For Savannah Trade.

SAVANNAH, March 6.-Surveys are be-
ing made for railroad from Pember-
ton, Fla, to point on the Gainesville
division of the Savannah, Florida and
Western railway, and the work of con-
struction will begin soon. The road will
be about eighty miles in length and will
shorten the distance from Savannah to
Tampa, compared with the present
route, about sixty miles. The object in
building the new line is to avoid the
long detour by way of Jacksonville, and
to reduce the time of the fast mail be-
tween New York and Havana, and the
road will have very important and fa-
vorable bearing upon the trade between
Florida and Savannah.

Morgan county authorities for safe keep
ing until trial can be had in that couD-
ty.

ing steps to place mileage books on the
market at the two cent rate, and this

The Tennessee Senate defeated by

The action of the Senate in this particular

CHARLOTTE, N. c., March G.-Early
Thursday morning, fire was discovered
in the buildings of the Monroe high
school, at Monroe, N. G.
The flames had already gained consid-
cradle headway before those asleep in
side were aroused, and it was with con-
siderable difficulty that any of the stu
dents escaped.
Thomas Pemberton and Albert Boast,
two young men, were sleeping on the
third floor, and did not wake up until
the flames were on all sides.
They jumped from their bed and
rushed frantically to the stairway, and
finding it mass of flames, they hurried
to the windows, but they were all in a
blaze.
The poor students, finding that they
were hemmed in on every side, fell up
on the floor and their bodies were Gre
mated
The college building, which was COM
pletely destroyed, was worth $4,000.
The origin of the fire is not known.
