The Central to Put Out a Big
Issue of Trust Bonds.
THE SAVANNAH ANO WESTERN R. R.
A Meeting to be Held of Eight Komis
Which are to Constitute the One
System—Ollier Railroad News
of Importance.
The Telrgrapii'r correspondent at Sa
vannah sends this by wire:
Gen. E. P. Alexander is in New York on
unusually important business. He is in
conference with members of the Central syn
dicate in reference to the company putting
out a big issue of new trust bonds. Mr.
Hollins, pr sident of the Georgia company,
wants the issue to be $10,600,00). John
Inman thinks $5,000,000 is enough at present
According to trustworthy rumors there are
two factions in the syndicaie.
It will not be furprisinS if the issue is for
$10,000,001. On October 1st the Central ha
to meet $000,000 Bret mortgage 8 per cent
bonds of the Western Railroad of Alabama.
On January 9,1889, $20,000 of the Mobile ami
Girard second mortgage 8 per cents will
mature; October I, 1899, $1,171,000 Western
Railroad of Alabama second mortgage t
percents will lie due. In 1891 the Centra!’,
debentures $4,500,000, mature, and on Jan
uary 1, 1 s93, $>,01)0,000 ot the Central’s tri
partite 7 per cents wil! be due. The* niaki
a total of Ill,531,00)) to he met within tb
next five years. All of these maturing bond,
will be refunded at a iower rate of interest
The Central had tio trouble iu floating tin
issue of s5,000,000 one year ago atfiper cent
Gn $20:1,100 the Central will save 3 per cent
interest in refunding and on the 7’s 2 pet
cent will he saved. “This may go to dive
denis to stockholder',’’ remarked a railSoa-
man to day. If the issue decided upon it
$10,000,000 it is unlikely that more that
half of that amount will be placed for t
year or two yet.
TRE SAVANNAH AND WESTERN.
To-morrow night A. L. I-awton, Jr., of till
g e ueral counsel of the Central, and Ed
Workman, Genera-' Alexander's secretary,
will leave in the “Georgia” for a trip t.
Americus, < olumbus, Eitfaula and Opelika
At the e places they will attend meetings o
stockholders of the eight roads which are h
be united into one system, to be known a'
the Savannah and Western Railway Com
pany. Tne roads going into the consulidu
tion are the Columbus and Rome, tin
Eufaula and Hast Alabama, the Kufaula anil
Clayton, aud the Columbus and West
ern, the East Alabama Railway
Company, the iluena Vista nnd Kiln
viiie, the Savannah aud Coiuuibus and the
Savannah and Western. Two months ag
tiie consolidation was determined upon by
the directors of the several companies amt
the stock hoiuers meetings are merely to
ratify the action of the director;. The capi
tal stock cl the Savannah and Western will
b • $5,000,000, divided into 60,000 shares ol
$109 each. General Alexander will not be
at the meetings. He will be president of the
company aud Mr. Workman will be secre-
’/lie Central paid P. W. Meldrin and his
associates $1000 for the name Srvannah and
Western with its valuable charter and fran
chises. No road in the Slate has such a
valuable charter and it is for the wide pow
ers containing therein that the consolidated
lines will be operated under the name of the
8avannah and Western. Fire millions of
trust bonds will probably be issued on the
'Savannah and Western to meet maturing
obligations of some of the lines in it and to
build the Edea and Americus branch When
this connection is completed the Savannah
and Western wilt be the trunk line to the
West.
OTHER RAILROADS IN GEORGIA.
