Report OF the Railroad Dommftsee.
Messrs. John E. Frost, w. ]. o'Neal and
Samuel P. Adams, subcommittee from
the Atlanta Exposition Association, who
were in Savannah a few days since to con-
fer with the Central Railroad authorities in
regard to q reduction Of rates on the lines
of the system, have returned to Atlanta to
submit the following report:
INTERNATIONAL COTTON EXPOSITION,
November 1, 1SSl-Mr. Chairman: Your
committee appointed to confer with the
General Manager OF the Georgia Central
Railroad, for the purpose Of securing low
passenger rates to the International Cotton
Exposition, beg leave to report that we
visited Savannah on yesterday and had an
hours interview with Mr.. w. g. Raoul,
Vice President and General Manager OF that
road, and presented to him your request.
We gave him a properly attested copy OF
the resolutions adopted by you in appoint
ing this committee at your meeting on the
29th ult., and urged upon him most strenu-
ously the importance and propriety OF your
request, aud named q rate of one per cent.
per mile as an adequate rate, and one that
would be satisfactory to you: Mr.. Kaoul
treated your request and committee with the
utmost consideration and courtesy, but
sibility OF granting your request until 1t shall
first be favorably acted upon by the Board OF
Directors OF the Georgia Central Railroad.
He stated that his reasons for refusing to
accede to your request until after such &C
ton by the board are, first, because the
beard voted 81, 500 in aid Of the Exposition
upon the understanding with the managers
of the Exposition that no further conces-
sions, either of money or reduced passenger
rates, other than their present reduced rate
of ~ cents per mile, should be expected of
them, and, secondly, because he does not
consider the rate named an adequate one.
He, however, authorizes US to report to you
that while he could take no action in re-
duclng his present rates until the meeting
of the Board of Directors Of his road, No
vember Sth, he would at that meeting sub
NIT proposition to run weekly excursions
from the various divisions OF his road alter
nately during the Exposition at rate OF
one cent per mile each way, tickets to
be limited to five days. We were unable to
see Mr.. Wadley, President of the Georgia
Central Road, owing to his absence from
home. The expenses Of your committee in
the execution OF their duty were SOL 65.
All of which report is respectfully sub
mitted.

1 was severely denounced to-day, before
a number of listeners, by the Mayor of this
city in his court. The burden of his charge
was that had become notorious for putting
up jobs'' on show people. was not al
lowed to say anything in my own defense;
only my accuser, a fellow agent and the
policeman were heard from.
desire to say to the public, respectfully
but emphatically, that the charge mention
ed has no foundation in fact, that | have
never been connected with any job or prose-
cution against show people, and / have
never made a single dollar out Of any such
proceeding. The Mayor assumed every
thing to be true that he may have heard
about me on this line, but his information
is entirely incorrect, and his attack did me
great injustice. II there is any man in the
city who knows to the contrary Of what
here distinctly and positively affirm, invite
the charge and the exposure
In the CoYle difficulty, before the Mayor
to-day, could have shown that was gross
lY insulted by Coyle before | charged him
with being an impostor. | made this charge
in good faith, although smarting under
Coyle's insults, and upon information re-
ceived from the present bill poster Of CoYle's
Circus (Chas. DAwson), and the former bill
poster (Patr1ck Harkens). Coyle admitted
himself, before the Mayor to-day,
that their present bill poster did
accuse him in my presence with
being an impostor. The mistake arose
from the fact that Coyle represented him
self at the time of our difficulty $50 Dawson
Ha-kens and myself understood him, and
so could have proven by both Of them) as
Mike Coyle, whom Dawson and Harkens
knew well, whereas it turned out that his
name is Hugh CoYle. Be this as it may,
there was nothing in the evidence heard to
suggest any "job." The case against me
had to be dismissed. The occasion was
used as have mentioned.
In conclusion, permit me to say that here
l was born, here my people are buried, and
here propose to stay; and that l am not
devoid, as the Mayor seemed to think, Of
both sensibility and feeling.

Mind How You Battle the Baby.
Mothers and nurses cannot be too care
full about the soap they use on the little
ones. Few but physicians know how many
OF the so-ealled skin diseases among chill
dren are caused by the use OF adulterated,
poisonous soap. An analysis Of several
cakes of the pretty and perfumed toilet
soaps that are sold on the streets showed
the presence of ground glass, soluble glass,
slick, pipe clay, rotten stones, borax, plas-
ter Of Paris, tin crystal, magnesia, pumice
stone, oat meal and other substances,
which are added to give the soap
weight, hardness, toughness or clear
ness. The common colorings are vermilliOn,
Venetian red and carmine, ultra marine
green, pot pigment green, copperas, Spanish
brown. ultra marine blues, yellow and scar
let anilines, and burnt lumber. Many of the
pertaining ingredients, though harmless in
themselves, become chemically poisonous
by admixture. Adding the dangers from all
these to the rancid, diseased, putrid quail
ties of grease used, and mothers may well
be appalled, at the permanent evils these
neat looking, delicately scented blocks of
toilet soap contain, ready to be released
whenever moistened and applied to the
babes body.

