MEMORIAL DAx.

Bring crimson flowers for their bravery;
For their last, long sleep bring white;
Bring blue for their faithfulness unto death,
To the cause they felt was right.
Bring evergreens for the memories
Which live In each Southern heart;
Bring sprays of willow and cypress
For the signs and tears which start
When the sorrowful past comes to US,
With its aching sense of loss;
When the crown was torn from our Southland
And it bent beneath the cross.
When brave mems deaths gained nothing
But they tried our cause to save;
Then in token of grateful remembrance,
Strew flowers on each soldiers grave;
With a thought for those in the wild wood.
Where tangled grasses creep;
For those unburied on battle fields.
In their last, long, dreamless sleep.
And tenderly cherish the memories,
Which live of our Southern dead;
They are none the less our soldiers,
Because of the years which have fed
Since the last tattoo beat for them,
And they sank to their dreamless sleep;
Their reveille will sound on the last great day,
And they will wake from their slumbers
deep.
Then cherish the grave and memories,
The memories p~laintive and sweet,
They are all that's left of the cause we loved,
And the hearts which have ceased to beat.

THE RAILROAD CONDENSATION
Believed to be Finally Perfected.

The following special from Augusta, m
der date Of the 23d instant, appeared in the
columns Of the Neps and Courier of yester-
day:
eek President Greene, of the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad, was In the city
to-day in close conference with President
PhinizY. He declined to be interviewed.
1t IS known that he has purchased a very
large amount of Central and Georgia Rail-
road stock. General Alexander, Vice
President of the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad. has been in New York during
this week with Mr.. Wadley, and
1t is believed here that they have
perfected arrangements for q grand
railway system, including all the railroads
In the Louisville and Nashville combination
in Georgia, South Carolina, and extending
to the cities of New Orleans, Mobile. Louis
vile, Charleston and Savannah. 1t is said
that this system will be under the manage
ment of General Alexander and Mr.. Wad-
ley, whose headquarters will be at Atlanta.
1t is thought that Col. E. W. Cole, Presi-
dent of the Memphis and Norfolk com
binalion, is e~ndeavoring to lease the Cincin-
natl Southern in order to have a continuous
line from the West to the Atlantic coast.
He is also building a branch road through
Tennessee and the Carolinas from Knox.
vile with the expectation of connecting
with the Augusta and Knoxville Railroad
and the Port Royal Railroad, thus estab-
fishing a competing line with the Wadley
combination
The following, which appeared in the
New York Tribune of Saturday, though
manifestly incorrect in several particulars,
has a tendency to c~orroborate the above.
ga consolidation of Southern railroads
was completed YESTERDAY, which virtually
gives the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
control of all the Southern ports. The South
Carolina Railroad, running from Charleston
to Augusta, with a branch from Branchville
to Columbia, has leased for ninety-nine
years the Georgia Railroad, running from
Augusta to Atlanta, with a branch from
Camak to Macon; also the Central
Railroad of Georgia, running from Savan-
nah to Montgomery, Alabama. The South
CarOlina Company guarantees to pay each
of the roads 81, 500, 900 a year. The Louis
vile and Nashville favored the combination,
and it is claimed, this is really a combina-
ton of interests which are to be identical
for all traffic on the several roads. The
Louisville and Nashville thus secures a
through line from the West to Charleston,
leaving its heretofore leased line-the West
ern and Atlantic-at Atlanta, and going
over the Georgia and the South Carolina
roads; also to Savannah, leaving the main
line at Montgomery over the Central OF
Georgia.
"The new scheme defeats a contem-
plated project to create a system of rail-
roads through the Carolinas, Georgia and a
part of Tennessee, to place Baltimore on a
new footing as a market for Southern pro-
ducts. The scheme was in the interest OF
the Virginia Midland Railroad, which it was
proposed to extend south to Danville. The
Western North Carolina Road was to form

Meeting of the Jockey Club.

In accordance with notice previously
given, a meeting OF the Savannah Jockey
Club was held yesterday morning to take
action upon the report OF the committee ap-
pointed at the meeting on Saturday to ex-
anime into the possibility Of securing a new
course, there being some dissatisfaction re-
garding Ten Brock course, and the proba-
BILE cost of the same. The committee not
being ready for report in full asked for further
time, whereupon the following resolution
was adopted:
Resolved, That the present committee ap-
pointed to see what arrangements could be

Of his track at Thunderbolt, be continued,
and requested to report in writing at a meet
ing to be called by the President, what the
chances are of obtaining sufficient land for
a mile track and at what price.

ted:
ReSol0ed, That a committee of three be ap-
pointed to confer with the Fair Association,
aud to report at the next meeting of the
Jockey Club, what arrangements can be
made for the next race meeting at the Ten
Brock course.
The President appointed Messrs. w. P.
Ward, B. B. Minor and G. Eglinger, as the
committee.
The meeting then az adjourned, subject to a
call from the President.

