THE TALK QUIETING DOWN.
Not So Much About Central as There
Has Been In the Last Few Days.
Things have quieted down somewhat with
regard to Central railroad matters, and
there was less talk yesterday about tbe
probabilities of the future action of tbe
various parties interested.
The New York Herald says that one of
the plans under discussion in the Terminal
and highly favored by the Brice-Thomas
party is ' to completely reorganize the
Terminal company and give it anew name.
It is proposed to organise a company
■which acuoliy owns the railroads. The
present Terminal company, as is well
known, does not own a mile of ruilroad
track. The plan is to reorganize the whole
system of railroad* now controlled by the
Terminal by making a main stem of tbe
Richmond and Danville from PJcbmond to
the Mississippi river, with the Central
railroad a-d the East Tenmtsaoe, Virginia
and Georgia as its main feeders.
It is predicted that if this tcbe .10 goes
through President luinan will resign the
prasidency of the Terminal.
The report that the Richmond and Dan
ville, East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
and the Central railroads are to be ojieratod
independently and the Central’s main offices
are to tie returned to Savannah would lie
good news i.ere, if confirmed. It would
also be gladly received by tho 200 or 300
Sava inahiaus who have been sojourning in
Atlanta since the removal of the offices to
that point and most of whom aro very
anxious to ret urn here.
No suit of any kind was filed against the
lessees of the Ceutral railroad or to enjoin
the newly—looted directors hero yesterday.
Nuoh action was closely watched for, but
without result.
M’OOY’3 DAY OF FATS.
The Murderer of John Bowie to Hang
at Hlnesvlllo To-day.
Will McCoy (colored) hangs to-day at
Hinesville for the murder of John Bowie
icolored) in Liberty oounty last September.
Bowie was killed at a festival given at his
mother’s house, to which Wilt McCoy and
his brother Sherman went with tho express
purpose of creating a row.
McCov wo* indicted, tried and convicted
at the November term of Liberty court and
was sentenced to hang Dec. 18.
Gov. Northen granted a reprieve until to
day, to allow his counsel, llenjamin Way,
time to secure evidence upon which to base
a petition for commutation of the sentence
to imprisonment for life.
Mr. Way presented a petition to Gov.
Northen in Atlanta this week asking that
the sentence bo commuted to life Imprison
ment. He wes confronted with a counter
petition signed by the foreman of the jury
that convicted McCoy and a number of citi
zens of Liberty county, urging that the sen
tence be allowed to remain as It was.
Judge Falligant, Mediator General Fraser
and tho prosecuting att may, W. XV. Os
b true, Esq., were requested to sign the peti
tion, but refused, holding that the sentence
was just, and that In heir opinion the
murdor was brutal a:d unjustifiable. Gov.
Northen telegraphed Mr. Osborne concern
ing tne matter, and Mr. Osborne forwarded
a full review of the trial with the facta
brought out. The governor saw no reason
why clemency should bo shown McCoy.
If nothing interienes, be willexpiate his
sentence to-day.
AN ALL. ABOUND COLD DAY.
People V. ho Line Srarp-Weather Have
Nothing to Complain or.
Yesterday was a gouuiuely cold day.
Mercury did .not rise above 42° during the
day and fell as low as 32' J , the mean being
13 c below the normal.
Tho breezes drove the cold air into every
crack and crevice and made things decidedly
uupleasnut away from a warm lire. People
kept off tiir streets and staid indoors
us much as possible. It was colder
in the Atlantic and Eastern Gulf slates
and throughout the lake rogion. The
temperature rose in the Central and Upper
Mississippi vaileys, and west of the Missis
sippi. Generolly fair weather prevailed
throughout all sections, except in Ohio, In
diana, lowa, Mm lesota and the lake rogion,
where general cloudiness prevailed, with
snow at Buffalo, Detroit, Chicago and Da*
veuport. The barometer was the highest in
the South Atlantic and East Gulf states,
and lowest over the upper lake region.
The forecast for .Savannah and vicinity
is: Generally fair and warmer.

j The Macon and Dublin Pushing
Toward Savannah.
To be built to Savannah in ninety day*.
General Manager Wright of the Macon
and Dublin railroad has returned from
; Chicago and bring* that new*. A meeting
: of the directors cf the Georgia Improve
ment Company, which is the chief
' owner of the Macon and Dublin road
was held in Macon day before yesterday.
