railway commission. shall be borne by,
the railroads doing business within. the
State border, each. noad being taxed. it's
proportionate shane of the expenses. OF
maintaining the commission, on. tho

The Charlotte and Columbia Railroad
Company, when assessed, attacked the
validity of this tax, contending that It
was invalid and Unconstitutional;
that 1t was contrary to the intersta te
comms rec of the constitution and. also
to the clause granting to all equal pro-
lection of laws, and that it imposed
burdens ON the railroads not borne by
other corporations. The South Caro-
lima courts sustained the validity of the

sion Of those courts.

Four New Members Elected-An IpIunc-
ton Against the Election Asked For.
SAVANNAH. Jan. 4.-[Speoial] THE
new directory of the Georgia Central
railroad was elected to-day. Four new
directors were chosen, two in the place
of the Calhouns and two in the place of
S. M. Inman and L. M. Green, who re-
signed some time ago.
The new board is as follows: Gen. e.
P. Alexander, j. X. Garnet, Abraham
Vitsburg, Jos. Hull, Gen. Henry b.
Jackson, Geo. j. Mills, Gen. G. Nj. Ser
rel, of Savannah; G. II. Phinizy, of
Augusta; ii. L. Inman, L. p. Howell. Of
Atlanta; n. b. Harold, of Amerious;
James Swan, j. G. Maben, of New York.
The four new directors are Gen.
Henry r. Jackson, Gen. &. M. Serrel.
Geo. j. Mills, of Savannah, and j.. C.
Maben, of New York. Seven of the
board are from Savannah ana eleven
are Georgians.
The feature of the election was the
application by Savannah stockholders,
behind whom it is alleged are the Cal
nouns. to the inferior couSt for an in.
junction to preventean election by pro-
hibiting the terminal party from voting
its forty thousand shares of stock.
The bill alleged that the Richmond
Terminal controlling the Georgia Pacific
was seeking to wreck the properties of
the Georgia Central and to compel it to
surrender certain valuable securities.
1t also alleged combina ion aud con-
spiracv, charging that the Terminal
was trying to put in board subservient
to its own interest. The injunc ton was
refused on the grounds that it was not in
the power of the court to disfranchise
any stockholder. If any injury were
threatened, the court held it in the
power OF the stockholders to enjoin
board of directors

WASHINGTON, Jan. Al Special The
correspondence. which tho President
has promised to send to congress-, relat-
ing to tho attack upon the Baltimore's
sailors at Valparaiso will not DO sent in
tomorrow. In fact there is reason ito
believe some days will elapse before the
public may know officially just what has
passed between the department. of state
and Minister Egan on ono side, and the
Chilian minister of foreign affairs and
Minister Montt on the other.
The Official announcement Of the prac..
tical completion, of the judicial proceed
ings In Valparaiso and the intention of
the CHILEAN legal authorities to punish
the three Chilians convicted of partici-
patton In tho assault has given satisfac-
tion here and is generally regarded as a
distinct concession, by the Chiliaus to
the United States, as showing that there
will not in all probability be any fur
Their undue delay in the disposition of
the case.
These tidings have NOS, so far as can
DC learned, been officially made known
to Secretary Blaine by Minister Montt,
and 1t may be that the latter will await
The sentence of the convicted Chilians
before he presents to the secretary the
conclusions reached by the judicial au,
thorities of his country. With matters
in this promising oondision, it is there.
fore unlikely that disturbing elements

Base Ball.

There was considerable of a surprise
party for the cranks out at the baseball
park Sunday. 1t came in the complete
shut-out of the strong American club,
OF Milwaukee, by the Schiller & Quent-
meyers. The Americans are cracked
up to be the strongest semi professional
team IN the state, and consequently
there were not many admirers of the
home team who were willing to bank
on the success of their fayorites, much
less to think of a whitewash for the
Milwaukee boys. The S. & O. IS put I'D
an article of ball that was hard to beat,
playing a strong, steady game through
out-one which was "a thing of beauty
and a joy forever'-not single error
marring their work during the whole
contest. They had the game won from
the very start. The battery, Lennon
and Walker, worked to perfection, and
at critical points when men were on
bases Lennon proved himself to be
tower of strength and brainy pitcher.
Aside from the excellent battery work
might be mentioned the fine fielding
of Steinberg, Keel and F. Smith, which
in several instances helped to sustain
the shut-out. Wolf also pitched a fine
game, allowing the home team only
four safe hits, but he was somewhat
wild and at close stages could not be
relied upon. He seemed to be too
speedy for his catcher. At the close of
the game the home team had scored
five runs, none of which were earned.
complete record is given below:

The teams Of the Sacred Heart col

Saturday afternoon on the grounds of
the former. The score was to 4 in
favor of the Sacred Hearts. There was
some lively playing on both sides, the
work of the batteries being especially
fine. Flynn and Gleason were in the
points for the Sacred Hearts, and Mol
denhauer and Kansier for the North

ger of the Marquette club, of the Wis

Thursday and signed Walker to catch
for his team. Walker departed Mon

was also after Oestreicher, but did not
succeed in getting him.
A new mascot in the person of Man
ager Weber's little son made his ap-
pearance Sunday, dressed in the regu-
lation uniform of the S. & Q's. He sat
on the players bench during the game
and proved to be a frst-class mascot.
