ASSETS OF THE COMPANY.


The assets of the several companies,
as reported by the commissioners, are
merely the roads and equipments, con-
sieting OF the subsidzed lines and the
branch roads afterwards constructed.
In the opinion of the commisso oners
the value of the former-with the ex-
ception of the Union Pacifc-is less
than the amount OF the frat mortgage
bonds. The latter also are mortgaged
to their full valus. Tho mortgaged
property therefore constitutes no secur-
ity for the debt. This appears fully
from the detailed statement given by
the commissioners which is as follows !:
The subsidized portion of the Central
Pacific railroad extends TO point five
miles west OF Ogden, Utah, to Sscra-
mento, California. distance of 1880
miles, and from Sacramento to San Jose,
l23 l6 miles. The latter line was for
merly known as the Western Pacific
railroad.
The Central Pacific embraces. by con-
solidation of date 1870, the ollowing
branches: First, the San Francisco. Oak
land and Alameda railroad. extending
from Niles to Oakland. "a. 81 miles; sec
ond. the California and Oregon railroad +,
from Roseviile, California. to the bound
ary of tho state of Oregon, 296 81 miles !;
third. the San Joaquin Valley railroad,
from Lathrop to Goshen, 1853 miea ;
total mileage of Southern Pacific rail-
road, 1857 30 miles, of which 860.7
miles ore subsidized and 495. so miles are
not subsidized.
The value of the Central Pacific rail-
road as at present consolidated, as esti-
mated by Colonel Morgan. is $ll0. .000,-
900; but this estimate, in the judgment
OF the commission, is excessive and out
of proportion with tho cost OF production
as fixed by Colonel Morgan, which is
$50, 1868, ,540." Up. 23.)

The Union Pacific railway proper con.
sists of tho main line from Council
Bluffs on the Missouri river to point
five miles west of Ogden (1038. 35 miles),
and OF the railways formerly known as
the Kansas Pacific and the Denver Pa
cifo, the aggregate length of which is
772 miles, of which only 393.94 miles
next west OF the Missouri river were sub
sidizsd. Total length OF line, 18l5.57

the total mileage OF the connecting
branches is 1881. .93 miles," 70. H.
With reference to the latter. sit is
sufficient for the present purpose to say
that the system is operated as whole !;
that the branches and the main line are
mutually dependent on each other for
support and development, and that
through this system they represent q
vastly greater earning power than would
either the branches or main line itself
were they dismem bered. The net earn
ings OF the system taken for the past
three years (by which term is now
meant their gross earnings less their
operating expenses and taxes) have
averaged $9,S0O,O ,OOO; of which sum
So, 100000 should be credited to the
parent line, and $l,600.000 to the
branch system.
"The actual value of the system, as
gathered from Colonel Morgsn'H intelli-
gent examination, based both upon the
cost of construction. on the increased
value OF terminal facilities and right of
way, and also on close and critical ex-
animation of the earning power Of the
main line. may be approximately stated
at $4,000. 600" (p. 11.)
1t would seem, therefore, from the fig
ures given in the report that this rail-
road, including branches, must. at this
time, be OF value nearly equal to the

NO NEED FOR HARD TIMES.
The Way to Live Economically and
Keep in Good Health.

Keep in Good Health.
"Some people are chronic criers of hard
times" remarked Logan, the butcher,
yesterday as he took a breathing spell,
after the morning rush. There are GER
tain folks who must always have the
first cuts of tenderloins, and are not
satisfied with any other part" continued
Mr.. Logan, "and one would think that
every beef contained thousand tender
lOins by the continued call for them"
Are they all supplied" was asked.
II should say not, " said Logan. MANY,
however, buy 25 cent steak to feed
whole family of six, Just because they
nave an idea that they must have a ten
derioin' or nothing, while in fact they
could get three times the amount of first
class beef for the same money, which
would enable the whole family to at least
get bite.
"Of course, l recognize the fact that
common cuts from common beef are
surely common and it takes the choicest
cuts TO make palatable meal, but when
you take beef like that hanging there"
continued Mr.. Logan, pointing to an ex-
cellent quarter of choice western beef
you will find every particle of mea of
first class quality The first cuts natur-
ally are the highest in price, then comes
soup bones. All these are cheaper, but
when taken from beef like that, they are
tender and wholesome, and tit for the
most fastidious to mastiCate.
II can assure you that through my
travels in the western markets I have no
ticed that there is no better meats sold in
Kansas City or Chicago than is offered to
the citizens of Savannah. The prices are
also lower, and there is no reason for cry
ing hard times when you can get three
pounds of choice brisket for
25 cents choice oorned beef for
10 cents, or three pounds for
25 cents; select rounds or homeless corned
beef for l219 cents pound; large and
juicy soup bone, sufficient to fill and
strengthen an oyergrown family, for a
quarter of dollar. Then there's sweet
picked OK tongues. a nice delicacy, and
cheap too, al from 40 cents to rs cents
each. They can also get excellent sau-
sages for 10 cents pound.
Don't you see the point? Both quantity
and quality can be secured by patronizing
an establishment which sells the finest
cattle ever butchered, instead of paying
the same prices for inferior meats at I'M
reliable concerns. You can rely upon il.
l make point to keep the very best, and
sell all cuts of meats as low as any place
on earth, always giving a quality which
is palatable and wholesome. "-ad

THE COURT OF INQUIRY.
Guards Who VIII Not GO to Camp
Wondering What WIN Be Done.


