neers TO be Settled Then.
The contract between the Central railroad
and its engineers, which expired at midnight
night before last, will practically remain In
force until after March Is, on which day
Chief Arthur Of the Brotherhood Of Loco>
motive Engineers, Judge Speer and Re-
ceiver Conner will meet In conference to
talk over the new contract
This understanding was arrived at yester-
day between Receiver Conner and Messrs
Waterhouse. Tarver, Bollineaux, Ficken,
Henry and Manning, the grievance COM
mittee of the Georgia brotherhood, which
came here to see the officers of the road
about the matter. While there is now
really no contract between the Central and
its engineers, the road will abide by the
terms of the old contract and the engineers
will do likewise until the conference de-
cides the question in dispute.
Judge Speer aud Chief Arthur will meet
probably in Macon with Receiver Conner
and Supt. Wadley and discuss the case Of
Engineer Arden in connection with the con-
tract The engineers here say there will be
little discussion on the Arden matter, as the
demands for his reinstatement will be made
politely but emphatically. and they believe
he will be reinstated. They also believe
they will get new contract. AT any rate
things will remain In statu quo until
March 16, and there will be no trouble be-
fore that time.

Inferior Goods.

The only safe way for purchasers is to in
sist on having the genuine article, and not
allow themselves to be swindled by having
plasters said to be Just as good" or CON
tanning superior ingredients, +" imposed upon
them. These are only tricks to sell inferior
goods that no more compare with NALL
COCKS Porous PLAsTERs than copper
does with gold. Ono trial of ALLCoCK's
Porous PLAsTERs will convince the most
sksptical of their merits.
The eminent Henry A. Mott Jr., Phi. d,
F. c. s., late government chemist. oerti-
hes:
My investigation Of ALLCoCK's PoR-
Gus PLAsTERs shows it to contain valu-
able and essential Ingredients not to be
found in any other plaster, and find it
superior to and more efficient than any
other plaster
Ask for ALLCoCK's and let no solicita-

NO NEWS ABOUT BLUBTT.
His Flight Gets a Business Man
Jail

Ills Flight Gets a Business Man in
Jsil.
No news was received here up TO last
night whether William Bluett, the embez-
cling agent of the National Cash Register
Company, had been arrested, but the off,
GERS feel satisfied that if be is not already a
prisoner he will be captured in day or
two, as he is well known.
Descriptions Of Bluett have been sent
70 the police of the principal cities 10 Geor-
gia, South Carolina, North Carolina and
Virginia and also to New York.
An unpleasant incident to a Savannah
business man in connection with Bluett's
flight occurred yesterday by the imprisou-
ment in Jail for several hours of Mr., Ed
ward Moyle, proprietor of the trunk factory,
unaer possessory warrant proceedings
brought by Garrerd, Meldrim g. Newman
for the recovery OF a register which Mr..
Moyle was supposed to have.
Bluett some time ago sold register to a
man named WoeltIen on time, and he in
turn disposed of it to Mr.. Moyle, Under
the law the register company had the right
to recover their property from w oeItjen, as
1t was not paid for, and when q de-
mand was made on him he said he had
sold it to Mr.. MOyle. Then Garrard, Mel
drim q Newman demanded the register
from Mr.. Moyle, but he did not give them
much satisfaction, and the result was that
he went to Jail.
Mr.. Moyle employed Charlton, Mackall
q Anderson and demanded a preliminary
examination, which was given him before
Justice Naughrin at 5 o'clock in the after
noon. Mr.. Moyle proved that be did net
have the register, having sold it back to
Bluett. Maj. Meldrim, counsel for the reg
lister company, then moved his discharge,
as he had sworn that the property was NOT
in his possession. Maj. Meldrim said if Mr..
Moyle had explained the matter at the
start he would have been put to no trouble.
but when asked for the register he told the
agent to get it the best way he knew how.
Mr.. Moyle may now sue The register CONS
pany for false imprisonment

The Interior OF q Residence Guttec
and the Shell Left Intact.

The Interior OF q Residence Quilted
and the Shell Left Intact.
An alarm of fire was turned in yesterday,
about noon, from box As. at Waldburg,
east of Price, by the firemen at engine house
No. 5, in that neighborhood. On arriving
at the scene OF the blaze the department
found the interior of the residence Of DR..
9roth ablaze.
The house, which is pa stories in hight,
and is located at Habersham aud Bolton
streets, Is peculiarly constructed one
inside. 1t has no plasteriDR, but is paneled
on the interior with Georgia pine, to which
is given O hard wood finish. Thus IL was
highly infiammable. and burned when once
started without any difficulty.
DR.. Groth was away in Bryan county at
the time, and Mrs. Groth was In the kitchen
doing some cooking. From some cause or
other the pan OF grease which che had on
the range boiled over, and soon burst into a
fame from the heat Of the stove and run
ming down on the pine floor soon had 10 In q
blaze. Mrs. Groth turned to see one side Of
the room almost entirely ablaze, and from
fright hurriedly left the house TO alarm the
neighbors.
An alarm was turned in from the box al
the engine house, but the fire was working
on excellent material and 1t was hard work
TO save anything. 1t leaped from room TO
room, up the stairs, burning out the win
dows aud almost the whole interior
of the house with the exception
of the parlor, which was saved by the
folding doors being closed. The furniture
and piano in the parlor were damaged con-
siderably, however, by water.
The whole interior OF the house was
burned out, leaving only the she'll Of the
framework standing The house is not
over six years old and its peculiar con-
struction is probably responsible for its
rapid destruction by the flames Otherwise
the greater part Of the structure might
have been saved by the prompt action OF the
department The loss, however, is par
TALLY covered by insurance.
