a PROTEST FILED.

The Central Railroad Further Opposes
TIE &. and w. E. Railway.
protest has been fled with the clerk Of
the county commissioners by the attorneys
for the Central railroad opposing the cross
ing of its tracks at the junction of the
Louisville and Augusta roads by the track
of the Suburban and West End railway.
There is now pending an injunction be-
fore Judge Speer against the crossing Of the
Centrals tracks at this point, and the Su-
burbau and West End may have to appear
before his court before long to show cause
why permanent Injunction should not be
granted.
The protest before The commissioners OBJ
lects to the condemnation Of the Central's
property for the purpose stated, and alleges
that the construction of this railway as pro-
posed would materially damage the Central's
property. 1t further alleges that the right
Of constructing this railway was never
granted by the county commissioners, as a
protest was pending at the sme the com-
pany signed the agreement, And they were
ordered to appear before the commissioners
TO show cause why they should be granted
the right. The pending injunction
is based on these grounds, as well
as upon the proposition made by the Cen
trail railroad that there is a way to effect
crossing by going under the tracks of the
at less cost and with less injury to property
or danger to life.
Another point they are working on Is the
order of the county commissioners passed

THE TRIPARrITB BONDS.
The Rumor of Their Proposed Sale
Seems to Have Little Effect here.

The Rumor of Their Proposed Sale
seems to Have Little Effect here.
Inquiries in regard to the dispatch in
| yesterdays MORNING News to the effect
that an agreement had been made for the
purchase Of the tripartite bonds Of the Cen
trail railroad at par, and accrued interest
failed to develop that there was anything
/ in the statement which would materially
affect the present status Of tie Central's af-
| fairs.
1t was thought by some that this would
affect matters by doing away with the
| foreclosure proceedings 80 as to require
some change IN the reorganization scheme,
and would thereby materially decrease the
deposits of securities, but visit to the
Southern Bank entirely disproved this idea.
Securities came in yesterday as rapidly, IL
not more so, than they have been doing for
the last week. and several millions OF
of dollars in stocks and bonds have been de-
posted here up to date besides what have
been deposited in New York.
In speaking Of the report in regard to the
tripartite bonds. Col. George A. Mercer
attorney for the Farmers Trust Company.
the matter. and considered it only one
of the many rumors which have been sent
out from New York Of late in regard to the
| Centrals affairs. He said that the fore
! closure proceedings will continue so far as
he knows, and even If such an agreement
has been made he is of the opinion that it
will not affect the reorganization of the
property.
Mr.. Conner said he didn't see how it
| would make any difference, so far as the
| reorganization is concerned, who holds the
tripertite bonds. He Is of the opinion that
they will not be affected by changing
hands. He thought the report however,
was only rumor, aud stated that so far as
| he knew there was absolutely nothing in il.
Whatever there may be in the report ID
seems that those in charge of the Central's
| affairs here are giving little or no attention
| to the matter. Mr.. Conner said that in his
opinion there would be no other plan of or
| Rauization, and any talk that there was
likely to be was put out for the purpose of
embarrassing the rehabilitation of the
| Central. AS far as he knows no other plan
is contemplated than the one that has been
published.
A Macon dispatch says that capitalists
there who have stock in the Southwestern
railroad express themselves as perfectly
| willing to take new stock in the reorganized
| company for their Southwestern stock. and
| think that the meeting of the Southwestern
stockholders, to be held there April -, will
see it as they do, and go into the reorgan-
ization. Or. Baxter says that he thinks the
meeting will be harmonious aud of Short
duration.

FIRST AFRICAN BAPTIsrs.

