from copper cylinder through ordinary gas

In Shape To Do Fast Running.

A special train over the Indianapolis e. ST.
Louis road yesterday, carrying a number Of
general passenger agents to the Cleveland meet
ing made the run from ST. Louis to indianapolis
in six hours and twenty-one minutes, the time
lost in making twenty stops at railroad crossings
and county seats to be deducted which makes
the average speed fifty enc and half miles per
hour. Now that the /. g. St L..
and the Decline proper are in shape to
admit of high nate of speed
both in road-bed and equipments, it seems to be
an opportune time for this road, in connection
with the Lake Shore, the New York Central
and the Boston & Albany to assume the
aggressive and make as good time as do their
competitors. A time schedule based thirty
six miles per hoar will land passenger
who leaves St Louis at p NJ
in New York at 7:30 A. M. the second
morning, and IN Boston at $40 P. NJ, and return
ing trains should make equally good time d.

LIVELY F'REIG HIT WAR ON THE
CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER.

The Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway Refuse n Connection with the
Central Line OF Steamers-WagOn
Trains Put on at HutohinsOn's Land
inR-Further Developments Looked
FOr--GenerRl Railroad Gossip.
The war in freights on the Chattahoo-
chez river is developing some interesting
features. The Central line OF boats has
taken hand and the fight is now triangu-
lar.
1t appears, according to statements
made in Columbus, that the Savannah.
Florida and Western railroad has refused
any connection with the Central line of
boats at Bainbridge. In order to meet
this, the Central has established through
rates on cotton and other treights from
Hutchinson's landing on Flint river.
This is point opposite Quincy and Talla-
hassee and wagon trains have been put
on the road between these points and
Hutchinson's landing. In order TO
bring cotton to Columbus from
that section they give rate OF 10
cents per bale, or 2 cents per hum
dred, on all cotton consigned to Column
bus from Hutchlnson's landing. In order
to still further invade what the Savannah,
Florida and Western, and the Florida
Railway and Navigation company con-
ceive to be their territory, they have
offered through rates of 10c. per hundred
on all cotton from Hutchinson's landing
to New York, Philadelphia and other
eastern points. They also give through
bills of lading on all general merchandise
of 15c. per hundred, to and from the same
points. This looks like fighting in earnest,
but the effects and results are yet to be
seen.

are running entirely independent of the
other, will do in regard to this cut, is not
yet developed. In the meantime, both
lines continue to carry cotton down the
river-the one to cambridge, and the
other to Chattahoochee,

THE OPERA
'BOccaCoiO' Admirably Sung by the
Academy Company.

"BOCcaOoioF' Admirably Sung by the
Academy Company.
The audience that witnessed "Boccac-
cio' at the theatre last night was GER
tainly not disappointed with the perform
ance. The majority, were perhaps, agree
ably surprised at the excellent style in
which the always pleasing opera was
given. The house was well filled down
stairs, but the presentation really merited
a much larger audience. Sizing up the
company and the performance as a whole,
they were equal TO the best that Savannah
has seen for a long time. The company
was well balanced, and richly dressed.
Miss JEANNE Winston was in good
voice and spirits, and her E'BoccacciO''
won the favor and aroused the enthusiasm
of her hearers. There is something in
Miss WinstOn's singing and acting which,
while not highly brilliant, is charming
and very taking. Her voice is perfectly
controlled, and is better cultivated than
IL was few years ago.
Miss Louise Searle is quite pretty. and
sang with much expression and sweet
ness. During her duet with Miss Winston
one OF the audience evidently became
so deeply interested that he forgot the
surroundings and sighed audibly. The
spectators roared, and the kissing song
had to be temporarily interrupted. Miss
Annie Meyer was plump and pleasing
Isabella. George Appleby made good
'Pietro," and sang his tenor score credit
ably. Walter Allen was capital
Cooper, and was highly amusing. He is
one Of the really good comedians. Arthur
Bell, as the "Grocer," and Miss Rose
leighton, as "PeroRella," came in for
their share OF applause.
The chorus is large and thoroughly
trained. Mr.. Adam Itzel, Jr., the youth
full musical director, deserves credit for
the fine playing OF the orchestra. The
young leader is a graceful composer, and
is the author Of the score adapted to Full
tons new opera sack Shepard" which
was recently brought out and proved a
success.
"The Princess Of Trebizonde," a popu-
lar opera, adapted from the French, will
be given tonight.

UNDER A SERIOUS CHARGE.
Felix Matthews on Trial for AssaultinG
Old Mrs. ScanIan.


The case against Felix Matthews, the
negro charged with assaulting and at
tempting to rob old Mrs. Julia Seaman,
was called in the Superior Court yester-
day. The defendant was represented by
j. Randolph Anderson, ESQ.
The assault was committed Saturday
night, Aug. 10, 1886. Mrs. Scanlon had
just returned from the public market,
where she kept stand and sold chickens,
eggs, etc. As she entered the gate OF her
yard on President street, between Whita-
ker and Barnard. a negro sprang from
behind a tree, threw her down, and at
tempted to take the money out of her
pocket. The mouth OF the pocket was
pinned, and the negro drew a knife and
cut the pocket open. He had an accom-
plice, but the latter only stood by. Mrs.
Scanlon's cries attracted the attention
Of Barkis Dawson, respect
able old cOlored man, who was walking
through Telfair place. Dawson ran to
the assistance OF Mrs. Scanlan. The ne
gro who was standing over the old mar
ket woman turned upon Dawson when
he came up. The accOmplice fled and
was not identified. When Dawson tried
to drive the highwayman off he assaulted
the old man and cut him in the hand.
Early the next morning Felix Mat
thews was seen lettering around the spot
where the ARRAY occurred the night be-
fore. Dawson saw Matthews and recog-
nized him. and as there was no policeman
near, Dawson tried to follow Matthews.
The latter thought he was being spotted
and got out of Davison's sight. Later in
the morning Dawson found him In liv-
cry stable on Broughton street, and had
him arrested. When arraigned before the
Mayor, Matthews attempted to prove an
alibi. Dawson then positively identified
him. Yesterday his counsel stated that
he would try to show that Matthews was
not near the place where the assault oc-
CURED on the night it happened. One of
the important witnesses for the defendant
is said to be in Fulton county, and post
ponement was asked until the witness
can be summoned. Judge Adams granted
the request and reasslgned the case for
Friday, Dec. Is.
Matthews is also indicted for assaulting
and attempting to kill Dawson.
