Americus. Ga., March 23,-Americus ca
pitulated to-day to the ten companies of
the Second Regiment and the city was
turned over to the invading hosts. Owing
to washouts below the city, two special
trains carrying military and visitors to
the Albany Chautauqua could go no fur
ther, and the regiment spent the day
here. At the earnest request of a com
mittee of citizens. Col. C. M. Wylie or
dered a dress parade and inspection In
front of the city hall, and a large crowd
of spectators witnessed the beautifully
executed movements of the troops.
Americus entertained the visitors to the
best of her ability, and all enjoyed their
enforced stay here.
Considerable damage has been done to
the railroads in this section by the recent
freshet, while the damage done farm
lands Is enormous, and cannot be esti
mated. The low lands about Americus
are still flooded, and. boats sail up and
down the streets on the creek front.
Many small houses are surrounded by
water and have been abandoned.
One train reached the city to-day by
the Georgia and Alabama road,
coming from Savannah, while the Cen
tral got a train through from Macon, but
It could go no further. Schedules may be
resumed to-morrow.
ALBANY’S OIAITAIRIA.
Fourteen Military Companies Kept
Away by the Flood.
Albany, Ga.. March 23.—Governor’s day
at the Chautauqua proved a great disap
pointment. Owing to the heavy rains yes
terday and the night before, washouts on
every railroad leading out of the city
prevented fourteen of the military com
panies expected from arriving here.
The companies which did come were
the Brunswick Rifles, the Valdosta Vl
dettes and the Dawson Guards. The first
named companies were stopped by a
washout nine miles from the city, but
waded and swam Plneywoods creek and
got into the city in a badly bedraggled
condition.
The governor and quite a number of his
staff arrived last night.
The programme of the Chautauqua is
being carried out In spite of the bad
weather.
The parade took place this afternoon,
and was reviewed by the governor, after
which he delivered an address.
After the governor's address a prize
drill, for a gold medal offered by the
Chautauqua for the best drilled man, was
participated In by two men from each
company, and wae won by Sergt. A. J.
Scott of the Albany Guards.
There is some promise of the weather
clearing, and if so, the balance of the
programme will boa success.
Sam Jones, who delivers two lectures
Here on Saturday, and preaches the clos
ing sermon on Sunday, Is expected to
bring a tremendous crowd if they can
get here. The present programme is the
most expensive the Chautauqua has ever
arranged, and the bad weather is playing
havoc with the gate receipts.

ATLANTA’S UNION DEPOT SCHEME.
Central ami Southern Offer the City
f25.000.
Atlanta, Ga., March 23.—President Sam
uel Spencer of the Southern Railway Com
pany. and President Comer of the Central,
this afternoon submitted to the city coun
cil a written proposition offering to con
tribute 125,300 toward the building of a
viaduct over the tracks cf the two com
panies at Mitchell street.
According to the proposition, the plans
of the viaduct are to be acceptable to the
engineers of the railroad companies, and
made with a view to the building of anew
passenger depot at Mitchell street, where
the old East Tennessee passenger station
was located before that line gained ad
mittance to the present union depot. The
city is given until October to accept the
proposition, ami tin viaduct must be com
pleted by July. 1898.
The proposition is the outcome of the
agitation of the new passenger station
qnestien. A meeting of the railroad pres
idents and the city council committee was
to have been held here yesterday to dis
cuss the situation, but this conference had
to he declared off on account of the seri
ous illness of the wife of Mayor Collier,
who has been at deaht's door for a week.
The city council some weeks ago passed
a resolution, giving notice that unless tho
roads came to acme conclusion about the
depot matter within sixty days, the city
would proceed to condemn the property of
the Central and other roads for the purpose
of building anew bridge at the end of
Alabama street. The Central is etrongly
opposed to this, claiming that it would
do irreparable damage to it. and the South
ern also joined in the opposition. It is
claimed by President Spencer, who made
a statement to the council committee this
morning, and by President Comer also,
that the building of this Alabama street
bridge would seriously handicap the roads
In building their proposed union) passen
ger depot at Mitchell street. In fact, Pres
ident Spencer said that he was authorized
by President Comer to say that the Cen
tral would tight against the Alabama
street bridge if the city undertakes to
press it.
The Western and Atlantic road is block
ing the way to the new depot at Mitch
ell street, being unwilling to abandon
the present site, which belongs to the
state. In order to get the city Interested
in the Mitchell street location the 125,000
was offered.
What will be done, it is impossible to
tell. The public demands some change
from the present depot, but the roads are
so seriously divided, and the fact that the
state owns the present site and would
have to be a party to any trade, makes
the situation very complicated.
RAILROADS AND THE BOATS.
State Commission Orders Discrimi
nation Stopped.
'Atlanta, Ga., March 23.— The state rail
road commission to-day Issued an order
directing that the Queen and Crescent
boat line on the Chattahoochee river be
accorded the same terminal accommoda
tions along the river between Columbus
and lower points as the boats of the other
lines now plying on that stream.
The Queen and Crescent line was recent
ly put on the river by the merchants of
Columbus to afford competition with the
old lines, which are controlled by the
railroads. The Columbus merchants com
plained to the commission that the roads
were discriminating against their line
to kill it out, and the order of the com
mission Is to remedy this alleged evil.
The old line may appeal from the com
mission on the ground that it has no Juris
diction over the river traffic, which be
longs to the jurisdiction of the federal
government.

