NOT A BREAK MADE.
The Central's New Train Keeps Up tn
Fast Schedule.

The Central's New Train Keeps Up the
Fast Schedule.
There was a crowd at the Central depot
yesterday morning to take the Royal Blue,
which for the first time was put on the
Nancy Hanks schedule, now famous as the
fastest trip to be made in Georgia, or, for
that matter, in this part of the south
Quite a number of travellers waited over
for several hours in order to take the new
and luxurious train, and when it left at a.
m. It was crowded almost to its capacity.
None Of the compound engines were avail
able for the trip between here and Macon,
as the one which was intended 30 take this
train up was held in Macon last night for
repairs, the eccentric strap having been
broken the night before. Notwithstanding
this drawback very little time was lost be-
tween here and Macon where the compound
engine was secured. The train went into
Macon only fourteen minutes off schedule
time, which was very nearly made up be-
tween there and Atlanta. The trip was
made without a break between here and
Atlanta and the train was put TO full test.
Last night the streak of entire blue,
engine as we'll as cars, came IN on schedule
time, with full coaches. The blue engine
Will carry the train up tomorrow morning

Il know the Bradys Of Detroit very WELL
however. Mr.. Thurber married daughter

BAD DIMES AND oUARTRRs.
They Are Trife Light, but Are Elk
cellent limitations.

They Are Trifie Light, but Are Elk
cellent limitations.
The New York papers have hung out
cautionary signals for the benefit Of those
who are careless or ignorant in distinguish
ing between genuine and counterfeit coin.
As some of the dimes and quarters referred
to are likely to reach this section, people
are warned to look out for them.
The oounteTfeit coins Of the 10 and 25-cent
denominations are excellent limitations and
are especially adapted to the winter season,
because their point Of weakness is their
light weight, and this Is difficult to notice
when the hand is gloved The size, color
and milling Of the spurious quarters is
nearly perfect. and they have not the slip
perry feeling that many 'counterfeits have.
The ring Is not quite true, but this test is
becoming obsolete, because so many genuine
coins which, through hard usage, have be-
come split" no longer sound the true ring.
The letters and figures are clear cut and the
only apparent defect besides the light weight
is the fact that the lettering is a trife
rounded, when it should be flat.
There are more bad dimes than quarters
afioat. Many of the 10-cent pieces are Of
the dates 1861 and 1879. The quarters are
mostly 1891. The dime is not so clever
counterfeit as the quarter, but 1t is good
enough to deceive any but most careful
observer. The molding is good and letter
ing clean. They are of the proper size and
almost up TO the standard IN weight. The
dimes have the smooth, slippery feeling
which usually accompanies spurious coins.

Fortunes are Told.
There Is q gypsy camp on the Louisville
road, four miles from the city, which is
doing thriving business in furnishing silly
people with alleged information about their
future for so cents a head. Crowds, not
always made up of young or unsophisticated
people either have been going out to the
camp on vehicles and on foot for the past
week TO ''Ret their fortunes told"
The gypsy who claims TO be able 20 read
, the futures Of human beings out Of deck
Of greasy cards is progressing young
woman Of the Romany tribe, who by the
adroitness OF her manner and her winning
and bewitchinR ways manages TO find out
In advance from her patrons about what
they want TO be told, and graciously deals It
out to them from the cards for the half dol
lar, in knowing way, which makes the
foolish creatures believe she is the smartest
woman on earth whose every word is gospel
truth.
Love-sick SWANS and susceptible girls,
disappointed old maids and anxious widows
have visited the camp in droves to have the
secrets Of the future revealed to them. The
boys, Ia most instances, want to find out il
certain girls love them, the girls want to
know IL they are sowing their affections on
barren soil or what kind Of a looking Great
ure their lord and master is to be- the old
maids want to find out why IL is they have
been left on the shelf TO wither and
whether there is not some man alive to
keep them from having the word
Miss" on their tombstones, and
the widows would like to know II there is a
chance for them to rope in another man
with their warmed .over love.
In every instance the coy gypsy maiden
sees at glance what her customers want by
their actions, aud she accommodates them
accordingly and adds 20 the treasury Of the
camp. A large party Of girls accompanied
by four old maids and two widows went to
the camp yesterday in a wagon and when
they returned all appeared happy. They
had found out their future" fellows The
gypsy kindly throws In the lottery winning

FIRE AT THE TYBEE DEPOT.
The Ticket and Telegraph Office in a
Blaze.

