Business Men,
THE PROPER THING TO DO.
Jlallroad People Talking About the
Coming Reorganisation of the
Central—Rattling* on
Railway Lines.
Those in possession of Information
ntfimi that the winter schedules of the
Southern Kailway and Florida will bo
more favorable to Macon than those
rim In years. Undoubtedly the quick
est time ever run will be in effect.
The hours of arrival and departure
will be more seasonable for Macon.
This means a great deal, livery loco
motive and car is being put through the
shops and overhauled as rapidly as
possible. This is being done partially
to change the equipment so as to bear
the name of the ••Southern” instead
of the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia, and particularly because ot
the desire of the officers of the great
coriioration that the winter season
shall begin with everything looking
“spick and span.” When ihc work is
completed no railway In the country
cam boast of liner equipment which,
coupled with the excellent condition of
the roadbed, insures unequaled time
and every comfort of modern railway
travel.
It is the poTIcy of the Southern Hall
way Company to give the finest facil
ities possible for the accommodation
of Uiuriat business and at the same
time to see that the local patrons of
the lines do not suffer.
KATTLINGS ALONG THE ROAD
BED.
Messrs. J. C. Blain and J. J. Farns
worth, two of the Southern's most af
fable and popular officials, aro In town
on a several days’ business trip.
The Georgia train got behind yes*
terday. It was due here at 11 n.rn.,
and came in thirty minutes behind
time.
That little piece of gossip published
ill the Telegraph last week about, the
probable scoop of tho Central by the
Southern has got railroad nien to talk
ing. l'on can keep your eye skinned
for developments.
REORGANIZATION IS SLOW.
Receiver H. M. Comer of the Central
railroad returned yesterday morning from
New York city, saya the Savannah Morn
ing News, whore he has been for the last
two weeks.
Mr. Comer, when seen, said there was
Very little that could be said at present
about the plan of reorganlaatlon of tho
Central's properties. He said he had
seen the parlies who were interesting
themselves in the plan and that they had
taken it up and begun work on It again
•The !s:t jf tho** who fh» rifv fnr
the' summer, lie said, had Just returned
last week, and It was not until then that
the work could be taken up^ ^
There, have beer, no materia, c&anges,
Mr. Comer said, and he was of the opin
ion that the plan would work out sub
stantially as It has already been outlined.
Bo far as he could see, there was no rea
son whatever for any of the reports that
have been in circulation with regard to
difficulties with which the plan was meet
ing and -.he llkellnood that R would meet
.with strong opposition.
H • was of the opinion that the details
of the plan would be announced to the
security holders within the next few
week* but It Is undetermined as yet as
to what time the sale of the property will
take place. Mr. Comer said there was no
ground for any of the report* that the
Central railroad would be merged Into the
Southern Railway Componys propertcs.
l.ut while that company will hold a ma
jority of the stock, the road will be op
erated Independently.
Mr. .Comer sold that to all appearance*
tu, nest Is rapidly picking up In Netv
York everybody Is looking brighter and
in,'cheerful, and there seems io be more
confidence all round.

MAT BE A LYNCHING.
Bii-mtngtia-m, Oct. 9.—A special to
the Age-Herald from Greensboro says:
Robert Smith, a negro lad. 18 ymr., old,
was dtscovererd under Bite bed of a
daughter of J .A. Marlin, a prominent
farmer.
The girl gave an alarm and the boy
fled. On learning that he was being
pursued he gave himself up to the no.., .
Ilf. He rtld he wtas merely listening
to the girl and companion talk, but
did hot know what else he might have
been tempted to do- There is much

