ooNF1DANos1N REORGANIZATION.
The Impression Thatthe Southwestern

che Impression That the southwestern
"a Favorable Firmly Establishes It.
a gentleman from Macon who knows DR..
Baxter, president of the Southwestern road,
says he has been informed that the report
of the Southwestern committee is in thor-
ough harmony with the plan for the reor-
gauizstion OF the Central system.
All reports in regard 70 its contents have
thus far been favorable. and there seems TO
be no doubt bus that such is the cssa.
There is some question, however, whether
any arrangement can De made to postpone
the time for depositinR the securities until
after the south western stockholders
hold their meeting IN Macon, and in fact 1t
is thought that such action will hardly be
necessary as the publication of the reports
expected to settle all doubt In the minds OF
the stockholders in regard to depositing
their securities.
The reports which have already gone out
in regard to the report of this committee
being all of a favorable nature, have
awakened confidence, aud have determined
the action of many security holders in the
Southwestern and, in fact, all the other
Central properties. This is evidenced by
the fact that Vice President Crane Of
the Southern Bank has been kept busy
during the last week issuing receipts for de-
poslts of stock and securities which have
been flowing in of late at "a rapid rate.
The impression that the report Of that
committee is a favorable one has also made
firm the confidence of many IN the reorgan-
ization plan, as they were competent men,
and gave the matter full and careful in
vestigaglon. The report will be forthcom-
log in day or two.

/ John Bolden a colored porter at the
| Savannah Carriage and Wagon CompaDy's
establishment, at Broughton and Jefferson
streets was instantly killed yesterday morn
! ing by the fall of the elevator, and Joseph
| Goldberg, a messenger boy, was badly
hurt.
The accident was caused by the breaking
of the cable from its fastening In the ceiling
which let the elevator with its two pas
seEgers drop forty feet. Bolden and Gold
berg we're loading harness on the platform
Of the car to take to the first floor when the
cable parted and the elevator started on its
fearful slide. Bolden was STOPPING at the
time and the momentum was so great that
he could not recover himself to straighten
and when the car struck the cellar floor and
bounded backward with the shock his body
apparently folded and his head went
down between two boxes, striking the floor
and breaking his neck. Goldberg was
thrown out across the floor with broken
arm and several severe bruises. His escape
from death was miraculous. He was taken
to his home at 800 Margaret street, where
DR.. Norton attended him.
Coroner Dixon was summoned at once,
aud when he removed Bolden's body he
found that one OF the legs was also broken.
He allowed the decd man to be taken to bis
home il Liberty street lane and summoned
a jury Of inquest. The jury met at o'clock
in the afternoon and made a thorough ex-
mInation Of the elevator and shaft and the
manner in which the cable had teen fast
ened.
The jury found that it had only been
secured in the socket by means OF lot Of
nails driven around the wire into which soft
solder had been poured. An adjournment
was taken 60 Coroner Dixon's office, where
Mr.. William Kehoe and Mr.. Loeb Cohen,
who had examined the elevator, testified
before the jury as experts that the cause of
the accident was the careless manner Ia
which the cable had been secured
The jury returned q verdict that Bolden
came 10 his death from the fall of the ele-
vstor, on account of its imperfect construc-
ton. and placed the responsibility on tho
contractor, Mr.. John Sullivan.
The elevator Is a Bates safety. 1t was
only put in position last week, and the first
day it was used the cable ran off the wheels.
A similar elevator in A. 3. HulPs establish
ment broke twice. Eighteen months ago
the cable parted, and the car went to the
cellar with 1000 pounds Of lard. No one
was hurt then, but few months sfterward
the ratchet did not work and the car went
TO the bottom again, breaking a mans arm.
Another Bates safety in J. 81. Dixon & Co.'S
store. at No. l41 Bay street. fell from the
breaking Of the cable last month.
Bolden was 30 years old and was married.
