THE TALK OF CENTRAL.
ALL SORTS OF RHKOBS FLOATING
ABOUT TOWN.
One of Them That the Calhouns Will
Apply for a Receiver for the Road.
What an Insider Says About the
Election of the New Board and the
Plans cf the Terminal Feople—Gen.
Alexander's Position—The Rumors of
Changes Among the Central’s Of
ficials Not Substantiated.
Central railroad talk still occupied tbe
attention of the public yesterday though in
a less degree than the previous day.
There was nothing new, but the old
rumors were re rived.
Tbe feeling seemed to be that there will
be nothing more of an alarming nature
with regard to the Central immediately,
and that tbe stock and security holders
may rest easy for awhile, until the time to
pay the next dividend, perhaps.
The general optnion is that the tight with
tbe Calhouns has by no means reached a
finish, and that some very interesting things
will be said within the next few weeks.
Tbe security holders may not get their
dues as a result of the disagreement, but
they will at least learn the truth about
some things.
EFFECT OF ME ELECTION.
The e’.ection of the new directors was a
kind of set*back to those who were fighting
tho Terminal management and prophesying
evil. They still Insist, however, that It is
the intention of the Terminal company
to manipulate the Terminal board.
“That elecfon is merely a blind." said a
gentleman, who has been a close watcher of
the recent railroad movements, and whose
opinion is worth something. **H is the
easiest matter in the world for tbe Terminal
people to secure complete control of ihs
Central board. They know who they
ean rely upon in tho board,
and it will be an easy thing if they have
not a majority ir. their favor to secure the
resignations, one at a time, of those whom
they oannot control. Some of the directors
are not large stockholders, and if it Is inti
mated to them that tceir resignations are
wanted they will feel it necessary to hand
them in. The Terminal company only
wants seven of the thirteen directors of its
own way of thinking. The other six may
be all right, but their votes will offeot noth
ing against the seven. With this majority
they can Becure possession of the securities
( and do whate <er else they please. Mark
iny words.
WHAT MAY BE DONE.
"It is the intention of the Brico-Tbomas
crowd to wreck the Central railroad, nor,
physically, but financially. The road will
be operated just the same us ever ami its
benefits to the city wlllbe pretty much the
same, but tbe stockholders will bo tho
losers.”
•‘Will Pat Calhoun attempt to break the
lease*" was asked of a gentleman who
knows Mr. Calhoun well.
“Well, it is not improbable," he replied.
“Still, 1 hardly think be will attempt to
break the lease which he was so instru
mental In securing. There is no telling
what is ahead though.”
DON’T WANT TO SAT MUCH.
Gen. Alexander said yesterday that he
expects there would be a good deal more
talking between the Calhoun* and the
Terminal peopde. “1 am anxious to say as
little as possible in tho meotlDg,” he Baid.
“It is only when the Central’s interests are
affected that I care to sneak.”
Gen. Alexander did not express himself
upon John C. Calhoun’s statements to tho
New York Times published in yesterday’s
IkLiKNiNo News.
The public opinion is that it is a cat and
dog fight and that the Calhouns will make
it Interesting for the Terminal people to
the best of their ability.
The rumors with regard to official*
changes ar- that General Manager Green
will be made a vice president, that bis as
sistant, J. 8. B. Thompson, will be made
general manager of the Ilichmoud and Dan
ville, and that Supt. V. E. Mcßee will he
made general manager of the Central and
Georgia Pacific railroads and others.
LITTLE CREDENCE IN THEM.
“It is all rot.” said a railroad man. ‘ ‘No
body knows that any of these changes are
going to be made. It is mere guess work.
It is very likely that there will be some
moving around of officers, but there will
hardly be anv important changes made.
There is no telling, though. I wouldn’t be
surprised at an order to go to
New York or Ban Francisoo
or Duluth. The man that follows railroad
ing chose dcyß must go with the procession.
His days are many and full of travel. He
gets uo in Atlanta and sleeps in Cincinnati,
and bohold, tbe next day he is in Chicago.
Such a thing aa settling down and becoming
a fixture is out of question with a railroad
man.”
Rumor that application would be made
for a receiver for the Central, elthor in
Bavaunah or Atlanta, were heard last
night, but were not suhstaut’ated.
THE PAINT SHOPB CLOSED.
A General Shut down by the Rich
mond and Danville People.
The Central railroad paint shops were
closed down yesterday. Only a lew men
were kept at work after the general dis
charge of men from the shops before Christ
mas. but now the shops have been closed en
tirely. Supt. Dill said that all the paint
shops of the system were shut down before
Christmas except at Savannah, and the
shops here were kept open to finish up some
work on hand.
MOBILE'S WATER SUPPLY.
Savannah’s Artonian Well System
Furnishes a Model.
The success of the artesian well sunk by
the Central Ice Company at Mobile for the
Mobile brewery and in which Capt. Whl e
sides and Mr. L. P. Hart of the Gorrie Ice
Company of this city are largly [interested,
has demonstrated the practicability of the
artosian well system as a water supply in
Mobile. The striking of the water in the
well and the remarkable How, first of 300
and then 600 gallons per minute, was an*
pounced in the Morning News Monday.
The first flow was equivalent to
about 500,000 gallons a day.
The water came out with a pressure suffi
cient to foroe it to a higbt of 40 or 50 feet.
The well is 800 feet deep and is of 8-inch
diameter at the top and 6-inch at the bot
tom.
Capt. Whitesides has made a study of ar
tesian wells and has given much attention
to the systems in this city and in New Or
leans. Tb well just sunk in Mobile will be
followed by a second for the Mobile Ice
Company and probably by others.
Funeral of Mrs. Hennemeier.
The funeral of the late Mrs. Frederick
Hennemeier took place from the residence
of Mrs. Margaret Fleming, at Second and
Drayton streets, at 3:30 o’olock yesterday
afternoon. The services at the Sacred
Heart church were impressive In the ex
treme. Mrs. Hennemeier in her youthful
days was a Misa Floming. She leaves three
children to mourn her los3. The remarks
at the Sacred Heart church were char
acteristic of the resignation to his will, in
the fact of the suffering the deceased under
went in behalf of a loving family, her God
and the many friends she had won by her
noble, womanlike traits. The pall-bearers
were: Sergt. Gwen Reilly, M. J. and J.,H,
Heagarty. Edward Neill and James H. Mc-
Nally. The floral tributes were numerous,
among them was one from the Sodality of St.
Aloysia Gonzaga, “In loving memory of a
friend,” and from the Fleming Dramatic
Association, "Our friend, F. D. A.”

