Comer and suggested the above named gen tlemen, with one exception (Mr. James Swann) for directors. Mr. Charles S. Fairchild, of New Tfork, secretary of the treasury under Cleveland, vrn* recommended in Mr. Swann’s plnoe, but Mr. Swann, who seemed to think the 42,000 shares should be voted, refused to resign from the old hoard, and in preparing the tickets his name was left off and Mr. Swann’s was put In its place. The polls for receiving the vote were opened nt ten o’clock and kept open until one, when they were counted and tile above gentlemen were declared elected. The Central Trust Company, of New York, and the Richmond Terminal arc holding on long and hard, Mr. Adrinn Hi Joline nnd Judge Henry B. Tomp kins, representing the Central Trust Company, and Mr. Edward Lnuter- bach and Cnptaln Harry Jackson, rep resenting the Richmond Terminal, were present before the managers when the polls were opened. Mr. Joline appeared before the man agers and Btated that he had repre sented the Central Trust Company, which held two blocks of the capital stock of the railroad company, one containing 40,000 shares and the other containing 2,200 shares. He present ed three papers authorizing him to vote this stock, and offered to vote it separately. After conferring with I.awton & ‘Cunningham, the Centrnl’s attorneys, Chairmun Clinch of the board of man agers refused to receive the stock and Mr. Joline bowed himself out. He re fused to sny for whom he wished to vote the stock nnd lie also refused to say what the Central-trust 1 company will do in the matter, but it is under stood that it will be taken to the court of appeals. According to a Savannah special to the Allnntn Journal, one of the direct ors stated tlull the case would be brought before Judge Speer, under a new motion nt an early day, and from there It will be tnken to the Court of Apheuls. The gentleman stated (lint It was very important to settle this 42,000 shares matter nt nil early date, as In its present condition it would seriously impair the credit of the com pany nnd prove a weight to Its future prosperity.

No waters, anywhere contain a {grenter abundance or variety of game hull than do Kinchafooueu and Muck- ialee creeks nnd Flint river. These streams are all easy of access from Albany, and not a day passes that fishermen do not angle their waters. On account of their swift current and ohonly nature, it is almost impossible to use seines nnd nets to advantage, therefore the only means of securing them.are by using,baskets and traps, . and the slower but more exciting use . -of the rod and line. The largest and gamest fish we have Is the sturgeon. In the spring this variety of .the tinny tribe, like tl,e ;shad,. come up into the fresh water stream8 from the ocean and Gulf and deposit their eggs. At this season of the year they are on their way back to , the salt water, and from 4 o’clock in the afternoon far into the night a person on the bank of Flint river can see sturgeon, often six feet long, rise from the water to a height exceeding their length, and fall back with a splash that makes a huge trough in the water. Up on Kinchafoonee creek, at the '(Big Shoals, a Mr. Batson has a fall trap, on which he catches fine sturgeon every night. A reporter of the Heiiai.d visited him at his trap recently nnd found that be had two of these inon- ster*llshes, one of which would proba bly have weighed one hundred pounds, tied out like hogs, Mr. Batson butchers them, and finds a ready market for their flesh in the city. The meat hnsa yellowish hue, and its flavor strongly resembles that of the salmon. Wouldn’t sturgeon fishing be a pay ing enterprise for some person who would establish one? Their flesh, when salted down, or canned, is n very .saleable article. Hiale Hundisr-Scbool ChvchiIm. The State Sunday-school Convention meets at Marietta to-day and contin- aies for three days.

