampered
with, and concluded that the thieves must
have known of their presence as watchers.
They were disappointed when it was dis
covered that the cases had been opened aud
boxes of cigars stolen just as if they hadn’t
been watched at all. The cases had been
weighed once or twice on transit, and at
every place the weight was exactly the
same. The boxes containing chips were
weighed and were found to tally exactly
with a box of cigars.
Since the trip of the detectives every con
ceivable trap has been set to catch the
thieves, but they have not even nibble!.
The robberies continued up to a week or so
ago, when they stopped as suddenly as they
began.
The detectives are still at work and have
hopes.
In this city Acting Inspector McLaugh
lin’s men now have he mystery in charge.
Asa rule, tobacco and cigars that arrive
from Havana stay on the pier where they
are unloaded at night. “The last
gang” of river pirates has not been broken
up, but it is hardly considered possible that
the steamship pier c uld have been plun
dered. On each of the Ward line piers
there are four watchmen, one at the gate
one at the river end, and two stationed near
the center of the pier. The exact value of
the cigars stolen is not known, but an em
ployee of tho company who is in a position
to know, said yesterday that tho amount
was more than SIO,OOO, and might be as
much as $20,000.
SAW MACON IN 1832.
Recollections of Other Days, as Told
by Chauncoy Vibbard.
From the M lacon < Ga.) Telegraph.
A remarkable old man is Chauucey Vib
bard, who is spending the winter with his
son-in-law, A. Craig Palmer, in this city.
In 1860 Mr. Vibbard was eleoced to con
gress from New York. Although a demo
crat, he was elected by 500 majority in tho
same district where Lincoln, in his first
campaign, got a republican majority of
3,500.
At that time Mr. Vibbard had already
become widely known as a railroad man
ager of uncommon ability. His capacities
in that line attracted tho attention of Presi
dent Lincoln. It was at the beginning of
the war, when men of ability were in great
demand. Lincoln waived all questions of
political preference in the case of Mr. Vib
bard, whom he appointed war manager of
all the railroads in the United States, with
full power to run all trains necessary in
conveying federal troops and supplies. He
still has the paper making this appointment,
bearing tho signature of Secretary Stanton.
Mr. Vibbard, although now in his 80th
year, has a very distinct remembrance of
President Lincoln and his family. He says
Lincoln always dressed plainly,'and that ne
often saw the President’s children, among
them the little Robert Todd, who af'erwara
grew up to be minister at the court of St.
James, running around in copper-toed shoes.
Mr. Vibbard says he clearly remembers
having sesn Aaron Burr aid John Quincy
Adams. Ha considers Burr the handsomest
man he ever saw. Ha says that he has still
in his possesion the pLtols with which was
fought the memorable and fatal duel be
t weonJAaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton.
They are very crude old weapons, but have
“hair triggers," made to spring at the
slightest touch of the finger. His recollec
tions of Adams are not so distinct, and lie
thought him a rather ordinary looking man.
In 1832, when Mr. Vibbard was a youth
of 21 years, bo came south to find employ
meat. From New York he weut to Savan
nah by steamer, and from there he took a
boat up the Ocmulgee to Macon. While in
this city, which was even then of consid
erable importance, Mr. Vibbard went to
Columbus and to Montgomery, Ala., by
stage. There he found employment in the
general merchandise store of Pond & Con
verse, which was then the largest establish
ment in town. He remained there about a
year and a half before returning north.
Mr. Vibbard’s recollection of Macon as it
appeared to him on nis first visit in 1832 are
meager. He remembers, however, that he
stopped at the Hotel Lanier, which was
where it is now, and that the bar run in
connection with it was free to ail the
guests of the hotel. Indians were to bo
met with everywhere on the road as he
went to Columbus, but they were all quiet
and harmless.

In the “Bachelor’’ Girl Here?
I waa thinking, a few days ago, on the
subject of Matrimony, and somehow or
other the conclusion came over me that
the girls nre :.ot “marrying off” as rapidly
this season as in days gone by, and I am
surely afraid that we are about to have the
“bachelor girl” on our hands. Girls.' let me
protest against this alarming depression in
tie matrimonial market. Stocks may go
down, securities may fluctuate, but any
tendency to single wretchedness can
not be condemned too strongly.
Stir up the young men. If they
are wavering, throw out an encouraging
sign. Besides, tou don’t appreciate the
many advantages that hinge on matrimony
that you are missing. I was looking through
Sternberg's mammoth jewelry and art
palace a day or two ago, and when my at
tention was called to tables and shelves and
show casts jammed with article* solely tor
w edding presents, I wondered at the weak
ness of the marriage spirit. Oh! girls, girls,
you don’t know what you are losing, and
the sooner you get tho y oung men “down
to business,” and the sooner they get to
Sternberg’s, the quicker all will be happy.
