RAILROAD MEN SKEPTICAL.
In Talked of Deal with Rock Island,
Frisco and Central.

There is much interest in railroad
circles over the deal rumored to have
been engineered by ]. Pierpont Nor
gan, and which is expected to involve
the Rock Island, the Frisco System,
the Southern and the Central of Geor-
gia. One rumor is to the effect that the
Morgan interests will give over their
control of the Central of Georgia to
the Rock Island. while another is that
merger will be made of the Rock
Island, Frisco, Southern and Santa
Fe.
Railroad men in Savannah said yes
terday that any conjecture or state
ment coming from a source other than
the Morgan interests themselves could
be nothing other than a guess. The
Central is a valuable property and
undoubtedly would prove an excellent
acquisition to any of the systems sup
posed to be in the deal, but what will
be done, If anything can only be
known when the controlling interests
see fit to make it public.
Should the deal be made. said one
authority, a logical division of the
properties would be to give the Gem
trail control of that part of the Frisco
system from Birmingham to Memphis,
then operate the enlarged Central and
the remaining properties separately.
President John NJ. Egan of the Central
says he knows nothing of the deal
other than what he has seen in the pa
Ders.

SAVANNAH MAGAZINE TO BE
ISSUED THIS MONTH.

The Savannah Magazine is an
nounced to make it's appearance March
Is. Its editor, Mr.. George Britten and
its publisher Mr.. Cornelius Britten,
have each had wide experience in
newspaper work. They believe there
is an ample field here for a literary pa
per of the character which they pro-
pose to publish 1t is Mr.. Britten's
purpose, he says, to encourage new
writeres of Southern humor, romance,
and poetry. Of course the standard of
the magazine is to be of the highest,
and though Southern writers will be
given the preference, it win not be
done at a sacrifice OF the literary ex-
cellence of the magazine.
We recognize the fact that we will
have to work very hard and spend no
little amount of money to make the
publication a success. but we are pre-
pared to do both, and all we ask is
that the community and the public
generally give us their support as far
as our efforts are worthy of patron
age. We want to be the first to ex-
plore with success a. field that we be-
lieve is rich in the pearls of literature,
and we have every reason to believe
that such success will come to us. We
do not come nto.the community mex
perienced, but have had the benefit of
training on the leading magazines Of
the country. The Savannah Magazine
will be a source of pride to Savannah
ians, Georgians and the whole country
generally. Manuscripts have already
begun to come in and they are, in our
opinion, indicative of the many good
things that we will be enabled to give
our readers in the early future"

AGAINST RAILROAD TRACKS.
Council Will Nj Make Bay Street "A
Shipping Yard.

There appears to be no sentiment
among the memkrs of City Council in
favor of placing abroad tracks on Bay
street. The aldermen who were spoken
to on the subjet yesterday expressed
themselves as bang opposed to the
plan.
IF I thought here was any chance
of making Ba. street a shipping
yard said member OF Council, 4
would oppose tie building of a new
city hall. The ppple have some rights
in the matter, add they can rest as
sured that the resent administration
will never agree % turn the street over
to the railroada We have already
given this subjec no little thought and
it is practically settled that Council
will not act favrably upon the petit
ton that is nowin circulation. In my
opinion. and in tie opinion of the menu
bers of the boaai with whom 1 have
talked. such a move would hurt, rather
than help. Bay treet."
There is retty general belief
among business men, however, that
the only way o keep the wholesale
business on Bay street is to allow rail-
road tracks on he street 1t has been
stated that IL rilroad tracks had been
allowed there considerable valuable
property that is now vacant would be
occupied. One business man said he
could see no valid objection on the part
of the Council to granting the use of
the street for railway tracks. the street
is principally used now for street Ia:l-
way purposes and comm srclal travel.

TALLULAH FAVORED BY
SAVANNAH BARRISTERS
As Place For Annual Meeting of
Georgia State Bar Association.