STEAMER HELPLESS AT SEA.
tu: \\ VKD LINER NIAGARA LOSES
HER REDDER.
Passenger* Bound From
Nassau to New York Put in an Anx
ious Week—No Clesv ns to How or
U hen the Accident Happened to
the Rudder—Officers Bu*peet I*
Mas Tampered With Before the
Left Nassau—The Steamer Towed to
Charleston.
Charleston. S. C.. March 23.—The Ward
line steamship Niagara, Capt. Cracker,
was towed to Charleston bar this morn
ing. She had lost her rudder and her
passing, rs had spent an anxious week
aboard of her at sea.
Aboard of her were fifty-two passengers,
most of whom were tourists bound from
Nassau to New York.
The ship left the former place at noon,
March 16. In addition to her passengers,
she carried a general cargo of sugar, to- i
bacco and hides. Her voyage north was
uneventful till last Thursday. Capt.
Cracker then suddenly discovered that
she failed to respond to her rudder, aa
investigation disclosed the rudder to be
bent and broken. Not the least clue
could be discovered as to when or how
the accident happened.
A Jury rudder was rigged up, and the
Niagara attempted to continue her voy
age, but without much success. Thurs
day night the vessel laid to, trying to keep
her head to a heavy sea that was running.
Friday morning the British steamer
Cairnisla, bound from Sapolo to Rotter
dam, was sighted and asked for aid. A
hawser was played out to the Niagara,
and a towing trip of 200 miles was begun.
The sea, too. was getting heavier, and
the first hawser soon parted, leaving the
Niagara in a perilous and hcdplesa condi
tion for several hours.
Her jury rudder was of very little ser
vice, and more than once she was caught
in the hollow of the big waves, rolling so
badly as to greatly excite the fears of her
passengers. Saturday another hawser
was passed to,her by the Cairnisla, and
this time the tope held. The two ships
dropped anchor off Charleston bar this
morning.
The Niagara will be towed into port to
morrow, when her passengers will be for
warded north by rail.
The pasesngers on the Niagara are all
very comfortably quarted aboard the ship
to-night. The officers of the ship con
tinue to protest that they have not the
least knowledge of how the accident to the
Niagara’s rudder occurerd. Some of them
expressed the belief that the gear had
been tampered with before the ship left
Nassau, but no cause for their opinion is
assigned.
The Niagara will remain here until an
ocean tug can be sent to tow her to New
York.

Carries the Nlail For a Cent a Year.
From the Sanford (Ky.) Interior Journal.
Charles Burton carries the mail daily,
except Sunday, between two towns twen
ty miles apart, receiving for the munifi
cent reward of 1 cent a year. It is neces
sary for him to travel forty miles a day,
or 12,320 miles during the year. The pay
ments on star routes are made quarterly,
and the question arises as to how Uncle
Sam is going to pay the quarter of a cent,
but the contractor will not likely sue if
the payments are postponed until the last
quarter, and then the government can for
ward the copper, which will be in full.
The worse part about the business is that
Mr. Burton has the contract for four
years at the same rate. The cause of the
remarkably low price for the contract is
that Burton was determined to have the
route over an enemy, who was also a
bidder, and besides he has stages and
horses which he has been using for years
for the purposes.

LAUNDERING
Requires certain things and
such conditions as cannot always be had.
Our best efforts are expended in giving
clean work, well starched, thoroughly
ironed and use such care as to reduce wear
and tear to a minimum. Still we are some
times through adverse conditions obliged
to send out work not up to our standard.
When this happens, return to us for re
laundering free of charge.

MORE BARNES BICYCLES COMING.
After a delay of two weeks or more, the
noted Barnes White Flyers are again
coming along. The Barnes Cycle Cos. are
fast recovering from the disastrous Are
of March 4, when between three and four
thousand White Flyers were destroyed.
R. D. & Wm. Lattimore received per
steamer La Grande Duchesse yesterday
a supply of 1896 and 1897 special and rac
ers, and on the first appearance of clear
weather you will note lots of White Fly
ers gilding along our streets.
R. D. & Wm. Lattimore are also supplied
with Remington road and racing wheels,
and an abundance of Eagles, besides Sax
on and Saratogas at $37.50, all guaranteed
for one year.
There has been such an active demand
for the wonderful Keating for both ladies
and gentlemen that the local stock has
been quickly exhausted, but Friday's
New York steamer will likely bring an
other supply, and many ladies and anxious
waiters also among the men. will be
harpy. The Keating is certainly a great
wheel, and people know it.
Guaranteed cheap wheels we have in
great abundance, and we have made It a
rule to have nothing but guaranteed bi
cycles. Every wheel in our stock is guar
anteed. and we are ready to take every
care of our customer that Is possible.
Our Bull street branch has samples of
all of our wheels. Call and inspect them.
