But he kept on a-kickin' and a-sweartn' and

Rumors about the Iease.


There are rumors that an effort is TO be
: made to break the contract by which the
/ Richmond and Danville controls and oper-
ate the, Central. though they cannot be
/ traced 20 any authentic source. Tie attor-
| nsys here and Ia Atlanta, who are supposed
/ to know Whether or not they have any
| foundation, refuse TO confirm or deny them.
It is probable that it would not be diff
cult TO break the lease. Those who now
! control the Richmond Terminal do not ap-
pear 10 be particularly anxious 70 have the
lease remain ia force 1t is known that Gen.
Thomas and Mr.. Brice were against il when
it was made. and it Is not known that
they have changed their attitude with
respect 20 it. If, therefore. the stockholders
should express a desire to have the Central
operated as an independent system there aD-
pears to be ground for thinking they could
have their desire gratified without going
into the courts and involving the road in
expensive litigation.
There has always been a question whether
the lease is not violation OF the oonstitu-
ton. That question was fully argued at
the last session Of the legislature. All that
could be said on either side was said at
that time. Il may be assumed, therefore.
that the obstacles in the way OF breaking the
lease ere not formidable.
But would the stockholders or Savannah
be benefited by the breaking Of the lease
That Is a very important question. If the
lease were broken, the Richmond Terminal
would still control the Central system, be-
cause 1t owns a majority OF the stock, and
1t would operate the road so as TO get the
best returns, without regard to SavannAh's
interests. 1t would cost more TO operate
the road as an independent system
than it does now, and the road would
encounter the competition Of both
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
and also the Richmond and Danville It's
net earnings, therefore, would in all proba-
bility be much less than they are now, and
the chance Of the stockholders getting a
dividend for several years would not be
very promising. The majority OF stock
holders might get something by making the
road contribute to the earnings Of the Rich
mond and Danville and the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia. In that case bust
ness would be drawn away from Savannah
instead Of 10 Der.
As long as the lease is In force it is to the
interest of the Richmond Terminal to make
the Central earn all it can because the sur
plus earnings will 60 into its treasury. The
natural seaboard outlet Of the Central and
the Richmond and Danville is Savannah.
and, therefore, Savannah must be the sea-
port Of the two systems. In the
present condition Of affairs 1t looks
as IL ii were to the interest of
Savannah and the stockholders of
the Central TO have the lense remain in
force. II there should be shown a DISPOSE
ton to wreck the Central that would Of
course be another matter. The minority
stockholders would then take such steps as
they thought best TO protect their interests.

The French literary community has been
stricken, in the person of the brilliant Guy
de Maupassant, who has become desperately
insane. For some time his friends have sus-
pected that something was wrong with him,
but it was not until tho first of the present
week that their fears were verified, when he
made various attempts on his own life, and
it was found necessary to put him In a
strait jacket. De Maupassant is only Al
years old. and as a novelist ranks with lola,
Alphonse Daudet and Bourget. Short
dramatic stories were among his best efforts,
and msny of his books are of such charac-
ter that they may be read long after lola
is forgotten.

A story worthy of Poe's imagination, and
In many respects similar to his production,
comes from Russian Poland. A village
physician, to all appearances, died, and was
buried. A few hours after the mourners
departed from the cemetery some men who
were engaged about the grounds heard a
succession of most unearthly shrieks COM
ing from the direction of the newly filled
grave Shovels were procured after the
men recovered from their fright, and the
grave opened. Upon lifting out the coffin
it was found that the doctor had been alive
when he was buried. but had subsequently
died of suffocation. after mutilating his
face, hands and limbs in q vain attempt to
escape. Poe's hero burst the end of his
CONN and lived to describe its horrors; but
the poor doctors strength failed to lift the
weight of earth after the coffin lid had been
split

The Fusion in Minnesota.
From the st. Louis Republic.

By the fusion arranged between the demo-
Gratis and farmers alliance in Minnesota the
democrats win secure five of the electoral votes
of that state. These, added to the eight votes
from Michigan which are rendered certain by
the recently adopted method of choosing tbs
electors of that state by districts instead OF by
general ticket, make thirteen votes to be added
TO the democratic column from states which
have for years been set down AS certainly re-
publican. 1t is probable that the entire
electoral vote of Wisconsin will be added to
make an encouraging show in the nsxtelsctorsl
college.
