We learn from official sources that the
new fast train from Savannah to Atlanta
will be put on the Central Railroad about
the LIST of November, though It is possible
the schedule will go into operation on the
29th inst. Two of the trains are now ready
in Savannah and another in Atlanta. 1t is
not only necessary to have new engines for
this fast schedule, but also new cars, built
for fast travel, and the engines and cars
have been received. The trains will be new
from one end to the other, and will carry
hotel cars, sleepers and palace cars. 1t will
leave Atlanta at Ais in the morning, reach
Macon at 7:15, Savannah at 1 O'Clock and
Jacksonville at 6. The outward train will
leave Savannah at p. m. and reach Atlanta
at midnight, making the run in eleven
hours, aud only stopping for water and
wood. 1t will be a through train entirely.

L. RRrlPhOla-

This we'll known of Offenbach's opers
bouffes was presented to a fine house at the
Theatre last night by Miss JEANNE Winston
and the John A. Stevens Comic Opers
Company.
The cast was good and the music well
rendered. Miss Winston, in the leading
part, fully realized the anticipations Of the
audience, and showed decided improvement
both as an actress and singer since her last
appearance in this city, two years ago, with
the Adah Richmond Opera Company, when
she made q very favorable impression.
1t is to be regretted, however, that this
really meritOriOus company will insist upon
producing Offenbsch's broad and Frenchy
operas upon the Southern stage. The act
ing and the singing were all good, but the
plot OF La PerichOe is certainly: offensive to
the taste of this community. Such comic
operas as the Mascotte, Olivette or even Pin
afore would be much more acceptable, and
could be as easily produced as any OF the
French composers decidedly "broad" pro-
auctions.
Tonight ''The Jolly Bachelors" will be
given, aud we see by our exchanges that
the music is bright and sparkling and well
rendered by the company. IL has drawn
well in other cities Of the States where II
has been produced, and although it maybe
liable to the same objection which we have
found to ola Perlchole," it will no doubt
attract full house.

Death OF Captain James A. Barron.
There are many in this community who
will be sorry to hear OF the death Of Capt.
James A. Barron, which occurred at his
residence, northeast corner of Mont
gomery and Anderson streets, last
night about nine O'Clock. Some
two weeks ago he caught a severe cold
which laid him up, and developed into acute
pneumonia, from which he died. Captain
Barron was a native of Baltimore, but left
that city many years previous to the war for
New Orleans, where he worked as pressmsn
on the Daily ReaylRe. He was an old fireman
in Baltimore during the noted days of the
volunteer system, and he naturally took a
lively interest in the fire department OF New
Orleans, and became very prominent MEM
Der. He came to Savannah many years ago
to accept the position OF pressmsn of the
old Republican. He was at one time mem
Der OF the old Savannah Fire Company, and
was Captain Of No. 4, the engine house of
which was located on the west side of Monu-
ment square. He was also a member Of
Young America Fire Company, and when
that company was disbanded he Joined the
Washington Fire Company Of which or
gsniZation he was an active member and its
foreman, until a few years ago, when his
advancing years and increasing infirmities
compelled him to retire and he was placed
on the honorary roll. At fire at the Savsn-
nah Female Orphan Asylum In 1859 he
rescued some Of the children from the third
story at the imminent peril of his life, and
suffered greatly from the smoke he inhaled.
some months elapsing before he entirely re-
covered. He was presented with a
handsome testimonial in recognition of his
noble conduct on that occasion. Suisse
queDtly at another fire he rendered equally
gallant service in rescHing a helpless wo-
man from a burning house. In 1878 he
went as nurse TO Memphis, and braved the
DestileDce there, doing good work, and re-
turned with testimonials Of his devotion
| and kindness to the sffiicted.
The printers of his time thought great
deal of cold Jim Barron" He was ever
generous to the craftsmen and stood by
them as a stesdfast friend. During the
late war he was captured by the Federals
while down the river in boat with Capt.
Westcott and carried a prisoner to Port
Royal. He subsequently escaped and re-
turned to Savannah.
For several years past he had been en-
gagged in the retail grocery business, in a
building attached to his residence. He was
about 65 years of age.

On Tuesday afternoon Bub Kent, negro.
encountered Josephine Small, dark hued
dame, whom he calls his wife, on Olive

prepare his dinner without delay. The
woman was somewhat tardy in obeying this
mandate, and showed a disposition to re-
main on the boulevard aud enjoy
the discourse of certain friends. This in
censed the irate lord, who thereupon drew
his penknife and gave her a severe stab in
the throat, inflcting an ugly wound. and
also cut her Ia the cheek. The injuries are
quite serious, and the physician, DR.. T. B.
