THEPORTROYAL' SCHARTER
The Central Will Not See The Prop
erty COnfiSCated Without a Fight.

The Repeal Bill Passed the Lower
lature and Is Only Awaiting Gov.
Tillman's Signature to Become a
Law-LittIe Doubt That he Will
Sign It-what the CentraPs Attor-
neys Say.
The news came yesterday that the bill
to repeal the charter of the Port Royal
and Augusta railroad had passed the
lower house Of the South Carolina Iegis-
lature, and now only needs Governor
Tillman's signature to become a law.
There seems to be no question about the
fact that he will sign the bill, for it has
long been pet scheme of his to take this
property away from the Central railroad.
Col Haskell's argument against the
bill was a mastery effort. He stated in
plains terms that it was prepared in the
Atlanta office of the purchaser of the
Port Royal property. He said he knew
this thing was done months ago in New
York and that the bill was drawn in At
lanta. Among other things. Col. Haskell
stated that he did not believe that the
court would permit the sale of the road
until this bill was repealed, as il is the
duty of the court to see that the property
brings full price, and no one wants
road without a charter.
In spite of Mr.. Haskell's convincing
argument, however, the House, which it
seems had determined on the passage of
the bill, carried it through by large
vote.
Mr.. A. r. Lawton, Jr., one of the Cen
trails attorneys, when asked about the
matter yesterday, seemed to have no
doubt whatever but that Governor Tillman
would sign the bill.
What is the next step that will be
taken?' he was asked.
"Of course" Mr.. Lawton replied, I'VE
could not outline what our policy will be,
but you may rest assured that the Cen
trial railroad is not going to sit quietly by
and see its property contiscated.
One of the arguments OF
the designers of the law was that
it would put an end to the litigation over
the property, but there is no truer saying
than that of one of the members of the
legislature, who was opposed to the bill,
that in two years from now, the litigation
would have scarcely begun

AT THE THEATER.
The decentralization Com bination To-
morrow Night.

ulOTTON G4EnLs
One Of the musical events Of the season
Will be the engagement Of the Mexican
Italian combination at the theater to-
morrow night. The company is composed
Of Gonzales Mexican orchestra, Bian-
CULTS Italian-Gypsy orchestra. a mum Der
of vocal and instrumental soloists of dis
tinction and Manuelita, the famous Mex
lean dancer. Each member of the organi-
Zation played an engagem emit at the
worlds Columbian exposition. Each is an
/ has been delighting audiences every
where, as will be seen by the following
notice from the Augusta Evening News:
1T was scarcely to be expected that
the opera house would be filled to over
flowing last night, as the other attrac-
tions in the city were so many and potent
that nearly the entire city was out at the
Exposition grounds. Yet notwithstand-
ing this fact, the Mexican-Italian com BIZ
nation played to very fair house. and
gave most enjoyable and artistic enter
tainment. Every mem Der of the company
is an artist, and each part was rendered
in such fashion as to place the combina-
ton among the very finest attractions on
the road. The dancing by Manuelita,
diminutive senorita of about years, was
very clever, and the little maiden s poises
and gestures were grace personified. The
music was such as to inspire dancer,
however, and aided in no small way in
making her execution so easy and fasci-
mating. She was literally applauded and
responded gracefully to an encore.
Senior JOventino Rosas, the composer of
cover the Waves" rendered this popular
and delightful waltz on the violin, and
showed by his easy execution and SYM
pathetic touch thorough knowledge of
his instrument.
Pasqualino Bianculli, the young leader
OF the Italian Gypsy orchestra initiated
hooking bird on his violin, and was
loudly applauded.
Signor Ferrucio Gionniui, the Italian
tenor, possesses fine voice, and his
method shows careful training. The solo
from Cavalleria Rusticana was very ad-
mirably rendered, and Signor Gionnini
was recalled.
Altogether, the whole company is we'll
up TO the standard, and should be greeted
by large audience tonight.

SHOULD GET THEIR STOCK.
Railroad Meetings and Elections in
the Early Part of Next Year.

Railroad Meetings and Elections in
the Early Part of Next Year.
1t has been suggested by stockholders
of the Southwestern railroad, and they
are the ones who keep posted on the stu
alton, that those stockholders who have
their holdings on deposit with the Mer-
camille Trust Company, of New York,
should get their stock back through the
same channel through which it was de-
posted by returning the certificate of
that company which were given in eX-
change for them.
Either this or proxy Avom the Mer-
camille Trust Company win be necessary
before that stock can be voted at the
meeting next February, and that meeting
is to be perhaps the most important in
the history of the road for some time at
least 1t will probably be called upon to
consider the question as TO whether the
road shall be allowed to remain with the
Central.
President Baxter stated in his report, a
synopsis of which was given in yester-
days MORNING NEWS, that it was thought
best that the two roads should be oper-
ated together, but tho question of the
Southwestern's Endorsement on the bonds
of the Montgomery and Eufaula railroad
had to be considered, and unless the
A'NN'Aa " ,SStoAh "RS pAObClbOO any
reorganization plan which might be
formed on this Endorsement it was
limited that the Southwestern might
make provision for the Indebtedness and
unite with that road into separate sys-
TEN. The situation, so far as the South
western railroad is concerned, is a very
important one, and it is urged that every
share possible of the roads stock should
be represented at the meeting.
Then the election of Central railroad
directors comes the first Monday in Jan
uary. OF course, if the Richmond Termi-
nal is in position to vote It's block of
stock there will be little use or necessity
in any other votes being cast But every
body will want TO be in position to vote
their stock when the time comes, for it is
not now known just what the situation
| will be.
The Central stock, which has been de-
| posted with the Mercantile Trust Com.
pany, will have to be obtained in the same
way, and to vote stakeholder must have
his holdings in his own name or must
have the proxy of that company.

