TO MAKE A REPORT SOON.
IT WILL SHOW TIE EXACT CON-
DITION OF THE CENTRAL.

IL Nav be Issued simultaneously
With the Plan of Reorganization.
Mr.. Conner Answers Some Anony-
nous Articles and Refutes the State
ments Made by Their Writers-No
Likelihood of the System Going to
Pieces.
Receiver Conner of the Central railroad
was asked yesterday about another article
IN the Augusta Chronicle in the shape OF an
interview with stockholder. in which 1t is
sought to create the impression that the
Central is likely to be sold at receivers
sale TO pay its debts, and the stock and de-
benture holders left in the cold entirely.
The person interviewed also opposed re-
organization OF the system, because any
plan Of reorganization that might be pro-
posed would leave out of consideration the
stock and debenture holders. He suggested
that the stockholders of the Central sub
scribe TO loan of $4,000,000 or S5,000,000,
taking certificates in return, 20 pay of the
debts of the road. As was expected Mr..
Conner did not care to talk on the subject,
as be said be was tired of noticing anony-
NOUS newspaper publications.
THE REPORT NEARLY READY.
Mr.. Conner announced one fact of interest
In connection with this matter, though.
Some time next month he will issue for the
benefit Of all interested and the public gen.
orally statement of the condition OF the
Central railroad properties, which will
state the condition of the system fully and
fairly, and so plainly that every one will be
able to comprehend, and form his
own opinions on the subject. The plan Of
reorganization will appear about the same
time with the statement, Mr.. Conner said.
Perhaps the two may appear together. This
statement will not discuss the plan OF reor-
Ranization.
1t being insisted that che various articles
which are being published, specializing as
TO the character aud results Of the plan OF
reorganization, might cause a feeling OF
uneasiness among the stock and security
holders. Mr.. Conner declared. what
he has time and again reit-
Grated, that it was his pur-
pose to protect the interests Of every
property holder of the Central, whether
stock, bond, security or otherwise. He
said positively that the stock and debenture
holders would not be left out in the plan
Of reorganization, and be did not think
there was any likelihood Of the road being
cold at receivers sale.
MONEY is NOT so ABUNDANT
AZ for the plan Of paying of the debts Of
the road by fund subscribed by the stock
and security holders, Mr.. Conner said this
was not a likely scheme while the mas
jority of the stock is held by a bankrupt
corporation in New York which has al
ready defaulted upon its interest He does
not think the Central railroad stockholders
in this section of the country have got as
900, 900 to lend the road
Mr.. Conner prefers not to enter into any
discussion of the future Of the Central I'M
I'll the plan of reorganization is made pub
lie, which, as stated, will be some time
next month.

IrIs THE RULE IN ENGLAND.
What the Engineering News Says o
the S-hour Law.


the S-hour Law.
In its current issue the New York En-
cheering Netos, the leading journal Of its
class In this country, which makes
speciality OF keeping in touch with the
progress of all public works Of improve
ment and all legislation bearing adversely
or favorably upon them, publishes the full
text Of the 8-hour law recently passed by
congress, and makes the following editorial
comment thereon:
IAN s-hour law Of far-reaching impor-
lance is about to go into force, having been
passed by congress in its expiring hours,
which has hardly attracted the attention it
deserves, outside of the small circle of gov
eminent contractors, where it has attracted
attention enough. 1t prohibits absolutely
more'than eight hours work in any one day
on any government work, contract or other,
except III case Of extraordinary emergency
OF which the government is to be the judge.
AS much government work is done by con-
tractors who have much private work going
on at the same time, and as nearly all govern
ment work is done in the immediate vicinity
of similar private work, the influence Of
this stringent law everywhere will be very
strong.
THAT such a change will add greatly to
the cost OF government work, and Of private
Work also, II IL comes under the same rule,
goes without saying; but it is a notable fact
that in England. where the workingman is
supposed to have so much harder time than
here, and not without reason, the S-hour
movement mas gone farther and faster than
here, aud is practically this rule in all engi
neering trades"
The MORNING NEWS was probably the
first paper In the country TO call attention
TO the fact that the bill would increase the
estimated cost Of all works OF public inn
proVement, Savannah harbor work
especially. and It's opinion 10 being Endorsed
by many news as well as technical papers

Its Contract With the City.

