MORNING News POPULAR NOVELS

A Capital Idea and Pleasure to the
Public-Hint to Advertisers.
The enterprise Of the MORNING NEWS in
giving to its readers the charming novel,
maid. Wife or Widowm with Sundays
issue, met with the appreciation of the pub
lie. The paper had largely increased sale
and many bought extra copies to send away
to their friends. This novel idea will In
crease in popularity as the regular series are
issued, and from the impression created by
the first number the demand for Sundays
MORNING News will be greatly increased.
Next Sunday beautiful story will be
presented to each reader of the MORNING
News. IL is entitled "a Queen Amongst
Women, !" and is from the pen of the famous
and popular writer Charlotte NJ. Braeme,
the author Of the celebrated novel "Dora
Thorne" and other standard works.
While subscribers and the public gener-
ally are interested In these splendid novels.
and the sales of the paper increases, IL is
well for advertisers to think Of the great
advantages now offered in the columns OF
the Sunday MORNING News and arrange
for series Of Sunday advertising on scale
which will be Of great benefit to them,
particularly at this season when they have
goods for the holiday trade and wish 10 let
the public know Of the advantages they can
offer ii quality and prices.

He systematically Robbed Guests
livery Chance He Got.
Frank Lewis, who for some time has been
rested yesterday afternoon by Detective
HUMPHREYS for several robberies he had
committed on guests Of the hotel.
The first of these occurred about a month
ago. Early In the morning he went TO a
room to bring down a valise for a drum
mer, but he was so long at 10 that another
boy was sent after him. Lewis employed
his time in opening the valise and taking
from it some gold shirt buttons. The drum
mer never discovered his loss until he had
gone away, but he suspected the porter and
reported his loss TO the hotel. Last Thurs
day guest missed gold watch from his
room but investigation failed to spot the
thief, though it appears now shat Lewis is
very likely the man
He was detected Wednesday night steal
ing coat from the room OF a guest and
that act led to his arrest. He boldly entered
the room which was unlocked and while
the guest slept he tried to steal his coat and
vest. The gentleman woke up just as
Lewis was about to go out of the room and
shouted at him. He dropped his plhnder,
went downstairs and left.
The negro was found at his home yester-
day by the detective. He at first
denied everything but finally confessed
when the shirt buttons were found on him.
He denied having stolen the watch aud it
could not be found yesterday.
Those who suffered from Lewis robberies
were notified of his arrest by telegraph and
it is probable that some of them viii come
TO Savannah and prefer charges against

wApLEY,s IDEA or CoNrRAcrs.

It is understood on pretty good authority,
that the position taken by Supt. Wadley IN
the matter of contracts is that It is not
proper for a railroad TO make contracts
with a labor organization whose headqusrt-
ers are in some distant portion OF the
country from which their actions may be
dictated. He is willing to deal with the
employees Of the Central railroad as such,
but not as members OF any labor organiza-
ton.
1t lie understood that he will take this posi-
ton even in dealing with the engineers, and
will refuse TO recognize the brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers.
The interview OF the engineers commit
tee with Supt. Wadley in the early part
Of the week was not a pleasant one, it is
learned from friends OF the engineers.
Chief Arthur has been photographed for and
has promised to be in Savannah next week.
IL Supt Wadley sticks to his point in
dealing with the Brotherhood Of Locomo-
tive Engineers it is thought there will be
trouble. The brotherhood is recognized by
the large railway systems all over the
country and is not likely to yield Whss 1t
has previously enjoyed.

Mr.. YOUN9s PURCHASE.
He Thinks the Macon and Atlantic
VIII Be Built to Savannah.

He Thinks the Macon and Atlantic
Will Be Built to Savannah.
Mr.. John R Young has returned 10 the
city from Macon, where he purchased the
Macon and Atlantic railroad for the benefit
Of the creditors OF the corporation, and It is
now supposed that the road will be built
into Savannah. The plans. however, are
yet a secret among the principal operators.
The Macon and Atlantic railroad has had
some ups and downs since its organization.
The stockholders of the Georgia Southern
and Florida railroad and the Macon and
Birmingham railroad commenced projects
and operations some years ago, aud were
known as the Macon Construction Com
pany. When it was decided TO build a
road from Macon to Savannah, a company
was formed by New York and Savannah
capital, including the stockholders in
the Macon Construction Company, which
agreed TO take half-inter-
est In the project, amounting to
$4,000 The Macon Construction Com
pany subsequently, failed, end the Macon
and Atlantic railroad, which was heavily
involved, was forced to bankruptcy. The
road in the meantime had been completed
from Macon 10 Bruton, which is Just 81 X
miles north OF Dublin. The finest equip
ments for frst-class road had been used.
Prominent creditors who had claims
against the road naturally wished settle
ment, and they commenced legal proceed
ings, which resulted in an order of sale Of
the property.
Mr.. Young. who was materially interested
in the railroad, besides having his interests
conferred in this city, went to work to con
summate plan to settle the claims Of the
creditors OF the railroad, and therefore
bought the property at the auction sale
held at Macon Wednesday for $4,000. 1t
is generally believed the former creditors
who have made the purchase will finish the
construction of the road; and In that
event the business interests of Savannah
will be materially benefited.