The Fight is Still On, but Trouble May
Be Averted Until the Conference.
There may be some trouble at the First
African Baptist church to-day and there
may not be. but II there is anything In the
statement Of one of the members yesterday,
Lewis, who said If any of the minority
came there to-day somebody would leave
there dead, the row may break out afresh.
The minority is determined to carry out
its purpose, which is TO impeach their pastor
on several grave charges which have been
brought forth against him, and they say
that such would have been done last Sun-
day, which was conference Sunday,
If the conference had been held. They
say, when they entered the church Pastor
Love had taken his chair in the pulpit and
had begun the aegulsr services, with which
they could not interfere, as they would have
been charged with disturbing public wor-
ship.
They are determined in the matter, how
ever, and say they can substantiate the
charges they make. They:claim a force Of
500 in all, most Of whom they say will not
attend the church on account Of opposition
to the pastor. They plan of action, how
ever, as stated by one of them yesterday,
will be to canvass among the members OF
the congregation and obtain large repre-
sSubdbOH ny n60G conferences Sun
day, which will be the third Sunday
in April. There will hardly be any serious
trouble on hand before that date.
When the conference is called they say
they will demand that Pastor Love vaoate
the chair, and then they will prefer their
charges against him. What the outcome
will be remains to be seen.
Pastor Love was seen yesterday 10 re-
gard to the matter, and his story puts quite
n 1rrhk Nhn h1l,
de says the opposition to
him grew out of the fact
that one OF the deacons was expelled from
the church about year ago for dishonesty
and this man, he claims, has been arousing
all the undercurrent of opposition on the
part Of few members Of the church, which
has been brewing for some time.
Others, he says, oppose him because OF
his supposed discrimination in favor of one
woman at the tims the election of oru
ganist was beld. These matters he says
are the real causes of all the trouble and op-
position to him.
OF the charges, he says he will be able to
disprove every one of them, and he shows
documents which appear 10 be counter
testimony 20 that substantiating them. He
denies that there is word Of truth In them,
and says that they are mere pretexts. He
has testim onlals OF good character from
prominent citizens In Southwest Georgia,
and believes that nothing will ever come of
the trouble which has been brewing,
The First African Baptist church Is per-
haps the largest church In point of num-
bers in the United States, having consider
ably over 5000 communicates and for this
reason the result of this trouble and in
ternel dissension will be watched with in
terest. Pastor Love says he has baptized
1000 and more of the communicates since
he has been connected with the church, and
states that he can raise almost any amount
Of money needed whenever he calls for 1t.

A negro named Saxsen was hunting
around among the Offices of the justices of
the peace yesterday endeavoring to secure
some one to arrest a Chinaman named
Bung Hop, who, he says, defrauded him, OF
his shirt and some other Numbered articles.
He had no check, and consequently got no

The attention of the MORNING NEWS has
been called several times by Bay street
merchants and others, whose business re-
quires them to use the sidewalk on the north
side of the street. particularly between
Whitaker and jefferson streets, to its condi-
ton. 1t is in fact, hardly a sidewalk at
all, merely a rough pathway filed with
stones and other obstructions. The place
has been in this condition for twenty years
or more. The street would be improved If
a smooth shell road were laid on the north
side of the road way and the debris removed.
There is another spot that has been neg
lected-the roadway on jefferson street, be-
tween Congress and Bay streets The amount
OF traffic over this spot is as great as il is
anywhere in the city. Ii is generally full
of gullies and hard road TO travel.

and Engineer Nell knew nothing Of the
trouble ahead with the passenger train until
a torpedo exploded as he rounded the curve
Then he was close enough to see the rear
passenger coach, and with all the power he
could muster he put on brakes and reversed
his engine. 10 was down grade, however,
and the reversing did not seem TO have
much effect upon the movement of the train
The engineer, feeling that a collision was
only question Of a few seconds told his
fireman TO jump for his life, but made up
his mind TO stick TO his throttle till the last
moment. As the fireman jumped from the
cab Engineer Nell made one supreme
effort to stop his engine and fortunately
brought it to a standstill twenty feet away
from the platform Of the last car of the
passenger train. He almost tainted from
the effect Of the terrific strain he had under
gone in those few minutes. The fireman
sustained several severe bruises from his
jump. Both trains arrived little late En-
gineer Nell was feeling sick yesterday as a
result Of his experience.
