WANTS MORE TIME.
The Macon, Dublin and Savannah TO
Ask an Extension From the City.

Ask an Extension From the City.
Mr.. James T. Wright, general manager
of the Macon. Dublin and Savannah rail-
road, and Mr.. A. c. soper of Chicago, who
is largely interested in the road, are in the
city.
The object of their visit is to secure a
further extension of the franchises grant
ed the company by the city, on condition
that the road be built to Savannah within
a specified time. The grant includes sew
eral lots of land west Of the canal, and
the right to use several streets. 1t has
been twice renewed, the grantees guaran-
teeing each time that the road would be
completed to Savannah within the time
specified.
The company paid the city s., 800 a year
ago for the renewal of the grant for one
year, with the, stipulation that a certain
number of miles of road must be built
from Savannah ives tward within the wear
The time has nearly expired, without any
1urther progress having been made and
grant.
Mr.. Wright has had a conference with
mayor Myers and stated the grounds on
Whlen ms company will request the re-
neWai OF the grant. He explained that
the financial depression which has IRE
NaiIeu throughout the country almost
since the inception of the enterprise, with
the inability to float new securities of any
klnd, especially railroad securities, was
the main cause of the delay in the com
pletlon OF the road: Mr.. Wright assured
the mayor that it is the purpose and in
tention of the company to Complete the
road 70 savannah, and that the projectors
hoped to be able to do so this year
Mayor Myers requested Mr.. Wright to
address petition to the council, Setting
forth the grounds of the company in ask.
ing continuance of the franchises con-
ferred upon It by the city. He agreed to
90 this and the petition viii probably be
presented at the meeting of council to-
morrow night. "

HAD HER THROAT CUT.
A Drunken Negro Woman Stabbed in
the Neck by White Man.

Fannie Fisher, disrepUtable negro wo-
man, had her throat cut this morning
shortly after midnight. The cutting oc-
Cured on Houston street, near South
Broad. The woman had been drinking
and carousing in the neighborhood for sew
eral hours. and had had two or three
difficulties previously.
The cutting is supposed TO have been
done by three white men who were in
Ben Crum's place when it closed at mid
night. The woman was taken to the po-
lice barracks, from where she was sent
to the Office of DR.. 7. p. Waring, at
South Broad and Drayton streets, where
her wound was dressed by DR.. Waring
The woman was supposed a first to have
been fatally cut, but DR.. Warning stated
that the wound was not necessarily a
dangerous one.
Detectives Scully and Godbold and Po-
liceman Shea were set to work on the
case. They learned the names of the par
ties who were in Crum's saloon, and the
men will probably be arrested before
morning.

Corpus Proceedings in His Behalf
Sam jenkins, who was acquitted in
Ocala, Fla, of the charge of murder, has
gone back to Mlllen, where he was at
once arrested and is now in Jail under a
sentence which was imposed upon him by
the mayor for selling liquor without a
license jenkins was fined $3.50 or SEN
fenced to work for certain period on the
streets. He refused to pay the fine and
announced his intention of working out
the time on the streets. 1t appeared, how
ever. that his physical condition wholly
united him for manual labor of that
kind, and the payment of the fine was in
sisted on. That is the reason jenkins left
Milen as he did just prior TO his arrest in
Savannah. Judge H. d. d. Twiggs, who
defended him in his trial a Ocala, was in
the city yesterday. He will go to Millen
and at once institute habeas corpus pro-

UNIVERSITY DORMITORY
BUILDING STONE.

The following is an abstract OF q re-
port rece~ thy made to the board OF reg
ents of the University of Arizona by
Prof. VIM. p. Blake, director or the
school OF mines:
The stone used IN the construction OF
the new dormitory is compsctly Gem
ented tufa; kind OF volcanic sand stone
made up Of fragments OF granite and
quartz porphyry. These materials are
so closely united by chemical action ae
to form a homogeneous stone which
breaks equally we'll in every direction
AMI dresses we'll undsr the hammer and
stone cutters toois. 1t is easily quarried
out in fine large blocks and can be
cheaply worked. 1t is not so hard as
granite, but compares better with COCO
brick, being a porous rock, without
grain 1t resists heat very well and does
not disintegrate. 1t is not injurlously
affected by water, OF which it can ABSORB
eight per cent. A cubic foot weighs
about 100 lbs and twelve and half cup-
ic feet will weigh one ton Of 1000 lbs.
The color is uniform and pleasing, be-
ing light psarly grey. 1t does not ao-
serb heat rapidly, being in this respect
better than dark colored stone. There
are no injurious elements present which
would discolCr the stone by chemical
change.
This stone has many points OF excel
lence which should cause it to be largely
used for both public and private build
ings. 1t is quarried few miles south
OF the city on the Quijotoa road and
forms part of an extensive formation
upon which several quarries have been
opened at different places, yielding stone
OF the same general character but differ
ing somewhat in color and composition.