General Manager Wright stated that the
road will be built to Savannah, and work
will begin very shortly. Very shortly in
this instance means something definite,
Manager Wngut said that he was in a posi
tion to say that something will be done
witbin ninety days. He says no plans have
bten definitely settled unon as yet, but the
company is in a position to decide
upon its c urie at short notice. The
most e oouraging part of the piece of in
formation came In General Manager
Wrighta reply to the Inquiry as to where
and bow the bonds have been placed. It
was supposed that if the road was to be ex
tended some Macon and Dublin bonds would
have to be floated, but Manager Wright
settled this by saying that not a bond has
Leon sold, nor are there any in the market.
“It is not necessary for us to tell a bond,"
' he said, “In order to complete the road to
j Savannah. You can take my word for it,
that tbe extension will be made, whether a
single bond is sold or not.”
“I suppose you do not sell because there is
no market."
“On the contrary, we have refused
offers. We have had offers for the bonds,
but, for prudential reasons, have declined
to sell. Of course the Macon and Dublin
would sell its bunds, I suppose, but it has
not done *5, and need not if it doesn’t want
to. No matter wnich, the road is to be ex
tended to Savannah.”
Manager Wright will elve no informa
tion as to tbe plan most favorably discussed
for tbe ext-nslon of the road, but simply
said it is oomlng to Savannah within tbe
noxt ninety days. He will have nothing to
say about the possibility of a deal with
the Macon and Atlantio, by which a satisfac
tory connection could be effected at Brewton
and trains run through to Savannah. He
said the Macon and Dubliu is much in
touch with the interest* of tbs people as it
is posal le to be, and it will certainly work
to all Interests in any move It might make.
This might moan that It would buy the
Macon and Atlantic if the latter road cared
to sell, or that it could act Indepeueutly if
it were necessary.
Another imp >1 tant statement by General
Manager Wright Is that the people he rep
resents are pleased with their investments
in Georgia. Ho says the Illinois and Geor
gia Improvement Company considers tho
Macon and Dublin road a fine piece of
property, and is willing to put more money
into it. He says the oompany is fully cog
nizant of the necessity of an extension of
the road, and the course is unanimously ap
proved.
Tbe Macon ani Dublin, Manager AVrlght
says, is doing a very satisfactory business,
which is increasing all the time.
FIRES MUCH TOO FRKQ'JBNT.
Another One Yesterday in the Ruins
of Motelnger’e Stables.
Tho firemen are having a hard time of it.
They have had from two to seven alarms a
day since the beginning of tho yoar, and
they are pretty well broken down.
The epidemic of Bros began with tho two
fire* in tbe southern portion of the city di
rectly after the entraooe of tbe new year,
and has kept up ever since. The alarms have
become so common as almost to attract lit
tle attention. Fortunately most of the fires
have been small and the datnagw has not
been very great, if the Tide Water Oil Com
pany’s fire lost Saturday is excepted.
Tho firemen nro hoping fro break in the
ruu of fires, as they are in ueod of a rest.
Fire broke out about 1:30 o’clock yester
day afternoou iu the roof of Mositnger’s
stables on Randolph street, opposite the
Tybee depot, which were noarly destroyed
by firo Sunday morning.
An alarm was turned in from box 71.
The fire department responded and quickly
extinguished tho blaze. It is supposed to
have staried from tire which had been
smoldering in tiie roof sinou tbe Sunday
morning lire, as the shingles of the building
are very old and moss covered. This build
ing seems determined to burn. After the
firemen left the place Sunday morning, sup
posing the fire to have been entirely extin
guished, tiisy were oalled back about 4
o’elook by a telephone alarm. the roof hav
ing again sprung Into a blaze.
W. J. Killorih’s dwelling and store and
stock of good* at Anderson and Habersham
streets were almost totally destroyed by the
fire early yesterday morning, a brief report
of which appeared in the Morning News.
There was 5'2,000 insurance on the building
and $1,00(1 on the stock with Rowland &
Myers iu tho Western of Toronto.
A SIORY WITHOUT TRUTH.
An Ottawa Newspaper’s Account of a
Mythical i rsvedy.
