occasion to relieve his companion of a sill

not cover up his tracks with sufficient
care, the watch was traced to his posses

feeble denial of his guilt, but the evidence
was too clear to permit it to avail and
Judge Norwood sent him to the gang for
a year.
An old negro, rejoicing In the name of
jim Jones, appeared in court charged with
Stealing a chicken The evidence against
Jones was not very convincing and when
he was placed on the stand to testify in

TOWNSVILLE CELEBRATED.

in the Public Park-Deeds From
ThOmasVilIe Delivered to the
Roads officials Speeches ana

Occasion.
Thomasvile. Ga, July 2O.-Thomasville
nobly acquitted herself to-day by hand
someiy entertaining an immense crowd
who assembled here to celebrate the com
pletion of the Triton, Thomasville and
Gulf Railroad
The incoming trains last night brought
in hundreds OF visitors and the Ruskin
and Valdosta bands. The trains this
morning came in loaded beyond their seat
ing capacity.
AT dawn this morning Capt. Charlie
Stewards artillery announced in booming
terms that this would be a red letter day
in the history of Thomasville. At 10
o'clock a. m. the bands marched to well
come the first train that arrived on the
Thoma sville, Triton and Gulf Railroad. In
a few moments after the crowd assembled
at the depot the first train. loaded 10 its
full capacity, came rolling in and was re-
ceived by the shouts of the people, the
booming of Stewards artillery and the mu-
sic of the bands. The second section came
in later.
The multitude was then invited out in
the beautiful park to one of the most
bountifui and elegant dinners, perhaps
ever spread in the state Many of the
Oldest citizens expressed themselves as
never having seen such an excellent din-
ner spread before the public.
Just after dinner Col. j. H. Morrel
master of ceremonies, mounted the table
and introduced Mayor H. w. Hopkins of
Thoma vile, who made the speech of well
come and publicly delivered the deeds
from Townsville to the Triton, Thomas
Vile and Gulf Railroad to Col. Morreu
who responded in behalf of the road
Judge ]. A Wilkes of Moultrie was then
introduced, and responded to Judge Hop

among them a floral parade and a game
of baseball between Triton and Thomas
vile, which resulted In a victory for the
former by a score of II to 6.

A Famous Old Road.

Beaufort, S. c., July 20-The county
Changing is engaged in Smelling the old
Port Royal ferry road. The road connects
Beaufort with Port Royal ferry, where
connection is had with the main land. In
ante-bellum days there was possibly not
a more. beautiful highway in all the coun-
try In those times it was a shell road
twelve miles in length, overached through
out its entire course with magnificent oaks
literally grand avenue. During the
Civil War a portion of ShermaR's army
passed over it with their heavy army wag-
ons, utterly destroying it. Scarcely an oak
tree was left standing. While its former
beauty can never be restored, the present
heavy sand road will be replaced by shell
and communication by vehicles, with the
main greatly improved.

IN THE RAILROAD WORLD.
The Plant System Vice Presidency
Is still in Doubt

Rumor continues 10 furnish the only
foundation for speculation as to the vice
president of the Plant System of Rail
ways. No announcement of the choice of
the directors of the system has been made
and the most recent Developments. instead
OF calculating the situation. have rather
served to encrust it with another layer of
doubt.
Yesterday Mr.. Cecil Gabbett, superin-
tendent of the fourth division of the Sea-
board Air Line, whose name the omnipres-
ent rumor had connected with the Vice
presidency of the Plant System. returned
to the city from Portsmouth, the head
quarters of the Seaboard. Other than to
deny the rumor that he had already re-
signed from the Seaboard Mr.. Gabbett did
not care TO enter into lengthy explana-
tons.
a fact that may be significant in con-
necton with the situation is that Mr. w
W. Mackall of local counsel for the Sea-
board Air Line and one of the directors.
left yesterday for Portsmouth 1t may
be that while Mr.. Gabbett has not vet re-
signed, he has notified the principal Off
GERS of the system that it is his intention,
and that Mr.. Mackalrs visit is for the
purpose of conference with the heads of
the operating departments of the system
as 70 the selection of his successor. OF
course this is mere surmise and unsup-
ported by anything more than possibility.
Mr.. W. ]. Brown, the new agent Of the
Southern Express Company az Savannah,
who reached the city on Thursday, spent
yesterday at the companys office, fami-
iarizing himself with the MANNER in
which the office business is conducted. On
Aug. l the present agent, Mr.. c. L.
Spence, will retire, and Mr.. Brown viii
assume charge
The new agent is an old express man,
and has been connected with the Southern
for number of years. Up to this time
he has been in charge of the company )
lines from Birminham to New Orleans,
with headquarters at Mobile. He is a
man of ability and attractive personality,
and his conduct of the companys extern
slve business here bids fair 20 command
the approval both of the company's pa
irons and his superior officers.
Mr. Spence will become assistant to the
superintendent of the western division of
the Southern Express Company, after he
relinquiShes charge of the Office here or
Aug. l. His duties will consist of the
direction of the company's lines between
Atlanta, Lithia Springs, Birmingham and
Admission, Ala, and Columbus and Green
vile, Miss. He will have charge also OF
the line from Birmingham to Shemeld
Ala. His headquarters will be at Birm-
ingham.
The severance of Mr.. Spences connec-
ton with the Savannah office is deter
mined for the most part by the health OF
Mrs. Spence, to whom this climate did not
prove congenial. He leaves Savannah, he
stated yesterday, with the pleasantes,
thoughts of the people and the city itself
His associations here have been altogeth-
er to his liking, and 1t is matter oil
regret to him that they are to be termi.
mated by his removal to another field OF
duty.
Mr.. D. E. Williams Jr., commercial
agent of the Southern with headquarters
in Jacksonville, was in the city yester-
day.

CITY BREVITIES.

Two prominent Bay street merchants
yesterday engaged in a fisticuff near the
corner of Bay and Montgomery streets
The scrap was of short duration, however;
so short, in fact, that no damage was done
on either side. No arrests were made.
A young bicyclist was knocked from his
wheel yesterday afternoon at Bull and
Liberty streets by buggy, in which were
two ladies' The boy was not hurt, and
though badly frightened, his chief con-
Germ seemed to be for his wheel. The ac-
cident was brought about by the youngster
riding a wheel that was too large for him
and which he in consequence was unable
TO manage properly.

ed in yesterdays Morning News The