The officer stated that while on duty on

afternoon, he heard loud noises in the
neighborhood. On investigation he found
they proceeded from the house of
Mrs Anna E1hey. Much to his

The above is the substance Of the story

when asked for an account Of her mis-

was false, that he had thrown her down

the sentence aud let her go with a little

currence, as he is guyed right and left by
his fellow members on the force. But as
he bears reputation as one of the most
efficient and best natured men in the
ranks of the finest, he will not allow him

HIS WORK JUST BEGUN.
What the Tax Collector Has to Do AZ
ter Making All Collections.


When the Office of the tax collector
closed yesterday at 3 o'clock there was a
large number Of people still in waiting in
the hall to settle accounts with the state.
They were admitted, and the doors closed
for the season.
All day there was string Of people in
the Office extending from the collector s
window clear out into the hall, ami those
who did not want to wait for receipts
came in hurriedly and tossed an envelope
over the railing and escaped.
So far as this part of the work is con-
ceIned the tax collectors busy day has
just arrived. He has hundreds Of en-
velopes containing checks and money
which were either sent through the mail
or tossed over the railing, all Of which
have to be checked up and receipts sent
out. He said yesterday that he knew no
more about how the cash stood than an
outsider. He asks those who have handed
in envelopes TO bear with him few days
and he will see that all get their receipts.
The next active work to be taken up is
the collection from those engaged in sell
ing liquors, keeping pool rooms, selling
firearms, and many other businesses of a
similar nature, Of the SPECIFIC tax Tor the
year 1894. This tax is due and payable in
advance and the collection of them will
begin next January. The tax is also pay
able next year by any party commencing
any Of these lines of business during the
year.
Some of the specific taxes for 1898 have
not yet been paid. Several parties have
taken out city licenses, but have failed to
pay the state tax. They claim that they
have not been in business, but they will
now have to show the grand jury why
they have not been in business and why
they have not paid the state tax.

cENTRAL's REORGANIZATION.
It is Being Talked of But Has Taken
no Definite Shape,

IL IL belng Talked or But Has Taken
no Definite Shape.
There has been talk in some quarters of
late with regard to the formation of some
plan Of reorganization for the Central
system, but the information comes direct
that it has as yet taken no definite shape
whatever, AS yet it is merely talk
The question, of course, is being dis
cussed by financiers, who may have an
interest in the matter, and by security
holders, who already have an interest in it.
Several people, who are interested in the
property, and who have been on lately to
New York, say that while reorganization
is being talked of, it is, as yet, merely a
matter OF gossip.
Efforts are being made to get certain
parties interested in the property, and all
interests are erdeavoring to get the mat
ter tremendously settled. When a plan
is formed it is safe to say that it will be
one upon which all interests can unite
tremendously.
There has been rumor for the past
day or two, coming from Augusta, that
DreXel, Morgan 81 Co., have an order
with Savannah brokers for 10000 shares
Of Central stock. So far as can be learned,
and the information is pretty conclusive,
there is nothing in the story, and no Sa-

Miss Martin Gets a Verdict for the
Loss of Her Money and Jewelry.
The city court has decided that the
Pullman Sleeping Car Company is liable
under the Georgia laws for the loss of
property of passengers where proper dill
igence is not exercised by its employees.
In the case of Miss Elise Martin VS. the
Pullman Company, the Jury yesterday
rendered a verdict for $685. damages in
favor of the plaintiff. Miss Martin, it
will be remembered, lost her sachel, con
tanning some money and lot of jewelry,
while travelling in one of the companys
sleeping cars, on the East Tennessee road,
between Savannah and Macon, about IS
months ago. She introduced testimony to
show that her sachel was either lost or
stolen from the car, and that proper dill
gence was not used by the company to
prevent such theft. The company was
represented by ex-senator Barrow, and
the plaintiff by Judge Harden. The case
will probably be appealed to the supreme
court.

Recorder Wilson had difficult knot to
unite in the police court yesterday morn
ing, but as Alexander cut the Gordian, so
his honor cut the knot, after becom-
ing tired of his endeavors to I'M
ravel it,
The case was that of William Jones,
charged with shooting William Brown in
the leg, an account Of which was given in
yesterdays MORNING News. The story
is something of a farce comedy in three
acts, with bit of tragedy thrown in.
The first act opened at the foot ball
match at Wheelmen's park last Sunday.
Crowned with victory, covered with dust
and glory, the victorious Black Hawks
repaired to their individual domicile. In
act second William Jones, patron
of the game, determined to give an elabo-
rate reception to the exultant ebony
knights of the gridiron.
Arrangements were made, and Monday
evening saw all of the dusky heroes as
sembled at Jones' house. When the feast
was at its hight, the door was unceremo-
niously burst open, so Willie Jones saws,
and in stalked Willie Brown.
With majestic mien and scornful
glance, he rapidly grasped all the sand
wiches within reach and made his exit

crowd, rapid rush was made after him /:

Jones fell with ball in the'caR of his leg,

The third act opened in the recorders
court. Jones made statement as above.
Brown said it was an utter falsehood.
The recorder was perplexed, but cut the
knot by sending William Jones over to
the city court for carrying concealed
weapons, from whence he will go to the
superior court on charge of assault with
intent TO murder. DIR. Norton extracted
the ball from Jones' leg.
