to Inspect the West Coast Roads.
Supt. J. w. Craig. of the west coast
lines Of the Plant system in Florida, from
Dupont south to Lakeland, passed through
Savannah yesterday on his way from
Charleston to Florida. He will meet
supt. Dunham. who is now in Mont
gomery. tomorrow, and they will go
over the lines together. superintendent
of Motive Power Rutherford will also
leave here tomorrow. and with Mr.. Dun
ham, will make an inspection of the
st. Petersburg road. Mr.. Plants late pur-
chase, preparatory to adding it to the
Plant system.
Supt. Craig has not fully determined
on the headquarters for his division yet.
In the circular announcing the appoint
ment of the new superintendents it was
stated that his headquarters would be
High Springs. This, however, may be
changed and Ocala may be made the
headquarters.
Supt Craig will remain in charge of
the office of master of transportation of
the Charleston and Savannah railroad
until April /. On leaving Charleston
this week he was the recipient of many
pleasant tokens of the respect and es-
TEEN in which he is held by his en-
ployes. Just before he left, day before
yesterday, he was presented by the en-
ployes of his office a beautiful gold watch
charm, with a compass on one side and
on the other a perpetual calendar. The
charm is unique in its design, and is
beautifully wrought. The conductors
presented him handsome leather trav-
cling bag and silver toilet set, and the
trainmen, in token Of their esteem for
their former superior. presented him a
handsome silk umbrella with silver de-
corations.
Supt. Craig has one of the most i'm
portant sections of the Plant system in
charge, handling as it does the heavy
phosphate business of Florida, hauling
both to Savannah and Tampa, and also
to it's connections for Fernandina.
The tendency has been for some time
to make this division, or the lines from
Waycross and Dupont south, the main
line into South Florida.

"WnI the road be taken out Of the
hands Of the receivers as soon as the
reorganization is complete?" Mr.. Young
was asked.
That does not necessarily follow he
replied. There is no immediate reason
for terminating the receivership."
Mr.. Young took exceptions to the state
ment made in the Morning News CORE
sBondence from Macon that the petition
Of the Electric Railway Company 10 Judge
Speer on March Il was purposely kept
secret
There was nothing surreptitious about
IL at ALL said Mr.. Young. We had no
desire TO conceal the fact. The plan OF
reorganization and the purpose Of the
company to reorganize at an early date
had already been announced here and
there was nothing TO conceal"
Mr.. J. r. Anderson, one OF the counsel
and also a director Of the Electric Railway
Company, said that the reorganization

change Of new bonds for old ones will

that remains to be done is to exchange the
bonds. Whether the receivership will be
continued after the completion of the re-
organization is another matter which
will be passed upon later by the court"

ANOTHER TRACT SECURED.
An AGREEMENT MADE FOR OPEN
ING STREETS THROUGH THE
GLATIGNY PROPERTY.

