Blacks Gave the winners a lively
Chase,

The game of indoor base ball last night
at the Young Mems Christian Associa ton

the ninth inning, the Reds led by seven
runs, but the Blacks put up good finish,

Information reaches this city from New
York that steps preliminary to listing the
securities of the Central Of Georgia rail-
way on the stock exchange in that city,
are about to be taken.
Central securities have been advancing
in price for the past few days, and IT is
possible that the rise Is due to the fact
that they are about to be listed.
The offerings of the income bonds have
been much smaller than heretofore, and
there seems to be a disposition In the
north to hold them for higher prices.
New York brokers are counting on the
maintenance Of the gold standard, 10 ad-

Born in Noah,s Ark.

Hundreds of ancient cleaners of miscel-
laneous curios. legends, myths and tradi.
tions give us to understand that Cush was
born on the ark. Others claim that there
was a child born on the sacred vessel, but
that it was sacrificed to one of the wild
beasts, Noah declaring that no person
should leave the ark who had not gone on
board in the regular manner. The weight
of the evidence as it is given by the Tai
mudic writer's is to the effect that Cush is
the person referred to by the oidtlme
mystery cleaners when thev speak of the
s'ark- born man. The sacred books, as
we'll as the scores of biblical encyclope-
dias, hand books of ancient history, etc.,
are silent on the subject.
In reprint of the rare old Saxon
Chronicle is found clew to the mystery.
and another slight hint in an explanatory
note in Herberts Nimrod. In the Saxon
Chronicle the following occurs: "Bedwig
was the son of Shem, who was the son of
Noah, and he (Bedwig) was born on the
ark" Herbert's note in Nimrod. vol
ume II, page 81, says: Ky bolc is the
ark, and as Cush was begotten in the ark,
his posterity were, in a peculiar sense, de-
scended from that ship" Although Her
bert made no direct reference to the fact
of Cush being actually born in the ark, he
speaks of him in several places as .'Cush,
the ark born" The Talmudic writers dis
credit the Bedwig story, but declare that
Cush was born on the day that God 5
covenant" (the rainbow) first appeared

COAL-A local circular says: "During the week
there have been eight arrivals from the coast col
lferfes with 1850 tons of Coal, three from Aus
tral.a with 657S tons and three from swansea with
77U9 tons. All the above cargoes were placed
prior arrival, hence values have not been dis
turped by the recent literal addition to the stocks
on hand Trade generally In the fuel line Is vrry
quiet, occasioned partly by falling off in con-
sum ption and partly by the anxiety the part of
importers and ioobers TO force of cargors with
little profit In preference to storing them and
avail ing an Improvement Of prices. 1t Is univer-
sally acknowledged that Australian and English
coal freiehts must advance, there very slim
inducements for vessels to seek this port for wheat
loading alter December next, our stock OF grain
remaining on hand in January for foreign ship
ment will be very light against the IonnA in
sight to move same. Low prices Tor Coal may pre-
vail for three months to come, there is a long
list of engaged Coal tonn age from Australia at low
freigh;s; when these shall have been loaded
advance Is almost assured. 1t is very singular
that The present tempting quotations for steam
Goals are not being more generally availed OF, as
1t can be readily computed how absurdly low 1t Is
being transported. Where large consumers have
the space to pile 1t up purchases now made for
early delivery will pay ren1unerative interest for
buying in advance OF Immediate requirements"
