Mayor MCDonough Tired of the Sys-
tenn and Orders a Change.
Hereafter there will be no more caucuses
OF the board of aldermen on the regular
meeting nights of the council The recent
long sessions, which have run into the
morning hours on account Of the extended
preliminary caucuses in the mayors office,
have tired Mayor McDonough aud yester-
day he announced that caucuses must stop.
If the board desires to discuss matters
secretly before holding the long room meet
ings Mayor McDonough will cali meeting
OF the committee of the whole on Monday
nights preceding the nights for the regular
session aud lot everything be disposed OF
at these gatherings.
Promptly at s o'clock every other Wednes-
day night in the future Mayor McDonough
will throw open the doors of the long room
and callthe meeting to order. There will
be no waiting. and If there is not "a sufficient
number Of aldermen present in time to
make up a quorum, an adjournment will
probably result.
Capt. Wheaton, during his term as mayor,
adopted this rule and rigidly adhered TO it.
On one occasion there was q quorum lack
ing at o'clock and he at once ordered an
adjournment. The lesson was sufficient
and ever afterward while he was mayor the
aldermen were prompt
Mayor McDonough's move IL generally
regarded as a move in the right direction
and will be more satisfactory to everybody
than the arrangement now existing.

TWO OoLoRED MEN DRo wNRD.
Narrow Escape If Three Others of
Venus Point.

Narrow Escape If Three Others of
Venus Point.
Two negroes were drowned at Venus
Point yesterday morning. The name of one
was Willie Williams, the other WAS named
Henry. His full name is unknown, as he
had just begun work for Green & Gaynor,
contractors for the river Improvement.
Those who witnessed the drowning say it
was entirely due to an accident and the
treacherous tide.
The tug William c. Turner had light
barge in tow goiug toward lefty. A boat
containing Mr.. Nichols and three negroes
had gone alongside of the barge and taken
off a negro, which increased the boats
Grew to FIVE. They were on
their way from the barge when another
negro ran 10 the side and asked to be taken
on. They attempted to again get along
side, and we're compelled to cross the bow
Of the barge, which was moving slowly.
They went too close, and with a strong ebb
tide were carried swiftly under the rake
Of the barge, which overturned the boat
and preoipItated them into the water
Mr. Nichols was pulled in by line from
the tug and two of the negroes were also
rescued by another boat, but the other two
went down before the boat could reach
them, as neither OF them could swim.
Every effort was made by Capt. Sweeney
OF the Turner to save them, but without
avail.
Willie Williams was from Augusta, but
no one seems TO know anything about the
other man, except that he was known as
Henry along the docks That is all that
could be Rscertained about him as be had
not been long in the city and was only en-
ployed yesterday morning.

THE SOUTHWESTERN MEETING.

Mr.. Conner Says it Was Practically
Unanimous in Favor of the Report.
Receiver Conner returned yesterday after
noon from Macon. where he had been, to at
tend the meeting of the stockholders of the
Southwestern railroad, called to take action
on the report of the committee sent to New
York to investigate the reorganization
plan.
AS is we'll known the report which has
been published was entirely favorable to the
plan, and the action OF the stockholders was
looked upon msrely as formality. Mr.
Conner said last night, in speaking OF the
meeting:
lit was just as harmonious and one-sided
as a meeting could possibly be. 1t was
practically unanimous in favor OF the re-
port faYoripg the reorganization plan
There we're 80, 1885 votes in favor OF the re-
port against only 2,537 against it and had
i not been for the fact that most
of the day was taken up IN
arranging and qualifying the proxies which
put the vote off until a very late hour there
would have been at least A.. 0JO SHARES voted
in favor of entering the plan. AS it was,
representatives of 1000 to 5000 shares had
to leave the meeting in order to catch the
Ii O'Clock train and consequently were I'M
| able to vote them.
There Is no doubt, now that the matter
is settled, that the Southwestern securities
will come in at once. Over one-fitth OF the
stock of that rood has already been depos>
tied at the Southern Bank, and the South
western books will be down from Macon to-
morrow, so that those wishing TO have
securities of that road transferred TO the
| Mercantile Trust Company, can do so at
the Central Railroad Bank without any
trouble. Now that this matter has been
settled, there will no doubt be rush of
security deposits at the bank"
