KNOCKED DOWN AT $4,000.

| 4 Doubt Whether the Government
VIII Accept That Figure for the Old
| Postof1ce site.
The sale OF the abandoned public building
site at Abercorn and York streets took
place yesterday at l o'clock. George A.
Hudson made the highest bid, $4,000, and
the s. to was knocked down TO him, subject
to the acceptance Of the bid by tne govern
nent the right of rejection being reserved
| by the treasury department.
/ Although the sale had been extensively
advertised, only about twenty-five people,
the majority merely attracted by curiosity,
were present
Auctioneer !. D. LaRoche first read the
conditions. of the sale. after which be
! stated for the information Of purchasers
that the foundation work in place was in-
cluded, but not tho loose material. He
called several times for bids before getting
any response. Finally Mr. George W.
Parish offered s. 900 as starter. Mr..
Lawrence Damn. ST., raised it to $1,000,
and then MIR. Hudson tackled on 81 900,
making his bid SlO,O 900. The suctIoneer made
several calls at &c., 900, and it began to look
as If no other bid would be offered. He was
about to knock tbs site down a. that price
when Mr.. John Nioolson, Jr., arrived on
the scene and offered $1,000.
Nobody else interfered and the bidding
from that time to the conclusion was be-
tween these two gentlemen as follows: Hud-
son 1000, Nicoson Sl2 500, HUI isol
$4,000, NicoI5on SI3,5O0 Hudson $4,000,
Nicolson $l4, 800. Hudson $4,000, Nicolson
Sl5 100, Hudson SIS, 800, Nico!son $l5, SEQ
and Hudson $1,000.
Everybody congratulated Mr.. Hudson on
his bargain he at once made out
q certified check for s., 00l which be turned
over TO Collector 7. T. johnson to be for
warded to Secretary Carlisle with the bid.
If it is accepted tho balance OF Sl3 900 will
have to / 8 paid before the government will
give titles.
Mr. hudson, in reply to what he proposed
doing with the site in case his bid should be-
accepted, said: Il made the purchase
simply for speculative purposes as an iu~
yestme lt.n
There seems TO be an impression among
real estate men that the government will
reject Mr.. Hudson's bid on the ground
that 1t Is entirely too low in comparison
with the price paid by the government for
the site. The first lot cost 52O,OJO end the
addition Sl5 900 making a total $50, 900
The amount expended on the foundation
work was $4,000 which brings the govern.
ment's total outlay up to S54, 900. Ia view
OF these figures real estate men hardly
think it probable that Secretary Carlisle
will agree TO the loss of S3S, 900 but will re.
ject MIR, Hldson's bid and order another
sale 1t would indeed be q bargain at
$4,000.

THE FACTS IN THE CASE.
SECURITIES OF INDIVIDUALS NOT
LIABLE FO2 EXPENSES.

Receiver Conner Says the Staten Mt
That the securities Deposited With
the Trust Company are Liable for
Charges Is Falss-It is Contrary to
the AFreement-The Securities OF
the Company the Only Thing Liable.
No New Loans Negotiated by the
Central
The impression was created by q dispatch
sent out from Augusta, which appeared in
Yesterdays MORNING News, that the Sc
eurities deposited under the plan Of re-
organization of the Central railroad are
made liable for all expenses and charges in-
CURED in the promotion of the pisa, and
also that the Central had contracted adj
ditiouaI loans from Ho.lias q Co., and the
Mercantile Trust Company.
In speaking of these statements yesterday
Mr. Conner characterized them as absurd
and false from beginning 10 end. "Nere
I to attempt to answer all the malic Gus
fabricatious sent out by the enemies OF the
road, " he said, lit would consume most all
OF my time.
THE SECURITIES NOT LIABLE.
"The idea that the securities deposited
with the Mercantile Trust Company are
liable for any such expenses or charges is
roo absurd to be credited, when the agree
ment under which they are deposited makes
statements directly to the contrary. Olly
the securities owned by the company will be
liable for charges or expenses incurred
in the work, aud they only IN 80 far as ap-
proved by the courts. Such securities are
the property Of tho company and thuse held
and deposited by Individuals are in no way
10 be held liable as Is stated N the agree
meut
THE plan Of reorganization, as published,
contains full conditions of everything per-
tanning to it, Neither MIR. HolIins, nor the
committee, nor the trust company can use
such securities except as stated in the plan
of REORGANIZATION. IL is clearly stated
in that plan that if the reor-
ganization goes through and Is
successful, that the owners Of the Old Sc
curUies will receive new securities Gs
stated IN the appended table. 1.-THE reor-
ganiZation fails the old securities are to be
returned to their owners free Of charge"
TIE LOANS CONCENTRATED.
In speaking of the loans said to have been
negotiated with Hollius q Co. and the Mer-
camille Trust Company, Mr.. Conner said:
THE statement that large loans have
been contracted by the Central IS incorrect
ana false. A part Of the outstanding obi
cations Of the Central to the amount Of
5,l94, 253, including the Speyer loan and
others, have simply been taken up by Hoi-
Inns q Co. and the trust company
and made over to them and the securities
Of the company have been given as q secur~
ity for these obligations. With the excep-
tion of an additional $500, 900 used by the
Central in legitimate ana necessary expendi-
lures, no new loans whatever have been
contracted"

ANOTHER CHANGE IN RATES.