Tbe weather set in ugly last night. The
maximum temperature yesterday was 64°,
and the minimum 47°, the mean tempera
ture being 7“ above the normal. Frequent,
light showers fell during the day, but tbe
total rainfall for tbe twelve hours ending 8
o'clook last night was unappreciable, after
that It varied until midnight.
The following telegram was received at
the signal station in the afternoon from
Chief Harrington of the weather bureau:
Hoist southwest signals at 4:15 p. m . storm
moving east, and developing In East Gulf and

TRYING TO SAVE M’OOY.
Little Cbance, However, for the Lib
erty Ccunty Murderer.
k A strong effort is being made to secure a
commutation of the death sentence of Will
McCoy (oolored), who is to bang at Hmes
villo Friday, to imprisonment for life.
Lawyer Ben Way of Liberty county, who
defended MoCoy, is in Atlanta with a peti
tlon to the governor asking that his sen
tence t e oommuted. Gov. Nortben tele
graphed W. W. Osborne, Esq., of this city,
B'esterdav, who, as acting solicitor general,
Srosecuted McCoy, concerning the matter.
Ir. Osborne replied at once, and wrote the
governor last night a full statement of the
facts of the trial and MoCoy’s eonviotion.
Both Judge Falligant and Mr. Osborne
refused to sign the petition for com
mutation, and it iB, in faot, signed
by none of the court or
county officials of Liberty couuty, so that
McCoy’s chances are not very good for any
interference by the governor with the ex
ecution of the sentence.
McCoy was oonvlcted at the November
term of oourt and was sentenced to hang
Dec. 18. The governor granted a reprieve
until Jan. 8, and now tbe condemned mans
attorney is using every effort ia his behalf
to secure further clemency. The has aof
the appeal to the governor is that McCoy’s
attorney did not have ample time in which
to prepare his defense before the case went
to trial and that it has been discovered that
oil the faota were not brought out.
The prosecuting attorney does not regard
the case one for the exercise of executive
clemehey. Tho killing was cold-blooded
and the conviction of McCoy was speedy
and without difficulty.

