Party Captures Some Good Strings
OF Tybse Island.
The fishing down at the mouth of the
river is very good these days, and a few
parties have taken advantage of this fact.
The other day the steam launch Elsie,
with a party of ten aboard, left the city
in the morning, returning in the evening,
each with good string.
The party was in charge of James
Remke, with James Ii. Gallaher second in
command. Mr. w. A. Morrissey caught
the largest fish, a trout about 10 inches
long, while Mr.. j. Prendible caught the
longest string, about 30 fish, including
trout, Spanish mackerel, croakers and
whiting Mr.. Gallaher. after hard
struggle, caught STRENGTHENING sea

caught few cat fish in the morning, and
in the afternoon succeeded in losing the
largest and heaviest fish that has put into

face OF the water when the hook snapped
and the fish got away. MIR =. n. Gearon,
IN the bow of the launch, said nothing for
an hour, but kept pulling in trout and
whiting, with an occasional croaker. One
of the party succeeded in catching moth

in this section of the country The Civ

Some Pointers for Savannah from that
of Kansas City.
Capt. D, G. Purse, president of the
board of trade, has received letter from
Commissioner A. J. Vanlandingham of
the Kansas City Transportation Bureau,
giving some of the facts and figures in
connection with the operations of that
bureau which may be of interest to those
who want freight bureau established in
Savannah.
The transportation bureau, it states, has
been in operation now for nearly five
years, having first been organized on a
three years basis, and at the expiration
of that time on a basis of three years
more. The annual expenses, it states
are about 80 600. The commercial neo-
pie of the city are its members Notes
are given for the dues of the members,
payable quarterly, and the amount paid
by each ranges from S25 to $3.50 per an
mum, according to the amount of business
done by the member paying The COM
mercial organizations of the city each con-
tribute amounts ranging from $3.50 to

matters relative to railroad questions are
handled through the commission and he is

A PRELIMINARY SURVEY.
The Macon and Dublin Railroad May
Be Extended to Savannah Shortly.

The Macon and Dublin Railroad May
Be Extended to Savannah Shortly.
A surveying party, headed by Mr. NJ
c. Craig, will start out from Savannah
to-day to survey the line for the Macon.
Dublin and Savannah railroad from Sa-
vannah toward Dublin. At the same
time another party will start from Dublin
to work toward Savannah.
Mr.. Craig informed a MORNING News
reporter yesterday that it would proba-
bly, take about a month to complete the
survey. A preliminary survey will first
be made, and then the route will be gone
over again, and the line located. Mr.
Craig's party consists of fifteen persons,
including laborers. The thorough and
business like manner in which the survey
is being undertaken is pretty good evi-
dence that the company is now prepared
to put the road through to Savannah.
President Wright of the Macon, Dublin
and Savannah railroad has always said
that his road would be built through to
Savannah just as soon as the financial
condition of the country improved sutfi-
GENTLY TO allow the western capitalists
who have invested their money in the
property to give il their attention. This
time now appears TO have arrived Mr.
Craig said that he had no information as
to the intentions of the company with re-
gard to the building of the road, but that
all the indications pointed to the early
beginning of the work.
The conditional grant made by the city
to the Macon, Dublin and Savannah rail
road was extended last spring at Presl-
dent Wright's request for another year.
President Wright said then that this
would be the last time that his company
would ask for an extension of the grant,
and his words appear to have been signif-
can't. The road can easily be completed
within six months.

Arrangements Being Made to Give the
Champions a Chance.
Asheville, N c., Aug. 27.-Among the
southern cyclists quite an interest is
being manifested over the series of south
ern championship races which it is pro
posed to run off this fall. There are a
number of fast men in the south, such as
Connerat, Farmer, Baird, Temple, Adams,
Mixson and Bolles, all of whom are very
closely matched aud are DESTROYS of OBJ
tanning the title of champion which is
now held by Fitzsimons.
1t was expected that the southern
championship would be run off at the
spring meet of the Charleston wheelmen,
but, owing TO delay in advertising a sane
ton could not be obtained and the Column
bia Cup Race was substituted in its place.
This was won by Fitzsimons, and ever
since that time the other men have been
anxious for another trial. To this end,
Baird issued a challenge for a series Of
races to decide the superiority. The chal-
lenge was accepted by Fitzsimons, and
the first race was to have been run at
Sumter, S. c., on June %. Baird was on
the ground and so was Adams, who was
prepared to challenge the winner. but
owing to a serious illness Fitzsimons was
unable to be present, hence the match
race has never been run.
Arrangements are now being made for
a circuit which will take in the principal
places in the southeastern states, with
races for Glass A men only. If these ar
engagements can be perfected the series
of championship races will be run off at
matter will be settled for this season at
least

Augusta, Ga, Aug. PA. J. Schwers
of Augusta died to-day while he was re-
turning TO his home from Hot Springs,
n. c., where he went short time since
for his health. Mr.. Schwers came to
Augusta six years ago, and as president
and manager of the Augusta Brewing
Company has taken an active part in the
business of the town. He was a director
of the exposition company, and was active
and prominent in all public measures for
the city's interest. He was a man of at
tractive personality, a good business man,
and enjoyed the friendship, respect and
confidence of the community. Some time
ago his enterprise in this city became in
volved, but after months of patient and
capable work he had brought everything
back up TO solid basis. and
relieved the concern of its financial en-
bSrrassment. IL is thought that his
anxiety and the labor he expended in put
ting the enterprise back upon its feet
caused nervous proStration and brought
on the paralysis which yesterday ended
his promising career Mr.. Schwers was
yet young man in the meridian of life
He was born in Cincinnati AZ years ago,