The Committee on Opening streets
Agrees TO Pay II Cents n Foot for
$4,000 square Feet Necessary for
the Opening of DraytOn. AbereOrn,
Lincoln and seventh streets-The
Matter TO Be Reported to Council
for Ratification Tonight.
The city has practically agreed upon a
purchase OF the Glatigny tract south Of
Seventh street. or that portion of it nee
essary for the opening in that direction
OF Drayton. Abercorn and Lincoln. Bull
to its fun width. and Seventh streets.
This is the last large tract TO be ac-
quired for the opening Of these streets.
There had to be purchased just 1900
square feet for the purpose of getting
these streets through this tract. and the
price that has been agreed upon is II cents
per square foot, or a total Of about So 800.
This is the agreement that was reached
between Messrs. Garrard. Meldrim and
Newman. attorneys for the Glatignys, and
the committee on opening streets. Of
which Alderman George Hudson is chair
man. The committee was unanimous in
It's vote on the acceptance of this PROPOSE
ton and will so report to council tonight
when the purchase will, no doubt. be rat
flied and arrangements entered into to
have 1t made over to the city. There is
another feature of the agreement which
has been made between the owners of the
land and the committee, subject to the rat
ification of council, and that is that the
amount is to be paid in five equal annual
installments, which will obviate the neces-
sity of patting the entire expense upon
any one budget.
Under the terms of agreement the own
ers of the property are to remove the
dwelling which stands in the way of one
of the streets, and this relieves the city
of another expense.
This leaves only few more small tracts
necessary to be acquired for the opening
of the streets mentioned beyond Seventh
street. Abercorn and Bull street TO It's
fun width all the way will probably be
the first streets to be opened, as there
remains less to be acquired on these
than on the others.
The committee on opening streets"
said Alderman Hudson yesterday, has
decided to push the opening Of the streets
in this section of the city as rapidly as
possible. There are several small inter
ests to deal with yet in order to accom-
plsh the objects in view, but practically
all the larger tracts necessary have been
acquired, or will be effectually so after
council has ratified the arrangement made
for the requirement of the Glatigny
tract"
1t seems to be the intention of the
committee to pursue an aggressive policy
and to push the work as. rapidly as pos
sible. The matter of opening the streets
across the Savannah, Florida and West
ern railroad is still pending before Judge
Falligant in the form OF injunction pro-
ceedinss, which were instituted by the
road, and no matter in what way it is
decided 1t is sure to ge before the SUI
preme court, where a decision win hard
ly be obtained before next October. This
will delay the opening of the streets across
that railroad for year at least, II the
decision of the supreme court should be
in favor of the city.

TO BEGIN WORK RIGHT AWAY.
NO DELAY IN COMPLETING THE NEW
ROAD TO SAVANNAH.

The Details of the Transfer of the
the Macon, Dublin and Savannah
Company About COmpleted-The
Application for an Extension of
Terminal Franchises to BE Grant
ed.
President James T. Wright Of the Him
OILS and Georgia Construction Company,
which is building the Macon. Dublin and
Savannah railroad, and Mr.. ]. NJ. Stubs
of Dublin. counsel for the company, spent
yesterday in the city. The object of their
visit was to confer with President John
r. Young and Messrs. Charlton, Mackall
& Anderson, attorneys of the Atlantic
Short Line, which has recently been ac-
quired by Mr.. Wright's company.
1.-THE deal is complete" said Mr.. Wright,
when asked about the matter, but the
transfer has not yet been made. We are
now engaged upon the details. There are
a number Of small matters which require
to be carefully and explicitly stated in
the transfer in order that no trouble may
arise hereafter on this account. We shall
probably return here next week, when the
deal will doubtless be completed and the
transfer made"
The terms of the deal, Mr.. Wright said,
have not been made public and will not
be until after the transfer has been made.
I'VE will begin work Immediately"
said Mr.. Wright, "as soon as the trans
fer is made, completing the line to Sa-
vannah. The rail from Dublin to Still
more has already been laid by the At
lantic Short Line, with the exception Of
about seven miles. but there is a good
deal of work to be done before this por-
ton of the line will ready for use. Our
first work will be toiput this portion of
the line in shape, then will begin building
Of about seventy miles. 1t is an easy
country to build through for the most
part and we shall build rapidly. The chief
delay will be at the bridge across the
Ogeechee river and the bridges across
the smaller streams. We expect to spend
a large amount of money this summer,
as we naturally desire to get to Savannah
as soon as possible"
A petition is now before council to ex-
tend the franchises granted to the Macon,
Dublin and Savannah railway and which
expires March l, for one year. An extern
sion of sixty days was granted by coun-
Gil with a view to the purpose which
has already been accomplished, the ANAL
gamation of the Macon, Dublin and Sa-
vannah and the Atlantic Short Line rail-
roads. There is little doubt that council
will readily grant the desired extension
of time.

