PUSHING INTO FLORIDA.
The Thomasville, Monticello and Tai
lahasSee Railroad


The committee of Monticelloans who
came over to Savannah the other day to
talk railroad to General Manager Haines,
of the Savannah, Florida and Western rail-
way, were sent back with an ultimatum
that gave them much encouragement. They
have certainly been whooping things up
since their return, for they wired Col
Haines yesterday that their proposition was
on its way by mail, and it is very safe to
say that it is in harmony with the line of
action suggested by Col. Haines in his inter
view with the delegation. This proposition
will come at an opportune time, for it will
be laid before the directory to-day.
The MORNING NEWS is informed that
Col. Haines gave the visitors to understand
that it rested with the Floridians of their
section whether he could or could not give
them an excursion on the Fourth of July,
and from the energy with which they have
taken hold of the matter, Col Haines will
either owe them Fourth of July ride out
of Monticello or an apology.
The work of building the road from
Townsville to the Florida State line is being
rapidly pushed forward, and from present
indications it looks very much as if the
work of extending it to Monticello will be
begun at once. This will no doubt be de-
termined by the directory at its meeting
TODAY.

Bad Tumble

4 West Broad Street Saloon Keepers
Bad Tumble.
Mr.. II. F. Suffer, a well-known saloon
keeper at West Broad and Harrison streets,
accidentally severed the blood vessels and
arteries in his right wrist Monday night.
Mr.. Sulter was arranging the bottles
III the cases which constituted the display
part of his bar when fancy and fragile
bottle slipped and in endeavoring to catch
it he fell through window, severing the ar
teries in his wrist. The wound bled profusely
and the loss of blood rendered Mr. Sulter
unconscious for some time Drs. Hummell
and Elliott were summoned. and after some
difficulty the arteries were ligatured. Dr.
Hummell remained with Mr. Suffer all
night, as the latter's condition was consid-
cred critical.
Members of the Teutouia Lodge knights
of Pythias, are in attendance and are look
ing after the wants of the injured
man. His condition last night was
considerably improved. The arteries were
completely severed and the cut was nearly
an inch deep. In all probability Mr.. Sulter
would have bled to death but for the pres
ence of mind of few members of leu
tonia Lodge, who were hastily summoned

steal .ng q Pair of Shoes.


Stealing Pair of Shoes
Mayor Lester held the boards in the Mu-
nicipal Court of justice yesterday and tenn
pered his decisions with a very strong vein
of mercy, to judge from the dismiss ais.
The dramatic scene of the morning was
the arraignment of the Rev. Mitchell Rob
inson (colored), for the theft of a pair Of
shoes from the Ocean Steamship wharf.
The divine feeds the colored lambs of a
Woodvillle church. He admitted that the
devil put it into his head to covet his neigl-
boris balmorals, and that be had slipped his
religious trust. He was very penitent, and
some Of the sheep Of his flock mingled their
tears with his TO save him from punishment.
He wcpt the night before at tle barracks
because Satan had wrestled with and
overthrown him, ard that WITH the fall he
might lose his pastorate. The erring evan
gellst, i'm spite of penitenCe, prOteStatlOns of
permanent pietv hereafter, and restitution,
was turned over to the City Court.
The charges OF disorieriy conduct against
Sarah Parker, and reckless driving against
George Green, We're dismissed.
Oliver Carr was fined s. for lying drunk
on the street.
For throwing rocks on the street and
sentenced to thirty days at hard labor on
the chain-gang.
Emil Kunze, the man who refused to
leave the residence of $. Krouskolf when
ordered away, was found by Mayor Lester
to be non comDos meIltiS, so that the charge
Of disordery conduct was dismissed, and an
order was issued to keep the afflicted man
and care for him until his brother could
call for him.

Bought by the Owners.

The property on Bay street occupied by
s. Guckenheimer q Son, and owned by Mr..
Guckenheimer and the estate of his late
partner, Mr.. Selig, was put up at the court
house yesterday, and after considerable
slow bidding, was knocked down to parties
representing the respective owners. The
sale was made apparently TO establish the
value of the property. The property
tempted two or three outsiders to make
bids, but they soon discovered that it would
take a big pocketbook to secure the prize,
and they gracefully withdrew.

entertaining talk at the Young Mems

Builders Full of Business.

In an interview with Mr.. w. F. Chaplin
yesterday, that gentleman said the building
activity in Savannah at this time is very
unusual. 1t is only the beginning of the
season proper, and yet he counted up over
100000 brick already under contract,
while the same activity is noticeable in
frame buildings. From pre,ent indications
the building boom has struck Savannah
without any organized effort to boom. This
is the best measure of city's progress after

THE INCREASED RECEIPTS

The increase i'll the receipts last year over
1886 amounts to about $4,000, which was
derived principally from the sale of the
securities and assets held for the new Jail
construction account. The new Jail, when
the brick fence, iron railing and gates are
completed, will have cost the county about
$4,000, including the cost of lands ex-
changed for the present site, commissions to
the architects and all regular and incidental
expenses. This amount is covered by the
sale of stocks, city bonds, debentures and
aggregate $63,250 thus furnishing the
county with a safe and modern prison with
out levying tax for this purpose
THE CoUNTY'S CURRENT EXPENSES.
The comparative statement shows an ap-
parent gross increase of $50, S55 80 in cur
rent disbursements, but the new Jail, the
accounts aggregating $24 ,469 O., are not
current accounts and should be deducted.
leaving SS,4l6 20 as the gross increase of
expenses for 1887. From this latter sum, by
deducting the gross decrease of 81, S67 S. is
had 81, 54S Al, the net increase in current
expenses for last year over that of 1886.
A careful analysis of the various accounts
shows that the large increase in the cost of
maintaining the jail and chain-gang is
caused mainly by the necessity of a1di-
tional guards whom the brick fence was re-
moved from the old jail and the expense of
building new quarters for the cOnvicts i'll
