HOLLINS’ CROWD OUT.
AN UNFAVORABLE RBPORT ON THE
CENTRAL BY THE COMMITTEE.
Unable to Take Charge of the Road
In View of Its Lack of Credit—No
Recommendations Made—Reorgani
zation of the System Now Impera
tive—A New Committee Appointed
Which Is Expected to Report by
January.
Capt. H. C. Cunningham, B. A. Denmark,
Esq., and Mr. T. M. Cunningham arrived
la the city yesterday afternoon from New
York, where they have been in attendance
upon the meeting of the Central railroad
directors to receive the report ef the Hol
lins committee. They earns by way of the
South Bound railroad, leaving New York
city Friday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock and
arriving here at 5:10 o'olook yesterday.
Capt. Cunningham was seen last night
with regard to the resalt of the recent con
ference between the Central's etreotors and
the Hollins committee. He said that the
main pointe of interest in the
conference had already been given
to the publio through ho newspapers.
The substance was tnat the Hollins com
mittee, after a thorough investigation of
the Central affairs, reported that it was
unable to assume charge of the road’s
finances iu the present condition of its credit
or entire lack of credit. The committee
bad not found things quite as It had antici
pated and so was unable to undertake what
It at first expected to do. Consequently the
committee made uo recommendation of any
kind with regard to the future conduct of
the Central's finanoes.
THE REPORT HOT UNEXPECTED.
This unfavorable report was not entirely
unexpected by the directors as they bad
had intimations previously of what its char
acter was likely to be. This leaves tho
direetois without a plan as to the futuro
direction of the property.
The Speyer plan or reorganization was
put an end to when the Hollins
committee stepped in and undertook
t) (Street ihe rehabilitation ef the
Central’s fineness. Its failure to carry out
what it undertook leaves the Central direc
tors iu the same position in wblob they
were several months ago.
As announced in yesterday’s Mornino
News a committee consisting of H. B. Hol
lins, C. H.Pbinizy.Emanuel Lehman. James
T. Woodward. Bames Stillman, R. Rollins
Morse. E. E. Denniston, F. M. Colston and
Louis Fitzgerald, members of the present
advisory committee, and Jacob Scbitf were
requested to act as a committee to formu
late a speclfio plan for the rehabilitation of
the property and < redit of the company.
Directors George J. Mills and U. B. Har
rold were appointed a committee of the
board to confer and co-operate with the ad
visory committee.
ANOTHER REORGANIZATION SCHEME.
This oommittee will proceed at once to
formulate a plan for the reorganiza
tion of the Central system.
Capt. Cunningham said the committee
might be able to make a report by January.
There does not appear to be any doubt now
that a reorganization is imperative, said
Capt Cunningham.
The plan proposed by the oommittee will,
of course, 1 e upon the general line
of a decrease of the liabil
ities and a reduction of be
fixed charges. The reorga ization may be
of the heroio order and agsin it may be
very mild. Capt. Cunningham’s opinion is
that the plan to be recommended by the
committee will be of the latter character.
The committee will endeavor to make a
just and equitable reorganization wbifcb will
bear as lightly as p' S ible upon the stock
holders of the different portions of the
•ystem.
Mr. Comer and the directors remained in
New York to confer with tbe'eormnittes on
reorga ization. They are expected back
to morrow or next day.
The utter failure of the Hollins oommit
tee to take care of the Central’s finances, as
It had loudly proclaimed it intended to do,
was known in Savannah for some time be
fore the meeting in New York, but was
kep quiet beoause of the effect such a report
might have upon the securities. After all
the talk about what the Hollins oommittee
would accomplish nothing baa been done
except the postponement of the Speyer debs
of $3,700,000 for six months wi h interest at
the rate of 9 per oent. per annum.
The action of the Hollins orowd is a groat
disappointment to the large number of hold
ers of Central securities.
M. BOLEY &SSN FAIL.
The Business in the Hands of a Pre
ferred Creditor.
As was foreshadowed in the Morning
News yesterday the firm of M. Boley &
Son, furniture manufacturers and dealers,
on Broughton street, has failed. A m rt
gage for $35,460, given by the firm in favor
of Mrs. Fanoy Joseph, was recorded in the
clerk’s office of the superior court Friday
night.
A bill of sale was made Thursday night
and recorded, on which the stock and ac
counts were made the property of Mrs.
Joseph subject to a mortgage of SII,OOO in
favor of Mrs. H. M. Boley, wife of the
junior member of the firm. The establish
ment was yesterday taken in charge by Mr.
Moses Prager, who represents Mrs. Joseph.
A deed which hat connection with the
case was filed yesterday with the clerk. It
etatee that Prager indorsed notes for
the firm and that they are held by the fol
lowing banks: Merchants’ National, $1,750;
National Bank of Savannah, $3.315; Chat
ham Bank, $250; Southern, $2,000; Vv'. F.
Whitney, SSOO. These notes are unpaid,
besides another one of $4,000 held by the
Southern made by Prager and indorsed by
She Boleys.
There is some probability of litiga
tion in connection with the case, as
other creditors are expected to
come in and protect their claims. It is
said Mrs. Joseph’s intention is to close out
the business unless the contemplated litiga
tion interferes. The liabilities and assets
have not been exaotly computed, but it is
supposed that the liabilities will foot up
$70,000, with assets of about $40,000. Poor
collections is given as one of the principal
causes of the house going to the wall.