A NOVEL ENTERTAINMENT.
The Characters of "A sketch Faith
fully Impersonated

A very enjoyable evening was spent in
the parlors of Mr.. James NJ. Barnard. Jr
by hundred Or more Of his friends last
evening. For their pleasure he provided an
entertainment that is new in Savannah.
He engaged Miss Adelaide Westcott. A pro-
fessional elocutionist and character i'm
personator, to present bright and spark
ling character sketch entitled New York. >"
written by Mr.. Charles Barnard. Miss
Westcott did her work admirably. Her in
depreciation of the different characters was
rewarded with many manifestations of
appreciation. Her facial expressions and
gestures were extremely effective and very
appropriate. Her acting was so good that
the story could be followed without an
effort. The story itself is, of course. very
meagre. 1t is that of a country girl who
becomes dissatisfied with home surround
lhss ana goes to New York, her experiences
on the journey ana in the city and the
sights she sees and the people she meets.
The charm of the entertainment is in the
presentation of the different characters
MISS Westcott adopts, of course, a cos
tune suitable to each character she i'm
personates
MI. barnard parlors looked much like a
theater in miniature. There was a pretty
little stage, with drop curtains of silk.
ana scene curtain, and il was brilliantly
lighted by electric lights, which the Brush
company had kindly put in for the occa-
sion, and there was an orchestra thar
discoursed sweet music before and after
the performance and between the scenes.
me gallery gods were absent but the
house was a good one, every seat being
taken and even the standing room he
ing occupied. The entertainer had no
cause to complain Of a lack of apprecia-
ton Tor the applause was frequent and
hearty.
After the entertainment refreshments
We're served and the guests of the even
ing had the pleasure of meeting Miss
Westcott, who had contributed so much
to their pleasure. Tomorrow evening she
viii give an entertainment at the De Solo
for the benefit Of the Savannah hospital.

NO JURIEs TO-DAY.
Two Murder Trials Assigned, But

Had TO he postponed.
Two murder cases were assigned for
trial in the superior court to-day, but the
petit juries have been called off again by
notice until tomorrow morning at 10
O'Clock, and neither of them will take
place.
Joe Blois was to have been put on trial
for the third time on the charge of MUIR
dering August Meyer He has been
twice convicted, and each time granted a.
new trial, as the state has not had suf-
hcient evidence to corroborate that of the
accomphce who was the main witness
against the defendant. 1t is understood
that the state has been unable to secure
any further evidence necessary to carry
on the case, and unless this is done the
probability is that the defendant will I'LL
umately have to be released.
Patrick Connors was to have been tried
yesterday also on the charge of the MUIR
der of Thomas Monroe on Christmas day.
Connors, however, is sick in bed with
pneumonia and of course the trial could
not go on.
The trial of Lem Davis, charged with
the murder of William Rawls, is as
signed for tomorrow, and both Mr.. F.
G. duBibnon for the defendant and So
hcitor General Fraser, for the state, have
called for the jury lists. The indications
are that the trial will take place.

WHY 1T WANTS To WITHDRAW.
Reasons of the Dissatisfaction on
the Part of the ;. and w. Bond
holders

Heasons of the Dissatisfaction on
the Part of the 5. and w. Bond
holders.
The report Of the contemplated with
drawaI from the Central system Of the
Savannah and Western lines by the bond
holders OF that part Of the system pub
lished in yesterdays Morning News is
believed here to be authentic and well
| founded. though whether any such inten-
ton will be carried out or not. is another
/ question
II is well known that the dissatisfaction
among the bondholders of the Savannah
and Western has been the cause Of the
delay in the publication Of the details Of
the INV plan OF Reorganization. The
original plan contemplated an issue Of
100000 of bonds on which the interest
was to be cumulative for five years al
vancing from 21z to 5 per cent, and out
Of these the Savannah and Western bond
holders were to be paid, though 1t was
never stated definitely just what they
were to receive.
The stronger interests back of the plan
considered this too much for the Savannah
and Western under the circumstances, as
II was believed to be more than the road
NbuAA earn III lAeQ GHdIAtHs at AEdSl Win
any positive certainty. This led to some
further negotiations and the amended
plan which gave the Savannah and West
ern bondholders 80 per cent. in new four
per cent. bonds, and 50 per cent. in first
preferred income bonds. While many con-
slider this a very liberal offer IL seems
there is considerable dissatisfaction es-
pecially on the part Of the committee OF
which Mr.. Simon Borg is at the head,
and for which Mr.. Patrick Calhoun is
attorney. Very little has been heard from
the head of the other committee which
is the firm of Wilson Colston & Co, of
Baltimore, though they have endeavored
by certain publications to bolster up the
bonds
Under the plan as it at present stands,
the Central railroad has agreed to with
draw all its claims against the Savan-
nah and Western, provided the bondhold-
ers of the latter company accept the plan.
These claims amount to nearly 100000,
and are for betterments and losses from
operations under the receivership. If the
Savannah and Western were to withdraw,
these claims would of course, be urged
in the courts for all they are worth. The
Savannah and Western is, of course. of
considerable advantage to the Central
a feeder at different points of the sys-
tenn, but 1t is considered by those IA
miliar with the situation that the former
line would be the heavier loser by far
should 1t withdraw The claims made
by the bondholders, who are asking for
better terms, Is that the Savannah and
Western really earns more than is shown
under the Centrars system of bookkeep-
ing, and this system, as is well known.
has been thoroughly gone into and in
veStigated by accountants representing
the bondholders of the road.

