GEORGIA's CENTRAL CITY.
The Macon and Dublin to be an indie
pendent Line to Savannah

The n aeon and Dublin to be an indie
pendent Line to Savannah.
MACON, GA, April 1S.-It is stated on
good authority that the Macon and Dublin
railroad, the building of which is now as
sured, will apply for a charter to build a
separate line to Savannah. This is both in
teresting and important from the fact that
it has been supposed all along that the road
would simply connect with the proposed
Savannah, Dublin and Western rail- Dad.
This means, if consummated, the operation
of an independent line to Savannah. The
surveying corps of the Macon and Dublin
road are now at Burkett's store, Twiggs
county, nine miles from this city. They are
spending several days there inspecting the
surroundings in order to select the most
feasible route. The only obstacle of impor-
lance along the entire route is steep hill
at that point, which they are trying to get
around.
Sam Small will occupy the Academy OF
Music tomorrow night. His subject will

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


Circles
One of the most important railway in
ventions for some time is an appliance now
being placed ON locomotives all over the
country, and more particularly on Eastern
roads. 1t is an apparatus to ring the bells
by steam, and consists of a steam cylinder
placed at one side of the bell frame and
resting on the boiler. The connecting rod
which connects the piston to 3-inch crank
on the bell is so constructed that it will
vary its length according to the swing of
the bell, thus removing all liabily OF knock
ing the cylinder out by coming in contact
with it.
Col H. S. Haines, General Manager of

A CORPSE TURNS TO STONE.
Fertilization Revealed by the Removal
of a Body at Augusta


AUGUSTA, GA, April 1S.-This morning
when Supt Bryan, of the City Cemetery,
opened tho grave Of S. O. Gillette, who was
Inferred about four years ago, it was found
that the workmen could not raise the coffin.
After consultation the d Of the casket
was opened and the body was found TO be
as hard as stone. The features were
touched and found cold and hard. One Of
the workmen struck the face and it emitted
metallic sound. The face was only slightly
shrunk and a shade or two darker than in
life Mr.. Gillette had becn cleanly shaved
after death, but the chin is now
covered with beard several
inches long. None of the usual dis
agreeable elements common to eXhuming
remains were encountered. Several mem
bers of the family were present and viewed
the spectacle. The family is now living in
New York, but came on to have the re-
mains Inferred in another portion of the
cemetery. The coffin was fiGaiiy raised,
after much exertion, by eight men and car
rled TO It's new resting place. The sexton
and attendants, while thinking the matter
strange, hurried their work and the body
was under ground when the facts reached
the ears of medical men. An effort will be
made to get the consent of the family to a
medical examination for the benefit of sci
ence. They are sensitive about the matter
and refuse to have the resting place of the
dead disturbed
