In AND ABOUT THE CITY.
THE FIRST THROUGH rRAIrs.
The New Birmingham Route Inaugu
rated Last Night.

The New Birmingham Route Inaugu-
rated Last Night.
The through freight service on the Savan-
nah and Western and the Savannah,
Americas and Montgomery railroads was
inaugurated last night at midnight The
passenger service will not begin until later.
The first freight bound for Birmingham
over the route left Savannah at midnight
last night and will arrive in Birmingham at
2:l0 tomorrow afternoon. Returning, it
will leave Birmingham at 4 p. m and will
arrive here at $40 p N. of the second day
following. There will be two freights each
day. One will arrive in the morning aud
the other will 60 out at midnight.
The passenger service at present extends
no farther than Lyons, the western ter
minus OF the Savannah and w estern. The
train, which is an accommodation, leaves
Lyons at 5 O'Clock a. m, and arrives in
Savannah at 1880 o'clock a. m. The
Savannah, Americas and Montgomery rail-
road is running schedule from Americas
to Lyons, but connections are not made
with the Central No tickets have been put
on sale TO Americas via this route, and
little travel will be directed over it until the
roadbed settles and the track is thoroughly
reliable. The schedule which will
most likely be inaugurated after
the road is in a condition to be op-
Grated, is very nearly the same as that now
in operation on the Central proper. There
will be two daily passenger trains on the
line; one in, and the other out of Savannah.
One will arrive probably about o'clock in
the morning, and the other will go out
about or 5 o'clock in the afternoon. This
matter, however, is unsettled, aud will prob
ably be adjusted to-day by President s. II.
Hawkins, of the Savannah, Americas and
Montgomery railroad, and General Mama
ger Gabbett.
The Savannah, Americas and Montgom-
cry is completed from Americas TO Luvale,
ten miles east of the Chattahoochee river
1t is also completed from Americas to
Sterling, seventy miles from Savannah,
and from that point. by a traffic arrange
ment with the Georgia Central, enters
Savannah. When the road is completed to
Montgomery it gives another direct line
from Alabama to the Atlantic coast, shorter
than any other. Indeed, it is almost as
straight as an eagle can fly.
The recent visit of Col. Hawkins and Mr.
Hardaway to Montg emery was for the pur-
pose OF looking over the ground and securing
terminal facilities. The Montgomery city
council has already given them right of way
over certain streets in the northeastern
portion of the city, and they will have no
trouble in entering the city at convenient
point for passengers and business

wharf. The shed was of pitch pine and
made big blaze. 1t was consumed before
the department arrived. The engine and
boiler, IL Is believed, are badly damaged by
the heat Beyond the destruction of the
frame structure around them there
was no damage. The engine was
owned by Smith g. Kelly, but
had not been used by them
for several weeks. Mr.. Thomas employees
had been using it yesterday in saving wood,
and the fires were banked up at 6 o'clock
last night. 1t is supposed that the wood

the shed was closed up. It is not known
whether there was any insurance on the

PREPARING FOR A BIG TRAFFIC.
The Central Railroad Receiving Its
New Rolling Stock.

The Central Railroad Receiving It's
New Rolling Stock.
The Central is receiving its new locomo-
tives ordered some time ago. 1t will have
received by the end of this week twenty
new engines, and twenty more will be here
before July. Half of the engines received
since the order was placed are freight en-
gines, two are passenger engines, and the
others are shifting engines.S 6
Fourteen OF the engines to be received
during May and June will be freight en-
glnes, four passenger and two shifting en-
gines.
The new engines are Baldwin make and
weigh $4,000 pounds each. They represent
an outlay of over 100000. The most of
them will be used on tine Centrals main
stem The Others will be placed on the
other stems, the Southwestern, the Savan-
nah and Western and the South Carolina
divisions. They will displace a good many
| light engines which will be transferred to
the branch roads, the Milledgeville, the
Talbotton and other branches.
The order for l,2OO new freight cars is
| nearly filled. Whea these are received the
| Central will be in splendid shape to handle
the business of the approaching season.
General Manager Gabbett has made sew
| eral tours over the system to find out what
the road might expect. and his impression
| IS that the traffic will be an increase over
last season-the heaviest which the line has
| eyer had. More farmers are planting-and
| planting extensively. The successes of last
| year have inspired them, and the outlook
now is for the largest acreage the state ever
saw. In nearly all sections land is being
cleared up and titled; old fields are being
put under cultivation, and the farmers are
| going III this season in earnest. Besides,
the coal and iron regions of the
great west are developing every day.
While the traffic from that usource was
enormous last season, those who have sur
veyed the field recently believe that it will
] this year go far beyond last years record.
| General Manager Gabbett has been over
| on the South Carolina division for several
days to see what that part of the Central
| needs, Several of the new locomotives will
be placed there. Some are already running
on that line. A great deal OF work is being
| done right now, getting things in shape for
the coming season in a passenger as we'll as
! freight way.
| The excursion business this year, a rail-
road man said yesterday, will be greater
| than ever known before Ar
| There are more big dates already ar
| ranged when excursion trains will be run
than ever known before With every year
| this kind Of traffic increases and the demand
| for more motive power and car capacity is
SO great as to warrant a considerable addi-
ton to last years equipment.

Changing the Alarm Stations.

The work Of putting up the new fire
alarm boxes and changing the old ones will
begin this morning. A new box will be
established on South Broad and Randolph
streets. The number will be II. No. 81
win be removed from the cotton press and
72 will be put there No. 81 will be taken
from the Gordon wharves and 70 will be
established there. On the Central railroad
side No. 35. the Central cotton press, will be

railroad warehouse, will be replaced by No.
SO, and Central railroad wharf will be No 81.
Chief Puder said that he will push the
work as rapidly as possible. The work OF
changing the boxes will be naturally slow,
as the distances to be moved are great. For
instance, one Of the boxes on the wharves
will be moved to station on Gordon or
CASTOR streets.

A New Houston Street Blaze.

at $50 o'clock last night an alarm was
turned in from box No. Al, and the com
panies at headquarters responded. When
the firemen from headquarters reached the
fire they found engine No. there, having
been called by telephone. The fire was in
the rear room of the house No. 90 New
Houston street, occupied by Mrs. E. McPike.
The fire started in a bedroom from the
explosion of a lamp. The bed cloth
ing and bedstead were burned.
The pictures, chairs, bureau and other fur
niture were scorched badly, and the ceiling
and window frames were burned. Aside
from the damage to furniture the loss is not
over SIS. The house is owned by p. Cohen,
and is insured in Wheaton's agency. The
firemen had little trouble in extinguishing
the blaze when they got at it. The difficulty
was in getting to the fire, owing to the fact
the electric lights in the streets were not
burning. Every light was out, and the
firemen had to pick their way cautiously
along Drayton street for fear of running
into some obstruction or colliding with some
vehicle

Chamberlain of the South Carolina railway

the rumors of the purchase Of the road or
its second mortgage bonds by the Louisville

months ago he believed there was something

was absolutely nothing in It. Railroad
deals, he added, were very uncertain things,
and no one could tell how theys would turn
out. Receiver Chamberlain leaves here to-
morrow for New York, whence he only re-
turned on Sunday last
