The Young Mems Democratic Club
Split Up on the Mayoralty.
The Young Mems Democratic CLUB is not
united on a mayoralty candidate. A meet
ing of the club was held last night to con-
fer and to take preliminary action toward
selecting candidate for mayor.
Senator duBignon. who is president
of the club, was expected to preside,
but he was detained in Atlanta by sickness.
S. B. Adams, Esq, has considerable fol-
lowing in the club. and it was understood
that his friends were TO take an active part

The club claims membership of over 400,
but less than lO0-not quorum-were

canvass of the members showed that
the club is split up in its choice for mayor,

Alderman Thomas and W. G. Charlton,
Esq, each have a following in the club,
and quite number would support MIR. S. p,

Endorsement of a candidate was deferred
until later on, probably until the county

CRACKSMAN WARD AGAIN.

In Jail in Montreal and HIS Wife
Suing for Divorce in st. Augustine.
The st. Augustine Fla) News prints a
story about Ward, the cracksman. The NetOs
says that he is now in Jail in Montreal for
cracking a safe there, and his wife in st.
Augustine is suing for a divorce from him.
The NeUs' story, except the part that re-
iates to Wards Savannah exploits. which
is somewhat mixed. is as follows: Every
body IN Florida has heard of the daring
feats Of burglary perpetrated by Adams,
alias Ward. Ward, or Adams, YVES one of
the coolest and most expert burglars that
this country has ever known. Wards wife is
now in St Augustine suing for divorce
from the desperate, and Ward, three weeks
ago, having blown open a safe in Montreal,
was captured and sentenced to a long term
in the penitentiary. Ward broke into tbs
museum at st, Augustine, stole about $500
worth Of jewelry, and was captured at
jacksonville the next day by Sheriff Her
nandez. When Ward entered the Jail here
he laughed hilariousy at the locks, told
the sheriff that he didn't want to get out,
but that il he choose to he could do so in
fifteen minutes. The sheriff, Of course,
wanted to see how it was done, and Ward,
to show him, took common button hook
and in ten minutes had the lock of every
cell in the Jail opened. Ward was let out
Of the Jail on 500 bond. He went to
Savannah, broke into a store there, was
captured, and in court was sentenced to
fifteen years at hard labor.
wards case hadn't come before the
Florida court, but he wrote to the sheriff
that he was at Washington witnessing the
inaugural ceremonies of Cleveland; that
he owed q few dollars in st. Augustine,
wished the sheriff would pay it, and also use
his influence to have his case indefinitely
postponed, as he did not see how it would
be possible for him to come then, as bust
ness was particularly pressing.
Ward has broke jail no less than a half
dozen times. He married young Jackson
vile lady in Palatka, who now lives with
her mother in st. Augustine. The young
lady in question is using her best endeavor

The New York Sun says: In the fight be-
tween the Pennsylvania and New York
Central it is pointed out that the ability of
the former to stand punishment is demon
strated by the fact that in the great trunk
line war Of 1885 Pennsylvania's net earn
ings fell only from s37, 600, 600 to s3l 900 900,
while New York CentraPs dropped from

The Chattanooga Times says that nego-
tiations are now pending between the in
corporators of the Chattanooga, Cleveland
and Murphy Railroad Company and a New
York syndicate, for the building of the road
from Cleveland, Tenn, TO Murphy, N. c.,
with every prospect that said negotiations
will be favorably concluded in a very few
days If such proves to be the case, work
on the road will begin immediately, and
from the information obtained it is ex-
pected that force of hands will bo at work
by Jan !, 1889.
"Poors Directory of Railway Officials"
for 1885, the third annual number, a supple
ment to 'Poor's Manual of Railroads. has
just been issued by H. V. & II. w. Poor Ct
New York. 1t contains lists of the officers
of all railways in North America, and of the
leading organizations auxiliary to the rail-
way system, lists of officers of South Amer
lean and British railways, and other
valuable information. The officers of 800
railway corpor ations in the United States
and Canada are giveI. The officers vary
in number from three or four on the small
est lines to 331 on the Missouri Pacific sys-
tenn. The Pennsylvania railroad has 1911
officers, the Pennsylvania company l27.
Twelve is the low average for all roads.
This would make the aggregate of titled
railroad officials in this country over 10000.
The Wall Street NelUs quotes as follows
Concerning the rumor that a prominent
banking house will not be the fiscal agents,
or in any way connected with the finances
of the Richmond and West Point Terminal
Company, we can state positively that the
bankers in question win not only attend to
all these monetary matters for that COM
pany, but will, in all probability, have a
representation in the Terminal directorate.
-Kterndn The Netos adds: Consider
ing the fact that the prominent banking
house above referred to owns and controls
a majority of the stock of the Herman
News Company, and does not permit any
thing to appear on its sheets which will,
directly or indirectly, injuriously affect the
interests of the house in the market, we
accept the above as an authoritative an

The first fire, as stated in the MORNING

Exhibited States Marshal Tuomey .of
South Carolina was interviewed by Ne,Us
and Courier reporter a day or two ago.
Mr.. Tuomey has very pronounced opinions
as to the present political situation In the
first place. he said that he does not believe
that Harrison can have distinctive policy
| for the south and one for tie north. He
believes that the Chandler bill may be
| passed, as it originated in the south. 1t was
| intended originally to rectify the election
laws of South Carolina. Mr. Tuomey does
| not believe that the eight ballot-box law
can stand. Either it must go, or some
of the seven South Carolina Congress
| men, who were elected on an ag-
gregate of $1,000 votes ora there
abouts, must go. Mr.. Tuomey believes
that all the federal offices in South Carolina
are to be flied by competent republicans.
He says that it is only fair play that the
democrats should get the kind of civil serv-
ice they administered TO the republicans.
He was appointed United States marshal
and held the position for about eighteen
months. Just before his removal an exam
ination of his office and his capabilities was
made, and he was among the first in point
| of merit in the southern states. Yet he was
l Nnlr 49,,
being an offensive partisan. Mr. Tuomey
does not think that there will be any impor-
tatIons from the north of republicans to fill
southern offices. He believes there are
enough competent men already in the south.
He says that he is not seeking any Office
himself He does not believe that Cen
Harrison's policy will in anywiss affect the
heat interests of the south
