To be Taken to Milledseville.

Daniel O'Donaghue, upon whom an in
quest of lunacy was held in the court Of
ordinary, has boon adjudged insane. 1t was
a very pathetic scene, as his sister, his only
relative, who was dependent upon him for
support, told the sad story of her brother s
mental alteration. She said that he had al
ways been most affectionate and kind to her,
and for years they had lived together, dur
ing which time he had never spoken in an
angry tone to her, but that Of late he would
express the deepest affection for any one he
met, and would look coldly and with sus-
picion upon her. His insanity was thor
oughly established. What led to the pro-
ceedings in the court Of ordinary was the
discovery of Donaghue lighting matches and
distributing them about the house where be
lived. The friends Of his sister hope that
his case may yield to treatment at the
asylum. He was a laborer in the employ Of
the Savannah, Florida and Western rail-
way, and was an Industrious man.

A Startling Sensation

Is being produced in all who read as they
run. Savannah is fast getting to be in every
sense of the word, metropolitan city.
Take drive through the city; visit the
site of the new hotel, new court house, now
postoffice, see the new residences springing
up all over our beautiful city; think Of Lib
srty street as it has been and as it will be.
Dream Of that new shell road, that is actu-
ally under way to Isle OF Hope. Consult
your broker about that new railroad deal,
and then and there visit the Art and Sta
tionery Department OF Ludden ~ Bates
Southern Music House, and If you don't
find there evidences of prosperous city,
we don't know where you will. All the new
styles in Stationery, and at such astonish-
ingly low prices, Artists Materials of every
kind, Picture Frames, from the smallest
cabinet to the largest Gold Frames for
choice Oil Paintings. Pictures from - cents

FEW ELECTION BETS.
The Result Too Clearly Seen for Betting
Men to Waste Money.

Inc Result 100 SlSarly seen LOT beCClnR
Men to Waste Money.
There seems to be very little money going
up here on the result of the presidential
election. A MORNING NEWS reporter tried
very industriously to hunt down some
heavy wegers last night, but 800 was the
highest heard of. The republicans do not
seem as confident as they were four years
ago, and are not disposed to take any risky
chances. There are quite a number of
small bets ranging from IS to S25, but it is
hard to find any one anxious to put up
small sum even on the republican candi-
dates.
One offer of an enthusiastic Cleveland
man of $50 to S25 failed to find a taker
The offer was made in a Broughton street
cigar store, ana grew out of an animated
political discussion, in which the gentleman
who wants to see the man from Indiana
elected, offered to bet $25 that Harrison
would carry the day, but when he was
taken up, and was even offered odds OF two
to one, he declined to invest his money in
that way.
Betting men among the democrats seem
inclined to bet on either New York, Indiana,
or the general result, but beyond an occa-
sional wager for a small amount, the result
of heated party discussion, there seem to be
no pools sold on the election.

TALK OF THE TRACKS.
Railroad Affairs in Which Savannah
Is Interested.


There are rumors of important railroad
movements in this city. One of them is to
the effect that the Central railroad will at
once put down track on River street
from Mcclure street to Bull street. From
this it would appear that the railroad com
pany has decided to accept the conditions
prescribed by the city authorities when
they granted the privilege to build the road,
viz: that it should extend along the entire
wharf front.
Another rumor Is to the effect that q rail
road company, supposed to be the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia, is me-
gotiating for terminal facilities in this city
and is looking toward the Deptford planta-
ton as the proper place for its wharves.
The Savannah and Tybee Railway Com
pany directors have lately held number of
meetings, and there have also been several
meetings of the holders Of the bonds of that
company. While there is nothing definite
known as to what is being done By either
the company or its creditors, it is generally
believed that an effort is being made to
have a receiver appointed and the railroad
sold.
A director stated yesterday that the
affairs Of the company will be Strengthened
out in one way or another at an early day,
so as to give ample time for thorough re-
organization early next year. The gentle
man thought it very probable that the rail-
road will pass into new hands, possibly
some of the large railway corporations.
He also said that it will take at least
$50, 900 to complete the road and put it in
good working condition, that is. give it its
own depot, engines, cars, etc.
The Belt Line people are waiting patiently
for the Savannah, Florida and Western
railway to put in the steel crossings at Estill
avenue, so that they can run cars to Keis-
ling's. The iron bridge across the track at
Habersham street will be completed in
about a month.
Nothing has been heard lately from Col.
Fry's Atlanta, Atlantic and Great Western
railroad. President Fry and the secretary
of the corporation went north two months
ago to sign the mortgage bonds of the COM
pany, but nothing has been heard from them
since,

