Awhile Man KILLED on the Central

The down freight train on the Central
Railroad on Monday night ran over a white
man about half mile above Millen horri-
bly mangling him. Both his legs were cut
of and his head terribly crushed. We learn
that the deceased was named Charles Smith,
and claimed to be Captain and owner OF
small sloOp, which he stated was lately lost,
and that be was from Savannah, where he said
he had friends He had been loatng
around Millen since Sunday, and was seen

He was seen late on Monday night, and
babe everybody goodbye" and started
10 the road towards Macon. When dis
covered by the engineer he was lying across
the track, full length. The whistle was
blown and brakes reversed, but 1t was i'm
possible to stop the train, and the ponder
Gus engine passed over the unfortunate
man, killing him instantly. He was about
fifty wears Of age. The suppOsition is that
he either laid down on the track inten-
tionally or fell over in 3 drunken stupOr.
The remains were removed to Millen.

CHARTER FORFEITED.
The Lease of the Georgia Railroad
TO the Central.

We find in the Atlanta PoSt-Appedl the
following article Of considerable interest at
present:
There is at present some extraordinary
sparriDg going on in railroad and in Rail
road Commission circles. The State Of
Georgia advanced (this is the only modern
instance, however, to the very front rack
in dealing with railroad corporations when
it established a board Of Railroad Commits
sioneTs with power to regulate freight and
passenger rates, and other States of the
Union are copying the Georgia law on the
subject.
Recently suit was instituted by the Geor-
gis Railroad against the Commission, which,
Of course, means the testing the constitu-
tionality Of the law creating the board, not
wiihstsnding the fact that such 8 case has
already been adversely decided IN the United
States Court.
1t now transpires that the Railroad Com
mission have ascertained that the Georgia
Railroad and Banking Company has for
feited ifs charter. 1t IS said that the lease
of the Georgia Railroad Is in direct viols-
ton OF It's charter, and that the pressing Of
their suit against the Railroad Commission
may result In measures being taken to have
the charter of the Georgia Railroad aud
Banking Company declared forfeited.

WOMAN.
Hope for Suffering WOman-SOme-

By reason Of her peculiar relations, and her
peculiar ailments woman has been compelled
to suffer, not only her own ills. but those aris-
ing from the want of knowledge, or of con-
sideration on the part Of those with whom she
stands connected in the social organization.
The frequent and distressing irregularities pc
cuiar to her sex have thus been aggravated to
a degree which no language can express. In
the mansions of the rich and the hovel of the
poor alike, woman has been the patient victim
of ills unknown to man, and which none but
she could endure-and without a remedy Bit
now the hour of her redemption has come.
