This Afternoons Sale Of Lots.

AT 4 O'Clock this afternoon, Mr.. Dor
sett proposes 10 sell lots in what he calls
the New Industrial Additions; - so
termed because it is surrounded by mills.
factories, railroad depots, oil works, saw
mills, street railway headquarters. etc
He claims in addition to these advnn-
tages, lrst-class street car facilities
having the benefit of two rival lines of
electric cars.
Contracts have been made for sewers
and water mains. These will be cuaran-
teed to the purchasers of lots. The terms
have been placed so low that every one
can meet them, and person who Goes
not own a lot in Savannah ought not to be
long without one.
Every young man ought to mcke Il n
point to become the owner OF q lot. II
has proven TO many men the beginning of
the accumulation OF fortune. II ia an
incentive 70 save to take on such an obIi-
cation, and leads to habits of saving and
the desire to accumulate, which in nearly
every case becomes the foundation of n
fortune
1t is bold thing to attempt a sale At
this time. 1t is better time TO buy Than
to sell, aud the lots sold to-day ought In
be worth great deal more in a wear or
two, when financial and tariff legislation
IS settled, when greater activity will
follow than the south has ever expe-
rienced.-ad.

PARSONS NEW PURCHASE.
In Control Of the South Carolina
Railway Now.

The Road 70 Be Operated Indepe
of Other Companies-How Mr. Par
sons and His Brother Became In
terested In It-Mr. Hartman Takes
Trip over the Road.
Mr. J. n Hartman returned yesterday
morning after a couple Of days on an in
| spection trip of the South Carolina rail
way with the new directors of the road.
The South Carolina railway was re-
Gently purchased by Mr.. Charles Parsons,
of New York, in company with his broth
ers, George and Edwin Parsons. The
South Carolina is the oldest railroad in
the country, having been built in the
early thirties. 1t has been in the hands
of a receiver for several years and was
sold about month ago at a receivers
sale.
II was NOT known at first who the pur-
chasers were, and it was supposed for
sometime that the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad was the purchaser. The
latter company held 81 100000 of the sec
ond mortgage bonds, and having a half
interest in the lease of the Georgia rail
road, il was considered almost certain
that it would endeavor to secure the
South Carolina road, which would have
given it another seaport outlet. The
Louisville and Nashville is left in the
cold, however, with all the other junior
security holders.
THE PARSONS IN CONTROL.
The Parsons have for some time held
the majority of the first mortgage bonds.
Besides S., zoe, 600 first mortgage bonds
there were s., 5000 Of second mortgage
bonds and 100000 of income
bonds on the road. AS the road
was bid in for $1,000, 900 the Junior
first mortgage bondholders who were not
in the pool with the Parsons will get very
little for their holdings The road has
been reorganized under the name of the
South Carolina and Georgia railroad and
mortgage of S, 100000 per cent. bonds
issued.
The following board Of directors has
been elected: President, Charles Par
sons; Vice President, Charles Parsons
Jr.; George Parsons, William Lummis,
Edwin Parsons, Sd, Henry Parsons and
w. II. Platt, Jr., directors.
THE SOUTH CARoLNA's FUTURE.
"The company is entirely independent
of any other railroad company" said Mr.
Hartman yesterday, land will be oper-
ated Independently. II is a fine piece of
property and amply able to earn the
mortgage interest upon It's bonds. 1t is
not bonded for three times its value,
as are some street railway properties.
The country through which it runs is the
finest farming country / have seen in the
south, and there are besides a number Of
large cotton manufactures along the line
The road will be put in first-class condi-
tion and will be operated in the interest
of the people in the territory through
which it runs"

EVERETT GETS HIS MEN.
He Gives a Remarkable Exhibition of
AYpnotism.

