THE FUTURE IN DOUBT.
CENTRAL EMPLOYES WONDERING
WHAT IT WILL BRING FORTH.
A Deep Anxiety to Know Whet
Changes Are to Come —Gen. Alex*
ander’s Position in the Deal—Mr.
Inman Net Anxious for the Presi
dency—Business Men Confident of
Great Results to Follow the New
Order of Things—What Pat Calhoun
Say 8.
No further ebauges of Central railroad
officials were annouuoed yesterday, and no
new rumors were started oa the rounds.
Asa consequence discussion of the deal was
not quite so lively and the interest was not
so eager.
The consternation among the employes
•bated to some extent, and work proceeded
about as usual in the Central offices. The
employes have about come to the conclusion
that as long as the Central’s offices remain
at Savannah it will take just as many men
to transact the business as it uOee now, ami
they feel that they are safe, temporarily at
least. They do not believe that the now
management will reduce their pay, either.
Although the employes of the Central
offices are fairly well paid, they are no bet
ter paid than the same class of employes in
other railroad offices and business
houses. There are few salaries
below chief clerks that run over 1100 a
month, and not many that pay that. The
large majority of the employes get con
siderably less. Many of the chief clerks
and minor officials still tremble in anticipa
tion of the ax, however.
GEN. ALEXANDER'S POSITION.
There is some misconoeption as to Gen.
Alexander's position in tbe new deal.
As the Central Railroad and Banking Com
pany has leased the Central railroad to the
Georgia Pacifio the president of the oom
panv no loDger has any control of the rail
road, but as tbe company retains control of
the bank his authority still remains over
that. A president and board of directors
is necessary to the organisation of the com
pany, but so far as authority is concerned
Gen. Alexander is only president
of the bank. Mr. T. M. Cun
ningham’s position is similar to that of
Gen. Alexander. Mr. Cunningham is still
treasurer of the Central Railroad and Bank
ing Company and also remains for the pres
ent treasurer of tbe Ocean Steamship Com
pany, making his reports to tbe treasurer of
the Richmond and Danville railroad.
There is a belief that Gen. Alexander
has no reason to be dissatisfied with the new
deal, and that be has been or will be well
provided for.
INXAN WOT ANXIOUA
An Atlanta dispatch to the Morning
{sews says concerning Hugh Inman, pres
ident of the Central:
* ‘Hugh T. Inman of this city, whose name
has been prominently mentioned in connec
tion with the presidency of the Central
railroad system, said to-day that he did not
care for tbe office at this season of tbe year,
as he would be obliged to spend the summer
in Savannah, which he regarded as too hot.
In the fall he may consider tbe question if
called on, but the presidency of the Central
now amounted to little more than being
president of a bank. The honor does not
tempt him, and ns for the salary, he can
make more by sitting quietly in bis Atlanta
office.”
A BOOM IN SAVANNAH.
The business men of Savannah generally
do not anticipate any but good results from
tbe change or management.
Some who are noted for business sagacity
agree with Gep. Alexander's expressed
belief that it is the be6t thing that could
have happened for Savannah. A well
known basinets man said yesterday to a
Morning Ngws/eporter:
"I believe that the deal U a great thing
for Savannah. Some of our bat citizens,
officials of the road, have lost by it, wbioh,
of course, is to be regretted, but tbe efforts
of the deal will result greatly to the good of
tbe city generally. The most enoouraging
feature is that the thing is not being done
for any love of Savannah. They are doing
it for their own interest entirely, and
they are ooming here, not because
they love Savannah,,but because it is to
their interest to come. The deal is made
on business principles entirely. They
recognize that Savannah has the
requisite advantages for a terminus,
and they propose to make just such
a terminus of It because it has those ad
vantage*. It is cold, selfish business, and
not love nor sentiment, and for that reason
I say we have nothing to fear. The Central’s
lessees will help Savannah because it is to
their interest to do so. The deal is not made
for the benefit of Atlanta or Savannah or
any other city, but because It is to the in
terest of a big railroad system to turn its
traffic this way. The benefioial results of
this change for Savannah are incalculable.”
PAT CALHOUN BAYS IT.
Pat Calhoun, Esq., in an interview in
Atlanta, said concerning the effect the
lease will have:
"Atlanta and Savannah roust reap great
advactges from it. A daily line of steam
ers from Savannah to New York will be
onet of its flnet results,and Atlanta must be
come more and more tbe center of the
Terminal system, and a distributing point
for the growing oommerce of the south
east. As you widen the market you
must increase the commerce of this
section of the country, After all, trans
portion lies at the very base of all com
merce, and Atlanta stands in a position to
reap as great, if not greater, advantages
from the in or eased commerce of the south
east than any other city. In short, this
lease is but a step to the accomplishment of
the end so muoh to be desired —the opening
up of the markets of the great agricultural
regions of the west and southwest to the
manufactured products of the southeast,
and the development of the South Atlantic
seaboard.”
NO change in offices.
Gen. Alexander said tbat all talk of the
control of the road going away from Sa
vannah is senseless. The road has been
owned and controlled in New York for
years, and Is still owned and controlled
there. There was the same talk of the con
trol of the Central going away from Sa
vannah when Gen. Alexander was elected
president, and will amount to just about as
much now, he said, as it did then.
There is a belief prevalent in Savannah
that the general offioes of the road have
only been abolished temporarily, and that
some time within the next six months they
will be restored aud new appointments
made, for which purpose tbe offices were
temporarily abolished. The visit of General
Manager Green and Traffic Manager Haas
is awaited with interest.
The Citizens’ Bank’s Directors.

