STREET RAILROAD BONDS.
The Consolidated Mortgage of 81
100000 Filed For Record.

One of the biggest mortgages that has
been filed for record in the Chatham su-
perior court in a long time was placed
there yesterday by Messrs Barrow & Os-
borne, representing the Savannah, Thun-
derbolt and Isle Of Hope railroad.
This mortgage, or deed Of trust, was made
under a resolution Of the board of direc-
tors to the Central Trust Company Of
New York to secure an issue of bonds
amounting to 81 $4,000. The resolution
cites the fact that The Savannah, Thunder
bolt and Isle Of Hope Railway Company
has purchased the properties of the EIec-
trio Railway Company, afterwards the Sa-
Yannah Traction Company, and now owns
and controls all of the street railway
properties in Savannah. In this purchase
a large Indebtedness was incurred, and
for the purpose of paying it the bond issue
was decided upon
There viii be 30 bonds of a denomina-
ton of $1,000 each, bearing interest at 4
per cent, payable quarterly in gold. These
bonds are secured by a first mortgage up
on all the properties Of the company, in
GLIDING, as stated, all the street railway
lines and power houses in the city.
This Will be the only bonded debt upon
the system, as these new bonds viii be
standing. As trustee for the bondholders,
the Central Trust Company of New York
Is given all the usual rights and privi-
leges usually accorded under such a deed
of trust, being empowered TO take charge
of the property In the interest of the
bondholders in case there is a default on
the interest for a period of six months.
A portion of these bonds will be turned
over to the holders of the bonds Of the Sa-
vannah Traction Company, and it has
been agreed by the owners of the Savan-
nah Thunderbolt and Is.e of Hope railway
to pay so much cash for the bonds thus
distributed within a certain time. 1t is
probable that most of the holders of
the old Electric railway bonds will ac-
cept this proposition, and Mr.. George Par
sons controlling interest in the consoli-
dated properties will thus be made much
larger. The mortgage or deed of trust
is signed by the principal officers of the
mortgagor and the trustee in behalf Of
the bondholders or mortgages.

DIED FROM INJURIES.
Ex-POiiceman NeidIinger Victim of
Railroad Accident.

brakeman c. S. Neidlinger of the Cen
trail railroad died at the Savannah hos
pital last night at 1926 o'clock from the
effects of injuries sustained from a fall
from the top of car at Meldrim at 1870
o'clock night before last.
The injured brakeman died with his
five small children about him.
Mr.. Neidlinger was unable to tell how
the accident occurred. He was aboard
the freight train that arrives at Meldrim
at 1870 a. m. and started to put on the
brakes in response to the engineers sig
nal. In some way he lost his footing and
fell between two cars. His left leg was
crushed from the knee to the hip, his
right foot mashed into jelly and he re-
ceived a terrible scalp wound.
As soon as the discovery was made that
the brakeman had been hurt he was tax
en- up and put aboard the engine of the
train and brought back TO Savannah, ar
irving here at o'clock. He was then TAX
en- to the hospital. 1t was known from
the first that his injuries were very Sc
rious and little hope was entertained of
his recovery. Besides his children, MIR.
Neidlinger leaves a wife to mourn his loss.
He was well-known in Savannah. For ten
or eleven years he was one of the most
efficient members of the police force.

STOPPED AT RINCoN.
Lady who Was HurryinG to the
Bedside of Her Husband.


Rincon, north of Savannah, on the Flori-
da Central and Peninsular railroad, con-
tinues to bear off the honors as the sta
ton at which the greatest number Of pas
sengers unprovided with health certificates
are stopped. Seven had to get off the
early morning train yesterday and among
these was a lady, who had been called
home on account of the serious illness of
her husband.
She was Mrs. e. f. Burdett OF Halle
hurst, who was travelling from Washington
on a round trip ticket bought about two
weeks ago at Everett. Ii was her mis-
fortune to be unprovided with a certificate,
as the necessity of her getting home with
out delay was urgent. She and the other
passengers were allowed to come in on the
afternoon train after they had made afti-
davits that they had been in no district
infected by yellow fever. The railroad au-
thorities regarded the detention of the lady
as useless under the circumstances. and
thought that the officer might have exer-
cised sufficient discretion to permit her to
pass the quarantine lines on seeing that
she was travelling on a round trip ticket
from Washington, and in view of the cir
cumstances causing her return.

LISTS OF SCHOOL BOOKS.
Prof. Train to Receive the High
School Admission Fee.