TOURISTS BEGINNING TO MOVE.
The After-Eollday Travel Opening In
Earnest.
Tourist travel is opening up since Christ
mas. A steady travel south has already set
in whioh gives promise of exceeding any
thing known heretofore.
The new fast special No. 15, on the At
lantic Coast Line from New York to
Florida, arrives in Savannah every day at
1:55 o’clock. It brought down over 100
passengers on its tlrst trip, and is being
heavily patronized.
The “bon ton” travel has just set in and
the Florida hotels are beginning to be alive.
A great many people are going to Florida.
Very few are stopping over at Savannah
yet, the usual habit of the tourists being to
stop here on their return northward. That
is why Savannah’s season continues so late
in the spring.
The Do Soto and the other hotels have
great anticipations of this season's travel.
Every traveler that visited here during the
last and previous seasons declared hie inten
tion of coming again and making a longer
visit, and the prospects are that there will
be a heavier travel than ever before.

TO FINISH TO THE PARK.
j AN ORDINANCE TO BE INTRODUCED
IN THE COUNCIL TO-NIGHT.
j Alderman Bailey Pushing the Move
ment for a Continuation of the Bull
Etreet Pavement —Hts Answer to
Alderman Harmon’s Objections to
Pushing Bull Street Until East and
West Broad Street# Have Been
Paved—The Resolution Condemna
tory of tbe Richmond and Danville
to Come Up.
Alderman Belley will endeavor to force
tbe city council to settle tbe Bull street
paving question to-night by tbe introduc
tion of a resolution to continue the improve
ment to tbe park. He expects to be opposed
by Alderman Harmon with a claim that
tbe paving of East and West Broad streets
are more necessary than that of Bull street,
and that tbe appropriation will not be
sufficient to pave these thoroughfares
together with Bull street, but he hat pre
pared a statistical answer for tbe obairman
of the street and lane committee.
Alderman Bailey expects to prove that the
appropriation of $40,000 for street paving
is not sufficient to pave East and West
Broad streets, but is ample to finish Bull
and East Broad street*. West Broad street
alone, thealderman intimates, would eat up
uearly tho entire appropriation for this
year, and In view of suoh a state of affairs
the wiser policy is to finish the two streets
already partly paved, and let West Broad
street wait uuiil next year.
The discu*sion of the question will no
doubt be quite spicy, as other aldermen
besides the chairman of the street and lane
department will fight the Bull street im
provement.
Alderman Bailey will also probably ask the
eounoil to pass a resolution condemnatory
of the Richmond and Danville action and
inviting President Hawkins of the Savan
nah, Americus and Montgomery road to
visit Savannah and confer with a meeting
of citizens to be called under the auspices
of the oouucil to discuss the best means to
be adopted to bring the Bam road to the
city. The resolution will probably pass.
It is said that Col. Hawkins is fully aware
of Alderman Bailey's intentions and is only
waiting for tbe extending of the invi
tation to visit Savannah. Presi
dent Hawkins will guarantee, it
is understood, to have the Sam here In five
months if he can get the proper encourage
ment fr m the people and terminals at a
reosoDuble figure. He doesn’t expect to
havo terminals donated to bis road, but
doesn’t care to pay any exorbitant price for
these facilities.
Tbe election for a third city physician

