THE AUTUMN HEAvENs.
September Events Among Members of
the Solar Family.

September is richly freighted with ac-
tive and stirring events among the mem
bers OF the solar family, in which the sun
himself deigns to participate. Two great
planets, Jupiter and Uranus, disappear
from view as they reach conjunction with
the sun. Mercury fits between the earth
and the sum- ana then Oscillates TO his eX-
treme western limit or %el0ngatiOn, when
early risers may behold him for a short
time before his itiul light is quenched in
the sunbeams.
The sun reaches the autumnal equinox,
and shines benIgnly over the world while
equal day and night reign from pole to
pole. A favored few Will behold a total
eclipse Of his radiant face, ard gaze upon
the spectacle as the silyery corona springs
into view and the rosy flames dart forth
from the border of the eclipsed sun. while
the stars reappeaT in the darkened sky
and the face of nature is shrOuded in
funeral gloom.
The moon is not behind the superior
members Of the family. She treats US to
a partial eclipse and the occultatiOn of a
bright star. More than this, our fair sat
elite crowns the first autumnal month
with the harvest moon. For several sue
cesstve evenings there is but little differ
ence in the time of her rising, so that the
lesser orb appears in the eastern sky soon
after the larger orb disappears in the
Western, thus seeming to proiong the day,
tloodi z the earth with silVery light, ana
making it beautiful as q dream Of b leland
where there is no night.
There may be other planets combining
higher elements of natural beauty than
this little world, when the sunset clouds
linger in the west, and the harvest moon,

DASHES FROM ALONG THE
TRACKS AND CROSS-TIES.

Kumors of Another War In Rates-WhRt
is Reported and Believed in Atlanta
A Result of the erchaDt POoI-Pro-
Eres- % the Georgia Midland aud Other
New Roads-GeneraI Gossip.
Kumors of a war in freight rates nave
been current for several days. 1t is a
well-known fact that the merchants Of
Atlanta are throwing all Of their patron
age into the hands Of the Louisville and
Nashville system and the Richmond and
Dauyille system, the latter controlling the
Georgia Pacific railway. The Louisville
and Nashville gets the Western business,
the Richmond and Danville the Eastern
patronage, and the Georgia Pacific the
southeastern trade Of the merchants of
Atlanta.
These lines were selected by the ship
pers of Atlanta some time ago with the
View " showing TO the railroads that their
interests must not be ignored when they
asked tor a restoration of the rebiliing
privileges. 1t is stated tb9' " 10 probable
that competitive lines OF iAese systems
may have come to the conclusion that
they Will make a fight ana break up the
monopoly that these lines now have OF
Atlanta business. This is only suggested
ia connection with the rumOr. 1t is
known that the Eastern markets are now
flooded with goods 10 be shipped South TO
supply the fall and winter trade, and that
all the competitive lines are looking for
a division OF thesesshipments. The freight
men say that while a war in freight rates
may occur at any time, they are Of the
opinion that freight rates are maintained
much more closely than passenger rates,
and That they think that there is less
Likelihood OF the rate cutting on freights
tina there is in the passenger business.
They seem TO have great confidence in the
power OF the association 10 mold the roads
together in a matter of this kind, at the
same time show a little uneasiuess when
discussing the subject, as all Of them
know by experience how easy IL is to
bring about a rupture, il a good and suf-
hcitnt excuse is offered.
A short time ago, when the merchants
of the south were beading for the Eastern
markets, the railroads did some cutting
Of rates to secure the business. This.
however, is nov all over, and business
has settled back where 1t formerly stood.
They admit that there is now a slight
cutting Of rates to distant points, hut this
they clam amounts to little or nothing al
all. They see no chance for an increase
Ut travel until the winter sets IN. and
Florida travel opens up. This business
will not commence for three months, and
may not be very heavy when il comes.
by the time the Florida travel and travel
to the exposition opens up they think
passenger rates will be put on a sub
stantial basis, and cutting will not occur
TO any alarming extent.
