now on foot to extend the Wadley and
Mt. Vernon Railroad. which has been
built as far as Douglas, in Coffee

CRIMINAL CASES
BEFORE JUDGE NORWOOD.

The weekly criminal grind of the
City Court yesterday turned out very
little beyond the conviction of w.
Goodwin, who was convicted of steal
ing ham from Ben Fender and sem
fenced to pay a fine of 800 or serve
twelve months on the changing.
Goodwin was recently awarded a YER
dict for $4,000 against the Central OF
Georgia Railway for personal dam
ages. His defense was that he thought
the ham was his lunch box.
A number of other petty larceny
cases were heard and disposed of by
Judge Norwood. The case against
Cassel, the pawnbroker charged with
cheating and swindling, was continued
until next Friday,

MACON RlFLEMEN
MUST GET NEW RANGE.
Introduction of Krag-Jorgenson
Rifle Makes Change Necessary.

The companies of Georgia State
Troops located at Macon are confronted
by the same proposition that is giving
the Savannah troops so much trouble.
The introduction of the Krag-Jor-
genson rifle has made it impossible to
continue the use of the present rifle
range, and the officers are now hunt
ing for a site for another
The present range of the Macon
troops is familiar to many Savannah
militiamen because of contests on it
in which they have taken part. 1t is
said to be a valuable one, and some
$4,000 have been spent in improving it.
The committee seeking the site for
the new range consists of Capt. w.
polhill Wheeler of the Macon Hussars,
and Capt. n. c.. Dewinner, inspector
of rifle practice. 1t is believed they
have determined on a site, though they
are not yet ready to announce its To-
cation. and that immediate steps will
be taken to have the range ready in
time for spring shooting.

OPMENT OF A. AND b.

Left National Railroad of Mexico at
Ago but Was Induced TO Recon-
slider the Matter-UnderstoOd That
He VIII Make Atlanta His Home.
Changes Planned for Atlantic and
Birmin CHAM.
Capt w. G. Raoul, president of the
National Railroad of Mexico, has re-
signed that position and win relinquish
the affairs of the road so soon as his
successor is selected.
This information reached Savannah
yesterday in the New York papers of
the day before. 1t is stated that ]. j.
Metcalfe, president of the Mexican In
ternational Railway, which is a part
Of the Nationals system, was suggest
ed as the successor of Capt. Raoul, but
the directors thought 1t advisable to
keep Mr.. Metcalfe in his present place.
1t is stated that the place is still
open and that the directors are look
ing for practical railroad manager
from the United States to take COM
mand of the system. 1t is a very
extensive one and was built up under
the guidance Of Speyer & Co. as finan-
cial reorganizers of the old Mexican
National system.
Retired at own Request.
Capt. Raoul retires at his own re-
quest. This he put on the grounds that
his advancing years made it incon-
venient for him to make the frequent
long Journeys that are required. and
which often necessitate his making the
trip from New York to Mexico and
back. Capt. Raoul placed his resignation
with the directors of the system about
year ago, but withdrew it at their
request.
The retiring president of the National
Railroad of Mexico is also the president
of the Atlantic and Birmingham, a line
that because Of it's recent development
and the well founded rumors that it is
TO materially increase its mileage short

mate goal, promises to become one of

extends from Waycross to Montezuma
with a branch TO Townsville, which
gives it a mileage of 220 miles. When
it acquires the Brunswick and Birming-
ham road its mileage viii be increased
to $50 miles.
BY securing the Brunswick and Birm-
ingham it will secure d valuable outlet
at Brunswick and it is understood that
trackage rights may also be secured
into Savannah over the line of the
Atlantic Coast Line from Offerman,
and that the headquarters of the sys-
tenn may be moved to this city. Sa-
vannah's exceptional shipping, and
banking facilities will, it is believed.
cause this to be done. Capt. Raoul
is well known in Savannah, having
formerly been president of the Central
of Georgia.
