THE CENTRAL'S NEW BONDS.

Gen. Alexander Not Inclined to Talk
About the Recsnt Negotiation.
Gen. Alexander was asked yesterday in
regard to the recent issue of bonds by the
Central railroad, but he was unwilling to
give the details of the negotiation. In fact,
he would not state the amount of bonds
negotiated, but he said, and repeated, that
the deal had resulted in giving the Central
Railroad and Banking Company all the
money Ii wanted.
He was asked what work was contem-
plated by the Central since its acquisition
of added capital, and he explained that q
portion of the funds derived from the plac-
ing Of the bonds will be used as working
capital for the bank. 1t is also contem-
plated to widen the guage of the Columbus
and Rome railway to Greenville, and prob
ably to extend it to Newman. 1t also de-
termined the construction of the road across
the state from Eden to Americas, which
will be contracted for at an early date The
rolling stock of tho Central road and
branches is to be put in the best condition,
and its equipments are TO be thorough in
every respect.
Gen. Alexander was asked if there is to be
a remodeling of the Ocean steamship
wharves, and if any new steamers are to be
built.
determined to remodel the wharves, but If
the Central should do so, it will not lack the
money to prosecute the work. eve will
most likely build two more steamships" he
said, but this has not yet been decided" In
conclusion Gen. Alexander said that what
ever improvements may be decided upon
the Central will not lack money to carry
out its plans.
Gen. Sorrel. general manager of the
Ocean Steamship Company, was not pre-
pared to give any further information be-
yond the fact that he thinks two new steam
ships will be built for the line The com
pany has found 1t necessary to charter two
steamers to tide them over during the
busy season. The line needs two more
steamers, and they prefer their own to
chartered steamers. The increase of the
freight traffic has been such as to demand
additional bottom, and indications are that
next year two additional steamers will to
added to the fleet, if, as Gen. Alexander
puts it, 'the Central can get all the money
IL wants ~

ON RAIL AND CROSSTIE.
Local and General Gossip in Railway
Circles.

1t is understood that some action will be
taken soon in the matter Of the proposed
lease of the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railroad to the Richmond and Dan
VILE The papers for the lease are stated
to be drawn up and in the hands of the
officials.
Commissioner Slaughter telegraphed Cen
eral Passenger Agent Charlton, of the Cen
trail railroad, yesterday. as follows: "Tick-
cts to Richmond and return, for exposition,
may be placed on sale at points as far south
as and including Chattanooga, Tenn, and
Atlanta, Macon and Savannah, Ga, Oct.
/, and sold on Tuesdays and Thursday of
each week thereafter, to and including
Tuesday, Nov. 20, limits and other condi-
tions given in circular 274 to Apply" The
rou d trip rate from Savannah will be
SIS 80.
The following are some legal points touch
ing railroad crossings, which are worthy of
attention: /. A traveller on a highway
should look and listen before he attempts to
cross a railroad track; and if he hears a
train he should halt at some safe distance,
if necessary, TO ascertain if 1t is approach
ing on the track 2. II may not be con-
tributory to negligence, however, if he does
not halt, when he Is deceived by surround
ing circumstances, without his own fault.
3. The doctrine of the English case of
Thorogood, VS.. Bryan, which imputes to a
passenger the negligence of driver over
whom he has TO control, as far as 1t has OBJ
tanned footing in Maine, is overruled.

FERNANDINA WANTS AID
THE CITY WITHOUT MEANS TO
LOOK AFTER ITS PEOPLE.

