COL. HAINEs' CAREER.
His Railroad Experience EminentIy
Fits Him for His New Office.

Col H. S. Haines, who has just been
chosen commissioner of the Southern
States Freight Association, at a salary Of
$1,000 a year, has been connected with
railroads pretty near all his life. His ap-
polntment is a source of congratulation
among his friends in Savannah, where he
has nearly always lived up to a few years
ago, when he moved to New York, on ac-
count of his business connections there
Col. Haines is in the prime of life. He
has worked his way up from the bottom
of the ladder in railroading. During his
early life he was an employe of the vari-
GUS railroads. with which he afterward
held important positions. He was for
years with the Charleston and Savannah
road. He became superintendent of the
old Atlantic and Gulf railroad in August,
1866, and continued TO serve that corpora
ton I'm that capacity until February,
1877. when its property passed into the
control of the receivers appointed by the
United States court for the Southern
district of Georgia.
Col. Haines continued in the manage
ment of the property in the same capacity
until December, 1879, when il Went TO the
Savannah, Florida and Western Railway
Company. He remained superintendent
and general manager of that property I'M
til March, 1891 when he was made vice
president of the Savannah, Florida ana
Western Railway Company, and after
ward of the Plant system. He recently re-
signed that position and has just &C
cepted the appointment as commissioner
of the Southern States Freight Associ-
alton.

TRAINS CRASH AT A CROSSING.
A Central Freight Bangs Into a
Charleston and savannah Special.

A Central Freight Bangs Into a
Charleston and savannah Special.
A serious accident occurred at the
Charleston and Savannah crossing Of the
Central railroad track last night about
dark
A Savannah and Western freight train
collided with an extra freight train on
the Charleston and Savannah road. The
Charleston and Savannah train was cross
ing the Central track when IL was struck
amidships, so TO speak by the Central
train, which was moving at good speed.
The result was serious smashup, though
fortunately nobody was injured.
Several freight cars of the Charleston
and Savannah train were knocked from
the track and smashed into kindling wood
and their contents scattered, and in addi-
ton several other cars were thrown from
the track. The engine of the Central
train was considerably damaged, but TO
what extent is not yet known. The re-
suit of the accident was to block the Cen
trail track nearly all night. Trainmaster
Cubbedge went to the scene with a wreck
ing train as soon as the wreck was re
ported, and was still al the scene at 2
o'clock this morning, at which time the
track was still blocked.
The Central trains passed In and out Of
the yards last night by way of the water
works track of the Florida Central and
Peninsular railroad the main track of
track just beyond the Charleston and Sa-
vannah crossing. This caused some de-
lay in the arrival and departure of passen-
ger trains, but not to any great extent.
Very little information could be obtaine
concerning the wreck, or its cause, from
that somebody was to blame for the acct
dent, but Just who is not known.

THE CITY MARKET.
The Improvement I'm Supplies Since
the Season Commenced.

the Season Commenced.
There has been a decided improvement
in the city market during the past week.
The approach of winter and the return of
those who have spent the summer in the
mountains, has caused a demand for the
seasons supplies. The old bill of fare,
consisting of beefstake and roasts, is now
supplanted by poultry and game and
other seasonable things to tickle the pal
ates of the epicures.
Yesterday was a grand opening day of
the season. The largest displays ever ex-
hibited were in the market. AS one walked
IN The main entrance on Congress
street, the sight was enough to create an
appetite on one who is opposed to eating
animal food. Here were large sides of
beeves being cut into delicious roasts and
steaks; pork hams to tempt all corners,
piles OF poultry, fresh and frozen.
There was an endless supply of liver
puddings, fresh and smoked sausages,
made by the champion sausage maker
picked tongues. picked pigs feet and
fresh tripe, and everything else to supply
the table of those who enjoy good living
The demand for all these seasona BILE
edlbles was as good as the things them
selves, and Logan and his force of capable
assistants was kept busy all day filling
orders for Sunday dinners.
The market opened at O'Clock in the
morning and closed at II o'clock at night (;
long hours to be sure, but people must be
lea ana Logan feeds them Well,-ad.

THE CAPTAIN AND CREW SAFE.
Rescued From the Schooner Maggie
Cain Before She Was Fired.

An Associated Press dispatch from Mar
Gus Point yesterday reported the schooner
Joseph N. Foster passed up the Delaware
river with Capt Queen and seven of the
crew of the schooner Maggie Cain on
board.
The schooner Maggie Cain sailed from
this port Oct. for Philadelphia. with 2sT
S96 feet Of pitch pine lumber, shipped by
J. +. Craig q Co. No particulars have
been received about the vessel, except
that she was set on fire by the crew of the
schooner Foster after taking the men off.
1t is supposed that she was struck by a
storm and became waterlogged. She is no
doubt the schooner reported by the steam
er Yucatan on fire off Hatteras last Tues
day, an account of which has been pun-
lished in the Morning News.

Cost Of = hale Of Cotton.

Mr.. John w. Starnes. one of Tipton's
farmers. cultivated thirty-five acres in
cotton last year and made twenty-one
bales. The total cost, including rent,
feed Of team, labor. picking, ginning,
hauling to market, etc, amounted tC
$3.50. 50. He sold his cotton in Memphis
and received S525-thus losing Sl25.5C
on the years work. MIR. Starnes places
his land rent at a per acre, which is en-
tirelv too much if cultivated in cotton.
Now if the land is actually worth the
amount paid it must be for some
other crop. and being a farmer he
should learn what that crop is, and
devote his labor to it. But we fear
our friend Starnes will continue to
raise cotton on his 4-dollar land and
lose another 1925. The casual reader
will conclude from the foregoing state.

CHARMING LITTLE DEN.

Hints That May Prove Of Value to the
Girl Who Needs One.
Every girl wants some spot, be It
never SO small, for her very own. Conf
dences are not easily exchanged in .
room where she is constantly'subject to
interruptions from the friends of her
mamma or her big sister, or where the
younger children have the right Of
way. Some place there must be where
she can talk over the last party with
her dearest Aminta, or sit and dream u
the last dance at that party and Of GER
tain sweet, whispered nothings; sanc-
turn where she can pcrchance let her
maiden fancies overflow in rhymes too
sacred for any eye. II this can be apart
from her bedroom SO much the better.
