The Eden Extension to Largely In
crease the Naval Stores Trade.

AIS 1osn extension TO Largely In
crease the Naval Stores Trade.
President John R. Young OF the board of
trade, member Of toe firm of Ellis. Young
q Co.. naval stores factors, in talk with a
MORNING NEWS reporter, expressed the
opinion that the completion of the Eden
Extension viii add largely to the naval
stores and lumber industry OF Savannah.
In short, Mr.. Young thinks that the new
road will bring TO Savannah as much or
more naval stores as is now being brought
by the Savannah, Florida and Western
railway.
Mr.. Young says that the Eden extension
will traverse the richest pine belt in the
south, and not only the little branch tim
Der roads viii be feeders to it, but at points
where the Eden extension crosses the
Ogeechee, the Canouche, the Ohoopes aud
the Oconee rivers, heavy shipments of
naval stores will be made by rail Much
undeveloped territory will be in close proxi-
NIFTY to line of transportation and new
turpentine plants will follow.
Inc distllling season is now drawing to a
close, and it is understood that accumula-
lions OF naval stores are awaiting the sched-
ullng of the new road
MIR. Young says that there will also be an
increase in lumber receipts from the Eden
extension, there being already saw-mills in
that section, and other plants will follow.
DIS firm is interested in turpentine lands in
different sections Of the state, having one
tract of 125,000 acres, lying in
Coffee, Ware and Appling counties.
The saw-mills usually follow the
turpentine farmers. When the tree exhausts
Its sap it is felled and sawed into timber
and lumber. A turpentine farm may be
worked out, and after a rest of twenty years
1t can again be worked, but certain per
cent. Of the trees die, especially those not of
vigorous growth. and trees where woods
fires complete the destruction of the trees
vitality. In the twenty years young trees
grow up and are ready to be worked.
The lumber mills, Mr.. Young says, are
more destructive to the turpentine regions
than the turpentine industry, and the
acreage is rapidly growing less. The ex-
tent of the acreage of pine timber in Geor-
gia Is SO large, however, that the naval
stores output will increase rather than de-
crease for many years to come, and laws
are In force which tend to regulate the
boxing of trees, with view of not draw
ing too heavily upon the vitality of the pine
forests of the state

THE GROUND RENT FIGHT.
A Lively Time Expected in the Cit
Council

A Lively Time Expected in the City
Council
The ground rent matter will be up in the
city council tomorrow night, where the
question Of assessing the lots for city taxes,
it is expected, viii be settled.
1t is claimed that fully one-half the lot
owners are willing to have the lots assessed
without contest, ii the corporation attor-
ney says they are taxable, and they argue
that II the lots have all along been taxable
and have thus far escaped their just pro-
portion OF the "burthens, they are inclined

pecially In view Of the fact that those
favoring the assessment Of the lots are not
inclined to charge up back delinquencies ex-

the board Of aldermen who opposes taxing

alderman has since thought better of it and
has concluded to remain in council and

the complexion of the council will be pretty
much all one way.
There was talk yesterday of the ground

RAIL AND CROSS TIE.

General Manager Gabbett, of the Cen
trail, owns spanking pair of black horses
which he brought down from Atlanta with
him.
travelling Passenger Agent Bob Hunt, of
the South Carolina division of the Central.
was here yesterday advertising for a gala
week in January. He reports heavy traffic
over his line.
During the last year, according to the
report Of the general superintendent of the
railway mail service, more particular atten-
ton has been paid to the Improvement of
the existing services than to the establish
ment Of new service or lines This is par
ticularly true of the great trunk lines.
In 1882, a man named Boyland purchased
round trip ticket of the Hot Springs
Railroad Company from Chicago to Hot
Springs, Ark, the ticket not to be good on
the return trip unless stamped by the ticket
agent at Hot Springs. Boyland signed his
name to the ticket and accepted the condi-
ton, but did not on leaving Hot Springs,
present the ticket to be stamped. The con-
ductor elected Boyland from the train
because his ticket was not stamped and he
refused to pay his fare. In a suit for dam
ages the Illinois supreme court ruled against
Boyland, and the supreme court Of the
United States has affirmed that decision
The latter court holds that the only contract
between the parties was an express one,
signed by the plaintiff as we'll as by the
ticket agent at Chicago, and that the plain
tiff having assented to the contract by
accepting and signing it was bound by the
conditions, whether he did or did not read
them.
The latest rumor in railroad circles is
that the Rome and Decatur, for which the
Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus was
regarded as a probable bidder, has been
sold to the East Tennessee road. A Rome
dispatch says: II have the news to-day
from reliable source that the sale of the
road has been made made to the East Ten
| nessee, Virginia and Georgia system. Mai.
4. T. Fouchie, who has been In New York
| in connection with this sale, has returned
and it is reported that he confirms the
news" The Rome and Decatur road, now
| in operation from Rome to Alfalfa, Ala,
distance Of about sixty miles, has been in the
| hands of the receiver, Judge r. II. Dorsey
OF Atlanta, for two years. 1t was COM
| pleted to Alfalfa under the receivership by
| the issuance Of receivers certificates. and
has been advertised for sale under a fore
closure of the bondholders' mortgage next
Wednesday at minimum price Of $3.50, 0O0
| A look at the map shows that the Rome
and Decatur road would be of immense
value to the East Tennessee. With the
building of a f1fty-fve mile gap between
Alfalfa, Ala, and Decatur, it gives direct
line from Atlanta to Memphis, many miles
shorter than any other.

