DORIS BIG DAY.
Some Facts Concerning the Great
Inter Ocean Show.

Some Facts Concerning the Great
InterOcean Show.
Tomorrow tue people of Savannah will
have chance to renew their acquaint-
ance with the Great Inter-Ocean Circus.
The Doris circus is so we'll known to the
people here that 1t would seem unneces-
sary to refer TO it at all, except to an
nounce it's coming. 1t comes so much
enlarged, however, and with so many
new features, that it is but right
To inform the public of its growth and
improvement, and to herald tho very i'm
pGItant fact 10 the thousands VINO have
been awaiting the arrival of the show
ana Mr.. James Robinson, the greatest
performer living, that tomorrow will
bring both.
A word as to Mr.. Robinson--a man who
has been honored the world DER. Very
lew men can lay claim to the fact that
the wOrld-meaning thereby every civil
ICED country-and their peoples, have
honOred them and paid them tribute. 1t
sometimes, though very rarely, happens
that one man more brilliant, more
commanding, and more blessed with ge-
MUS than his fellow men is thus hOnOred !;
but has perfection must be made manifest
in a high degree ere the world consents to
enroll his name on the everlasting scroll
OF lame. statesmen, diVIneS, military
geniuses and actors have been, of course,
thus hOnored, and in all these various
professions one has risen infinitely greater
tasn the rest in the acting line. This one
ls James Robinson.
His presence. as the greatest feature of
the greatest snow, should OF itself insure
a lull attendance, and speaks volumes for
It's standing. 1t is, in short, the only
show that can afford to pay the enormous
salary winch MIR. Robinson commands.
But Robinson, great as he is, Is but one
among nearly two hundred radiant stars.
| The big Doris circus brings many per-
formers of worldwide renown. 1t ranks
among it's people Miss Kittie stokes, Miss
Ella Stokes, Miss Sallle Marks,

The Marietta and North Georgia rail-
road, which is reached via the Western
and Atlantic railroad at Marietta, is
probably the only railroad in America
which, in addition to being ballasted a
portion of the way with marble, also has
Its bridge piers made of white marble.
Quite daisy" line, one would say. 1t
is also the only railroad in America, prob
ably, which runs right through gold
mine. A funny anecdote is related in this
connection OF the linemen OF the Western
Union Telegraph Company, who were
erecting telegraph poles along this road a
short time ago tor the purpose of extend
ing the telegraph line from Marietta to the
upper terminus OF the road. Arriving at
the gold mine, they were just in the act
of digging a hole for q post, when a
brusqus old cOuntryman came up and
in somewhat fcrclble manner notified
them that they could not dig in that soil,
as he had leased it. Upon explaining to
him their purpose, the countryman
agreed to a compromise, which was to
the effect that the telegraph folks were to
dig the hole and that he WAS to wash the
dirt, and that they were to divide equally
the gold therein found. The work of ex-
cayation accordingly commenced, and
within short time was done with, when
the countryman, who mad been closely
watching the procedure, remarked to the
telegraph man that the latter could "have
every durn'd bit of gold which could be
found in that dirt as he would not wash
1t for the small amount he saw would not
reward him for his pains,

GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS.
Matters of Money and Management
About Various Lines.


The Charlotte Harbor and Gulf City
Railroad Company has been organized
with a capital stock of $3.50, 900, with $20, :
600 to be paid in, and balance held as re-
serve fund. This road is to run from
Charlotte Harbor to Grove City OH Kettle
Harbor, Fla. The $4,000 will equip and
build the entire road.
A called meeting of the Board of Direc-
tors Of the Atlanta and Hawkinsville rail-
road was held in Atlanta Friday. 1t was
found that money enough had been raised
to grade and cr0sstie the road. The sub
scriptions will be increased somewhat
and then work win be begun. The direc-
kors expect to complete the road by Sept.
l, 1887.
Two spans OF the new iron bridge have
been put in place on the Macon and Cow
ington road, across the Ocmulgee river.
The aggregate length of the spans amount
to $40 feet, and the remainder will be rap
idly put in place. The road Is now run
ming 20 Clinton, and Col. FrObell says tn at
if they had the iron he would run to Mon
ticelO in fifteen days. He says the peo-
pie in that region are almost beside them
selves with impotence, they want to see
tho road come so bad.
The Washington Chronicle saws: "It is
probable that Capt. Harry Hill will yet
build the White Plains railroad. While
IT. is not case for any outside interior
ence, the opinion is general that the
White Plains people should have made
more liberal terms with him, the more es-
pecially when he had shouldered IL heavy
debt for their benefit. Negotiations are
now pending which, it is thought, Will
again put him in charge of the enterprise
and enable him to carry it to completion"

