IN THE RAILWAY WORLD.
THE SOUTHERN PASSENGER
RATE TROUBLE.

The Differences Between the East Ten
neSsee, Virginia and Georgia and the
Western and Atlantic Roads to be Con-
sidered by the Southern Passenger
Committee Tomorrow.
Diligent inquiry in Atlanta and else
where does not throw any light upon the
probable action of the Southern passenger
committee which meets tomorrow with
reference to the existing differences be-
tween the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railroad and the Western and At
lantic railroad. The committee, it is gen.
orally believed, will strike tough prob
lem when it tries to satisfy the contend
ing lines. Since the troubles between the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railroad and the Western and Atlantic
railroad were placed in the hands Of Pres
ldent EmnersOn, Of the committee, aud
the President boisted flag of truce, and
called the attention of the lines 10 the fact
that the nag meant suspension of hos
Utilities until Dec. ,, neither Of the lines
have had anything to say, but have quiet
ly submitted TO the decision OF Mr.. En-.
merson, and will remain quiet until Mr..
Immersion turns the matter over to the
passenger committee.
NC lAeAob GuuCbSEts IL Is luutEbbDOils
still claims the right of admission TO the
depot, or the allowance of ditferential
rate on account of it's disadvantages
caused by the location of its depot. One
or the other the road claims it must have
or rates cannot be maintained.
The other lines claim that there is not
room enough in the depot to allow the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia to
come in, and that besides this. if they were
tn lnf Lou
guarantee that it will maintain rates.
Another reason for refusal TO let the line
into the depot is that the principal owners
OF the depot are comparative lines Of the
East Tennessee, and that they have a
right TO say whether they will let a new
line come in and divide the business.
Many are the comments as to the probable
result, but no one seems to know enough
to make prediction of how the struggle
will end. If the differences are not healed
by the committee the probability is that
rate cutting will be resumed.

AT THE THEATRE.
"Peok's Bad Boy" the Next Attraction
on Friday Night.

"Peok's Bad Boy" the Next Attraction
on Friday Night
''Peek's Bad Boy" on Friday and Sat
urday will be the next attraction at the
theatre. A Charleston critic says of a
recent performance in that city: 'eThe au-
dience, which included large contingent
OF Charleston's bad boys, was apprecia-
tive to a degree rarely seen. Applause
began with the first act and ended at
the drop of the curtain at the conclusion
Of the last act. The audience was con
vulsed with laughter nearly all the time.
The play in itself amounts to nothing, but
it's ridiculous features never fail to please
and afford much laughter TO any au-
dience. The GrOcerymau had other quail
tiles than those OF a good subject for the
pranks OF mischievOus boys, as was
shown whenever 'song was introduced.
The Bad Boy proved that he could do
something besides play practical Jokes, as
in handling banjo he exhibited great
skill and won round upon round OF ap.
plause from an appreciative audience"

FLORIDA FREIGHrs.
The Florida Steamship Company's Liue
Discontinued Here.

Discontinued Here.
The steamer City of Monticello, of the
Florida Steamship Company, arrived yes
terday morning from Florida with heavy
freight, among which were 1000 packages
of fruit. She left last night for Charles
ton. This is the last time she will touch
regularly at Savannah, as the line has
been discontinued from this port. The
steamer City of Palatka made her last
stop here on Sunday. Hereafter the boats
will ply between Charleston and Florida
direct.
The discontinuance OF the line here, it
is understood, is on account Of a protest
by the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway Company. The railroad claims
that the steamers landing treights here is
in violation Of a contract entered into with
the management of the line a year ago,
the landing OF Florida frelghts at this point
putting the steamer line in direct COM
petition with the railroad and its connec-
lions. 1t was understood that il the pro-
test was ignored a war of rates would
follow and a cut would be made on all
south bound freights from the North. The
carrying of freghts between Florida to
Charleston direct Is not considered a viO-
lation of the contract or interfering with
the business OF the railroad company.
The entry OF the Florida Steamship
Company's boats Mt this port ceased last
night with the departure of the City of
Monticello. The two steamers, City OF
Palatka and City of Monticello had been
touching here for about two months and
were doing a heavy business, which was
rapidly increasing. A new line, it is un-
derstoOd, Will be started this week indie
pendent OF the railroad company. The
steamer st. Nicholas will make three
trips per week between Savannah and
Fernandina. Ii is very probable that the
wants of shippers will be recognized and
that other and larger steamers will be
mt ON 81 an CARLY daV.
