THE BUENA VISTA EXTENSION.
The Contract for Building 1t TO be
Awarded To-Day.

1 Ao SOuITdCI IOT bulIQlnR III TO be
Awarded To-Day.
General Manager Belknap, of the Central
railroad, in a chat with a MORNING NEWS
reporter yesterday, said that the contract
for the building of the Buena Vista and
Columbus extension is awaiting reply
from one of the bidders. If he is not heard
from to-day, Mai Belknap will award the
contract to another bidder, who fully
equipped with money and men to take hold
of the road and complete it by Jan. l the
time specified in the bids. There was a
great deal of competition, the bids twenty
four in number, coming from all parts of
the country
Major Belllnap says that the completion
of this gap will give the Central short line
to Florida, and with the completion OF the
road from Americas to Savannah will give
more direct and shorter line to Birming-
ham, besides opening up a wide territory IN
south central Georgia for the development
of its timber and agricultural resources.
glance at tie map in TIE report of the
forest trees of North America, from sta
tistics taken at the last census showing the
distribution of pine forests with reference
to the lumber industry, will show that the
Eden extension to Columbus will pass
through the very heart of the richest virgin
forests in Georgia, and its construction
means the building of extensive mills in
the counties trough which and near which
the road will run. In fact. several OF the
counties stand at the head of the list in the
estimate of the merchantaDe pine lumber
of the state. These counties are Laurens

virgin timber amounts to 5,47l, zoo, 900 feet

Almost a Suit Against the Citv.

An aged gentleman, while strolling or
Broughton street yesterday, came within al
ace of meeting with serious accident The
city, in making repairs on sewers, had failed
to properly protect pedestrians by placing
guard rails around the openings. The old
gentleman, failing to observe the excava-
ton, fell in feet foremost, landing on the
points of the workman's pick, which had
been carelessly left. Hal it not been for
the solid shoes he wore, and had purchased
from A. S. Cohen, 1897 Broughton street,
he might have been seriously injured, and
would have had good grounds on which to
sue the city.

The New Steamer City of Birmingham
Being Fitted for Sea.

Being Fitted for Sea.
Gen. G. Monkey Sorrel, general manager
of the Ocean steamship company, was at his
desk yesterday after an absence of two
months in New York, Philadelphia, Boston
and Chester, Pa. In an interview with a
MORNING NEWS reporter Yesterday, Gen
Sorrel said that the new steamship City of
Birmingham will be ready for sea the first
week in August. He brought with him o
well executed photograph of the launching
taken lnstantaneOusly, at the moment Miss
Caldwell OF Birmingham broke the bottle
of champagne over the bow Of the vessel in
the Della ware
zen. Sorrel says that the steamers of the
line have been taxed to their utmost to &C
commodate the increasing business The
vegetable shipments have been very large,
and the season lasted late the watermelon
season opened earlier and the shipments are
heavy so that it has taxed the carrying ca
paclty of the steamers. lie SAYS that in one
day there were 10000 packages Of vegetables
on the company's wharves III New York.
At one time the receipts were so heavy that
there were some refusals, but this was soon
regulated and the company pursued a lib
eral policy with shippers who had their pro
duce in when there was a surplus on the
market
The rapidly increasing business of the
Central railroad, and the increased receipts
OF cotton at this port, Gen. Sorrel says, has
made II necessary for the Ocean steamship
company to add other steamers to the line,
and work is now progressing on the specIf-
cations for another steamship, to carry
freight and passengers, to be known as the
Kansas City. The new vessel is to be one
of the finest that can be built for the
accommodation of the travelling public,
with a speed of fifteen knots an hour and
with capacity for $50 passengers and /, 200
bales of cotton. The vessel will be ready
for sea within ten months from the time of
letting the contract
Gen Sorrel says that the prospects for
the fall business are very promising. The
increase of 2,00000O acres in cotton, he
thinks, will be felt in the business of Savan-
nab, which will get her full share of the
handling of the crop. The compilation Of
the Birmingham connection opening up a
rich mineral and agricultural territory in
Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia, will add
largely to the travel and freight traffic of
the Ocean steamship line. With the com
pletion of the more direct line westward
from Eden to Americas, shortening the dis
lance to Birmingham, Memphis, Kansas
City and the northwest, Gen. Sorrel does
not think that Maj. Belknap's forecast of q
daily line Of ocean steamers is an unre ason.
able one.
