1t is Not in the Railroad tiarket at
Present
Where do those rumors about the Central
railroad gobbling up so many lines origi-
mater This is the question that the Central
people want answered.
President Alexander was interviewed the
first of the week by the MORNING News as to
the reported deglutitIon of the Chattanooga.
Rome and Columbus railroad, but hs could
only state that he was not aware of any
Atlanta TO the MORNING News
of yesterday, renewed the runor
by announcing that the Central has bought
the Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus rail-
road and also the Covington and Macon
railroad. The attention of Cen Alexander
was called to the dispatch by a MORNING
News reporter yesterday, and the president
more emphatically than | did the other day
that the rumor is utterly unfounded- "
"But it is reported that the Central has
bought the Macon and Covingtone"
What l have said applies to all
roads. Gen. Alexander replied.
1t appears from Gen. Alexander's state
ments that in adding the Macon and Gov
ington to the report the unfounded story is
increased only that much, that is all. If

roads, President Alexander says that he is
in the dark about it; and if transaction Of
this nature were to take place he would be
the party to negotiate 1t.
'lf the Central took notion to swallow
these roads, neither is large enough a
Central man said, after reading tho dis
patch. ito choke 1t. The management is
not afraid but that the Central could gulp
the little lines down gracefully before the
ava of fha md. NOR hoN "a h.,

Referring to, the rumor that the Louis
vile and Nashville system will purchase the
Marietta and North Georgia road, it is no
secret in railroad circles that the Louisville
and Nashville have their eye on the road,
and 1t is believed that, if negotiations were
not under way before the completion of the
Marietta and North Georgia TO Knoxville,
they will soon open, if they have not
porter, in an interview with Maj. A. l..
Hartridge yesterday, put the question direct
whether or not the Louisville and Nashville
had purchased, or if they were not about
to purchase the Marietta and North Geor-
gia, and he replied that the Louisville
and Nashville has not made the purchase,
| and If it is negotiating for the road he has
| not yet been informed of it. a. -.-
The company which extended the Marietta
and North Georgia road TO Knoxville has
received this week the $3.50, 900 worth of
| bonds which we're voted the road by the city
Of Knoxville, and now thatth bonds have
changed hands it is believed that the road
will be sold at an early date; in fact it is
thought that if the projectors of the roari
had not had its sale in view they would have
begun before this time the work Of con-
struction on the extension from Marietta to
Atlanta. The Louisville and Nashville may,
however, have rival, as it is understood
that the Richmond and DanYille folks have
an eve on the new road.

A QUESTION OF COMMISSION.
A Knotty Case Goes Up TO the su-
preme Court.

Knotty Case Goes Up TO the Su-
preme Court.
Lester g. Ravenel, counsel for John C.
Peck, filed in the Office of the clerk of the
city court yesterday bill of exceptions in
the case of l. D. LaRoche e. Son against
Mr.. Peck. The suit was brought by plain
tiff to recover $500 commission for negotia-
ting the purchase for Peck of the property
on the southeast corner of South Broad and
West Broad streets, Peck claiming to have
paid the commission and refused to pay the
bill when presented, whereupou suit was
brought. During the whole progress of the
case exceptions were inteFpesed by defend
ants counsel. 4r
The petition was fled April Ii, 1889, and
process being returnable at the May term,
1889, and the papers not being served until
Oct. Is, 1889, defendants counsel, on Feb.
IL last, made motion to dismiss the petit
ton. which the court refused TO do, and
defendant excepted, thereupon, on the
same day, plea Of Jurisdiction
was filed by defendants counsel, the de-
PENDANT alleging that he was a resident of
Atlanta, and the suit should have been in
stituted there, but on the charge of the
court the jury found against the bill of
jurisdiction, whereupon the defendants
counsel again excepted. -a
The case was heard March 4 on general
issue, and a verdict and Judgment was OBJ
tanned by the plaintiff for $500. The de-
PENDANT followed with motion for a new
trial, which was overuled by the court, to
which ruling exceptions were taken and the
case goes to the supreme court for review.

Printing.