The Benevolent Association to Meet
This Morning and Vote a Contribu-
tion-A Subscription to be Started
$3.50 Sent to Macclenny by the
Relief Committee-Nurses for Jack
sonviIle
Fernandina, Fla, has issued an appeal
for help. The breaking out of the yellow
fever there finds the city without means to
aid its people. Mayor Lester received the
following telegram yesterday:
FERNANDINA, FLA, Sept. %, 1888.
TO the Mayor of lSdudnnGh, .SdUanndh, Ga:
ternandina, Fla. needs aid. The announce
ment that yellow fever exists in the city nnds 1t
WITH an exhausted treasury.
All available means have been spent in the
endeavor, by strict quarantine, to keep it from
the city. All business is suspended. the white
citizens have nearly all left. Those remaining
are mostly dependent. Two thousand coiored
people remain without work to be provided for
until frost. The supply of stores is nearly ex-
hausted with no means to replace them. Con
tributions may be sent to G. Stark, trea surer Of
the Howard Association Fernandina, Fla.
JOHN BARR, Mayor.
The people of Savannah will do all they
can to aid the stricken city. A meeting of
the Savannah Benevolent Association will
be held this morning, and steps will be
taken to forward contribution at once.
Fernandina is in immediate need and u 600
will probably be forwarded to-day. The
association sent $3.50 to Macclenny yester-
day.
Contributions are being received by
the relief committee every day. Messrs. 5
Guckenheimer & Son received yesterday
from j. K. Bedell of Owens Ferry, Cam
den county, remittance of $50, with in
structions to forward $25 to Jacksonville
and S25 to Macclenny. The money was
turned over to Mr.. Sligo Myers of the relief
committee, and was sent on
last night. Savannah has responded
literally TO every call for help.
Nearly 5000 has been sent to Jacksonville
and Macclenny, $500 have been subscribed
to aid Waycross in maintaining its quaran
tine, and now comes the appeal from Fer
nandina. Subscriptions will be started to-
day.
DR.. Duncan sent four nurses to Jackson
vile yesterday, all of whom are acclimated,
have had yellow fever, and nursed cases of
that disease. They are all colored and
were sent to Mr.. George E. Wilson, chair
man OF nurses and medical supplies. Their
names are Anna Butler, Josephine Knowles,
Emma Acklin and Martha jackson. Moth
ing but good reports have come from the
Savannah nurses, and DR.. Shef alls success
in treating the fever is considered phenome-
nal. Advices to friends here say that DIR.
Sheftall is going night and day, and that he
has been so fortunate with his patients that
his presence is a token OF confidence. IL is
said that he cured one case where black
vomit had developed and where the flesh of
the patient was so sensitive that hemorrhage
followed the slightest touch. he adopted,
in this case, tho arSenical treatment and
saved the lady's life.

Taking Things Easy.

We are doing just that, because there are
yet plenty of people who will think twice
before they act once. We refer to the pur-
chase of Pianos. We represent only such
instruments as have stood the test of many
years, manufactured by men who have
gained their well-earned reputation by
honest and solid work, and giving their
customers full value in every instance.
Any agent of theirs who would try any
hocus poclts business and who cannot show
a clean bill Of moral business health, would
not be tolerated by thom a moment. We
therefore could not, if we wanted land we
do mott enter in any scheme which can be
doubted, criticized or would lower the
standard OF their instruments. We con-
tinue our legitimate business as we have
done the past thirty-6ve years. Our
instruments do not enter In competition
with those which can be so varied as to sell
at one price to-day and another te-morroy
or next week; in tact we do not recognize
any competition with the Steinway Pianos.
They still sell themselves.

The Best Time to Buy Valuables.

This is the dull season OF the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty well as far as it
goes-but it doesn't go FAR. The purchasing
power of dollar now is something surpris-
ing, SIMPLY because there are more dollars
than trade. In a word, we are now inclined
to give a very large dollars worth for 100
oents just to keep things moving. Within
the past few months we have added to our
stock in various ways, new ideas, new con-
ceits. new tricks and quips in jewelry, and
so on. We've got to keep up, you know,
with the strides of inventive and artistic
excellence. Our stock is worth looking
over, and as intimated, we 70iU sell rerp
close to move some of it. This is q good
time to renew household articles. Solid
Silver table ware, superb plated ware

He had gone aloft by the hoops to take
look out from the ma st-head to see if auy

without success; these attempts, however,
and getting one of his legs and an arm en-
