N*w Yoax, March 8.—The name ot
the recognised Richmond Terminal
Company has been ohanged again and
new company will be ealled the
nthern Railway Company.
A Wall atrept paper to-day pub
lishes the following Information about
the plan of reorganisation:
“Richmond Terminal first mortgage
4s have been Inoreased from $213,500,-
000 to $220,000,000 and the common
stoalc decreased from $150,000,000 to
$140,000,000. The uew Income bonds
have beeu increased $2,500,000 to $05,-
000,000 with the new preferred stock
at $76,000,000 as at first.
“The total issue of securities, how
ever, on the whole system Is unchang
ed—$500,000,000. Of the first mortgage
4s, about $150,000,000 of them will be
Issued In exohange ;for underlying
securities that stand out In paying off
the floating debts, etc. This will leave
In the treasury of the reorganized sys
tem, which will be called the Southern
Railway Company, $19,000,000 of the
first 4s for improvements,' new equip
ments, etc. About $12,000,000 of the
oommon stock will also be held In the
treasury.” •
It will be observed therefore that
after the various systems shall be con
solidated into one of 8,800 miles and
all the floating Indebtedness is liqui
dated, and from $8,000,000 to $5,000,000
cash turned over to the new company
by the bankers syndicate (as It Is esti
mated will be the oase), the Southern
Railway Company will begin Its
oareor with from three to five mil
lions cash, $19,000,000,000 first raort
gage 4s and about $12,000,000 oommon
stock, In Its treasury. A promlrient
member of thu reorganization commits-
tec says that the efTort to form a bank
ers’. syndicate was not begun until
Saturday, last and that six-sevenths of
the whole amount has been secured.
The lodging house in Cook’s wagon-
yard Is getting to be a veritable Jonah
for persons seeking shelter beneath
Its roof for a night’s repose. Not a
4lnglc week, for the last month has
passed without some person being rob
bed there, and though the thieves have
shown great boldness in committing
the crimes, they have always, so far,
managed to keep out of the reach of
the law’s long arm.
Friday night another was added to
the already long list of misdeeds com
mitted within the preoinots of the
Cook wagon yard, and Mr. J. T. Clem
ons, of Worth county, suffered from
the thieving propensity of a light fin
gered Negro.
Hr. Clemons came Into the city Fri
day afternoon, and, after attending to
some business and eating supper, went
over Into Fast Albany, where lie took
In the Indian show. After the per
formance he, with several companions,
returned to town, and going to the
lodging house, they III retired.
Shortly afterwards a Negro man en
tered the room, and laying down, pre
tended to go to sleep. But he was
very wide awake, and it was not long
before his hand begun to work nt a
purse In the pocket of one of the men.
His efforts to remove It awoke the
owner, who asked the Negro what he
was doing. He received no satisfact
ory reply, and In a moment they both
seemed to be asleep again.
The white man was, but not so with
the Negro,who very soon began to oper
ate on the vest pocket of another one
of the party, who awoke, however, In
time ta cause the Negro to desist from
his purpose, but not suspecting that
an nttempt was being mnde to rob him.
Nothing further disturbed the party
during the night, but when they awoke
next morning the Negro was missing,
and so was Mr. Clemons’ overcoat.
The officers arc at work on the oase,
and dealare they will not stop until
they run him to earth. Jie Is sup-
posed to be the same Negro who rob
bed Mr. J. W. Hancock, ns he Is de
scribed as being young, tall and very
blaok.

The Hkhai.u published laBt week, a
report of the proceedings of the District
Allianoo convention at Cuthbert, and
also published from the Atlanta Con
stitution what Judge J. 11, Querry and
Hon. 0.11. Btevens had to say after the
notion of the Allianoo meeting had
been made public. AVlmt JudgoGuer-
ry said has drawn a card from Mr.
Stevens, nnd the report of the proceed
ings one from Col. Mitchell. Here
tlioy are:
Dawson, Ga, March 1.—Editor Con
stitution—In an Interview, published
in last Sunday’s Issue of your paper,
Judge Guerry says that he has good
reason to believe that had his name
■been presented to the Allianoo onnven-
tlon hold in Cuthbert on the 26th of
February, he would have received Its
endorsement as their oholce to repre
sent them In the fifty-third Congress.
As I wns a friend and supporter ot Ills
from Ills own town, and would have
beeu expected to put him In nomina
tion, by Implication he ncouses me of
Infidelity to him. Now, I don’t think
that the public has any interest In a
personal quarrel between Judge Guer
ry and myself. I am willing to let
every member of that convention say
what pnrt I took in it with reference
to his candidacy, and the possibility
of Ills being endorsed by them, which
I think will prove entirely satisfact
ory to the people of the scoond Con
gressional dial riot, as well as to the
Judge hlms.elf. Respectfully,
O. B. StIvhns.

