ABSOLUTELY PURE
RAIL AND CROssTIE.

The Macon Telegraph says the Macon,
Dublin and Savannah railroad and the
Wrightsville and Tennille railroad is now
trying TO agree on a traffic arrangement
that will mean much for Macon, If such
an agreement is reached. The Macon and
Dublin intends TO run into Savannah soon
er or later, but at present the line stops
on the banks Of the Oconee river at Dub
lin. The Wrightsville and Tennille passes
Dublin, thus connecting the Macon and
Dublin railroad with the Central of Geor-
gia railroad and the Augusta Southern
railroad at Tennille. The plan now under
consideration is for an arrangement to be
made between the Wrightsvile and Ten
mile, and the Macon and Dublin by which
the Macon and Dublin can receive traffic
from and send to Savannah via the Cen
trial of Georgia; from Port Royal via the
Augusta and Port Royal and the Augusta
Southern; from Charleston via the South
Carolina and Georgia and the Augusta
Southern. This. it is claimed. would give
Macon practically three new routes to the
sea- as under existing circumstances no
through freights come to Macon over the
Macon and Dublin.

CHRISTMAS A TRYING TIME.
stOrekeepers and Their Help Hard
Put to 1t.

This has been a busy week with the
storekeepers, and is likely to continue
another week. Proprietors and clerks
have scarcely time to think, and as for
getting their meals with any regularity
whatever, that is an utter imposslbility.
The dry goods and toy stores are among
the worst sufferers in this respect, though
there is probably no buster place in town
than the handsome Sternberg Jewelry
Palace.
Folks cry "hard times and yet this
big shop with its immense variety of fine
and valuable goods is daily thronged with
eager purchasers of diamonds, diamond
gold and silver tewelry, silver novelties
silk umbrellas, with unique novelty ham
dies, vases, clocks, watches, and a host
of other holiday attractions, until one Is
led to believe that hard times has no
other mental Vagary.
Perhaps the low prices have good
deal 10 do with the great popularity Of
this house; at all events, they are doing
business that is clearing out their stock
even if, as some suggest, they are not
making any money.
Sternberg's reputation for hrst class
goods is certainly standing him in good
stead now, and the many merry Christ
masses" that may credit their birth to
the Sternberg Jewelry Company will be
beyond computation.-ad.

FILLED HIM WITH BUCKsHoT.
A Railroad Agent Mt White Oak Takes
Vengeance on a Traducer.

News Of the serious and probably IA
tai shooting OF J. L. Adams, a section
foreman on the Florida Central and Pc
ninsular railroad. by W. T ROwell, the
depot agent at White oak, a small way
station about ninety miles from Savan-
nah, reached the city yesterday. The
shooting took place about 6 o'clock night
before last.
Rowel, il is said, suspected Adams of
intimacy with his wife. and had endeav-
ored TO put a stop to it, Night before
last, il is reported, he saw them walking
together up the railroad track, and get
ting his shotgun, he followed them. When
he came upon them Roweu let Adams
have both barrels of buckshOt in mis-
body. 1t is not known whether there was
any quarrel previous to the shooting, but
Roweil's wife stated afterwards that there
was, saying Adams had made an attempt
upon her husbands life, Whereupon he
shot him.
1t became apparent later that while
Adams was very badly wounded, there
was a possible chance for him 10 live,
and he was still alive last night. 1t is
said this puts matters in a new light, and
that a somewhat different story was told.
ROwell left the place Immediately after
the shooting and has not been seen since.
II is said the general feeling was with
Rowell. and there was no reason why he
should run away from the place. White
Oak being an out OF the way place, and
an effort having been made to hush the
matter up, il has been rather difficult to
secure much detailed Information with
regard to the shooting

the MiIledgeviIIe Road.
It is currently reported that the direc-
tors and officers of the Middle Georgia
and Atlantic railroad have among them
selves secured a majority of the capital
stock Of the Milledgeville and Eatonton
railroad, which the former is now operat-
ing under a cooperative contract amount
ing practically to a lease, which lasts I'M
til Jan. /, 1897.
1t is well known that these gentlemen
bought from an estate the other day 203
shares of this stock at lbs, an unusually
large figure, as its real value is put at
only about so. They state themselves
they have secured the majority of the
capital stock for the reason that they
want to continue the contract between
the two roads at its expiration.
This, il is stated, will be of great ad-
vantage to both properties as their loca-
ton is such that. when operated inde-
pendently they are necessarily at a dis
advantage.

MORE CHICAGO VISITORS.
Taken a Trip on the River by sR-
vnnnahians.