That is u hat is Needed For Securing
Western Grain shipments.
A number OF gentlemen concerned in the
furtberance of the direct trnd project met
Mai Shellman yesterday for the purpose
Of discussing the rate question in conneo-
ton with direct western grain shipments
through Savannah.
The committee which went to New Or
leans was present, and Maj. Shellmau was
informed OF all the knowledge gained there
in regard to grain shipments, AID what Sa-
vannah would have to do in order to get O
part Of the business.
1t seems that the export rate granted by
the Southern Railway Association has not
been made quite low enough to put Sayan-
nah on parity with New Orleans in the
matter cf making direct shipments of grain
from western points In other words the
rate must still be made slightly lower 10
order TO make the rate through Savannah
70 foreign points equal to that by way of
New Orleans. Mai rhellman assured the
committee of his full cooperation in toe
matter and there is little doubt but the as
ISOLATION will grant Savannah a rate which
will put her on an equal footing with other
ports

Augusta Knocks Out Savannah by a
score OF 9 TO 2.
savannah's base ball cranks were dis
appointed day before yesterday with the tie
game between the Savannah and Augusta
clubs, but yesterday the disappointment
gave way to supreme disgust when the
news reached here that the Augustans had
practically wiped up the earth with our
boys.
What il the matter with Manning and
his men" was the question asked on all
sides. He will probably be able to furnish
an answer to-day when the club returns
home to get ready for the opening Of the
league season in Savannah.
Ii is no wonder however, that the ques-
tion was asked after the magnificent work
put up "A few days ago by Savannah in the
games with Cleveland How the locals
played such poor ball in Augusta after hold-
ing down the big clubs of the National
League at home seems unexplalnable.
Manager Manning will have to talk to
his men and impress upon them that the
one thing they must do now to explain all
previous defeats ID TO knock out Atlanta
next week. Saysnnahians expect 1T and
demand it,
Here is the story of yesterdays game
from Augusta ~ special dispatch to the
MORNING News:
AUGUsTA, GA, April G, 1893.
The game to-day between Augusta and Sa-
vannan was one of the finest exhibitions of ball
playing ever seen ia Augusta. Both teams
were o. their mettle and anxious to secure the
rubber, and although defeated by Augustus
Sta,wark, the SavRnnahs can lay claim TO being
tlp-tOppers in every re ard.
The battery work OF Petty and Hurley was
excellent, the former showing much speed,
while the unerring throwing of the latter was a
subject of much applause. Cross also distin-
gulshed himself by an excellent running catch
OF fly ball, which but for his vigilance would
have certainly counted base hit. Manning
however, carried of the big hOuors for hitting,
base running and run getting he having secured
the only two TINT were credited to Savannah
The following is the score by innings:

The critic who could. with aught else

entertainment ct Masonic hall last night,
would, indeed, be a captiOus one. The large
audiences In attendance, consisting OF the
flower of the cIty'5 beauty aud youth, TO-
gether with a number of those more sedate
personages who are some lines referred to
as the 'old folks, though really they are
not old anticipated pleasant evening, and
their expectations were more than fulfilled.
"WoOdcock's Little Game" Is a charming
little comedy, ana it WAS interpreted In
delightful manner There is room in it for
amateur talent to assert itself. IL oilers lit
tie excuse for the 'stngine5s" that frequently
creeps into amateur theatricals, and it is
pleasure to state eTeI the Little % 'JrtI-
nifty for overacting was not availed OF.
Each character was played in @ free and
easy manner that called forth hearty, and
occasionally Doisy, commentator on the
part OF the audience.
Perhaps the most unique thing on the
stage was Mrs. Col. Carver's" makeup"
as the stage people call 1t. Those curls were
Il wonder to womankind and a caution to
maids. And the way she shook them, and
her Eight fantastic tOe'' at the same time
in anticipation Of pleasures TO come, caught
the audience; literally brought down the
house."
Where all was so uniformly good it
would be difficult TO particularize without
emitting worthy features. As to the ladies
and gentlemen in the cast, they could not
possibly have acquitted themselves with
greater credit. They bad, evidently. put
their hearts into their work for the love OF
sweet charity, whose cause they were aid
ing, as we'll as to consunmate the desire to
please their friends.
A notice of the entertainment would not
be complete without reference to the ladies
of the audience, whose bright faces and
witty chat between acts, aud before and
during part two OF the programme, which
was devoted to dancing, denoted their pleas
ure at being at liberty to enter once more
into the pleasures of life without violating
q church canon. And then the gowns they
wore! "Smart" is O curretn descriptive
word for gowns. But pretty and becoming,
as well as smart" might be added to a
description of the costumes that were worn
last night.
