A foul and unprovoked .murder wits
committed on the Macon and Dublin
train that left Macon Wednesday af
ternoon loaded vvlUt the visitors who
came to Macon to a>ttem] the Populist
rally on Wednesday.
Before leaving Macon a largo portion
of the excursionists, both white and’
black, got gjrunk and us noon as the
train pulled out from the depot they
began to raise a general row and soon
became so boisterous that the conduc
tor found It necessary to call to . his
assistance Mr. J. K. Going of Dan
ville, who was on the train. Mr. Going
did all he could to quiet the boisterous
crowd, and finally he and the <
ductor got all quiet except a few
drunken negroes. Mr. Going told the
negroes they must keep quiet, where
upon Alex Rosier, who was the prin
cipal disturber, pulled his pistol hint
shot Mr. Going In the abdomiual cav
ity, The negro immediately Jumped
from the train and a number of the
passenger* who witnessed the cow
ardly deed fired at him, about thirty
shots being fired, none of which is
thought to have taken efTect. Rosier,
however, returned the fire and shot an
unknown negro In the knee. The train
was stopped and the passengers pur
sued Rosier for the purpose of lynching
him, but he got away.
•Mr. Gdnf was taken from the train
at Danville Mid physicians sent for,
but ho did not Improve Dr. tub- m
Of Macon, the road's physician, was
sent for and he left for Danville yester
day morning on a special train. Dr.
Gibson found Mr. Going In a. 0rttic.1l
condition, but did all that was possible
to do foi him. Dr. Gibson Is unable at
present 4o tell the exact nature of the
wound, but Is < the opinion that the
shot will prove fatal.
The shooting occurred at Dry
Branch, In Llibb county, and Sheriff
Wes toot* will make every effort to
catch the murderous negro, who is still
at Urge.
{Rosier bears the name of being a
desperate, mean negro and should he
fall Into the hand s of Mr. Going’s
friends he wfll fare badly.

THE JUNIOR

Tho Central Railroad Will Be Reor

Them.
OUTLOOK OF SOUTHWESTERN
Tit* ll.OOfl Share* la ss Invillmrut <
the SoHthern Hallway Company—
Talk *f Mouthw*stora's Debt
Tut on the Central.
The new reorganization plan of the
Central railroad, no far as it baa been
announced, is still the subject of dis
cussion among all those interested In
the road’s securities or the future of
the property, says the Savannah Morn
ing News. '
Kvery now and then some new feat
ure of It Is brought out and discussed
pro and con. There 1b no doubt In the
minds of any one now that one
of the main objects of the plan was <to
do all that could’ be done for the
Junior securities. Under the circum
stances this waa one of Che necessities,
especially so far as the Block* is'con
cerned, as the majority stock Is In the
hands of those who wiH be chiefly In
strumental In reorganizing the prop
erty. Drexel, Morgan & Co., whose to-
tdrest In the Southern (Railway Com
pany Is so large, are not going to al
low that stock to suffer beyond what tit
Is compelled.
T^e debentures were of more im
portance to people in this section than
to those In Now York, but Receiver
Comer was on hand to-look after the
Interests of Southern security holders
who had suffered moat in the road’s
failure, and the debentures were
placed as high In the scalevos possible
next to tho mortgage indebtedness.
Sloes the plan 'ihh been looked on
in this light the road's securities have
had a decided upwurvl tendency. The
market in all classes of the junior se
curities has been on the upward move,
and it Is believed as file plan develops
the upward tendency will toe still more
marked. There has been some talk
about It toeing unjust to the stockhold
ers of the Central railroad to make
that road assume a $2,000,000 Indebted
ness which 'belongs to the Sauthfwest-
ern railroad under the Judgment <>f fhe
court. Just -why this was done has not
yet* been nude folly clear, but it Is
believed that those who had the mat
ter In charge took every detail into
consideration and did not act imau-
visedly in any Instailce.
The stockholders at nil events* U
seem:*, will get more than they hau
hoped. Tho Sbuthwestern will undoubt
edly earn something more than its rent
al charges are to be under the plan.
These charges will bo $250,000, while
under the present lease they are $350,-
000. The Southwestern rend has earned
up to April 1 of thl» yesr, In Just nine
nrontlis. $350,000, which is more than Its
present rental for the entire year.,. If
the HurpluM earnings above the amount
required tb pay the rental umler..,the
new plan are turned Into the general
earnings of the Central every year, they
will go a long way toward paying In
terest on other securities, and in .this
way tho stockholders will no doubt be
ns much or more benefited than if
sinne other arrangement lind been
made. ,
There has been some tnlk as to why
the Augusta And Savannah railroad,
which does not owe a dollar, was given
only 5 per cent, on il« stock, while tho
Southwestern, which had n large ..tjetot
on hand, was relieved of that <l«-l>t 'and
given 5 per cent, ns well. Sbmo who do
not undera.nnd the situation look upon
this as slightly unjust to ih.* Augusta
and Savannah railroad. The difference,
however. Ilea In the earning power of
the two properties. The reorganization
plan had to be based on tho earning
power of the properties concerned. The
Southwestern is capitalized nt about
$15,000 p**r mile, while, the Augusta and
Havrnnah Is capitalized at about $20,000.
Not bnly tilts, but «th© building of the
Spilth'Bound railroad, which is oper
ated In connection with the Port Royal
and Augusta, between Savannah and
Augusta, has diverted much of the bu»-
lnc*M which formerly went by the Au-
gUMta nnd Savannah. In these atnl oth
er ways the earning power t>f the prop
erty, comparatively speaking, has been
decreased and la Ices than that of the
Southwestern.

the Georgia Central has been In on-
