able attention. and has been greatly
strengthened. The st. Augustine creek
bridge has been put in thorough condition.

cupy the same site and will be construct
ed on practically the same plan as it's
storm-demolished predecessor. The most
material difference will be in the roof,
which will be a different style from that

the track.
The TYbee road was under Mr. McDon-
ough's management for seven months.

at his request the Central extended it
until March 81. Mr.. McDonough wanted
to extend the lease for the summer sea-
son, and made APPLICATION to the executive
board of the Central. That board how
ever, at it's last meeting in Washington
did not consider the offer sufficiently lib
eral and decided to resume the road 8
operation on the expiration Of the lease.

TO GIVE UP IT'S BUILDING.
President Purses Statement to the
Ronrd of Trnhe


The announcement by President Purse,
at yesterdays meeting of the board of
trade, that steps were being taken looking
to the closing up of the building account
of the board by parting with the building
upon the most favorable terms to be Sc
cured from it's creditors, was no surprise
to the members, although it probably is
to the general public.
The finance committee of the board of
trade has had the matter under consider
alton for some time, and it -s understood
the conclusion has been reached that no
other course was left but to give up the
building. The board has been running be-
hind with it's interest for several years.
and with no prospect of being able to
meet it's obligations to the Penn Mutual
Insurance Company.
The building was purchased from the
former owner, Mrs. w. p. NAPLES, in the
fall of 1891, the purchase price being $685.
600 $4,000 was borrowed from the Penn
Mutual and later $1,000 from the same COM
pany, for the purpose of making improve
ments, a first mortgage for $4,000 on the
property being given the company. A sec
ond mortgage of $4,000 was issued, the
money being furnished by members of
the board.
The Penn Mutual. as was stated by
Capt. Purse in his report, has been very
indulgent, and has never made any de-
mand upon the board for the amounts due.
Mr.. Julian Schley, local representative
of the Penn Mutual, said yesterday that
the company had never made any demand
for a settlement upon the board and there
was no reason why the board should be
in any haste to turn itself out of house
and home.
The Penn Mutual is satisfied with the
security which it holds" said Mr.. Schley
1.-THE two lots upon which the building
stands are easily worth $4,000 and the
building cost at least $4,000, not taking
into account the improvements which
have been made upon 1t by the board of
trade. The property is worth every
cont of 100000. The Indebtedness of the
board cannot be settled simply by trans
ferrng the building to the company, as
some people seem to think. The mortgage
must be foreclosed and the building adver-
tised for sale for the benefit of all the
creditors concerned. The Penn Mutual
win see to it that it does not bring less
than $4,000 and the accrued interest"

THE ALTAnrAHA sUBsIDING.
The r. C. and u. Line Open aUd
Trains Running Regularly.

The r. C. and u. Line Open aud
Trains Rurfning Regularly.
The Florida Central and Peninsular has
resumed the opera ton of it's trains be-
tween Jacksonville and Savannah, over
its own line. For two days its trains were
run over the Plant system, it's own tracks
over the Altamaha being regarded as dan
gerous with the river in its swollen con-
dition.
The first train was run yesterday morn
ing This was passenger train No. 49,
which leaves Jacksonville at $50 o'clock
When the train reached Everett City
which Is just beyond the Altamaha, 1t
was on time but il was delayed in making
the crossing The running necessarily
had to be very slow, as the water was
still very high 1t had receded from the
tracks, however. and the rails were every
where above water About two hours
was lost by the slow passage over the
bridge and its approaches.
The utmost care was exercised as it
was the first passenger train to cross since
the river got on it's big boom. portion
of the lost time was made up in the run
from the river to Savannah and the train
arrived here only one hour and forty min
utes late.
The second passenger train to cross was
No 80, which arrived here thirty-five min
utes late. The rest of the trains that
went through We're practically on time,
as the bridge was found to be perfectly
safe and the water was falling rapidly
The Southern has also got its track be-
tween Jesup and Brunswick in repair, and
has resumed the running of its trains.
While this section of its line was impassa-
BILE, trains were run from Jesup down to
Waycross and thence to Brunswick over
the Plant system.