The Railroad Record says: Work ou the
new railroads in Georgia is being pushed
with vigor. This is true of the Atlauta and
Florida, which is in operation from Atlanta
to below Culloden, and will soon be through
to Fort Valley. The Chattanooga, Rome
and Columbus is through from Chattanooga
to Carrollton, Ga., where it connects with
the Georgia Ceutral system. Col. Han Cal
lahan has the Home and Decatur road about
finished. Col, Macben is pushing the
Covington and Macon well on beyond
Madison- towards Athens. The Macon
and Southern is ready for the atee|
raiis to Valdosta. The Columbus and Flor
ida is at work. President Fry has his engi
neers iu the field surveying the route fur the
Atlanta, Atlantic and Western, from Atlanta
to Savannah. The Central of Georgia is at
work on its 190 miles liuk from Kdeu to
ward Colnmbu", which will give it an air
line west, via Birmingham. The Marietta
aud North Georgia is doing an immense
amount of work, eadng its grades, ahanging
line, and getting ready for the grand change
from narrow to standard gauge, with GO-
pound aleel rail, a large quantity of which is
already on the ground. Gther enterprises
are in progress, all making Georgia a iurely
element in railaoad construction.
OTHER RAILROAD*.
Three thousand, four hundred miles of
stew railroad track was built in the United
States the first six months of this year, of
which 1,615 miles was in the South. The
greatest mileage was California—100. The
next Georgia with 300. The smallest Mas

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
Message of the President In Transmitting
the Report of the Comuilesitm.
Washington, July 23. -The President
to-day sent to Congresa the following mes
sage: To the Congress of the United States
—Pursuant to the second section of chapter
twenty-seven of the laws of 1883, entitled
“An act to regulate and improve the civil
service of the United States,” I herewith
transmit the fourth report of the United
States Civil Service Commission, covering
the period between the sixteenth day of
January, 1886, and the firstdayof July, 1887.
While this report has special reference to
the operations of the commission during the
period above mentioned, it contains, with its
accompanying appendices, much informa
tion concerning the inception of civil ser
vice reform snd its growth and progress,
which cannot foil to lie interesting
and instructive to sit who desire
improvement in administrative methods-
Dnring the time covered by the report fif
teen thousand eight hundred and fifty-two
penons were examined for admission into
the classified civil service of the government
in all its branches, oi whom ten thousand
•even hundred and forty-six passed exami
nation and five thousand one hundred and
aix failed. Of those who passed examine-
nation, two thousand nine hundred and sev-
•ntf-eeven were applicants for admiesion
-nto lhe departmental service at Washing
ton ; twenty-five hundred and forty-seven
were examined for admission into the cus
toms service, and five thousand two hundred
and twenty-two for admission into the postal
service. During the same period five hun
dred and forty appointments were made
from the eligible lists to the departmental
service, six hundred and forty-one to the
custems service and Ihit-e thousand two
hundred and fifty-four to the postal service.
Concerning separations from the classified
service, the report only informs us of auch
as have occurred among employes in the
public seivice who had been appointed from
the eligible lists under the civil service
r lies. When these rules took effect they
•lid not apply to persons then in the service,
comprising a full complement of employes
who obtained their positions independently
nt the new law. The commission lias no
record of separations in this numerous class
md the discrepancy apparent in the report
between the uumher ot appointments made
in the respective brandies of the service
from the lists of the commission and the
small number of separations mentioned is,
to a great extent, accounted for by vacan-
ies of which no report was made to the
ommlssion, occurring among those who
held their places without examination and
•ertifieation, which vacancies were filled by
ipiiointinent from the eligible list.
in tiie departmental service there oc-
•urreil, between the 16th day of January,
1886, and the 10rh of June, 18';7, amongem
iloyes appointed from the eligible fists un.
ler the civil service rules, seventeen re»
novais, thirty-six resignations and five
leaths. This does n t include fourteen sep-
irations in the grade of special pension ex-
itniuers, four by remqval, five by resignation
i.-id five by death. In the classified customs
mil postal service the number of separations
im ng those who received absolute appoint-
uents under the civil service rules are given
tiie period between the 1st day of Jann-
y, 8-6, and the 13th day of June, 1887.
It appears that such separations in the
ust-mis service for the time mentioned em-
raced twenty-one removals, five deaths and
igliteen resignations, anil in the postal ser
ine 256 removals, twenty three deaths and
9 resignations.