TO BRING CORN SOUTH.
A Movement to Export Corn Through
Savannah.


General Freight Agent Whitehead, of the
Central railroad, was asked yesterday if he
had anything new to communicate regard
ing the expors of grain from Savannah,
and he talked very much as If 'old Hutch, "
who cornered the wheat market at Chicago,
has so uns settled matters that there has
teen very little chance TO push matters in
the line of grain export from here, and the
utilization of the extensive grain elevator
the Central as on its wharves. Maj.
Whitehead thinks, however, that Savan-
nah must eventually be a large grain e1-
D .rtng city, and he expects when corn be-
gins to move in December that tonnage can
be obtained here and that western corn
will be brought here for export The
MORNING NEWS has also learned tn
prominent merchant on the Bay will be in
Chicago this week, and that part of his
business is to see if arrangements can be
made to start the export of corn through
Savannah.
Mai. Whitehead was asked how the freight
traffic on the Central is, and he said that
fre.gn.s are picking up. The week of
ffe,IttS very materially cut down receipts in
til. aggregate since the opening of the cotton
season, aud by comparison with the CORE
spending time last year the cotton receipts
are hort. but he thinks that Savannah will
get more cotton this season than last, for he
says cotton Is late and receipts are short at
other points. The additional territory that
the Central has to draw from this year,
Maj. Whitehead anticipates, VIII result in
inc. eased receipts over last season.

Downing for Two Nights.

Friday and Saturday nights and at Satur-
days matinee, Robert Downing, Savan-
nah's favorite young tragedian, and strong
company viii be the attraction. Downing
never fails to play before big audiences in
Savannah. He played "Virginiusn in Bir-
mingham Thursday night, and the Herald
says this Of the performance: "Those who
went expecting 20 see Mr.. Downing give a
performance not equal to what has been
seen here before, were very much mistaken.
From MIR. Downing's first appearance on
the stage he is a wonder to those who have
seen Others as 'Virginius,' and to the uninl-
tlated Is indeed a revelation. His concep-
ton of 'Nirginius' is unlike that of any
other actor who has ever played the part,
and in its difference TO that of other actors
lies large part Of its strength and attrac-
tlveness or the company which surrounds
Mr.. Downing, nothing but praise can be
said

FOR INJURIES TO HER SON.
Mrs Waldhauer Wants $4,000 from
the City and Suburban hallway.

the City and Suburban hallway.
A suit has been filed in the city court
against tie City ana Suburban Railway
Company for $4,000 damages. David
Waldhauer, by his next friend, Jane P.
Waldhauer, brings the suit through his
counsel, Messrs. Clifton s. Beckwith. The
suit is for damages alleged to have been sus-
tanned by plaintiff, VINO was run over by q
car on the Whitaker street line, at South
Broad and Whitaker streets, on Christmas
day, last year. The boy. who is a son of
Mrs. Waldhauer, and about z years of age,
was riding avelOcipede when the car struck
him. He was badly injured at the time,
having his left thigh and right leg crushed
and his right ear cut through. His life was
despaired of at the time, but after
having his broken limbs kept
in plaster mould for three
months the fractured bones knit and the
boy recovered, and is apparently as well as
before the accident, without any malforma-
ton which usually accompanies such in
juries as the lad sustained. DR.. Elliott
treated him, and he is one of the principal
witnesses in the case.
There was considerable indignation among
those who witnessed the accident, and the
colored driver taking fright, lost control of
the horses, and jumping from tie car made
his escape, fearing that some violence would
be visited upon him for the accident
