THE MACON SHORT LINE.
JOHN a YOUNG PRESIDENT OF
THE NEW ORGANIZATION.
A Board of Directors c hosen But no
Plena Given < ut— Judge tpeer Signs
the Checks lor the Distribution of
$60,000 to the Attorneys ind Sub
contractors of the M*con and At
lantic and Yt Inds Dp the Lone Liti
gation.
President John It. Young of the Atlantic
Bh ort Line ha- returned from Mac n. Mr.
Young, it will be remembered, was the pur
chaser of the pr perty of the Macon and
Atlaniic railroad and that of the Mac n
and Savannah Construction Company at
the sale in Macon several weeks ago by
order of the court. The price paid was
about $400,000.
The old property was reincorporated ac
cording to law under the name of the At
lantic Short Line. A meeting of the own
ers was held in Macon Saturday for the
purpose of organization.
The following directors were elected:
Maj. J. F. Hanson, H. J. Lamar and R. H.
Plant of Macon; W. L. Strong, Solomon
Stein and Henry Rioe of New York; I. L.
MoK.ee of Memphis and Lewis Kayton and
John R. Young of Savannah. Mr. Young
was elected president.
WO PLANS GIVEN OUT.
Mr. Young deolined to make any state
ment whatever of the plans of the new
company, nor would he give any intima
tion of what it proposed doing. It is sup
posed that the plan will be to ooinplete the
Atlantia Short Line from Savannah to
Dublin to connect with the Macon, Dublin
and Savannah railroad from Dublin to
Macon. This would give a short route to
Macon through a very fine territory.
In the United States circuit court yester
day J udge Emory Speer signed checks for
the distribution of $50,000 to Messrs. Steed
& Wimberly, Hill, Harris & Iliroh, and
Hardeman and Nottingham, attorneys for
numerous subcontractors of the Maoon and
Atlantic, which winds up the famous liti
gation over this railroad, in which J. S. Mc-
Tighe & Cos., the large railroad con
tractors, figured conspicuously, and Maj. J.
F. Hanson, CoL Henry J. Lamar and other
gentlemen of Macon also figured as sureties
•who were caught on a bond for $60,(D0.
Various phases of the litigation were pend
ing in the superior court of bibb county,
Georgia, and also in tbs United states court
at Maoon.
JUDGE SPKEH’H DECISION.
Judge Speer rendered a judgment
against the sureties named in favor of
the subcontractors, after a hotly contested
fight, and at one time it seemed probable
that these geutlemen were to be very heavy
losers. They, however, through their at
torneys, Messrs. Marlon Erwin and R.
W. Patterson, filed a bill in the
United N lab's oourt putting McTighe
& Cos., the plain titf s in the
etete court litigation, themselves in the
bands of a reoeiver, and obtained a decree
for the sale of the entire olaim of McTighe
& Cot, against the railroad. At this stage
of the proceedings Mr. Young, represent
ing a number of bondholders interested in
the road, stepped in and arranged a com
promise between the various interests, and
the order Judge Speer made yesterday
closes the compromise finally and’dlsmisses
the last of the pending proceedings. The
syndicate represented by Mr. Young now
holds a deed from the commissioners of the
superior oourt of Bibb county who sold the
road in the interest of the reorganisation.
The sureties, Maj. Hanson and others,
above mentioned, bave been suooeesfully
protected and the litigation has terminated
to the satisfaction of all parties concerned.
The subcontract rs will now be esiieoially
rejoiced io receiving so large a sum.
This insures the completion of anew line
of railroad between Macon and Savannah
in a very short time, either as an independ
ent line or as a connecting line with the
Macon and Dublin railroad.
THS WSAThUB MILDER.
The Way to Read the Wea.her Bu
reau’a Storm Signals.
Yesterday was a oold, chilly and rather
disagreeable day. The prediction for to
day is for fair aDd colder weather.
As the storm Bignals hoisted by the
weather bureau do not seem to be gen.
orally understood tbe observer offers tbo
explanation of these signals:
A red flag with a black center Indicates
that if easterly winds with freezing temper
ature the velocity will be 26 miles per hour,
or over, if easterly winds with tempera
tures above freezing, and westerly wi.ids
with freezing temperature, 29 miles per hour
and over. If Westerly winds with tempera
ture above freezing 63 miles per hour or
over.
Tbe pennants displayed with the flags in
dicate the direction o! the'wind; red east
erly (from northeast to south); white,' west
erly (from southwest to north). The
pennant above tbe flag lndioates that the
wind is expeoted to blow Iroui the northerly
quadrant; below, from the southerly quad
rant
By night a red light indicates easterly
winds a..d a white light above a red light
indicates westerly winds.
Tbe • Information signal" consists of a red
pennant and indicates that the local ob
server has received information from tbe
central office of a storm oovering a limited
area, dangerous only for vessels about to
sail to oertam poiuts. The signal will -erve
as a notification to shipmasters that the
neoessary information will be given them
upon application to local obser > er.

