MEANS MUCH FOR SAVANNAH.
The Chief south Atlantic outlet for
the Big system.

There were all sorts of rumors during
the day as to the purchase of the Sea-
hoard by the Rock Island and its eff
feet on Savannah. No one, of course.
had any definite knowledge of the
situation, and everything was specula-
ton and conjecture.
When it became definitely known
last night that the Rock Island In
terests were in control. the general
opinion was that Savannah will nat
urally be the chief South Atlantic out
let of the big system. Instead of the
line between Savannah and BirTning-
ham, the present Southern terminus
of the Frisco line which is a part of
the Rock Island SYSTEM being via
Montgomery it will naturally be via
Macon or Atlanta. The Seaboard now
owns the East and West road between
Gainesville, Ga, and Pell City, Ala.
The connection between Pell City and
Birmingham, a distance of about thir-
ty-five miles, is about completed. The
connection between Atlanta and the
East and West road at Rockmart, mid
way between CartersVllIe ana Gear
town is we'll under way, and win be
part of the line which viii be opened
between Atlanta and Birmingham Jan.
/. This will give the Seaboard a
through line between Birmingham and
Norfolk and Birmingham and Sa-
vannah via Hamlet. Although
Hamlet is considerably north of

ham and Savannah is forty-one miles
shorter than between Birmingham and

FOR BAPTIST SCHOOL

Waycross, Ca, Aug. 12.-Waycross
was this afternoon selected as the To-
cation for the Baptist preparatory
school which is to be constructed by
five South Georgia Baptist associa-
tons.
The school committee, representing
the Piedmont, Consolation, New sun
bury, bonneville and Smyrna associa-
tons, met in the Chamber of Com
merce rooms this afternoon and heard
propositions from Liberty City Jesup
and Waycross, and finally by an unan-
imous vote, the offer made by Way
cross citizens was accepted.
This city offered to donate a site of
ten acres on Cherokee Heights in the
eastern part of the city and 1880 in
cash. The committee was also offered
the free use of the Bridges High
School building, until such time as the
regular school building is constructed.
The counties covered by the associa-
tons and who are interested in the
schools are Chatham, Bryan, Liberty.

BATTLESHIP DAMAGED
BY STRIKING ROCKS.
Forced to Return to HnrbOr and
May Have to he DOcked.

Bar Harbor. Me-, Aug. 12.-while
leaving the harbor during thick fog
about noon to-day, in company with
other vessels of the North Atlantic
Squadron, the battleship Massachu-
sets sustained considerable damage
by striking on a ledge of rocks off the
western end of Egg Rock.
The big vessel slipped over the rocks
into deep water, but the two forward
bulkheads soon filled and it was subse-
quently found that several plates for
ward had been cracked. The Massa-
chusetts was headed back into the
harbor with considerable difficulty, ac-
companied by her sister vessel, the In
diana, and the gunboat Scorpion.
She will remain here until Capt.
Manning, her commander, receives or
ders from Washington, when 1t is ex-
pected that she will proceed to Brook
Ign to be dry locked.
The squadron had no sooner started
than a dense fog, which had been
hanging off shore all the morning,

was impossible to see more than fifty
yards. 1t is believed that the acct
dent was due to a characterization of
the Massachusetts position on the part
of the navigating officer.
When the big battleship struck she
was going at the rate of about nine
and a half knots, and although she
was drawing twenty-six feet of water
and there was less than twenty-five
feet on the ledge her progress was but
little retarded and she at once passed
over into deeper water. Her officers
stated tonight that if she had been
fifty feet to the westward she would
have cleared the ledge.
The collision siren was Immediately
sounded and the Massachusetts bulk
head doors closed tight. The Indiana
and SCORPION, which We're Immediate
ly behind her, ran alongside to render
assistance. The vessel then returned
to harbor.

STOCK RISES BY BOUNDS.

Baltimore, Aug. 12-Not since the
boom of several years ago have local
financial circles been so much excited
as they were to-day over the news
of a deal between the Rock Island
Railroad interests and the Seaboard
Air Line Railway.
There was a rush to buy stocks and
bonds of the Seaboard Air Line Rail-
way. A flood of rumors was current
in financial circles before the open
ing of the Stock Exchange, and when
the hour for trading came the ex-
element was intense.
Brokers crowded up to the desk of
the chairman, and at the stroke of the
bell the first bid was for 1000 shares
of the common stock at 1914. This
stock closed yesterday at 1874. The
first sale to-day was at 20, and 1t
quickly advanced to 22% on dealings
covering over 5000 shares. The pre-
ferred stock also jumped at the open
ing. 1t closed yesterday at 1874, and
the first sale to-day was at 3412. 1t
then advanced to 36A. The bonds OF
the company also made advances, ana
although they closed at rs yesterday,
they sold quickly up to so to-day, with
higher quotations later.

REVENUE CUTTER
SKATERS A SMACK.
Opened Fire on Her Because on
Wrong Side of Lake.

Wrong Side of Lake.
Erie, Pa, Aug. 1.-THE Silver Spray,
fishing boat owned here came into
port this afternoon in badly shat
tered condition, due to an encounter
in mid-lake about noon with the Cana
dian revenue cutter Petrol.
The Canadian authorities have had
trouble with American fishermen for
years, who were poaching on their side
of the lake and the Petrol is kept con-
stantly on the lookout for them.
About noon she came upon the Silver
Spray on the Canadian side of the lake
and at once ordered Capt. Chris Chau
to stop. Capt Chau started ahead at
full speed. The captain of the Petrol
when he saw that the Silver Spray
was trying to get away, opened fire
with all the guns he had on board, and
before he ceased firing some twenty
shots had struck her.
One passed through the smoke stack
into the pilot house In which Chau
stood at the wheel, and two more
struck the pilot house, one of which
came within few inches of him, scat
tering a myriad of splinters around his
head.
The chase was kept up for some little
time before Capt. Chau got across the
dividing line and the Petrol gave up
the pursuit
Capt. Chau will report the affair to
the State Department at Washington
as he says he was only looking for
some of his nets which had drifted
from this side toward the Canadian
shore.

INEBRIATE ASYLUM
ADVOCATED BY PICQUET.
League of Municipalities in Session
in Macon.

in Macon.
Macon, Aug. 12.-The feature Of the
meeting of the League of Municipali-
ties to-day was a paper read by Re-
corder Chas. A. Picquet of Augusta, in
which he advocated giving to recorders
power to punish for carrying concealed
weapons. He pointed out great evils
in allowing criminal classes to carry
arms and thought the surest way to
prevent it, is to deal quick justice.
He advocated an inebriate asylum,
saying drunkenness is a disease and
drunkards should not be confined with
hardened criminals when quarantined
away from society. He showed that
rs per cent. of Georgia's criminals are
negroes and the others are uneducated
whites who run with negroes.
He said that when one considers the
fact that negroes have been removed
from serfdom only thirty-seven years,
it is not surprising that they constitute
the majority of criminals.
DR.. r. B. Barron, chairman of the
Bibb County Board of Health, read a
paper showing the great need of a
state board of health. These subjects
will be discussed by meeting to-mor-
row.
The attendance is large and the
meetings are most interesting.

Commended Work of Lobby In
vestiRatiOn Committee.
Atlanta, Aug. 12-An interesting fea-
ture of the closing session of the Sem
ate was the unanimous adoption of
resolutions heartily indorsing the work
of the Lobby Investigation Commit
tee and it's report commencing the
latter being prompted by the Mamie
DeCris case, and the recent struggle
over the convict question.
The Senate passed the State Board
of Health bill practically as passed by
the House, with the exception that it
increased the membership of the board
from seven to eleven, making one from
each congressional district. The board
is to elect a secretary from outside at
a salary of $1,000 a year. The other
provisions of the bill have already been
given.
The members of the entire commit
tee appointed under the resolution of
Mr.. Hall of Bibb to examine into all the
departments of the state and report at
the next session are Senators Christie,
Comas and Duncan, Messrs Hayes of
Macon, Mulherin of Richmond and Hall
of Bib. This resolution was the only
feature over which the two houses had
a dispute.
The Senate passed the bill by Mr..
Adams of Putnam, making it a misde-
meanor for any person to obtain adj
vances on a contract to perform serv-
ices with intent to defraud. Other
House bills passed by the Senate, which
go to the Governor, are as follows:
To appropriate $500 to the Soldiers
Home; $4,000 to the State Board OF
Health, and $500 to pay arbitrator
in franchise cases.
To make Confederate veterans, as
we'll as other persons of military ex-
perience, eligible to appointment as adj
jutant general, provided they stand an
examination.
To create a Confederate memorial
board to take charge of the Confeder-
ate cemeteries of Georgia.
To appropriate $4,000 to complete the
Winnie Davis Memorial at Athens.
This is Mr.. Stovalls bill
By Messrs. Cam. Harden and Sto-
vall-To authorize municipal authori-
ties to punish for selling liquor on
Sundays.
To prohibit hogs from running at
large in counties not operating under
the stock law.
President Howell appointed Senators
Perry and Matthews on the commit
tee to investigate the Torrens land
system, and Senators McMichael, Led
ford, Park and Middlebrooks to visit
the State University.
The usual resolutions of thanks
were adopted. Many local House bills
were passed during the day, the only
one from Chatham county being that
to enlarge the powers of Police Court,
by Mr.. Cam.

Frisco Outlets at Many Import
AMI Ports.

was a rumor yesterday based upon. a
telegram from New York that the Sea-
board through the Rock Island control
had also secured the Macon and Bir-
mingham now completed and in opera
ton between Macon and LAGRANGE, and
would complete it to some point on the
East and West line, probably Pell City,
lessening the distance between Savan-
nah and Birmingham by the present
shortest route, between fifty and sew
enty-f1ve miles. This would secure al
most straight line between Savan-
nah and the present terminus of the
Frisco line.
Big Thing for Savannah.
A prominent business man, who has
made a study of the railroad situation,
said that the Rock Island control can
not be otherwise than a big thing for
Savannah. 1t will benefit all of the
South Atlantic ports reached by the
Seaboard, Norfolk, Wilmington. Sa-
vannah, Fernandina and the Gulf
ports. While the volume of business
amount will be so great that every
port will feel it's influence. 1t will
mean more steamship lines from Sa-
Vannah and great increase in the
business of the port.
VIII Help Gulf Ports.
With the building of the Isthman
canal the Gulf ports, Tampa and Cedar
Keys and the new terminus of the
Seaboard at Boca Grande, said to be
the finest natural port on the Gull
coast, will get the benefit of the new
control Maj. r. A. Blandford returned
yesterday from Boca Grande. where
he has been making a survey, and
said that the harbor has almost I'M
equalled advantages. 1t is the South
Atlantic ports though that will get the
greater benefit.
There is naturally much regret in
Savannah that Mr.. w. w. Mackall is
supplanted in the board of directors.