The NJ, D, s. s. Ready TO Comply With
Its Contract With the City.
The Macon, Dublin and Savannah rail-
road is preparing TO begin work at this end
of the line.
Mr.. D. B. Dunn, engineer of the road, is
in the city and is stopping at the PuIask i.
Mr.. Dunn will begin the work of running
the lines and making surveys for the graz
ing on the oompauy's site, granted it by the
city at Gwinnett and West Boundary streets,
this week, and will put gang Of men to
work upon the grading by next
week at least. The force put upon
the work will not be very large, however.
By the ctty's grant to the railroad COM
pany the company is compelled to begin
work by Sept. l. The rights OF way
through the county toward Dublin have not
yet been secured, and 1t may be some time
before active work upon the line OF the
road is begun.
Mr.. Dunn said that the Macon, Dublin
and Savannah is now preparing to build
bridge over the Ocmulgee river near Ma
con. He says there lie no doubt but that work
on the line OF road between Savannah and
Dublin will be begun this fall. On account
Of the tightness existing in the money mar
ket for the past several months. the f1nan-
cial operations of the company building the
road have been somewha: retarded. An
other cause of the delay was the expectation
that it would be able to buy up the Macon
aud Atlantic railroad, which has been in
poor condition financially for some time,
but the prospects Of contamination of this
plan appear to be no nearer now than they
were several months ago. Engineer Dunn
is confident the Macon, Dublin and Savsn-
nah will be built and in operation within
the next year.

New Firm of Factors.

The advantages enjoyed by Savannah as
point for the transshipment OF cotton and

The celebrated suit Of Charles Will
oughby against the Chicago Junction Rail-
way and Union Stock Yards Company, the
Union Stock Yards and Transit Company of
Chicago, Armour & Co., Swift & Co., Nor
ris & Co, and other concern dealing in
dressed beef, which was before Vice Chan
cellors Van Fleet and Green, in Newark,
N. j.. on March 2, has been practically de-
cided in favor Of defendants. The vice chan
cellors prepared en- opinion which will soon
be placed on file, and which sets forth
that agreements entered into by the de-
PENDANTS are valid and not in violation of
the interstate law. IN Mr.. WilloughbY's
suit he sought to obtain an injunction to
prevent the Chicago Junction Railway
and Stock Yards Company from ex-
changing a block of stock, valued at
S3,0OO,000, with Armour & Co., Swift g.
Co.. Morris & Co., and other beef pack-
ers in Chicago, for tract of land in Chicago
intended for stock yard and for another
tract OF land in Lake county. Indiana. Will
loughby claimed that Armour and his asso-
ciates never meant to create a rival business
or withdraw their business from the Union
stock yards. but had frightened the direct
ors OF the New Jersey company and of the
Chicago Junction Railway and Union Stock
Yards Company into making an improve
nent bargain, and that that bargain was
illegal ana injurious to the company be-
cause it gave Armour and his associates a
preference over other packers. Vice Cham
cellors Van Fleet and Green have, however,
in their opinion, decreed against Willoughby
and in favor of the defendants. The decision
Is one of the most important handed down
from the court of chancery for a long time,
as the suit involves great concerns and many
of the greatest men in the country. The
most eminent legal talent was engaged on
both sides.

RAIL AND CROSsrIR.

