THE RED GLOW IN THE SKY.
The Peculiar and Unex plained Phenom
enOn Reappesrs.

The Peculiar and Unex planned PhenOm-
enOn Reappesrs.
1t will be remembered by many how
great an interest was excited over the
whole world about two years ago by the
appearance at sunset and sunrise of
beautiful glows above the sun. This APP
pearance was of the utmost interest, as it
was prolonged long after the usual twi-
light, sometimes assuming so bright a hue
as to give cause for an alarm of fire in
several cities, an instance of this
kind occurring on the night of
Nov. 80 in New Haven. These
gi0ws were prominent in scientific discus
siOns for more than a year, and Their ORR
gin has never been fully decided upon.
Two prominent views have been held.
Some think that they are simple intensifi-
cations of the ordinary twilight phen0me-
non, caused by the presence OF moisture
to greater height than usual in the at
mosphere. Others have thought that,
since the CLOVIS first became prominent
after the great eruption of krakatra, they
must have been caused by the immense
quantities OF ashes elected into the atmOs-
pherc at that time.
The interest in this special phenomenon
was in part transferred during the past
year TO the whitish glare about the sun,
which could easily be observed when the
sun was partly hidden by clouds, or by
standing behind the verticle edge of u
wall and allowing the glare to appear be-
you'd the sun, the sun itself being hidden
by the wall. Careful observations of this
glare have been made by observers in
Europe, and while there seemed 70 be
some connection with the previous glow
this could not be satisfactorily estab-
! iished. The astronomers nave been somp-
what troubled by this glare, as II inter-
fered with the more delicate observations
The glows have again begun, and have
been observed for the past week just after
sunset in the western SKY. THIS second
appearance, occurring so near the ami
versary of the first, is of great Importance.
II IL il a renewal Of the first phenomenon,
il Will be plain that the Krakatra explo-
sion has been wrongly aserbed as a cause
II, however, this is the last stage OF the
original phenomenon which appeared
secondarily in the glares already mem
toned, then it will be very Interesting to
observe the gradual disappearance.

had called upon Mr.. G. Gunby Jordan,
President of the Georgia Midland, and
offered to sell him the Columbus and

ever, subsequently that no such PROPOSE

stood, however, that the Central is Will
ing to sell the Columbus and Rome rail-

latter will connect the track OF the Colual-
bus and Rome railroad with the Atlanta
and West Point road at Newman or some
other point, and pay the Central 80 much

Of the distance to Atlanta. The Georgia
Midland would not concede TO such a
proposition were it made. and consequent

BRUNswICK's COMPLAINT.
It Wants a Different Rate from Jesup
on Naval Stores.

on Naval Stores.
On Aug. % the Railroad Commission will
decide the pooling question. Brunswick
people desire difTereutrate from Jesup to
their port on naval stores. They complain
that they are paying the interest on the
cost ofc0nstructi0n Of the Brunswick and
Western railroad, which was built by the
State, while naval stores shipped from
the interior to the seaboard by Jesup come
by the Savannah, Florida and Western
railroad to Savannah This they say isdue
to discrimination, and they ask the COM
mission for relief. TIE truth is that large
proportion OF the interior freight does 90
TO Brunswick for export. Brunswick.
however. does not pay all Of the interest
on the road to Jesup, for Savannah bears
. pr0portiOnate part and pays probably
$40 to every 81 that Brunswick con-
tributes.
savannah pays as much railroad and
other tax as all OF the country between
here and Bainbridge," said a prominent
railroad official yesterday.
Savannah pays more for maintaining
the Brunswick and Western than Bruins
wick does"

IN THE RAILWAY WORLD.
DAsHES FROM ALONG THE
TRACK AND CROSS-TIES.

Augusta Excited over President KRouPs
Proposed Line Around the City and
the Building of New shops and DePots
General Gossip Picked Up in Rail
road Circles.
Augusta IL excited over the rumor that
President Raoul has marked out new
line ON the map of Richmond county
which just skirts the city Of Augusta.
The Chronicle, in referring TO the project,
says thai in the hearing before City Coun-
ell few months ago on the petition OF
the Port ROYAL and Augusta railway and
Augusta and Knoxville railroad to con-
meet their tracks, it was held out by these
roads that if the permission was not
granted they would build a track around
the city rather than TO pay what 1t cost
them to come through This, it was al
legged, was not set out in the nature OF
threat, but was simply a course which
they would be forced 10 ad0pt In the IN
terest of economy The City Council
refused the connection sought, and now 1t
ls rumOred that the Central railroad,
which controls both the Port Royal and
Augusta and Knoxville roads, is negotia-
ting for the race track prOpertv just out
side the city limits in order to build shops,
depot, warehouses and side tracks.
1t Is further rumored that operatives
houses will be built and a regular settle
ment or colony of employees established.
Ihi0 perfected, the Georgia railroad Will
be tapped at lIarrisOnville, the Augusta
and Knoxville above the city, and all
through freights will skirt Augusta and
go direct to Raoultown, from which
tracks VIII extend TO the Central and
Port Roy al lines below the city. This is
quite lively rum0r, and lis verihcatIon
Will create no small sensation.
a NEWS reporter called upon President
RaOul yesterday in reference to the
rumor. II am not prepared TO talk about
the matter at present." was bis reply.
Upon being asked as TO the probability Of
the Central building a line around Au-
gusta he replied That there was no
immediate necessity for it until the
expiration Of the contract With the
street railway by which the connections
between the Port Royal and Augusta and
the Augusta and Knoxville tracks are now
made. From inquiry, however, it Is be-
lieVed that there are grounds for the ru-
NOR that toe Central is negotiating tor a
site for depots and shops outside OF Au-
gusta, and that in time the lire around
the city will be- built unless satisfactory
connections can be made in a more direct
manner. 20