who were present at the ceremonies. The
grave was literally a mound of floral offer
ing;* from relatives and friends.

LEARNED FRO-d EXPEDIENCE.
The Queen and Crecoent Will Here
after Reapeot ihe Proas.
The Queen and Crescent system has fallen
into line with the majority of large trunk
lines m the coumuy in the matter of giving
Information to the press.
ihe Chattanooga Times of Friday has
the following about the road’s action:
Yesterday a letter v>as received by E. T.
Chariton, t.o division passenger and ticket
agent, from General Passenger Agent i£d
•.ards reading as follows:
"1 oiu advised by the traffic managers
that the general manager has issued in
structions to Supts. Griggs and McCarty
to instruot their trainmasters aud dis
patchers, when oalled upon by ibe press, to
give them all particulars iu cose of an ac
cident.
“Will you advise our newspaper friends
of the adoption of this rule and ask them to
kindly refrain from printing rumors wlth
ou. having them verified at our ofilces.”
This rule is in foioe on all large railway
systems, the officials of whicn fully appre
ciate ibe fact that vtheu information is
withheld or the facts misrepresented tho
repoiter is compelled to seek for the news
from outside sources, and, as a general rule,
those uot employes of the road are very apt
to exaggerate the st ry, or If this method is
not ava.iable there D most always the rival
r. ad to apply to for information, whose
officers are natural.y anxious to see their
competitive line "get the worßt of it,” and
to this end will readny use all the facilities
at their command to ootaiu the facts, and if
the t. utn is not "serious” enough, have little
scruple .n coloring the case to such an ex
tent that for a long time passengers will
desist Irom riding over the road on which
the accident happened, going over to their
competitor.
V\ bereas, if the dispatchers or other offi
cials ware authorized to give the facts to
the press. In the large majority of instances
the wreck would scarcely be worth more
than a few lines of passing notice.

