Cars with Bay Windows.

The Railway Review prints the follow
ing history OF an old railway coach:
Many travellers who pass through Say
brook inquire about an old passenger car
which stands near the junction, and
which has an ice cream sign on it's front.
More than quarter of century ago the
railroad, which was then known as the
New York and New Haven railroad, built
three passenger coaches with bay Win
dows. 1t was thought that these bay
windows would prevent people from eX-
tending their heads out of the car, and
thus prevent injuries to passengers. This
object was accomplished, but the glass in
these windows broke so often that re-
pairs had to be made almost every day.
Consequently the three cars were dis
carded by the company and advertised for
sale. The one at Say brook junction was
sold for 1925 to Mr.. S. E. Hill, of that
place. and the others were subsequently
sold for $500 each. The Saybrook car be-
came match mandatory about twenty
years ago, anu continued to be used for
that purpose until the Valley railroad
was opened, when it was changed into a
restaurant, and was used as an eating sa-
loon until a restaurant was opened in the
depot. when il was again converted into
a shop for the manufacture OF matches,
for which purpose it is now used. The
timbers of the old car are still sound. 1t
was No. Is of the New York and New
Haven railroad.

GAMES PRETTILY PLAYED
SAVANNAH GAINS TWO VIC
TORIES IN ONE DAY.

The MacOns Twice Defeated by the
Home Team-The Locals Play without
an Error-BriIliant Fielding of the
Visiting CIub-FOur Games Yet to be
Played Here this seasOn-The Club to
Go to Nashville Next Week.
Between 400 and 500 people were at the
ball grounds yesterday and saw the home
club defeat the Macons two games. The
first game was one of the most sharply
contested of any that has been played
here this season. The opposing batteries
were O'Day and Gillen and Lutenburg
ana Terrell. The score was Savannah 8,
Macon /. Collins being unable to play,
Strict was put at second base, Hotaling
at third and Arundel in centre field. The
team played an errOrless game.
The visitors fielding was brilliant, and
but for Savannah's punched hits they
would have won the game. Lutenburg
pitched effectively and kept the number
of bits down. The visitors were unable
to hit O'Day at all and GOt only four men
on bases.
There was some pretty work on both
sides. Sutcltfe's fielding was one OF the
features of the game. Several times 1t
looked as though Macon was
sure TO win. The first run
that Savannah made was in the
fourth inning, Macon scored in the first,
and from then on not a run was made
until the eighth inning, wnen Savannah
got in two. winning the game. The fol-
lowing is the score: .a

CENTRAL NOT SCOOPED.
The Market Not Affected by the Ru-
mored Big Deal.

mored Big Deal.
There was no change in Central stock
yesterday. The market was the same as
it was the day before. The talk about the
Louisville and Nashville having pur-
chased a controlling interest in the road
did not affect the market in any way.
The rumOr that the Central has been or
is about 10 be t'scoOped" by any rival
syndicate Is not credited by any one here.
The Louisville and Nashville is certainly
not in a position to want it. The princi-
pal business of that road is North and
south. 1t is claimed that in view of the
Western connection which the Central
is about to OBTAIN at Birmingham, and
which it is claimed would very seriously
affect the Louisville and Nashville by
giving the Central through line to Men,
phis and the West from all points in the
South where the Louisville and Nashville
now reaches, that the Louisville and Nash
Vile is anxious to get control Of the Cen
trail.
A gentleman who is we'll posted in rail-
road affairs said yesterday that there is
no ground for any such claim. The COM
peting line from Memphis and points
west to such connection "a the Central
will have at Birmingham is the Memphis
troIed by the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia: so there can be nothing in
the claim that the Louisville and Nash
vile IL after the Central to save its West
ern business.
1t is not at all probable, the gentleman
stated, that the State will ever let the
Western and Atlantic get out of its
hands, and the Louisville and Nashville
people certainly have no show of getting
hold OF that road. 1t is claimed by those
who profess to believe that deal is on
foot that looking TO the release of the
Western and Atlantic at the expiration OF
the present lease, the Louisville aud Nash
Vile Is unwilling to run the risk OF failing
to make satisfactory traffic arrangements
with the new lessees, and that ii Is neces-
sary, therefore, to make some other arrange
ment. The most feasible plan was to OBJ
tain control OF the Central, so that by the
lines leased by that road, the Louisville
and Nashville could reach Atlanta, Sa-
vannah, Augusta, Port Royal and
Charleston, The Central controls the
Atlanta and West Point and the Western
therefore, the Louisville aud Nashville
would have easy connection with
the entire Central system. There is no
credence attached to any of these rumors,
and the idea that the Louisville and Nash
vile is trying in any way to get hold of
the road Is secuted on all sides.
Those who are in a position to know adj
init that there Is some reason for believing
that the Richmond and Danyille is irving
To get a controlling interest.