In no business where machinery, mechan
ical skill and artistic taste are necessary to
produce good results has there been So great
demand made upon its resources as has
been upon that of printing and its kindred
arts, lithographing and book binding dur
ing the past tan years The users of such
work-and there are but few persons who
are not-are exacting and discriminating.
They demand, as rule, the best workman
ship, the best grades OF paper,
and also require the utmost prompt
ness in the execution of their orders
The printing office of to-day must DO
prepared to tosmeets the requirements of
those who have work to give out, or other
wise 1t must be satisfied with II very small
share of public patronage. The COMPETE
ton Is not with the establishments at home
only, but with every printing house from
the Atlantic TO the Pacific, and from the
lakes to the gulf Some times the competi-
ton is with concerns that have no printing
departments at all, but who farm out TO
1mpecunlous printers and binders the work
their solicitors bring to them. Such cou-
Germs in many instances can afford to work
on very small margin, or for no profit at
all, because whatever they get out of their
bankrupt funds is 50 much saved. The
home concern that has to stand on
its own bottom, do its own work and
pay its bills for paper aud its pay
rolls for labor, must DO strong enough to
enter into competition with all fair COM
petitors, and to have sufficient ba ckbone to
refuse orders that do not yield living
profit. The first requisite necessary for
successful competition against fair Compel
itors Is thoroughly equipped
and well organized establish
ment, where improved machinery
and good discipline bring the cost of pro-
duction down to a minimum. We claim
that the MORNING NEWS STEAM PRINTING
House is such an establishment. Its Book
and Job Printing, Lithographing and
binding Departments fatter themselves
that they.have succeeded in doing So and
are ready to fill orders of any magnitude
from one copy TO 100000 OF any class of
work desired in any of the many, simple or
elaborate, forms and designs demanded by
business or social requirements. They are
always pleased to furnish estimates in per-
son or by mail, and Will send an experienced
agent to any part Of the south where the
magnitude of an order or elabora-
tion OF detail require it. Each depart
ment Is in charge of a skilled foreman thor
oughly versed in the intricaoies and innu-
merable details requiring his constant care
and watchfulness and the smallest item is
given the same attention as the most ex-
pensive and elaborate production. They
extend the courtesfes Of the establishment
to their many friends and patrons, and are
never too busy to show them through one of
the most complete establish ments In the
states when they are honored by visit.

MARRIAGE IN CHURCH CIRCLES
Mrs. Inskip, the Bride, Well Known in
Savannah.

Savannah.
The New York Herald announces the
marriage at Ocean Grove, N. j., on Monday
last, of Mrs. J. Inskip of that place to the
Rev. DR.. Ashley L. S. Bateman, pastor of
the Memorial Methodist church at Egleston
Heights, the new camp meeting resort in
Florida Mrs. Batemans first husband was
the Rev. John Inskip, a noted Methodist
divine, who occupied pulpits in many of the
prominent cities in the north, and he was at
the time of his death editor of the Christtan
Standard
Many church-going people of this city
remember Mrs. Bateman we'll, as she was
here with her late husband few years ago,
when he was holding series of revivals in
Savannah, being ably assisted by her. She
was one Of the party Of which her deceased
husband was the leader, that circumnavi-
gated the globe in the interest Of the sancti-
fication doctrine. The party carried a
portable church with them and conducted
successful meetings in Europe, Asia, Africa
and America. She is the leader of the
children's meetings held during the camp
meetings at Ocean Grove.
After the ceremony the bridal couple left
for Florida, where they will reside in the
future, and where Mrs. Bateman hopes to
establish a permanent Methodist camp
meeting. The marriage was kept a secret
and was a great surprise to the friends of
the bride and groom.

Pure w alter.

An article in the Times of the 9th states
that some of our citizens send away for
spring water Cor drinking purposes. Why
should they do this when by the use OF one
of Pasteur's Germ Proof Filters the river or
artesian water can be made absolutely pure
and wholesome2
This is new invention by the celebrated
French physician after whom it is called.
The water is forced through number of
porcelain tubes, which are so arranged as to
be protected from the least danger of con-
tamination, as it passes directly from the
hydrant. Physicians and otherS interested
are invited to inspect its workings at the

THE NEW STEAMER ALPHA.
A Trial Trip to be Made Tomorrow
Evening.

evening.
The new steamer Alpha, just near ing
completion and the best iron hull boat
built at this port, will soon be ready for
business and schedule will be published
next week for her route between Savan-
nah, Button, Port Royal and Beaufort.
She will be inspected tomorrow morning
by the United States inspectors and in the
evening she will probably make trial
trip.
The Alpha is as pretty a modelled boat as
has ever been seen in these waters. She
has a large spacious and open saloon
seventy-tive feet long and twenty-one feet
in width, the flooring of which will be COW
cred with linoleum. Her companion ways
are different from any other boats in these
waters, having doors SO that everything
can be closed up during cold weather. The
crews quarters are below on the
main deck, and even the hunks
for the roustabouts, or deck hands,
are provided with patent springs
and everything to make them comfortable.
She has nice quarters for the officers in the
stern of the boat on the main deck, and also
toilet rooms on both sides of the main and
upper decks.
A feature about the boat is her whistle.
1t is termed the mockingbird whistle, the
first of the kind ever used here. Everything
entering into the construction of the Alpha
is of home production.
The officers of the new steamer will be
Capt. H. A. Strobhar master, Peter B.
Finney mate and Charles Gross engineer.
She will go out with a colored excursion
Sunday morning for Bluffton. s. c.

represented Liberty county in the last
House. McIver was suspected of having
been innoculated by Hon. William Clifton of
Chatham, his guardian angel, with more de-
mocracy than was good for his system and
the republican convention laid the old man
on the shelf this week, nominating w. j.
James (colored). There were five oandi-
dates before the convention, and the digni-
fled and courteous ex-representetive from
Liberty received the lowest vote in the con-
vention.
The republican politicians who dominated
the convention seemed 20 think that be-
cause democratic House seated McIver in
the contest, McIver was too grateful and,
therefore, the edict went forth that he must
be slaughtered, and so he was beaten out of