IT AMOUNTS TO NOTHING.
President Comer on the Attachment
of the Central’s Property.
The Central railroad directors will hold a
special meeting in Savannah to-day.
President Comer intimated last night that
the plan of reorganization will be ucased
upon, in which case it will be immediately
given to tbe publics
Mr. Comer was asked last night about the
attachment secured from tbe supreme
| oourt of New York by the Richmond and
Danville Railroad oompany against tbe
Central railroad's property in New York
for $1,213,465 for money al
leged to have been advanced
by tbe Danville company to the
Central to discharge the accrued interest on
the bonds of the latter road and in paying
other debts and obligations of tbe road.
Mr. Comer replied that tbe attachment of
the Richmond and Danville would amount
to nothing. It is merely meant to prevent
the reorganization of tbe Central and has
no other purpose.
Mr. Comer said that the attachment will
be of no effect, as property In the hands of
the court cannot be attached. To use a
legal term the action will not lie. The
property of the Central in New York, as
sell as that in Georgia and elsewhere, Mr.
Comer said, has heen placed in tha hands of
the receiver by the United States oourt, and
being under the protection of the court is
entirely out of reach of any such aotion.
Mr. Comer was asked If tbe Central did
not have some olaima against ths Richmond
and Danville for indebtedness contracted by
tha latter road while In possession of the
Central, but whioh wera discharged by tbe
reoeiver after tbe property wes placed in
his hands. He replied that the Central
did have a bill against the Rich
mond and Danville for about *2,500.000
for indebtedness discharged by tba Central
for wbiob the Richmond and Danville was
liable. From this amount, however, must
be deducted the value of material received
by the Central from tbe Richmond and
Danville at the time of tbe transfer of the
property last March. This bill of the Cen
tral against the Richmond and Danville in
cludes no charge for the depreciation of the
property while In the hands of the lessees.
The general opinion of thoee acquainted
with Ceutral affairs is that tha move by the
Richmond aud Dauville is merely an at
tempt to injure the Central at a
critical moment just as the plan of
reorganization is about to bs broached. The
opiniou is that this is only the first gun of a
long and bitter battle between the two great
systems, both of whioh sre now in tbe
hands of receivers.
Col. William Garrard, associate counsel
of the Central, who has baen absent for
several days in New York upon legal busi
ness of tha Central, returned yesterday
morning. Col Garrard spent several hours
In conference with President Comer and
left again last night for New York.
THE COAST LINE’S PLANS.
A Denial That It la (Seeking a Con
nection Wlte the South Bound.
The Morning Star of Wilmington, N.
C., of Jan. 5. has an article called forth by
the article in the Morning News of Jan. 2,
giving a rumor that the Atlantic Coast
Line was preparing to build to a connection
with tbs South Bound railroad at Den
mark, The article corroborates for
the most part the reports published in the
Mohnino News, which were merely given
as rumor at the time.
As the headquarters of the Atlantia
Coast Line are at Wilmington, the Star
and ub less makes its statements on good au
th rity. It says:
It is true that the Atlantic Coast Line in
teuds to continue the extension of the Man
chester and Augusta railroad to Denmark.
8. C., on Its way to Augusta. Twenty miles
of this is already built; there remains to
construct forty-tlve miles.
At Denmark it will couneot both with the
South Bound railroad and with the South
Carolina railroad. The construction of the
road to Denmark will make the Atlantic
Coast Line the short line from Washington
to Augusta. Macon and many other interior
Georgia points, using the fifty-six miles of
the South Carolina railroad between Den
mark and Augusta to reaoh Augusta.
The principal object of the construction
of this road to Denmark by the Atlantic
Coast Line is to reach Augusta.
A large amount of the freight business
.done out of Florida to northern points by
the Coast Line now comes from the line of
the Florida Central ad Peninsula railroad,
which bas leased the South Bound railroad.
The Atlantic Coast Line will, nf course, be
glad to receive this busiuess at Denmark, if
it cannot secure it elsewhere.
The distance from Florence to Denmark
will be 108 miles, exactly toe same distance
from Florenoe to Charleston.
It is expected that the construction of kills
road will bo completed within twelve
months.
The report that the Atlantic Coast Hue
desires to turn its freight and passenger bus
iness, now bandied by the Plant system,
over to the South Bound, the Star ‘Teams
from tlie highest official souroes is Incor
reot." Railroad men in Savannah, how
ever, believe otherwise. If the objeot of
the Coast Line was merely to get Into Au
gusta it oould build the necessary link in
three months, but if it is to take twelve
months to build forty-five miles of line it
would appear that the Coast Hue was wait
ing for the Florida Central and Peninsular
railroad to complete its extension to Savan
nah.
That the Coast Line will build to Den
mark now seems assured. This will nrske
Denmark the most important point ou the
3outh Bound railroad between Savannah
and Columbia. It is already tbe junction
point of the South Bound road and the
South Carolina railway, and with the addi
tion of ths Coast Hue it would rapidly de
velop into a large town.
Funeral of T. F. Me affray.
Thomas F. MoC'affrey’* funeral from the
cathedral yeeierday af ernoon was largely
attended by the friends of tbe dead young
man. Vicar General Cafferty, assisted by
Rev. W. A. McCarthy, performed the last
tad rites of the Catholic church. During
the services the enoir sang “Jesus, Lover of

