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. DAM BREAKS AT JUNIPER. An Area. Two Milen Long and a Mile Wide Under Water. Columbus.

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. CITY BREVITIES. Elder A. B. Sims of the Primitive Bap. tist church will preach at Yonge’s hall to night. Charles H.

Easom put his hand to his hip as if to draw a weapon. Mr. Wilson asked him if he had a pistol. He replied that he had not. With a purling slap Mr. Wilson turned to go Into the house when a scream from ills wife and an outcry from the new clerk apprised him that something was wrong. Turning hastily he saw Easom with a pistol pointed towards him. which, according to the statements of the onlook ers. he had already snapped. Mr. Wilson advanced on Easom, who retired. Mr. Wilson said he fhought Easom had left the city, but day before yesterday he learned differently and swore out the war rant. Easom gave bond and the grand jury will consider the matter to-day.

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. —The pope has been smitten with the curfew bell idea, and when the bell rings every priest in Rome must hie him to his bed.
