AERONAUT MAY HAVE
MADE LAST ASCENSION

G. Simmons, the young aeronaut
who had such thrilling escape at the
Watch Tower during the Woodmen
picnic, is lowering between life and
death at Sterling because of a sensa'
tional fall from his balloon at the fair
grounds last evening. Simmons had
been extensively advertised and his
! ascension in the balloon was one OF
the features of the closing day of the
races. 1t was shortly after o'clock
when the monster bag, with car and
parachute equipment attached, shot
| UP into the air in the presence OF
5. 600 people. A cheer followed the
INTREPID aeronaut, but died on the
ilips Of the spectators when with re-
sounding clap the big bag exploded
IThe balloon was 800 feet in the air
when this happened and it began to
descend rapidly.
Simmons, with rare presence OF
mind, desperately enceavored to cut
, the parachute away from the debtisi
} but though he succeeded, the urn'

POLICE STILL SUSPICIOUS.
Not Probable That Arrest VIII BE
Made in Water Works Robbery.


There were no new developments yester-
day in the robbery of the City Exchange,
and the burning of the special water in
spectors books, along with some minor
papers, on Tuesday night. The police.
and those who fully investigated the case,
hold to their first theory, but it is not
at all likely that an arrest will be made.
The officers say that they are unable to
gather any evidence that would fix the
guilt on any one, and their opinion is
based purely upon circumstances.
At their own request Inspectors Starr,
Mcbride and Mendel have asked Acting
Mayor Dixon for a public investigation
of the case, and this is scheduled for to-
day, If the witnesses confne themselves
to what they know the hearing will result
in nothing sensational, it is believed. The
idea that the destruction of the books
might have caused financial gain TO
some one is without foundation, and
whatever the motive, money was not
taken into consideration.

WILL BE CONSOLIDATED.
Additional stock for the s., #. and
w. Was Authorized.

AddttfOnnl STOCK Tor the - r. uhu
w. Was Authorized.
special meeting of the stockholders of
the Savannah, Florida and Western Rail
way Company was held yesterday at the
company's Office in this city for the pur-
pose of considering an increase in the
capital stock of the company, the proposed
increase to consist of an increase of 1885,
GIL shares of capital stock each of the
par value of 800. of which $4,000 shares
might be preferred stock without voting
power. and the remainder SO,671 shares
common stock, with fun voting power.
Col. J. H. Estill was called to the chair
and Mr.. w s. Clay acted as secretary.
A resolution was passed authorizing the
increase of stock proposed.
The additional stock thus provided for
will be used in the consolidation and
merger of the principal railroads of the
Plant System, into the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway Company. The
railroads which are to be united in one
corporation are the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway Company, Charles
ton and Savannah Railway Company,
Brunswick and Western Railroad Com
pany, Alabama Midland Railway Com
pany, Silver Springs, Ocala and Gulf
Railroad Company, Tampa and Thonoto-
sassa Railroad Company.
Another meeting will be held in this
city on July l. for the purpose of sub
uniting the matter to the stockholders
of the several corporations. There is, of
course no question that the plan will
be carried out. In fact the details are
all arranged, and all that is necessary
are the legal formalities.
When the annual meetings of the sew
eral lines comprised in the prospective
consolidation were held last January, the
plan for their amalgamation under the
charter of the Savannah, Florida and
Western was set afoot. The executive
officials took up the work as mapped out
by the directors, and on July ! the con-
solidation will be practically completed.
President r. G.. Erwin, when he was
last in Savannah, said that he. expected
the consolidation to be effected at about
that time.