IN THE RAILWAY WORLD.
A Brief History of the Southern
Pool Trouble

The following is a brief history Of
Southern freight pools In the ear
ly part of June last it was an
nounced that the Queen and Crescent
people had given notice of withdrawal
from the associated roads, to take effect
on July l. The reasons given by Presi-
dent Bond for the withdrawal of the Gin
cinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific
We're the diferential OF cents In favor OF
Louisville as against Cincinnati to Mont
gOmery territory, the rebilling at Nash
people allowed the same privilege
at Vicksburg, the question of bridge
tolls and the encrOachment by the
Louisville and Nashville in the bust
ness to local points in the Queen and
Crescent lines. The TACT is the pool has
been imperative so far as division Of
the earnings have been concerned since
July l, as June earnings were the last
that played part in the pool. Since the
notice of Withdrawal was given. how
ever, it was decided to run alone and
maintain rates until Sept. 1. From last
January and up to and including June
the pool figures show that the roads mem-
bers OF the association have done better
than before the pool existed. One OF the
grievances claimed by President Bond in
his notice of withdrawal, given
last June, has ceased to exist,
as the Louisville and Nashville officials
promulgated an order on Aug. l
to the effect that no rates be
quoted between Cincinnati and interme-
diate or local stations on the Cincinnati
Southern, Alabama Great Southern, New
Orleans and Northeastern and Vicksburg
and Meridian. With Cincinnati placed
on the same basis of rates to Montgomery
territory as Louisville, there is no reason
why peace and harmony should not exist
and the pool continue in force to the adj
vantage of all roads members. The pool
figures for the six months ending with
July show that the award of per cents.
have been just and equitable, and the
only differences as 10 percentages is be-
tween the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia and Louisville and Nashville on
business via the Jellico Route, the latter
company so far having refused to allow
the former 10 per cent. OF this business.

AN ALARMING SACRIFICE.
Facts

Are very stubborn things. but when the
solid facts and true state of affairs are brought
to light, why that is the time to ponder and
think well before acting.
A dollar made is a dollar saved and this is
the way to save it.

Hats, etc, of Mr.. j. Perinski at 1863 Con-
gress at considerably less than market value
and having been compelled to move same
temporarily to 1857 Broughton street, oppo-
site Ludden Il Bates music house, on ac-
count OF extensive Improvements, we will
offer special inducements on orr entire stock
for the next two weeks, in order to remove to
our store lob Congress street, when mpleted,
with an entire new stock OF goods.
Now in order TO do this we have decided to
marx every article in plain figures and sell
strictly at one price, but that one will be so
low that it will pay you to lay in supply
even if you are not in present need.

SUPT. COBB STABBED.
Conductor John L. Taylor Thrusts
a Knife Into His side.

knife Into His side.
Mr.. Richard K. Cobb, Superintendent of
the Coast Line railroad, was seriously
stabbed yesterday morning by John T.
Taylor, conductor. The ARRAY happened
between 8 and 10 O'Clock at the company's
Office on Bolton street.
A number of people were standing
around waiSing to take the car for Schuet-
zen Park when Taylor's car came in. Mr..
Cobb directed him TO dust it out, and, ac-
c0rding TO the Superinteudents story,
Taylor did not seem to be in a hurry Mr..
CObb reached for the cloth to take it him
self and brush the dust of the car seats.
Mr.. Cobb's statement is that as he
reached for the cloth Taylor struck hum.
The Superintendent then seized TAYLOR
by the throat with one hand and with the
otrer tried TO pick the cloth up off of the
floor. At that moment the conductor
drew a pocketknile and plunged the
blade into the SUPPLEMENTARY left side.
The blade entered between the seventh
and eighth ribs. Taylor then walked
away and went to his nome.
Mr.. Cobb lost great deal of blood be-
fore he was removed to his home, or
Charlton street. DR.. j. b. Read was
called. The mouth OF the wound was
short, but the knife appeared to have
penetrated TO the diaphragm. The wound
is serious, but is not necessarily fatal,
and the chances are good that it will not
prove 80.
Taylor was arrested soon after the
cutting by Policeman Brantley. Taylor
stated at the barracks that he did the
stabbing because the Superintendent wa 3

Taylor was held to await the result of the
wound. de has been in the employ OF the

About two years ago he stabbed young
man named Thompson. He was in the en-