Thomasvillb, Ga, February 29.—
Editor Constitution: There seems to
be, from reported interviews of dis
tinguished gentlemen by your corres
pondent, a misapprehension on their
port; ns to my status before the recent
Alliance convention at ‘ Cuthbert,
which I desire to correct through your
columns, the original source of infor
mation.
I was not a candidate before the con
vention as Intimated. Tile submission
of my name by the gentlemen who did
it was even without my knowledge.
The note received was nn agreeable
surprise to me, and l desire through
this medium to return sincere thanks
to my Alliance frienes for this mani
festation of their confidence and es
teem, and to assure them of lby good
>vill. Your* truly,
RonmiT G. Mitchkll.

name appears frequently on the pro

“Mr. Brooks affords an entertainment

holds his audience with a skilled
orator's power. His poems arc full of
wit, pathos, philosophy and sense,

Death er In. T. II. liake.
Died, at Thomasvllle, on Wednes
day afternoon, Mrs. T. H. Lake.
Mrs. Lake was a lady well-known to
many Albany poople, having once re
sided here, and having kept up n close
and warm friendship with several
families here sinoe her removal to
Tlibmasville.
She was a lady of inuoh Intellectual
ability, ot rare womanly traits, and
lived a noble, helpful life that has en
deared her memory to the people
among whom she lived.
God opened.tlie gate, beokonvd home
the spirit that ho loved, and thus end
ed the beautiful symmetry of a Chris,
tlan life.
Her death has been previously an
ticipated by her friends fof some time,
as she was n viotim of that dreaded
disease, consumption; but the blow
fell just as heavily when It came as
though it were unexpected. Her
death is the loss uf a cupimunity.
The many friends of the family ten
der their slnoere sympathy to the
bereaved, sorrowing husband and
children.
The funeral took plaoe at Thomas
vllle Thursday afternoon, and the re
mains were Interred in the Laurel
Hill cemetery nt that plaoe.
riu of ike Proposed Talon Depot.
Mr. Bruce, of the firm of Bruce &
Morgan, architects of Atlanta, wns in
the olty Friday with a plan of tHe
proposed union passenger depot for
Albany.
The matter of getting up a plan .and
specifications wns referred by the dif
ferent railroad officials Interested, nt
their last meeting iu this city, to
President Lowe, of the Columbus
Southern, and he had Messrs Bruce &
Morgnfi do the work.
Tile plan wns on exhibition nt Mayor
Gilbert’s ofllee Friday, and was ex
amined by a number of our citizens.
All who saw It were delighted with it,
so much so that no one appeared to
have nuy alterations to suggest for
the improvement of the proposed
structure.
The Railroad Commissioners have
already seen the plan and nre satis
fied with it. The people of Albany
will be satisfied with it, and now if all
the railroad people Interested in it
will agree upon it there is no reason
why tho contract for erecting the
union depot should not be let within a
very short time.

Mr. Charles Wessolowsky, who went
to Gainesville, Ga., the home of Gen
eral James Longstreet, to press an in
vitation upon tile venerable comman
der to attend the Georgia Chautauqua
and be present at the reunion of Con
federate veterans on “Military Day,”
accomplished tho mission wbeieunto
he was sent. Mr. Wessolowsky re
turned home Friday afternoon, and
was the recipient of many congratu
lations upon his success in induoing
the General to make tho trip. He
brought the gallant old soldier’s assu
rance that he would be here to “meet
the boys” on Veteran’s day.
Dkak reader,' you have never been

Thkhk hasn’t been a dance in Al
bany for a week or more; so the one at
Arcadia Tuesday night promises to be
largely attended.
Hon. J. W. Waltbhs has just return
ed from'a business trip to Texas, and
he talks like he might have a slight
touch of the Toxas fever.
Thk livery stableB are all getting
their available teams in' repklr for
use during Chnutauqua. They expect
to do a thriving business then, - ,
Tub fire cisterns that have water
pumped out of them by the engines
when they sprinkle the streets are all
refilled from the artesian wells at night.
Mr. W. E. Mitchkll has had the
grip, and Is now suffering with a boil
In his nose that would make a man of
less amiable disposition stay at home
and be as oross as a bear.
JudqkB. B. Bower has been'quite
ill with the grip atliis home in Bain-
bridge, but a member of the Albany
Bar who heard from him yesterday
reports that he is convalescent.
So many troupes have appeared be
fore the Albany publlo lately that only
such stars as Lilian Lewis or Down
ing draw good houses. Such coin,
panies as the last two that we have
had don’t make expenses.
Mr. T. P. Grxxn, the job printer, Is
still In the ring and is better prepared
than ever to turn out all kinds of
work In his line. He has now on hand
a complete assortment of commercial
stationery, and can serve his patrons
promptly with anything needed in the
way of job printing.
Somk statistician who has been
figuring on babies says that if all the
babies born in one year were laid in a
line, head to foot, they would stretch
from New York to Hong Knit". If
they could walk past acurucr at tile
rate of twenty per minute, it would
take them six years to pass.
1’rksidknt llobbs and Secretaries
Davis and Muse, witli such assistance
ns they can claim from the. Board of
Directors, are doing a great, deal of
work for the approaching Chautauqua
assembly. As the time for the open
ing of tlie assembly draws nearer, the
indications point more certainly to
the biggest assembly we have ever
had.
Thk little black horse Hint used to
belong to Gary Pitman, and was car
ried by him to Alabama, has turned
out to be a trotter. A gentleman in
Albany received a letter the other-day,
from a party in Montgomery asking
for the horse’s pedigree, and stating
that he had trotted the mile in 2:21
with ease and would lower bis record
several seconds by proper training.
Mr. J. M. Tift’s fine setter dog,
Cardo, was poisoned Thursday night,
nnd although a brave effort was made
to save his life, he died. Cardo was
known to all admirers of fine dogs in
Albany. He was very large nnd was
covered with a shaggy coat of black
and white, and was considered One of
tlie best bird dogs in the couqty.
Truly, dog-poisoners love a shining
mark.

