AN HEROIC ACT.
The Son OF Gen. Alexander Saves Two
Lives.

The Son OF Gen. Alexander Saves Two
Lives.
The following from a Duluth (Minn.)
paper Of a recent date gives an account of
the saving Of two lives in Duluth by Ar. Z.
p. Alexander, son OF Gen. Alexander, presi-
dent % the Central railroad:
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. K. p. Alex
amer, Jr.. performed a noble and heroic
act, it being nothing less than saving the
lives Of two persons. q mother and her child
Yesterday being the Fourth, he spent the
early portion of the afternoon at MS cosy
and comfortable home on Bench street.
While there bis attention was called 70 the
screams of soue little children who we're
standing beside rev sewer trench
near his house. which tie recent
rains had nearly filed with water.
Judging from their cries and
actions that some one was in trouble, hs
fastened thither aud locking down into the
trench, he saw a woman with 8 child IN her
arms iOunderlng in the water. Not real
izinE that the water in this trench was Of
any considerable depth. he jumped in, but
IN doing so, he plunged IN over his head.
Quickly coming 10 the surface, however, he
first seized the child, and although the
mother in her excitement clung to It, yet
be succeeded IN getting IL away from her
and In lifting II out onto he solid ground.
He next seized mold Of the woman
and while be was unable TO lift
her out OF the trench, yet he was
able TO hold her head out Of
the water while his vito ran some distance
for additional help. which being soon Sc
cured the woman was quickly rescued from
her perilous position. The woman was, we
believe, a Scandinavian, living near by,
who with her children had attemnted to
cross the trench, when one Of the little ones
foil in, wheTeupOn the mother jumped in
after it. But for the timely arrival of Mr.
Alexander and for his prompt and energetic
action upon arriving at the scene. nothing
is more certain than that both mother and
child would have been drowned.

TIE FoRDs' SUCCESS.
"Young Mrs. Winthrop" Makes a Hit
in the Words Hands.

young Mrs. Winthrop" Makes a Hit
in the Fords' Hands.
The Ford Dramatic Association gave an
excellent performance Of "Young Mrs.
Winthrop" last night. So good, indeed,
was the performance from every point of
view that it would have done credit to a
strictly professional company. The play is
one that amusement seekers naturally enjoy
They laugh at the comedy, are sad
over the tragedy, where husband and child
are both gone, and feel satisfied at the do
nouemenJ and reconciliation. As Mrs.
Winthropn Miss Van Sickle gathered addi-
tional laurels. In the stronger scenes in the
second and third acts she acted with a SIM
plicity and dignity that were true to
nature.
Miss Helen Sedgwick, as "a Lady of So
ciety,n played with much spirit and made q
great deal of her part.
Miss Julia Arthur made an exceptional
mother-in-lsw, loving her daughter-i1-lsw
as much as she did her son and interfering
with neither too much in their private at
fairs.
Mss Blancke represented the blind sister
Of Mrs. Winthrop with rare naturalness.
As Douglas Winthrop" Mr.. James Neil
made decided hit.
MIR II. s. Duffield in the part,of Buxton
Scott lawyer, brought down the house.
His acting and witticisms as the opposing
counsel TO Satan gave the greatest sat
isfactiOn.
The others in the cast were Mr.. H. 7.
Estill as Herbert Winthrop" w Fleming
as "Dr. Mellbsnke,' and 4. H. Neill as a
footman. The performance will be re-
peated tonight and at matinee to-mor-
row afternoon at O'Clock

best that the Fords have ever played before

But the Central Believed 70 Own the
Dublin and Western.


Dublin and Western.
Col r. J. Davant, receiver Of the Savan-
nah, Dublin and Western Short Line Rail
way Company, said to a MORNING. NEWS
reporter yesterday that he is still in the
dark as to whom the roadway was pur-
chased for by Mr.. Denmark.
II Is generally believed, however, that
the Central is the real owner, and 1t has
leaked out that before the sale the Central
was working away westward on the Eden
extension on the roadway Of the Savannah,
Dublin and Western, and that the receiver,
on the order Of the court, took a force OF
men there, and forced toe Central to stop
work, cleared away what had been done,
and left watchman 20 guard the property.
There is an impression abroad that the
projectors of the Savannah, Dublin aud
Western never intended 20 build the road,
but only 70 60 50 far as TO frighten the Cen
trel into purchasing from them, and it is
said that those who invested money in the
enterprise here in Savannah got their money
back and $4,000 each besides out Of the
500, 600 paid by Gen. Alexander 10 Mai.
Branch, and ID is believed that in few
days the Central will again begin work on
the Savannah Dublin and Western road
way, on It's Savannah aud Western line.
This, from all that can be learned, appears
70 De the plan OF the central, as ten. Alex
ander has never yet located any towns along
the line between Eden and the OhoOpee
which the Savannah and Western will tap,
nor could Dr. Wright, of Wright &
Etrother, who have tho contract for grad
ing from the Ogeechee to the Ohoopee say
how many miles they have 70 grade. or
locate the route, auy more definitely than
that they are to grade westward to the
OhoOpee.
Gen. Alexander admitted that the Cen
tral would lend iron to track the roadbed,
SO taat II it hasn't the road in absolute pos
session it is evident that it is in a position
to control, which may be one and the same
thing,

He reported the matter, however, to the

ters he arrested Fields and sent for DAILY

WANT LONGER QUARANTINE.
A Move to Keep the Sapelo Station
Open Until january

a Move to Keep the Sapelo Station
Open Until January.
Official notice has not yet been received
Of any letting Of the contract by the gov
eminent for the wharves, scow, warehouse
aud boathouse at Sapelo Island, but the
contract is expected to be let in few days.
Owing to failure to appropriate enough
money for the quarantine stations beyond
Oct. ! next, an effort will be made by the
city o get the government to anticipate the
next appropriation and keep the quarantine
at Sap0lo open until Jan. l, as the impor-
lance Of doing so for the sanitation Of the
South Atlantic coast is recognized BY all.
DR.. Brooks, passed assistant surgeon Of
the United States marine hospital in this
city, says that the Sapelo quarantine sta
ton protects the coast from Cape Charles
TO Key West, and that the necessity of
keeping the station open later than Oct l
is apparent.
Only a few days ago Health Officer
Brunner ordered a suspicious vessel,
national quarantine station. One of the
crew had died on the passage, and it was
feared the ballast was infected
The sanitary authorities of the city view
with some apprehension, the closing of the
Sapelo quarantine at 50 early q date as Oct.
l, and it is understood that an earnest effort
will be made to keep it open until mid
winter, as Wilmington, Charleston, Beau
fort Savannah, Brunswick, Fernandina
and Jacksonville would be imperiled by its
closing at tina early date now fixed. These
cities will, no doubt, unite in the effort to
have the government keep the station open,
although the appropriation will have been
exhausted by Oct. l.
DR.. Brooks says that it is much better
that station like Sspelo should be kept
open, since it is much better to have
trained employees at the station, for when
they once scatter when a station is closed
it is difficult to collect the same employees
together again, and necessitate the employ
ment of neY and ineYnArien ca1 handa