Chief of Polioe Green has received a lat
ter from an Augusta gentleman inclosing
this clipping from au Ottawa, (Canada.)
newspaper:
An Ottawa boy named .lack V.helan left
this city for the south some weeks ago. and a
letter was received from him by a relative. In
which lie relates a horrible siory of a murder
which was committed in his very presence
while he was in Savannah. While on a trip
west Whelan met a comrade at Buffalo, N Y.,
and they both started south together. The
second nlgut after they arrived in Savannah,
they strolled into a saloon, not knowing just
what kml of a resort it was. Tue place hap
pened to he crowded with biz burlv negroes,
who insulted Whelan’s friend Immediately he
entered the bar and a tight started. The blacks
fairly slaughtered the sirangorwith knives, and
he died from the effects of his injuries the fol
lowing day. Whelan managed to cet out of the
melee uninjured. He says there was no notice
whatever tasen of his comrade's death by the
authorities. Whelan is a son of Mr. Michael
Whelan, the well-known carter of this city.
The Ottawa paper was misinformed when
it printed this story. The police authori
ties have no knowledge of any such case as
reported. The publieatioa is a reflection
not only upon the city authorities, but upon
the people of Savannan, which it is likelv tho
Ottawa paper will be willing to correct!
CARL Fldi HRIQ MUSING.
He Left for New York on the Chatta
hoochee and la Lost Bight Of.
There Is some surmising and considerable
speculation as to what has become of Carl
Foehrig, who left Savannah Deo. 2 on the
Chattahoochee for New York. He was well
kuowu in this city, and was for a couple
of years foreign correspondent for a
Bay street house. He left the latter part
of November. His baggage is still iu New
York, ia the possession of tile Ocean Steam
ship Company, unclaimed.
F.iehr tg wi.s known to have been on tho
steamer, but whether he wont ashore at
New York is not positively known, and it is
believed by some that be either accidentally
fell overboard from the steamer at sea, or
that he suicid'd bv jumping over.
The majority of people who knew him in
cline to the latter ouinion, as Foehrig had
beeu dsscharged by his employers for not
attending to bis duties. He may have
brooded over the matier until his mind be
came deranged. Nobody saw him go over
board, and the mystery is where he is.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, JANUARY 8. 1892.
AT THE THEATER.
Mils. Rhea Interprets tbe Russian
Empress to a Responsive Audience.
O wing to tbe cold and several counter at -
tractions, Mile. Rhea did not have as large
an audience last night as she merited. Still,
tbe audience was a good one, according to
the ordinary method of measuring house*
Although the play of “La Czarina" u not
exactly perfect, according to American
view*. Mile. Rhea’s interpretation is some
what superior to the text.
In the first act she is not seen quite at her
best. In tbe second and third acta she
gradually gains in effect upon the audience.
As "Prime Minister,” iycroll Dunbar is
effective all thr ugh the pfly. But “Coar”
William Harris only develops his best work
with the opening of toe fourth act. Then
the audience fairly begins to appreciate his
rendition of “Peter tbe Great, and the
response to his efforts thereafter is cordial.
I-aureno Rees does a neat bit of work as
“Count Hapilba,’' the Polish ambassador,
a id likewise the lover of the “Czarina.” In
his scene with Miss Una Abell, as “Olga,"
daughter of the prime minister, tbe acting
of both was thoroughly true to the 00m
monly accepted conceptions of nature in
such a scene.
The costumes were elegant. Mile. Rhea’s
were notably so. Some of them were ex
ceedingly brilliant.
To-night the oompany will present
“Catherine Howard," fifth wife of He ,ry
VIII., in which piav even freer scope
is given the whole company for the mani
festation of their abilities, and the acting of
Mile. Rhea in the title role may naturally
bs exiiected to prove even more impressive
tlian the charaoter of the Russian sover
eign’s consort. And with nothing else to
interfere she will probably attract such a
house a* she deserves.
Ell Perkins at tbe Y. M. O. A.
The Hon. Eli Perkins is to be at the
Young Men’s Christian Associatien to-mor
row night. The entertainment committee
expects a big audience there to laugh with
him. Eli (Melville D. Landon. A. M.) u a
graduate of Union College, and ia a roan of
broad culture and extensive travel. So that
while be is un exceedingly humorous man
he is not coarse, and delights and entertains
audiences of the best people. A leading
New York newspaper mm said of him:
"He will separate wit from humor. He
will change tearful pathos to laugh-pro
voking ridicule. He will explain irony and
satire and illustrate lugersoll’s fallacy of
ridioule. He will show bow to destroy an
error with satire and kill a truth with ridi
oule, while the audience is kept constantly
laughing and thinking."
Parties holding season reserved seat
tickets to tho Young Men's Christian Asso
ciation entertainments should note this
ohauge from Friday night to Saturday.
This was done so as not to eonfliot with the
Hustings boing held at the churches.

Not an Odd Fellows’ Goat.