district, which is twice as large as the east

will be SI,OOO per year.
BRADBTREBTB’ YEAR'S WORK.
Its 6howlng of Failures During the
Twelve Months of 1801.
Supt, W. H. Logan, of the Bradstreet
agenoy, oalled the attention of the Morn
ing Nxwf yesterday to an article in Brad*
streets on the mercantile failures for 1891,
which gives a full summary of the failures,
with liabilities and asset*, for the United
States and Canada.
According to Bradstreets the total num
ber of failures in the United States in 1891
was 12,394, against 10,873 in 1890, an in
crease of 16 9-10 per cent. The total liabil
ities exoeeded $19:1,000,000, agalcst $175,-
000,000 tor 1890,
Ttie actual assets amounted to $103,000,000
in 1891, ngttlust $92,000,000 iu 1890. The
percentage of assets to liabilities in 1891 was
53 2-10, a higher percentage than ha* been
reached since 1834, which was the highest
poroentago for many years—namely, 54 per
cent.
Out of 14 southern states !2 showed large
inorease iu failures, aud the percentage of
increase is larger in Georgia than in auy
other southern state. There were reprrted
in 1890 151 failures and in 1891 292 failures
in Georgia, with actual asset.* of $1,488,000
in 1890 and $2,778,000 in 1891, and with
liabilities iu 1890 of $3,749,000 and in 1891
$5,316,000.
The largest failure in Georgia was that of
Steve Ryan iu Atlanta In the dry goods
liue, where the liabilities exceeded
$1,000,000. Tbe next largest comes
to the credit of Savannah,
in the brokerage business,
that of Maj. A. L. Hartridge, with esti
mated liabilities at $950,000. The third
largest failure in tho state was tho Central
City Bunk of Macon, where tbe liabilities
were $300,000.
The state showing tho largest Increase in
point of liabilities is Massachusetts, where
the liabilities iu 1891 exceeded those of 1890
by $6,184,000. Missouri follows close to
Massachusetts, with $4,700,000, Texas
$3,900,000, Kentucky $3,800,000, Georgia
$2,600,000 and Alabama $2,400,000.
The total number of failures in 14 south
ern states in 1891 was 2,412, against 1,655 in
1890, with an inorease in liabilities of $12,-
000,000.
In 1890 there were 33 failures
of banks in tho United States,
with liabilities of $19,000,000, and in
189 L there were 53 tank failures re
ported, with an approximate total of
$35,000,000.
The largest decrease in liabilities of last
year, as compared with the year before, is
in New York, the decrease amounting to
$10,000,000.
Every section of the oountry shows au
increase in the number of failures over tho
preceding year, and Canada does the same.
Tbs total liabilities of failing traders in
the United States,according to Bradsti eet’s,
were $193,000,100, an increase of $18,000,000
over the year previous.

Charles’ Body Recovered.
The body of John Charles, the sailor
knocked overboard from the staging of the
British bark Privateer, Dec. 23, was found
floating in the river yesterday afternoon
opposite Fort Jackson range light. The
body was in a good state of preservation
and was brought up to tho city by the light

and a verdict of accidental death was ren
dered. Charles will be burled to-day.
The Result of Merit.
Whon anything stand* a test of fifty years
amrmg a discriminating people like the
Americans, it is pretty good evidence that
there is merit somewhere. The value of a
medicine i best proved by Its continued use
from year to year by tho same persons
and families, as well as by a steady increas
ing sale. Few, if any, medicines have met
with such oontiuued success and popularity
as has marked the introduction ami pro
gress of Brandreth’s Pills, which, after
a trial of over fifty years, are conceded to
be the safest and most effective purgative
and blood punfler introduced to the public.
That this is the result of merit, and that
Branphetu’s Pills aotually perform all
that is claimed for them, is conclusively
proved by the f act that those who regard
them with the greatest favor are those who
have used them the longest.
Brandrsth’s Pills are sold in every
drug and medicine store, either plain or
sugar coated. — Ad.