The Man for thePIace

The Roadmasters' ASSOCIATION of Amer
lea, which held its fourth annual meeting
at st. Louis last week, elected Capt. j, W.
Craig, Roadmaster of the Charleston and
Savannah railway, President of the asso-
citation for the ensuing year. At the third
annual meeting held at Chicago last year
Capt. Craig WAS elected First Vice Presi-
dent of the association by very compli-
mentary vote, the object being to have an
able and energetic representative from the
South. His promotion now to the Pres1-
dency is still greater compliment to
his executive and professional ability,
and the fact that he has been chosen as
the head of such an important associa-
ton, containing as it does about 235 men,
hers, from every part of the country, is a
compliment OF which Capt. Craig may
justly feel proud. He has taken an active
interest in the affairs of the association
and being in every way thorough rail-
road man, is the man for the place to
which he has been chosen. Capt. Craig's
friends in Savaunah-both among rail-
road men and cItizens-will hear with
pleasure the announcement Of the honor
which has been conferred upon him.

ACTORS IN THE STRAITS.
THE LILLIAN LEWIS COMPANY
UNDER A CLOUD.

Bad Management and Poor Business the
Cause of Its Troubles-Four Weeks
without Salaries-Miss Lewis Story
An EGort to ReOrganize the Company.
The dramatic company which played
"rhe Creole" at the Theatre Thursday and
Friday nights and at yesterdays matinee
is IN financial straits. 1t was booked to
play in Milledgeville tomorrow night, but
the engagement is cancelled. Poor man
agement and worse business are assigned
as the causes OF the trouble by the men,
oers OF the company. The company was
engaged by Mir. p. 5. Mattox, young
man OF 10, who has managerial aspira-
tions and a wealthy grandfather.
At the head Of the east is MISS Lillian
Lewis, very pretty actress and highly
talented, one With metropolitan reputa-
tion. MIR. Cyril Searle, an actor and play
writer, who is known all over this cOun-
try and England, joined the company two
weeks ago. 1t had then been playing
five weeks.
WHO ARE IN THE COMPANY.
Mr.. Marlande Clarke, formerly a men,
Der OF Henry Irving's company, Miss
Florence Bavard, Miss Ruth Graham,
and Theodore Foster were the other men,
bers. Taken ali through, the company
was good one, and deserved better audi
ences than it got. The first three weeks
1t was out il played TO p guarantee and
crowded houses in Boston and Philadel-
pbla. Salaries were paid promptly, but
the fourth week none WAS forthcoming,
and none has been since.
Mr.. MattoX mad gone ahead as advance
agent and dozens OF kilograms were sent
after him asking tor back salary. Unfor
tunately for the company, the backing
when before they started the manager
represented TO them he had, did not ma
terialize. Playing against two circuses
for month left the receipts at the box
office very low, and upon reaching Sa-
vannah the company decided TO go no far
Their until back salary is paid.
PLAYING WITHOUT SALARY.
Although the members had no hopes of
getting 1T here, their engagement was
honorably kept. They were not booked
to play last night.
Miss Lewis stated that she was not in
terested in the company to any greater
extent than her salary and reputation.
She added that the company will reor-
ganlze in few days, add some new peo-
pie, and will start out under new mana
ger.
Other members of the company lay the
blame on Mr.. MattoX, whom they say took
them out without any money TO back him.
