GEN. ALRxANDER Is OUT.

He will Not be Candidate for Re-elec-
ton to the Central Directory.
President Conner of the Central railroad
and also chairman of the board of receivers
left for Macon last night to consult with
Judge Speer upon matters relative to the
road. He will probably spend only to-day
and return tonight
1t has become known that Gen. Alexander
will not be candidate for reelection on the
board CT directors at the coming election,
or rather will not allow his name TO be used.
The expiration OF his dictatorship will sever
Gen. Alexander's connection entirely with
the Central. In speaking of this director
said yesterday that Gen. Alexander would
be a most valuable man TO have on the
board as, by reason Of his long acquaintance
with the system and his knowledge Of all
the intricacies OF its management and ar
raugements and agreements with its con-
neotions and competitors, he is Of vast as
sistance in its present situation.
Gen. Alexander has given the new man
agement the benefit of his kno Wedge freely.
This, it is said, he will continue to do as
long as desired, even after the expiration
of his term Of Office.
Judge Speer's order 70 compel the release
of 4, $50 shares Of the New England and
Savannah Steamship Company stock held
in escrow by the Central Trust Company of
New York to await the adjustment of the
claim of the Richmond and Denville against
the Central, and to compel the Richmond
and DRnville to pay over TO the Centrals
receivers the $4,000 Insurance ool-
iected after the burnt : of
the Macon depot, has been
fled with the clerk OF the United States
court here. 1t is not thought there will be
any difficulty in enforcing obedience to the
orders as the powers Of the court are 50
ample that il could adopt severe and sweep
ing measures to compel obedience. AS the
New England and Savannah Steamship
Company stock is held by the Central Trust
Company OF New York and not by the Rich
mond aud Danville, the order OF the court
will relieve the trust company OF ali re-
sponsibility and 1t can have no hesitation in
relinquishing the securities
The court directs a compliance with its
decree or orders the Richmond and Dan
Vile to show cause at Macon, April 20, why
it does not.
Assistant General Passenger Agent Hard-
wick of the Central railroad arrived back
from New York yesterday after au absence
of several days. He reports everything So
rene across the Potomac.
Capt. w, j. Craig has been appointed to
his old position Of general freight and pas
senger agent of the Port Royal and Augusta
and Port Royal and Western Caro-
lima railroads at Augusta, which
he held before the Richmond and Danville
took charge Capt. Craig is a very popu-
lar railroad man, and his appointment is
received with pleasure by all who know
him.
D. w. Appler has been appointed general
agent of the Central railroad at Atlanta
which position he formerly held under the
| old administration.
Pretty much all of the Centrars old EN-
ployes appear to be getting back again.

THE MILITARY FEATURE.
The military may or may not parade, just
as the employees Of the men decide. At q
recent meeting OF the board Of officers OF
the First Georgia regiment, the following
was passed:
Resolved, That it is not desirable to parade on
Military day Of Merchants week unless a guar
entee Is gwen by the railroad Offices business
houses and merchants generally that their
places OF business will be closed on that day at
O'Clock D. m. so TO allow their employees
who are members Of military companies to par
tlcipate In the parade.
The merchants nave been calling on the
military to help them out in their celebrat-
ing. Now the matter is placed in their

selves whether or not there will be any pa
rade.

that hotels and boarding houses will change

unfounded. The De Soto is advertising a

TIE PAwNHE's CARGO AFIRE.
Two of the Vessels Compartments
Flooded-The Damage Unknown.

Two of the Vessels Compartments
Flooded-The Damage Unknown.
Fire was discovered in No. hatch of the
British steamship Pawnee, loaded with cot
ton and lying in the slip at the Ocean steam
ship:wharves, last night a few minutes after
! Q o'clock.
Several Of the ofsw coming out Of the
! galley saw the smoke and raised the cry of
fire. A policeman on the wharf turned in
an alarm from Box No. 81, and the depart
mont responded in quick time.
When the fremen opened the hatch they
were greatly hampered in getting at the
| fire on account of the way the bales were
jammed in. Eight streams were turned in,
but nearly an hour aid a half we're cons
sumed Ia removing the key bale. After
this was got out tho others near it were
easily removed and the work Of flooding
tbs vessel began. The tug Regis assisted
for G while, but as it was evident the de-
partment was able to cope with the fire
the services OF the tug were dispensed with.
at midnight the firemen had poured
enough water into the vessel TO reach be-
tween the deck matches and cause the
Pawnee to list. The streams will be kept
steadily going, however, until the vessel is
completely flooded in the compartment In
which the fire is burning.
There are $500 bales in Nos. l AID COM
partments The matches are separated by
a wooden partition, but Chief Puder thinks
the great quantity of water being poured
into No. hatch will prevent the fire from,
spreading to No. l.
The Pawnee had been entirely loaded
was cleared, and was to have sailed for Liv-
erpool this morning at o'clock. She had
4 $50 bales OF cotton aboard and her matches
had been battened down since yesterday
afternoon. The origin of the fire OF course
Is unknown.
Wilder & Co. are agents Of the Pawnee
The loss cannot yet be estimated, but it is
fully covered by insurance.

In his response to "Our home, Savannah"
W. W. Osborne, Esq., took an entirely diff
ferent view from that usually followed in
responding to these toasts. Avoiding all
praise Of the present commercial greatness
Of the city and its possibilities, he took up
the duty of the citizen 10 the city as his
home. and pointed out the evils arising from
the existence OF class of men who, know
ing their duty, yet seem to be awaiting
some voics from heaveasto guide them in
stead of listening to and obeying that
within themselves Present evils were al
luded to in language that permitted Of
no mistake as to what was
meant, and a high tribute paid 20 Mayor
McDonough as an honest and plucky en-
forcer of the law who should receive the
support OF every citizen who looked upon
Savannah as his homo in the true meaning