Citizens’ Bank yesterday the following

THE MARKET OFFICER'S LOT.
It la Not All tha Time a Very Happy
One.
Market Policeman O’Reilly had a lively
tussle In the market basement with Jake
Small (colored) yesterday afternoon. Small
was airing himself in tbe market, and as
the officer thought that he was creating a
disturbance he ordered him to move on.
Small said be was buying a 10-caut dinner
and had a right to stay where he was till
he got it. The officer undertook to move
him, wbon Small, who is a fighting charac
ter and bears the scars of numerous previ
ous battles, went for the officer.
In the struggle he got the policeman’s
club and struck him several blows in the
face. If it had not been for outsiders who
came to the policeman's assistance
he might have been seriously hurt.
Small abused tbe officer vigorously. Having
gotten bis prisoner under control O’Reilly
started with him for the barracks. On the
way Small again became unruly, and the
officer, who was not In the best of temper
from his encounter in tbe market, ham
mered him over the head with his club
until the blood flowed freely. The prisoner
was not a pleasant sight to look at after
that. He ttat safely lodged in the barracks.
THE TRUCK SHIPMENTS.
What the Railroads Have Carried In
Former Years.
The big vegetable shipments that have
been going north this season make a com
parison of former years interesting.
Gen. Freight Ageut E. P. McSwiney of
the Charleston and Savannah railroad says
that railroad shipped from Chatham county
during the season 1890, 2,681 barrels and 13,.
563 crates of truck and vegetables, as against
548 barrels and 5,563 crates during the
season of 1889, an increase of nearly 300 per
cent, in tbe season of 1890 over the season
of 1889. These shipments were all to the
north. The season of 1891 has not yet
closed.
The Central railroad shipped west during
May and June of 1890 4.155 barrels of pota
toes and 3,290 crates of truck, weighing
altogether 867,991 pounds, of wh'oh
almost the whole went to Cincinnati.
From May 13 to May 21, 1890, inclusive,
the Central shipped west from Chatham
county 2,438 barrels of potatoes and 465
crates of vegetables, with a total weight of
469,686 pounds, of which about three
fourths was shipped to Savannah. This
was a large Increase for the time named.
IN MEMORY OF THEIR DEAD.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10,1891.
T3E FESTIVAL OF WEEKS.
To Begin To-morrow at Sunaet—Tbe
Festival’s History.
Tbe Hebrew festival of weeks will begin
to-morrow at sunset. The festival of weeks
is so called because it occurs on the fiftieth
day from tbe Passover.
The statute fixing the observance of this
sacred day is to be found in Deuteronomy,
xvi, 9:12. It was instituted in order to
establish those grand moral lessons on which
nut only the Jewish religious system, but
those of all other creeds who acknowledge
the authenticity and divine origin of too
Mosaic dispensation are founded. More than
thirty-three centuries have passed when on
that eventual day (tbe sixth day of the He
brew month Slvan) a vast number
of men, women and children assembled
around tbe sacred mount and amid
the elemental strife which shook Sinai
from apex to base heard the voice
of God exclaim: “1 am the Lord, thy God;
thou shalt have no other gods before me.”
The descendants of that people have (in
almost every age and in every country)
undergone Innumerable vicissitudes and
countless changes of fortune, but in pros
perity and adversity, honored or scorned,
persecuted and vilified, they have with
pious and sincere devotion remained true to
their vocation as ministers and teachers of
the moral principles of the Decalogue, and
