THE SOUTHERN POOL.
The Associated Roads Lkely to Be-
come Involved in q War.

The Associated Roads LIKELY to Be-
come Involved in War.
The Board of Control of the associated
roads of Kentucky, Georgia. Tennessee
and Alabama will meet in Chattanooga
to-day. when the question of whether or
not the Southern pool will be dissolved
will be decided.
The meeting will be attended by all The
leading railroad men of the South. The
result will have much to do with the
future prosperity of the freight depart
ment of the lines. The doom of the South
ern pool is predicted in many quarters,
and 1t is pretty well understood that no
compromise can he effected whereby the
business can be carried on as under the
present regime.
Several months since the Cincinnati
Southern railway gave notice that they
would withdraw from the pool on Sept. [.
The Louisville and Nashville, the rIva OF
the Queen and Crescent, at once an
nounced that they would be compelled to
also withdraw, as the Queen and Crescent
was their nearest competitor. This
served to make matters worse. and the
laffairs of the pool have since been grow
5ng more and more complicated. The
officers OF this company realized the im-
lPehulhS Irouole, anu AT once set ABOUT 10
avert it If possible, but their efforts were
by no means successful. The Queen and
Crescent people claim that they do not
receive justice and have no recourse but
TO withdraw. They seem determined, and
such dissensions have arisen as to rem
der it almost impossible to preserve the
pool.
The situation has been freely discussed
In railroad circles here, and the result OF
the Chattanooga meeting is awaited with
a good deal of interest.

THE NEW PUBLIC BUILDING.
The Union Society to Offer the Gov
eminent Site.


eminent a Site.
The first step towards securing a site
for the new public building was taken
yesterday by advertising for proposals.
The bids are TO be in by Sept. Is. The
question as to where the building is to be
located depends very much upon the price
asked for the several pieces of property
which will probably be offered to the gov
eminent.
There has been such radical change in
the postal service OF late years by the intro
ducJiOn of the delivery system and the
money and postal order business, that it
is not absolutely necessary to have the
post office building in the neighbOrhoOd
of the banks and brokers or large COM
mercial houses. A building for such pur-
poses will be much more convenient If it
be situated in that portion OF the city
where it Is most convenient to the mass
OF the people, including the ladies', in
stead OF being located in the extreme
northern limits of the city, near the river,
and necessarily out of the line OF the
growth of the city.
The location that is apparently the
most popular one Is the lot bounded by
Whitaker, President, State and Barnard
streets, facing the Academy OF Arts and
Sciences and the Odd Fellows building,
in Teltair Place, and In close
proximity to the new armory of
the Guards, the Chatham Artillery arm
DRY and the court house. A building on
the lot referred to would be on the line of
the ciUy's improvement and near the
centre of its BUSINESS. The property
belongs to the Union Society, and at a
meeting the Board of Managers yester-
day it was decided to offer it to the gov
eminent.

WON THE FIRST GAME.

Opening of the Closing Series Between
the Two Teams-The Macons Wear

dIes-Two Games to be Played To-
Day-Denials of Atlanta's Rumored
Deal With Nashville and Macon
The opening game OF the Macon
Savannah series was played yesterday
afternoon and was won by Savannah by
a score of S to 5. The opposing batteries
were O'Day and Gillen and Chamberlain
and Daniels. Both pitchers were batted
freely, O'Day for eight hits and Chamber
lain for nine.
The error column ran up on both sides.
The visitors we're credited with ten errors
and the home team with five. The Ma
cons errors cost them the game Every
one of the home team except Sutclffe and
Gilien got in hit. Although Sutcliffe
failed to bat, he scored two runs. Cham
berlain pitched effectively and struck out
seven men.
THE OPENING INNINGS.
The way the game started it looked as
though the visitors were going to have
every thing their own way. In the first in
ming, by heavy hitting and through the
home teams errors, they scored three runs,
and in the second inning they scored one.
Savannah failed to get in run up to the
third inning, when, by lucky punched
hits and Macon's errors, five men crossed
the plate. The visitors did not score
again until the eighth inning, when they
got in their next and last run. There
was some very pretty playing on both
sides and some that was not 80 pretty,
but both teams played for what they were
worth. Macon will make a hard pull for
one of the games today and the crowd
will see some fine playing. The following
is the score:
