MR.. Conner HAS NOTHING TO SAY.
The Meetings of the Stockholders for
Business and to Elect Directors.

Receiver II. NJ. Conner of the Central
railroad, returned yesterday from Atlanta,
where he went to attend a meeting of the
executive board of the Southern Railway
and Steamship Association, and also to
appear before the railroad committee of
the House Of Representatives in opposi-
ton to the Doolan railroad bill in case it
had come to an issue.
Mr.. Conner was seen by a representative
of the Morning News, but had nothing to
say either with regard to the meeting of
the association or with regard to the
course pursued in the case of the Doolan
bill. The bill was withdrawn before the
committee and there was no need of his ap-
pearing against IL. President Samuel
Spencer of the Southern Railway Company
was there for the purpose of appearing be-
fore the committee, but the withdrawal of
the bill made 1t unnecessary for anyone to
appear either for or against it.
Little interest, IL seems, is manifested
either in the annual meeting of the stock
holders Of the Central railroad or the an
nual election of directors. The annual
stockholders meeting is to be held Dec. 20
at 10 o'clock a. m, at the Central Railroad
Bank, but so far as is known there has
never, in long time been a quorum at
such meeting. 1t seems that the meetings
are merely held for the purpose of giving
the stockholders a trip to Savannah once a
year
The stockholders. too, have the advan-
tages Of another trip to Savannah on Jan.
Z, when the annual election of directors
is held. This really amounts to little more
than the annual meeting of the stockhold-
ers on account of the holding of the ma
jority stock by the Southern Railway Com
pany. 1t is more than likely that the pres
ent board of directors will be reelected
though there may be some additional in
terest attached to the meeting on account
of the fact that the reorganization plan is
expected TO go into effect in the coming
year, and for that reason the Southern
may want to name it's own directors. In
view of all the facts that have been stated
however, it is doubtful If there will be
any changes in the board of directors as
ii stands at present

THE INDUSTRIAL COLLEGE.
The School Large One and An Effort
is Being Made to Increase It's Library.


is Being Made to Increase It's Library.
The Georgia State Industrial College
has made progress during the
past year that is really phe-
nomenal. From about 100 students
which We're there last year. it has in
creased it's numbers now to 1874. of which
80 are students in the college proper and
"a are students in the model school branch
of the institution which was begun with
this present term.
The model school is a feature that is at
tracing much attention, and one which
will be of great benefit to those who take
advantage of 1t. 1t is the branch of the
institution where the students of the col
lege proper are taught to teach. The stu
dents are already preparing for their term
examinations, which will be held in about
three weeks, the term ending about the
first of January.
The members of the college will give a
concert and some general exercises at the
theater tonight at 8 o'clock for the bene-
fit of the schools library 1t is expected
that the entertainment will be an interest
ing one. The library of the institution
has been increased from time to time by
friendly donations, but the students have
a desire to make something of it and have
adopted this as one means of starting
a library fund for the purpose of enlargine

THE BOY AND THE CIGARETTE.
Employees at the Central Wharves
Must Eat Dinner This Side of the
Canal.

Employees at the Central Wharves
Must Eat Dinner This Side of the
Canal.
AS the result of recent order the en-
ployes at the Central railroad wharves
no longer eat their dinners on the wharves,
but must come across the bridge and
enjoy their midday meal on this side of
the canal.
A day or two ago one of the little ne
groes, who was in the habit Of carrying
meals to his father at the Ocean Steam
ship wharf, lit a cigarette among a lot
of cotton. He seemed to be aware that
this was against the law, for as soon as
he saw a policeman coming toward him,
he made haste to get away. and hid him
self in lot of boxes. The boxes were
watched, however, and as he tried to es-
cape from them at nightfall he was ar
rested and sent in to the barracks. On
one or two occasions, it is said, the ne
groes who carry meals to the wharves
have been seen with holes in their DINNER
pals stopped up with matches.
These facts led to the issuance of the
order, and now none of the employees.
except those who have offices on the
wharf are allowed to eat their meals
there. The men who work inside the
offices can have their meals brought 10
them there, but they must eat them in
the offices.
This requires that 400 or 500 employees on
the wharves who handle the freights there
every day must come across the canal
bridge at noon to get their dinners. They
eat them out on the open field near the
bridge on this side of the canal and there
they have no shelter. But the wharves
must be protected, and must be kept free
from all danger from fire, and this order
mas, under the circumstances, been con-
slaered one Of the necessary precautions
II is understood that there are repre-
sentatlves in the city of several of the in.
suranee companies which do a marine in.
suranee business, and they have called at.
tehtlon in some instances to the fact thai
N spite OF the precautions, persons are
sometimes seen smoking on the wharves
II Is understood that they are makins
arrangements TO see that all propertN

Ieetea, and they will probably make som,
complaint about this.

THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP.
A Little Girl Run over on the Barnard
Street Line.

