How the Planets Talked to Virgins
His Great Anxiety for the People OF
the South-A Terrible Fate for Flor

The Canadian weather precursor, Wig
gins, has given the theory on which ne
based his predictions for the great storm
that was to have overwhelmed this eoun-
try. He said in regard to the gales that
have prevailed in the North: 'This storm
satisfies me. that the theory Of the oppo-
site tide which advanced in 1854 is cor
rect, namely. that it is caused by the VI
bratory motion of the ocean from east TO
west. If you will look at a terrestrial
globe and see the peculiar position OF the
Gulf Of Mexico and the tendency OF Cape
st. ROGUE TO glance northward, the tides

alarm when observing that the moons

one element was lacking TO have

taken place at O'Clock on the meridian

The Georgia Railroad Directorv-Special
Session in Augusta.


L special meeting Of the directory Of
the Georgia Railroad was held in Augusta
on Monday. The principal matter before
the board was the capitalization of the
interest owned By the company in the
Western Railroad of Alabama. It was
resolved to capitalize this road at $1,000
600, the Georgia and Central Railroads
each holding 81, 800, 600 Of its stock, instead
OF being joint owners of the property as
before. The One-half stock viii be held by
the Georgia Railroad. the lessees
OF course drawing the dividends
as Of the other securities owned by that
company. This capitalization plan was
justified by the fact that the joint owners
had expended upon the Western RailrQad
Of Alabama over $3,000,000 in actual
money. that the road is in prime condition
and viii soon be earnGg good dividend
on the full amount of its stock. Under the
terms Of its lease. the bonded indebted
ness OF the road cannot he increased. The
stock owned by the Central Railroad can
now be used as collateral for loans, and in
every way the new plan is considered
practical and just. The Western Railroad
of Alabama will probably now be reOr-
ganized with a regular company, under
the laws Of Alabama, which can be done
without amending the charter.