AT THE THEATER
Corinne Delights Two Audiences In
“Carmen Up to Date."
Corinne and her excellent oompany
played to a big matinee audience yesterday
in “Carmen Up to Date.” The perform
ance last night was equally ns enjoyable,
but the audience was not so large. Tbe
company and the play are the best in the
iin6 of burlesque opera that have been In
Savannah in years.
Tho Glee Club Concert,
Tbe Princeton University Glee Club,
representing the musical and social tide of
IVinceton will be at the theater to-night
under the auspices of tbe Georgia Hussars.
The concert will be a notable one in many
ways. Princeton this year sends to tbo
south tbe finest clubs that have ever left old
Nassau hall. Besides s larger and better
drilled club tbau in previous years, there
will be some of the most artistio as well
as amusing solo renditions. The work of
Mr. Farrington and Mr. Inslee are worthy
of the best men in tbe country in their re
spective lines. Indeed tbe latter is looked
upon by those who have heard him as a
second and coming Whitney.
The glee club's visit will take a social
form. In Augusta the members was enter
tained at two or three receptions. They were
were taken over the city and whenever a
party of girls wearing the orange and black
seen tbe Prmcetonians would give
their yell—“ Bias! Boom! Ah! Princeton!”
making the by slanders imagine that
electricity of the motor hal occasioned a
spontaneous combustion. Altogether they
were royally treated, and were found In
every way a charming set of men. They
will hardly have a less welcome iu Savan
nah. The Hussars have been making aa
industrious effort to have a successful con
cert and they have every assurance of hav
ing done so.
Rhea's Engagement.
The sale of seats of Mile Rhea's engage
ment In “The Czarina” and “Catherine
Howard" will open this morning. Rhea
has never been seen hero in either play and
considerable interest centers in her engage
ment from this fact. Of
“Catherine Howard,” Mr. Burbank
of New Orleans says: "The play
is pure tragedy almost from first to last,
there being only two light or comedy scenes
lu it, and they are in uo way necessary to
the development of the story. ‘Catherine
Howard’ affords Rhea fine opportunities to
display her abilities in tragi dy, and it is
not too much to say that she appeared the
same consummate mistress of her art that
she has in tho lighter and more lovabio
character of ‘Czarina.’ Though Rhea is par
ticularly happy lu refined comely and in
strongly emotional roles, requiring exquis
ite deftness and tact, it is a great
mistake to suppose that she is not
equal to the strain of the most
tragto scenes. iThough ’Catherine Howard’
has nothing but her rare beauty aud
subtlety to recommend, her she wnq never
theless, a heroine las: night. ‘Catherine
Howard’ is quite as brutal and ferocious in
the aocompllshmeut of her ambitious de
signs as Lady Macbeth, and thou there is a
vile side to her character, with which-
Shakespeare's character was not tainted,
and besides all this she is weak aud oow
ardly as soon aa gets into trouble; but still
the audience applaud loudly when the ’Earl
of Sussex’ valiantly espoused her oause.and
later on they breathed more freely when
the executioner accepted her bribe to fly
from his post of duty." Mile. Rhea’s inter
pretation of the character is accorded the
praise of tbe most eminent of dramatic
critics and she will hardly fail to receive a
warm reoeptlon here. Her.’engagement
this week is the first she has played In
Savannah in two years.

A Matter of Information.
In reply to the question by a good many
friends and customers as to why we do not
have any discount sales) 1 we will state
that as wo run a regular strictly one-price
system, with each and every article marked
In plain figures, wa cannot at the beginning
of a soason put any fancy prices on our
goods, neither can we charge one customer
(who may be an easy one, or not a judge of
goods.l more than another. We have but
one low popular live and let live price,
which by comparison, has and will be found
cheaper than these apparent discount
prices. We only make reductions on our
stock once a season, before inventory,whioh
we take twice a year. When we do this we
do not offer any fabulous per cent, discount,
as we do not put same on, and as we have
expenses to pay in order to run our busi
ness, we would be foolish to advertise sell
ing goods at cost or at large disoounts, as
the Savannah public is :oo wise to believe
we are doing business for fun or glory. All
we ask Is an examination of our stock and
price* which will speak for themselves.
Very respectfully,
