Tin New Deal-Csspltallued al 900,800 Per Billet Pi- W:' I 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. •ECONO DISTRICT POHTIM. Hen. O. U. Blercns n< Cal. B. o. Mitchell Publish Curds. 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. ■ A CAstD FBOM COL. MITCHELL. 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. Or Fred Emerson Brooks, whose name appears frequently on the pro gram for Chautauqua, the Hon. Jas. Hendrix, President of the Board of Education, Brooklyn, N. Y, says: “Mr. Brooks affords an entertainment which Is delightful and unique. He holds his audience with a skilled orator's power. His poems arc full of wit, pathos, philosophy and sense, has no . superior before men of itrationhnd obs irvation.” :: AGAIN Is Teak’s trsm-YsrA the Setae af a AT HOME. J. A. SIMfc —Dentiau GAHMATI &. CUTLIFF.—Dentists. W. T. KuHNs-Photographer, Albany. Thb cold snap didn’t last long. Tux union depot Is not dead yet. Tax gymnastic class continues to grow. Tux street labels are rapidly being put up. Hot weather will be upon us In another mnnth. Albany seems to have enough of amateur theatricals. Thk sale of the Cassidy stock of goods takes place to-day. Ovvioxx Barron was after delin quent license payers yesterday. Tux vets will make the'welkin ring when they sec Gen. Longstreet once more. Ir you live iu Albany and can’t say something good nbout the town, talk about something else. Makx no engagements nor enter in to nuy sort of scheme that will In any way conflict with Chautauqua. Maj. W. F. Hhkllman, General Manager of the Columbus Bouthern railroad, was in the city Friday. Titxax is a man in Albany who doesn’t average three hours sleep out of the twenty-four, and is getting fat on it. Nobthkhn visitors are beginning to paBS through Albany, from points South of here, on their way back home. Abkn't you getting tired reading about that union passenger depot that is to be? The thing liugers on paper so long! 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. flcaernl lxOUKatreet Coming. 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 fooled by a patent medicine advertise, ment in this column of the Hxrald, have you? 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. GEORGIA DEMOCRACY. TIE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE CALLS TWO CONVENTIONS. Mar *• Asian 10 Appsisid far Iks Meeting ml DelegaMs In Atlnnln. 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. Each county la entitled to twloe as many votes in eaoh of the State con ventions as itbas members in the lower 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 vention Is to nominate Demooratlo candidates for Governor, statehouse olfioers and Presidential electors, and to eleot a new executive committee for the State. The method of seleoting delegates from the various oounties is left In the oontrol of the county exeoutlve com mittees; but the State < ommittee sug gests that the selection of delegates, and all nominations by the party, be by primary elections In the respective counties. Eaoh oounty is urged to perfeot its looal party organization, that the party may be thoroughly or ganized throughout the State, and pre pared to meet and overcome all oppo sition. W. Y. Atkinson, Chatrm’n State Dem. Ex. Com. H. H. Oabaniss, Seo’y. 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. ELECTION NOTICE.

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.