in h.s tli a! resting plaoo under a wreath of
floral tributes from bis friends.

WALTERS OWED TAXES.
HIS MANDAMUS AGAINST THE
REGISTRARS DISMISSED.
The Plaintiff Led H’a Attorney Astray
and He Dropped the Case—Mr. Baut
ey, However, Gets a Mandamus
Against tbe Registrars of tbe First
and Second Dietrlcte on Two Other
cases—Tbe Hearing to Take Place
To-night.
The Walters mandamus proceedings
bgalusc Registrars Cooley, Canty and
(Julun of tbe First district cams to an
abrupt termination in the superior oourt
yesterday afternoon.
When tbe oase was oalled, at 3 o’clock,
tbe registrars were In oourt ready to show
canso for refusing to aocept Mr. Walters’
name, but they were relieved of this trouble
by J. R. Saussy, Jr., Ksq., attorney for Wal
ters, who moved to dismiss tbe mandamus.
In support of his motion Mr. Sauisy said
Walters bad first stated to him that he was
willing to swear be had paid all taxes due
to the state, but since the matter had been
brought Into oourt tbe plaintiff discovered
that he did not pay taxes during 1878 and
1879, on aocount of having been tempora
rily absent during a portion of these years,
which necassarily disqualified Walters
from rsgisterlng until these taxes are paid.
JUDGE FALLIOANT’S DECISION.
Judge Falllgant promptly dismissed tha
maudatnua, but Mr. Haussy gava nolle# to
tbe court that ha bad otbar like proceedings
in course of preparation.
Last night the attorney filed two petitions
for mandamus against the registrars of the
First and Second districts, and Judge Fal
ligant granted tbe application in eaoh case,
returnable to-night at 8 o’clock. The
plaintiff against the First district registrars
is Theodore L. Mitchell (oolored). He ap
plied a few dayt ago for registration, but
wna refused on tha ground that the name of
Theodore Mitchell appeared on the hooks,
but not Theodore L. Mitchell. He offered
to swear in bis rizbt, but was
refused and told to bring a certif
icate. Mitchell went to Tax Collector
MoGowan’s office aud received a certificate
(rom Clerk I'laten that he was clear on the
books for all taxes due stuce he became
liable, but still the registrars iel used him,
and, Mitchell alleges, drove him away.
The certificate from the tax collector's
office is attached to Mitobell’s petition.
THL AUTHOR OF THE SUIT.
The case against tbe registrars of the
Seoond district is brought by Charles J\
Martino. He has been a resident of Savannah
only two yean, and when the registrars re
fused him because his name was not on the
boobs. Martina offered to swear he has been
a resident of Georgia only two yeara.and pro
duced tax receipts to substantiate hi*claim.
Still, for some reason best known to the
registrars, Martina was not allowed to reg
ister.
Mr. Sausay says there will be no alip
up in those cases, as he has ample evidence
to prove tba affidavits of both bis olients.
Ha said to-night’s proceedings will be highly
interesting.
The registrars had plenty of work yester
day. Several hundred voters, mostly white,
qualified themselves. If tbe registration
keeps up for tbe next five days as it has
since the opening of tne books the vote next
Tuesday will exceed that of two years ago
by several hundred.