Mad Race of Miners In a Burning Shaft
—Several Were Lost.
Shamokin, Penn., Oct. 9.—While car
penters were alt work repairing the
timber lu the Luke FMler abaft last
night, a mlneT nimed Irwin Buffing
ton, Ignited five wood and a fierce lire
ensued. The carpenters gave an alarm
and seventy miners commenced a race
for life, as the mine ms filling with
smoke.
Through a shaft in a course of con
struction, itihey were hoisted to the sur
face In an icon bucket, a great crowd
cheering os the men reached the mouth
of the pit.
During the rescue the flames came
up the -air course and burned the fan
house, and the fire department wua
called to save It. Superintendent Mor
ris Williams and .Mine Inspector Ki
wi rM Brennom heroically entered the
burning mine to seek for the lost or
exhausted men.
Irvin Buffington was found dead this
morning. It Is known for a certainty
that George Rrown, a well-known local
poUtlatin; John Gierse. a laborer; An
thony Roberts, a driver boy, and Mi
chael Buzofskie, a laborer, are fit'll! in
the mine. Heroic efforts are being made
to rescue them, 'Without, (however,
much hope of success. The oolllery is
operated by the Mineral Mine and Rail
road Company, employing o\*er 800 men
and boys.
Buffington's lamp started the fire and
his detrth nils caused by his efforts
to notify workmen in the mines of
tlheir danger. Everybody was warned,
but the four named as missing, became
oonfttsed and lost their way in the
smoke. Buffington gave out thirty
feet from 'the air dhaft. There his
body was found.
A consultation was held by the offi
cials this morning and the advisability
of trying to rescue the enclosed men
were discussed. It was decided, how
ever, that the effort would be worse
than useless, as It would certainly re
sult In the death of some of the resu-
The ooal run portion of the Fffiler
workings Is connected with 'the Gimlet
and Hickory Itidge collieries, and as a
result they are not working. One thou
sand men were employed at the Luke
Ffdler colliery and another thousand
were employed at the Gimlet and
Hickory Ridge collieries. The men
will be Idle for many 'months.
The latest plan adopted by the offi
cials to quench the fire is- 'by pump
ing all available water into the mine
and thus, drowning ft out. This, how
ever, will bake months to accomplish,
and It is safe to say th:#t this valuable
mine is practically ruined, entailing a
loss of several hundred thousand dol
lars.
TILLMAN IS DETERMINED.
He Says He Means to Simply Enforce
the Dispensary Law.
Columbia, S. C., Oct. Governor
Tillman declared In an interview today
that "constables will go to work and
search all places where they have rea
son to know that l.quors are kept, and
that private residences will not be ex
empt when they are made depots for
the storage of whisky.”
*.iys the town people have noth
ing to sain and cveryUung to lose by
their opposition to the enforcement of
the dispensary law. lu case mayors

municipalities will receive no share of

civil justices nro threatened willi dc-
■•Jinlhi ism nrtlnn they <|n their duty,
and If Juries fail to eonvlct, a change

Tile governor concluded by savins:
"Tlie law bus come to stay, and the
sooner that fact is recognized by the
whisky men and those who have op
posed It. the better It will be for all
concerned."
No resistance will be tolerated, he
says, for lie has 2,000 men he can con

'Atlanta, Oct. 9.—(Special.)—Chair
man Clay has Issued t'he following call
for a meeting of the Democratic exec
utive committee. It Is for the purpose
of taking some action in regard to reg
istration for the congressional elec
tions.
Two years ago registration did not
apply In 'the Tenitlh, 'While It did in other
districts. This year there must be uni
form action In tail the districts.
Either Judge Speer's opinion as then
rendered for the Ten'lh hat registra
tion is not neofastiTy applies to till dis
tricts. or else registration Is necessary
In all.
'Here Is the call:
“Atlanta, Ga.. Oct. 8.—The state ex
ecutive and central campaign commit
tees are hereby- called to meet In At
lanta on Saturday, the 13th tnst., u
o'clock a. m., at the Kimball blouse
All Democratic nominees for .the Flf-
ty-founlh congress from Georgia are
most earnestly requested to meet with
Business of lmpoor-lance to con
gressmen and the Democratic party to
be considered.
“A. S. Clay.
Chairman. State Democratic Execu
tive Committee."
Up to this afternoon, notice of con
test In twenty-seven counties and two
senatorial districts had been received
at the executive department. Four
teen contests were handed In in « sin
gle batch today by W. H. Knell, an
Atlanta lawj-er who seems to be mo
nopolizing the clientage of the Populist
candidates.
Today’s sensational contest Is 1n the
Thirty-fourth district, composed of
Gwlnetfe. DeKialb and Henry counties.
O. H. Bland 13 tlhe Democrat who was
declared elected. A. M. Baxter, the
Populist, contests.
The counties In which contests were
filed today—all by defeated Populists—
are Pierce, Morgan, Appling. Clay.
Hancock. Quitman, Talbot, Walton,
Clark. Elbert, Troup, Hart, Butts and
Paulding.
There Is a chance that these contests
will play an Important ipart 1n the
senatorial election. A Democratic
caucus, will, of course, defeat the Pop
ulist Influence 1n elections, but the fact
that 4t will undoubtedly be to the ln-
teres of some and ho tlhe disadvan
tage of oher candidate* to keep un
friendly Democrats who are Involved
tn a contest for their seats, out of the
caucus, there Is a ohance that, In the
scramble for place, Democratic scats
will be eacrofloed.
Berore the contests tare all filed me
list will very probably go up to forty
or may 'be more.
