The river and harbor committee of
Congress viii shortly come South on a.
visit of inspection to various southern
points desiring appropriations for river
and harbor improvements.
The committee leaves Washington Jan.
p en- route for Florida. 1t has accepted
an invitation from the citizens of Charles
ton to visit that city. The fact of the
committees Southern trip was brought to
the attention Of Mayor Meldrim yesterday
by Col. j. II. Estiil with the. suggestion
that an invitation be extended to the
committee to visit Savannah also. Mayor
Meldrim recognized at once the desira bill
~ of having the committee visit Savan-
nah. He will lay the matter before Coun-
ell tonight and resolution will be adopt
ed extending an invitation to the commit
tee in the most cordial terms
Mayor Meldrim said that he would have
telegraphed Col Lester az once, but he
thought an official invitation from Council
would carry more weight than one from
the Mayor alone. The fact that Col Les
ter is a veteran member of the river and
harbOr committee, and is in the best of
standing with his colleagues without re-
gard to party, will almost certainly as
sure the acceptance of the invitation.
ne committee VIII nave a good reason
for stopping at Savannah, in the fact that
a large amount of government money has
been expended here, and personal obser-
walton of the results of the work is the
best method of ascertaining whether or
not the money has been well expended
The visit of the committee win also afford
an opportunity Of explaining to its mem
bers the further needs of the work. and
showing why further appropriations are
needed for its continuance ana mainte-
nance.
1t might be well for the invitation of
Council to be backed up by invitations
from the Cotton Exchange and Board Of
Trade. As the committee must pass
through Savannah on its way TO Florida.
it is not likely that an urgent invitation
to spend a day or more here would lie
overlooked.
Ii goes without saying that in case the
committee accepts the invitation it Will
meet with a most hospitable reception in

matter of course and every effort will
be made to show that Savannah has made
the best use of the favors bestowed upon
her by the government.

MANY APPLY ron CHARITY.
Relief Association Has over 100 APP
plicants Already.


plicnnts Already.
There is something like one hundred ap-
pucations for aid on the books of the
Charitable Association already, and the
start made in every way is very encourage
ing TO the officers.
The systematic methods adopted by Re
lief Agent Wakelee arc such as to secure
the most equitable distribution of the char
liable fund and at the same time to guard
against mpostCrs.
AS is known the association determined
at the start TO pay out no money but TO
give clothing and groceries. This distribu-
lion is carried on in such a way that no
dealer can say the association is showing
favoriHsm. The applicant is given ticket
which calls for certain amount of grocer
les. This ticket is presented to any store
and the amount the card calls for is given
and at the end of each month, the cards
are redeemed by Mr.. WakelCe. The ticket
represents the stipulated amount in cash
and the method OF distributing the fund
saves the association from suffering be-
cause Of any supposed favoring Of one
store over another.
The ticket plan is also used by the
members IN directing applicants for ald
10 headquarters. Each member is given
a supply Of tickets and from the address
the applicant IL enabled TO find the head
quarters without trouble. and delay is
avoided to busy people. IL is thought
this plan will give entire satisfaction and
eventually win friends for the associa,
ton when its good results are more mani
fest.
Mr.. Wakelee cannot so TO every appli-
cants house, and the plan he intends to
ADOPT Is 20 get all possible informato
concerning the mendcant class and when
necessary, refer to il in determining what
action 20 take. To the professionals
nothing Will be given, but it is safe 70
say the deserving win receive donations.

CENTRAL BONDS DISTRIBUTED.

