return to-day, and a meeting for the or
ganization of an association TO manage
the Savannah club Will be held either to-
night or tomorrow night.
Several well known and prominent gem

be no trouble in securing funds with
which to run the club.
Mr.. Curtiss telegraphed the Morning
News last night, confirming the success
full organization of the league. He stated
that everybody is enthusiastic.
An Augusta special to the Morning News

enthusiastic over the outlook for the
league. All the cities were represented
in the meeting yesterday, and everything
has been arranged. Charleston was rep
resented by T. w. Passailaigue and Sol
Bowman, Savannah by Mr.. J. d. Curtiss,
Atlanta by c. A. Lamar and r. c.

Three meetings were held At the
~ O'Clock meeting r. w. Passailaigue of
Charleston was elected president and c.
A. Lamar of Atlanta secretary and treas
urer.
The Southeastern League was adopted
as the name, and each of the six clubs
subscribed $50 of the $500 to be sent Presi-
dent Nick Young of the National League
for protection and reservation. The
money was forwarded by telegraph and
at the afternoon meeting President
Youngs receipt and congratulations

curing of protection, shuts Atlanta out of
the Southern League.
At late hour last night the league
was in session arranging a schedule,

not keeping the clubs at home for too
long a time. Probably twelve or fifteen
games will be played at home and the
same number away. Under some of the
former schedules a club sometimes was

RAIL AND CROssTIE.

r. T. Wilson, president of the South
western railroad will receive, If he has
not already done so, about $4,000. He
owns between $500 and 5000 shares of
southwestern stock, of face value of
100000 TO 100000, or over three quarters
of a million dollars. Mr.. Wilson bought
some of his stock at a low figure and has
consequently made considerable money.
irrespective of his stock Mr.. Wilson has
made a good thing out of his connection
with the Southwestern railroad, for re-
recently the Southwestern allowed him
Sl50,OO0 for helping to protect the South
Westerns interest in the ganizatton
Of the Central road, and furnishing the
big bond that was required when the
Southwestern appealed its case TO the
