IN THE RAILWAY WORLD.
Another Move in the Eastern Passenger
Rate War.

The war in Eastern passenger rates is
growing interesting. The NEWS an
nounced yesterday the reduction by the
East Tennessee, Virginia aud Georgia.
This rate, it was given out, was made to
meet the cut inaugurated a few days
since by the Western aud Atlantic cut of
Chattanooga 10 Northern and Eastern
points. 1t is said that the war of rates is
not between the Western and Atlantic
and the East Tennessee, but between the
latter line and the Richmond and Dan
vile. IL is stated on good authority that
the Western aud Atlantic and the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia are on
the best terms of friendship, and that the
cut made in rates out OF Chattanooga was
in the interest of the Richmond and Dam
vile.
Macon was billed yesterday by the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia agents
as follows Macon TO New York, SIG;
to Philadelphia, $l3 80; to Balti-
more, $40; to Washington, SO; TO
Richmond, s. so; to Norfolk, So 90. The
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
system claims that IL is necessary for it to
have diferential rate as long as the line
IS kept out of the Union depot. As the
matter now stands that system is COM
PEELED to make a differential rate SO as to
control a share Of the business.

THE BARK OHALMERs AFLoAr.
The Vessel Works of and ia Picked III
by a Tug and Rrnnrht 10 the CITY

The Vessel Works of and is Picked up
by Tug and Brought to the city.
The tug Forest City ran down the river
early yesterday morning to tow the
schooner H. S. Marlor from Tybee to the
city. On the way down Capt. Fredericks
discovered the bark Catherine Chalmers,
which had been ashore on Tybee knoll,
ahoat- She was lying on the oyster bank
off the knoll at the red buoy and just below
the red light. The tide was rising, and the
tug WAS justin time to prevent the Chal-
mers from drifting out 10 sea with tho
TIDE. The bark was perfectly helpless,
for there were no anchors, ropes.
chains, nor even rudder
on board The Waterman who was on
her gave Capt. Fredericks full charge,
and the tug pulled the boat of and tOwed
her up to the city with the assistance of
the tug Constitution, which met the
Forest City at Fort jackson. The
Chalmers was anchored at the tug boat
cOmpany's wharf on the opposite side OF
the river. The cargo of mahogany is in
good condition, but the vessel appears to
be almost a wreck.
A curious circumstance connected with
the vessel is that few days ago three of
the strongest tugs In the port tried to pull
oil the bark, but were unable 10 do so. 1t
Is supposed that the jetty above the knoll
caused current TO sweep down by the
Chalmers and washed the sand from un-
der her. On Tuesday it was noticed that
her stern was afOat and the current and
the sea together finally got her of without
the assistance of tugs.

AN EARLY BLAZE.
A 81, 800 Fire on Henry and Montgom-
cry Streets Yesterday Morning.

A a., 800 Fire on Henry and Montgom-
cry Streets Yesterday Morning.
About 3:45 O'Clock yesterday morning
an alarm of fire, sounded from box No. 45,
summoned the department to the north
west corner of Henry and Montgomery
streets, where the two-story wooden
building owned by John Westerman was
in flames. The first story was occupied
as store by John II. Kemps. The fire
was supposed to have originated in this
portion OF the building among a lot OF
boxes Of matches. The flames spread
with great Tapidity, and IN a few
minutes the entire structure seemed to
be hOpelessly doomed. Mr.. Kemps and
the owner of the building, Mr.. Water
man, succeeded in removing the greater
portion OF the furniture on the second
floor, as well as that in the residence next
door TO the store, but the heat prevented
the removal of any OF the stock.
The tiremen responded promptly to the
| alarm, and in twenty minutes had the
flames under complete control. The
building, which cost about 80, 200 was
damaged to such an extent that il
Will cost about $1,000 TO repair it. The
loss is fully covered by insurance amount
ing to $1,000 in companies represented by
Capt. John +. Wheaton. The stock in
the store was insured for $500, which
will fully cover the loss incurred.
The advantages OF the large hose reel
recently added to the fire department ap-
paratus were fully shown at the fire, as
with IL four long sections of hose were
speedily brought into service and as many
streams OF water concentrated on the
FIRE, while fifth stream prevented the
spread OF the flames to adjacent houses.

Capt. Bowden was the master OF the Brit
ish bark Victor, now lying at Sapelo. The
Victor cleared from Aspinwall for Savan-
nah about Aug. ], and is the vessel that
grounded In the river on Turtle bank
Aug. ~. The statement published yester-
day morning in the NEWS that all OF the
crew are cOnvalescent, was based upon
an official report from the station which
was forwarded before the relapse OF
the Captain. Another OF the crew
believed to be the negro COOK is still
sick. Capt. BOwden, who. upon the death
Of Capt. Forbes at Aspinwall, succeeded
10 the command Of the bark, escaped the
fever until after the arrival at Sapelo. A
number Of prominent phyaoians stated
last night that not the least danger need
be apprehended. as there is no personal
communication between the leland and
the mainland, and spread of the disease
Is impossible. This Is the FIRST death
from yellow jack on the South Atlantic

citation held a. full-dress rehearsal last
night of the play "The Lancashire Lass"
to be presented at the Theatre tonight as
a benefit TO the Chatham Artillery. A
number Of members of the Artillery wit
messed the rehearsal, which gave assur-
ance of frst-class entertainment to-
night. The play proper is preceded by a
prologue, which is OF itself essentially
dramatic. The heroine of the play,
Ruth Kirby" prompted by skate
Garstone," her secret rival in the
affections of "Ned Clayton" a low
born lover, writes. accepting a prOpo-
sal OF flight from Robert Redburn, viii
lain Of fashionable manners and garb,
who has obtained an influence over her.
Spotty, half-witted lad, takes charge of
the letter. and allows it to fall into the
hands Of Kirby, the heroine's father. BY
an ingenious trick Clayton saves the girl
lie then proceeds to Liverpool, to which
place the leading characters of the piece
follow him. With these events the pro-
l1giie ends.
The play is full Of interest throughout,
and presented by the full strength OF the
association will be a dramatic event. The
sale OF seats is large, and full house is
anticipated.
