To a Mornikg Kivrs reporter he said that he knew no more of the rumors of the change in tbo presidency of the Central railroad than be had wen in the newspapers, and in fact no more than when he last denied any knowl edge of such rumors, over two weeks ago. He said he had not been advised of any in tended changes among the Central railroad’s officials. Gen. Alexander did not seem disp sed to talk upon tbe subject and dimply entered a general disclaimer of any knowledge on the subject. ‘•You have seen in the papers where John H. Inman, who is stepping at the Hotel Bon Air in Augnsta, confirmed the report* ef the rumored change in the presidency of the road,'’ he was asked. “Yes, I have seen it,” he replied. “Will Mr. Rail’s death have any effect upon the present status of affairs in the Central railroad's management.” “I can't say,” was the reply. “I am not advised as to any changes.” "Mr. Hall was largely interested in the Central and the Georgia company, was he not?” "Yes. he was one of our vice presidents.” "Will there be any election to fill the Vacancy caused by his death?” “No, I think not. It is not necessary.” “It has been reported, general, that you will be made vice president or genera! man ager of the Richmond Terminal system when all. Ininai, is made president cf the Central.” “So I hear. The newspapers seem to be busy manufacturing reports lately.” “There is a rumor that the headquarters of the Central will be removed to Atlanta and some of the offices consolidated with the offices of other roads of the germinal sys tem.” “I know nothing of it,” replied Gen. Alexander. FOR CHEATING AND SWINDLING Dr. Smith Arrested on a Telegram from Tbom&sville.

The Savannah commercial traveler never takes a back seat anywhere. He it up on all subjects, and is able to lend a hand at anything, especially if there is any fan to be gotten out of it. When making a tour of the back country be it as ready to doctor a horse or prescribe for a baby as be it to sell a bill of goods or to sample a bottle of old rye. One of the youngest of the fraternity found bimteif not long ago a long distance out of hie usual territory, away up in ths mountains; in fact, where he had never been before, and where he was totally un known. His mission was to collect a bill some time overdue. He sueoeeOed in col lecting tbe bill and found bimteif with sev eral hours on his bauds before the next train would arrive. He waa lounging around the country store putting in bit time listening to the talk about the crops and wondering how ho should put In bis time. Just then an old white-headed negro walked into the store, very much dejected. "Hollo, uncle, what’s the matter?’ ex-’ claimed someone. "Dere’s a heap de matter, boas,” replied the old man. “I got to go to de court to day, and I spects it’ll go mighty hard with me.” “ What you got to go to the court for old man!” “It’s all about a hog, boss. Homebody’s hog tuck np on my place last mouth, and den when de folks over de branch claimed it dare was a row and somebody got hurted.” “Better get a lawyer, old man.” "1 ain’t able to hire no lawyer, boss, and de other folks has done got de be*test lawyer, anyhow." J ’ “Well. I’m sorry for you, old man, but I can't do anything for you,” was tee con soling replv. “Say old man. I’ll take your cas9,” said the commercial traveler. “Is you a lawyer, boss,” be asked. “You bet I am; lean just knock the socks off of any country lawjrer that 70s over saw.” The old man was delighted and begun his story at once. The newly fledged lawyer didn’t care so much about this, however. “Who’s going to try this case?” he de manded. The Justice was pointed out to him sitting on the of the neighboring hotel sun ning hiruself. The oarrister pro tempore walked over, and, approaching the Justice, passed the compliments of the day aud proceeded to enter into a conversation. Like all prudent men the drummer had a full supply of anti malarial antidote in bis valise, and pres ently he suggested that they take “some thing good.” The Justice readily assented, and after taking a oouple of heavy samples of Savannah whisky he thought the drum mer the best fellow in the world. “I hear there's going to be court here to day,” remarked the drummer after a while. “Yes, I’ve got a nigger case to try to day.” “What, are you the judge?” exclaimed the drummer in great surprise apparently. "Why, I came up here to try a case to day.” “Are you a lawyer?” exclaimed the justice in turn. "Yes sir,” was tbo reply, "and I came up here to defend an old negro; some trouble about a hog, I believe.” “You’ve got a mighty bad case, I’m afraid,” remarked tbe justice. “Look here, judge, vou’ve been talking with the other fellow about the case, Judge, haven’t you?” “Well, yes,” replied the justice. ”1 did have soma little talk about tha case with Simpson, as I cams up. He says the old man is bound to go to jail.” The drummer had heard that the other lawyer was a sharp fellow, and he began to think that he had taken a bad contraot, but he determined to make a bold bad break and get there somehow. “Great Scott, judge,” he exclaimed, “you wouldn't take that fellow’s opinion, would you. Why, you ought to hear how Fe talks about you. He thinks you don’t know any thing about law at all and all he’s got to do is to just get up there and say a thing is so and you’ll take his word for it He thinks he can do just what he wants with you.” This struck the nail pretty near on the head, but the justioe, like all juscioss, had a high sense of his own judicial judgment. “Why, I knew you for a sensible man by the time I laid eyes on you,” continued the wily traveler, “and I’m satisfied that you know the law so well that I won’t have to say anything at all when that fellow gets through. I’ll just leave the oase in your hands. I know what that fellow says won’t have any influence with you,” Auother drink from the traveler’s bottle convinced the justice that the opposing law yer was a fool and ought to be sat down on. When the case came up for trial the law yer was astonished to find that all his well made points were ignored. The drummer is no fool, anyway, and he made a rattling speech, pleading for the old man a grey hairs and making light of the attorney’s argument. The old negro was discharged aud the drummer proceeded to get out of town as soon as possible, lest his real character should be discovered. He is confiding to his friends that he always had a natural aptitude for law, anyhow, aud that he would be certain to make his mark at the bar. A B’NAI BRITH T- STIMONIAL. The District Grand Lodge’s Presenta tion to Past Grand Reir.ach. An interesting ceremony took place in Petersburg, Va., Sunday. It was the pre sentation of tbe beautiful testimonial directed by tbe Most Worthy District Grand Lodge No. 5, L O. 0. 8., to be given Mr. A. 8. Relnach. past president of the grand lodge.

