To Aid the Reyoluiionis,s.

PANAMA, Jan. al,--It is rumored
that arms will be shipped on trading
schooner from New York to aid the
intended revolutionary movement in
Hayti and that they will be transferred
off the Central American coast to o
Haytiau vessel. 1t is also rumored
that Monsonto, q prominent Haytian
who served under Crespo, is going to
Jamaica to negotiate a sale of arms
with Legitime. The enemies OF Presi-
Hippolyte claim that they are not dis
heartencd by his recent successes and
they declare that his victory has not
crushed their hopes of the eventual
triumph Of the revolutionists, if they
receive timely succor from the outside.

RELIABLE ENGINEERs.-A move
ment is on foot in this city to establish
system of licensing steam engineers
in the State. Mr. b. K. Foley, we'll
known engineer of this city, undertook
some years ago, with the assistance of
some of the citizens, to get the matter
duly presented to the Legislature, and
he is satisfied that if the matter had
been presented it would have become n
law. In many other States where such
law governs the licensing of those who
care for and manage the steam boilers
and their appliances, an accident to
persons or property resulting from the
explosion or rupture of the steam
boiler is seldom heard of. Mr.. Foley,
at an early day, says he will call a
meeting of the citizens interested for
the purpose of drafting 4 suitable bill.

ANOTHER RAILROAD KICKING.

The Betonton Branch Road Will Con-
slider Reorganization Before Enter
ing.
On account of the fact that the annual
rental money due by the Central for the
Easonton branch road, from EGtontou to
Milledgeville, was not paid when due on
April /, meeting of the stockholders OF
that road has been called for April 20 to de-
termine what shall be the future policy Of
that road, and TO decide as to whether it is
advisable for them to enter the reorganiza-
ton plan.
The road originally cost about $3.50, 600,
Of which Sl67,O00 in stock was subscribed
and paid In, the remaining amount being
raised by the issuance of bonds, which were
paid of before the stockholders received
any dividends. For many years after the
road was ronted to the Central, the stock
holders received an annual sum amounting
to per cent on the Investment The stock
is hold mainly in Savannah, Putnam and
the north. l.. j. Guilmartin and his daugh-
ter, of Quebec, own $50, 600 or $4,000;
there are a dozen or more stockholders in
Eatonton and Putnam whose aggregate hold
ings amount to between SIS, 900 and $25, 00O,
Among them are Judge Lawson. DR..
Thomas, Mrs. Louisa Reid, the Harvey
estate, Mrs. J. D. Weaver, Mrs. B. r. Beck
uLAA luS W Jilu GsI6lts
First, it must be decided whether the
branch road shall go into the reorganization
PLAZA Of the Central by which the Central
and all Of the collateral or leased lines ex-
cept the Georgia shall become one piece Of
property, the stockholders giving up their
stock and receiving therefor 100 per cent. in
4 per cent bonds. so FER cent. in preferred
stock aad 80 per cent. in common stock.
The bonds, however, are not guaranteed.
and the common and preferred stock may
or may not be valuable.
II the stockholders refuse to enter the re-
organization plan they will either have TO
sell their road or operate it themselves, and
what It can do for itself apart from the
Central system is question to be decided
Mr.. Conner said last night that the Cen
tral defaulted in the re1tal due the branch
road for the simple reason that it did not
have the money with which to pay il. Just
what could be done by the stockholders he
did not know as he was not IA
miliar with the terms Of the lease. buH he
was of the opinion that they had been lib
orally treated Under the terms OF the reor-
ganization, and that the best thing for the
Eatonton branch TO do was to remain with
the Central system.

sAvANNAR's NEW CURIOSITY.

A Young Man Hitches a Horse to a
Post and FcrGets All About Him.
Savannah can boast of having the most
absent minded man in the country. He is
young man, too. Saturday afternoon the
party in question borrowed Capt. Dixon's
buggy to go to the postofice to mail several
important letters. He drove to the govern
menJ building, tied the horse, went inside,
transacted his business and then deliberately
walked away, leaving the horse aud buggy
at the hItehing post. About an hour after
ward Capt. Dixon wanted his horse and
buggy and he walked around to the young
mans place Of business, which is in close
proximity TO the captains undertaking
parlorS.
~ would like to borrow back my horse
and buggy ii you have no objections" said
Capt. Dixon.
The young man looked up with startled
expression and remarked: What -
II am. / left that horse and buggy
hitched at the postofice." Then he bolted
out to escape the ridicule he knew would
follow, and ran the entire distance to the
postodice, where he found the horse patiently
waiting % be unhitched.
He begged Capt. Dixon to say nothing
about the matter but the story was too good
TO keep and when it got out among the
young mans friends yesterday he was
Ruyed numerically.

THEY WILL NOT ARB1rRArE.
Pastor Loves Adherents Deny COT
fey's Staten enrs.

Three members of the First African Bap-
tist church, L. Wade, R. U. Rutleige and
L. J. Pestigrew, denied emphaticaIly yes
terdsy the statement that they had decided
to leave their internal dissension 20 a board
of arbitrators.
J. II Coffey is the man who announced
that all parties had agreed 20 Rrbitrate but
the members mentioned above state that
Cofey is not a member Of the chuTch as he
was expelled some time ago, and that under
no circumstances would they arbi-
trate the matter with those
who were not members Of the church. If
members Of the church in good standing
had made any such proposition, they say
tney would consider it. and consent TO set
tie the matter on fair basis 70 all parties
interested.
1t looks very much, however, as IL a large
number Of the anti-Love contingent had
been expelled by the majority, as the mem
bers on the pastors side claim that those
who are raising most OF the disturbance
and making the strongest kick against Pas
tor Love are not mombers of the oJngrega-
ton, having been expelled from various
causes. L. j. Pettigrew said yesterday in
regard to the statement that they had
agreed 10 arbitrate the matter:
The reports OF our church affairs in the
papers are greatly cOloTed and do US great
injustice. They rather tend TO encourage
the few mon who have been expelled from
our church, and cause the public to expect
bloody riot at any time. There has not
been blow in our church, and on tho part
of the church there is the utmost
regard for peace and order. The
church is in perfect peace
and harmony and there is not a dissenter
among u.s.
The men expelled form no part Of our
church and we beg to assure you that 10
trouble will be raised on the part of the
church, The riot, il it comes, must come
from those who are not members Of onr
church and we beg not TO be considered as
being in anywise parties to raising a dis
turbance. We know nothing Of the matter
OF the arbitration

THE ENGINEERS CONTRACT.

They Decline to Talk About the Re.
moval Of the Boycott.
The locomotive engineers here feel quite
elated over Judge Speer's decision in favor
of giving them a contract with the Ceatral
railroad, but few of them will discuss the
removal of the boycott clause, which the
judge demands. One of the engineers, in
answer Co query on this subject, said
alt is not matter for us to discuss. II is
something entirely in the province Of the
chief officials OF the brotherhood, and Chief
Arthur and his assistant, Mr. Youngson,
will probably confer with Judge Speer
on the subject. II they decide
it advisable to make a contract under tho
conditions demanded by Judge Speer the
contract will bs Inade, and il they do not
the future will bring about it's own events.
II Mr. Youngson made any promises to
Judge Speer abouS the boycott clause he
will stand by it.n
But do you think contract will be
made" the engineer was asNed.
d don't know he replied. Later l
may be able to give direct reply"
The impression is in Macon that SuDt.
Wadley may resign on account OF Judge
Speers decision. No credence is givea tue
matter here. Mr.. WGdloy is in Augusta,
and could not DO seen yesterday in refer
ence TO the matter.