of the Tall Poles.
The new telephone poles the Bell Tele-
phone Company is putting up in the bus
mess sections of the city are attracting
considerable attention, and many wonder
what the peculiar looking platforms that
surmount them are for.
The crows nest, as they look to be, are
for the workmen to stand on in arranging
the apparatus under the new system to be
put In, and in keeping it in order. The
platforms are permanent, and are solid
place always ready for the linemen. When
the conduit connections have been made
the distributing poles will be even more
peculiar in appearance. one hundred
wires will radate from an iron ring that
may be seen at their tops, and they will
suggest the thought of an umbrella rod
with its bare ribs stricking out This iron
ring projects from the circumference of
the pole, and is insulated by a covering of
vulcanized rubber, that serves as one addi-
tional insulation for the already insulated
wires that will run from the poles to the
telephones.
The underground cable viii run to the
bole, and will be carried up to the TOP. For
a distance Of twenty feet the cable will
be iron-protected to guard against its cut
ting. The cable goes into a cable box
and is there distributed into its individ-
ual wires, which run up the pole a foot
or so further and are there wrapped around
the ring ana then sent TO the phones.
The cable box and the ring are both IN
easy reach of workman standing In the

The Robbers Entered His Room
While He Was Asleep.
W. o. Flood and Sam Mcintyre, young
white men, were arrested yesterday by
the detectives on the charge of larceny
from the house.
Flood and Mcintyre are said to have en-
tered the room of r. r. Rockhill. a mes
senger of the Southern Express Company
in the Florida House on Broughton street
near the corner of Drayton street, while
the messenger was asleep and to have
gone through his clothing. The thieves Sc
cured $50 in money and several articles
of clothing. What Mr.. Rockhill cared for
more than anything else was the loss of
his keys, among the number being the
keys to the express company's chest and
money box used in transporting valua-
bles.
The robbery was committed at o'clock
and the detectives were notified at once
Mcintyre and Flood had been seen about
the place and were suspected. The de-
tectives found them IN front OF the Cen
trail railroad depot, at West Broad and
Liberty streets. When the thieves saw
the detectives they took to their heels. but
were overhauled after chase of about
a block.
Mr.. Rockhnrs keys were found on them
and other articles stolen from the ROOM
thus furnishing conclusive evidence of
their guilt Both Flood and Mcintyre are
hard characters. Flood recently compile
ted a five years sentence in the peuiten-
tiary for robbng countryman McIn-
tyre was before the recorder yesterday
morning on the charge of vagrancy, and
was released on condition that he leave
town at once. Both are Savannah boys.

TALKING TOLL ROADS.
County Policy to Look in the Matter
nf nnnnir,rr NJ, "a 4I,o EBrhIln

County Policy to Look I'm the Matter
of Opening Them to the Public.
There is no doubt that public sentiment
in the matter Of doing away with toll
roads is increasing, and 1t appears to be
the policy of the county commissioners
also to get hold of these roads in due
course of time and open them up to the
public.
Chairman J. j. Dale of the county COM
missioners was asked about the matter
yesterday, and expressed it as his opinion
that all of the toll roads in the county
would be public roads in less than five
years. Public policy was tending that
way, he said, and he intimated that ar
rangements to this end might be made in
the proper course of time.
The commissioners at their regular
meeting this month, will probably make
arrangements for a meeting with Mr. ].
f. Minis, representing the Skidaway Shell
Road Company, for either a public or a
private conference with him. with regard
to that property. The owners of the road
realize that there is a sentiment tending
in the direction of making public roads of
these properties, and while they have been
receiving fair dividends from their prop
erty they are not averse to selling it at
a reasonable price. AS was stated Mr..
D. B. Lester who first offered the White
Bluff shell road to the county for $17, 500,
recently offered 1t to the commissioners
for $4,000 This proposition is now with
the board, but nothing has ever been done
with regard to it.

team No. 2, captained by Vice President
OFT of the Forest City Gun Club will be
shot this afternoon. The shooting will
begin promptly at $3.50 O'Clock at the clubs
grounds.
A generous rivalry between the two
teams makes the contests warm and lends
great interest to them. The members are
divided into the two teams in order to get
them interested in the work to a greater
degree than this mere practice, without
the competitive features, could possibly
do.
The first match took place last Thurs
day afternoon, and resulted in victory
for the team under Capt Oft by a score
of 1856 to 1874 President Kieffer saws his
team will redeem itself to-day, and viii
do up No by at least twenty targets
The leader Of that team, however, does
not see the point, and says that after this
afternoon his team win be entitled to be
known, as the first team, bv
Victories over it, relegated the team that
at present bears the distinction of prece-
donce. TO the second place. He SAYS his
men were Handicapped in the first match.
and that they will this afternoon be able
10 run farther ahead than before.
The contesting teams viii be composed
OF eight or more men, twenty-five far-
gets being shot by each. The members
