RAIL AND cROS5TIE.

The New York Commercial Bulletin says
that the Richmond Terminal management
is discussing the purchase Of the outstaEd-
ing East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
and Richmond Terminal preferred stocks,
in furtherance Of the plan adopted in buy
ing the minority interest in Richmond and
Danvilie stock. Il is understood that the
East Tennessee common viii be acquired, as
we'll as the first preferred; and 1t would
seem probable that the second preferred
will be taken in if the common is bought
The purchase of the terminal preferred, Of
course, is only waiting for the order of the
directors and for their decision as to terms,
etc Rumors Of terms for the purchase of
all the securities above mentioned are cur
rent, but there is as vet nothing official in
them, as the board has taken no action.
The Wall Street Nelos says the board of
directors of the Richmond and West Point
Terminal have under consideration plan
looking to the retirement IF the preferred
stock, through the issue Of a portion of the
new S25 900, 900 ) per cent collateral bonds.
IL is not at all unlikely that a meeting of
the board will take pla soon, at which
this matter will come up for discussion, and
will be definitely acted upon. The heavi-
ness in Richmond Terminal common stock
of late is due to the rumor that q new issue

THE ALABAMA MIDLAND.
Progress of Work on the Road West
of Cambridge.


Superintendent r. G. Fleming Of the Sa-
vannah, Florida and Western railway, who
has Just returned from trip over his road,
spent Thursday at cambridge, where the
Alabama Midland railroad is going to con-
noct with the Savannah, Florida and West
ern railway. Superintendent Fleming was
asked about the progress Of the new line,
and he said:
II was told by the Alabama Midland
people that work was progressing very
rapidly, that they had nearly all Of their
grading done and are laying track as fast
az il is possible for it to be done. They are
using a track laying machine, and have the
track laid now from Balnbridg to the
Chattahoochee river. Their bridge at Flint
river is in condition TO be used"
"When does the Alabama Midland ex-
pect to reach Montgomery"
"About Oct. fl think they will be run
ming through trains from Bainbridge to
MontgomeN by that time"
What Connections will they have at
Montgomery
when they reach Montgomery they will
have connections with the various rail lines
entering that point, which will give them
connections with the iron and coal regions.
Does your line expect to make close con
nections at Montgomery over the Alabama
Midland railway as soon as it is openedr
"We do That is we expect to run in con-
nection with the fast mail train from Savan-
nah to Montgomery"
"What is the class of work that is being
done on the Alabama Midland railwayF'
"From my observations | consider the
work first class, as their bridges are Of iron,
and they are laying 60-pound steel rails all
the way, and when completed they should
be in condition to make as fast time as any
road Ill the south"

IMPROVEMENTS.
Follow Certain Llnea.

Observant persons have often remarked
how much faster certain streets build UT
than others. We all remember that Whit
aker street was the first to build up from
CASTOR to Anderson, and then the improve
ments gradually spread out to the right and
left from that center. This continues to be
the case, the people seeming to cling tsna-
ciously to that street. 1t is noticeable that
from Anderson street almost to Sixth
street, the improvements have extended
along Whitaker street, getting as far as
Barnard and going no farther west. This
is why property is SO eagerly sought for on
certain Lines Of improvements" as it Ii
technically known. This is also the reason
why. the lots which are to be sold on
Wednesday, 22d, are so much talked Of, and
will attract SO large a crowd of buyers.

TURPENTINE FROM A WELL.
Naval Stores May be Pumped and
Quarried Yet

Quarried Yet.
The naval stores men had something to
talk about yesterday, the alleged discovery
of a turpentine well near Donaldson in
Lawrens county. Peacock, Hunt ~ Co.,
had on exhibition at their office bottle of
spirits from barrel Of turpen-
tine, which, it is claimed by the
shipper, was taken from well Of what
seemed 10 be pure spirits. The information
came to the firm in letter from the manu-
facturer, who said that he had dipped four
teen barrels Of turpeutinefrom the we'll and
had not exhausted it. The well was said TO
be 60 feet deep and was used TO supply
water to a still on ono Of Mr. Peacock's
farms. How the turpentine goo into the
WELL if it got there at all, has not yet been
explained. Factors who examined the
sample pronounce it pure spirits.
The discovery has not unsettled the naval
stores market aud IS not likely TO until
more information is had or the subject of
turpentne wells. The fact that turpentiue
is a distilled product Of the pine tree makes
it dificnlt for most people to understand
how IL could got into we'll unless it was

No Interest.

