COLUMBIA, February Is = From what I
have heard tonight in an interview with
railroad official | am disposed to believe that
the rumored purchase of the South Carolina
Railway by the Richmond and Danvillo
combination is not without foundation. Tho
disposition Of tho two syndicatcs is to
work harmohlous!y together in tho future,
as they have in the past. That much is
rortan.
The opinion is that tho interest oe
Charleston would 90 better subserycd bv
an alliance with the Richmopd and Danvillo
combination than with and other.
II an alliance is madc between the South
Carolina Road and the Richmond and Dan
vile Syndicate, or if tho rumored pur-
chase is made, the early completion of tho
bluc Ridge Road vii. bo Insured.
l am justified in saying that scheme is
90" under consideration looking to tho
construction of tho Blue Ridge route which
will &c developed before great while.

"The Firemanic Contest.

Editor Morning Nesos: Will you kindly
allow me short space in your valuable col
umns for the following few remarks: In
yesterdays issue appeared an article headed
"Firemanic Contest" signed "Bsrtow Fire
Company" stating that the Barlow engine
had not been thoroughly overhauled. VIII
"Bartow Fire Company" kindly inform me
what he considers an oVerhauliDgS The
Barlow engine has been, In my estimation,
thoroughly overhauled, with the exception
of boring out the pump and cylinder (Which,
l 60 not think, was intended to have been
dOne) The work was executed in one of
the best m schine shops in town, and the
repairs supervised by the engineer Of
the Barlow Fire Company, who
would undoubtedly spare no pains to
put her IN excellent condition. Barlow
Fire Company" also says: 1--WE would like
the public to know that the Barlow is only
third class, coDtending against two second
class engines.n Here ! would like the pub
lie to kpow the following facts: This third
class engine has steam cylinder of from
So to 9 inches in diameter, and from ~ TO
inch stroks; her pump is So inches In
diameter and has boiler with over 260
1-inch tubes. This is the dimensions of
this small third class engine. Now, l will
give the dimensions of those monstrous
second class engines she has to contend
with. The Waiver engine has steam cylin-
der of 81 inches In diameter and
12-iDch stroke; her pump is ~
inches in diameter, and she has a
boiler with only 255 1-inch tubes. The
Washington engine has a steam cylinder of
10 inches In diameter aud inch stroke.
Her pump is so INCHES IN diameter,
and she has a boiler with 3l3 1-inch tubes.
Will "Bartow Fire Company or some good
mechanic kindly figure the difference in
these engines, first throwing aside the fact
that any class whatever exists, and show
The public which of the three engines
should be the most powerful? The Barlow
engine was built In 1866, having all the
modern improvements of that age. The
Washington was built in 1867 or 1858, and
the Waiver emf CINE In 1862. This will show that
there is difference Of four years between
the Wavers and the Bartows, which is GER
tainly an advantage for the Bartows, as any
clear-minded person win easily see that
there certainly must have been some i'm
provement In the building OF engines In
four years. The fact that an engine is by
her mas. s-cnnd classed is no reason why
she should beat a third class engine, IS
every engine manufacturer has bis own
classes according to his OWL ideas, and
every maker builds his engines Of whatever
class they may be to beat the same class OF
other manufacturers. Opposition is the
life Of trade" and engine makers seem to
follow that motto.
"Bartow Fire Company further says! 1--WE
get no allowance, etc., and ask none"
The only allowance ever given is the right
to use the nozzle best adapted to their en-
CINE. This allowance they always get, and
the second class engines have never, to my
knowledge, refused them this right. They
have at all times used the nozzle OF their
choice, while the Waivers and the Washing
ton have been confined to the use OF one
nozzle. NOSE.