LITTLE BISTERS OF THE POOR.
Tbe Noble Work They Are Doing for
the Aged and Inflrmed.
The friend* of tbe Little SiMers of tbe
Poor who oonduot tbe Home for th* Aged
at Perry and Drayton etreete wish atten
tion called to the effort now being made by
the society to aecure new and more auitable
quarters for the work.
Tbe Little Sisters of the Poor is a society
or organization which devotes itself entirely
to caring for the aged and inflrmed who are
without means or friends. The eociety only
began its work in Savannah in 1890, when
It was granted tbe old episcopal
residence at Perry and Drayton streets.
The sisters are members of a Catholic order
whose headquarters are In France.
Tbe members devote their lives to this
work of caring for the aged, and are tent
out by the parent society to all quarters of
the globe. Many of them are women of
birth and refinement. Though a Catholic
institution, no queatlooa are asked aa to
religion or creed of applicants, and the ma-
J'ority of thoae now inmates of the home are
’rotestants. No person under 60 years of
age is received at the home. There
are now over forty inmates,
over half of whom are men. They are
given fo<d and clothing and tbe sisters
maze them as comfortable as possible.
The home depends entirely for its support
upon tbe daily contribution* of thoae
whose attention is attraoted toward it.
These contributions are solicited
daily by the sisters at the
market and from door to door. They have
excited the interest of a number of good
people of all deuominations, wbo bavo ex
amined tbe work of tbe institution and
foui and it highly commendable, and tbe do
nations from this source are about sufficient
to maintain the home. Often, however,
these donations fail and it has occurred
more than once that tbe good sisters and
their charges have had only bread to eat
and sometimes not enough of that.
The old bishop's residence not being prop
erly fitted up for such a home tbe inmates
suffer many discomforts and inconveniences,
it was found Impossible to keep the build
ing comfortably warm during the recent
oold weather. Tbe budding now boa more
inmates than it can properly accommodate
and several deserving applicants are turned
away each week. T his is greatly regretted
by those iu charge, as their desire is to re
ceiveall who apply who are needy and de
serving and bave no other place to go.
The sister* have secured several lot* near
the Georgia infirmary and they desire to
erect there a building which will be better
suited to tbe work in which
thev are engaged and which
will bo sufficiently commodious to accom
modate at least 100 inmates. Their idea la,
if a sufficient amount ia secured by tbe
offerings of tbeir friends, to begin a build
ing at tha location named, and by erecting
one wing of the building at a time they
hope to secure after a while u building such
aa their need* require.
The charity is certainly amo*t deserving
one. "if it is praiseworthy to oare for
orphan children,” said a charitable lady, in
speaking of this subject yesterday, "how
much more deserving of praise must be
those who give their lives to attendance
upon old, sick and oftentimes disagreable
men and women."
It is to be hoped that the Llttl* Sisters of
the Boor will be successful in their effort*
to enlarge the scope of their charities.

AT THE COURTS.
Fred Jerguson Wants Damages for
Being Put off a Car.
The SB,OOO damage suit of Fred J. Jergu
son against tbe Savannah Street Railway
Company for being ejected from a Belt
Line car May 11 last, for refusing to pay
double fare, wns tried in tbe city court yes
terday. Jerguson, according to the state
ment of himself aud witnesses, boarded a
Belt car with two ladies, but it stopped at
the Tybee depot. The conductor promised
to transfer him to the next car, and Mr.
Jerguson took a walk around the street to
“stretch” himself.
When the car to which he was to be
transferred came along he boarded it with
the ladles, supposing tbe conductor of the
Tybee car had notified the other oonduotor
of the transfer. After ridiug a short dis
tance, however, the second couduc.or de
manded fare of Mr. Jerguson. He refused
and told the conductor of the transfer ar
rangement.
Tbe latter refused to reoognize this and
Insisted on coileo.lng another fare, and Mr.
Jerguson again refused to pay. The con
ductor then violently ejected him from the
car, aud tbe ladies, becoming frightened,
left without being forced. For these indig
nities and humiliation Mr. Jei guson felt he
was justified in asking for $2,000.
The dampen ■ s defense was that Mr.
Jerguson should have paid tbe extra fare
and then made a claim at the office for its
return. The conductor of the second car
was not supposed to know anything about
the transfer arrangement except from the
conductor of the Tybee car.
The jury retired at 1 o’clock, but had
failed to agree at a late hour last night.
The indications are favorable to a mistrial.
W. W. Osborne, Esq., represented Jergu

