To Run Thaatar Cars.

Manager Gottschalk of the Campanini
Operatic Company which viii appear at
the theater tomorrow night, has arranged
with the management of the City and
Suburban railway for after-theater cars to
be in waiting near the theater on both the
Abercorn and Whitaker street lines at the
close of the performance. If the cars are
patronized. il is probable that the

the tleater patrons for the initial step
towards better accommodations. The sale

Line Case Adhered to.
Judge Speer gave the Central railroad
another black eye yesterday. At tho open
ing Of court Judge SDeer rendered a brief
decision in the case of Langdon against the
Central Railroad and Banking Company of
Georgia, T. Z. Branch and others, Overrul-
ing the demurrer to the plaintiffs bill and
adhering to tne original ruling in which he
held that the sale Of the Savannah, Dublin
and Western Short Line franchise to Gen.
E. 2. Alexander, for the Central Railroad
and Banking Company Of Georgia, is void
because it is in conflict with the constitu-
ton Of the state.
In an interview with President Alexander
after the Terminal company bought the
block of stock from the Georgia company,
President Alexander gave the MORNING
News to understand that the decision did
not disturb the Central, as it had no present
use for the franchise, and the only thing
that he seemed 10 be interested in was
whether the sale having been declared void,
he would get back the money he had paid
for the franchise From the iucredulou5

arguing that the rate Of freight is too hign.
Mr. Clifton will make an effort to have the
rate cut down two-t irds, and he feels conf
dent that he will succeed. Southeast Georgia
is devoted mainly 70 the turpentine aud saw
mill industry, and il is important that those
engaged in the industry should have soma
protection, he sail He added that Savan-
nah is the only city in the state having a
brass foundry, I'D repairs to turpentine
machinery have 70 come here. When it is
considered that arly the whole of the
state south Of Savannah is devoted to this
industry and thousands of dollars worth of
repairing are done here yearly for firms
down there, it is a matter OF much import
ance to all parties concerned that a reason
able rate be made.
A turpentine still and worm are classed
by the railroads as 'cratedn flrst-class
freight, and are so charged for, when in
truth only the worm, which is not more
than one-fourth part of the fixture, is
Grated" The rate on the whole is charged
for as if the whole fixture was Grated.
Representative Clifton thinks he will be
able to get a reduction, so that fixtures com
ing from Pearson to Savannah at cost of