/ The clause in order No. 30 issued by
Col. William Garrard with regard to
/ court of inquiry to be held on the return
of the corps from camp to inquire why
certain members did not go, has created
some stir among some of the members
who will not attend camp, as well as their
| employers. Some of them are asking what
1t means.
The clause referred to is as follows:
Immediately upon return from camp,
a court of inquiry will be held, TO consider
the case of each officer or man who may
fail 10 report for duty. as above, TO the
end, that a court martial may be held, to
pass upon such charges as may be formu-
lated against those who shall have dis
Obeyed this order"
The order as has been stated, however,
does not apply to those members who
have valid excuses for not attending the
encampT eut. but to such as have it in
their power TO attend and will not do so.
1t remains to be seen, however, what
course will be adopted at the court Of in
quiry.
The Guards will leave for Camp
Northen at midnight tonight. They will
have special train on the Central rail
road, and will carry up probably l25 men.
The PoOler Light Infantry will Join the
corps at that station. Col. Peter Reilly,
of the First Georgia regiment, will go up
to camp with the Guards as an interested
spectator.
The Pooler Light Infantry has made all
arrangements TO leave for camp after
midnight tonight. Private ]. r. With
ington, commissary of the company, with
COrpl. j. Forsyth and the cooks left for
Griffin last night. The following is a list
of the members Of the company who will
attend camp Capt +. II. Marshall,
Lieut.. w. l.. Bourne, Lieut.. B. s. Symons,
Sergts. G. Il. Bevans and William Lee,
Corps J. Symons, Bourne, Forsyth, Pat

The Central railroad will place a car at
the depot some time to-day for the boys,
which will be picked up by the train that
carries the Savannah Volunteer Guards.
Some wag threw package of the hard
est kind of bareback off the train at
Pooler yesterday, to which was attached
a tag reading:
''575 sacks of this arrived on s. S. Birming-
ham from New york this a. m, consigned
to quartermaster OF First Georgia Regiment,
a. Grimm. (Over)"
On the other side was written:
Look out Pooler Rifles as it was for
warded by No. %. HARD TACK"
This will no doubt be encouraging to
the boys, as they will be sure of plenty to
eat, whatever be the quality.

80 Hours-The Storm Warning Sent

The temperature last night was the
lowest ever known in Savannah in May.
A fan Of So in thirty hours is something
remarkable. AT o'clock Friday after
noon the mercury was go. At Z o'clock
last night it was 90 and was
still falling At 10 o'clock
Weather Observer Symth said it would
probably go to 45' and possibly to 44' be-
fore morning.
The lowest temperature ever recorded
in Savannah during May was AS, in 1871.
EVERYBODY sHIvERED.
The sudden change from the heat of
Thursday and Friday TO the low
temperature yesterday afternoon and
last night was severely felt. Most
people had packed away their winter
clothing for the summer, and there was
general rummaging Of trunks and closets
Tor heavy underwear and light overcOats.
A combination of straw hat and overcoat
with pongee coats and negligee shirts was
nothing unusual in the Saturday night
crowds.
The corner loungers shivered awhile
with their coat collars turned up and
their hands in their pockets and then
went home. The streets were deserted
early. The car conductors and motormen
wore muf1ers, and the Saturday night
patrons of the car lines shivered and
kicked about the open cars enthusiast
cally.
EFFECT ON THE CROPS.
The fruit farmers were glad to see an
end to the rain, but they were not anxious
for it to end with a cold wave While
they do not fear freeze, the crops will
be set back Many people were appre-
hensive of frost and rOse-bushes and
plants were covered to protect them from
injury. The cold was more severely felt
on account of the extremely warm
weather which preceded the fall in
temperature, and the fact that
people were unprepared for it.
The cold wave has been moving in this
direction for a week. 1t made its appear
ance last Monday on the eastern slope Of
the Rockies, and has been felt throughout
the entire west and northwest.
DANGEROUS WINDS ON THE COAST
The signals were hoisted by the
weather bureau on the board of trade
building yesterday morning indicating
dangerous winds on the coast
In the afternoon the southwest
signals were changed 70 northeast storm
signals, and the warning was sent out for
dangerous winds along the entire South
Atlantic coast, from Virginia 10 Florida.
The temperature fell rapidly IS night
came on. At s o'clock the weather bu-

the lowest temperature anywhere in the
country, 40. Augusta reported So,
Charlotte, n. c., "a, and Mont