A party Of prominent Chicago officials
spent yesterday in the city and was en-
terrained by the Savannah officials. The
party consisted of Mr.. W. d. Kent, COM
missioner Of public works. Mrs. Kent and
daughters Misses Mary +. and Lillian
Kent; City Engineer L. b. Jackson, City
Electrician J. p. Barrett and ex-Fire
Marshal NJ. Benner and Mrs. Benner.
The party has been taking in the At
lanta exposition and very properly de-
cided to visit Savannah before returning
north. The visitors arrived in their pri-
Vate car early yesterday morning and
made their presence known to the city
officials. An official call was paid at the
city exchange where the party was
given a warm reception. II was decided
to take the visitors down the river on the
city tug and show them the water front.
The city officials who accompanied the
party on the trip were Mr.. A. N. Manpcy,
clerk Of council, Chief of Police Frank
McDermott, Public Works Commissioner
Elect Harry Willink and Supt. Herbert
Mr. Lotion Of the waterworks. They left
the city at II o'clock and did not return
until o'clock. The trip was q most de-
lightful one and was thoroughly enjoyed
by all, both visitors and hosts
The Chicagoans were evidently delight
ed with Savannah and their treatment
here and the Savannah officials were GER
tainly pleased with their guests. The
Chicago party left for home last night.

over $1,000 in stock Already Sub
seribed.

There have been actual subscriptions OF
$500 to the capital stock Of the proposed
military interstate association of Savan-
nah. This was reported at the meeting
held in Company AS rooms at the Guards
arsenal last night. Thirteen gentlemen
have subscribed $500 each, and the bal
ance is in amounts OF 500. 500 and 800,
the capital stock being valued at 500 per
share
There was an enthusiastic and an In
teresting meeting in spite Of the bad
weather Col. W. W. Gordon, chairman,
stated the plans and purposes which have
been discussed by those who propose TO
organize the association. He showed how
it was to be organized as a stock COM
pany on a business basis, TO take the
place Of the May week celebration, and
from it the stockholders expected to earn
a dividend.
Mr.. H. c. McFadden, assistant general
passenger agent Of the Plant system, stat
ed that his road was willing to make a
proposition which would be of advantage
TO the association. He said that it would
put on every ticket an admission ticket
to the exhibition here and charge 80
cents extra, this money to be turned over

MIR. McFadden's suggestion was looked
on as very timely one. Those present
realized that they were about ready for

been subscribed without any effort being
made. Mr.. McFadden's suggestion made
II apparent that the association would
have to be in touch with the railroads
In order to make the affair success.
The steering committee, of which Col
William Garrard is chairman, was au-
thorized, by resolution, to meet the gen.

actly what they can expect. This is
considered one Of the most, if not the
most, important feature of the arrange

Living.
The New Orleans police have found out
q lot about Dr. Hammond alias Hin. who
spent sometime in Savannah recently,
without being able to bring any definite
charge against him.
The Louisiana law allows suspicious
characters to be held without direct
charges being preferred. The accounts of
Hammond. as given in the New Orleans
papers. tally very closely with that given
of Hill in yesterdays Morning News. Ham,
mond is a crook whose chief game is to
pass himself off as a minister and physi-
clan and TO persuade women into marry
ing him.
According to the accounts received by the
New Orleans police he has married wo-
men all over the country. After marrying
the women and getting their property. he
gets rid of them. He is accused of killing
q wife in Jamaica, and of attempting "a
poison another in HallOweu Me Some
of the women got divorces from him after
he had robbed and maltreated them. II
1887 he married Miss jamie Kraft of Ma.
con, Fla. and abandoned her shortly az.
forwards. Miss Kraft is still living in Ma.
con.
Hammond is believed to have wives still
living in half a dozen places. What be
came of the women who were with hin
in Savannah is not known.

AT THE THEATER.
Minnie Madden Fishes Engage
ment Next Week.


The next attraction at the theater after
the Music Culture Club concert Monday
night is Mrs Minnie Madden
Fiske's engagement Christmas and
the day after Christmas. Mrs.
Fiske. who has not yet reached
the age that shows maturity of artistic
power-she is now but q years old-has
this season, after a retirement of five
years, come forth in a new play by Al
phonse Daudet. THE Queen of Liars" in
which her work has been so remarkable
as to lead critics in the cities in which she
has appeared to declare that she is the
emotional actress of the day. Mrs. Fiske
had during her retirement of five years
occasionally appeared in New York at
charity benefits patronized by society, and
in plays of the emotional repertoire was
so effective that the metropolitan critics
were amazed at her development and at
once said she should return finally and
permanently to the theater. She waited
however, until new play that would il
lustrate her ability was secured. This
play was found from the hand of the
French author. She will appear in this, as
well as in Ibsen's "A Dolls House, in
which she is declared to be the most con-
vincing Nora yet seen.

TO ANSWER ron ROBBERY.
A city Negro Arrested for Holding
Up n COuntryman.


Fred McDonough, colored, was arrest
ed yesterday afternoon and lodged in the
barracks on the charge of robbing a
countryman while under the influence of
liquor.
The queer thing about the arrest was
that It was brought about by James
Wright and Willie Glover, two negroes,
who were in court in the morning on the
charge of highway robbery. but who were
discharged, ii appearing that they were
not the parties wanted.
Wright and Glover were standing at
West Broad and Congress streets when
they saw McDonough and drunken
