DARIEN's NEW RAILROAD.

1t Is Expected to Be in Operation in
Three Months.
Darien people are happy over the fact
that the Darien and Western railroad will
be completed and equipped for service
within three months. Frank. NJ. Baker of
New York has been made general mana
ger of the road, and will push the work
now in progress to its earliest completion
The Darien Gazette says:
THE new owners of the road are some
of New Yorks best business men-men Of
the strictest integrity-and we feel that
they have long been anxious to put more
money in the enterprise, and push it to
completion just as soon as proper show
ing could be made to them. They are
going to complete the road, it is true, but
the people of Darien who are going to
be most benefited by this enterprise, Will
be called upon to give financial aid, and
they should not hesitate for a second to
respond literally to the call.
I'VE are going to get the road but we
want the shops etc, and of course every
body will have to chip in and see that
the money is raised. Mr.. Baker says he
wants the people Of Darien to stand by
him, now that he has taken charge of the
enterprise.
"All the money needed to put the road
in good shape has not been raised yet
and he Of course expects the property
holders OF the county to help him out; and
We believe they win do it, 1t is to their
interest TO aid him in every way possible
THE iron has been purchased and is
now being put aboard the schooners in

WANTED A JOB FOR HER LOVER.
A Young Woman s Appealing Letter to
the Mayor.

If all the queer letters received at the
mayors office were bound together it
would make an interesting scrap book
The mayor is the source to which all the
distressed, unfortunate, and especially
everybody out of job look to for help.
A communication was received last
week addressed to Mayor MacdonoghaI. -
The writer had presumably been studying
ancient Celtic and concluded that this was
the proper manner of spelling the mayor s
name. The writer young lady stated
al some length, that she was the only
support of her mother and two sisters
and that She had to work very hard. She
finally came to the point by saying that
she was engaged to be married Her
young man was out of a job, however, and
was now in the country she said, looking
for work. She earnestly appealed to the
mayor to appoint her lover member of
the police force or the fire department. in
which case she said they would get mar
ried and she would then not have to work
so hard and would be able to take care
of her mother and sisters.
Such an appeal should have moved the
stoniest of hearts, but the mayor coldly
and unfeelingly replied that there We're no
ments at present and that the young man
would have to file his application and take
his chances along with other applicants. 1t
is safe to predict that Mayor McDonoueh
will not get the vote Of this young lady's
sweetheart next January, not if she has
any influence with him, and she probably

SaVannahian'S Will Observe the Day
Generally This Year.

1t Will Be Devoted to THANKSGIVING
and Enjoyment-The Programme That
viii Fill Up the Disqualification in
the City and at the Resorts-What the
Military Have in visw.
Thanksgiving is but a few days off. Sa-
vannahians will observe the day this
year more generally than has been the
custom in many years There will be a
general suspension of business and the
day will be given up to enjoyment and to
Thanksgiving for the favors which have
been bestowed on the city and it's people
The usual Thanksgiving services will be
held in the churches. All of the Episco-
pallan churches will tave special ser
vices in observance of the day and the
Evangelical churches will hold union
service at Wesley Monumental church at
which Rev. DR. W. S. Schaeffer of the
Lutheran church will preach.
The usual holiday sports will be ar
ranged at the resorts, and as is customary
on Thanksgiving day, if pleasant, will be
taken advantage of by sportsmen. Lovers
of foot ball will have an opportunity Of
airing their enthusiasm at the Savannah
Athens game.
The Cadets will spend the day in target
practice at HarmOns range. An oyster
roast, and other accessories Will accom-
pany the practice. The Cadets will prob
ably be the only company besides the Hus-
sars to spend the day at the butts.
The Georgia Hussars win go out to the
Hermitage for a prize pistol shoot at the
invitation of Lieut.. Henry McAlpin. Those
who can secure horses will go mounted
in command of Capt. Bierne Gordon
while a squad composed of those who do
not get horses will go out in charge of a
commissioned officer
The contest will be with pistols for the
DeRenne medal, and for a handsome
Smith & Wesson revolver, given the troop
by Mr.. e. DeRenne. Mr.. DeRenne pre-
sented the medal to the troops about two
years ago. and intended getting a hand
somer one, but being unable to procure
the medal he wanted, he gave the troops
an elegant pistol to be contested for.
Each contestant will be given eighteen
shots, six with deliberate aim, six snap
shots at the word and six with the self
action revolvers known as self-action
shooting. The contest promises to be an
interesting one,

CAPT. PURSES RAILROAD BILL.
The Understanding That It Originated
in New York.

Al AfFW 4 VI
It is reported. and the report seems to be
well founded, that Capt. Purses anti-con-
soHdauon railroad bill that was introduced
into the legislature Friday. was drawn mp
by d New York lawyer and sent here for
the purpose Of having it introduced into
the legislature. The fact that Capt Purse
appears as the author of it makes it ap-
pear that it originated here in Savannah
and that it expresses the sentiment of the
people OF this section. If drawn by New
York lawyer, as stated. the instigator Of
IL is some one probably who wants 10 de-
feat the plan for the REORGANIZATION of the
Central. either because he is dissatisfied
with the plan, or who hopes 20 alarm
junior security holders and cause them
to part with their securities al price be-
low their real value.
The bill is calculated 10 give the i'm
preston that there is hostility TO railroads
in Georgia and thus keep capital from
being invested in railroads In Georgia. 1t
Is difficult to see what possible benefit the
bill could he TO Savannah or Georgia, If
il should become q law. The Southern
railway cannot be deprived Of it's control
Of the Central legislation. and the
passage of the bill would therefore harm
rather than benefit Savannah. ii the OBJ
ject Of the New York party is to defeat
the plan of reorganization because he is
dissatisfied with it, or for the purpose Of
speculation, he will likely be disappointed
as it Is not probable that the legislature
would allow itself TO be used 70 further
any such scheme.
