A Lack OF Water Puts the City in
Darkness.
The city was in darkness last night up
TO 10 O'clock, owing TO the extinguish-
ment OF the electric lights. Upon inquiry
at the works it was ascertained that the
supply Of water was unexpectedly shut
of about half an hour after the lights
were first lit in order TO make some re-
pairs to one Of the water mains, and con-
sequently no steam could Re made to run
the dynsmos. superintendent Keck, with
the assistance OF Chief Engineer Fer
nandez, Of the fire department,
obtained a number Of lengths of hose and
formed connection with fire hydrant
on Indian street, thus securing a supply
OF water for boilers during the night.
The shutting of Of light, although it was
wholly unavoidable, caused considerable
annoyance In tho market, which was in
sufficiently lighted during the market
hours by candles and gas in the stalls.
The side streets We're dark az a pocket,
and the absence OF light caused them TO
be avoided by pedestrians. AT 10 O'Clock
the lights were turned on again.

The Southern railroad war

A well-informed official in Chattanooga
was interviewed the other day concerning
the cut in Eastern passenger rates by
the Western and Atlantic railroad
aud the probability of a general democrat.
ization OF passenger rates in the South.
He thought there would certainly be a
lively fight before the matter was settled.
He predicts that the Western and At
lantic viii make another cut in short
time in order to force fight, since they
have commenced the fun and the East
Tennessee refused to meet their rates. 1t
is an open secret that the Piedmont Air
Line has joined the Western and Atlantic
10 fight the East. Tennessee system, as the
latter completes with both lines. 1t is
possible that should the Air Line cut from
Atlanta to Eastern points, the East Ten
nessee would cut, but there is no proba-
biitY that General Passenger Agent
Wrenn will pay any attention to the pres
ent reduced rates.

IN THE RAILWAY WORLD.
SENATOR BROWNS LETTER TO
THE COMMISSION.

He Denies that the Western and Atlantic
Railroad Is AmenabIe to the Rates
Fixed by the Commission, and Says
that 1t Has No Central Over Railroads
Outside the State.
Some time In the latter part Of July
Messrs. Mynatt Il Howell addressed ciI-
cular letter to the railroads in the State,
citing them to appear before the Railroad
Commissioners on Aug. 6, to answer a
railroad pool.
Hon. Joseph E. Brown, President
of the Western and Atlantic rail-
road, has replied TO the commits
sion. He holds that the road is not sub
ject to the rates fixed by the commission
ers, and insists that they cannot Interfere
in the matter. The road, he says, is not
party to any pooling arrangement. He
denies that the commission has any Juris-
diction to interfere with any arrange
ment it may make for the transportation
of freights from one State into another, or
from one State over the territory of
another, and into a third, fourth, or fifth
state, or that it has any right or power to
interfere, in other words, with Interstate
commerce between different States.
The complaint was made to
the commission that privi-
leges were granted to Nashville
in discrimination against Atlanta.
Senator Brown, in his letter, says: "In so
far as the instance we cited, where 1t is
claimed that privileges that are given the
city of Nashville are not given to cities in
Georgia, respectfully submit that your
honorable body has no control over the
railroads of Georgia in reference to the
rates at which they carry frei9hts to or
from the city of Nashville In the State Of
Tennessee; but that your Jurisdiction is
confined to freights transported from one
point to another in the state OF Georgia"
He goes on TO say that the Western and
Atlantic is leased from the State for
twenty years at $4,000 per month, and
that the commission has no jurisdiction
over the road to cut down, modify or in.
terfere with the freights so as to reduce
them below the treights and passenger
rates received and charged by the State at
the time it leased the road, or to iu-
terfere with them 80 as TO destroy
the cOmpany's incomes, and render it un-
able to pay the rental to the State under
the contract. The company, he says,
''stands upon its contract with the State,
and has from the date of the lease stood
there in good faith, and has met every OBJ
legation which il stipulated in the con-
tract to meet, and hopes TO continue to do
so, and will do so, unless by unWarrant-
able interference on the part of the State,
or the railroad commission, its ability to
meet it's obligations should be destroyed,
and its honest intentions to comply with
its contract be defeated by the Illegal ac-
ton of the State or its commission.
The decision of the board was looked
for on Aug. 8, but the complaint was post
poned from day to day, and there has been
no decision on the question so far. There
seems to be no probability OF an answer
soon to the question involved.
