improvements az the Freight Yard
az Augusta-NeVv Inventions.


The following account Of the improve
ments in the Central Railroad property at
Augusta, we find in the CHRONICLE Of satur-
day:
"The yard presents the appearance OF
well drilled army. Every car and tain is
arranged with an eye to order and quickness
In getting at any of them. Owing TO the
TACT that the Port Royal freight department
was recently moved to this point, more
tracks were required, and there are now
twenty in the yard, making altogether ABOUT
hve miles OF iron. The old passenger depot,
which Tor so many years was familiar land
mark, was torn down In order to give more
room for the tracks. This depot was one OF
the most substantially constructed buildings
in the city, and must have cost good round
sum originally. All that remains OF 1t now
Is large pile Of bricks and granite.
1--WE notice number of improvements, the
inventions Of Mr.. W. G. Raoul, who is an ac-
complished mechanic as well as tirst-class
railroad officer. One of these inventions is
the safety switch, which can be operated by
a boy, but is so constructed that 1t Is lmpos-
sible for train to be thrown from the track
by II, no matter how careless sWltcnman
may be. The switch works automatically,
and II train is thrown from the track, on
account OF its being misplaced, 1t is bound
TO go back again all right. Another OF Mr..
RlOul's inventions is the steel frog, whtchis
vast improvement over the old frog IN
use on most of the roads. The SAFETY
switch and the steel frog are now
used on the entire line of the Central Rail
road. Apparently very simple. but at the
same time, very valuable improvement, Is
the new Journal, also invented by Mr..
Raoul. This journal has no bolts or taps,
is easily adjusted and works admirably.
The collar in the old journal is done away
with, and In its place is slug, attached to
the lid Of the journal, which presses close
to the end Of the axle and prevents it from
oscilating. Under the car, and close to
the Journal, is still another invention OF
Mr., Raoul. The mere turning up OF the
end of a bar of iron, instead OF
leaving 1t straight, as was the GUS
tom before, adds greatly to the strength
OF the car. We understand that Mr.. Raoul
Is the inventor of a number of useful rail-
road attachments. The Central Railroad
now includes among It's rolling stock
forty thousand pounds, or ten tons. The
old cars only had a capacity of twenty
thousand pounds. The new cars are no
larger than the old, but they owe their in
creased capacity to the greater strength OF
the trucks.
at is said that In all the reports made by
conductors of hot journals, not one Of the
new journals was included.
"The freight department of the Port
Royal Railroad is located in the extreme
southern end of the Central Railroad freight
depot"

The FOrds' Grand Gift Entertain
mont.


ment.
The Ford Dramatic Amateurs are devot-
ing considerable time to the preparations
for their grand gift entertainment next
month, and it is anticipated they will make
an admirable record on that occasion.
Their regular meeting tonight will
be held st their old hall, over the cor
ner OF Bryan and Bull streets, the Mozart
Hall being engaged for the coming week.
Some changes have been made in the pro-
gramme, which will add greatly to the
interest and pleasure of all who attend the
entertainment.
Senior D. L. Ferrszzl will have charge Of
the orchestra, which will comprise flute,
three violinists, pianist and cornet. SignOr
Ferrszzi will also play a solo in the "Lover's
C4ll,n a new composition by Mr.. f. j..
Ruckert, and arranged by the Signor. This
will be very attractive feature. Z ne music
of the flute and zthern will be er tnced by
the playing of the orchestra. The tece COM
prises several solos and full chorus, one Of
the solos being sung by lady, who an
swers the song (Which represents sere-
nade) from the window of a house. This
will be, from all indications, charmiDgly
rendered.
The Veteran Guards Cadets will be well
represented. The members of the associa-
tion are drilling assiduously, and it NAV be
assumed that the evolutions, which are en-
tirely new, will be given with fine effect. The
Cadets will appear in snowy uniforms, made
to order especially for the occasion, and have
secured the Republican Blres' brass band to
appear on the stage with them. We learn
that the tickets for the entertainment are
meeting with a ready sale, and there is
scarcely doubt that this effort of the Fords
will prove dramatic as well as pecuniary
SUCCESS.

Wallace Bruce, the celebrated orator who
lectures at Masonic Temple under the aus
pieces of the st. Andrews Society on Friday
evening, March 18th, stands to-day in
the front rank Of lyceum lecturers, with
clear title to his reputation as the scholar
and orator. He has been fortunate In the
choice Of his subjects. The names Of Irving,
Bryant, Burns, Scott and Shakespeare are
household words. He has the power Of in
fusing an audience with his own enthusiasm,
and the New England press have paid him
the high tribute Of placing his name with
those Of Everett, Winthrop aud Phillips.
No one since the days Of Starr King mas met
with such immense success. He speaks
without notes and is an orator in the rue
sense of the word.

The Great Spectacular Play, "The
World -

AS will be observed by announcement
elsewhere, Messrs. Brooks & Dickson, the
popular theatrical managers, will present at
the Savannah Theatre on Friday evening
next the grand spectacular play, entitled
"The World" which, it is claimed, so far
surpAsses anything heretofore produced that
It is by all conceded to be immeasura oily
superior in Its bewildering, dazzling effect,
to anything ever witnessed upon the stage.
The Sandusky Register says:
1.-the World the great spectacular and
emotional drama, was presented for the
first time at Biemiller's opera house
last evening, and to say that the ex-
pectatlons OF the audience who assembled
to see 1t were fully realized, conveys but a
slight impression of the genuine satisfaction
afforded by the splendid presentation of
this greatest of modern plays. That The
World is all that is claimed for it will be
attested by every person who saw it last
night. 1t is grand play, magnifcently put
upon the stage. Every character, from the
most important down to the most Insight
cant, was in good hands and the play went
smoothly from beginning to end without
the slightest interruption or any suggestion
of weakness. The piece is in five acts and
nine tableaux."
Reserved seats will be on sale at Bren's
ticket Office.

Yesterday afternoon, at one o'clock, two
young men whilst proceeding up Bull street
engaged in aHvely discussion, and, on reach
ing Wright's square, opposite the court
house, became very excited over the mat
ter. They finally resorted to blows, and after
several ticks had passed one Of them struck
the other q very vigorous blow, which
brought him 10 the ground. Before he had
time to return the compliment a policeman
hove in sight, and scrambling to his feet he
retTeated rapidly, his late antagonist fol-
lowing. The policeman pursued them, but
they managed to escape. One of the parties
was in such haste to get away that he would
not stop to pick up his hat which dropped
of in his fight.
