Gen. Alexander Explains the Agree
ment With Col. Hawkins.
There is an entente cordidIe between the
Savannah and Western road and the Sa-
vannah, Americus and Montgomery road,
or, to put it palmer, Gen. f. 2. Alex
aader of the Central, and Col 3. H. Haw-
kins, have come to an agreement whereby
the Savannah and Western railway will go
no farther west than Sterling, and the Sa-
vannah, Amerlcus and Montgomery road
will come no farther east than Sterling.
This is the situation as Gen. Alexander
outlined it yesterday to q MORNING News
reporter and is substantially what Col
Hawkins sand in Atlanta. Gen. Alexander
says that Col Hawkins expects to complete
his road from McI{ae to Sterling within
ninety days, in which time the Savannah
and Western is also to be finished to Ster-
ling, and the Savannah and Western trains
will use Col Hawkins road from Sterling
to Americus, and the Savannah, Americas
and Montgomery trains will use the Savan-
nah and Western track from Sterling to
Savannah and have the terminal facilities
of the Central.
Gen. Alexander appeared pleased with
the arrangements, and he predicted that
Col. Hawkins would not build the road any
farther east than Sterling, nor has the gen
eral the remotest idea that tle road will
ever lie diverted to Brunswick

& Victim of Delirium Tremens Jumps
Into the River.
An unknown white man, supposed to
have been suffering from an attack of de-
lirium tremens, jumped into the river from
market dock at the foot of Barnard street
yesterday afternoon. Two colorod boys
who we're rowing boat went to the rescue
and the would-be suicide was fished out
after having come to the surface a second
time, little the worse for his
plunge. One Of the boys caughU hold of
the mans coat, and kept his head above
the water while he drifted down to the
Exchange slip.
John Franz, clerk in N. Paulsen &
Co.'S, and Raymond Noble, the porter at

carriage had in the meantime been sont

enough to walk, and he started for the
Pulaski house. Inquiry at b tn the Screven
and Pulaski failed to find any such party.

the porter his name and thanked him for
his kindness Some one asked him if he
was in need of money and he replied that

THE CENTRAL's VIEW OF IT.
Gen. Alexander on the South Bound
Enterprise.

Gen. Alexander on the South Bound
Enterprise.
Gen. f. p. Alexander has evidently been
taking quite an interest in the South Bound
railway enterprise, TIE building of which
he recognizes will open up new territory to
Savannah, and will be a feeder for the
Ocean steamship line. He thinks, however.
that 1t will be q rather expensive thing to
attempt to make 1t an independent road to
Savannah, and deprive itself of terminal
facilities from other roads, or obtain its
own only at great expense. He thinks it
especially expensive to build its road from
where 1t is proposed to bridge the Savan-
nah river at Sisters ferry, and run down
the river through a territory from which it
cannot expect to draw much traffic.
The prudent thing to do, Gen. Alexander
thinks Is for the South Bound folks to
build from Baruwell to the nearest point on
the Port Royal and Augusta road and use
1t to Its junction with the Charleston and
Savannah road, and use the Charleston and
Savannah road to this city, by which ar
rangement it would then be easy to avail
itself of the depot facilities of the Charles
ton and Savannah depot and tho Central
depot--either, or both--aud the dis ance
would then be only about ten miles greater
than by the proposed route of the South
Bound from Barnwell TO Savannah
AS Gen. Alexander outlined the ad.
vantages of that plan he said if the South
Bound folks do not build their road he in
tends to build from point on the Port
Royal and Augusta to Barnwell and give
the people of that section a shorter line tC

it Does Not Stop Soon.
Although little more than half an inch of
rain fell yesterday in Savannah, the streets
were full of water and some of them are
washed considerably. On East Broad
street, south Of the Savannah, Florida and
Western railway depot, large puddles
formed, and the water in some places
washed under the Belt Line track. On
West Broad street, south of the Central
railroad depot, the water stood in the
street. In front of the Tybee railroad
depot it washed small gullies in the street.
The wet weather for the last two or three
days has packed the soil so that the water
will not percolate through it, but remains
on the surface. Considerable complaint is
coming from the planters, who thought thew
were pretty sure of a big crop this year.
Many of them now believe that if the wet
weather lasts another week not only will
cotton be damaged so that not more than
one-halt Of a crop will be gathered, but corn
which is left on the stalk in the field NAV
rot.
just now, a farmer said yesterday. the
state of affairs is very discouraging. What
the farmers thought would be a good wear
for them may be quite the other way be-
lore the crops are gathered.