A bill Of foreclosure has been filed in the
New York supreme court by the MetropoH-
tan Trust Company against the Southern
Central Railroad Company, the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company, the Pennsylva-
MIA and New York Canal and Railroad
Company and the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railroad Company. The last three are
made defendants on the ground of having
interests in the property of the Southern
Central Railroad Company, acquired sub
sequently to the execution of the mortgage.
The amount Of the mortgage is IS, 400 900.
The company defaulted In 1888 and issued
new bond for the back interest. In lSS6a
lease OF the property was made to the Lee
high Valley Railroad Company. No inter-
est has been paid on the consolidated bonds
now under foreclosure since the making of
the lease. By the reason of the consolida-
ton Of coal interests, the Southern Central
has fallen into the hands of the Philadelphia
and Reading. The bill Of foreclosure STAYS
the ordinary foreclosure of the property in
the interest of the bondholders.
A prominent republican lawyer, who is
intimately associated with Gen. Malone and
who claims to know what he is talking
about, has confirmed the report that an
effort may be made to have him appointed
the permanent receiver of the Richmond
aud Danville railroad. This move is. he
says, contemplated by certain 5tockhOlders
and bondholders of the road. Their pur-
pose in asking for Mahone's appointment,
this lawyer declares, is based upon purely
business reasons. Those interesting them
selves in the matter consider that Mahone's
experience as a railroad manager will
be advantageous in the conduct of
this important southern system 1t
was suggested that Judge Bond of
the United States circuit court, before
whom the motion would be made, Is I'M
friendly to Malone. The gentleman con-
ceded this, but said that in the event the
step is taken those interested could, If they
see fit, ask Chief Justice Fuller to sit with
that judge when the motion is heard. Not
only that, but the parties might ask that
Malone would be added to the two tempo
rary receivers now in charge of the road.
1t was said that if Gen. Malone should be
appointed to this position he would resign
his craftsmanship of the republican state
committee and sunder all political connec-
tioas. Indeed, the same authority stated
that it was not unlikely that Malone may
give up the Craftsmanship anyhow. He is
quite certain not to make any fight in Vir-
Rinia this year. The contest in Virginia,
he believed, would be left chiefly to the
Peoples party.

DEMAND FOR SCRIPT.

There is felt among all classes Of bust
ness men strong need of some trans
ferabe species of currency. Silver is
good in its place, but it is not mailable
except at extraordinary risks. Routine
business among people in distant places
calls for some medium of exchange that
can be slipped into an envelope and sent
on its way without advertising its pres
ence to the fingers of meddlesOme clerks.
Many people still recall with sigh the
days of the handy shinplastcr, which
could be transmitted to any point with
safety. Its withdrawal from circulation
was not in response to any popular de-
mand, and it lcftnothing that could take
its place. Stamps have been used, but
they do not fill the bill Many business
men are so afflicted with the stamp
nuisance, notwithstanding their adver-
tised aversion to that medium, that they
suffer serious loss in business by being
obliged to sell at discount the surplus
they cannot use in their business or eX-
change with their more fortunate breth-
rem.
In issuing postal notes the government
made an attempt to meet the long-fclt
want. The result has not been a diStin-
guished success. In the first place thay
are not convenient. Merchants cannot
take the time to send out for one when
wanted. Then too the tax of three cents
on each is burdensOme where much of
business is done by their means. They
are but slight improvement in price
and convenience on money orders and
registered letters. Besides, there are
many country postofficeS where even
that means of exchange is not available.
Added to this are the objections that
there is no certainty that it will reach
the right person. that it is good for only
three months and bothersOme to get
cashed.
For many years the need of better
fractional medium has taken the form
of an agitation that has even reached the
ears of congressman. These have never
denied the need. but differ on the most
cXpcdient means of meeting the situa-
ton. Probably it will require consider
able dinging to get it into their heads
that the need is urgent enough to call
for legislative action. The nut will not
prove so difficult to crack when once it
is tackled in earnest. More difficult ones
have been met in the past. All that is
needed is earnest and insistent demand
on the part of the public that their rep
resentatives take hold of the matter and
there will be no further trouble about
the lack of fractional Sunday
