TO BUILD TO THE SALTS.
THE SOUTH LAKE AND GERMAN
TOWN RAILWAY SCHEME.

q Company Informally Organized and
Charter to be Applied For at
Orce-The Road to Run to Rosedew,
Montgomery, and to Take in Vernon
Park-An Artificial Lake to be Fed
by Artesian Wells to be Dug, and a
New Town to be Established.
The South Lake and Germantown rail-
way is the name of new company in
formally organized to build a railroad
twelve miles in length, from the city, from
Montgomery and Twelfth streets TO Rose
dew, on the Little Ogeechee river, and
from thence to an accessible point on Vernon
river, which, it is believed, means to reach
Montgomery.
The projectors of the road have been
quietly working up the company, aud did
not intend to divulge their scheme 80 soon,
but the contest between the friends of the
Ten Brock course and Vernon park in the
Jockey club compelled the projectors Of
the road to show their hand, and to induce
the Jockey club to select Vernon park as
the clubs course, the guarantee was YER
bally given that railroad would be built
TO the park by Feb l, 1891. The South Lake
and Germantown railway is the one re-
ferred 70. 1t is the enterprise of the De
Soto Investment Company, and the Vernon
Park Company is friendly ally.
TO BUILD RIGHT AWAY.
IN an Interview with a MORNING News
reporter last night one of the prominent
stockholders in the South Lake and Ger
mantown railway says 1t is proposed TO
build the road as soon as it obtains "A

expiration of sixty days. He says that the
company will construct an artificial lake
covering an area of ten acres, and fed by
artesian wells, which will be located on the
line of the road and 10 be known as South
Lake" and Germantown will be the name
of new town to be built on the line Of rail-
way.
The motive power has not yet been de-
termined upon, but il is thought it will
sign of the company to make the road
freight and passenger road, and it is ex-
pected that there will be heavy traffic of
fish, oysters and vegetables.
TO APPLY FOR RIGHTS OF WAY.
Application will be made to the city coun-
ell for the right-ot-way along certain streets
in the city, but these streets have not vet
been determined upon. 1t is the in
tention to have accommodating sched-
ules, and particularly arranged 50
that the road will accommodate the business
men who now summer ON the salts, or who
may hereafter acquire suburban summer
homes along the line, and quick
time win be one of the special features of
the schedule.
The capital stock Of the road win be
$4,000, but the privilege of increasing it
will be asked for in the petition for char

will compose the officers and board of direc.-
ors of the company:

A COURSE SELECTED.
The Jockey Club Decides on Vernon
Park for It's Meetings.

The Jockey Club Decides on Vernon
Park for It's Meetings.
The Savannah Jockey Club held a meet
ing in the gentlemen's reading room of the
Pulaski yesterday, and decided upon Yer
non park as the course where the events of
the club shall be held, and Messrs. C. NJ.
Cunningham, 8. Guckenheimer and Lewis
w. Haskell were appointed committee to
close the contract with the Vernon Park
Company.
There were two propositions before the
club. The Agricultural and Mechanical AS
ISOLATION proposed to repair the Ten Brock
course grounds and give them to the jockey
club free of charge for the race meetings
and the use Of the stables for such time as
might be required for the accommodation
of the horses which might be present. The
club TO keep and place the track in order,
and after the first year to keep the stables
In repair. The surplus receipts, excepting
subscription of members, to be divided be-
tween the association and the jockey club,
after the expenses of the races, keeping of
track in order, repairs advertising, etc.
The agreement to run as long as successful
meetings are held by the jockey club.
The proposition of the Vernon Park Com
pany was that it would charge nothing the
first year and for the three succeeding years
Sl,UOO year, payaOle at the end OF the
racing week each year. The company to
keep track, grounds, stables and fencing in
repair, and the jockey club to have all rev
enues from sale of privileges except rent OF
stables. The club to have exclusive use for
one week for races, bad weather excepted,
when the following week should be given
also in the spring and fall.
This proposition was accepted, with
amendments permitting the club to hold
races for an indefinite number of weeks in
the spring and fall, and giving stabling free
for all horses owned by those who enter
horses for any of the races The building
Of a railroad, to be IN running operation
from the city to Vernon park by Feb l,
1891, was made condition by the Jockey
club
There was very strong minority who
favored Ten Brock course as being nearer,
with better track, better facilities, wide
reputation among turfmen and no toll to
pay for the drive to and from the grounds
They were outvoted, however, and most OF
them left the room at once Others re-
manned and fought for the amendments,
and the committee is expected to see that
the contract is in accordance with the
amendments
After the course had been decided upon,
Messrs. John T. Roberts and Thomas G..
Crawford of Valdosta were elected mem
bers of the jockey club.
The declination OF Maj. A. L. Hartridge
to serve as vice president of the club was re-
ceived, but no action was taken upon it.

