A NETWORK OF WIRES.
There is a perfect net work Of wires
around the market and at the corner Of
Barnard and Congress, many telephone
wires being among the number. Superin-
tendent Saussy pointed out several tele-
phone wires lying fat across the electric
railway wire. He said that as soon as the
current is turned on that line every one of
the telephone wires would be burned out.
He notified the telephone company and 1t
would have to look ont for it. The only
thing that can be done IL to raise the wires
Supt. Saussy said the question between
the electric railway and telephone wires has
been up in Nashville and elsewhere, and has
been decided in favor Of the street railway
companies. He has no fear of the result.
He cannot be eKpe ted 10 stop building a

with It's petition to the superior court for
injunction. The matter was referred to the
committee on streets and lanes.

TWILL PROBABLY BE INMAN.

Els Succession to the Central's Presi.
dsncy Generally Looked For.
The Associated Press dispatch from New
York, published in yesterdays MORN
ING News, announcing that Hugh I. In
man is TO be made president of the
Central Railroad and Banking Com
pany, is believed to be we'll founded.
The report has been confirmed at the office
OF the Richmond Terminal Com pany In New
York. Toe change, it is stated, will be de-
lnyed by the death of John II. Hall, presi-
| dent OF the Georgia company and vice
president of the Central. Mr.. humans
salary, it was stated. will be $40, 900 wear.
This report, coupled with the fact
that Mr.. lnman has manifested unusual
interest for a director in the affairs of
the Central railroad since the recent annual
election, and appears 10 be taking an active
part In Its manaEement, tends
10 confirm the report Mr.. Inman
has spent considerable time recently In go-
ing over the road and looking into its
affairs. His visit to Savannah last week
certainly meant something.
A MORNING NEWS reporter had it on
good authority that Mr. Inman, while here.
made an examination Of the finances
of the Central railroad and looked closely
into its receipts and expenditures. What
the financial management of the present
administration is not known. Mr. Inman
Is somewhat sphynx-like to reporters.
The last report. however, comes as a con-
tirmatlon OF the many previous reports that
Mr.. lnman had been made president of the
Central railroad, or that he would be made
president. These reports have been pretty
generally circulated since the annual cleo
ton In January. and at one time it was be-
lieved that Mr.. Inman had been made presi-
dent. 1t is said that he did not deny it
when approached on the subject.
A MORNING NEWS reporter had a con.
versation with Mr.. Inman when he was in
Savannah last week, in which Mr.. Inman
made statement that furnishes good
grounds for the belief that he will be the
next president Of the road. The reporter
was very anxious to find out il there was
anything 10 the reports that Mr.. Inman
had been made president or had been
offered the presidency Of the Central, and
Mr.. lnman appeared to be correspondingly
disposed not to talk upon the subject.
1T is believed that you are to be made
president Of the Central, or that you are
already president"
20, l don't know" replied Mr.. Inman.
Alexander is president now, for this year,
anyway"
win there be a change next yearr' he
was asked.
Can't say; we elect a president every
year, you know" was the reply.
The impression was that there will be
change next year. Gen. Alexander ia now
in New York, where he has been for several
DAYS
An Atlanta dispatch to the MORNING
NEWS last night says: "Now that the
rumor of Mr. Hugh T. Inman's appoint
nent az president of the Central railroad
has apparently been confirmed at the
Terminals New York office, Mr.. Inman de-
mics that the appointment has been made. ~

is almost ready for its holy purposes, and a
new organ is required. The committee in
charge Of the matter has decided to have
the organ built, as far as its outside appears
ance was concerned, as nearly as possible like
the old organ, which was removed Just be-
fore the fire. Inquiries were set afoot to
ind out what had become of the iustru-
ment, ana it was discovered that the
parties who took it out had, after overhaul
ing 1t, sold it to the First Bryan Baptist
church, a colared congregation of this city.
A draughtsman was sent there, and the
measurements were taken, and a sketch of
the old instrument was made for the builders
OF the new organ. OF course the organ is
to be OF the most improved kind, but in ap~
pearance it will be the same as the old
Gothic structure that was so familiar to
the attendants at the Independent church.

A SHORT LINE 10 TAMPA.

The Distance Between Savannah and
Tampa to Be Reduced Sixty Miles.
Surveys are being made for a railroad
from Pemberton, Fla, to a point on the
Gainesville division Of the Savannah, Flor
ida and Western railway, and the work of
construction will begin this spring. This
proposed extension is a part of the South
Florida railroad system, and its building
was authorized at the last meeting of the
stockholders of that company. The
road will be about eighty miles in
length, and win shorten the distance from
Savannah to Tampa as compared with the
present route, about sixty miles. The OBJ
jeosi building the new line is doubtless to
avoid the long detour by way of Jackson
vile, and to reduce the time OF the fast mail
between New York and Havana. The
road will have a very important and ia
vorahle bearing upon the trade between
Florida and Savannah.