the custodians of the sacred books of the
Old Testament, keeping them intact by
enumerating the chapters, verses, words
and letters of which each book Is composed.
Asa literary curiosity, which may prove
interesting, some of the labors "of this
enumeration by the Masorites are given:
The Pentateuch contains 304,805 letters.
The Bible, 815.330 letters.
The Book of Genesis 50 chapters, 1,534
Verses, 78,154 letters.
The Book of Exodus 40 chapters, 1,309
verses, 63,539 letters.
The Book of Leviticus 27 ohapters, 859
verses, 44,790 letters.
The Book of Numbers 36 ohapters, 1,388
verses, 63,530 letters.
The Book of Deuteronomy 31 ohapters,
955 verses, 54,803 letters.
Total number of letters 304,805.
The synagogue service of this festival is
solemn and impressive, embracing the nar
ration of the Exodus and the promulgation
of the law, with selections from the prophets
referring to these memorable epoohs in Jew
ish history. The day is observed as a day of
rejoiolng and thanksgiving, for the reason
that their ancestry were tho recipients and
custodians of the law, and to honor the im
portant events the synagogue is adorned
with flowers and evergreens.

CITY BREVITIES.
Tbe steamer Alpha was hauled out yes
terday on Jones’ marine railway for re
pairs.
It will be remembered that the first car
load of Georgia watermelons of this season
was shipped from Meigs, Ga., June 5. It
arrived in Kansas City at 7:30 o’clock
yesterday morning, which is considered to
be remarkably fast time.
Tbe next meeting of tbe alumni of the
University of Georgia will be held at the
university Tuesday, June 17, at which time
the report of the committee of nine, Hon.
Howard VanEpps, chairman, will be sub
mitted, and other business of interest and
importance will be brought before tbe so
ciety. The annual address will be delivered
by Hon. N. J. Hammond.
The “merry-go-round” flying horse, on
Indian street, was the scene of an encounter
yesterday between H. P. Clements, an em
ploye, and J. A. Shullnutt, a brother of the
proprietor of the conoern. Shullnutt drew
a pistol on Clemeuts and was takon iu
charge by a policeman. Magistrate Elsin
ger, before whom he was taken, released
him on his furnishiug bond for his appear
ance next Thurgday.
When Jacob Tuck opened the sewer at
the corner of Tatnall and Huntingdon
streets yesterday morning he saw the body
of an infant lying in the oesspool. The
tody, which was wrapped in cloth, had
evidently been in the sewer several days, as
it was in an advanced state of decomposi
tion. Coroner Dixon says that it was im
possible to decide positively whether the
child was white or colored, but he inolines
to the belief that it was colored.
A fairly large consignment of peaches
was received yeste day. Most of them
came from Gordon and Mclntyre, on tbe
Central railroad, only a few packages com
ing from Florida. The fruit receive 1 is
very flue and commands a good price, 40 to
60 cents per package being yesterday’s quo
tations. Tbe fruit dealers say tnat the
Florida crop is now pretty well exhausted,
and that, though the early crop in Georgia
has been fairly good, the late crop will be
almost a oomplete failure.
The Savannah Street and Rural Resort
railroad is distributing priuted schedules
giving the time of cars on the Belt Line and
the Barnard street line, which can be had
by those desiring them on application to
any of the conductors. The Belt Line cars
are now running around to the Tybee de
pot. Ten cars are ruining a 10-minute
schedule on the Belt. It has become quite a
popular evening amusement to take a ride
around the belt after business hours. Six
miles for a nickel is cheap riding and fur
nishes a very pleasant recreation in the 000 l
of the evening.