FIRE DEPARTMENT JorTINGs.

Electrician Cullom Resigns-The City
Exchange Magnet Burned Out.
John F. Cullom, electrician of the fire
alarm telegraph service, has resigned and
has gone on a NARROWING expedition. Supt.
Keck of the Brush Electric Light Company
is acting for the present. and with view of
overhauling the system and putting it in
better condition. 1t is understood that Mr..
Cullom said he couldn't keep the system up
to the standard. The daily test of the boxes
inaugurated in May last has on more than
one occasion resulted in finding a box out
of order.
1t was discovered yesterday that box 9
had been burned out during the electric
storm of Sunday night. Chief Engineer
Puder had box 46 taken from Henry and
Bull streets to replace box until the latter
can be repaired, which will be done in a
couple of days, when box 46 will be returned
TO its post.
The magnet in the city exchange tower
was burned out by an electric wire Mon
day morning, and the bell in the tower will
not ring for an alarm of fire until the mag
net can be repaired. 1t was sent off by ex-
press yesterday to the Gamewel Fire
Alarm and Telegraph Company, New York,
for repairs, and it is expected that 1t Will be
returned some time next week.
The electrical storms of Sunday night and
early Monday morning have caused the fire
department considerable trouble from
crossed wires of the Electric Light Company
and the telephone company, and the chief
and assistant have been kept busy going
| over the fire alarm telegraph line setting
things to rights. Up to a late hour last
| night they had not found the wires out of
order from the storm of yesterday.

BULL STREETS LATEST.
A Bee Tree One OF the Sights OF the
Promenade.

Few people in Savannah have ever seen
bee tree, but if they have any curiosity
TO zee one they can satisfy il with very
little inconvenience A bee tree has been
located in the city and on one Of the princi-
pal streets, too. IL was hardly believed
sights Of Bull street, but it is there never
theless, and it can be viewed without
trouble as the bees are always too busy to
trouble those who do not trouble them.
The location which the little workers
have selected is the trunk Of a large oak on
the east side of the street, the third tree
from the corner Of Jones street. opposite
the Forest City ice cream garden. A few
feet from the ground there are three or
four small cracks in the bark Of the solid
looking oak, and the bees pour in and out
of these cracks all day long. No one would
ever suppose the tree to be hollow, but
the actions of the bees must be
acceptedIas good evidence as taat is. How the
bees came to find out that the tree was hol-
low and why they located there is a mys-
terry easily explained by the bees, perhaps.
They probably have a monopoly and have
no difficulty in securing sweets. There is
no probability of any one trying to rob the
tree, as it is too valuable to be cut down and
in too public a place. How long the bees
have been there nobody knows.
A MORNING NEWS reporter went out to
interview them, but found them too busy to
talk. They will probably continue to
gather sweets undisturbed, unless the city
authorities take action against them for do
ing business without license.

The Rains and the Cotton-A Big Corn
Yield Promised.

The Rains and the Cotton-A Big Corn
Yield Promised.
A merchant on Bay street. who has just
returned from tour through southern and
Southwestern Georgia and Florida, reports
that the farmers have been having consid-
cradle rain-in fact, quite too much-of
late, which will have a tendency to pro-
duce grass in abundance among the growing
cotton.
The upland cotton crop is somewhat be-
hind, fully week to ten days in that sec
ton, but it is growing magni6cently, with
no apparent drawback.
In sea islands the merchant says that the
crop is not backward at all, but is fully up
to the average of former years, and is grow
ing rapidly and fruiting beautifully,
and to all appearances is in splendid condi-
tiou. With continued uniform weather a
fine crop will be made. The stalk shows up
we'll and gives signs Of being very prolific
Tn Q corn crop is also in splendid condition.
In fact, the weather has been, SO far, as
satisfactory for corn as it possibly could be,
and q very large yield is expected.
In che turpentine regions, however, mat
ters are not very satisfactory. In point of
fact the rains have not been of as good SER
vice as it was expected they would be, owing
to the extreme hot weather, and they have
come too late to do much good,
as rosin and turpentine, to flow
freely, require both uniform moisture and
Temperature. The weather the past
spr ing and summer has been neither. The
gentleman says he has never seen as many
dry faces in the woods during his expert
ence as he saw on his last trip. In his own
crop he says the virgin boxes will produce
probably an average crop, but in the sec
ond crop the production will hardly reaci
one1haIf the usual amount.

hot, many moneyed men were out of town,

take their chances at private sale. Conse-
