ceiver’s Certificates to be Issued—
A Committee Appointed to Prepare

At a meeting of the bondholders of the
Marietta and North Georgia Railroad
Company, held in New York recently, a
resolution was adopted to deposit the fore

Hamer, George R. Eager and J. W. Ogden
were appointed a committee to take steps
toward issuing $1,100,000 of receiver’s cer
tificates, having priority over the mortgage
securing the bonds, and to obtain from the
courts proper orders therefor. The certi fi
estas will bear interest at ti per cent., pay
able semi-annually, and will not be sold for
less than par.
The bonds according to the resolution,
will have to remain in the custody of the
Central Trust Company for a period of six
months, after which they may be returned
upon the surrender of the receipts or certifi
cates representing the same. The f 1,100,-
000 uto exnended for the building of the
bridge at Knoxville and for the better equip
ment of the road.
The committee was also instructed to pre
part-a plain for the reorganization of the
road, and this plan will be summitted to tbe
bondholders at a meeting to held an early
day.
It is claimed by Maj. Hartridge's friends
that his financial troubles, resulting from
his connection wish the Marietta and North
Georgia, arc about at an end. and the reor
ganization of the road, wkiob will, doubt
less, take place at an early day, will benefit
him materially.
THE CENTRAL’S NEW WHARVE3.
The Deepening of tbe Ogeecbee Ca
nal a Great Work.
The Central railroad has completed the
work of deepening the Ogoeohee canal. It
was finished within five minutes of the time
allowed the company by the city In which
to complete the canal before enforcing the
ordinance prohibiting the upturning of the
soil.
Work began April 17, but owing to vari
ous delays and interferences only about ten
days of steady work were put in, during
which time between 400 and 500 men wore
employed. An immerse amount of work
was accomplished in this spare of time.
The canal was deepened from 1,000 feet
south of hay street to its mouth at the river,
a total distance of 2,000 feet, to a depth of
six feet, the previous average depth having
been only three feet.
To increase tbe depth of a canal 2,000 feet
long by 70 feet wide three feet throughout
its whole area was uo small work. Rail
road tracks were run along the bottom of
the canal, from which the water had been
drawn, and also along the banks ou each
side. The mud and earth were thrown Into
fiat cars, and hauled out of the canal aud
thrown up on the banks on each side. Sev
eral carloads of lime were used as a disin
fectant on the banks.
A wharf sixty feet wide has been built
along the bauks of the canal tor 1,000 feet
south of Bay street, joining the wharf run
ning from Bay to River street, giving a
wharf of 2,000 feet, the total length of the
canal. A tramway road will be run from
the rosin yards to the wharf and alongside
the canal, making the transfer of naval
stores a comparatively easy matter
All the rosin shipments of the Central
railroad, tho pig iron shipments and a large
portion of the cotton will be bandied from
this wharf. Lighters will be run on the canal
to the ships at the Ocean Steamship Com
pany’s wharves, aud a great saving will be
made in the immense amount of labor now
employed in trucking cotton, rosin and pig
iron from the cars to the vessels.

young colored men, engaged in a quarrel

Alexander ran down Barnard street
and into Broughton street iaue,
with the policeman following closely
at his heels. The women continued
to call for police, and a negro boy who
happened to have a police whistie blew
it vigorously. This brought a big crowd of
people and several polioemen into Brouigh
ton street, but nobody seemed to know what
the trouble was, as the negro and his
pursuer had disappeared in the lane.
Policeman Bossell captured Holmes near
Bull street and carried him to the barraoks.
He threw away the pistol in the chase, but
it was ptoked up by a boy, who gave it to
the officer.
Holmes has been wanted by the police for
some time for stealing a watch.