press upon officers and men (hat so long as
they remain in camp they will be in the pay of
the state, and under her watchful eye. The
assembly Is to be for a camp of instruction,
aud not for a holiday excursion. The prospects
of the volunteer forces of Georgia will depend
largely upon their conduct during the present
encampment, upon tbe spirit of subordination
and obedience ihey display, and their capacity
for the reoeption of military instruction. Toe
colonel, therefore, confidently invokes from
every officer and man the voluntary and wady
exhibit ion of those attrloutes and graces of the
true soldier which will go further toward the
accomplishment of the high purpose of all than
the most coercive military constraint.

the guards getting ready.
The Savannah Volunteer Guards have re
ceived their full camp outfit, consisting
of overcoats, blankets, leggins,
blue flannel shirts and gray jeans
pants, all entirely new. The outfits will be
distributed to the members this week. A
drill of tbe battalion in tbe camp uniform
has been ordered for Friday night, when
the members will be lustructod in guard
mounting and other duties which they .will
have to perform In camp, The Guards'ex
pect to oarry up with their three companies
something over the quota of twenty-nine
men eaoh, necessary for every company en
tering camp. All the men are anxious
to go and if they could
obtain leave of absence the battalion would
carry over 150 men. It would make a show
in the oamp.
the governor’s order.
The order of the governor changing the
time of departure of the Savannah troops
also provides that the offloer in command
of the camp may grant permission
to those men whose business requires
them to return before Monday to
leave the camp in time to reach home that
day. This will enable a great many to go
into camp whose business would not permit
their losing two Mondays in succession.
This has been a great objection with many
employers to allowing their men to go An

ABSOLUTELY PURE
campment begin in the middle of the week
on this account and for other reasons.
There is complaint on the part of some of
the officers that many employers do not
teem to regard it deeirabla that their em
ploye* should go into camp with their com
panies. The question of military duty and
discipline, and the benefits to tbe com
munity, direct and indirect, seem to have
no weight with them. This it especially
true of a large number of business concerns.
Many of the men are averse to asking for
leave, knowing how the encampment is
looked upon by their firms. Judge
Falligant has set an example by au
thorizing Clerk Carr to grant leaves of ab
sence to all members of military companies
drawn upon the jary list who wish to at
tend the encampment.

The Dublin New Kra says: “The dispute
between the Maoon and Dublin railroad

The Michigan House judiciary committee
has reported a substitute for the Dieketna
Cook anti-railroad pass bill, whiohiexempte
from ita operations the official agent, at
torneys, servants or employes of railroad
companies. BJ- the original bill the man
ager of a railroad would be required to pay
fare for riding over bis own line. The sub
stitute includes all state, legislative and
judioial officials, either elective or appoint
ive, and makes it a felony for them to accept
free transportation.
The headquarters of the Chattanooga di
vision of the Central railroad have been
changed from Rome to Cedartown, and Col.
J. D. Williamson, general manager, will
rempve his office there shortly, with his en
tire force of assistants and clerks. The
change is regarded as a big thing for
Cedartown. Trains will be run from Cedar
town both ways in the morning, returning
at night. Cedartown is one of tho most
flourishing aud rapidly-growing towns of
North Georgia, and this change will In
crease its growth and importance. It Is tie
largest town on the Chattanooga division,
with the exception of Rome, and is situated
very near the center of the new division.
Gov. Fifer of Illinois has signed the bill

