RAIL AND CROSSTIE.

emma is actually starting apparently on
an area OF extensive railway construction.
Bids have been received by the government
for constructing the first sect N of a rail-
way from Pekin to Chinkiang, which
means very large expenditure both for
construction and equipment
Work on the Submarine tunnel to connect
New DIRK and Jersey City has again been
resumed, after a cessation of two wears
The plan contemplates two independent
tunnels each $500 feet in length, uniting at
either end in anapproach three-fourths of a
mile long, making the total length of ap-
proaches and double tunnel two miles and n
halt. Ihls great enterprise was undertaken
In 1877, but soon stopped for want of
| capital. 1t was resumed in 1879, and again
stopped after something over 800 feet had
been completed. Two years ago some
further progress was made, SO that q total
OF 1000 feet On the north tunnel and 5S5 on
the south tunnel has already been accom-
plished, nearly all being on the jersey side.
1t IS now claimed that the work win be
completed in 1892.

Nelcs as saying: 1--WE are anxious that he
| should take hold because he is a cauable
man, and we would Willingly pay MIN
salary of S25, 900 a year, and give him carte
blanche as to the management of the prom
erty. We feel confident that he would be
able to save the company as much in a
month as he would receive from us as salary
| in twelve months. An honest endeavor l.
now pelng made TO Improve our system of
roads, and it is decided that there will ba
no further issue of securities, unless IL ba
for property acquired. IL we secure the
| services Of President Smith we shall fort1fv
our position in many ways. He is so thor
| oughly conversant with the railroad sysrem
OF the south that he would be of incaleula-
| BILE value to u.s.

SEA ISLAND BAGGING

Bulloch Ccuaty's Alliance Men Look
ing into the Matter.
A committee consisting of Wayne Parish
and c. l. Grower, farmers FROM Bulloch
county, were in the city yesterdav. They
were representatives Of the Bulloch county
Farmers Alliance, and were in consulta.
tion with merchants tere in regard TO sea
island bagging. 1t was explained to their
satisfaction about sea island bagging, that
it is not an American production, but is
Manufactured in England, and has nothing
to do with the trust.
IL was shown THAT it has been the means
OF driving the manufacturers of America
out OF the market, and the bagging is now
sold at fully cents lower than when it was
manufactured by American mills, and has
maintained its present standard value for
several years, which was not at all exorbitant.
1t was shown That cotton bagging would
make very poor wrapper for sea island
cotton, as it would readily tear with the
hooks, neceSsitating the use Of bands, whica
would cause the buyers TO exact a heavy
tare. and which they wonld do to the full
extent
The committee was very favorably i'm
pressed with these representations and will
go back 10 Bulloch prepared to report in
favor Of the English bagging for sci island
cotton.

STOOD UP FOR HER BROTHER.
An Authenticated Woman Who Held
a Sheriff's Posse at Bay.


Sheriff Hurst of Burke county has
wanted "Bill" Brinson for long time
Failing to get him he has got two of his
sisters, and the third is in the barracks here
waiting for the sheriff to come after her to-
day. Whether he will get her or not, re-
mains to be seen.
| The woman, who was arrested at her
sister'a house, at the eastern end OF
Broughton street, YESTERDAY, by
Detective Basch, says that she will
not 60, and the way she says it shows that
she means business.
The woman's name is Genie Brlnson.
She stood off Sheriff Hurst and his con-
| stables, and afterward a posse, with
double-barrelled shotgun, threatening 20
kill him if he attempted to arrest her, while
her brother escaped to the woods.
Brinson's sisterly defender is a rather
tall, slender woman, with an abundance of
rcd hair. She has quiet sort Of way,
but when she says anything she says it as if
she does not mean to take 1t back tue next
minute She was not very confding about
her brother Bill" Sheriff Hurst
attempted to arrest him and his sister.
The sheriff, she said, came to her brothers
house, ten miles from Waynesboro, one
night last week with a couple Of conslables
and stayed outside of the house until day
light. Early in the morning the sheriff
called Brinson and told him to come out and
surrender himself Brinson's sister ap-
peared at the door with a double barrel
shotgun Back of her was her brother,
bill" with shotgun and revolver, and ne
was hanked by two other sisters and neice,
all armed. The sheriff drew his revolver,
and Miss Brinson levelled her shotgun
and told him that if he shot, she would shoot.
There was parley of half an hour or so,
and finally the sheriff retreated, according
to the woman's story.
A few hours later ne came back with
posse of ten or twelve men to take the
whole family. Bill" in the meantime,
had got into the woods, armed with shot
gun and revolver. Two of his sisters sur
her ground, and told him she would never
be taken alive. The sheriff with
drew his posse, and that night
Miss Brnson left the place
and stayed with neighbor. The next day
after that drove to Lawtonyille, where she
heard of her here, and telegraphed Detec-
tive Basch to arrest her. She was found
yesterday afternoon in her sisters house,
and was taken to the barracks. She said
last night that she will not 60 back to
Waynesboro with Sheriff Hurst unless she
is carried bodily.
Brinson is horse thief, and has led the
officers all over the country a wild
chase for the last six months. There is
hardly a sheriff in Southern Georgia who is
not looking for him and who Is not wonder
ing what he would do with him if he got

MORE NIGHT MAILS WANTED.

ID For Better Mail Facilities.

ID For Better Mail Facilities.
A gentleman who came down from Ten
mile yesterday said that the article in the
MORNING News relative TO the absence Of
a night pouch on the fast mail train TO
Savannah had stirred up the people along
that line of road. They all want night
pouch. and they are willing to do anything
to get it. They want to be in better com
munication with Savannah tlan they are
now. Millen, the gentleman said, has a
night pouch to Savannah, but no other
station OH the line has one.
How many stations are there up the
line, that want a nIgAt pouch to Sayan-
nahT'
There are between twenty five and thirty
stations between Savannah and Macon, ard
| should say that oDe-haif of them are in
Savannah's territory. However, if one
half OF them got night mail facilities to
Savannah, the Others would want it, and it
would be as easy to give il to all Of them as
to a portion of them
The gentleman said that since the night
trains have stopped carrying a night mail
for Savannah, all the mail orders 60 to
Macon, IN consequences of better facilities.
Every train going to Macon takes pouches.
those trains that pass the larger stations
during the night take mail pouches. This
was done by Macon merchants Now that
the people along the line of road have been
stirred up about the night pouches, Savan-
Eah merchants and business men can COM
blne with them and get the same mail facili-
ties for themselves.
Savannah cannot afford to be behind in
this respect, a business man said Yesterday
IL she accompanies anything, though. he
added, she will have to 90 to work and pull
for it. The fact that she gets local mail on
only one train day from the west does not
speak well for her.
