ANOTHER CUT IN FARES.
The City and SuTbuTban'S 3 Cent
Rate to The TybOG Depot.

Transfers From the Depot TO Any
Part of the City andasuburban Sys-
tem-The Reduction On the Haber-
sham Street Linz to Be Extended
to the City Limits This Week.
The City and Suburban railway made
another cut to a Scent rate yesterday.
The fare on the Liberty street line. from
the market 70 the Tybee depot, was re-
duced from to 3 cents. In addition to
this all passengers from Tybee depot will
be furnished transfers to any other portion
of the system, thus making practically a
Scent rate over the whole system from
that point. This is a bid for the Tybee
travel, and special efforts will be made to
catch this travel.
The transportation of passengers to
and from the Tybee depot is expected to
prove big card for the City and Subur-
ban in its fight with the Electric railway.
This is one point where the two lines
come in direct competition. Whether the
Electric railway will meet the cut is I'M
certain. AS the Electric railway reaches
the Tybee depot by its long belt it will
prove very inconvenient to it to make a
special rate to that point.
1t only remains for the City and Subur-
ban railway to make n cent rate on the
Whitaker and Abercon street line TO
complete the reduction over the whole
system. The cent rate now prevails on
the West Broad street line, the Liberty
street line and the Broughton and Haber-
sham street line. The fare on the latter
line, however, will be cents to-day on
account of the large Thunderbolt travel.
After to-day it will be 3 cents regularly.
The thirty days notice given the Elec-
trio railway of the cut in Thunderbolt
fares expires this week, and the cheap
fares will be extended to that point.
Besides giving a cheaper rate to Thun-
derbolt, the cent fare will be extended
to tine city limits, instead OF 10 Bolton
street, as at present. This will bring the
cent rate into play for the next series of
ball games.
The City and Suburban people are con-
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY of running a
spur track from Bolton street down the
Waters road to the base ball park. AS
the Electric railway people control the
land on which the park is situated, the
City and Suburban may not be able to
get to the gate, and may have to stop on
the Waters road opposite that point

BLAZE IN THE soREvEN HOUSE.
a Plumber Room Full of Combusti-
bIes in Flames.

Fire was discovered yesterday after
noon shortly before o'clock in the plum
der-room and workshop at the Screven
house. The fire was peculiar and mys-
FERROUS one, both as to place and origin
The room in which it started is just
above the Office of the hotel, and con-
tanned a lot Of old furniture, boxes,
mating, straw, waste and other stuff,
which would make a blaze on the slight
est provOcatiOn.
The alarm was turned in as soon as the
smoke was noticed coming from the room.
Chief Puder was absent from the city,
and Assistant Chief Mouro was away
from headquarters at the time. On this
account the fire was taken in charge by
toreman John Cullom, of headquarters,
and was excelently managed
An entrance with the chemical engine
and a stream from one of the plugs was
soon made, and the fire was out in a few
minutes. All the stuff was thrown out of
the room and thoroughly saturated. The
fire was well confined and did no damage
outside the room except to scorch a few
window frames and some of the wood
work above. The total loss by fire and
water will probably amount to about $500.
The furniture in the plumber room was of
little value.

BURGLARS KEEP ON BUReL1Ne.
The Fourth Robbery on Duffy Street
in Three Nights.

Duffy street had another burglary yes
terday morning. The residence of Mrs
Dwelle, No 1872 Duffy, less than half a
block from the burglaries of the two pre-
ceding nights, was entered and robbed
An entrance was effected through a
window by breaking the blinds A
dresser in Mrs. Dwelle's room was opened.
In it was a cash box in which wc&e two
bank books In one was a $50
bill which the robber took. Mrs Dwelle's
jewels were on the dresser, but were not
disturbed. The robber went out through
the window by which he entered.
Mrs. Dwelle did not discover her loss
until morning, when she saw the shutters
OF the blind open and the window sash
raised. The robbery was committed be-
tween 2 O'Clock and daylight. Mrs.
Dwelle and her two children slept in the
room. Before going to bed the
night before she noticed a peculiar odor
in the room and soon after she and the
children became drowsy and went to bed
They heard nothing until yesterday morn
ing when they were aroused with diff
Guilty. 1t is supposed they were under
the influence of an anRsthic.
The robber left no clew. He entered
and secured his plumber as successfully
as he has been doing all along.
Mrs. Dwelle's is the fourth house that
has been robbed within n radius of a
hundred yards within the last three
nights, and evidently by the same party
The frequency of the robberies,
and the holiness with which
they are committed is arousing
the people Of that section
OF the city to the necessity for mutual
protection. The robbers seem to care
little for the police. Besides the four
hny 10 g..
nights, one occurred on Henry street a
week ago. MIR. G.. O. Penton's house,
No. 174l5 Henry, was entered very
much the same way as the other
houses. The robber got no money,
but carried off a watch belonging
to Mr.. G. II. Penton and bearing his
name on the case. This is one of the few
instances in which the robber has taken
anything except money. The police re-
ported last night that they had no clew
to the perpetrator of any OF the rob.