School Admission Fee.
Supt. Ashmore of the public schools
has had lists prepared of all the books
that will be used this term This has
been usual since he assumed the super
intendence of the schools, and the lists
have been of great aid to the children and
their parents.
The lists are prepared from the cata-
logues of prices furnished by publishing
houses. In these are shown the prices the
dealers are allowed to demand for the
books and by having the lists placed in
the hands of the children on the opening
day of the schools, the superintendent re-
moves the possibility of the parents being
made to pay more than the proper prices.
Next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
while the cards of admission to the schools
are being given out, Prof. Train, the prin-
cipal of the high school, will be at the
office of the superintendent to receive the
first installment of the tuition fee of sl5
that will be a prerequisite to admission
into that school The board of education
decided that for the convenience of the
parents of the high school pupils, 1t would
be well to have the fee divided into three
installments. each to be paid in advance
at the beginning of each quarter. The fee
was found to be necessary in order to sup
plement the graz jury's appropriation
for school purposes.

DISCRIMINATION CHARGED.
Said That Cotton Is Being Taken
Through Savannah to Wilmington.

Said That Cotton Is Being Taken
Through Savannah to Wilmington.
Savannah is said to be getting the same
sort of a deal on cotton rates this season
from the railroads that she has been given
for the last several seasons.
Information has been furnished the Sa-
vannah freight bureau of what appears to
be an unjust discrimination against Sa-
vannah. Shipments of cotton, it is
stated, have been made through Savannah
to Wilmington, N. c., from Albany Ca
How it could be to the interest of the
railroads to make such shipments,
is something that the cotton
men cannot understand, and they want
the matter investigated. The shipments.
it is stated were made over the Plant sys
TEN.
Alexander Spunt & Son, large buyers of
cotton at Wilmington, have established
an office at Albany, and it is to their eff
forts that these shipments through Sa-
vannah 10 Wilmington are attributed.
THE railroads are not giving Savannah
a square deal in this matter" said a
prominent cotton buyer to Morning
News reporter yesterday. 1t is
easier to get rates on cotton
from the interior to other points and my
customers, or a good many of them, state
that they prefer shipments to Charleston
because they can get a shade lower rates
there. The Georgia railroad especially
seems to have 1t in for Savannah 1t is
very difficult for us to get any cotton off
of that road.
Here is Washington, Ca, for instance.
large interior shipping point, with rates
to Charleston about 30 cents a bale less
than to Savannah. How IL Is / cannot
understand, but such is the case. They
make a high grade of cotton in that
section, which is in demand here. 1t is
very desirable for us to get some of it
here, but it seems a hard thing to do"
Capt. Purse of the freight bureau stated
yesterday that he would take the case in
hand and promptly present the matter 10

THE STORM All SEA.
Constwise Vessels Experience Very
Little Hardship.

Coastwise vessels do not seem to have
caught the fun severity of the recent
storm. The Chattahoochee which arrived
from New York yesterday morning
struck the gale somewhat south of Hat
teras, but seems to have been only in
the edges Of it. The steamship rolled con-
siderably, and some of the passengers
were a little anxious for a time, but soon
got over it. Merely little gale" was
the way Capt Lewis expressed 1t.
The schooner Thomas A. Ward, which
arrived yesterday, was in quite a severe
blow just north of Charleston, but expe-
rienced no i'll effects. The schooner Hor-
ace b. Shares was off Savannah about the
time the gale began 20 blow. She was
carried by the force of the storm as far
south as st. Augustine, losing one of her
boats. With a good wind she managed 10
get back yesterday without any difficulty.
No wrecks have yet been reported.

MIR. JOHNSON TALKED OF.
Said There May Re an Effort to Make
Him Republican Chairman.


The matter of full reorganization of
the Georgia republican party and the rele-
cation of the regime of Col. A. E. Buck
will probably come up before the state
convention of republicans, which is to
assemble in Atlanta early next month.
According to the Constitution, Mr.. T. F.
johnson of Savannah is slated for the
Office of state chairman. 1t is the deter
mination of those republicans in revolt 10
put out United States Marshal Johnson,
upon the ground that he was never legally
elected TO the craftsmanship. This move
ment is in direct opposition to the policy
of Col. Buck, and if it is carried through
will mean that the whole party in this
state is 10 be reorganized.
The job Jackson McHenry wants and
other affairs will make the coming ses-
sion of republicans rather busy. 1t is
said the convention mey take up The cud-
gel in McHenry's behalf and endeavor TO
have him made janitor of the custom

THE GRASS WILL BE CUT.
Has Been Allowed TO Grow Seed For
Next Years Crop.