VI. G. and a. Security Holders at Last
Get Their Money.
A portion of the first mortgage bonds of
the Central Of Georgia Railway Company,
Middle Georgia and Atlantic division was
distributed yesterday among the stockhold-
ers of the Middle Georgia and Atlantic
Railroad Company. The company received
from the Central of Georgia, $500 goo in first
mortgage bonds, amounting to $1,000 per
mile, the Central agreeing to issue 81 COO
more per mile to be expended in better
ments on the property.
OF the $4,000 in bonds, $168000 went to
the bondholders of the Earonton Branch
Railroad to take up the bonds issued to the
stockholders in that railroad by the Middle
Georgia and Atlantic people. This left $751;
GOO, portion of which amount was used
TO pay off some Indebtedness leaving a
balance of about $270,000. From this last
amount the distribution was made yester-
day, the stockholders Of the Middle Geor-
gia and Atlantic or rather those who held
the certificates of Indebtedness amounting
to about $4,000 receiving $40 per cent in
Central Railroad bonds on their holdings
A small balance of the bonds has been re-
tanned in the treasury of the company to
meet other outstanding Obligations.
The distribution was highly gratifying to
the nOluSIS Of tue GA M4uule georgia and
Atlantic securities. They have been waiting
several years for their money, and anoth-
er delay was occasiOued by the matter
being taken into TIE courts by some of
the bondholders Of the Eatonton Branch
Railroad Company, who sought 10 restrain
the delivery of the bonds by the Central,
and to have 4 receiver for them appointed.
This attempt was defeated in the courts,
it havins been passed uuon by the Su-
nTaT1a Court and Thq bonds wore tl1rnad

KENO GAMBLER FINED $1,000.
Geo. f. King Puts Up the Penalty for
Running "A Game.

The second of those indicted in the Su-
perior Court for keeping a gaming house
appeared before Judge Falligant yester-
day. pleaded guilty and was sentenced to
pay a fine of $1,000 and costs or spend
twelve months in service for the county.
The defendant in this case was George
F. King. it being charged that he did
keep, maintain and carry on certain
scheme for the hazarding of money known
and called Keno" contrary TO the laws
of the state" etc. The fine was paid.
There were seven of these cases assign
ed on the docket yesterday but only one
was disposed Of The others were not
reached. All are charged with the same
offense, keeping a gaming house. 1t is
said all of these cases will positively be
disposed of during the present month.
An interesting comment was heard
among some of the sporting men -yester-
day. 1t was remarked by one of them
that it was dangerous to the profession
for a man to have to pay $1,000 as a fine
for running a little poker room, as there
was no telling what might be done to a
man who kept q keno establishment, dealt
faro and run a crap game all in the same
joint. The first one of those indicted who
was fined, it seems, keeps the small poker
room, but so far as has been indicated
nothing more direfull has befalIen or will
befall the man who keeps the more extern
sive layout. The law limits the penalty
to $1,000 and costs or twelve months or
both in the discretion of the court the
court having the power to impose both
sentences.

In I762 there were, strange as h seems. only six stagecoaches running in all England. and of course these were the only public vehicles for travellers. Even these were a novelty, and a per- son named John Crosset thought they were such dangerous innovation that he wrote a pamphlet against them. .sThese coaches. 1" he wrote, make gen. tlemon come to London upon every small occasion, which otherwise they would not do except upon urgent neces- sity. Nay, the eonvenieney of the pass age makes their wives come often up, who rather than come such long jour- neys on horseback would stay at home. Then when they come to town they must be in the wade. get fine clothes, go to plays and treats, and by these means get such a habit of idleness and love of pleasure that they are uneasy after. Even people who come to the city on steam cars are sometimes sim. ilarly affected by the visit, even unto this day. --Exehange

THE case of Mrs. Glaestone is most pathetic. She has been men, tally failing for some time, and does not realize that her husband is dead. She says that he is in the next room from that which she occupies in Ha1 warden Castle, and that he will come to her whenever she calls. Her moods are humored but it is be- lieved that the kind-faced old lady will sbefore long follow her distin- guished husband to last resting place in Westminster Abbey, where the great statesman before his death declined to be laid to rest, un- less it was expressly stipulated that his devoted wife should be placed beside him when claimed by death. -Fordyce Enterprise