More than » year has pa»ed tin.ic the ex-
rutiou of the petimi covered by the report
the commission, and within the time
hich has tnus elapsed many important
hanges have taken place iu futherauce of
eforni in our civil s rvice rales, and the reg-
iations governing the execution of the law
pen the subject hare been completely re-
odeled ill such a manner as to render the
iforceinent of the statute more effective
ud to greatly increase ilk usefulness.
Among other things, the scope of examina-
ion prescribed for those who seek to enter
he classified service has been better defined
md made more pra tic il. The number of
lines to he certified from the eligible lists
appointing oflieers, from which selection
made, has been reduced from four to three;
he maximum limitation of the age of
■ersons seeking entrance to the classified
-ervice to forty-five jears has been changed
md reasonable provision has been made for
h : transfer of employes from one depart-
uent to another in proper cases. A plan
fas been dev sed providing for the examina-
ion of applicants for promotion iu the ser-
■ice, which, wiien in full operation, will
liiniimte nil chance for favoritism in thead-
-'-uiceiiH-iit of employes by making promo
tion a reward of merit and laithful discharge
duties.
Until within a few weeks there was no
tiiifurm classification of employes in the
liffereut executive departments of the gov-
rimient. As a result of this condition, in
nine of the departments positions could be
ibtained without a civil service'examina-
tion, because they were not within the classi
fication ot such department, while in oilier
departments examination and certification
were necessary to obtain positions of tiie
same grade, because such positions were em
braced in the classified service, applicable
i those departments.
The exception of laborers, watchmen and
messengers tram examination mid classifica
tion gave opportunity, in the absence of any
ruie guarding against it, tor employment,
free from civil service restrictions, of per
sons under these designations who were im
mediately detailed to do clerical work. All
this has keen obviated by application to nil
departments of extended nml uniform classi
fication, embracing the grades of employes
uot heretofore included nnd by adoption of
a rale prohibiting detail of lnhcrers, watch
men und messengers to clerical duty.
The path of civil service reform has not at
all times becu pleasant nor easy. The scope
and purpose of the reform have been much
misapprehended, and this has not only
given rise to strong opposition, but has leil
to its invocation hv its friends to compass
objects uot in the least related to it. Tnus,
mrtisans of the patronage system
mve naturally condemned it. Those
who do not understand its meaning
either mistrust it, or, when disappointed be
cause in it* present stage it is not applied to
every real or imaginary ill, accuse those
charged witli its enforcement with faithless
ness to civil service reform. Its importance
has frequently been underestimated nnd the
support of good men has thus been lost by
their lack of interest in its success. Besides
all these difficulties those responsible for the
administration of the government in its ex
ecutive branches have been and still are
annoyed and irritated by the disloyalty to
the service and iusolence o( employes 'who
remain in place as beneficiaries and relicB
and reminders of the vicious system of ap-
■ointment which civil service reform was
ntended to displace. And yet these aie but
incidents of the advance movement, which
is radical and far reaching.
The people are, notwithstanding, to be
congratulated upon the progresi which has
been made, and upon the firm, practical and
sensible foundation upon which this reform
now ruts. With a continuation of the in
telligent fidelity which has heretofore
characterised the work of the commission,
with continuation and increase of the favor
and liberality which have lately been
evinced by Congress in the proper equip
ment of the commission for its work; with
a firm hut conservative and reasonable sup
port of the reform by all ita friends and
with the disappearance of the opposition,
which must inevitably fallow iu better un
derstanding, the execution ot the civil ser
vice law cannot fail to ultimately answer the
hopes iu which it had its origin.

1 A ROTTEN CITY.
San Francisco Grand Jury
Paints tiie Town Black,
BOSSED BY THIEVES ANO THUGS.
Criminals, Combined in n Longue Offen
sive nml Defensive, Controlling Poll,
ties—A Heathen Soilom with-
lu a Christian CliJ.
