Receiver Comer 1ms just issued
port.to the stockholders of the Central'^
Railroad, supplementary to his report
to Judge Speer, which is as follows:
Office of tiik Central Railroad
AND B’K Comity of GkoROI A.
Savannah, (Sn., Nov,4,13112,
To the stockholders: The board of
directors having approved and adopt
ed the report of the operations and
oondltlons’of your company recently
made by me ns receiver to the United
States court, by permission of the
cu^rt, this report is now submitted to
you,
III preparing the report I have en
deavored to present the ailairs of the
iotmpany in a way to afford readily a
clear understanding of its condition
and of the difficulties now attending it.
Tile future of your company, as
stated in the report, depends very
greatly upon wlmt ffnnnoial arrange
ments cntt be made, and the general
business of tiio country served by its
lines. The principal difficulties are
the large floating debt and the amount
of money required to put the property
in condition to obtain the greatest
economy of operation, botli nt a time
when general business is very greatly
depressed and confidence shaken, As
suming, hbwever, that the float ing debt,
car trustviud real estate notes, and the
tri-partite bonds maturing January
1st next, nnd the amount estimated by
your general superintendent as neces
sary to be expended within the next
two or three years, in order to obtain
the greatest degree of economy of
operations: can lie funded nt live (5)
per cent., and that business should re
sume the proportions of the average of
the three years ending June 80th, 1891,
the result would be about as follows:
Fixed charges other than
Tripartite bonds If 1,918,872 41
The following items fund
ed nt 5 per cent:
Tripartite bonds 4,999,000 00
Floating debt 5,232,028 00
Past due coupons 427, 810 Oo
Past due interest on certifi
cates of indebtedness 133,000 00
Equipment notes in which
is infiluded interest to
maturity:
Real estate notes in which
is included interest to
maturity 287,935 00
Additions and improve
ments recommended by
general superintendent... 4,575,000 00
Hon. Daniel Smith, a leading Al-
linnceman of Mobile county, Ala., has
received the following letter from the
chairman of the execufive board of the
National Farmers’ Alliance:
Washington, November 8.—I tnke
the liherty of writing you ns an in-
ffuenlial Allianceman of the State to
say that I now think it necessary, if
we preserve the order, that we at once
go to work and urge all Alliancemeu,
regardless of political affiiatiens,
again to come to the ranks and put
heir shoulders to the wheel, assuring
hem that we will make it in fact, as
eli as in name, a non-partisan
organization. The complete defeat of
the People’s party, which lias every
day been more apparent since the
eorgin election, must not be allowed
to destroy the Alliance, and we can
irevent it by timely and wise notion.
>t the spirit of interference cease.
“Fraternally,
“C. IV. Machine.”
Unofficial but reliable reports that
have renched the Herald to-day leave
no doubt about the election of Hon.
Hen U. Russell over the Republicnn-
hlril Party combination by a good
majority.
The probability Is that Mr. Russell
Inis carried every county in the dis
trict, including his opponent's own
ounty, linker.
Miller county, which gave a small
Third Party majority in the October
election, redeemed herself yesterday
by giving Russell a majority of about
200.
Mr. Russell’s majority in the district
will be over 8,000.
$10,531,730 00
Funded at 5 per cent, the
interest would be 820,580
Total fixed charges would
be deduct income from
investments 184,781 60
Net fixed charges to be ob
tained from operrtionsof
property $2,500228 87
Average gross earnings of
the combined roads the
three years ending June
30, 1891, not including
Macon nnd Northern, 105
miles, and Ohattanoogn,
Rome and Columbus, 138
miles.. 0,509,095 00
It seems reasonable to suppose that
with the property put in good condi
tion, as contemplated in the report of
the general superintendent, that it
could be operated and maintained for
4)5 per cent, of the gross enrnings.
This would give net earnings from
combined ronds, estimating the Macon
and Northern and Chattanooga, Rome
and Columbus to earn only operating
expenses $2,805,183 25.
Average net earnings
Ocean Steamship Co....$ 474,583 00
Average net earnings of
bank 23,248 00
Total net earnings $2,802,914 25
Condensed these figures show—
Net earnings $ 2,802,914 25
Fixed charges 2,570,228 87
Balance $ 242,085 38
These estimates have been prepared
with care and‘are believed to be con
servative. Respeotfully submitted,
H. M. Comer, President.
Lefk) Verbiage in an Old Document.
An old deed recorded In Pettis county,
Mo., over fifty years ago, contains a good
illustration of the legal verbiage com
mon in such Instruments in early times.
In addition to forty acres of land, sold
for a consideration of fifty dollars, the
document conveys "all and singular—
appurtenances, appendages, advowsons,
benefits, commons, curtilages, cow
houses, comcribs, dairies, dovecots,

water courses, windmills, together with
every other necessary right, immunity,
privilege and advantage of whatsoever

Her Mood Chauged.
A young man passing through a crowd
in a great dry goods store found himself
aide by side with a timid looking little
man, and exactly behind a lady. A
movement of the crowd forced the
young man to step upon the hem of the
lady's skirt. She turned quickly around,
with a furious look, and was ovidently
•bout to address some fierce remark to
him, when a change came over her face
suddenly: “Oh, I beg your pardon, sir,"
she said; “1 was going to get very angry.

Tbo Picture Illusion.
A correspondent writes: “Almost
every careful observer of pictures must
have noticed how the eyes of portraits
appear to follow one ull over the room.
Can you account for this?”
The illusion referred to has been ex
plained thus: Supposo a portrait with
its face and its eyes directed straight in
front, so as to look at the spectator. Let
a straight lino he drawn through the tip
of the nose and half way between the
oyes, which we shall call the middle
lino. On each side of tills middle line
there will ho the same breadth of head,
of cheek, of chin and of nock, and each
iris will ho in tiio middle of the whole of
the eye. if we now go to one side the
apparent horizontal breadth of every
part of the head and face will he dimin
ished, but the parts on each side of the
middle line will be diminished equally:
and at any position, however oblique,
there will be the same breadth of face
on each side of the middle line, and the
iris will be in the center of the whole of
the eyeball, so that the portrait preserves
all the character of a figure looking at
the spectator, and mUBt necessarily do
so wherever he stands.
In portraits the apparent motion of the
head is generally rendered indistinct by
the canvas being imperfectly stretched,
os the slightest concavity or convexity
entirely deforms the face when the ob
liquity is considerable. The deception
is therefore best seen when the painting
is executed on a flat board, and in colors
sufficiently vivid to represent every line
in the face with tolerable distinctness at
great obliquities. Distinctness of out-
,ine is indeed most necessary to a satis
factory exhibition of this optical illusion.

Why the Lecture Was a Failure.
One winter Nye was at Jefferson City,
ind as the legislature was In session a
number of newspaper men of the state
were there, too: and to show what they
deemed proper courtesy to one of their
number they arranged an informal re
ception, with Nye the principal attrac
tion, on the afternoon of the day in the
evening of which Bill was to lecture,
and they expected of him the same cor
diality and bohemianism that marks
the average writer. Nye was at the re
ception, but he was a dead stick; never
once did he smile; neither did he at any
time attempt a witticism. His enter
tainers were disappointed and disgusted,
and sorry that they had paid him the
compliment of purchasing a conple of
boxes at the opera honse to hear bis lec
ture.
But they got evon. When Nye mounted
the stage that night and began pouring
forth his jokes and drolleries notanews-
paper man in the box smiled. All looked
solemn as owls, and occasionally glanced
with astonishment at the audience that
kept in a roar of applause. Nye con
tinued, and became conscious of the fact
that this portion of his hearers was not
pleased, and he directed his shafts of
wit at them. But they smiled not, but
only stared at him in solemnity. Their
coolness soon communicated itself to the
audience by some occult means and it
ceased to cheer, and before the entertain
ment was half over it was voted a dead
failure.—Charleston (Mo.) Democrat.

An interesting problem is that
which is puzzling the insurance agents
at New Haven, Conn. The problem
appenrs to be one which, though one
of figures, is bard to reduce to a satis
factory quotient. Those who are en
gaged on the peculiar problem report
that they have two quantities given
but to find the third is a difficult job.
The known quantities are an insur-
enoe claim of $1,600 and two quarts of
ashes. The ashes are alleged to be the
remains of $1,600 worth of olotbing,
and the agents are experimenting and
figuring to see if that amount ot oioth-
ing would or not make more than two
quarts of ashes. ’
The tailors will find something of,a
bonanza in the result of the election,
Several parties bet suits of clothes, and
the way things have turned out will
break into several bank accounts.

The Tamo op tiro.
The Arabs claim that Eve’s tomb Is at
Jiddah, tho seaport of Mecca. The tem
ple,-with a palm tree growing out of a
crack in the rook roof, which ia of Itself
one of the wonderB of the orient, is sup
posed to be built directly over the lost
resting place of the first woman. Ac
cording to Arab tradition Eve meas
ured over 200 feet In height, which, un
likely as it may Beem, strangely coin
cides with an account of our first par
ents written by a member of the French
academy, who also cluimed a height of
over 200 feet tor both of the tenants of
the garden of Eden.
Eve’s tomb, which is a burying grnnnd
that is surrounded by a high wall, the
gate to which has not been opened for a
single interment for over 1,000 years, is
the shrine of thousands of devoted Ish-
maelites, who make a pilgrimage to the
spot once every seven years. Once each
year, on Juno 8, which is, according to
Arabian legends the anniversary of the
death of Aiiel, the doors to the tomb of
our first mother remain opon all night,
no odds what precautions are taken to
keep them closed. Ton-ible cries of an
guish are aaid to emit from tho tomb, as
though the memory of the first known
tragedy still haunted the remains which
blind superstition believe to be deposited
there.—Philadelphia Press.
Orlmo in Corea*
“They do not classify crime in Corea,”
sold J. B. Winkler. “It Is jnst aa seri
ous a matter to be convicted of stealing
a pound of rice as of plotting treason or
of committing wholesale murder. There
is but one penalty for all crimes—to ent
off the heads of culprits. During my
viBit to that queer country a pair of val
uable sleeve buttons were stolen from
me. I suspected a servant and he was
taken before the tribunals and subjected
to a rigorous examination. There was
absolutely no evidence tending to fasten
the crime npon him. I suspected the
fellow of having swallowed the buttons
to avoid discovery, and the autboritiee
politely offered to cut him open insearch
of evidence if 1 said so.”—St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
In 1883 Zalie Sivar, of Hauto-Lolre,
France, after quarreling with her
husband over some small matter,
heated her outdoor bake oven redhot
crept into it and cremated herself.
There is nothing more precious to
a man than his will; there is nothing
which he relinquishes with so much
reluctance.—J. G. Holland.
One million dollars in gold coin
would weigh 8,685.8 pounds. The
same amount of silver coins would
weigh 58,929.9 pounds.
The highest type of character is that
whieh is made up of feelings so'lumi
nous that the man takes a more elevated
path than he could ever do if he were
bound down to roles and precedents.—
