THE SAM ROADS PROSPECTS.
A Strong Move to Bring the Road Into
Savannah ct Once.

The Savannah, Americus and Montgom-
cry railrond first mortgage 6 per cent.
bonds ere now being offered at 80 to 50.
The road is now in process Of reOrganiza-
tiou. plan was adopted some weeks ago,
upon the successful carrying out of which
the present first mortgage bonds, now sell
ing around 50, will receive securities which
it IS expected will make them worth more
than 100 cents on the dollar
Inc reorganization provides for the rals-
ing OF sufficient amount of money (which
has already been guaranteed either to
purchase the existing line from Lyons to
Savannah, or else construct an entirely
new road int Savannah
It is estimated by expert authorities that
when the line Is opened through from
Montgomery 10 Savannah as an independ-
ent trunk line, with no Improbable
branches to sap its strength, It's gross earn
ings Will easily amount TO a minimum Of
$1,000 per mile per annum. and upon this
basis the company's net revenues would be
sufficient, not only to pay fun interest on
the new bonds, which it is proposed TO
issue in exchange for the old ones. but also
dividends upon the new preferred stock
which it IS proposed TO distribute to the
holders of the present first mortgage bonds
as a bonus.
The trouble all along has been that the
road has no entrance into Savannah except
over the Lyons branch of the Central or
the Savannah and Western. When opened
TO Savannah 1t viii constitute the shortest
line to many of the most important railway
ceuters From Savannah 10 Atlanta the

connection with the East tennessee, Nir.

producing country and when completed
into Savannah VIII be one Of the most i'm
portant feeders TO the port. The road 5
compact trunk line from Montgomery to
Lyons seVenty-fOur miles west of Savan-
nah. II is this latter distance that remains
TO be built or controlled to bring the road
into the city over its own tracks.

That Section of Florida Little Dam
aged by Last Weeks Storm.
Capt. a. w. Buie. superintendent Of the
Indian River Steamboat Company, was in
the city yesterday. Capt. Buies head
quarters are at Titusyille. That section of
Florida was cut of from the rest Of the
world for four days last week by the storm
which swept up the coast.
In spite of its severity Capt Buie said
very little damage was done at TitusviIle
or in that vicinity.
The steamer st. Lucie Of the Indian River
line was lying at her wharf in Titusvllc,
when the storm struck there, and was
scuttled and sunk TO prevent her being
blown against the wharf aad battered TO
pieces The steamer was sunk in water
over her decks leaving her cabins and
houswork out. In that way she was
saved from damage by the storm and after
it was over She was raised. This was about
the only damage tho steamboat company
sustained.
\ few buildings and wharves were
slightly damaged, but the loss was not
anywhere near as heavy as was at first
supposed it would be.
Capt. Buie says the orange growers
estimate Of the damage TO the crop is 10
per cent

DON'T THINK IT is so.
Mr.. Hartman Not Inclined to Believe
the Reported Carolina Railroad Deal.

Mr.. Hartman Not Inclined to Believe
the Reported Carolina Railroad Deal.
Mr. J. N. Hartman, who is associated
with Mr. George Parsons in the control of
the City and Suburban and Coast Line
railroads of this city, was seen yesterday
by a MORNIG News reporter and was ask ed
concerning the reported sale of the South
Carolina and Georgia railroad by the Par
sons to the Louisville and Nashville
MIR Hartman replied that he was not in
position TO speak authoritauvely but he
did not believe there was anything in the
report. Letters received by him and 9TH
ers in Savannah from the Messrs. Parsons
say nothing of the sale, or Of any deal, in
railroad is concerned MIR. Charles Par
sons name still appears at the head of the
company's printed matter as president, and
MIR. Henry Parsons continues to sign him
self as secretary and treasurer.
Il dOuOb think there is anything what
ever in the report" said Mr.. Hartman.
The South Carolina and Georgia is being
operated as an independent property and in
my opinion will continue to be so operated
for long time TO come. / do not think the
Messrs. Parsons bought the property with
any other intention"
The published reports to the effect that
the Louisville aud Nashville railroad has
acknowledged a loss of about 1856, 900 on
second mortgage bonds of the old South
Carolina railroad, which was recently pur-
chased at receivers sale by the Messrs.
Parsons. have caused very unfavOrable
comment among railroad men and iinan-
ciers. The opinion is that there was very
loose management somewhere.