N~-~~N-'
The fates which were against Everett,
the hypnotist, Tuesday night, smiled
sweetly on him last night and he gave one
of the best entertainments ever seen in
the theater He had eight subjects on
the stage, and with apparent ease got
complete control Of all Of
them. He first gave an exhibi-
ton of the supposed balloon ascension
Two Of the subjects got into the sup
posed balloon and four of thema watched
the ascension. When the men thought
they had gone up great distance, both
became so cold that they buttoned their
coats and gave every evidence Of being
nearly frozen. They then made the
descent, enjoying the scenery as
they came down. All of this was
watched by the men on the
stage with the greatest interest. One
would loose sight of the balloon and the
others point the supposed balloon out,
describing it as looking like little cloud,
speck, etc. The descent and landing were
also watched, when in reality the two
aeronauts had never been three feet
from them.
The subjects were made to hear imagi-
nary music. In one instance the air was
recognized as Home, Sweet Home " and
when it was over the listeners applauded
The musicians were to their minds sus-
pended by invisible means in the air, but
were in full view and good hearing dis
lance.
On one of the subjects Mr.. Everett inn
pressed the belief that he must remem-
Der the music after waking, and on walk
ing he did remember it.
One of the most remarkable things, was
putting one of the subjects into a cata-
leptic state. In this state he became
perfectly rigid and to all appearance,
perfectly dead. In this condition, it is
said, the subject may be buried and then
taken up and brought to life. and he will
awake in perfect health if he is in that
condition when put to sleep.
So complete was Mr.. Everett's control
that he would fasten the subjects to
chairs, and at one time he pinned three
to the floor 50 that they were unable to
move hand or foot. The entertainment
will be reneated to-mnrrnNy night

AN AGREEMENT PREPARED.
It viii Be Submitted to the Southern
Railroads in June.

Railroa ads in June.
Maj w. Z. Shellman has just returned
from New York city, where he has been in
attendance on the meeting of the South
ern Railway and Steamship Association,
which was called for the purpose of dis
cussing a new agreement between the
southern lines for the coming year.
The present agreement expires July l.
This meeting, Mai Shellman said, was a
conference meeting for the purpose of
proposing an agreement to be discussed at
the annual meeting which is to be held
June - in New York. The regular time
for the holding of the annual meeting is
the second Wednesday in June.
The matter of the agreement, Mai
Shellman said, was referred to a com
mittee Of which Mr. II. S. Haines, vice
president of the Plant system, was made
chairman. Mai. Shellman was a mem Der
OF the committee representing the receiv-
ers of the Central railroad The commit
tee was large one, representing all the
important roads in the association.
Mai. Shellman says there will be a num-
Der of points of difference in the new
! agreement as compared with the old
| Some changes have been made in the
| agreement as prepared by the committee,
with regard to the basis Of making rates,
and of prorating certain rates. The new
! agreement IN JnlS respect Is quite fad1-
! cal change, and there may be some
trouble in getting all the lines to agree
! to it. The new contract. as proposed by
/ the committee, is to be printed in
| pamphlet form and sent out to the OH
/ Gals OF the roads for their consideration
| before the June meeting is held Mai.
| Shellman says if the contract can be put
! in good shape, so as to satisfy all parties.
| he is confident that they will all remain
| in the association.
Several important southern lines were
not represented at the meeting. They
were the Mobile and Ohio, the Norfolk
and Western and the Merchants and
| Miners Transportation Company. It
will be remembered that these lines an
nounced their withdrawal from the asso.
citation some time ago. II satisfactory
agreement is reached, however, it is prob.
able that they win come in for their own
| protection.

IN A DANGEROUS POSITION.
Anxiety for the Disabled STEAMSHIP
Clandeboys.


Clandehoys.
No arrangements have, as vet, been
made to send tugs to the assistance Of the
British steamship Clandeboye, which is
anchored off Bahama island with a
broken shaft, an account of which was
published in yesterdays MORNING News.
}. +. Minis Co., agents for the steam
ship, have received estimates for sending
tugs to her assistance from all the tow
boat companies alopg the coast, and have
submitted the prices to Carlisle & Co,
the landeboye's owners a London. Up
to late last night no answer had been re-
ceived, but ii is expected that instruc-
tions will be here this morning.
Mr.. Hay, mate of the Clandeboye, who
arrived here Tuesday, in an open boat
from the steamship, said yesterday that
he was very anxious to get away TO his
ship, and could not understand why the
owners were delaying in giving instruc-
tons TO send her assistance He saws
the ship might as well be on top of the
Rocky mountains, and expect another
vessel TO pass her by chance, as to suppose
that another steamer will loom UP near
the point where she is anchored She is
out of the track Of all traders, being on
the northeast coast of the Little Bahama,
with coral reefs and rocks behind her
and the ocean beating against her bow
A sudden gale or hurricane, both Of
which are frequent in that locality, might
come with such force as to cause her TO
part her chains, and wreck her on the
rocks.
MIR. Hay said that yesterday was the
longest day he had ever spent. because he
had nothing to do but sit and wait for the
cable that never came. Hisexperience in
the open boat at sea did not equal the
suspense.
