Gould Res ching South.

1t is stated upon very reliable authority
in Chattanooga, says the Times, that Jay
Gould, who spent several days in Men,
phis last week, has officially announced
the fact that he will at once build a line
from some point on the Iron Mountain
road to Hickman, KY, where it Will con-
meet with the Nashville, Chattanooga and
st. Louis railway, whereby the Gould
system will secure a direct outlet to the
south and Southeast.
Mr.. Gould has lelt the necessity Of
such an outlet for a long time and es-
pecially since the Kansas City, Fort Scott
and Gulf railroad invaded his territory,
and by means OF shorter route captured
a great deal of business from the South
west, which had hitherto been mOnopO-
lied by the Gould lines. BY the build
ing OF the proposed line he will obviate
the necessity OF transfer Of freight now
being made at Columbus, Kv., to Union
City over the Mobile and OHIO railroad.
President and General 81 anagerThomas,
of the Nashville and Chattanooga rail-
way, was telegraphed for and went to
Memphis, where he had a long conference
with the great railroad magnate. He in-
formed Maj. Thomas that he proposed
building a line from Charleston, Mo-, on
the Iron Mountain line, to Hickman, to
connect the two systems if the necessary
arrangements could be made. The
matter was held under advise
ment by President Thomas for two
days. when he informed Mr. Gould that
the Nashville and Chattanooga would be
glad to affiliate with the Gould system,
and the deal was at once completed. The
distance from Hickman to Charleston is
about 30 miles, and it is said the line will
be completed by June. The building of
the link will give the Nashville and Chat
tanOoga road a fine and direct route to
Kansas CitV

GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS.
The Marietta and North Georgia to
be Prominent in the Legislature.

be Prominent in the Legislature.
An Atlanta special says that the indl-
cations are that the Marietta and North
Georgia railroad matter will be promi-
nent, not only IN the courts, but in the
Legislature. Since the publication OF the
injunction suit the discussion Of the mer-
it's of the question has taken wide ana
general range. Friends of the railroad
company claim that it undoubtedly mas
equitable claims against the State. upon
which the resolution OF the last Leglsla-
ture was based, and that the supreme
Court has so decided.
The State gave the road a certain num-
Der of cOnvict5 with which 70 complete
the road, and subsequently took them
away. 1t is further set up in this con-
nectiOn that the present constitution IN
it's Introduction of State aid to railroads
makes an exception in favor OF the Ma
rietta and North Georgia railroad, in
which the States concession was already
in operation. The opposition takes the
view that the State is under no obligation
whatever to the Marietta and North
Georgia road and that the aid proposed
by the legislative resolution is a gratuity
and donation to the road, and therefore
unconstitutional.
1t is alleged that the managers of the
road, with some apprehension on this
point, have hurried up the completion of
the road TO the North Carolina line, so as
to get all the benefit of the position that
they mad complied with the conditions
imposed by the legislative resolution, and
now have vested rights under it.

panions.

panions.
A rumor was current in sporting circles
yesterday that Jack Dempsey, the noted
prize fighter, was In the city ana was to
meet another fighter in a ring near Macon
to-day.
Early in the afternoon the self-alieged
Dempsey called at the MORNING NEWS
Office and volunteered some Information
about himself and the tight he thought he
was going to have. He looked TO be about
80 years Old, was smooth shaver and
OF lair physique. When some doubt
was expressed about his name being
Dempsey, be wanted to break board
with his fist or knock out partition or
library case or something Of that kind TO
show his muscle. He was assured that
there was no doubt about his being able
TO hit hard, and he was requested not to
experiment on the door panels. He
claimed that Richard X. Fox, the New
York sport and publisher of the inGamma-
ton colored Police Gazette, was backing
him. and that they were both stopping at
the Marshall House under assumed
names.
Dempsey said that his opponents name
is Howard. During the day Dempsey
called on lawyer and asked MIN to wit
ness the hght. The attorney was willing.
but wanted good fee, whereupon the pu-
gilist remarked that he would call again.
VINO the man is could not be learned, but
it 10 quite certain that he is not Jack
Dempsey. the champion mldde-weight.
He il thought 10 be originally from
New York or Brooklyn, and probably
knows Dempsey and other lighters.
Some acquaintance, whom he has
made, think thai he is q steamboat
engineer from Florida. He is known TO
have been In the city since sunday.

TEACHING NEGRO GIRLS.
THE BISHOP HAVEN INDUS
TRIAL HOME AND SCHOOL.

An Institution Supported by the
WOman's Home Mission Society OF the
Methodist Church-Wh At 1t Is Accom-
plishinS in savannah Some People
Who Have Contributed to Its support.
In February, 1882, a small mission
school, for the education of colored girl
children, was started at the Asbury
Methodist church (colored), under the
auspices OF the Woman's Home Mission
Society, whose headquarters are at Gin
cinnati, and OF which Mrs. Rutherford b.
Hayes is President. The school pros
pered, and in a short time it became
necessary to secure more room in order to
accommodate the pupils who wished to
enter.
The old Montmollin house and grounds
near Laurel Grove cemetery were pur-
chased and the school was moved there
in April OF last year. The house and
grounds both were at this time in very
dilapidated condition, ard TO put them in
proper shape involved considerable out
lay. Not including the price paid for
this property, 900 have been spent
during the past two years in repairs and
Improvements. This money was raised
by the Woman's Home Mission Society,
the greater part being private contrlbu-
tions.
SOME OF THE PATRONS.
Mrs. John F. Milestone, Of Cincinnati,
donated 1000, ana in consideration or
this she was allowed the privilege of
naming the school. she called it 1.-The
Haven Industrial Home and school," in
honor OF Bishop Gilbert Haven, of Massa-
chusetts, who for Il long time took an
active interest in the education OF the
colored people. Mrs. Priscilla l.. Bennett,
of Pennsylvania, and Mrs. Fanny Speer, of
Louisville, KY, each gave $500, and each
had school room named after them.
Mira. Palm, of PhiladelDhia, a sister OF
Jay Gould, contributed a large sum and
named room after her son w alter Gould
Palm. Every room in the house is named
after some person or society, the name
being put up over the door. A great
many rooms also have another name just
inside and over the door. n contribution
of 500 entitled the donor to have his or
her name put up on the outside, and OF
500 on the inside.
PROGRESS OF THE PUPILS.
There are thirty-four home scholars,
that is those who make their home alto
gether in the house, and an outside at
tendance of l12. The home scholars are
charged SO per month for board and tut
ton II they are able to pay it, if not the
expense is betrayed by the Woman's
Home Mission Society. Outside scholars
are charged soc. per month for tuition.
Miss Baldwin ana Miss JOlls have charge
OF the school proper.
| The course OF study in this is about the
same as in the public schools OF the city
Mrs. Lewis has charge of the home de-
par In this all the practical house,
mold arts are taught, such as cooking,
washing, ironing, sewing, etc. The whole
place presents a neat and well kept APP
pearance. The rooms are nicely ana COM
fortably furnished, and the occupants are
required TO keep them scrupulousiy clean
and in order.
The teachers seem much interested in
their work, and they say that the majority
of the scholars make very good progress.
