nSoueezIng the CentraI.n

Under this caption the Charleston Net0s
and Courier thus editorially speaks:
1.-THE Alexander raid on the Central Rail-
road is not altogether successful, but it is
considered probable that, in some shape or
other, there VIII be division Of the Ocean
Steamship property among the stockholders
of the road.
cat the first glance there is nothing
unreasonable in such an operation. The
stock OF the Ocean Steamship Company
owned by the Central Railroad was paid
for by the company, or Is charge upon
the road. In either case the stockholders
have been at a disadvantage. They are
paying, as interest On bonds, the money that
would other wise be available for dividends,
or they have expended in subscriptions to
steamship stock a part of the profits that
would otherwise have been digisible among
the stockholders. The Alexander plan was
TO put the Central stockholders in as good
a position as if the capital stock of the com
pany, IN the beginning, had been made
larger than il is by an amount equal to the
cost of the steamship property, ard the
amount had then been expended in pur-
chasing the steamships. But this is not a
safe way to treat it.
"The steamships were necessary for the
profitable management Of the Central Rail-
road, aud such profits as they have earned
have gone into the treasury OF the railroad,
70 the extent of the railroads interest. The
Central Railroad is now getting the benefit
of the investment, in facilities for the trans
action of business and in actual profits
This is everything that the old fashioned
stakeholder would desire. Any increase in
the value OF his property, whether by part
ownership OF steamships or otherwise, he
would regard, and rightly, as an addition to
the intrinsic value of his stock, just as a
surplus, growing year by year, an insu-
rance against bad times, would be regarded
The Spectator is In a different position.
He wants to squeeze the property and put
up the price of the stock, so that he may
realize his profit in selling his stock, and be
free to play the game over again in another
quarter. The present moment is what con-
Germs him. Whether the additional stock
or bonds to be issued shall be ultimately q
disadvantage TO the road or not, is no affair
of his. He will have stepped aside, and
given the bag to a credulOUs public to hold.
''The President of the Central Railroad is
opposed TO the proposed division, and his
knowledge Of the condition and prospects
of the company is such as to make it haz
ardous to go counter TO his opinion. Mr..
Wadley brought the Central Railroad to its
present powerful position, and there is with
him guaranty that he is looking to the
permanent interests Of the company and not
to the gains or losses of the hour. This is
not the attitude of the raiders. They want
their profit Immediately, and care very little
what lecomes of the road afterward."

ACh,IdHorrIbir Burned.

Notwithstanding the numerous instances
that rave been recorded of children left
alone in houses being fatally or seriously
burned, It seems that parents will not take
warning aud exercise more care when CON-
PEELED to leave their offspring at home.
These cases are confined almost exclusively
to colored people, who are either indiffer-
ent or williullY careless. Yesterday after
neon, about 4:50 o'clock, a c0lored child
named Rebecca Bryan, aged five or six years,
was fearfully burned I'm her parents house
on Lovers lane. The family went our,
leaving the child alone in a room where
there was fire burning 10 the open fire
place. During their absence Rebecca, from
some cause, stumbled and fell into the fire,
and was horribly burnt about the neck and
face, one of her ewes being so badly burnt
that it protruded from the socket. The
cries Of the child attracted attention, and
assistance was at once rendered. DR.. I. b.
Chisholm was sent for, and did all that was
pOssible for her relief.

BOLD BURGLARS.
Three Bales of Cotton Carried OF
from a Yard.
January 5th, 1892.

L would seem from recent occurrences
that the festive burglars in this community
are becoming exceedingly bold, and the sue
cess that has attended their operations will
possibly have tendency to encourage them
to undertake even more extensive 'jobs"
unless their schemes are nipped in the bud
and some of them are captured by some
vigilant officer.
We mention elsewhere the robbery Of a
warehouse Of two bales OF sea Isl and cotton,
and now have to record therobbery of three
bales of upland from the yard of the Savan-
nah, Florida and Western Railway. The
burglarious fraternity appear to have a
peachdnt for the feecY staple, and are get
ting their work in on the wholesale, as these
two robberies indicate. We learn that few
nights since entrance was obtained into the
yard referred to by pulling off some Of the
pickets of the fence which encloses
he place, and through the opening thus
made they actually succeeded in carrying off
three bales of cotton. They evidently had
dray or wagon convenient, on which their
heecy spoils were transported, as otherwise
it would have been impossible for them to
have gotten away with three bales without
being discovered. The robbery was well
planned, as the loss was &c discovered
until the next day, and, so far - can be
| ascertained, the thieves were seen by no
| one in the vicinity.