San Francisco, July 24.—A sensation has
been created by the final report of the grand
jury of the county and city of San Fran
cisco. The jury was composed of nineteen
representative men of the city, and they had
been in session near seven weeks. Most of
the departments of the city government the
jury criticised severely. Speaking of crime
the report says: “We think ourselves justi
fied in asserting that in this city crime is
organized for purposes offensive and defen
sive, and has its leaders and abettors; our
elections, primarily and finally, are con
trolled to a great extent by 1,200 to 1,600
members of the criminal element, leagued
together, anil rendering ‘quid pro quo,
having so-called pulls ou men in authority
aud others influential with those having
power. Matters have reached such a con
dition here tha tc openly offend the di
rectory of the criminal element seems to
invite complete political ostracism. Reci
procity exists between criminals, prosti
tutes, gamblers and bossism. The police
men seem not to meet the requirements of
the situation.”
Of theChnese quarters the report says;
This San Francis:o Sodom, with all its loith-
some features, has become so familiar that it
has eeaseu to inspire horror among our citi
zens. Only strangers realize the hiaeousnes3
and filthiness of its slums. It is vain to
point out the disgrace of having sack a foul
cancer in the very heart of this great
metropolis. This has been done here for
more than a quarter of a century, and still
the evil spreads. Its gambling dens, its
brothels and its opium joints flounsh in spite
of our police, and its inhabitants live in foul
kennels which stifle visitors with their un
bearable stench.
MR. CARLISLE'S LETTER.
TARIFF IN THE SENATE.
Republicans Inclined to Bring Forward No
Hill of Their Own This Session.
WusniNOTON, July 24.—There was a full
meeting of the Senate finance committee this
morning and an hour was devoted to in
formal discussion of tiie line of actiou in
regard to the tariff. Nothing was deter
mined, but at the time of adjournment there
was an understanding that the Republican
majority of the committee would get together
and see if agreement could he reached ia re
spect to the measure to be submitted as a
substitute for the Mills bill. If successful,
this measure is likely to he laid be'ore the
Republican caucus, and, when shaped to
meet any conflicting views which may be de
veloped there, it will be laid before the
Democrats of the finance committee, and by
them before the Democratic caucus for con
sideration of a line of policy on their part.
With so many elements of uncertainty, no
one feels like venturing a guess as to the
kind of measure, if any, which may be sub
mitted, or the length of the session. But it
is expected that the present week will deter
mine pretty clearly the course of future
events.
The Republican members of the committee
remained in conference nearly an hours after
their Democratic colleagues withdrew, and
during the afternoon there were frequent
priva.e conferences wilh other Republican
Senators and with Republican members of
tiie House. As a result, the opinion in gain
ing headway that there will he no report of
a tariff bill at this session, hut that the sut>.
committee will continue its inquiry during
recess. Should the Republicans adop this
course the final adjournment of the session
may be expected within three weeks.
It will be proposed that the sub-committee
hear arguments by representatives of labor,
agriculture and manufactures during recess
and frame a bill fixed on a fair basis of taxa
tion and to be reported to the Senate on the
firstdayof the next session. It contemplates
contemplates fixing in the resolution the
minimum of reduction of revenue which the
committee shall aim to secure, as w-ell as
making the measure a special order with ex
clusive right of way iiiitii it shall be per
fected nnd passed by the Senate.
THE EAST TENNESSEE.
THE GORDON KILLING.
The Particulars of the Affair as Furnished
hr the Conductor.
Sunday’s Telegraph contained a brief
account of the killing, on Saturday mim
ing, of a negro at Gordon by a brakeman
on a freight train. It is understood that
the coroner’s jury gave it as their opinion
that the deed was murder, and implicated
the entire crew of the train. The commit
ment t ial took place at Irwinton yester
day, but the result was not learned.