Neither age nor education seems to be able to rid the mind of cer tain superstitious ideas. It would be difficult to find a person willing to be one of a party of thfr teen at a table, and the dislike to be gin nn undertaking of any kind on Friday is equally as general Superstitions are rife among chil dren, and In no seotion does the Imag ination of children seem to be so pro' Hflo with regard to what will affect their fortunes as In the South. In speaking of these superstitions among Soutbern children, the New York World says: They will “try their fortunes” by go ing across a brook nnd gathering nine switches of different kinds, dip them In the brook, then bind them together, using with the twine the lmir from the head of the person “trying the for tune;” then they are put under the pillow nt night, and the dream will he of the future husband or wife. These children have a very pretty way of “telling fortunes” with the doddler vine, or love vine, as they call It. A piece Is broken off and twisted round the head three times, then dropped on the bank behind them. If the sweetheart is true it grows. If it dies he or she is false. The mullen stalk is also used to learn the constancy or the fickleness of the lover. The stalk' is broken, but not detaehed, and if it continues to grow the absent one is constant, or vice versa. They have also many ways of tell ing fortunes by the moon. The most popular one is this: When the moon is seen for the first time, three steps are taken backward and these words repeated: Now moon, true moon, truo and bright. If I have a true love, let me dream of him to night. If I’m to marry, nc'ar, tel me hear a hint cry; If I’m to marry far, let me hear a cow low. And if I'm never to wed let me hear a hammer khock. • Strange to say, according to their accounts, one of these three sounds is sure to be beard. On hearing the first wood doye in the spring they will,bit down, remove the shoe and stocking from the left foot and in the heel of the stocking they say there will be found a hair the color of that of the man or woman they will marry. Then the flight of the turkey buz zard is always noted, especially if flying alone, and the bird is addressed thus: Hail,tiaii.lonoly turkey buzzard, Fly to the rust, fly to the wont, Fly to Die one I love heat! Let me know by the flap of the wing Whether he or she lovefs me or not. The hint’s direction of flight is noted; also the motion of the wings. If they flap it is considered a true sign that (lie lover or sweetheart is true. There is a superstition common among children in almost all localities in the South that if you kill a snake and hang it in a tree it will surely rain within three days. Another one is that hair combings should never be thrown out of doors, for the reason that the birds will use them in building their nests and thus produce constant headache to the per son to whom they belong. y. .. Tl The Work or Numbering the Uouiei lo Begin To-Morrow. A reporter of the IIkkai.d was talk ing with Alderman J. O. Cassidy this morning about numbering the houses, when the work would begin, how the numbers would run, etc. Mr. CaBsidy has control of this work, and kindly furnished us with the fol lowing facts, which will be of Interest to the public: - Broad street will be the point from which the numbers will run. . Take Jackson street for instanoe. Starting from Broad, the numbers will run in one, two, threo order, both north nnd south, and the houses will be known as No.—, North or South, Jaoksoo street, as the caBe may be. By this plan numbers can be added as the town grows, without any confusion. Of course the streets running east and west will be (lumbered strnightout from the river to the western limits of the city. lu the business portion of the city each store will have n number, nnd on vacant lots twenty-live feet will con stitute a number. This latter order will be observed as far north as North street. In the residence portion of the oity, fifty feet will constitute 'a num ber.

Satterlee, who hns been in specting the Georgia militia, wants to take a battalion of 400 picked men to the World’s Fair. The Atlanta Con stitution tells of the plan as follows: The military programme of the Fair contemplates the massing of 10,000 United States regulars at Chicago under Gen. Miles, and the assembling of 110,000 militia. Lieut.8atterlee wants to take n battalion of 400 men from Georgia. The idea Is to take men six feet high, finely proportioned, hand somely equipped and thoroughly drilled. Such a body would attract universal attention. The specifications are about the same as those of the Royal Horse Guards of England,which forms the special guard of the Qmptn, Every one of that famous force Is six feet or over andiselected for physical strength and soldierly qualifications. Another famous body of troops is the German Imperial Guard, composed of picked men, enlisted from all partit of the em pire. The idea is that men be picked from the different commands of the State, each furnishing its quotn to the bnt- tallon of 400. This would he about in the proportion of one in ten of the present'force. That Is to say, a com pany of furty would send its four best men to Chicago. I.lcut. Satterlee’s idea is that the men of this battalion should be uni formed and equipped alike nnd should be organized, and. drilled together so as to make it a model volunteer force, lib believes Georgin can bent the United States nn such a battalion nnd Ims his heart set on taking one to'the World’s Fair during the grand en campment. This matter Will be discussed by the officers and men during the encamp ment nnd some plan will prnhnbly be formulated for carrying out the idea. What is money? mission in trade, and what relation does it bear to the material develop ment of a coun try? ' These ate questions discussed in a very practical and common-sense way by Mr. Edward T. Devine In Univer sity Extension for May In an interest ing paper on “Economics.” As to money he says: In the popular mind the significance of money ih the Industrial mechanism is usually grossly exaggerated. Its total quantity does not measure In any sense the aggregate wealth of the oountry, nor does it stand In any fixed relation to Its stock of capital. The Importance of the money of a country is somewhat greater than that of the !8 III weights and measures lu general use, but its function does not differ ma terially from theirs. Money is used In exchanging goods as railway oars nre used In transporting them. Both money and cars are capital, but neither has any exclusive or peouliar olalm to Ihe title. When it is said that money Is needed to develop the resources of a particular section of the country, it is almost always capital of other kinds than money that Is really laoklng. If the supply of money Is really short It m other countries will be attracted froi as soon ns prevailing high prices show thnt there is a deficiency. Mr. Devine seems to have a very correct Idea about the vnlue nnd uses of money. Jerry Simpson and all the subtreasury advocates will want to cnll him an idiot or a monopolist, how ever, beunuse he doesn’t appear to be lieve that if money should be as grass It would still be worth more than grass In cxchnnge for the fruits of la bor.