Next Years Crop.
Anybody who thinks hay cannot be rails
ed successfully in this latitude should only
take a look at the luxurious growth of
grass now in evidence in the city's parks,
squares and grass plats. Many people
have doubtless been of the opinion that all
the city's forces were too busy keeping
the city clean to pay any attention to the
grass. Others thought that perhaps the
city was economizing and raising it's own
hay. These surmises were incorrect.
A Morning News reporter, who called
on Chairman Davis of the street and lane
committee, was informed by the latter
that he was well aware of the hight of
the grass throughout the city, but that
the grass cutters had been given a rest
with specific purpose in view.
''The grass is now seeding" said AL
derman Davis, and if we cut it before
the seed are ripe we will have no grass
next year"
The reporter confessed that he had been
of the opinion that the grass grew all the
year around in Savannah or that at least
the roots remained alive
That is the case only with Bermuda
grass" replied the alderman, but most
of this grass you see in the squares is not
Bermuda, but grew from seed sown in
the spring by the park and tree commits
sion. To save the trouble and expense of
seeding again next year we have to give
il a chance to grow seed now. If you
win observe you will see that the grass
is now in the seed We will begin to cut
it in a few days. II will be left to dry on
the ground after cutting, and when it is
gathered up there will be enough seed
left for the next years crop"
There will be quite a good lot of hay
when the grass is cut and It will be saved
and used 10 feed the city stock.

THE WEATHER MoDER ATEs.
Climatic Novelties Noted by visitors
to the City.

The mercury came from its hiding place
yesterday and the atmosphere around the
city was much nearer its normal temper
ature than on the day previous.
The minimum temperature, which was
noted in the early part of the day, was 81
degrees. But later on it bobbed up 10 81
degrees, and then a great many people
began TO feel the return of their appettes
for cold drinks. the ices and sherbets.
While most all overcoats were laid aside,
yet the warmer weather was not suffi-
cient to warrant the return TO linen suits.
Yet there was one man noticed with his
linen suit and observing the fact, a
stranger, who had been in the city the
last three days, remarked that he was
checkmated. "An overcoat and winter
clothing one day" said he, land a linen
suit the following cay, is surely a china tic
novelty"
The report of the observer is for fair
and warmer weather for to-day.

But the Ship Agents Say They Have
All the Labor They Want.

All the Labor They Want.
Now that another of the efforts to bring
about a compromise with the ship agents
has failed, the striking longshoremen have
determined that they will not accept any
thing less than the "a and s. a day of their
original demand.
One of the officers of the union told a
Morning News reporter that such was the
conclusion reached at a meeting held yes
terday morning at SheftalPs hall. There
seems TO be some disappointment on ac-
count of the intercession of Mr.. S. Krous-
koff having failed to gain the compromise.
The ship agents are thoroughly salts
fed with the situation as il stands at
present. II is said more labor presented
itself during the day than they could
find employment for, and everything was
moving smoothly. They say they antici-
pate no further trouble in the matter.

Past weeks Proceedings.

Washington, May 20.-Another STIR
ring debate on Cuba has occurred in
the senate. 1t was of the give and take
order, with sharp parliamentary fenc-
ing. The main speeches of the day were
made by Senators Foraker of Ohio, Can
non of Utah, Lindsay of Kentucky and
Hoar Of Massachusetts.
1t was the occasion of the first speech
of any length made by Mr. Foraker
since he entered the senate, and in ad-
dition to this the Ohio senator is one of
the Cuban subcommittee of the COM
mittee on foreign relations. He spoke
in favor of a reference of the resolu-
tion to the committee, but on the gem
eral question declared his purpose of
supporting the resolution recognizing
Cuban belligerency when it should be
reported by the committee.
1t was developed in the course of
coloquy between Senators Foraker,
Morgan and Vest that the state depart
ment had withheld the names of United
States consuls reporting on the serious
condition of affairs in Cuba because it
might lead to their massacre. Mr.. Vest
declared that this presented the most
serious phase of the subject, as it was
time to protect our officials with war
ships if their personal safety was
threatened for making reports to their
government.
Washington, May 22.-The long and
exciting debate on the joint resolution
recognizing the existence of a state OF
war in Cuba and declaring that strict
neutrality shall be maintained by the
United States has passed the senate
by the decisive vote Of Al to IA. The
announcement Of the vote was received
with tumultuous applause, which drew
from Senator Hawley an emphatic pro-
test against mob demonstration
The house adopted without division
the resolution appropriating $4,000 for
the relief Of distressed American citi-
.zens in Cuba.
