FREIG HTS.
The New Rates Adopted by the Fool.

A few days since there was published in
the MORNING NEWS an account of the action
of the Southern Railway and Steamship As
ISOLATION, in the adoption of an increased
schedule of freight rates. This action ap-
pears to have aroused some of the merchants
in the interior, especially In Atlanta, but we
have heard of no commotiOn on the subject
among our Savannah merchants.
It is asserted that the new rates would put
an additional burden of a million of dollars
upon the people of Georgia.
A meeting Of the Atlanta Chamber Of
Commerce was held on Thursday, for the
purpose Of protesting against these increas-
ed freight rates, and resolutions were passed
invoking the co cooperation OF the Chambers
OF Commerce of Savannah and other cities
to the subject.
Col P l.. Mynatt, In an address on the
law regulating freight rates, said that he
thought the government should protect the
people from eXtortion and by proper regula-
tions protect the roads from each other; that
the roads now say that pooling is absolutely
Necessary in order to prevent indiscriminate
and ruinous cutting Of rates.
The following are the resolutions that
were adopted and copy of which will be
sent to the Savannah Cotton Exchange, as
the Chamber of Commerce is detunct:
WHEREAS, 1t Is currently reported and
believed that the Southern Railway and
Steamship Association, will, on or about
September LIST, 1882, advance through freight
rates on all cotton aud farm products, leav-
ing the State OF Georgia, and on merchan-
disc coming into the State OF Georgia, an
average Of from fifteen to twenty per cent,
thus laying a direct tax on the producers
and consumers of the State of nearly two
millions Of dollars, and,
WHEREAS, The railroads OF this State are
already, according to their reports, making
full dividends on legitimate stock, at pre-
sent rates, and are likely to increase their
earnings the coming season from larger
volume Of business resulting from abundant
crops. as against very small crOps last year;
therefore. be 1t
Rssolred. That the Chamber of Commerce
of Atlanta, representing 'One Of the princl-
pal mercantile centres Of the State, appoint
a committee of seven to Investigate this re-
port, aud confer with the railway authori-
ties to see If this calsmitous tax cannot in
some way be averted, and that such COM
mittee report to this body.
2. That the Secretary OF this body be In
structed to send copies Of these resolutions
to the Cham be1s Of Commerce and mer-
chants of the cities OF Savannah, Augusta,
Macon, Columbus Athens, Rome, Ameri-
Gus. Albany and Thomssyille, calling atten-
ton to this matter, and asking cooperation
in trying to have the Southern hallway and
Steamship Association reconsider their action
IN this advance in rates so burdensome and
destructive to the industries and prosperity
of our State.
The following committee, with President
Crane as Chairman, representing the Atlanta
Chamber Of Commerce, were appointed In
accordance with the resolution: B. Z Crane,
Aaron Haas, s. NJ. Inman, u. Q. Klser, E.

FIRE IN a BASEMENT.
Lively Excitement in q Dwelling
House.

About twenty minutes pact twelve O'Clock
last night the neighborhOod of Harris ana
Whitaker streets was aroused by the cry
Of ''Firel Fire followed By rapid discharge
of pistol shots. In few minutes the entire
locality was in an uprosr and the greatest
excitement ensued. From the neighboring
residences the gentlemen hurried
forth, and by their cries added to the con-
fusion. a policeman who CHANGED to be In
the vicinity rushed TO station No. 26, corner
% Whitaker and Charlton streets, and
turned in an alarm which was given from the
Exchange and echoed by "Big
Duke" The fire was discovered
issuing from the front basement
window of the three story brick dwell
ing, No. 40 Harris street, second door
from Whitaker, occupied by Mr.. Julian
Schley aud family. It had apparently been
burning some time, as flames were issuing
from the windows when 1t was first dis
covered.
The inmates of the house, several rooms
Of which are occupied by various parties,
we're aroused by the confusion, and
jumping from their beds were almost suffo-
Gated by the dense smoke which permeated
the dwelling. Fortunately the ladies and
the children were safely removed to neigh
boring residences without accident.
The Fire Department reached the scene
IN few minutes, and two streams were at
once introduced through the basement win
dow, aud the fire WIS confined to that floor.
The interior of the be- ement was pretty
thoroughly burned out, but the extent of
the damage could not be sscertained.
The servant { scupylng one OF the out
houses on the premises had, we understand,
been in the basement ironing until abOutmid-
night, and serted that she had extinguishe
the fire before leaving the room. 1t is Pre-
bable that she may have been mistaken, and
that something in the room caught from the
smouldering embers IN the fire place.
The property belongs to the estate OF
Champion, and was insured, but for Whai
amount could not be ascertained. Some
damage has been done the upper portion OF
| the building by smoke, but by excellent
| Judgment no water was thrown except into
| the basement, and Chief Butler, with hi
efficient brigade, confined operations to tha
Il HOOr entirely.

The ELECTRIC LIghI.

As we stated few days since the works
and wires of the Brush Electric Light Com
pany are nearly ready to be put in opera
ton. Besides the lights subscribed for by
private parties, the company have permits
sion to put four in the City Market build
ing and q number 10 the passenger depot
aud cotton yards Of the Central
Railroad. The capacity OF the
machine now resdy is forty horse
power, and the engine has the capacity of
running two more machines OF the same
size, making In all 12J lights of 2.C00 can
die power. 1t Is also in contemplation to
put up mast OF tower % feet high with
four lights, which will illuminate one quar-
ter of the city. From this It viii be seen
that the theory OF electric lighting
is to have careful test in
Savannah, probably more thorough than has
been given it on. -ide of the larger cities Of
the Union. The managers of the company
have had tie necccssry work done properly,
and we think there Is no doubt Of the sue
cess of their effoi 8, IL success is possible.
From the evidence of the working of the
svstem in Northern aud Western cities, this
seems to be assured.

horses is regularly resorted to in ProVi-
dence, 4. l., among the animals belonging

"For collie in horses a small bottle Of 1t in q

Why the Mystery ?

The Savannah NEWS remarks, in a
guarded way, !'A cOlored individual was ar
rested last night for larceny and was taken
70 the barracks" There is an air of mys-
tery about this which the public will vainlY
endeavor TO dissipate.-NdcOB Telegraph.
This air of mystery is due to the fact that
under new order the Sergesnts of Police
Zone of whom is always on duty at the bar
racks), who are supposed by the public
TO be men of sound sense and discretion,
are forbidden under any circumstances
to impart information to the press, and
hence If a party is arrested, no matter how
serious the crime he may have committed,
the Sergeant on duty, by this unprecedent-
ed order, is not permitted to give the
slightest Information concerning the mat
ter. The Lieutenants are allowed a little
more discretion, and II one of them happens
TO be in the office at the time an inquiry is
made, he Is permitted by this order to i'm
part the information that q white or cOlOred
man, as the case may be, has been arrested
for q certain offense, but is not allowed to
give his name. Hence this air of mystery
OF which our con- mpOrsrY speaks. What
public good It serves 1t would be difficult to
say. and as long as 1t stands it is, by intima-
ton, a reflection upon the intelligence Of
the officers OF police, WAC are supposed
to have sufficient discretion to know whether
the cause Of Justice will be interfered with
or not by the publication of information in
regard to arrest1. The order also closes a
legitimate channel of information to the
press, and in no city in this country do we
know OF such suppression Of news by the
authorities.
