General Manager Gabbett of the Central
railroad, in speaking to MORNING News
reporter yesterday concerning the various

ments OF the Central railroad which have
Deen circulated 50 freely of late, said: $50
lar as am personally acquainted with the
Iacts there Is not one word of truth in the
reports that have been put in circulation
Mr.. Gaobett is certainly in O position to
Kno" II there is any truth in these rumors.
b. G. Epperson Of Louisville has been ap-
pointed superintendent of the Carolina
division Of the Central railroad, wi b head
quarters at Augusta, to take effect March
vice j. d. Averill resigned. Mr.. Epperson
has been connected with the Louisville and
Nashville railroad for a long number of
years, and has fine record as a railroad
man. For twenty years he was a conductor
on the Louisville and Nashville railroad,
running on the main stem. He
division superintendent Of the Mobile
and Montgomery division of
the Louisville and Nashville, when Mai
Belknap went to Vicksburg and remained as
superintendent Of that division until he was
removed to take charge of what is known
as the Louisville Short Line from Louisville

The Central railroad will establish a
through sleeping car schedule between
Savannah and Asheville about April l, for
the accommodation of toe summer travel.
Two OF the new sleepers, the Augusta and
the Spartanburg, and one of the old ones,
that has been remodeled, will be put upon
this service. The schedule will be as follows:
Leave Savannah $40 o'clock D. M, and
arrive at Asheville 8 o'clock D. m. the fol-
lowing day. Leave Asheville 1910 O'Clock
a. M, and arrive at Savannah $3.50 O'Clock
a. m. the following day. The Cen.
tral train will run seventy miles
over the Richmond aud Danville railroad,
from Spartanburg to Asheville. Besides
being OF great convenience and saving a
change of cars at Spartanburg this schedule
has the advantage of giving a daylight run
through the lovely stretch of country be-
tween Spartanburg and Ashevile both
going AMI returning, which is in itself a
great attraction.

vigorous Thrashinnr

Katie Dean Gives Richard Mcdonald a
Vigorous Thrashing
Currytown was treated to a sensation and
Richard Mcdonald to quite a surprise yes
terday afternoon. The latter was horse.
whipped by irate Katie Dean, of whom it Is
alleged Mcdonald spoke very disrespect-
fully.
The language having come to Katie's ears.
she determined that Mcdonald should be
punished. She armed herself with cow
hide, and in company with two young men
she went in search of Mcdonald He was
found in Conrad Schwarz's place at Wayne
and Jefferson streets, in company with two
of the demi-monde of that part OF the town.
Nothing daunted, however, Miss Dean
walked in upon the trio and proceeded with
the business she had in hand. She laid her
cowhide over McDonald's face, neck and
shoulders until she was tired, and the young
men accompanying her stood by to see that
she was not molested.
The only demonstration made by McDon-
aid was to draw his pistol on the woman.
but the cowhide flew through the air SO
rapidly that he was dazed.
Mcdonald lives on Charlton street, be-
tween West Broad and Montgomery, and
was clerk on the Ocean Steamship Com
pany's wharf up to a couple of weeks ago.
The young woman, it Is said was quite
tavorably impressed with the young man
until few weeks ago, when, from some
cause or other, a quarrel caused an iceberg
to spring up between them