A Lively

Yesterday afternoon, about six O'Clock,
the horses attached to a carriage which was
In waiting at the Central Railroad wharf Tor
passengers from the New York steamer, oc-
casioned considerable excitement by run
ming away. The driver, a colored man, had
left them unattended to solicit passengers
when, from some cause, they became fright
ened and started off at a rapid rate in the
direction Of the city. They kept the middle
of River street and met with no mishap
until they reached the foot Of Whitaker
street, nearly half q mile from where they
started, when the left fore wheel OF the
carriage struck against the side OF
the warehouse and was broken,
the axle also being twisted and
the body Of the vehicle slightly mashed.
The pin that held the shaft was broken,
thus releasing the horses, which continued
on their run until near the Eastern rice mill,
when they stopped, simply because they
could go no further. They are large pow
erful animals, and during their rapid run
there was evident disposition upon the part
of those on the street 70 give them q wide
berth.

walsh & FarrelEs Store Burned out
-Ludden d Bates Damaged.

his morning about three O'Clock some Of
the compositors Of this office, whilst return
Ing nome, discovered smoke issuing from
the 81. Julian street entrance to the
building occupied by Messrs. Walsh
& Farrell as a boot and shoe store, in the
block bounded by Whitaker, Bull, 81. Julian
and Congress streets. They Immediately
cried IRE, and Policeman Kelley being
In the vicinity, fastened to the
spot, and ascertatniDg the cause,
ran 10 the station at the corner OF Whitaker
and Broughton streets, No. IA, and turned
In an alarm. The frem en- responded with
great promptness, and were on the ground
most before the five rounds had been
given.
IL was found that the entire lower floor.
occupied by Messrs. Walsh 81 Farrell, was
on hre, ana the smoke penetrating to the
upper stories and to the adjoining build
ing on the west, occupied by Messrs.
Luuuen q Bates, gave appearance of the
entire block being on fire. The prompti-
tude with which the firemen got to work,
however, prevented this calamity, and the
connagration was confined to the store in
which 1t originated.
Inc complete stock of Messrs. Walsh &
Farreu was either destroyed by fire or ruin
cd oy water. The upper store was occupied
as q portion OF the music establishment of
Ludoen q Bates, but the extent of the
damage could not be ascertained. The
lower apartment of the music house was in
no wise injured, though it was pretty well
nlIed with smoke. Some damage is occa.
stoned the stocks in the upper rooms from
water ana smoke, but to what amount those
connected with the house could not state.
Inc buildings are the property of Mrs.
Barnard and j. c. Rowland, ESQ and are
IuiIy insured 10 agencies represented by
captain j. +. Wheaton and Messrs. T. IT.
Harden q Co., and the stock is principally
insured In agencies of Captain Wheaton.
The stock Of Messrs. Walsh q FarreU. which
Will prove almost a total loss, was insured for
$4,000 In agencies of Captain j. Z. Wheaton.
Henry I. Bolts and others, but this will not
cover the loss, as one of the firm present
stated their stock was considerably in ex-
cess.
The alarm, sounded from the most pouu-
lous portion Of the business community, at
tracted even at so late an hour a very large
crowd.
At quarter to -four O'Clock the fremen had
the cOnfagration well under control and
there was no apprehension of the flames ex-
tending further.
1t is most fortunate that the fire was so
quickly subdued, as the destruction of this
valuable block would have been a public
misfortune at this time.
The cellar under Walsh & FarrelI's was
used as a wareroom for the storage of goods
by Ludden & Bates, and it may be assumed
That they were more or less damaged.

Rare and Beautiful Novelties for
Spring aud Summer.

This season Mr.. H. G. Houston, the well
known and popular milliner, seems deter
mined to excel his past efforts in presenting
to the feminine public of Savannah and
vicinity, a magnificent assortment OF season
able articles for the spring and summer.
Mr.. Houston has just opened large and
well selected assortment of beautiful and
elegant laces, straw hats, bonnets and rib
bons, over which his fair customers go into
ecstacies. His line of straws certainly is
superior in quality and beauty to any
previous displays, and there is such a
variety that every taste may be satisfied.
He has also a very fine stock of splendid
hosiery, dress goods, ties, etc, and a full
line Of the most fashionable styles In gloves,
including the celebrated Foster, of all
shades and colors. Indeed, we are not sur
prised to see his emporium crowded daily
with ladies, as there are few places as at
tractive aud inviting. We can only say to
those who have not been and who want
something elegant and appropriate for the
spring and summer to call and see for them
selves. ap26-tf