refused to either deny or affirm tbe story.
This leaves tbe committee of twenty-five
with only five men to find on the outside,
as Aldermen O’Brien, Charlton, Haines,
Carson, Mills and Dixon are very apt,under
present oiroumetanoee, to allow tbe use of
their nainee on Mayor UoDonough’s ticket
in behalf of the upholding of the mayor’s
Sunday policy.
A select few of Alderman Harmon’s
friends met last night and talked over alder
manic possibilities, but did nothing definite,
preferring to wait until tbe administration
ticket is put in the field. It is pretty safe,
however, aooordlng to leading Harmonitea,
to oount on Alderman Myers, Capt. Thomas
Horeven, Jr., Hugh M. Comer, Jr., Wylly
Gordon, Dr. William Duncan, Jobn Lyons,
W. H. Ray, Thomas Bowden and John F.
Lubs as being nine of tbe Harmon alder
manic candidates.
AN ERROR CORRECTED.
What the Mistaking of 0 for a 2
Caused.
Justice W. H. Patterson, who was super
intendent of the recent county election, re
quests the Mohnino News to correct an
error made by him in stating tbe number
of votes received by each of the oandldatee.
In copying off the returns Justice Patter
son mistook an 0 for a figure 2, causing him
to place Mr. W. F. Chaplin’s vote for
county commissi mer at 2,205, when the act
ual vote received by Mr. Chaplin, accord
ing to tbe returns as summed up by the
managers, was 2,005.
The mistake was not made in tbe returns,
but by Justice Fat ergon in making memo
randa of tbe results. Instead of receiving
the second highest vote for county com
missioner this place* Mr. Chaplin firth on
the list. This does not affect fils member
ship of the next board of county commis
sioners. however, as it still leaves him 92
vote* ahead of the candidate receiving the
next highest vote.
Justice Patterson requests those managers
and ilstkeepers, who have not yet drawn
their pay Tor the election, to call upon him
at once, as he has tbe money ready.

Savannah in Art.
Among the callers at the Morning News

of Chicago. These gentlemen contemplate
publishing a local art work—exhibiting the
best scenery of the city and surroundings,
similar to art works published by their
company of nearly all of the prominent

tbe country. This will be an elegant
souveuir of the city and it is to be hoped
that tbe representatives of tbe Parish com

will insure the early completion of tha
work. The gentlemen will cell upon some
of our citizen* to-day end their art under

"BEAU BRUMMELL’ BIG RUSH.
The Bale of Seats for Mansfield’s En
gagement the Largest of tbe treason.
The sale of seats for “Beau Brummell"
yesterday brought out the biggest rush of
the season at tbe theater ticket office. The
sale began at 9 o'clock. An hour and a half
before that there waa a line from the ticket
counter to the Bull street doors at Living
ston's.
When Agent Ebbs opened the diagram
the crush waa so great that It was with dif
ficulty tbe sale could be conducted. In
thirty minutes 300 seats had been sold, and
by 10:30 o’olook everything was sold except
tbs back rows in tbe dress cirole and the
baloony.
The front row seats were gobbled up six
at a time, and so with tbe second row aud
the choice seats in tbe parquet. At $1 50 a
seat tbe tale is an immense one and shows
the desire to see Mansfield. "Beau Brum
mell’' will afford a vivid illustration of Mr.
Mansfield’s creative skill. It is a wonderful
embodiment of character.
Tbe play has all the brilliancy and sparkle
of tbe old comedies. Its humor ia delicious,
and there ia a touch of pathos in tbe last act
which is most affecting.
Mr. Mansfield will bo supported by bis
well knowu stock company, bich includes
Miss Beatrioe Cameron and others who
were in the original cast. The quaint aud
picturesque ooetumee and soeuic effects will
be introduced.
The sale of seats for “Jane” on Thursday
night will begin this morni.ig. It ie not
often that two standard attraction* like
“Beau Brummell” and “Jane” come so close
together. Eaoh has its advantage, how
ever, and "Jane” will hardly prove a le3s
attraction than Mr. Mansfield's production
of bis celebrated play.