Toll Gate RsaTePa

Editor Morning Neaos: 1 am forced to
bring to your notice a fragrant injustice
daily perpetrated upon me as lessee Of the
White Bluff road.
From the nature and extent OF the coun-
try adjoining this road it is impossible to
fence il In in such a manner as to prevent
parties driving upon 1t who are mean enough
and sordid enough to evade the gate, as
there are half dozen different places where
they can skulk In, sufficiently remote to
escape recognition or detection. For the
little boy who hooks into a circus, or the
diminutlve urchin who, by a subterfuge,
inveigles himself into theatre, there may
be some sort of an excuse, but when full
grown, apparently respectable people de-
liberately dodge a toll gate there is none
whatever.
1t is mean sort Of theft for either ladies
or gentlemen to indulge in, and individu-
ally may appear rather small to make fuss
about, but, collectively, it is too large for
me to bear without endeavoring to take
some steps to put stop to these toll gate
evaders.
The fine condition Of this road, fits shade
and freedom from rewdy racing has made 1t
the faYoriie resort for evening drives, and
my endeaVor is to spare neither pains nor
expense in keeping 1T up to its presest
standard, but / must be supported In this
endeaver. Although have the names of
many Of these habitual evaders, who syste-
maticslly defraud me OF my revenue, have
hitherto refrained from taking any legal
steps against them, as am entitled by an
act.
But there is a limit to forebearance, and I
trust that this warning, through your inhu-
entail columns, will be sufficient check to
prevent such an alternative.

ing friends, and the mound which covered
ail that was mortal OF one whom life was the
5Ov and light OF her home, the msinstay and
comfort Of q devoted husband, and the
cherished friend OF large circle, was pro-
fusely decorated with choicest fOUers-the

The presentation being over, Captain Cor

to enjoy themselves, which they were not
slow in doing, and dancing WAS entered in

the bell sounded the signal for the
departure Of the 7:40 train. Many

majority remained to enjoy the evening and
have a trip home By moonlight. The pa

ance, and the eujOYments Of the dance were
continued until nearly hslf-psst ten O'Clock,

stead Of the 18th and 18th instant, as here
tofore announced. The Central, Western
and Atlantic, Savannah, Florida and West
ern and Brunswick and Albany Railroads
haFe agreed to carry all delegates to the
convention at half the regular rates. Mr..
B. B. Reppard, Vice President Of the First

from which we take the following as Of in
terest:
awe would call attention to the following
clause in the constitution relative to the
proportion of delegates allowed from each
county to the State Sunday School Associa-
ton. The constitution says there should
be one delegate for every three hundred
or fractional part Of three hundred members
OF the SUNDAY schools comprising the
County Association, and in counties where
no association exists, they are entitled to
two delegates for every representative to
which Gheir county Is entitled In the Gen
eral Assembly of the State.
"Please note the change of date of hold
ing the conyantion In accompanying circu-
lar, and give It all the publicity possible.
We hope that every county In the southern
section of the State will be represented.
Use your best endeayors t. have them rep
resented, and in counties where there are no
associations, please try and organize one,
and If this cannot be conveniently done, do
not fail to get some Of your leading Sunday
school workers together and nominate dele
gates to attend the convention. Your
schools will be greatly benefited by being
represented In this convention"

Their Annual PienIc-The Result OF
she shooting Contests.

The picnic Of the Georgia Hussars at the
schuetzsn Park yesterday afternoon was,
through the efforts OF the efficient commit
tee in charge, rendered exceedingly enjoy
able. The car which left the city at two
O'Clock carried out the msiority Of the mem
bers and their lady friends, with representa-
tfves from other commands in the city, and
the later cars brought out large accessions
70 the crowd. The Guards Band was pres
ent, and furnished music for the dancers.
A. four O'Clock the shooting contests com
menced, and, Of course, diverted attention
from the dancing pavilion, but
to compensate the fair sex for this
temporary desertion 8 contest had
been specially arranged for the ladies. A
target wa erected short distance from the
shooting gallery, and markers were sp-
pointed. The contest was quite spirited,
sad during It's continuance there was q
large crowd of interested spectators
gathered around the imyrovised ''rsnge."
10 the shooting gallery the members were
divided into elssses. The uniformed mem
bers had two prizes to contend for, and con-
stlruted two classes, and q prize was Of
fered for the best shot among the ununi-
formed members.
The result Of the contest was as follows:
