reached the spot where the wheel of the
burned Palace Mill ia looated. Into this
he tumbled and striking his head against
a rook, broke bis skull. He was dragged
out by several parties, and a friend took
him to the Planters' House, where he

immer Schedule—Discharge ef Jtm-
pleyeee.
The Central Railroad, besides discharg
ing men at thiB point, has dismissed at
Augusta some fifty of its conductors, en
gineers, baggage masters, wood passers
and train hands, and it is expeoted mors
will bo turned off in the next few weyks.
The freight and passenger traffic does not
justify the hope that two-thirds of the
men engaged last summer will be able to
retain their situations during the coming
season.
General Bepeiring.
The chain gang has bean employed by
the oity to assist in repairing the damages
to orossings and bridges made by the lata
fresbet. Among ths improvements we
notlee the sewer on Oglethorpe street,
which enters into the main one on Thomas
street, is being widened end the rook
work repiaeed with briok.
The Street Committee intend having
the diteh which formerly led to the river
from the cemetery hill re-opened. This
will prevent the heavy overflows on the
lower portions of up-town.
The Bailroad Situation.
All of our railroads are now all right
for the running of trains from one end to
tho other. It is expeoted the Mobile and
Girard Railroad will resume its regular af
ternoon and morning sohedule on Wednes
day. The Southwestern train passed over
the break at Rook oreek Sunday aa usual,
and yesterday the regular passenger
schedule was resumed, and will continue
uninterrupted until another mishap, whioh
it is hoped will never ooeur again. We
hear sumo talk of the line being changed
to higher ground. This possesses many
advantages, aud will prove a great saving
in expense iu the course of years.