In srleoting various artloles Mr. Hart

ENGLISHMEN INVESTIGATING SA
VANNAH'S PORT FACILITIiS.
A Representative of the Steamship
Syndicate Bars Yesterday—He Dis
cusses the Situation With Well-
Known Citizens and Admits Being
Impressed With Savannah’s Ad van
tages—Hs Will Return Hers With the
Capitalists tn a Month—A Prize
Worth striving for.
Col. Hiram B. Crosby of New York, an
influential capitalist representing the En
glish syndloate which is considering the
establishment of a line of steamers from
soma southeastern port to Liverpool, ar
rived la the city yesterday at Boon from
Hrunswlok. Col. Crosby wee accompanied
by Col. and Mrs. Thomas P. Stovall.
Col. Crosby and Col. Stovall have been
auietly making a tour of the state during
the last three weeks, making a thorough
survey of the territory and gathering in
formation as to railroad facilities and op
portunities for development of industries
in thts section.
The Ergilsh syndicate which Cel. Crosby
represents, proposes not only to establish a
steamship lias, but to buy up large tracts
of land upon which to settle Euglish immi
grants. Manufacturing industries and
other enterprises to develop the properties
wtiiohmayLe acquired, are also proposed.
savannah’s advantages pointed out.
Col. Crosby only spent a few hours in Sa
vannah and teak the steamer Chattahoochee
for New York at 6 o’clock. He has been
traveling about for three weeks now, and
is anxious to reach Now Y’ork, where he
ezpeots cable dispatches of importance
from the English syndicate. He visited Ba
vannab before and is well acquainted with
its facilities.
Col. Crosby spent his time here in consul
tation with Capt. D. G. Purse, CoL J. H.
Estill and ether gentlemen interested in the
development of the port, whe brought to
hie attention facte conoerning the facilities
and advantages of the port which might
otherwise have esoaped him.
Coi. Thomas p. Stovall and Col. I. W.
Avery, have, however, been with Col.
Crosby during almost the entire time ha has
been in the south and have furnished
him with an immense amount of
information concerning the advantages
end opportunities of a direct steamship line
and of the availability of the various
southern ports, particular attention being
given to Savannah.
EV T KING DEPENDS ON TnE RAILROADS
Coi. Crosby was of course u. able to state
positively when a steamship line will be be
gun or which port will be selected. He
gave the gentlemen with whom he conferred
to understand that there is tittle doubt of a
direct steamship lino being established if the
railroads manifest a willingness to afford
the proper facilities. In fact he is thor
oughly committed to the scheme.
The English capltadsts represented by
Col. Crosby have large shipping Interest,
and aie fully able to undertake an enter
prise of the magnitude prop wed. Not only
do they propose to establish a steamship
line and to buy up large irao:* of la id upon
which to sett e Immigrants, but tbey will
also establish a bank with a capital of
$1,000,000 at whatever point may b e
seleeted as the terminue of the steamship
company fur the purpose of affording facili
ties of exohauge upon products shipped by
their line.
The magnitude of the roheme Is hardly
comprehended by the people of Savannah.
A bank with a capital of $1,000,000, all con
tributed by gu'aide parties, is worth mak
ing every effort to secure.
TUB CAPITALISTS WERE BERK.
A party of the English capitalist* inter
ested in the scheme made a q let tour of
this section iast mouth. Those composing it
were Mr. K. Sarido, Bir George H. haden-
Fowell, Hon. Cecil 8. Parker of Loudon,
and Hon. A. D. Provaud, member of parlia
ment. They left New York fur Loudon
Nov. 20.
These gentlemen were so much impressed
by what they saw that they will return to
America in a shot t time to make further in
vestigations. Col. Crosby will pro' ably
accompany the party sou hward the lat e’r
part of this month, when they will visit
Savannah.
Col. Crosby Intimated that he was muoh
pleased with Savannah and said it offers
greater opportunities than any other s uth
eastern port, being already a city oomplete
with wharves, rallroods, warehouses and
shipping and banning facilities, making it
only necessary to bring the steamship line
here, ev er.v thing else being in readiness.
Capt. Purse impressed the fact upon him
of the great favor in which Savannah is
held by the western cities, all of whioh are
very desirous of tbs consummation of the
plan proposed.
OUR WESTERN ADVANTAGES SHOWN.
The immense amount of business now
dons by the Ocean steamship Company to
to the west was brought to Col. Crosbv’e
attention.
Cob. Stovall and Avery have b en en
gaged in working up the idea of a direct
steamship line for the lust several months
ami are now confident of the early realiza
tion of the soherne.
A meeting of the railroad presidents of
the southern arid western lines as far west
as Kansas City and St. Louis will be he and in
Atlanta Dec. Bto co aider what Induce
ments in ihe way of freight rates and
facilities can be offered to the steamship
syndloate.
Col. Stovall said last night that a guaran
tee by the railroad presidents of such rates
ami facilities as would insure sufficient
freight for a line of steamers wouTl practic
ally insure the establishment of the steam
ship H no.
Cols. Stovall and Avery will remain in
the city to consult further w.th Mr. Comer
upon his return from New Yorit with re
gai dto the meeting of the ruiiroad presi