The Savannah News of yesterday fur
nishes the following particulars of the
affair:
Conductor DeGraflenreid, who was in
charge of the Central railroad way freight
train No. 128, whose crew, it was reported,
beat a negro to death at Gordon Saturday
morning, informed a Morning News re
porter last night that only one man of the
crew did the beating, and that he has made
his escape. Ho stated that when the train
reached Gordon early Saturday morning,
the negro cause to him and tried to get a
free ride, claiming lo be a gang hand. The
conductor refused him, ai it was strictly
against orders.
Tim negro went to the rear of the train
and hid himself in an open box car. Con
ductor DeGraflenreid was informed of it
and detailed Ira Crutchfield and George
Allen, two brakeman. to find the negro and
put him oil. Allen was the first to dis
cover him. He ordered the negro to get
out, and Conductor DeGraffenreid is under
the impression that the negro must have
refused 10 obey, and Allen lilt him over
the head several times 'and daagged him
out of the car.
Engineer Urquhart, who was the only
eye witness to the deed except Allen, the
brakeman, told Allen not to strike the
negro, and Alien left him aud returned to
the train. When the train pulled away
from Gordon Conductor DeGraflenreid
said that tie saw the negro walking up the
track behind the train, as if trying to find
another open car in which to hideliimeclf.
When the train re-clied Tennille the con
ductor received a telegram from Superin
tendent liege that the negro whom Allen
beat at Gordon was dead. As soon as Alien
heard ok it, he left the train and has not
since been heard of. None of the other
men were engaged in the fracus, and they
remained on the train until it reached Sa
vannah.
Conductor DeGraflenreid is confident
that Allen didn’t intend to kill the negro.
Allen, lie said, has been in the employ of
the Central road for a year. He was for
merly a sailor, and spoke fluently three
different languages. Jle ia about 27 years
old.
J. M. Norman, master of train service,
icceived a telegram lsst night that war
rants had been issued for Allen. An extra
to be set of men were sent out last night on Con
ductor DeGraffenreid’s train, to take
charge of it in case he and his crew are
arrested.
The negro was not identified at a late
hour yesterday, and it was understood
that after he had been held twenty-four
hours without being identified and his body
would be sent to the medical college at
Atlanta.
Terminal Directors Still Consiilering the
Proposed Sale.
New York, July 24.—Although the East
Tennessee directors meeting was postponed
from last Thursday until to-day, it turns out
that no meeting was called and no notice
served for any meeting in the near future.
President Thomas says that no meeting has
been held, but refuses to make any further
statement.
The Richmond Terminal directors met this
evening and spent an hour in considering
the proposed sale of the East Tennessee
preferred stock held by the company. After
the meeting the directors refused to speak
about the business transacted, except to
state that a committee of three hud been ap.
pointed to confer with President Kimbail, of
the Norfolk and Western on the matter.
Another meeting will he held Thursday to
receive the report of the committee, which

Counterfeiters Arrested.
Pittsburg, .Inly 23.—Two dangerous
counterfeiters weie arrested this afternoon
while attempting to swindle an old man.
They had ia their possession $45,006 in
specie and greenbacks and a large number
of di.s for quarters and half dollars. The
"queer shovera” arc straugers here, hut it is
thought that they belong to a gang that has
recently been flooding the country with
counterfeit money. They are both young
men, apparently not over twenty-five years
of age, and were well dressed. One of them
offered Detective Coveson, the arresting offi-
cer, $1,000 to let him' go.
The old a:aa who -.vas in their clutches
was also arrested, nnd it is expected that he
will tell an interesting story.
Another Refunding Scheme.
Warrington, January 24.—Senator Sher
man from the Anauve committee, to-day re-
orted favorably an amendment proposed
y Senator Spooner to the sundry civil hill
. roviding for the retuuding of the direct tax
paid by the several states anil territories
under the act of August 5,1861, and for the
remission of all moneys still due to the
United States od account of this tax. This
amendment is substantially identical with
the bill for the refunding of the direct tax
which caused a prolonged dead-lock, in the
House this session.
