TEE MISFIr SHELVES.

One Hundred and Thirty-nine Books
of Record Won't Fit.
An investigation of the books in the Of
fee of the clerk of the superior court shows
that 1879 of the books of record are too long
to be accommodated In the new metallic
shelving. As is often the case, no one knows
here to place tie blame for the thunder.
AS it will spoil the binding, and would
probably mutilate the pages of the
record. there is considerable objection
TO having the books cut off. The opinion
is expressed that a section of metallic shelly
ing will have to be ordered to accommodate
the books which cannot be given room in
the shelving now in the vault
Clerk Keilbach of the court of ordinary
says he wants to remove the books and
records OF the ordinary's Office next
Wednesday from the temporary vault in
Telfair place to their new vault in the court
house. This will depend on whether or not
the metallic tables arrive by that time.

Grief of Her Son Because He Was

Mrs. Kate Donnelly, notice of whose
serious illuess was reported In the MORNING
NEWS, died at the Milledgeville asylum
day before yesterday. The deceased was
born in Roscommon, Ireland, and came to

almost 30 years Of age, and leaves son, t.
f. Donnelly, an industrious employe in the
Central railroad paint shops. The first in
telligence he had of his mothers
serious illness was the intelligence convened
in the MORNING NEWS. He telegraphed
to Supt. Powell of the asylum to forward
the remains TO Savannah for interment, and
was panied to. learn, by the Geographic
answer that came back, that his mothers
remains had been inferred in the ASYLUM
cemetery and could not be disinterred until
next winter. Mr.. Donnelly will then re-
move the body and give it intermeut in the
family lot at the Catholic cemetery. He
feels quite put out because he was not COM
municated with in the first instance bv the
asylum authorities, the letters being sent
here to the ordinary, and even the answer
to his telegram was sent in the care Of the
ordinary instead of to the address he gave
in bis dispatch.

Pushed Vigorously-July Statement
OF the Centrsrs Earnings.
Gen. E P. Alexander, president Of the Gen.
trail railroad left last night for New York,
called thither, it is understood, on matters
pertaining to the financial business of the
system. A rumor was current yesterday
afternoon that the Central system has sue
eeeded in placing the rest Of the Savannah
and Western bonds, which amount to
something over 81, 100000.
A MORNING News reporter called on
Gen. Alexander yesterday afternoon, but
the general was not inclined 70 talk freely
on the matter. He merely said he was
going to New York to be absent two or
three days, and that there is nothing new in
connection with the Centraps affairs. be-
yond the fact that his advices are TO the
effect that an increased force is at work
grading the Mobile and Girard extension
from Troy, Ala, in the direction Of Brew
ton
The total mileage of the Savannah and
Western is 42S miles, and the road is bonded
for SIS, 900 per mile. None Of the bonds
have been placed for the last two years,
but it is believed now that the rest of the
block has been taken and that Gen. Alexan-
der's trip to New York has something TO do
with closing up the contract for the con-
version of the bonds.