urged that southern people be sent north,
such people as he had met in Savannah
and elsewhere on his trip, and a different
idea about this section would be given.
Col. Halstead still further echoed the
spirit of Col Cockcrill's brief address
and urged the formation Of press clubs
throughout the south so that delegates
might be sent 70 the conventions when
they were held in the north. He spoke
in complimentary terms of the election of
Hon. Clarke Howell as president of the
league.
one Of the brightest of talks was made
by Mrs +. A COnnor, of the New York
warm, sisterly handclasp Of the southern
women, and said she had met some of the
lOveliest women in Georgia she had ever
had the pleasure Of seeing.
Three cheers were proposed by Capt.
Smith, of the NacOochee, and they were
given right heartily.
ABOARD FOR CHARLESTON.
The visitors sang farewell" as they
left the ship, and again at the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway depot, just
before the departure of their train. The
train left about 1880 O'Clock for Charles
ton. The entertainment of the delegates
was prepared in very short order con
sidering the time at which the no
tice Of their presence here ar
rived. The credit for its success is
largely due to Alessrs. John r. Young, p.
A. Stoval and f. G. Bell. as well as the
other members Of the committee. Col.
Estiu expressed his regrets last night
that. on account of his absence from the
city for several days, he was unaware of
the coming of the editors, and could not
get here in time to be with them.
Mrs. Louie NJ. Gordon, who is well
known in Georgia and Miss Corinne
Stocker society editor of the Atlanta
journal, were with the party as repre-
sentatives Of the press clubs of Georgia.
Mrs. Gordon was accompanied by her
daughter, Miss Gussie Grady and Miss
Katie Stocking, of Atlanta.

The Mode Of Avoiding the Disagree

If you wish to be comfortable 'derIng
the warm season, those who have to DO
marketing will rise early, take the cars
at any point and go to the market.
There they can select their dinner, sup
per and next days breakfast of the choic-
est chops, roasts. spring chickens. crabs,
shrimp. terrapin, fish of all kinds and
vegetables Of every variety. All this can
be done at Logan's, who caters to the de-
sires Of the entire public.
The regularity with which he handles
every kind of delicacy is known all over
the city. If any part of the country pro-
duces special kinds of game or vegetables
Logan is sure to have them.
No establishment in the south is better
equipped than Logan's. His large and
commodiOus refrigerators are always full
of the choicest delicacies of every de-

are always on hand TO serve the public,

TYBEE's FIRST SUNDAY.
Crowds Of People Anxious to Go to
the Island.


the Island.
The Tybee season begins to-day. Be
ing the first Sunday since the reoping of
the road there will probably be a large
crowd to go down. There will be only
three trains each way. The trains will
leave the city at 6:30 o'clock a. m, $3.50
a. m, and $3.50 p. m, and will
leave Tybee returning at s O'Clock
a. m, 30 a. m, and p. m. The sChed-
ule is based on standard time. The 8
O'Clock train viii be the last train leaving
the island
The hot weather will probably drive
down great many people, and a large
number win take their first dip in the
surf for the summer The afternoon
train will doubtless carry the largest
crowd down, as none OF the hotels are
open, and those who go will do we'll to
get their dinner before going or carry
lunch with them. The operation OF the
Iybce railroad was regularly begun yes
tcrday by the Central railroad There
will be only two trains a day each way
for the present, and three each way on
Sunday. More trains win be put on
toward the end of the month, when the
travel has sufficiently increased TO war
rant it. The Hotel Tybee will open
May 20.
Engineer Mccarthy, who worked so
faithfully for the Vybce railroad last
year is well remembered, and it is ex-
pected viii run one of the trains. 1t was
he who, by his watchful care and caution
prevented what would have been bad
wreck last August during q heavy rain
storm. He stopped his train Just in time
to prevent its going into a deep washout
II would be appropriate that his services
as well as his merit be recognized.