The Ticket and Telegraph Office in a
Blaze.
The ticket and telegraph Office of the SR-
vannah and Atlantic railway depot was
damaged by fire yesterday afternoon about
4:30 o'clock. The FIRE started under the
office building at the shed entrance, ran
along underneath in the dry grass and
came out on the southern end OF the struot-
ure, which was charred badly.
The Office was closed at the time and the
fire had quite a start before the colored
building discovered it He raised the CRY
and policeman sent in an alarm from box
No. 70, at South Broad and Randolph
streets. When the flremen reached the
scene the blaze was leaping high, famed by
brisk wind, threatening the entire depot
building aud number of small houses on
Randolph street.
The fremen, however, got their apparatus
TO work in quick time and with an engine
and chemical stream extinguished the fire
in half an hour.
The interior Of the office aud the books,
memoranda, ETC., Of the road are consid
erably damaged by water. The loss on the
building will not amount to more than SIS,
but the other damage will bring the figures
up In the hundreds The road is protected
by insurance.
1t Is thought that the fire was started in
a lot Of trash alongside the building by sew
eral children who were playing near It a
few minutes before the fire was discovered.
They probably threw a match into the pile
in spirit OF fun, not realizing the serious
consequences which might result,

all the capitals of Europe, even having the
audacity to 20 to St. Petersburg Here he
nearly came TO grief as the police thought
that he was dangerous anarchist. 1t was
only at the Intervention of the Austrian
consul that he escaped being sent to Siberia,
which would have served him right. 1t was

NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT IT

Railroad Officials Deny Any Knowl-
edge of the Plant-Duval Deal.

Florida Central and Peninsular railroad has
stirred up Jacksonville. The officials of the
South Bound in Savannah deny any knowl-
edge that deal is on foot, and the Savan>
nah. Florida and Western officials say they
know nothing about it.
The rumor in Jacksonville Is that Mr..
Plant has asked the Florida Central and
Peninsular to name price and that this
has been done, but the figure is way be-
yond what MIR. Plant expected and what
he has offered for the road before.
Nobody seems TO know whether there is

TO BACK TEE BROTHERHOOD.

The Central Conductors to Stand by
the Engineers IN the Arden Case.
There we're no new developments yester-
day in the threatened trouble between the
Central railroad and the engineers on ao-
count of the discharge of Engineer Arden,
except that the Order Of Railway Con-
ductors held a secret meeting, at which, it
is said there was a general understanding
that the conductors are TO stand by
the Central engineers in anything
which may grow out Of the discharge OF
Mr.. Arden for refusing TO haul Sam cars
during the late strike, because in doing so
MIR. Arden was aiding the conductors OF the
Sam road to win their fight with the road.
Chief Arthur who was expected yester-
day did not arrive, but will be here
this morning. He will have o conference
with Judge Speer and Receiver Conner
about the renewal of the contract with the
brotherhood, but will probably not touch
on the Arden case until after to-night's
meeting Of the local lodge of the brother
hood, which has been called to take action
in the matter. Arthur and a committee of
the brotherhood will then wait upon Judge
Speer and Receiver Conner and ask the
reinstatement of the discharged engineer

road matter shall not come unGsr his juris-
diction. A certified copyA OF his decision in
the case has been received by Judge Fish of
Americus ordering that the receivership
case Of the Sam be remanded to the state
court on the ground that the suit is not
properly removable under the local pre- ju-
dice clause Of the removal act, one of the
petitioners to the original bill for receiver
being nonresident OF the state. Americus