J. p. Mcmillan. an Electric railway
motorman, was arrested yesterday on a
charge Of reckless handling Of his car.
preferred by 7. W. Logan. Mcmillan
was in charge Of car No. Il going south
on Barnard streets Saturday night. Be
tween CASTOR and Huntingdon streets a
little girl about years old. started across
the track. She was struck by the car and
knocked down, the wheels passing over
one foot. The child was taken in the
house Of her parents. on Huntington
street. near by. and Dr. Q. n Brandt.
the company's surgeon, was sent to attend
her.
A portion of the child's foot was taken
of yesterday by DR. j. b. Read. Nc
MILAN was arrested at the request of Mr..
Logan. He was taken 70 the barracks,
where he was released on bond
Supt MacFarland Of the Electric rail-
way, when inquired of yesterday concern
ing the accident, said that the motorman
was in no way at fault The car had
stopped at CASTOR street, he said, TO take
on a passenger and was slowing up TO
stop at Huntington street, when the
child ran across the track, directly in
front of the car. She was pursued by an
older child, who endeavored 70 stop her.
1t was impossible. Supt. MacFarland
said, for the motorman to stop
the car in time TO prevent
il from striking the child. The car was
only running at the rate of two miles an
hour at the time.
1t is understood that Mr.. Logan will
make the charge that the cars in use on
the Barnard street line are so badly worn
that they cannot be properly handled. 1t
has been frequent complaint by many
passengers on the Barnard street and Belt
lines that they are carried past the streets
at which the conductors are signalled to
stop, the conductors and motormen say
because the car brakes are so worn that
they will not grip the wheels and the cars
cannot be stopped readily. The general
complaint is that many of the cars are
worn out and unfit for service.

BAKING POWDER.
GABRIEL WAS TOO SLOW.
An Old Thief Robs a House and Wear
on His Booty.

- --A1 0S0NSs
Gabriel Marks, an old offender, who has
served several terms in the chain-gang,
will very likely go up for another term
shortly.
Gabriel finished a twelve months SEN
tence in the gang for larceny last month.
He found himself short on winter cloth
ing and concluded that Saturday night
was a good time to replenish his stock.
A little before midnight he entered the
residence. No. 156 Liberty street and pro-
ceeded to the third floor, when he entered
the rooms occupied by several young gen.
tlemen. He stripped rooms of clothing,
Overcoats and a considerable amount Of
underwear and succeeded in getting out
of the way without being discovered
When two of the young men, Messrs. II.
p. Driver and +. p. Herty. entered their
room shortly after they were surprised to
find that pretty much all their clothing
that had been left in there was missing
They at once reported their loss to the
police. Sergeant Killourhy who was on
duty, advised them to return to the bar
racks in the morning, when they would
find the detectives on hand. The young
men only remained at the barracks
boarding house. At Whitaker street and
Perry street lane they met a negro COM
ing out of the lane. The negro had
bundle under his arm and appeared to be
acting suspiciously. They decided that 1t
would be well to investigate. They were
somewhat surprised to find that the ne
gro was already arrayed in their clothing
They at once marched him down to the
barracks and turned him over to the ser
geant. He was disrobed in the sergeants
office and was relieved of three pair OF
pantaloons, two coats and an overcoat,
besides another overcoat which he had
on his arm. The pockets were stuffed
with shirts and Undertaking.
Being a short negro, Gabriel looked
about as big around as he was high when
he was marched into the barracks. He
claimed to have found the clothing on
wagon in the lane. Gabriel is said to
have served four sentences on the gang al
ready for larceny.

ARRIVED IN DISTRESS.
The Spanish Steamship Julio Broke
Her Shaft and was Adrift Five Days.

The Spanish steamship Julio Capt. Lee
zama, arrived at Tybee yesterday after
noon in distress. having been brought into
port by the British steamship Hindustan,
Capt. Hazard.
The Julio left Charleston Nov 20 for
Barcelona. with a cargo of cotton, and af-
ter about four days at sea broke her pro-
peller-shaft and lost her propeller. This
left her at the mercy of the wind and
waves, but fortunately she encountered no
particularly severe weather. After drift
ing around for five days her signals of dis
tress were seen by the Hindustan, which
was bound from Swansea to this port, and
the latter vessel towed her into Tybee
roads.
The Julio was brought up to the city
by the tugs Paulsen and H. NJ. c. Smith.
and, after her owners are notified, she will
probably be sent north for repairs.

SENATOR HILL on WAGES

In IA speech to the people of Amsterdam,
n. T., Senator Hill said in part:
from one boss wages are low, but when
six bosses are looking for ore workman
wages are high and that situation largely
comprehends and explains the labor prob
lem.
You must recollect the grca. CONNER
cial panic Of 1879. when wages disappear
ed, industries suspended and fortunes were
sunk, and vet all the while the country was
enjoying the allie red bIes ;ings of an eXor-
bitant tariff under republican admins
tration.
The great Carnegie labor strike at
Pittsburg occurred in the very heart of re-
publican Pennsylvania. and in the very in
dustry which was the most largely protect
ed
IN the summer of 1892 while Mr.. Har-
riSon was President. the great Chicago.
Burlington and Quincy Railway strike oc-
cured under a high protective tariff, and
yet the high wages which wOrkingmen de
manded were not forthcoming Good
wages do not follow to workingmen sim
ply because there are high tariffs imposed
The present democratic tariff law will
produce the needed revenues for the sup
port of the government: it will save the
necessity for the issue of any further GOV
eminent bonds with which to supply the
needs of the treasury; it will not destroy
any industry: it will not require the re-
duction of the wages of a single working
man, because its provisions are 50 modcr-
ate. reasonable and fair, its single direct
purpose is revenue and the collection of
such revenue will afford all the incidental
or collateral protection to which any in
duStry may fairly claim. 1t will not cause
overproduction. and hence will not event
ually reduce wages.