fives Illinois companies the right to
old stock, not generally, but only
of roads with which they connect iu
other states. The general law forbids com
panies organized under Illinois laws to buy
their own stock. This provision is retained,
but an exception is made in the case of con
necting lines outside the state, with the
added proviso that at least two-thirds of
the stook must bo owned by the company
and tbat Illinois stockholders shall tie
treated alike in the purchase of the stock.
A railway postofilce service has been es
tablished on the Florida Southern railway
between Bartow and Punta Gorda, Fla., 75
miles. Service on this line was formerly
performed by the Palatka and Punta Gorda
railway postofflee, which has been changed
to end at Brooksville, Fla., the line to be
known os the Bartow and Punta Gorda rail
way postofilce. The same service has been
established on the line of the South Florida
railroad between Pemberton and Bartow,
Fla., 57 miles. Servioe on these lines was
formerly performed by the Palatka aud
Punta Gorda railway pnstoffiea, the lino to
be k iowo as the Pemberiou and Bartow.
The Palatka and Punta Gorda railway post
office servioe has been changed so as to end
at Brooksville, decrease in distance 121
miles, making tbe whole distance 145 miles.
Service between Pemberton and Bartow
will be performed by the Pemberton and
Bartow railway postoffice, and between
Bartow and Punta Gorda by the Bartow aud
Punta Gorda railway postofflee, the line to
bo known as the Palatka and Brooksville
railway postofflee.
The establishment and growth of secret
organizations in various departments of the
railway service within tbe last few years
constitute what the Railway Age regards
as one of the most notable and portentous
signs of the time*. It is not very long ago
that the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi
ne rs was the only secret organization among
railway employes which distinctively rec
ognized the principle of tbe strike in ad
justing its relations with the employing
companies. Now the following secret organ
izations have adopted this principle and
with the exception of the eugjneers have
allied themselves iuto a "federation” for
the purpose of more effective influence
with their employers: Brotherhood of Lo
oomotive Engineers, Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen, Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen, Brotherhood of Railway Con
ductors, Switchman’s Mut'd Aid Associa
tion, Order of Railway Conductors. The
Order of Railway Conductors, until within
a few weeks past, w as openly and vigorously
opposed to the principle of strikes, and this
position led to the formation,
by members who took the op
posite view, of the Brotherhood of Railway
Conductors, which allied itself at once with
other striking organizations and waged such
hostilities upon the conduotors who re
mained in the old organization and sup
ported its peaceful principles that the great
majority of the latter, including the head of
the organization. Mr. Daniels, previously a
vigorous opponent of strikes, have turned
squarely around on their former position
ana declared for the "protective” policy.
The vote at the reoent convention stood 293
to 7in favor of federation. Similarly, the
head of the Order of Railway Telegraphers,
who officially and in the organ of
tbe body of which he is tbe
editor long opposed the principle
of strikes, has recently avowed a chango
of sentiment and is now arrayed for “pro
tection.” At the convention of this body,
which will be held in St. Louis June 15. it
is probable "protection" and "federation"
will be adopted. There are several other
employes’ organizations in which the same
course is being agitated, and in some of
them strongly favored. These organiza
tions, including the one just named, are:
Order of Railway Telegraphers, Railway
Agents’ Association (station agents). Inter
national Association of Ticket Agents,
Train Dispatchers’ Association of America,
International Association of Car Account
ants, National Association of Railway
Yardmasters, American Association of
Railway Clerks, Brotherhood of Railway
Trackmen.
