A GRAND SALUTE.

Rev. s. Geriah Lamkins, who
has been pastor of Mt. Carm.l Bap-
tist church, is no doubt one of few
progressive and deserving divinesin
this city, as s, cretary ofthe Ladies
Home Mission, correspondent sec
retary of the Baptist Association,
and secretary of the African For
elgn Mission Association of the
District Of Columbia and many
other associations of which he is a
member, has proved himselfto be a
success. He is young man who
should certainly be encouraged in
all of his enterprises. He is a
young man of ability and entains
progressive ideas far above those
who are still preaching fogyism.
On Tuesday Oct. 26th, several dis.
tlnguished divines of this city will
tender to him a complimentary ell
tertalnment at the Cadets Armory,
as will be seen by an advertise
ment in another column of this
paper.
The occasion will no doubt be a
grand one and it is hoped that the
citizens and friends of this distin
gulshed divine will attend.

TnE WORK or COUNCIL.
Aldermen Hold a Short Meeting ana
DO Lutte business.

I
All Of the Alderme9 are not yet back
from their summer outings, and not over
one-half were present al the meeting OF
Council last night. 1t was a short ses-
sion, and very little business was trans
acted. Clerk Rebarer is absent in Flor
ida and Assistant Clerk Hernandez occu-
pied the clerks desk.
The reports OF the various committees
were disposed of quickly. The residents
in the southeastern part of the city some
time ago petitioned that the water mains
on Duffy street be extended east of Aber-
corn. The matter was referred at the
Last meeting OF Council to the Water
Works Committee, and last night the
petition was granted.
A petition for permission to connect
the tracks OF the Savannah and Tybee rail-
road with those Of the Savannah, Florida
and Western railway, and to use certain
streets for that purpose, was referred to
the Committee on Streets and Lanes.
The Committee on Streets and Lanes
reported an ordinance allowing, under
certain circumstances, the encroachment
OF steps and porticos upon sidewalks.
The ordinance is amendatory 10 an ordi-
nance passed last June. 1t was with
unanimous consent passed to a second
reading, but was finally tabled and will
be taken up at the next meeting. There
IS some variance OF opinion as to the
number OF feet or sidewalk that may be
encroached upon, and it was thought best
to give the matter a more thorough in
yestigation before taking final action.
The completion of the new engine
house on Barnard street calls for the nee
essary equipment IN apparatus and men,
and Alderman Mills, Chairman of the
Fire Committee, offered a resolution au-
thorizing the committee to purchase a
new fire gong, to furnish firemen's
quarters and to appoint men to the new
station. The resolution was passed, aud
the committee will nave the station ready
for occupancy in a short time.

CENTRALS STOCK.
1t Drops a Point or So-The Louis
Vile and Nashville Deal Without
Foundation.

II Drops a Point or So-The Louis
Foundation.
Central railroad stock dropped to 9S
yesterday and closed at 991S bid and par
asked. The market was very quiet, and
comparatively few shares changed hands.
1t was stated that New York was sell
ing and that more is to be offered from
that source.
The talk about Louisville and Nashville
having purchased a controlling interest
in the stock is regarded as without any
foundation, and that there will be a
change in the management on Sept. as
simply rot. A paper at Atlanta printed
some such stuff yesterday, but the Wild
eyed reporter who wrote 1t and the cred
ulous man who edited it can hardly know
anything about the Central and its affairs
Even if the Louisville and Nashville had
obtained a controlling interest IN the stock
and there is no reason to suppose that
IL has--it is not easy to see how there
could be a change in the management of
the road on Sept. l, in view of the fact
that the election Of officers does not take
place until next January.
One OF the best informed OF the Centra's
directors said yesterday that about the
last thing that the Louisville and
Nashville would he likely to do would be
to obtain control Of the Central. II New
York is selling as reported, 1t is fair to
presume that the entire upward move
ment in CentraPs stock has been caused
by the purchase OF shares by those who
thought the stock about as good an in
yestment as is offered at the present
time

mont. At the Lake Butler end the graders
have nearly reached Oakland. About
800 men are at work on the line. The
side tracks at Tavares are now covered
with cars loaded with rails.
There is a growing belier in railroad
circles both East and w that the time
has come when uniform rate OF &c. per
mile per passenger. carried a short or
long distance, should be established and
lived up to by all roads, and that such
tickets at that rate should be open to all
the commercial man, the shipper, the
farmer or his sons and daughters-and
that there should be no more tomfoOlery
which requires man to sign his name to
the ticket on which he travels.
On the railroads in Northern Italy the
tickets are being used for advertising
purposes. To the back is attached little
pocbetbook containing sheet OF very thin
paper. This is covered with advertise
ments of hotels, theatres and places of

charge is 40f. for each of these divisions,
a circulation of 10000 copies being guar
anteed, and as the spaces are eagerly
being taken the railroads derive an in

arch Is from 100 to ITO feet above the floor,
and the width is about 10 feet. Through
this vast passage the waters of the creek