One of the demi-monde living on Mont gomery street, near Alice, made an In effective attempt to end her career by swallowing poison late yesterday afternoon. The woman was evidently tired of life’s burden, and in a fit of remorse swallowed a big dose. The poison was in too large a quantity, however, and that faot saved her life.

Editor Morning As there has been so much disoussioo of the subject Gf “fewer weddings every year,” I would like, as a single young man, to say a word or two. I think you will agree with me that a young man cannot marry on <IOO a month, if he stops to think of the results. The ne cessity of having something to start out on, or a nest egg in bank for a rainy days, stares him in the face. How is he to get this nest egg on the salaries he has been getting ? It takes a very longtime for a clerk to get <IOO a month, as that Is consid ered a fine salary in then days. I agree with the young mother that there are some very deserving young women of the present day who have economical ideas and who are willing to sacrifice everything for the lord aud master of their hearts, but as they are few and far between, the aver age young man does not know where to look for them. If a bureau of information could be established, no dcubt we would uivtu uiu, i provided the couple will give up everything in their life, even an occasional trip to Tvbee in the summer, he figures below show for themselves: House rent S2O 00 Grocer and butcher SO 00 Cook 8 00 Washing 5 00 Coal and wood 6 00 Gas 2 00 Incidentals 10 00 Total SBO 00 You see a man getting a salary of 1100 a month, after deducting SBO for the neces saries of keening a house, will only have 120 left to furnish bis wife, ohildren and himself with clothing, hats, shoes, etc., and to pay doctor’s bills. 1 here is another thing to bs looked into. Suppose a young man has had the misfor tune to have been working with a firm which has retired or failed in business, or he himself has been siok, what is he to do, then? Starve to k-atb, steal or try to drown his sorrow in drink? This is not the case with one or two, but thousands. lam a single man and every time the idea of marrying enters my head, I think of those farts (which every young man should,.' and in one moment I see the folly it. Of course, if a young man wishes to make bis wife a washerwoman, oook or drudge, no doubt be could exist on one-haif the above amount, as I have known fami lies to do, but I oannot call that living com fortably, and no youug woman would con sent to such a proposition if she stopped to look into the matter, unless she was blinded by love or tue desire to get married to some one, no matter who, so long it is a man. These ate the reasons there are so many unhappy marriages and our courts are wasting their precious time in issuing divorces. As the old saying goes, “When pove-ty comes in tho front door love flies out of the back window.’’ On* of thb Boys. LOCAL PBCKBONAL. George Robert of Monticello is at the De Boto. F. L.

How the Nag Escaped Death at the Last Charge. From the Chtcago Kent. “There goes a man who could tell you a good horße story,” said Clerk Cobb, at the Tremont, to a A ews reporter, pointing to a tall, finely formed man who looked every icob uu athlete. “Who is the gentleman?” "W. P. Dewey, Jr., son of old Gen. Dewey of Yankton, S. D., and one of Da kota’s pioneers.” “Horse storyT soliloquized the good looking Yankton mau. “Wbv, yes, I can tell you one. It is about the good old gray that bore Gen. Cueter through his conflict on the Little Big Horn, aud the only living animal that is supposed to have escaped the murderous redskins, "Bonner was that horse’s name, and many Is the mile of prairie I covered with him be fore a government agent purchased him from my father. Bonner was foaled in Wisconsin in 1880. Father got him in 1871, and from that time until just before the battle of the Little Big Horn, the horse was my constant companion. “Mettle! Why, he was full of it. Once a lot of cattle thieves raided the ranches right in the outskirts of Yaukton and made off with thousands of dollars worth cf stock and horses. “Father was called to head a posse of vig ilantes. He had a light buckboard, ana, harnessing up Bonner with another nag, by many considered just as fine a piece of horseflesh, he flaw away over the prairie, tightly clutching the lines, with his Win chester strapped to bis knees. “It was a tough run. Over ravines, cracks and uneven ground the team fairly flew. The big, blaok running mate of Bonner finally fell dead in his tracks. "A cowboy who was leading a fresh Indian pony 'spanned him in,’ and away the team went again. A few miles farther and the pony dropped dead. This surprised father, but nevertheless he had to cut loose from the rig and ride on horseback with the others. “Bonner got into Yankton with his mount, not much worse for his trip. He was a hard trotter, but could be made to swing iuto a long-geared lope. “The horse seemed to be a born prairie and fighting animal. Should I ever fail off he would remain standing. In stalking antelope I found him a thorough ‘lndian.’ “At last Gen. Custer got him, and every body knows how Custer and his band mot death fighting a horde cf Sioux. An old rancher found Bonner injured and nearly dead the day after the battle. He nursed the animal around and my father afterward bought the sagacious fellow back. AVekept him at our home, showing him every care that lovers of horseflesh can think of until he died from an attack of glanders. We kept his mane and hoofs.” Grand Opening.