Neither do we and auv error a. alec,

Neither do we find any error, as alleged In
the second, third. fourth or 18th grounds Of
the motion for new trial, In reference to
ed of.
AS to the sixth ground Of the motion,
that the court erred in giving ehargs to
the jury as ehole, which had a tendency to
mislead the jury and give them wrong i'm
presslons as to the facts proved, and pre-
sented wrong issues to the jury, and failed
TO present the true issues;' it may be said
that this ground Of exception Is so general,
that this court may well decline to consider
1t. While 1t may be true charge, az whole,
may be excepted to, yet 1t Is the duty of the
party excepting to specify aud designate spe-
cfally and In what particulars said charge as
whole is Objectionable. To say ''that the
charge had tendency to mislead the jury"
and give them wrong impressions" and
that the court did not present the true
issues to the jury" is too general and in
definite for this court to entertain as grounds
Of error.
We find no error In excluding the deed
from Lawton aud Owens as trustees
to the Atlantic and Gulf Rail-
road Company as evidence from
the jury. The deed was not irrelevant,
and could afford no protection to the defend
ant against this damage done to plaintiff
below, but the evidence showed, without
dispute, that the overflow and damage to
land OF plaintiff below did not result from a
break or overflow Of the bank of the canal
where IL aoas used by the railroad company as
It's road bed, but at a considerable
distance from the point where
the bed Of said railroad track detected
from the bank Of the canal. In
looking carefully into the testimony con-
tanned In this voluminous record, greatly
aided as we have been by the
clear and satisfactory abstracts
and briefs furnished by the counsel.
we can only say that we see no abuse of
the discretion Of the court below in refusing
this motion for new trial on the remaining
grounds as set forth therein. There is, in
our opinion, sufficient evidence to sustain
the verdict under the rules of law applicable
to the facts of the case, aud the damages
rendered were not only not excessive, but
might have been larger under the evidence
II the jury had thought proper so to render
them. Let the verdict Of the court below
refusing the new trial be affirmed.

The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of Hiss
Ward.

The celebrated actress Miss Genevieve
Ward. supported BY a fne company, will
make her first appearance IN our city at the
Savannah Theatre in the beautiful aud thrill
ling play entitled "Forget-Me-Not." The
reputation Of Miss Ward is a guarantee that
our lovers Cf the drama may anticipate 8
rich treat in the performance tonight. Re
feufog 70 the presentation Of the play in
that city the Boston Herald says:
''In every phase OF the character,
whether in the llght badinage and brilliant
repartee, the moments Of emotion st the
IreolIee ion Of heT past life, or the terrible
earnestue-s Of her threats of consequences,
II her plans are thwsrted, Miss Ward
develops great versatile Y and remarkable
power. Her whole performance is the most
complete aud symmetrical that has been
witnessed for long time. The language Of
the play Is worthy OF especial notice, the
dialogue being bright, crisp, and fairly
bristling with brilliant repartee aud
spark ing bits Of hUmOr. 'FOIget-Me-NOt'
is a play that should be witnessed by all
true lovers OF the drama.n
The diagram shows that there viii be q
large aud fashionable audience present, and
we would advise those who have not yet
secured seats to do so at once.

On Friday evening, January 18th, this well
known troupe of artists will make their first
appearance before a Savannah audience.
Their reputation alone should fill the house,
for in their particular line they are unsur-
passed. They were the pioneers of their
style of light musical entertainment in the
United States, and must be credited to-day,
after having had hosts Of imitatOrs within
the past few years, with retaining their
claim to being the best, as well as the first,
in their line.

Dearance.

Handsome Furniture for the Holt
daVa.

In this practical age those who wish to
commemorate the holidays are on the look
out for something useful to purchase as a
substantial testimonial to their loved ones,
who know that they are remembered, and
nothing could be better for this purpose
than a handsome set of parlor or bedroom
furniture, a comfortable rocker, or any Of
the many articles which now comprise the
stock of q modern furniture house. Then a
new carpet or curtains, or both,
viii prove a practical token OF stfec-
ton, and at the same time, If
the donor be the head OF the family, he can
also enjoy the comforts which his gift may
bring to the household. If this be the
method in which our citizens propose to
celebrate the holidays, they should visit
Messrs. Allen 81 Lindsay, 1863 and III
Broughton street, where they will find the
largest stock of furniture and carpets ever
seen in Southern hOuse.-Ad0.

A warehouse Robbed wO Bales
of Sea Island Cotton Spirited
AVuav

Away.
Several nights since the cotton warehouse
OF Mr.. H. Fraser Grant, on Bryan street,
near Abercorn, was entered by burglars and
robbed Of two bales of sea island cotton.
The robbery was discovered early the fol-
lowing morning, and the services Of de
tective were secured, and it was hoped that
the perpetrators would be apprehended,
uence, for prudential reasons, It was desired
to keep the affair quiet.
The robbery was remarkable for the dar-
ing which characterized the burglars, who
were evidently experienced hands in the
business, commonly termed professionals"
They effected entrance into the warehouse
by removing g sufficient number of bricks
near the door to make an aperture large
enough to enable one of them to crawl
through, the other remaining on tie out
side to watch. The burglar who entered
the building at once proceeded to cut up
two bales OF sea island cotton, and the
stable was passed out in small quantities az
a time to the confederate, and they then
succeeded in getting away with the entire
two bales. Considering the locality, and
the fact that they must necessarily have been
at work some time, the robbery was the
bOldest that has been committed in years.

Editor Morning Ael0S: In recent issue of

of that paper undertakes to sharpen the
bluntness of his goose quill against the
reputation of this steamer by advertising to
the public certain alleged rowdyisms which
he says occurred on board a few trips since;
that ga set of drunken rowdies were al
lowed to tramp over the boat in a most dis
graceful manner, using profane and obscene
language in the hearing and presence of
lady passengers, making the trip anything
but desirable or pleasant" Now, sir, in the
beginning, as commander of the steamer, and
being in command at the time, give This
falsehood my unequivocal denial. | heard
no such language myself, and my Purser,
who was in the cabin at the time it was said
to have been spoken, says that he saw nor
