RAIL AND CROSSTIE.

]. E. Englerth, the Central's agent at
Macon, was in town yesterday visiting his
old friends previous to his departure for
Kansas, where he goes on March 1.
Atlanta's latest railroad scheme is for the

Atlanta is made up of four divisions The

Carolina hne-the Bedford and James River

w. Berry is president. The third
division is from the line between

GUYTON FIRE-THRRAFENED.
Forest Fires Carry Burning Flake
Into the Village and Threaten 1t
Destruction.

Forest Fires Garry Burning Flakes
Into the Village and Threaten It's
Destruction.
All Guyton turned out Sunday afternoon
to fight fire, and only by the good work of
the bucket brigade and Charles Edmund
sons force pump we're the residence of Col.
r. j. Davant and the stables and outhouses
saved from destruction. Some of the fenc-
ing was burned and the shrubbery was de-
stroyed. A portion Of the fence was torn
down, and thus saved, as we'll as staying the
progress of the flames.
The fire originated from the glowing
flakes of a forest fire that came sweeping
iercely from the southeast, the cracking and
roaring Of the flames rising above the howl
OF the storm. The fire ran up TO the tops
of the highest trees
The country people saved their fencing
by tearing it down and hauling it to plowed
ground. The dwelling houses and outbuild-
ings of j. M. Rabun and Will Davant were
saved by burning around them, so that
when the fire reached the vicinity it had no
ma terial to feed upon.
The fire, after devasting the woods, killing
young trees, underground and flowers spent
its force in the shay" but when it was at its
hight it looked for awhile as if Guyton
would be fire swept, as the redhot embers
rained down in the village, and only by
vigilance was a confagration averted. The
fire which was on the Ogeechee side of the
railroad did not cross the latter, as the OPP
posite side of the railroad had been burned
over some two or three weeks ago.

A Rerculean Project,

Conceived by Mr.. Joel Hurt, has been car
ried out by the East Atlanta Land Company
within the last few years, the history of
which reads like fairy tale. 1t was
nothing less than cutting through three
solid blocks of valuable property on which
stood 100 houses that had to be condemned
and paid for, widening a narrow street
from end to end, building a double track
electric car line two miles in length, at a
cost of 100000, along a straight, broad
avenue leading directly from the heart of
the city. laying off in artistic style large
tract of naturally beautiful but un-
improved land, erecting handsome
buildings along the avenue as we'll as upon
the lovely park to which it led, and by
these and other woodworking means
converting a once comparatively modest
quarter of the city, lying between the
artesian well and Edgewood station, into
the most attractive residence portion of the
town.
Yet in nearly every feature of this big
undertaking the projectors of the enter
prise have already been successful, and but
little is left to do to realize the scheme in
its entirety. Edgewood avenue is now
the most handsome and the only straight
street of any length in the place. and
Innan park appears destined to become ere
long the most delightful location for homes
not only of this but Of any city in the
south.
1t is situated about two miles from At
lanta's center, on one of the highest points
about the city, at the eastern terminus of
Edgewood avenue, which is planted from
end to end, as are all the thoroughfares
of the park, with young trees,
many of which are live oaks
which'keep green all the year. 1t was laid
out by one of the best landscape gardeners
in the country, employed at salary Of
$500 per month and expenses, at the recon-
mendation of Peter Henderson of New
York. Seven or eight acres of the most
attractive portion of the property have
been devoted to handsome park and grass
plats fare scattered all about. There are
walks and rustic bridges and lake. One
sale Of lots has already been held, and
many Of the best citizens Of Atlanta were
among the purchasers. Four new resi-
dences have already been built and
occupied, and seven more are near
ing completion. The company itself
will spend about $500, 900 this year in build
ings.
On Feb. q fifty lots will be sold at auc-
ton. No purchaser is allowed to build a
house that costs less than s., 600, and it must
stand within given distance of the street.
1t is designed to make Inman park a col
lection of palatial residences

THE CENTaAIs DIRECTORS.

The Removal of the Grain Elevator
Talked over, But Not Decid ed Upon.
Gen. Alexander, president Of the Central,
returned yesterday morning from ST.
Augustine, and presided at the meeting of
the directors Of the Central Railroad Com
pany yesterday. Patrick Calhoun was the
only out-of-town member present.
Gen. Alexander was seen after the board
adjourned, and, in answer to an inquiry as
TO the results of the meeting, he said that
no matters Of public importance were acted
upon by the board, it being a meeting for
routine work
a MORNING News reporter inquired of
Gen. Alexander what action, II any, had
been taken looking TO the dismantliug OF
the Central's grain elevator, and he reported
that the matter has been before the board
for consideration, but that he has not yet
recommended the removal of the elevator.
He remarked that the elevator thus far has
not been profitable investment, and the
expense of taxes and insurance has TO be
kept up without any return, but that he
has not yet determined TO ask the directory
to authorize Its removal. and will not do SO
as long as there is no pressing demand for
room for increased wharf or warehouse
facilities, but il pushed for room he will
Gen. Alexander says that it has been
found difficult to get grain started this way
for foreign shipment, and one of the
principal obstacles in the way Is the limited
capacity of the elevator, which is but 270,-
900 bushels, and therefore not such as
would enable the company to handle large
shipments of different grades, such as are
handled by the more capacious grain eleva-
tors of tae north. Vessels come under
charter to take out certain grade of grain,
and an elevator to handle grain on large
scale should have facilities for storing the
different grades
Referring to the danger of grain heating
in this climate. Gen. Alexander said that he
thought this could be obviated by manipu-
lating the grain as 1t is done in the northern
cities. When grain begins to show signs Of
heating there, it is manipulated by carry
ing it by elevator buckets from the bin aud
returning 1t to the bin again, thus cooling
and airing the grain, and this method of
handling it could be done here, he thinks,
as well as at the north.
Gen. Alexander was highly pleased with
his Sunday in St Augustine. 1t was his
first visit to the ancient Spanish city.
There is large number Of northern tour
lists at the st. Augustine hotels, he says, and
the climate and surroundings are peculiarly
attractive.
He will visit New York this week, and
while north win attend the meeting Of the
Southern Railway and Steamship Associa-
ton.

THE WORLDS FAIR FIGHT.
Savannah's Interest in the Voting at
Washington.

Savannah's Interest in the Voting at
Washington.
Interest in the worlds fair reached its
highest point yesterday. The bulletin
boards were watched eagerly. 1t was plain
that the majority of those interested favor
ed New York. At every ballot when New
York seemed to be gaining there was a
cheer. 1t was not known how the
southern congressman were voting, and
there was good deal Of inquiry to get that
information. One hundred and fifty-four
votes we're sufficient to give the site to any
Of the four places voted for. 1t was be-
lieved that if New York secured her share.
such as she has always got, with the votes
of the south, which it was believed would 90
solidly with her, the site would be given to
the metropolis.
When it was found that the southern
congressman were splitting up, some voting
for New York. some for st. Louis, and some
for Washington confidence in New York's
strength wavered.
1t was thought that the idea was to defeat
the fair, by voting for an unpopular site. On
the first ballot, " hen it.was seenthat the vote
of the Georgia delegation was: New York
Barnes, Blount, Carlton, Lester
st. Louis-Candler, Crisp, Grimes.
and Turner, and Neutrality-suspicious.
the motive looked to be plain. 1t meant
defeat for New York, and victory to the
site least likely in the minds of many to
present enough attractions to the Senate to
ratify the action of the House, or to in
huence congress to say that the worlds fair
shall be held at ALL