ANXIOUS FOR BETTER MAILS.
The Merchants Along the Central
Want q Night Service.

The Merchants Along the Central
Want Night Service
The postmasters up the line of the Gen.
trail are still in for night mail service. A
business man who has made an extensive
tour through Savannah's territory, was told
that the merchants along the Central are
very anxious that better mail facilities be
afforded them. 1t requires good deal more
time than 10 necessary to get communica-
ton with Savannah. There are two mail
trains running each way over the Centrars
main stem daily, and only one of them takes
mail. This is the day train, which leaves
Savannah early in the morning, and which
arrives here late in the afternoon. All the
mail that is deposited in the Savannah post
office after the departure of the early
morning tram, for parties along the line of
the Central, remains in the Office until the
next morning. The country merchants
| claim that the night train carries the local
mail. and the mail dropped in the Savannah
| postoffice too late for the early morning
| train could be sent out at once, and in that
way they would be enabled to get their mail

WANTIT PUTIN WRITING.
CENTRAL FIREMEN DEMAND a
WRITTEN CONTRACT.


Grand Master Sargent Of the Broth
erhood Of Firemen to Have a Con-
ference With General Manager
oabbett To-Day The Firemens'
Claims-An Amicable Arrangement
Probable and No Trouble Antici-
psted.
Grand Master F. B. Sargent, Of the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Firemen, of
Terre Haute. Ind, is in the city and will
have conference with General Manager
Gabbett OF the Central to-day. in the hope
of amicably adjusting the differences be-
tween the Central and the fremen.
A committee consisting of J. j. David
son, chairman, Macon; B c. Hare, Macon;
d. c. Wall. Macon; n. Dickens, Macon; A.
Rivers, Augusta; W. Ward, Savannah, re-
Gently conferred with Mr.. Gabbstt in
relation to a contract for the ensuing
year, but it is understood that the general
manager would not sign the contract,
although be is heartily in sympathy with
the movement. The contract, the firemen
hold, is practically the same as that which
Maj. Belknap signed, with perhaps better
distribution Of the pay.
A MORNING News reporter saw Grand
Master Sargent at the Marshall house last
night 81 have come to Savannah at the
request Of the firemen," he said, land hope
70 adjust the matter amicably.h
The grand master said that he is not re-
presenting the Brotherhood, because it is
not the Brotherhood that is urging the con-
ference. 1t is members Of the organization
acting on their own accord. They are not
asking anything unreasonable, he added,
and are not anxious to stir up any conten-
ton. They do not want raise in wages;
that is not the object of the agreement.
What they want is stipulated salary, and
what constitutes a days labor clearly de-
fined. This is desired, Mr. Sargent said, as
O protection to the fremen who are under
subordinate officials.
REASON OF A CONTRACT.
If the firemen had to deal with the general
managers of the railroads there would be
&c necessity for an agreement. The agree
ment as entered into between the general
managers and the firemen is to restrain
those officials who are Immediately over
the fremen from imposing wrongful duties
upon them. For instance, compelling
them to run out more trains and be gone
longer and lay over longer with
out just compensation for the SER
vice. A copy Of the agreement
is posted in the round houses of the
roads where the employees may see it. Most
roads. Mr.. Sargent says, enter into these
kind Of contracts with their firemen. Mr..
Gabbett is willing to make a verbal con-
tract with the men, but he stated to the
grievance committee that he could not
make written agreement
Grand Master Sargent served his time
with the Southern Pacific railroad, but
since he became the executive officer of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen he has
devoted his entire time to it. The coufer-
ence which he will have with General
Manager Gabcett will take place this morn

Causes Big Fire.

Shortly after o'clock last evening, an
alarm Of fire was sent out from box %. It
was occasioned by the csrelessness of a col
orei boy in a house at West Broad and Nc
Donough streets, who had been sent up stairs
to light lamp. After doing so he threw
the burning match into a pile of cloth
ing, which took fire, and afterwards
ignited the railing of the stairway landing.
This was slightly damaged. The walls were
smoked and charred. The clothing was de-
stroyed. The fire made considerable smoke,
and led to the impression that it was
serious conhagration. and brought to the
spot number of people, who were on their
way to church. The blaze was extinguished,
however, without difficulty by the firemen.
The building belonged to the estate of

reach about $780,
