A BITTER WAR IN EASTERN
RATES IN PROSPECT.

The Western and Atiantic's Second Cut
and what II AIeans-Lower Rates than
Ever Before from Chattanooga North
and East-Signiicant Movements in
Atianta-Ge0eral Railroad Gossip.
The heavy cut in passenger rates to
Eastern points by the Western and At
lantic OF Wednesday Is creating con-
siderable stir in railroad circles. 1t is
feared that it viii precipjtate one Of the
bitterest rate wars ever known in the
South. About a week ago the Western
and Atlantic made a cut Of % per cent,
and failing to provoke a fight have now
made another cut of % per cent. The rate
to Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia
and New York is now lower h q ever be-
fore from Chattanooga. The cut, it Is
has occurred for years. 1t Will involve
the Louisville and Nashville, East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia, Queen and
Crescent routes, all competing lines to
the East, ana rates are expected 10 20 to
pieces at once. What induced the West
ern and Atlantic to cut the rate Is not
known.
j. G.. Tomlinson, assistant master OF
motive power on the Queen aud Crescent
route, has been ordered to make his head
quarters in Atlanta. This order is very
significant, as it means the consolidation
of the Alabama Great Southern aud the
Cincinnati Great Southern Railroad shops
there to make them the central shops Of
the entire system.

islands bordering upon the straits
seem 10 be the sole locality for
observing the eclipse on land, the re-
mainder Of the path passing over an

cality could scarcely be chosen for the
occurrence Of the magnificent and awe
inspiring spectacle. But the moons
shadow is regulated by memorable phvsi-
cal laws, and those who would see the
suns face hidden for two precious min

present on the great occasion, taking ad-
vantage Of the comparative nearnes to

Close OF the Military Base Ball League
Games-Ihe Result.
The managers Of the Military Base Ball
league met last night and decided to dis
continue the games for the season, owing
10 the rapid approach Of the cotton busl-
ness, in which most Of the members are
engaged.
The elements have sorely opposed the
meetings OF the league during the sum-
mer. A series of eighteen games was
mapped out at the beginning, giving two
each week. Rain interfered nearly every
week, and necessitated the p"ostpOnement
of nine games. Thus only nine games
have been played. OF these, the Irish
Jasper Greens won the most, and yester-
day they were declared the champions OF
the Military League for the season, and
the handsome chair which WAS offered rs
FIRST prize by the City and suburban Rail
way Company was awarded to them.

is being rapidly pushed. The last third
of the road, a distance of about sixty
miles, will be sub-let within the next
sixty days, and the entire line of about
125 miles will be completed during the
coming year. When completed this road
will give another line from the Western
and Eastern to all Southern States. This
new road will be a part of the great sys-
tenn OF the Chesapeake and OHIO and Mis-

competitor for freight and passenger

The R0iAo1g Register says: Very few
railway companies pay the conductors of
passenger trains living wages, consider
ing their responsibilities, opportunities
and temptations. 1t is for this reason
that the ''knuckling down. OF conductors
has become a by-wOrd. Ii would be a
wise plan to make the wages Of these
officials say $3.50 or 5000 per month, or
enough to enable them TO live well and
put them above the gnawlng temptation
TO cheat their employers. A great many
conductors are even now u~njustly sus-
pected, but if they were all paid gener-
ously the companies would probably find
their train receipts larger and would save
much that is now used TO employ spoilers
and detectives, always a rather disrepu-
table class OF men.