As Place For Annual Meeting of
Georgia State Bar Association.
The announcement that the annual
meeting of the Georgia State Bar As
ISOLATION would be held this year at
Tallulah Falls met the approval of the
members of the Savannah bar who
are used to attending the annual SEES
sions. The matter came in for a share
Of discussion yesterday, and the gem
orally expressed opinion was to the
effect that of the four places which
were most prominently spoken of for
the meeting, Atlanta, Warm Springs,
Cumberland and Tallulah, the one
chosen Offered most inducements, es-
pecially to the Savannah members of
the association.
AT the season of the year that the
meeting is held, July "a, the noun
tains are especially inviting. The
meeting was held last year at Warm
Springs. There is not enough free
dom and diversion offered in Atlanta,
at this particular season, they say, and
Cumberland, which many of the local
bar favored, besides being inconveni-
entity located does not offer the change
which the mountain air will afford the
tired barrister.
By having the meeting at Tallulah
Falls it is possible to bring the men,
bers of the Legislature up for a days
stay, thus adding very much to the
pleasures of the meeting, The MEM
bers of the local bar are anxious TO
hear Judge Alton B. Parker, chief JUS
tice of the New York Circuit Court of
Appeals, speak, he having been inYit-
ed to deliver an address to the bar
associate While the programme for
the meeting has not yet been deter
mined, it is expected that the session
will be as those have been in the past,
highly enjoyable and most beneficial.

ROBBED GROCERY STORE.
Thief Got Several Hundred Pennies,
and Tobacco.


For burglarizing the store of the Nor
ton Grocery Company, No. 426 Barnard
street, early yesterday morning, Arthur
Mitchell and Mathew Davis, both color
ed, are prisoners at the police station
house.
The negroes were arrested by Detec-
tives Murphy and Bostick, and most
of the stolen property was recovered.
Mitchell admits his guilt, but contends
that Davis is innocent. He says that
he broke window in the grocery and
took the large quantity of goods that
were afterwards reported at police
headquarters as being lost.
More than twenty pounds of tobacco
were taken away and hidden in the
neighborhood, and it was when the lads
went for the plumber that they were
arrested by the plain clothes men.
Mitchell declares that Davis did not
know the stuff was stolen. Among 9TH
er things, in the neighborhood of 500
pennies were taken from the cash
drawer, and 200 tobacco tags were re-
moved. The money was recovered by
the detectives. 1t is Claimed that a
rife and a hat were also taken, but
Mitchell says he did not get these arti-
cles.

BOXERS WILL MEET
THURSDAY NIGHT.
Date of Lenny-MOran Match POST

Date of Lenny-Moran Match POST
pOned From Wednesday Night.
Tony Moran. the featherweight box
er, who is coming here to box Eddie
Lenny before the local athletic club,
has requested the club promoters to
defer the date of the bout until Thurs
day night, instead of Wednesday
night, March 4, as first scheduled, so
that he may have another day in
which to prepare himself.
This the promoters have consented
to do, so the match will occur Thurs
day night of this week. Moran will ar
rive here tomorrow, and as he Is in
good condition, the four intervening
days will be sufficient for him to put
on the finishing touches.
This bout will furnish the opening
attraction of the new club rooms az
the corner of Whitaker and State
streets, which are now being fitted up
for boxing purposes, and which will
be ready for use by this date. It is in
tended to make the opening OF the new
club a grand affair, and as prelimina-
ries to the main bout, two other
matches will be pulled off-one for ten
rounds and the other for six. Those
who will meet in the ten-round bout
are Young Jollie and Kid Adams OF
this city. Jollie claims the 10 pound
championship of the state, and is con-
sidered a promising lad of his class.
Adams is another good boy, and stood
Jollie off once before for a ten-round
draw.
The six round bout will bring to-
segther Kid Sullivan and Joe Glenn
ents. another pair of light and shitty
exponents of the art. Shorty jenkins,
the regular club referee, will ofhclate
in all the bouts.