COLORED WOMEN IN A SCRAP.
A Monday Picnic at Montgomery
Winds Up in a Lively Manner.
There was a big colored picnic at Mont
gomery yesterday, and it wound up in tbe
afternoon with a grand scrap between ten
of the female picnickers.
Polly Lord and Laura Grant got into a
dispute aboutn colored ’’gemmen” and left
the dancing platform, with eight others, to
settle the matter in a field. Both are buxoui
women, but Polly proved the better fighter
of the two, and Laura knew It. The former
started to take off her basque to go to work
in Sullivan style, and, while she was dis
robing, Laura, who is a rather high kicker,
pushed her in the face with her right foot
and seDt her sprawling on her baox on the
grass, and then jumped on her and began
pounding her in a lively manner.
Folly managed to throw her opponent
over and was treating her to a dose of her
own medicine, when the friends of the
under party interfered and pulled Polly off.
Tho other side then stepped into the breach,
and a general gouging match resulted.
As soon as Laura got upon her feet she
pulled a small penknife from her pocket
and jammed it into Folly’s arm and back.
The wounded moman set up a yell, the
picnickers all rushed to tho soene, and ex
citement reigned supreme for a few min
utes.
The committee, headed by James Middle
ton, arrived with the crowd and placed the
amazons under arrest. A telephone mes
sage was sent to police headquarters to
have officers meet the 6 o’clock train to
take charge of the prisoners. Officers Clay
ton and Eivers were sent to the City and
Suburban depot and met the committee
with the ten women aud escorted them to
tbe barracks. They gave their names as
Susan McQueen, Lavinia Wilson, Lizzie
Berrien, Abbio VV est, Lizzie White, Marion
Maxwell, Lucy Pelette and Mary Sisco.
Together with Laura Grant and Polly Lord
they were looked up on a charge of riot.
Lizzie Berrien told the story of the row.
Bbe was very particular about stating that
herself and the balunoe of the party were
"ladies.” She said that the affair was
started by Laura Grant, who called "Miss”
Folly Lord and her “lady” friends White
Bluff toughs. She also wanted it under
stood that she was innocent of all connec
tion with the affair and fell very much dis
graced at being arrested.
Polly's wounds are uf a slight nature and
caused her but little inconvenience. The
ten “lailies” will appear before Mayor Mc-
Donough this morning and will doubtless
be turned over to the city court, as the row
occurred outside of the city limits.

explioit ns to the illegal praotioe of dentis
try in this state. It reads; “Any person
commencing the praotice of dentistry from

Oct. 9, 1885), shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor, unless said person shall have
obtained a license from a board of examin

There are no exceptions to the law, and the
society means to enforce it.

The New York Htrald says the first
mortgage bonds of the Alabama Midland
railroad, amouming to $2,800,000, have been
defaulted upon, and have been purchased by
President H. B. Plant, of the riant system.
The interest on the bonds, amounting to
£84,000, payable by the Metropolitan Trust
Company of New York, was due last Fri
day. When the representatives of the bond
holders presented their coupons at the trust
company’s office payment was refused, and
they were sent to Mr. Plant’s office for the
interest. The coupons, of course, were
cashable at their face value, but when
cashed by Mr. Plant wore not canceled, but
were held by him as a lien against the
property. The issue involved, which,
tho Herald says, is to come up in tue courts,
is whetner a first mortgage bond is really
at law a lien on the property that it is sup
nos ‘d to be. It is claimed that the proceed
ing is to effect a scaling down of the interest
on the bonds from C per cent, to 5 tier cant.
This is what the Columbia State says
about the South Bound; "The South
Bound railroad will be completed by the
middleof next September, and now is the
time for Columbians to stir themselves and
build a fine winter hotel for the northern
tourists to Florida. All the grading and
track-laying on the Georgia bide of the Sa
vannah river is finished, and within the
next ten days that portion of the road—
thirty-six miles —will be ready for traffic.
All the depots and stations will be com
pleted along this portion by May 15. The
big bridge over the Savannah river is to be
completed by Aug. 1 at the latest.
The construction force of expert
bridge builders are hard at work,
and the-structure is rapidly assuming its
handsome proportions. In South Carolina
be grading of the road for twenty six
miles is finished and is ready for tbs mails.
The track is now on seven miles of it, and
the remaining nineteen miles of the sec
tion will be laid by June 1. The balanoe of
the grnding in this state is in such an ad
vanced condition as to warrant the state
ment, that by July 1 ninety miles of the
line ?ill bo finished. The remaining fifty
miles will be in such a condition as to per
mit of steady laying from that time on.
All depots and station houses are being
erected as rapidly as the track Is laid, so
that there can be no possible delay in oper
ating the road. Now, when will Columbia
be ready with hotel accommodations for
those who may be inclined to stop over in
Carolina’s capital? And this question ii one
that should be answered. The road is
shorter than any other, and the trains will,
no doubt, bring the largest proportion of
northern visitors. Columbia capitalists
should consider the matter at onoe.”
The Age of Steel has this to say jof rail
road charities: Railroads, In a general
sense, are not supposed to be gilt-edged in
their morals and methods. Popular prej
udice declines to expect that anything g_>od
can come out of the railway Nazaroth. The
importance of railroads in the economy of
mrdern civilization cannot easily be over
rated, and the science of management is
one of the most critical and complicated of
any business in modern times. There are
1,718 of these railroad corporations in the
United States; they control 150,000 miles of
re ad, and have a pay-roll of 689,912 persons.
Of these 1,718 roads, about 600 practically
control the freight and passenger traffic of
the country; 149 of these furnish houses to
trackmen, watchmen and section hands- 19
maintain beneficiary institutions for their
employes; 15 cofitribute to outside institu
tions; 20 to branches of the Young Men's
Christian Association; 21 to hospitals; 1 has
a system of pensions for old and disabled
workmen; some have reading rooms and
some provide meals for their men on the
basis of cost. In the matter of temperance,
375 roads prohibit the use of intoxicating
drinks. These facts are scarcely consistent
with the general notion that a soulless Shy
lock presides in railroad management and
the devil is engaged on pay-rolls and
time tables. In the morale of the employes
there is an evident move up the ladder.
They are helping themselves by thift and
foresight on ajbrooder scale than is gener
ally imagined. The life insnrance depart
ment of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers has paid $2,500,000 to widows
and orphans, and ha* done some good
evangelizing work by insisting on temper
ance ,and expelling during last year 375 mem
bers for intoxkmtlon. The Order of Rail
way Conductors is as admirably and striotly
managed. Switchmen have their organi
zation, and in f*ct every brauo.i of railroad
service line ita 'benefit aeeociation. W hen
we consider the vastness of railway inter
est*, and their ooutiuual distribution, aud
their aim jet emlleas ramifications into every
aocewnble area of the hemisphere, the facte
we have stated are to their credit, and no
invalidated or oecond hand influence 1q the
nation's good, in eoonouitc*, morals and
bust ness.

GREAT ENTHUSIASM.
Savannah’s Greatest Success.
The whole town is centering ite interest
now on B. H. Levy & Bro.’s semi-weekly
bargain sales. Levy’s “Wednesdays” and
“Saturdays” are now household phrases, and
the entire community looks forward to
these sales with pleasant anticipations of
the bargains to be reaped. Past saies have
been tho biggest kind of ‘‘goes.’’ Two of
the specials have required repetition, nota
bly 75-cent silk four-in-hand scarfs fer 30
cents on Saturday last (May 2); and next
Wednesday, by universal request, we will
give the ladies a chance to exhaust our re
maining stock of blouse waists at half

Separated From Hia Wife.
It wae very sad. They were a very band
some couple, and it had
been a love match. Bnt it
happened this way. Appel & Schaul, the
popular one price clothiers, had made an
elegant display In their beautiful windows,
and this affectionate pair went there to see
and get. some of there good values, knowing
the honest one price plain figure plan of the
firm. But when they reached the store they
found a perfect jam, and in the crowd they
got separated, and did not meet again for
hoors. Butall s well that ends well. They
got bargains and got together again.—Ad.

Many letters are received by the P. P. P. Cos.
from patients, saying they had used such and
such a blood purifier and sarsaparilla*, mention
ing their names and stating they did no good,
and thsy did not get well until P. P. P. (Prickly
Ash, Poke Root and Potassium) was tried. These
letters we started to publish, when the various
manufacturers wrote us fearful letters, and we
discontinued same, but P. P. P. (Prickly Ash,
Foke Root and Potassi um) is triumphant on
every oooasion. and has made a host of friends
in cures of Syphilis, Rheumatism, Scrofula,
Blood Poison, Dyspepsia, Malaria and Female

It is Time to Think
Of summer coolers. B. H. Levy & Bro.
have the largest lines of negligee 9hirts ever
opened in Savannah in silks and all outing
fabrics. See those lovely white and colored
puff bosom shirts. Very stylish, and as
cool as cucumbers.— Ad.
Was Merchants’ Week a Success?
Well, it was with one bouse, anyhow.
Besides an unusually large local patronage,
B. H. Levy & Bro. supplied the bulk of our
visitors with stylish spring suits, hats and
furnishings, and’saved them enough money
on their investments to materially lessen
the expenses of their visit. Notwithstand
ing the extra drain on their resources, this
great clothing house can st.ll supply every
caller with just what he wants in fine
stylish clothing at prices unattainable by
competition.—Ad.