Aleck Young was dangerously stabbed
last night at a house ou Guerard street

not go a little deeper, or he would be dead

The men got into a fight over some trifling

CHRISTMAS IS IN SIGHT.

“How to Do It."
If you will ask the very first end very
smallest boy or girl you meet, “When’s
Christmas!" a hat on it, that he or she
will promptly reply, “It’s just twenty-one
days till Christmas, and what’re you goin’
to gimme.” We won't tie ourselves to the
exact phraseology, but substantially we are
not far out of line.
The little fellows are not the only ones
who are given a subject proliflo of thought
in Christmas, but the big people also find it
a matter of reflection whioh, like Bauquo'e
shade, won’t “down” at any one's bidding.
Now, don't shake your head and cry
“Pooh! pooh 1 Nonsense. A ohild’shobby,"
My good sir, or madam, if yon are as old as
Methuselah or as gray as a badger, be
candid for once aud confess that if you are
overlooked in the jolly Yale-tide and not
remembered by some token, however (light,
you are miffed.
To be sure, you are.
Well, as intimated, here’s Christmas
again a trifling three weeks awey, and
it’s high time you were looking up the
presents that you intend to and must be
stow.
The great merit of Christmas giving ie
utility —putting the right thing in the
right place—aught otherwise is an extrava
gant waa:e of money and intention. Let us
help you in your search, and begin by taking
you to B. H. Levy Sc Bro.’s Immense fine
clothing and furnishing house, where your
every requirement and taste oan begrat.fied
substantially, fittingly and cheaply.
First, their splendid variety of season
able suits aDd overcoats, hats and so on ,
deserve your attention.
Then if you like, look over their great
display of artloles most suitable for your
purpose: Dressinggowus. smoking jackets,
silk umbrellas, silk handkerchiefs, fanoy
neokwear, fine embroidered suspenders, and
many other niok-nacks valuable and useful
in a gentleman’s or boy’* toilet. Levy*'
prices are always lower than those of any
other house, and as an additional incentive
they offer this month in addition a discount
of 10 per cent, on every oash purobaae.
There is so tnuob obioanery and so many
questionable methods in vogue these days
that you will find it a pleasure to deal with
a large house whose methods are all plain,
legitimate and of unquestionable integrity.

A Novel Enteror Be.
The Title Gnarnn eo and Loan Company
of Savannah has introduced a novel feature
int > its operations, which promises to be a
vast advantage to business me. and others
desiring occasional short loans. Under the
power conferred by the last legislature, the
company is authorized to indorse commer
cial paper, thereby enabling persons to pro
cure loans from the banks for shorter pe
riods than Is usual when regula loans are
made on i oal estate. Ihe company takes
from the person desiring its indorsement a
dea lor mortgage to Becure the same, and
guarantees payment to the amount of the
security so that the party may borrow from
timo to time as may bed, sired, and pay the
interest only for the period during which
tbs money is required. At the expiration
of that time interest c> ases. but a further
loan may be tberenf.er effeoted without the
necessity of making and recording uew se
curities.
The scheme is an excellent one, and
promises to be a great b nefU to persons
who desire nooasional accommodation at
the banks, aud either oannot or do not de
sire to prooure the usual indorsements.