BAKING POWDER,
SAVANNAH IN a LITTLE BLOW.
1t Makes Nervous People Think Of Cy-
clones and Such.

clones and Such.
A lively blow struck Savannah about 10
o'clock last night and for few minutes
made nervous people think the forerunner
of a hurricane had arrived 1t came with
little warning In fifteen minutes the streets
were flooded. The wind blew in gusts from all
quarters of the compass. No damage was
done, however, and the rain was a welcome
relief from the heat.
Yesterday was hot day. The mercury
was up TO S9' and the average for the daY
was S0'-nine degrees above the normal
temperature.
The weather was Of q threatening
character during the forenoon and vessels
for ports south of Savannah were advised
not to be out longer than twelve hours.
The steamer Margaret, Capt Fitzgerald,
for Tampa, left at 10 O'Clock, but put in at
jacksonville last night While there were
no Indications of q storm OF Florida, the
wires at Jupiter were down, and no reports
were received from that point.
The Key West reports last night were re-
ceivcd via Tampa. The wind was blowing
twelve miles an hour at o'clock from the
east. Clear weather prevailed yesterday
throughout the gulf states and in the
lower Mississippi valley. It was raining on
the Atlantic coast north of Savannah, at
Charleston, Hatteras and Norfolk. and in
the northwest where the lake storm is pre-
vailing.
The indications today are: Fair. except
local rains on the coast north winds; no
change in temperature.

A HARD CHASE FOR LIBERTY.
George Griffin Was Bound to Escape
Arrest, and no Did.

Arrest, and Rc Did.
George Griffin, who struck Schley
Rogers, a Central railroad wharf clerk, in
the head with billy on Indian street, day
before yesterday, has not yet been arrested.
Griffin made his escape in a rather unusual
manner.
The difficulty took place near the Savan-
nah brewery. The two young men were
alone together, but couple of Rogers
friends who saw the dimculty came run
ming up and pursued Griffin, who
ran when Rogers fell. Gritnn ran
TO the Ogeechee canal, Jumped
in and swan across TO the other side AS
he came TO tho wharf on the other side of
the canal two or three men who saw him
tried to stop him. Griffin evaded them by
going under the wharf. A Central rail
road policeman, who was on duty at the
wharf, threatened to shoot him if he did
not stop.
II only,kuocked a man down for being too
free with my wife, he said. you would
not shoot a man for that. would youl"
The policeman did not shoot aud Griffin
made his way under the wharf of the Cor
don press. As the wharf is flush with the
canal bank here it was not easy FOR the par
ties on the wharf to get at him. The DO
liceman got a ladder and went down under
the wharf, but Griffin had hidden out of
sight by this time. The difficulty occurred
ut $3.50 O'Clock at night. The policemen
on the wharf were instructed 10 kaep a
watch fer Griffin, which they did, but it is
supposed that he crawled out during the
night and made his escape. The report
That Griffin was shot by one Of his pursuers
is incorrect

George n. Rieden Arrested by or
GER Lilienthal On Telegram From
Augusta Stating He Was Wanted
by His Rondsman-He Was Guardian
for the Children of David Porter-A
Queer Transaction in Which He Put
UP a Silver Watch az Security.
George H. Riedeu was arrested yester-
day by Officer Lilienthal and A. B. Sligo, at
the corner Of Sixth and Habersham streets,
on a telegram from Augusta, stating that
he was wanted there for the mismanage-
ment OF an estatofef by David Porter, of
Savannah, Of whose children Reideu was
the guardian.
The telegram was from Sheriff O'Con-
nor, of Richmond county, and was sent at
the instance of w. I. Parks, a real estate
agent of that city, who is one of Reidell's
bondsmen. Riedell was placed in the
county Jail where ne viii await the arrival
of the sheriff or one Of his deputies, and it
is likely that he will be carried back to
Augusta this morning.
Just exactly what are the charges
against Riedell the telegram did not state,
but it is learned that he is charged with
the acknowledgement OF the funds in his
hands as guardian for the children of Da-

THE MONEY ALL GONE.

No idea is given in the telegram, however,
of the condition of the estate nor to what
extent it had been wasted, but the report
here last night was that the money had all
been spent. The telegram was from Sher-
if O'Connor, simply stating that Riedell
was wanted by his bondsman, w. F.
Parks.
1t seems that Riedell has been in the city
about month. About three weeks ago ne
told young Porter at the Central railroad
that he was going up to Augusta in a day
or two, and the latter gave him a silver
watch to take to his little brother Haines
Later Mr.. j. w. Seay of the Georgia Pine
bar made a complaint that man had
given him a check on Augusta for SO
which had been protested and sent back to
him unpaid. Officer Lilienthal took the
case in hand, arrested this same man
Riedell. and Mr. SeaY identified him as the
man who had given HIM the bad check.
Riedell, it is stated, then turned over to
MIR. Seay the silver watch which had been
given him to carry to Augusta as security Y,
and MIR. Seay, thinking it belonged 10 him,
accepted ii rather than prosecute him.
