A debt of gratitude is due Col. L.
n. Trammell and the Railroad Com
mission for their faithful and sue
cessful efforts in securing cheaper
coal rates for the people. A per-
ceptiblc decrease, as cheap as At
lanta, has been secured for Mariet-
ia. The old rate on Jellico coal
from Newcomb, TenG., to Marietta,
was s2,05 per ton; the new rate
fixed by the Commission is S1.65
per ton. On Glen Mary, Robbins,
Coal Creek. and Hellenwood, the
old rate was $3.50 par ton; the new
rate s1.55. On Paint Rock it was
S1.90; the reduced rate is S1.55.
All Of this is for domestic purposes.
For steam coal the rate is lower.
We learn the railroads are trying to
deviate from this established rate by
the commission. For instance, if C
car is marked 10000 pounds, the
road insists on charging for the full
capacity OF twenty tons, although
there may not be on the car more
than IL or Is tons, and the way-bill
will so show. The marked injustice
OF charging tor extra tons, not haul
ed, IS apparent, and virtually in>
creases the rate above that fixed by
the Commission. Some cars will not
hold what they are marked. For
instance, we are informed, that some
cars are marked $4,000 pounds
capacity and built especially for
stone and iron, and yet when loaded
with coal, they will not hold over
twelve tons. The road is not willing
to let car loaded with q tons pass
as the marked capacity of the car,
but charge fer the extra ton at the
Commission rate, but they exact that
the capacity of the car be paid for,
although deficient in quantity.
They want the rule to work only one
way and that to their benefit. We
understand that Commissioner
Trammell's attention has been call
ed to this deviation of the roads,
and he says the Commission will
see to it that the people shall pay
freight only on the actual number
of pounds hauled and received.

WORSE THAN CHAIN GANG,

The barbarities of the convict
lease system of Georgia, bad as they
are, are nothing compared to those
discovered in the Clinton prison at
Dannemora, N. Y. Here is the pic
ture of convict life in this modern
hell
A correspondent of the New
York Advertiser secured place in
the prison, and the account of his
experiences there rivals the stories
told of Russian convict pens. The
unfortunate convicts, it is alleged,
have been hung by the wrists in
shackles, for periods of twelve,
twenty-tour and thirty consecutive
hours; roasted against a laundry
heater frozen almost naked in the
prison yard; driven to work when
scarcely able to walk; worked from
daybreak until bedtime; deprived
of food and water for four, five and
six consecutive days; beaten in the
face with fists and on the head with
clubs by keepers, while hanging
defenseless in the shackles confin.
ed in dungeons foc weeks on a daily
allowance of one ounce of bread
and gill of water; shackled, back
ward, to cell doors for long periods;
placed in positions OF torture daily
for weeks, and hung by the wrists
with slender waxed thread until
their terrible agonies ended in un-
consciousness. These outrages are
said to have been perpetrated under
system which yields an enormous
profit from labor of the convicts to
a political boss"

Congressional envoys:
TQUIQUE, August so.
Don Pedro Mona, WashtnCtOn:
The Junta of tho Congressional gov
ernmenti is en- route for Santiago to-day.
(Signed) ERRAzuRIz.
The dispatch from Admiral Brown to
the Navy Department was the only in
formation received here to-day by the
government officials OF the situation in
Chile. 1t is believed by officials OF the
State Department, notwithstanding the
dispatches to the contrary, that santi-
ago is still IN tho hands Of Balmaceda.
They base this opinion on the
fact that the department has
not been informed by Minister Egan OF
its capture. They say he would GER
tainly would have notified the Depart
ment had the city been surrendered, as
there is no interference with the cable
line via Buenos Ayres, so far as the De
partment knows. The Chilean Minister
declined to receive any one tonight:
1t is reliably reported that he received
word to-day that Balmaceda was still in
possession OF Santiago and had not fled.