"IntervIews. or Bright Bohemia -

This new comedy was presented last
evening at the Theatre to fine audience
bY Milton Mobiles, supported by an excellent
company. The play is well constructed,
and possesses numerous effective points.
The dialogue is sparkling, fresh ard satiri-
cal, and exposes many shams of modern
life. In the role Of "Quilford Driverton, -
Mr.. Mobiles displays his histrionic qualities
to advantage. He is easy, natural, and in
giving full rein to his Imagination In mar
rating his interviews and adventures is not
surpassed by the facfle "Gath. - There is pa
thos blended with humor, and interest is
never allowed to flag from the rising Of the
curtain on the first interview to the falling
thereof on the happy denouement of the
last interview. The scene in the editor
sanctum was rich, and was a revelation to
those who had never seen the fighting edi-
tor before. The character of "POtter AL
ford, ;" banker and politician, was well sus-
tanned by Mr.. Edwin L. Mortimer, and
"Max Stein," OF Mr.. SchwaTz, was very
good. The ladies In the cast
are refined, pretty and graceful, talented
aud clever actresses, and persOnsted their
respective parts most satisfactorily. Miss
Ida Lewis as Florence Wolverton," and
Miss DOllIe Woolwine Mobiles as "Jessie
CraYton," were particularly pleasing. The
audience were thoroughly delighted and at
tested their pleasure by continuous applause
and laughter.
Tonight the "Phenix" will be given, and
this will be the last night of the company
/ here.

Female Suffrage and the w. N. g.



As there is a branch in this city of the
Women's National Christian Temperance
Union, organized by Miss Frances E. VIII
lard, the following comments from
the Wilmington EOery Evening upon
the associated press telegram, declar-
ing that there had been a bolt in the
WomeI's National Christian Temperance
Union, the woman suffragists having cap
tured the convention, win be Of interest.
That journal says: 1.-THE delegates from
this city declare this is all mistake; that
the question was not brought up except
In the appointment Of Committee on Fran
chise, against which they were only some
twenty votes. The object in having this
committee is to provide fountain of in
struciion to those women who have, as in
Massachusetts,, vote, at least on educa-
tional questions, The Union merely de-
clsred what it has all along been doing,
that its auxiliaries shall use those
means which are best adapted
to their respective States, and II
an agitation for wOman's suffrage is the
surest way for securing prohibition in a
State, why that is the means to employ. SO
far from the Union being made an auxiliary
to the suffragists, 1t intends to use all the
opportunities available as a means to secur-
ing prohibition iu the United States by con-
stitutiOnsl amendments. Miss Francis Z.
Willard, who is a believer in woman's suf-
frage as a means to this end. was reelected
President with but about 20 votes against
her in q convention of over 200 delegates,
and that little opposition was mostly from
New York delegates"

How IL is Demonstrating a Circus
HLanaper.

It is rarely that a circus company CON-
pletes a tour without being subjected to
some trouble. There have in the past been
several cases, where, in order to avoid de-
tention, the proprietors OF circus companies
have been compelled to pay out money, in
the shape of costs and claims. Such cases
have occurred here il the past
several years. The device to raise a
little money from the circus, We see, has
been tried in Augusta on Forepaugh's cir
Gus, and worked successfully. Last Satur-
day an impecunious individual went before
Magistrate in Augusta and
stated that Mr.. Forepaugh owed him
two dollars and fifty cents for SER
vices rendered, and asked that an attach
ment be issued. He made the usual affidavit
and gave the bond, friend, who was una
ware Of the circumstances, becoming his
security, and the process was issued. A
bailih served the process on Mr.. Forepaugh
as he was riding through the streets at the
head of the procession, and, oOner than be
annoyed, he Immediately paid the amount
and the costs, although he knew that he
did not owe the complainant anything.
The fact was, the impecunfous individual
had never performed any service for Mr..
Forepaugh, but he thought that was a good
way to make a raise. AS matter Of course,
the Magistrate presumed that it was a genu-
inc claim, the claimant making oath that it
was correct.

The Com Marker.

The indications at present point to unu-
suslIy high prices for this very necessary
article Of consumption during the present
season. The stocks are decreasing in the con-
trolling Western markets. owing to the light
receipts as compared with last year. The
protTacted drought In the corn belt where
the crop ought to have been maturing, has
cut the product short, and It Is estimated 1t
viii be fully one-third less than 1t was last
wear. In addition to this the 1reights by

the cost when It has to be brought from q
