TO FIGHT THE CENTRAL.
Brunswick Declares Waa-What it
is About.

Brunswick has declared war on the
( Central railroad because of its successful
competition with the Brunswick and
Western in the handling OF through
freights from Albany and other points in
Southwest Georgia.
A meeting has been called for to-mor-
row night at Brunswick to take some
action in the matter. In the call for the
meeting, its object is stated to be "to de-
wise means and measures for Bruins,
wick's defense against the wrong
and oppression of the Central, and
Savannah, Florida and Western railroads
| in refusing to deliver through freight to
the Brunswick and Western road for de-
livery to Brunswick shippers. and for lts
protection from the meditated injury by
the above roads by their violation oil the
laws made for the protection OF shippers"
1t is charged that there is an unWar-
| ranted arrest OF through freiChts over the
| line of the Brunswick and Western rail-
road on the part OF the Central, and that
| the Ceutraps policy is 10 ruin the pros
| perity of Brunswick as commercial
centre. 1t is also stated that the Central
is hauling cotton from Albany and other
points and COMPRISING it free OF charge.
The NEWS has taken pains 20 inquire
railroad and Brunswick and Western.
| Up TO last year the Brunswick and West
! ern was In the pool. IL could not compete
successfully with the Central, and the re-
! suit was the bulk OF cotton was brought
to Savannah. The Brunswick and West
ern was paid the pool balance, though 1t
did not do the hauling. Last year
the road withdrew from the pool, and
as an fnducement 10 shippers 1t offered 20
o. Ihat frAn n -
| The result was, the cotton went TO Bruins
wick. The Central met the cut and is
offering the same inducements in the way
| OF COMPRISING that the Brunswick and
Western offers. In doing this 1t is charged
that the Central is trying 10 Cypress
Brunswick. Ii is claimed that the Gen.
trail has refused TO allow the Bruins
WICK and Western the use OF its cars,
thus forcing the latter from points be-
yOnd Albany over the Central road TO
Savannah.
sit Is not reasonable to suppose" said
an officer Of the company, "thatthe Central
will allow the Brunswick aud Western to
| use its cars 10 haul cotton in competition
with it's own line at cut rates when II is
| impossible to supply cars to handle its
own freight. The Central needs every
car it mas to handle its own business, and
then is unable to keep up with the rush.
| n teleg AN TecelFeu SATURDAY Ut tHe Neh-
| trail office from Americas explains the
situation there, and 1t is the same at other
points. The disUatch read; Yard block
AIDED; banks clogged, market paralyzed.
Can't you have blockade raised to-day p"
The Brunswick and Western has bad
TO depend altogether upon the Central
and tue Savannah, Florida and Western
for it's rolling stock. The Central railroad
has no desire to injure Brunswick. 1t is
to protect its business that 1t has offered
the same inducement In the way Of COM
pressing that the Brunswick and West
ern people offer.

THE AUGUSTUS FIRE.
Inquiries at the Steamship Ofices
Sailors Superstitions.

Inquiries at the Steamship Offices
Sailors Superstitions.
The telegraph bulletin that the steam
snip City of Augusta had arrived at New
York on fire caused some little exotic
ment yesterday. There were hundreds of
inquiries at the company's Offices. All
the information that had been received
was furnished. The fire was among the
cotton in the lower hold of the vessel, and
was quickly extInguished after It was
discovered. Between 30 and 100 bales
were damaged. The damage to the ship
Is slight. and she will sail on her regular
sailing day.
This Is the third fire that has occurred
on board a Savannah vessel within the
past few days. Sailors are naturally a
superstitious class, and when the fire
broke out on the DessOug last week they
predicted that there would be three fires
one after the other In short time, the
belief being that fires ON ships always
occur in threes.

Italian RailwaYa.

OF all European countries Italy is the
one which, by the law OF April n, 1885,
has given to the government the most ex-
tended powers in regulating railway
tariffs. These powers were reserved by
the Italian government when the oper-
ating of all the railways of the kingdom
was intrusted to private companies. The
arrangement so far mas worked satistac-
torily, at least as far as the government
and the operating companies are con-
cerned, the public itself having hardly
mad the time yet to find out whether the
now existing method works to its advan-
tage or not.

Net Earnings of English Roads.

The average net earnings of the rail-
ways of Great Britain are ~ per cent. on
the capital invested. In this country they
are estimated at 81 per cent. on the whole
capital invested. Considering that the
English roads are the most expensive in
the world, the average capital invested
for each mile of road being more than
three times that invested per mile Of road
in this country, the showing made by the
British roads is not bad at all.
