GUS friends here who we're panied to hear of

The projectors OF the Middle Georgia and

called to reassemble in Savannah, Ga, on Mon

resolution adopted at the meeting of March 90
1892, and also after consultation with the presi,
dent and officers Of the Seaboard Company il is
confidently hoped aud expected that as many
stockholders as is possible will be present, in
person, as matters OF general and serious inn
portance will be laid before the meeting for
determination and action.
Among these matters, will be that OF the issn-
ance or preferred stock to the extent of 5000 CO.,
or other large amount, and the raising of money
Immediately. upon ono plan or another. for the
carrying on OF the company's work.
The several plans for raising money, heretofore
relied on, have not succeeded; it becomes neces
sary, therefore, TO adopt others If stockholders
do not take sufficient interest in the value of their
own stock to attend this meeting in person then
they must be content to leave TO the determ ina
ton of those present the adoption of such
measures as may be deemed best, and they can
not, therefore, complain II the results Of said
meeting prove to be damaging to the value Of
their stock.

will be taken to build the seventy-five

NOT DEAD YET.

Tison's Victims still Lingering.
Green's Leg Amputatsd.
Williams and Green, the victims Of Tison's
shotgun. are still alive at the Georgia
inf1rmary, but the physicians think it is
only a question of a short time when both
will be relieved from their sufferings by
death. Both men are steadily sinking.
Green's leg was amputated yesterday
morning at the upper third Of the thigh, but
the operation didn't improve bis condition.
1t is thought he may even succumb be-
fore Williams, who is terribly wounded in
the side. The only possible chance of saw
ing Green's life was to amputate his limb.
but the shock to his system from the wound
was so severe and the loss OF blood so great
before he received any medical attention
that even this desperate remedy will hardly
avail.
Fields and jackson, Tison's companions
at the time of the shooting, were both
turned over to Justice Davidson by Mayor
McDonough yesterday morning They
were committed to jail es accessories to
Tison's crime.

A Cheeky BURGLAR.

A Negro Robs the House of Solicitor
General Fraser.
A negro has got even with Solicitor Gem
erai Fraser for sending him to the chain
gang, but after Chathams prosecutor gets
even with him the affair no doubt will be
rather one-sided.
Memorial day, while Solicitor General
Fraser and his family were spectators of
The ceremonies in honor of the confederate
dead at the parade ground, his house was
entered by burglars with false keys and
several articles stolen. Among them was 8
suit OF the solicitors clothes. The fact of
his house above all others being tackled by
burglars was sumner to the solicitor. The
affair was given over to Detective Morgan
for investigation, aud he took description
or the stolen articles.
Saturday night the detective captured
Aleck Lewis, an escaped chain gang convict
In his possession was bundle. Detective
Morgan took his prisoner 60 the barracks
and there he opened the bundles. His sur
Prise can be better imagined than de-
scribed when Solicitor General Fraser,s trous
ers were revealed to his gazs. The detect
i've questioned Lewis and he confessed to
have burg]ar1zed the solicitors house by
means OF keys. He saw the family go out
and as the neighborhood was very quiet at
the time, he thought it would be good OPP
portun1ty to make haul. Instead of going
back 60 the gang, Lewis was sent to jail to
answer the charge Of burglary.
The CASE of a man escaping from q chain
gang and coming directly back and robbing
the house Of the prosecuting attorney who
sent him there is something which is not
often paralieled anywhere. For idiotic
cheek Burglar Lewis of Savannah stands
unsurpassed. 3saer
1t will no doubt be an amusing sight for
spectators at the next term OF the superior
court to see Chatham's terror TO criminals
figuring on the witness stand identifying TO
jury his own clothes stolen by the man be
will at the same time representing for the
state. -
