LEASE OF THE GEORGIA ROAD.
The CentraI's Interest In 1t Not Lost
by Default.

Augusta, Ga, Sept. 4.-Hon. Joseph r.
Cumming. attorney for the Georgia rail-
road, said to-day, relative to the rumors
wired the Morning News last night, con-
corning the recent conference of the Geor-
gia roads directors on the subject of the
Centrals interest in the lease, that no
such business was before the directors
meeting, which was a regular routine
meeting. He said that 1t was not claim
ed by the Central that 1t had any longer
an interest in the Georgia railroad lease,
but that its interest had not been lost by
any default in the payment of it's share
of the rental. He said the Georgia rail-
road did not receive one-half of the rental
from the Louisville and Nashville and the
other half from the Central but the gem
eral manager of the Georgia railroad, as
the president of the lease committed
gave his check for the amount when it
was due; that at the last payment in
April General Manager Scott had given
a check for the amount as usual, and II
was of no interest to the Georgia Rail
road Company how the Louisville and
Nashville divided the amount with the
Central, or-whether one paid it all. That
was a question between the partners to
the partnership All the Georgia railroad
was Interested In was that the lease COM
pany should pay the rental when due,
and this had been done. 1T may be true"
said he, that at the time of the last
payment Messrs. Thomas and Ryan did
offer to President Scott or the lease com
pany half of the amount, but the aid
was not needed and not accepted. 1t is
well known that in the purchase of the
Central railroad assets by Messrs. Thomas
and Ryan, the leasehold interest In
the Georgia railroad was one Of the sche-
dued assets but one man cannot buy
a right to a partnership with another
without that others consent, and the
Louisville and Nashville occupies the po-
sition of surviving solvent partner after
the failure of one member Of the part
nership. IL is true that the Louisville
and Nashville claims ownership OF the
lease, and Il is true that Thomas and
Ryan bought in whatever right or inter
est the Central had left In 1t after the
failure of the Central railroad, but Il is
not true to my knowledge that the Geor>
gia directors have the matter under con-
sideraton in any shape, or that steps
are now being taken toward litigation
between Messrs. Thomas and Ryan and
the Louisville and Nashville to determine
any conflicting claims between them"

A BARK IN A HURRICANE.
She Loses Five Men and Is Badly
battered by the storm.

Battered by the storm.
New York, Sept H-The Norwegian
bark Viva was towed into port this morn
ing in a crippled and partially dismasted
condition, having met with terrific hur-
ricane on Sept. 9, when 140 miles south
of Nantucket lightshlp. She was bound
from Savannah with cargo of naval
stores, and left the former port on Aug
81. The voyage was without incident un-
til Sept. 8, when the wind blew a perfect
hurricane. The Viva was under shore
sail at the time but the wind soon blew
the canvas to ribbons, and also blew
away the sails which had been snugly
furled on the yards The bark heeled over
more and more until the port buwark
was entirely submerged and the water
came up TO the main hatchway. As she
did not right herself, Capt. Jansen de-
cided to cut away the foremast, and after
an hours work. the standing rigging
was cut away and the mast went
by the board The bark gradually right
ed. but the weight of the water on the
decks broke the port bulwarks and waist.
The heavy spars which had been cut away
were towing alongside, being held by The
port rigging and pounded the vessels side,
doing damage to the metal Finally the
crew succeeded In cutting them adrift. An
inventory OF the damage showed that the
main topgallant mast and mlzzentopmast
had been carried away, with all attached; !;
the largest lifeboat was badly stove In; the
water tanks were burst and there was
variety of minor damage about the decks
The loss of the canvas was serious, but
spare sails were bent on and the vessel
headed for this port for repairs.

has been aroused in Watklnsville by the
news that late this afternoon a strange
negro attempted rape on the person OF
Mrs. Clarence Maxey, the wife Of a we'll
to-do farmer. The crime took place at

lence. She resisted so bravely and per-
sistently that he failed to accomplish his
purpose.

was working, and upon hearing Of the out
rage he went at once to

for the negro. Sheriff OVERLY and

TELLER ON THE OUTLOOK.
He Is Confident the West Will BE
Solid For bryan.

Washington, Sept. H.-The room of the
Senate committee on appropriations was
the scene this afternoon of conference
between Chairman Jones, of the democrat
ic national committee, Senator German
and Mr.. Johnson of Kansas, member of
the executive committee on the one hand,
and Senator Teller and Dubois, the bolt
ing republican senators, on the other.
These gentlemen were in consultation for
upwards of two hours. When it was
over, Senator Teller said he came here
partly on private business and partly to
see Chairman Jones, he and Senator Du-
bois having been appointed members of
the advisory committee and this being the
first opportunity they had OF coming to-
gether. Senator Teller stated that it was
his intentions to leave for the west this
week. He will speak in Ashland, KY,
Saturday night, and will make two addi-
tional speeches in that state, the locality
and the date to be hereafter agreed up
on. From Kentucky he will go to Illinois,
and possibly Michigan and Indiana.
Speaking Of the general situation Senator
Teller said he looked upon the whole Pa
ciic coast as solid for Bryan, regardless
of what any one might say. There is
only one state in the west about which L
am unable to make a positive statement
and that Is wyoming he continued. Il
make a reservation there only because 1
am unacquainted with the conditions that
exist there. Outside of that l am quite
confident that everything in the west, in
Guiding the two Dakotas, Nebraska and
Kansas will be for Bryan by very large
majorities. If the east does its duty in this
contest, it is won, Bryan will be elected
and the free silver sentiment will pre-
vail"
Senator Dubois win leave within a day
or two for the west 10 renew his campaign

ROBBED BY HIGHwAYMEN.
A FIoridian Gagged and Then Res
Iieved of 1,4s5.

Jacksonville, Fla, Sept. H-Meager de-
tails we're learned In this city yesterday
of the sensational robbery of Archie Bar
Der Friday night, just across the Florida
Hne from Baker county, in Georgia, by
two white highwaymen. Barber, who Is
an old man, has always carried money
upon his person. A few days ago he sold
a tract of land in Florida. for which he
secured 81 800. The evening after the trans
action, two white men went TO his house,
called Barber outside, represented them
selves to be deputy United States mar
shals. and said they had come TO arrest
him for counterfelting. They took his
pistol away from him, put handcuffs on
his wrists and then went through his
pockets. Having done this they gagged
him and fed towards the st. Marys river,
where II Is thought that they took boats.
They secured $l,iS5.

He Makes Telling Speech and
Visits the Passaic.

Brunswick, Ga, Sept. 1.-Gov Atkin-
son addressed a large crowd of citizens
here to-day, and completely exploded the
charges made recently by his opponent,
Candidate Wright. His speech was en-

colored and was a big vote maker.
This afternoon he was received on board
the monitor Passaic, by the naval re-
serves, and expressed pleasure at the
visit. A picked crew of the reserves pull
ed the governor and his party over in

SAVANNAH, GA. TUESDAY SEPTEMBER Is 1885,

the democratic platform at Chicago was
formulated by the populists five years
ago. Mr. Bryan claims that the free COIN
age of silver win raise the prices of prod
ucts; you may get more dollars but you
will get less value. The silver men say
Wall street is running the country and
money is tied up. Tell me- how are you
to get any more money IL we have free
coinage. l have my bullion coined ana
put 1t in my vault. Some Of our silver
friends seem to think that If we have free
coinage they will find pot of money az
their door some morning. We say this
doctrine Is undemocratc and no civilized
nation has undertaken 1t.

London, Sept. H.-The Standard VIII to-

made to blow up the new public debt Of
fee and the British embassy. The un-
rest among the low class Turks Is increas-

against Armenian, but of the lives and
property Of all the foreign citizens In the
city. The patrols have been doubled every
where. but IL the government should or
der the soldiers to fire upon the mob Il il
likely that the order would be disobeyed.
and that the troops would fraternize with
the rioters.