SHOULD HAVE AN ART SCHOOL.
Mr.. Horace Bradley Talks About sa-
vannah's Advantages in That Line.

Mr.. Horace Bradley Talks About Sa-
vannah's Advantages in That Line.
Mr.. Horace Bradley, the well known
manager of the art department of Har-
per's Magazine, was in Savannah a day
or two ago on his return from Florida to
New York. While here he visited the Tel
fair Academy, and in talking of it after
ward he took occasion to congratulate
Savannah on this magnificent art gallery,
as he characterized it. but he said there
is not enough done toward the carrying on
of an art school here.
Mr. Bradley took occasion TO speak es-
pecially of what has been accomplished
in the line of art by many who are and
who have been Savannahians, and which,
he said, should encourage the people here
to do all they can to have established
and maintained a thorough school of art.
Savannah. he said, ought to be a center
of art work. so to speak, and there is
no reason why this object should not be
accomplished.
He spoke of the fact that 1t was neces-
sary for a pupil to begin with the rudi-
ments, and said that there should be a
school from which none would be turned
away shhply beCduSe tHey ulu not KNOW
how to draw well. He said there is no
telling where true talent may spring FROM
and that a taste for this kind of work
should be encouraged. In this connection
he thought the academy should establish
free day, in order that those who would
not otherwise have an opportunity might
take advantage of It,
Among other things Mr.. Bradley mem
toned the fact that IL was rather sur
prising to see so many works of foreign
artists in the gallery, while there was
only one by an American artist, that be-
ing Julian StorTs Black Prince. Mr.
Bradley is an artist of considerable rep
utation, much of which was acquired
when he was still resident of Georgia
He now has charge of the entire art de-
partment of Harper's publications.

MUST BE INSPECTED HERE.
Naval stores Being Shipped without
Compliance With the Law.

NaVai stores Being Shipped Without
Compliance With the Law.
A new sensation has been sprung on
the naval stores market during the past
week. For the first time in the history of
the trade, Charleston has been shipping
rosin to Savannah. The receipts from
Charleston during the past week were
1887 barrels. consigned to local exporter
to be reshipped for Europe
A large amount Of this rosin has all
ready been loaded without being in
spected by the Savannah inspectors The
attention of the inspectors was called
yesterday to the fact that the law requires
that all naval stores to be exported from
this state shall be inspected and marked
by the sworn inspectors, and that any
person who shall ship or put on board
of any vessel for expectation any pitch
tar, rosin or turpentine, without comply
ing with the law, shall pay a forfeit OF
81 for every barrel so shipped, one half
to go to the informer and the other half
to the use of the city from whence 1t Is
exported
1t is question whether the inspection
at Charleston will be accepted at this
port and the rosin allowed to be shipped
without being re-inspected here.
The exporter who has been receiving
the shipments from Charleston has been
served with protest by the Savannah in
spectors, requiring him to desist from load
ing any more rosin until the matter is set
tied according to law. An Investigation
of the case will probably be made to-
day.