In the Emancipation day parade last week
the Grand United Order of tho Knights of
Archery had a handsomely decorated billy
goat in their ranks. What part the goat
plays in the order is not known, but he was
an exceedingly well behaved g .at on

association of tho goat with Odd Fellowship

PANO FOPE’i INTERCSBBION FOR
THE HANJIKOS BROTHERS.
The Greeks Plead Guilty to Unlawful
Shooting and Are let Ctf With a
Fine Through the Prayer of the Man
Whom They Tried to Murder—A Re
markable Exhibition of a Forgiving
Spirit—Other Cases in tbe Courts.
Tbe Hanjikos brothers who were indicted
by tbe superior oourt grand jury for as
saulting with iDteut to murder Pauo Pope,
pleaded guilty yesterday to unlawful shoot
ing, and were fined |250 each. Tbe plea
was accepted through the intercession of
Pope, who begged the lcuiency of
the court in behalf of his
assailants. Tbe case is an unusual one. The
shooting took place on Bay street, and was
the result of a previous quarrel between
Pope aud the Hanjikoc brothers who were
Pope’s j rivals in the fruit business.
The shooting appeared to be entirely un
provoked. The Hanjikos brother* had
already attacked Pano Pope a few days be
fore on Congress street, and given him a
good mauling because he objected to their
stopping their carts in froutof bis fruit
stauii. The fruit dealers were at Kavan
auzh St Brennan’s as usual on the Monday
morning following the first attack, when
the three HanjUos brothers and Peter
Platan itea approached Pope and renewed
the difficulty.
The salesman attempted to separate them
when Nicholas Hanjikos drew a revolver
and, exclaiming to the crowd to stand out
of the way, commencing shooting directly
at Pope who was only a few feet away. He
fired three shots, two of which took effect,
one making a flesh wound in Pope’s right
arm and the other making a similar wound
in his right thigh. The shooting oaused
great excitement and Hanjikos tied down
Bay street pursued by a crowd,
including a policeman. He had
another pistol on his person, which he drew
ami tired several shots at parties who tried
to intercep- him. He was captured after a
desperate chose in Jones’ field beyond the
Tvboe depot.
It was generally expected, on account of
the viciousness of the attack aud the sub
sequent desperate resistance to arrest, that
Hanjikos was sure of a term ia the coal
mine*. Tbe result was a general surprise to
all who were acquainted with the circum
stance* Pope left the oourt room with his
assailant*, profuse in hie expressions of de
light that they got off us they did.
The Pittman murder trial, which was to
nave been tried in the superior court yes
terday, was postponed owing to the ab
sence of one of the witnesses for the de
tente.
The grandfjury in the United State* dis
trict court returned several indictments
yesterday. About the most important was
an indictment for embezzlement against
Ryal J. Phillips, late postmaster at Adel, for
embezzlement of money order funds and
illegal issue of money orders. Phillips is
well known in this section and has figured
quite prominently as a republican politi
cian. He applied for tho p sition of consul
general to Cuba upou the election of Presi
dent Harrison, hut was satisfied with a
fourth-class postinas.ership.
ludictmeuts were returned against John
Simpson of Cba’ham oounty for passing
counterfeit money, and John Kemp of
Emanuel for violation of the internal reve
nue law. y ,
The grand jury was discharged for the
term after presenting its report.

The Savannah, Florida and Western rail
way’s 00 .tract with It* engineers for this
year is upon the mileage basis now in use by
tbe Richmond and Danville and most of the
large railway systems of the country, In
stead of the per diem basis heretofore in use.
The contract i* said to be a very favorable
one to the engineer*, tbe average day’s
earnings of an engineer under Its operations
bsing from $4 to 85 per day. Some few
of the engineers are disturbed at the
change, but most of them are well satisfied
with it, it is said.
Mersre. Duncan and Thomas of the South
Carolina Railroad Commission met In Co
lumbia Wednesday, but the meeting was
not formal. The provision of passenger
accommodation at the Denmark crossing of
the South Bound road aud South Carolina
railway was attended to. The commission
has notified the officers of both road* of the
facts and complaints. In the letter trans
mitting the same tho commission
urges tho railroad authorities to erect
waiting rooms at this crossing. This
is tbo whole desire of the complainant*
Some of the oomplaitita were, however, not
consldvred as founded in fact, or, at least,
any act ehargeable a* negligence to the
roads. It is likely that the whole matter
will be rapidly settled. Tbe commissioners
seem very much in earnest that ttie passen
gers desiring exohauge shall be accommo
dated.