The State Democratic Executive
Committee met in Atlanta on Wednes
day, and issued the following call,
which explains itself
Atlanta, Ga., March 2.—To the Dem
ocrats of Georgia -. In pursuance of
the Instructions this day given me by
the State Democratic Eexecutive Com
mittee, two State Demooratlo conven
tions are hereby oalled to convene in
the elty of Atlanta, one at 12 o'clock
Wednesday, May 18th, and the other at
12 o’clock Wednesday, August 10th.

House of the general assembly.
The first convention Is called to se-
leot delegates to the National Dem
ocratic convention, whloh oonvenes In
Chicago on June 81st; the seoond con

candidates for Governor, statehouse
olfioers and Presidential electors, and

Whii.k Mr. Barfoot, tho manager of
the eleetrio light plant, was running a
wire Into Gaffney's bar, yesterday, a
countryman, muoh the worse for
llqnor, oame along, and seeing Mr.
Barfoot hard at work trying to drill a
hole through a very hard wall, stop,
ped and began to beg that gentleman
to let him try his hand at pushing the
auger. This being refused, he tried
to induoe the eleotrloian to “spit on
the bit,” and It would drill without
any trouble. Mr. Larfoot pulled out
a penny, and dropping it to his would-
be advisor, said, “I always pay for
advtoe.” This made the man more
persistent than ever, and it was not
for a long time that he left the scene
of his disoomflture.
Ed. Savage, oolored, was arrested
by policeman Barron on Broad street,
in front of Leben’s store, for quarrel
ling with a Negro woman, gaturdav
night Savage’s,wife had borrowed a pair
of spectaoles Worn another woman,and
had broken them. The owner wanted
to be paid for damage to her property,
and made a demand on Ed for the
money. He was drinking, and began
to nbuse the woman for donning him
on the street. When officer Barron
attempted to arrest him, he resisted
for all he was wortli. Barron had to
break his billy over the Negro’s head
before he would submit to beingoarrled
to the guard house.
Mr. J. T. Stkklk, the furniture man,
has an advertisement In tills morn
ing’s Herald to whloh we take pleas
ure In inviting attention. Mr. Steele
is not the sort of man to say anything
in nn advertisement that he doesn’t
mean or that isn’t 9trlctly true, and
those wanting anything in the furni
ture line will do well to examine his
stook before making llieir purchases.
He lias an extensive stock from which
to select, ami he and bis courteous
clerks, Messrs. Sainuel Weldon nnd S.
J. Cook, seem to find genuine pleas
ure in showing the ninny handsome
goods whioli they always have in
store.
Durino the inspection of the Col
quitt. Guards Friday night, several
amusing incidents occurred. Lieuten
ant Saterlee asked one nmn how far a
bullet from bis gun would bold up.
Tlie three answers lie gave placed the
distances at one hundred yards, a
quarter of a mile, and lastly, one mile.
A sargennt was asked wlint lie would
do if lie was acting ns right guide
of a four, and the command
“column right” should be given. In
the midst of bis confusion the sar-
geant managed to reply that “they al
ways drilled in twos when he was in
the company.”
A Nboro woman led policeman
Raley a foot race in Court House
avenue, ami bent him fairly, Saturday
night. Tlie woman was supposed to
have been drunk, but she certainly
didn’t run like it.
Soon citizens of Albany will b(f able
to say “I live at number so-and-so,
such-and-such a street.”
Mr. E. A. Emmermax is carrying
a very muoh exaggerated eye. Box
ing.
Some things that you don’t see in
tlie Herald are left out on purpose.

HIGH GRADE
Can you get high grade furni
ture without paying high grade
prices ? That’s the question and
it’s a pointed question ! It comes
up every time you think of mak
ing a furniture purchase and it
generally remains up until the
purchase is completed. A rail
road man would laugh at the idea
of combining high and low grades?*
but we have high grade furniture
at low grade prices and we don’t
quote any figures on narrow guage
principles. If you are in doubt,
we have some doubt dispelling
prices. If you are looking for posi
tive proof, here it is:
The Mayer and Crine Furniture
Co. will sell you Curtain Poles at
25c. and Lace Curtains at $1.25 a
