CUT IN THE MIDDLE.
Revolutionary Changes in the
Freight Tariff.
FoRTv-cENT RATE ON LUMBER.
Crest Northern. Northern Pacific and
Union PaciAc's New Rates-The
Water Lines Shut Out

The new transcontinental tariffs agreed
on by the Great Northern, Northern Pa
cific and Union Pacific roads at the st.
Paul conference will take effect, the west
bound on February Is and the eastbound
on February 20. and are almost revolution
airy in their character. As q direct result
of the advent of the Great Northern into
the field of transcontinental business and
Of the expiration Of the Pacific Mail sub
sidy, rates have been cut almost in two on
some classes of freight. President Hill, Of
the Great Northern. went to the confer
ence determined on certain sweeping re-
auctions, and, ~ q rate war would have
soon put them in effect in any case and
the revived competition of the Pacific Mail
steamers made reductions necessary on
many Of the most important commodities,
the other roads fell in with Mr.. Hills
views and made the reductions jointly with
him. The outcome is the new tariffs, of
which advanced copies were received in
the city by the officials of the different
roads yesterday, and from which they will
be ready to quote rates to the shippers to-
day.
The rate in which the people of the
Sound country are most interested is that
on lumber and shingles and in this the re-
duction is q complete fulfillment of the
promises Mr.. Hill has repeatedly made to
the people of this section. The rate on fir
lumber in car loads from Pacific coast ter
minals to st. Paul, Minneapolis. Mime
sofa Transfer. Superior and Duluth is re.
duced from IS to 40 cents per 100 pounds.
and from the same terminals to Chicago it
Is reduced from 50 to so cents with CORE
spending reductions to Sioux Fails. Sioux
City. Omaha and other Missouri river
points. The rate on shingles and
all other lumber. logs, fence posts
and tank material to st. Paul,
Minneapolis, Minnesota Transfer, Supe-
rior and Duluth is reduced from So to 80
cents. For ali kinds Of lumber and shin
giles in straight or mixed car loads the rate
to Great Falls, Helena and Butte is IS
cents and to Spokane 25 cents.
The heaviest reductions are made in the
comm odity tariffs on such articles as have
been coming around Cape Horn by clipper
ships. ranging as high as 4S per cent, in
fact some rates are cut almost in the
middle. In the class rates there Is an al
most uniform reduction of about Is per
cent, the old Western classification still
ruling. 10 arrive at the rates for points
east of Chicago, the rates to that point
from the shipping point must be added to
the transcOntinental rate.
The class rates in cents to North Pa
cific Coast terminals from Eastern termi-
mails under the old and new tariffs are as
follows:

RAIL AND CRossTIE.

In a circular letter to the stockholders
of the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad
Company, President Warren G. Elliott.
thus explains why the July dividend win
not be paid: after this company had
made every resistance in It's power
against the efforts made by the state au-
thorities to tax the property of the com
pany, decision was finally rendered
against the company by the supreme
court OF the United States holding that
the new branch lines were liable to taxa
tion, and as a result of this and to avoid in
the future, the effects of the strong feel
ing of prejudice that seemed to prevail
against the company on account Of its ex-
emption from taxation, settlement was
made with the state of North Caro-
lima at the last session of the general as
sembly whereby the company agreed to
pay certain back taxes and to waive its
exemption in the future This settle
ment was unanimously approved at a
meeting of the stockholders of this com
pany- held on Feb. %. 1898. In the ad-
Justment of the matter the amount re-
CURED for the payment of the back taxes
was so considerable as to make il neces-
sary, in the opinion Of your board of
directors, that the usual dividend that
would have been otherwise paid in July,
snail be passed and not paid. The direc-
tors hope to resume the payment Of divi-
dends IN january, 1894; If so, YOU will be
notihed IN due timen

a WONDERFUL IMPROVEMENT.
The Sisters of st. Mary's Turn a
Waste Into Garden and Farm.

