The Gulf Storm supposed to Have
Broken Up at sea.
Last nights weather bulletin brought
good news, ia that it brought no news of
ANY cyclonic storm. TEenty-four hours
before one was reported east Of Havana,
but it disappeared during the night. 1t
probably broke up at sea. That disposed
pOt the last storm IN sight, and this section
.js tolerably certain ofescaping the annual
blow for few days longer.
The atmosphere was rare all over the
United States last night. At most points
the barometer was nearly stationary
during the day. The wind was light
Everywhere in the United States, except
at Mobile, where there was thunder
storm and the wind was blowing % miles
an hour.
Yesterday was a little warmer than its
predecessor, although the minimum was
about the same. To-day is likely to
be still warmer, although the
thermometer may be kept down
by local causes, such as local rain or a
cloudy sky. the seaside resort weather
of the last few days is gradually getting
back TO the starting point, 80 in the shade.
The only places where such weather lasts
more than week are all advertising tor
more summer boarders.
If the mercury's ambition fer this sea-
son Is satisfied, and If It will not 20 above
SO any more, the mountain and seaside
hotels will soon be closing up,

A DECLINE IN CENTRAL.

Big Demand for the stock at Par
Rumors on Change.
There was drop in Central yesterday
from 1914 to 100. The market was unset
tied, aud closed at 102. The stock was
eagerly taken at 100, and considerable
was bought at l01. Between 800 and AGO
shares changed hands at par. A good
many small shareholders are holding on,
hoping that 1t will go up again.
The principal reason for the decline
was the large amount Of stock that WAS
on the market Saturday, causing down
ward movement. The stock that changed
hands yesterday was mostly bought here
A gentleman who is we'll posted in
stock movements said that he believes
yet that Central will 90 higher even than
it has ever been since 1.-The great BOOM"
There was a rumOr that the Louisville
and Nashville is about to get control OF
the road, but the rumor, like most others,
lacked confirmation and goes for what it
il worth. There is still a good deal OF
talk about outsiders trying to get con-
trolling interest.
A gentleman who has given the matter
some attention said that it looks a,
though there is some foundation for the
rum0r, but he has not been able to satisfy
himself fully thai such a move is on foot.
The number of shares that have been sold
here is estimated as high as 1900. Some
say that the number is even greater.

1t is not likely, says the Telegraph, that
Macon will have any base ball next sea-
son. The few who have contributed
money toward sustaining the club the
current season are quite emphatic in say
ing that they will step aside for a new
issue of pocketbooks. There are many
who say that unless there is a sufficient
fund subscribed to keep a team, employ a
good manager, and stand the loss of few
slim audiences they will not contribute
any more. The present board of directors
nave borne the brunt OF the latter days
of the struggle, and they deserve all
credit for it. To ask them for further as .
sistauce would be crowdng them. Thus
it remains to be seen whether Macon will
have base ball next season.

Connections at Birmingham

1t IS well understood that the extension
of the Columbus and Western road to
Birmingham is in accordance with con-
tract with the Central and the Memphis,
Birmingham and Atlantic to build from
Birmingham to Memphis. This gives
direct connection from savannah via
Columbus, Birmingham and Memphis to
Kansas City, with only two railroad syS-
tens, and makes the shortest ne from
Kansas City to New York.
Birmingham has never undertaken to
build railroad on her own account, but
this is soon to have an Innovation. A
charter has been secured, incorporation
papers filed, and surveynT5 ere soon TO be
put on the road. The terminal points are
to be Mobile and Dalton, Ga.

The Columbus and western Extension.

There are no new developments, says
the Enquirer-Sun, so far as the extension
of the Columbus and Western road is con-
cerned, this owing to the fact that every
thing has already been developed. Mr..
Dabney. chief engineer, has finished the
preliminary surveys and is now making
up his estimates. Until this is done, the
route from Sylacauga to Birmingham can
not be selected. 1t is presumed that thus
will be done in a day or two and the loca-
tion of the line will be made at once.
Active preparations for the cOastruc-
tion of the road are being made. Mr..
Wadley is now transferring his large force
OF hands and the construction equipments
from South Carolina to this point. He
will not be able to do the entire work as
soon as desired, hence contracts for part
of the work will be let out. This will
likely be done as soon as the line is To-
Gated.

A CHILD Brutality BEATEN.
4 ColOred Woman's Ill Treatment
,Of a little SeYen-Year Old Girl.

A CoIored Woman's Ill Treatment
'of a little Seyen-Year Old Girl.
Eady Am Houston, a colored woman,
was committed to Jail yesterday by Mag
istrate Molina tor i'll treating a little col
ored girl. The woman is employed as a
servant in a Taylor street family The
cbild is about seven years old and was
placed in the wOman's care by relatives.
The woman claims to be the child's aunt
and has had the maintenance OF her for
ABOUT IA wear. One day last week the
little one was left in the house alone, and
according to the wOman's story stole
some bread. The woman took strap
and stripping the child beat her across
the back until the flesh was cut deep and
in some places the gashes hung open.
1t was several days before the matter be-
came known.
On Saturday another aunt OF the child
discovered her condition and reported the
case. The Houston woman was arrested
Yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Hunter, and
was committed TO Jail for trial in the
City Court. The Offense, bad as it is, is in
law only amisdemeanor, and the extreme
penalty is twelve months imprisonment.
The woman saws that the child had boils
when she whipped her, and that the cuts
are deeper because of them. Her admis-
sion of This increases the brutality of the
case. The child's name is Minnie Carter.
Her father is living, but the child has
been taken care OF by relatives. The case
is pitiable one, and the woman will
hardly fail to receive the punishment that
she deserves.
The little girl has evidently been ill.,
treated all her lite. On one cheek is an
ugly looking scar made by another aunt
in whose keeping she was in Carolina.
The woman put her IN bag to keep her
from kicking, and tied a stocking over
her eyes. and then held Goals against her
cheek until the flesh was burned almost
to the bone.