Never before was it known to sell real es-
tate on five yesrs time and charge no in
terest 1t has been truly said that interest
is never idle. 1t is the moth that is eating
the warp and woof of our existences while
we sleep. There are notable examples in
this city of its insidious work unless CON
trolled. The question has been asked the
auctioneer: "Why don't the owner charge
interestT' The auctIoneer has never asked,
in fact he don't care, it suits him to give
the easiest terms that owners will allow
The pregnant fact remains that the pur =
chaser gets lot by paying the miserable
sum Of S25, and is then given, say five years,
in which to pay the balance, and charged
no interest on deferred payments. Upon
these terms will not many buy lots on
Wednesday, 22d inst.
The morning news., 1889-05-18
Buy q Large Lot.

There was time when ninety feet was
thought deep enough for lot, hence we
find from Bay to Liberty nothing but
ninety feet depth to lots. AS the city grew
and the tastes of the people developed, the
lots grew deeper-frst 100 feet from Lib
erty to Taylor; then in the extension to
Anderson street they are 105 feet. Yielding
to the growing desire for large yards, the
lots to be sold on Wednesday, 22d, have
been made 125 feet deep. This enables the
purchaser to retire his home from the front
of the lot, have garden in front and ample
room in the rear for stables and other out
buildings.
Buyers should remember that il they buy
on Wednesday, 221, they will get lots con-
tanning third more land than any others
on the market.
Keep the date in mind, Wednesday, 22d.

A good story is told Of a now ex-police-

While on duty at the park one night he was
about to use his club on a crowd Of young
men for putting out an electric light. The
light had just been turned on, and the cir
cult was not complete and the light was
turnsd on and off at short intervals. A
number Of young men sat ia the park close
to one Of the poles watching the freaks Of
the light, when the officer came up, aud,
touching them on the shoulder, told them If
they put that light out again be wouli

THE CROPS WANTING RAIN.
Heavy Decline in Vegetable Ship
ments This Week.

Owing to the extreme dry weather of the
past ten days truck gardeners have suffered
shortage in their bean crops, and potatoes
are small The shipments have been very
light this week, ana the shipments yester-
day fell off heavily. The bean vines are
drying up for want OF rain and the growth
of the potatoes have been checked.
Savannah beans III tie nor nern market
yesterday commanded So to S. 50 per crate,
and potatoes ranged form 81 to So 50, as to
quality. AS the torrid wave has extended
northward along the South Atlantic coast,
the truck faImarS have suffered throughout
the egetable-producing sections of the
coast, and prices are expected to be fully
maintained next week, if they do not ad-
vance.
The drought here is particularly embar-
RAISING to those who garden III u small way
and who depend on shipping an odd era e
or two on each steamer. The plan was
adopted some twelve or thirteen years ago
by local dealers of handling these small lots
in making up shipments, which otherwise
could not have been made by the grocer
There are quite a number of dealers
who handle these small lots.
Paul Decker, ]. Miller and the Hart
Brothers were the pioneers in handling
vegetables in a small way as far oack as
1876. The two former have retired but
the Hart Brothers, L. Pu eel, j. F. Tietien,
J. S. Collins & Co, and possibly others, in
addition to local and special agents Of
northern commission houses, take anything
from one crate up to 100 crates.
information received yesterday from
New York indicates that New York dealers
are alarmed about the shortage in the bean
crop, and are anxious for shipments, but
unless rain comes soon they will
have to get along without south
ern beans. Cabbage has been going
north rather freely and commanding 81 70
in Baltimore and IS to So 30 in Boston. A
dealsr says that auy shortage in Savannah
vegetables is felt worse than from any other
section of the south, and Savannah vegeta-
bles always command better prices than
those from other markets. The soil is DC
culiarly adapted to the culture of early
vegetables ana their esculsnce is 50 much
better than those farther south and north
