GEORGIA INCOME BONDS.
VIII There BE n Dividend on the
First Preferred Incomess


There has been good deal of specula-
ton in this market among those who are
interested in the first incomes Of the Cen
trail of Georgia Railway during the last
two or three weeks.
Many holders of the bonds have sold
them under the impression that the road
had decided not 10 pay a dividend this
year. Where they got that impression is
not generally known. It is founded prob
ably upon the belief that the road has de-
termined to put all of its surplus earn
ings in the extensive improvements which
it has been making not only in the Ocean
Steamship wharf, but also in its roadbcd
between Macon and Atlanta. These i'm
provements have been very extensive and
have greatly increased the value of its
property. They VIII enable it TO reduce
operating expenses.
The New York Commercial, in its issue
of Aug. II, in a leading article in its fnan-
cial column, discusses the subject at con-
siderable length. 1t says that although
the road has earned enough above it's flx-
ed charges to pay per cent. on the first
incomes, it will not pay more than 2}5
per cent, for the reason that it has spent
so much in making permanent improve
ments. The Commercial says: 1.-THE sub
ject seems TO be that, while a full per
cent has been earned upon the first pref
ercnce income bonds during the fiscal year
that has just ended, il has been consid-
eerd unwise to pay the fun amount and
that the holders will consequently have
to content themselves with the payment
of 21a per cent. This, however, is accom-,
panied by very gratifying accounts of the
progress tie road has made during the
last year or so and Of the prospects winch
open before Il for the current fiscal year

AT LAW OVER A TOMBSTONE.
The Marble Didn't Arrive in Time
and 1t Was Refused Later.

Ihe marble Didn't Arrive In Time
and 1t Was Refused Later.
The case of A. R. Main against Susan
L. Barlow was tried in the City Court yes
terday, but the jury did not reach a YER
dict. The action was brought to recover
$1S6 Of the defendant, whom, it is alleged,
refused to accept a tomb stone after it was
shipped to Savannah for Mrs Barlow
through Mr. Main, agent of the New Eng
land Granite and Stone Company.
Ole of the contentious of the defendant
was that the stone was to have come by
certain time, and as the company failed
to get ii here, there was no obligation TO
accept it. Mr.. W. B. Stubbs represented
the plaintiff, and, in a forcible argument
he urged that the delay caused on account
of one of the stone being broken, which
necessitated sending off for another, was
not such as to vitiate the contract.
The testimony of Mr. Main was to the
effect that every precaution was used. and
that the mishap was not from any care
represented by Judge A. II. MacDonen.
The case went to the jury, and a verdict
wil probably be rendered to-day

HeiIegenberg's Death as Much of a
Mystery as at First.
The death of August II. Hefegenberg
continued to be the topic of conversation
with many people yesterday, all of whom
had their own ideas about the way he met
his death. A majority of those who inter
ested themselves in the case, believe he
was killed by somebody
Nothing has been done in the direction Of
throwing any light on the case. The police
say il was an accident and, of course. are
not looking for murderer. The Germans
have not yet given up the idea of going to
the bottom of the affair, finding out who
the negro on the corner was, IL possible
and getting enough light to at least con-
clude whether 1t was an accident or muir
der.
There is some talk of bringing a Pink
erton to Savannah to work on the case
The local detective force would likely do
better work than strangers, and besides,
the Pinkertons require lucrative advances,
which II might not be desired to make IN
less there was a clue to follow up.

Taste in Dressing.

"No woman is ugly when she is
dressed Only Lord Chesterfield
could have been guilty OF such gall
liant perversion of the truth.
If he used the word dressed adj
yisedly aud meant clothed with due
regard to the selection of becoming
colors aud to the cut and style Of the
gown to suit the individuality of the
wearer he was undoubtedly right--no
woman is ugly who is artistically and
becomingly dressed. But so few
women seem to know what colors will
enhance or destroy their good looks,
what style OF gown will conceal their
defects and heighten their charms and
what way of arranging their hair will
improve their faces that dress oft
times, instead of adding beauty to
the appearance, has the contrary ef-
feet.
People who are ford must be care
full what reds they use even more
than pale people. A deep blue red,
that red suggested in a plum or the
velvet leaf of red pansy that has
caught shade from the petals of its
near neighbor-the dark plue pansy-
is the color for ford complications
Grown people should be careful not to
wear bright red. AS modjeska OBJ
serves; LAS one grows older red is
more becoming above the face than
below it." Dark cardinal velvet
above gray hair and dark eyes has a
most charming effect.
PINK is most becoming for fair
young people. Rose color, combined
with black, white or gray, can he

Spain's Losing Game.

Macauley drew this picture Of the
power of Spain 800 years age:
The empire of Philip II was un-
doubtedly one of the most powerful
and splendid that ever existed in the
world. 1t is no exaggeration to say
that during several years his power
over Europe was greater than even
that of Napoleon. In America his
dominions extended on both sides of
the equator into the temperate zone.
There is reason to believe that his an
nual revenues amounted, in the
season of his greatest power, to
sum ten times as large as that which
England yielded to Elizabeth. He
had standing army of so, 900 troops
when England did not have single
battalion in constant pay. He held,
what no other prince in modern times
has held, the dominion both of the
land and the sea. During the great
er part of his reign he was supreme
on both elements. His soldiers
marched up to the capital Of France;
his ships menaced the shores of Eng
land. Spain had what Napoleon de-
sired in vain-ships, colonies and
commerce.
She long mononolized the trade of
America and Of the Indian ocean. All
the gold of the west and all the spices
of the east were received and distrib-
uted by her. Even after the defeat Of
the armada English statesmen con-
tinued to look with great dread on
the maritime power of Philip. X

A Famous Tree Almost Gone.

"The famous tree under which Will
liam Penn, the great Quaker, made
his treaty with the Indians over two
centuries ago, was literally ruined by
the relic hunters and vandals," said
J. F. Mcbride, of Philadelphia, who
was attending the pattern makers
convention at the Liudell
"All that remains of the treaty oak
now is a SCARED stump a few feet
high, and, it is inclosed in a strong
iron picket fence to keep the vandals
away. This stump is located in Penn
Park. Relic hunters for years clipped
off the bark of the tree, and even cut
into the trunk and carried away
pieces of the wood, and even whole
limbs were carried away. Finally,
the brave oak could not withstand
these ignoble attacks, and it died.
At last the authorities came to their
senses, when it was too late, and or
dered strong fence put around the
stump of the tree. st. Louis Globe