THE MARYLAND SENATORSHIP.

The Baltimore Sun q paper largely
influential in the camp OF the Maryland
democracy has the following to say OF
the election of a republican senator from
that state and the turning down Of
German:
The election of Hon. George L. Well
ington by the legislature yesterday to
succeed Mr.. Gibson in the United States
senate ends one Of the liveliest and most
interesting contests for senatorial honors
that has occurred in that body for many
years. 1t was contest in which none
OF the competitors we're thoroughly
well known to the people of the state,
and about whom, therefore, but little
could be said one way or another. From
the first, however, Mr.. Wellington dem
onstrsted that the staying powers which
he displayed as leader of the repu blican
state campaign has developed in him an
abiding faith in himself in the campaign
before the general assembly. He fought
against the odds of divided sentiment
on the eastern shore question and OF the
fact that he had already been rewarded
with a seat in the lower branch of con-
gress, as we'll as against numerical mai
GRITTY OF his party in the legislature. 1t
was an open fight, and he will enter the
national senate handicapped by no
scandals, and let US hops prepared to do
bis full duty to his country. The event
marks, We trust. the beginning OF the
end of the dictatorship over Maryland
from the senate ct the United States.

NEGOTIATIONS were closed yesterday
whereby the gas plant of this city
passes into the hands to the Electric
Light & Power company. 1t is now a
home company, every share of the stock
being held in this city. 1t will, it is
stated, be the policy to treat all ir a
fair business like manner, nor raising
toe price of electc lights st all, but ad-
vancing the price to gas to afford them
a fair profit above the cost of production
The price OF lights established by the
electro light company, when it entered
in the arena for business, was as low as
in most OF the cities of the Pacific
coast, and lower than that where there
was no competition. Both companies
being now in the hands Of home capital,
every dollar either expended in running
OF the plants or in. dividends, should any
be declared, will be left at home. ne
wish the new combination success Just
so long as it deals fairly with its patrons
the people. This we have re1son to
believe will be the aim of the new man
agement as it was that Of the old.

How a Professor in a Military school
Cooled the Hot-Headed Students.
In the winter of 1S60-61 the majority
of the students at the Virginia mill
tary institute were secessionistS, while
the people of the town were almost
unanimously for the union. One day,
says the San Francisco Argonaut, two
of the students came back to the insti-
tute much worsted in fight with the
villagers, and the whole school re-
solved on vengeance. Selling their
guns large number of the BOYS start
ed toward the town. On their way
they had to pass Prof. Jaekson's house,
and he came out just in time to inter
cept them Jackson stepped on a
morse block in front of the house, and
just as the foremost of the students
came abreast of him he called out in
his most commanding tone: Haiti
front facet Almost inStinetively thew
obeyed, and after waiting for the
stragglers to come up he said in his
mildest tone: ''Well, young gentlemen,
where are you going?" One of the men
explained in a very excited way that
two of the boys had been maltreated
by the villagers, and they were deter
mined on revenge. ''Well," said the
professor, that may all be very well,
but whom have you for leader? You
can't go on an expedition without a
leader" They had not thought of
that, they said We'll, suppose 1 lead
you?" said Prof. Jackson. Nothing
would suit them better. ''Au right"
said the professor, but before we
start we must get little better organ
ization." To that end he marched and
countermarched them, wheeled them
up and down the road, and, in short,
carried them through all the evolu-
tions necessary for his purpose, which
was to cool them off. That being ac-
cOmplished he halted them before the
horse block, and, having lectured
them, he wound up by advising them
to go back to school and be good boys.
And this they did, after giving three
cheers for Prof. Jackson.
