NEW ROADS TO FLORIDA.
Progress of Work on the Georgia
Southern and Florida.

southern ana Florida.
General Manager Lane of the Georgia
Southern and Florida railroad was in the
city yesterday. Work on the road, he said,
is being rapidly pushed toward Valdosta,
which will be reached about Dec. 1. At
present trains are running from Macon no
further south than Triton, a point on the
Brunswick and Western railroad at which
the Georgia Southern and Florida crosses.
ffMr. Lane ssaid that he is running two
passenger and two freight trains daily to
Triton, and by Dec. Is the trains will be
running to Valdosta, a distance of 152
miles. When Valdosta is reached the road
will be the shortest line by rs miles from
Macon to that section of the state. The
work Of extending the line south to Palatka
via Jasper and Lake City will be vigorously
pushed, and Mr.. Lane said that within
two months he thought the line will be COM
plete from Macon to Palatka, a distance of
of 2S5 miles. The line will be almost direct
from Macon to Florida, and will be at least
fifty miles shorter than any line leading
into Florida. Mr.. Lane said that the road
is being built principally by Macon capital
lists. and that their whole time and energy
is directed toward its progress and COM
pletion. 1t will open up new country in
which the timber has never been touched.
ALREADY along the line not less than twenty
saw mills have been put up, MIR. Lane said,
land before next season there will be a saw
mill on every five miles of the road. Those
that are completed are running on full time
and are doing an enormous business. They
are great feeders to the road, and we are
taxed just at present to transport their
lumber as rapidly as they want it handled
There are between twelve and fifteen tur-
pentine stills along the road that are doing
a large business, and we excect an increase
in stills as the road is completed, in proper
ton to the increase of sawmills."
Mr.. Lane said that Cordele is the busiest
place in that part Of the state. A S25 900
brick block is going up there Soon bank,
with capital of $50, 600, will be opened. In
addition TO this, other and greater improve
ments are going on, and they are giving an
impetus to that section hat is almost phe-
nomenal
"Our road has the credit of CARRYING more
people into Macon during the fair" said
Mr.. Lane, "than any other road running
into Macon" Mr.. Lane explained that the
people along the line of the Georgia South
ern and Florida who had never seen a rail-
road train before, awaited themselves of the
low rates and went to the fair. Mr.. Lane
is jubilant over the success which the line
has met with so far, and he says that the
people of Macon are thoroughly in earnest
In their efforts to make the road one Of the
best in the south.

great convenience, however, if the stone
pavement on the south side of that street
could be extended to East Broad street.

80 Days" in Two Hours and Half
Around the World in so Days" had,
beyond question, the biggest house of the
season last night The galleries were packed,
and parquet and dress circle were crowded
from the stage to the wall. 1t is not often
that such an audience is seen on such a
night as last night was. The greater part of
the audience took to the show and laughed
and applauded by turns. The play is not
one that requires great deal Of dramatic
ability, and not great deal was displayed
Its principal features are spectacular. The
scenery is bright, fresh and at
tractive. The ballet corps is one
of the features of the performance. w. j.
Fleming as "Phineas Fogg," Alfred VOL
fred as "Passe Partout," his servant, and
Jonas 2. Fleming as John Archibald, /" the
American; were the principal characters
and were we'll acted. The spectacular feat
ures were well arranged and the performance
moved very smoothly. Allin all, "Around
the World in Eighty Days" was success.
1t will be repeated tonight.

DIR. DEvAN TO LEAVE HERE.
DR.. 8. D. Brooks of Wilmington, N. Q.
His Successor at Savannah.

DR.. g. D. Brooks of Wilmington, N. O.,
His Successor at Savannah.
DR.. Spencer G. Devan, marine hospital
surgeon, will leave for Washington Dec. l,
having been relieved here by DIR. s. D.
Brooks of Wilmington, N. G. DR.. Devan
has made many friends in Savannah since
he has been located here, and his removal,
while it will carry with it promotion to a
more responsible post, will be received with
unfeigned regret.
DIR. Devan has been the supply agent of
the infected districts of Florida during the
prevalence of the yellow fever there, and
his conduct of the office has been marked by
a zeal and fidelity which has reflected credit
upon himself and honor to the profession.
Very shortly after his assignment to
this post, the yellow fever became epidemic
in Florida, aud Surgeon-General Hamilton,
reposing helutmost confidence in DIR. Devan,
assigned to him the delicate task of filling
the requirements for the infected districts
This he did faithfully, and when the cpl
dsmic was at its hight, the demands upon
him we're so great that it requiredi his serv-
ices day and night, which were I'M
grudgingly given.
DR. Devan has seen wide and varied ex-
perience. He was surgeon of the relief ex-
petition that made the polar researches
leading to the rescue OF the Inflated men,
bers Of the Jeanette expedition in Arctic
seas. He was assigned to Savannah last
spring and has since made many friends,
who, parting with him reluctantly, solace
themselves with the hope that in his trans
fer a worthy promotion follows him in his
removal from Savannah.

A telegram to the MORNING NEWS from
Utica, n. Y, states that George E. Mat
thews, while temporarily insane, committed
suicide there yesterday by cutting his throat
with razor.
There is history connected with the
affair. Matthews came here from Phila-
delphia, and being a horseman and trainer,
took charge of NJ. j. Doyle's horses After
ward he bought out an interest in a livery
stable at Randolph and South Broad
streets from Mr.. Terrell. Last spring
DE left Savannah with jennie
Goldizer, woman who then lived at No. IS
South Broad street, under the following
circumstances:
Matthews was arrested upon the com
plalnt of his wife for illicit relations with
the Goldizer woman, and Henry Mueller, q
backman, became his bondsman. Before
the case came up for trial Matthews
skipped, leaving his wife and two children
behind, and taking the Goldizer woman
with him. He was said to have had about
5000 in the bank, which he drew out, and
abe Goldizer woman had nearly as much
From here the pair went TO New Orleans
from which point all trace of them was lost

that her husband had deserted her. returned
to her home in Philadelphia.
Matthews was veterinary surgeon, and
was doing well here, but his init
macy with the Goldizer woman
became so public that it was no
surprise when he left the city in her COM
pany. When arrested upon the complaint
OF his wife. friends of Moeller, his bonds
man, warned him that Matthews would
skip, but Moeller would not listen to the
warning, and as result he had to pay the

fire on board the steamship Sandringham
in Charleston: "At the time OF the fire the
ship had on board about 1900 bales Of
cotton. or this amount about 200 bales
were slowed In the forward compartment,
where the fire originated All the cotton
in this hold will be taken out and a survey
will be held. The ship, as far as Is known,
is not seriously or even slightly injured
The board of survey viii determine whether
the cotton in the after hold is to be unloaded
or not. 1t will probably not be unloaded,
as the two compartments are separate and
the fire occurred near the bow OF the vessel
The principal damage to the cotton in the
forward hold Is by water. This will prob
ably be sold for account Of the underwriters
The cotton is insured entirely in foreign
companies. No accurate estimate can be
made of the damage caused by the fire. AS
stated above, the forward hold contained
about 200 bales Of cotton. Those who are
familiar with the subject estimate the dam
age to the cotton at $50 a bale, which would
make the loss about 10000"
