What Killed Vanderbilt.

Soon after the West Shore Railroad
with the Baltimore 81 Ohio Telegraph
Company for the establishment of their
lines along the road When the New
York Central came into possession of
the West Shore Road the Western
Union Telegraph Company claimed the
right under their contract with the
Central to operate the Shore line. The
day of his death, under MIR. Wander
bilt's direction, this contract with the
Baltimore & Ohio vas repudiated
These facts, just disclosed, are all
the more interesting, inasrnuch rs this
liquidation Of the contract, it is gener-
ally believed, led TO Mr.. YanderbiIt's
sudden death. Mr Robert Garret,
President OF the Baltimore Road, was
comforting wit Mr.. Vanderbilt when
he fell dead. It is now stated that the
conference lasted an hour and half
and was very exciting one. Mr. Van
derbilt did not take kindly to contra
diction and opposition to his own
wishes. And. when the rival railroad
president proved TO be very emphatic
in his opinions in regard to Wander
bits conduct, the latter grew angry and
excited, rejected all the other mans
proposals, and finally. uttering a few
broken words, fell prosrrate, stricken
by apoplexy.
The story Of his death was told soon
after that event, but nothing was known
Of any cause for dispute or excitement
between the two men. The facts iii re-
gard to the broken contract are now adj
mitted, but strict silence in regard TO
its results is maintained.
The story is generally believed in

Salubrious, Picturesque Asheville
the Coming Summer Resort.
The opening OF the new line of road be-
tween Spartanburg and Asheville has
put that famous North Carolina summer
resort within twenty-three hours OF Sa-
vannah. The scenery from Spartanburg
is especially picturesque. There are
many pretty resorts along the Asheville
branch. among them being Laurens and
Greenwood.
A number of Savannahians are sum-
mering in that section, and the Central is
receiving inquiries every day about tick
cts and schedule.
Regarding the temperature during the
spring and summer months ii Is stated
that during period of eight wears the
mercury but twice rose above 81 deg, and
that the maximum temperature OF St.
Paul, Mimi, is from Il to 10 deg. higher
than that Of Asheville.
The claim is made that the climate is so
invigOratng aud the air so pure that a
residence there of a few months will
rid the system Of malaria, and
some cases Of pronounced dyspep-
STA have been cured by its effects
Asheville is 1889 feet above the sea, in a
charming valley, with "A genial, soft, vet
braclng climate, in the midst of enchant-
ing scenery. Ii has tour or five hotels
and numerous boarding houses, at which
pleasant lodgings and surroundings may
be found.

Editor Morning NeaOs: l send you for
publication extract Of letter received
July 8, 1886, from MIR. w. r. Warren,
senior partner of the Warren-Scharf AS
phalt Company:
NEW YORK, July 8, 1885.
In regard to future pavements
for Savannah, l hope that the Council
will pass their ordinances early in the
autumn, so that the work can begin
promptly. Where broken stone has to be
brought from the North, where we are
frozen up for much of the year, is is best
that orders be given early. l hope the
pavement is giving entire satisfaction,
and see no reason why it should not The
mixture seems to be excellent, and we
count the Savannah pavement among the
best in use.
Thanking you again for the interest you
have taken in this pavement matter, l re-
main especially yours,
w. r. WARREN.
1t is very evident that Council at an
early date should declare what streets il
is willing to have paved under the provis-
lsns OF the existing paving law.
The asphalt company, 1T is now we'll
known, lost by forfeit u considerable sum,
due TO the difficulty of getting material to
Savannah in the given tina of their con-
tract. 1t is reasonable, therefore, that
property holders should be notified so that
they may get ready petitions for the paw
ing, ana the contracts, If any, prepared
before the closing up of navigation at the
North.
Now, is it not wise, if Council or the
public desires that Congress, or part or
all OF Bull street, or part of Liberty and
Jefferson streets be paved, that it should
say at once how much of this work can be
iAaH bat ba,
none? The asphalt pavement is a success.
Nothing so admirable has ever beendevised
for any city so utterly behind the time in
It's streets as sold tumble-down SaVan-
nah" as | heard it called by some North
ern people.
Council may as well make up its mind
that property holders cannot pay for the
intersections of streets; and that if il
grants any petitions for Bull or Jefferson
streets by one block or two blocks. then
tnat this principle must run through all
petitions. In other words, il it makes an
other move TO pave it Will certainly grant
a pavement to Bull street by two blocks.
or from johnson to Wright SQUARES,
which must exclude all the intersections
OF this great street south OF State. Is this
burden to exclude forever the paving of
parts of Bull street TO the south of state?
Have we not rights to the south OF State
street,
Indeed, Council has excluded from the
Broughton street bills all work done out
side OF The line OF BroughtOn street curbs,
and thus has cut the bill down to a figure
less than that asked for by the property
holders. This exclusion OF work done for
tue beneht of cross streets would make
the bill So " per running foot of frontage.
The property holders have asked a reduc-
ton TO So 80 per running foot of frontage,
and yet 1t is the principle we wish to
establish al once and would prefer that
the street fronts should in every case be
charged 10 tue true owner-to wit: the
public. This would destroy all doubt,
and encourage the best city enterprise
ever devised for the comfort of our peo-
pie. JAMES j. WARING,

Two weeks ago when the Queen and
Crescent and Louisville and Nashville
systems were engaged in a row at Chatta-
nooga over the ore shipment from Bir-
mingham TO COwan and South Pittsburg,
the managers of the two lines held a con-
ference and peace was declared. 1t now
leaks out, says the Chattanooga Times,
that the restoration of peace was only
temporary and that the old trouble may
break out any day. There is the bitrerest
rivalry between the two lines and the
Louisville and Nashville people recently
showed the intensity OF their hatred by
sending in their passes over the Queen
and Crescent route. They soon realized
what mistake they had made and
were glad when their passes were re-
turned. The bone of contention between
the two lines is principally Southern bust
ness, and while the trouble generally has
its inception in Birmingham, this city has
been the real battle ground. During the
trouble two weeks since the Southern
Railway and Steamship Association was
in session in Washington, and it was
thought some means would be devised
there to settle all differences permanently,
after compromise had been effected, but
nothing was done. The Queen and Cres-
cent route will probably withdraw from
the OHIO river Southern pool, and this
will certainly precipitate trouble. as the
Louisville and Nashville people would
pursue the same course, and the TWO lines
would then be free 10 fight it out. Both,
doubtless, have the inclination.

SAVANNAH WINS.
Heavy Hitting Snatches Victory

defeated Nashville yesterday in game
which neither side played with the spirit
which they usually display. O'Day held
the heavy hitting Tennesseans down won
dertuily well, and received the excellent
support which can usually be depended
on from Gillen. The outfeld Of Savannah
was weakened by the necessity Ofputting
Arundel in centre, Tug being a notori-
Gus failure as fielder despite
his great ability behind the plate, First
base was held down for Nashville by the
300 pounds Of Billy Taylor, whose re-
marks for the benefit Of the grand stands
kept the spectators in roars of laughter.
The men Of both mines, however, were in
cIned to carry their raillery little too
far TO give the game it's usual business
like aspect. O'Brien's work IN the box
was fairly good, and Heilman's catching
was up TO his usually excellent standard.
The Nashville players are popular with
the spectators, and their good plays were
literally applauded. The same clubs
cross bats to day for the last time OF the
season in this city. Following is the