5 q
Waste Into Garden and Farm.
The most thriving and attractive gar
den and truck farm of small dimensions
around Savannah is that of St. Mary's
Home on Habersham street. When the
sisters took charge of the place ten years
ago the grounds surrounding the home
were barren waste full of holes They
set TO work to improve the condition of
affairs, and now in the place of the tract
of hills and hollOws there is one of the
prettiest and best kept gardens and one
of the healthiest looking farms in the
city or county.
The garden in front and on the north
side of the home is filed with the choic-
est flowers, plants and trees evidencing
tender caro- and close attention on the
part of the good sisters. The trees, all of
which are of tho umbrella variety, afford
delightful shady spots for the fatherless
and motherless little ones to play The
truck farm is south of the yard of the
homo. Its crop consists of po-
tatoes, tomatoes, curumbers. peas,
cantaloupes, wItermelons and grapes of
sufficient quantity to supply the needs
of the home and leave a quantity for sale.
The pear orchard is filled with trees
laden with the choicest fruit Some of
the trees have had to be propped up to
keep the limbs from breaking with the
weight of the pears.
The sisters never have any trouble
about finding buyers for the surplus pro
duce of their farm. Everything is of the
best quality and readily brings good
prices. The flowers from the garden are
used to decorate the altar of the home
chapel and the affairs of the Sacred Heart
church. Col. Peter Reilly, PRESIDENT
of the home, has done much during
his term to improve st. Mary's
and its surroundings. He takes
lively interest in looking to the well
fare of everything relating to the home
aud its inmates, and to Col Reilly is due
much of the success of the home In the
last few months. He has added a long
hall about 25 feet wide running the en-
tire length of the building on the north
side of the basement as a play room for
the children during the summer. and he
is considering plans to enlarge the house.
A happier set of children than these,
who are compelled by necessity to seek
the shelter Of the asylum a Dobler set of
women than the self-Sacriticing sisters of
charity who control it, or a place of more
contentmeut, refinement and education
than St. Mary's Home would be hard to
find.

A RAILROAD SOLD.
The Bondholders of the Darien Short
Line Buy in the Road.

The Darien Short Line Railroad was
sold in front of the courthouse yesterday
by Mr.. r. d. La Roche, under an order
from Judge F'alligant.

Trust Company of New York brought
the bill of complaint and the road was
sold to A, L. Livermore, Esq, attorney
for large bondholders, the highest bid be
ing 1000.
This line begins near Crescent, a small
place about twelve miles from Darien aud
runs about 10 miles along the Altamaha
II was originally projected to run from
Darien TO some point on the S. +. s. w.
railroad, but for some reason or other
the pet scheme of the people Of Darien,
namely, being on a railroad of some kind,
has never PANIED out II is thought that
1t viii be extended now to Darien on one
road and TO the Florida Central and Pen
insular on the other, the distance 10 the
latter road from its northern terminus
being about eight miles.

ity in This Important Court.

ity in This Important Court.
The convention of the ordinaries Of the
state which will be held In Atlanta July
12 will be a notable one in many respects
and the personnel of the convention,
aside from its objects and aims, will be an
interesting one
Under the code of Georgia, and in near
ly all of the states of the union, the ordi-
nary is clothed with very great power
and by reason of his official position, is
one of the most prominent men in the
county. He must be a man of ability and
character, and moreover, conversant with
all the affairs of the county. He is en-
trusted by the law with the custody and
execution of papers which demand a pc
Cullar talent, and hence when an ordinary
has shown himself to be the right man he
is usually allowed to retain the Office for
quite number of years; an example of
which is the present encumbent of Chat
ham county, Judge Hampton L. Ferrill
Most of the ordinaries have their offices
well regulated, and whenever an applica-
ton is made to them they can refer to the
files without the least difficulty. In some
of the counties, however, in the southern
or wiregrass portion of the state, it is
said there is painful lack of system on
the part of many of the officials, and much
complaint and trouble has been the re-
suit.
A particular object of the convention
which will be held in Atlanta next week,
is to establish n uniformity, as far as pos
sible, in the management of the court of
ordinary throughout the state and to con-
slider other matters Of Importance con-
nectcd with the position.
The convention will probably be in ses-
sion for two or three days. Judge Ferrill
will represent Chatham at the conven-
ton
