THE ATLANTA CUSTOM HOUSE.

Secretary FOIger's refusal to Accept a
Second Bond from the Central Rail
road for ReIading.
AllusiOn was made in the MORNING
NEWS few days SINCE to the refusal OF
the Secretary of the Treasury TO accept
the bond of the Central Railroad for the
transfer of goods from Savannah to At
lanta.
Inquiry at the Central Railroad office
Yesterday morning found President Ra0ul
in total ignorance of the action of the
Secretary, and therefore unable to give
any information upon the SUBJECTIVE
paragraph showed him being the first in
timation of it he had received.
The matter only affects the port of At
lanta. The bulk of the goods imported
bv Atlanta merchants come first
to New York. There they are
transferred to the Ocean Steam
ship Company, which is under bond.
While the Ocean Steamship Company is
an institution of the Central Railroad, and
while the Central Railroad is bonded, still
it is impossible for these goods to be car
ried from New York to Atlanta in bond.
The ruling of the department is against
the acceptance of bonds for second re-
lading at Savannah.
Collector johnson, at the custom house,
expresses the opinion that the port of At
lanta is a thing of but a few months
longer, and that in his next report the
Secretary of the Treasury will recommend
its adjustment.

"Phineas Pomeroy PhiIkius."

"Phineas FOmerOy Phiikins
A fashionable audience assembled at
the theatre last evening to witness MIR. {.
3. Bishops delineatiOn Of the character
Of 'PhiIkins'' i'm the comedy of strictly
Business" The readers of the MORNING
NEWS are thoroughly acquainted with
the play, it having been performed here
last season. but a short sketch of it will
not he uninteresting. "Strictly Bust
ness" deals with NihilIsm and royalty in
Russia. subject not very popular in
this country. "Phineas POmeroy Phil
kns" is an American drummer, who
visits Europe i'm the interest of prOyi-
sion house, is strictly business, and di-
lates upon the American hog, canned
goods, lard and other commodities. "Phil-
kIns' is captivated by the charms of the
Countess Ora OranOtf,' who is the Cars
secret agent, and is known to the drum
mer as Lena SassOwitch," a Nihilist.
In order to win the love of Lena he JOINS
the assassins, and shrieks for bloOd-on
strictly business principles. Two Mill
lists identify the Countess at Geneva, lust
as she is about leaving under ''MalakOtf's'
orders. OF course she denies her identity,
and To save her life is marie to spill
kins." She then locks her lord and mas
ter in the house and makes her escape.
The telegram from ''MalakOh>' is left be-
hind in her haste to get away, and the
true condition of matters is revealed.
His immensely of cheek in placing his
wares in the Cars larder, and the rescue
of the Princess Vera, "MalakOf'so wife,
who betrayed the Countess, thinking
Ora" had won her husbands love, make
up the remainder Of the comedy.
Mr.. Bishop kept the audience III roar
with his drOlleries on ''strlctly business
principles from the rising to the lower
ing Of the curtain in each act. His man
ner of pushing his wares before the peO-
pie. and the high encOmiums upon the
American hog and the successful greas-
ing of the old world with lard, brought
down the house. When he stated that
he was reduced TO the necessity of living
on canned milk and pickles, there was up
rOariOus applause.
1t is to be regretted that there was not
a larger house 10 enjoy this tirst-class en-
tertainment. MIR. Bishop enjoys ma
tiOnal reputation as a comedian. and last
nights representation of "Philkins' is
another evidence of the fact. OF course
the whole play centres in his persOnatiOn,
but the support was excellent. Miss
Emma Pierce, as the Countess" did re-
markedly well. as did all the other men,
beers of the troupe.

made by Mr. Frank B. Lee, clerk in the
office of n. Y. c. and ii. r. K. r., Little

Mr.. Lee says: MY father has been
troubled for over 20 years with severe
kidney and bladder disease, suffering the
most acute pain when urinating. lie be-
came so bad that he was obliged to give
up all business. His condition was such
that his urine would drop constantly,
and he was obliged to use rubber bag,
the weakness was so great. He used
many kinds of medicine without deriving
any benefit, until he was urged by one OF
our druggists in Little Falls Mr.. Skin
ner) to use Hunts Remedy, as he had
known of its being used III many cases
with great success. l purchased one bot
tie, and he commenced using it, and he
was so improved that he got along with
out the rubber bag. He used in all II
bottles, and it has entirely cured him.
Father is 90 years old, and we consider 1t
a most wonderful cure, and cheertully
recommend Hunts Remedy to all atliict-
