TOURIST RATES ANNOUNCED.
Savannah Gets Nothing From the
Southern Passenger Association.

Savannah Gets Nothing From the
Southern Passenger Association.
The tourist rates for the winter have
as announced in the Morning News some
time ago, been agreed upon, and will go
into effect Nov. /. Savannah, as usual,
was left out by the Southern Passenger
Association from among the tourist
points for northern and eastern business,
although it is more of a tourist point
than many which were granted tourist
rates. Commissioner Slaughter has
given notice to the roads forming the as
ISOLATION that the rates will be the same
to winter tourists this year as they were
last, which means that the traveller shall
pay cents per mile both ways, instead
of 8.
Tickets will go on sale Nov /, and will
be sold until April 1, when the season of
sale will close, tickets being good to re-
turn, however, until May !.
This year there will be an effort to put
a stop to the work of the ticket scalpers
in the selling Of winter tourist rates.
Stop-over privileges will be granted Just
as heretofore, but they will be manipu-
lated on a different line of operation The
passenger desiring to secure a stop-over
will have to go to the ticket agent in the
town he wishes to stop and deposit his
ticket with him, getting a receipt for it..
When he goes TO leave the town he Will
have to 80 to the ticket agent and get his
ticket again, and along with il he will
get a ''paster," the length of the stop
over, and on what train the passenger
must leave town on the continuance of
his journey.
These precautions were thought neccs-
sary by the railroads for the reason that
the winter tourist traffic has always af-
cd a4vF aflur to fr1F rot
scalpers in their work. The tickets
would be sold to them for speculation
by the party after a stop-over had been
enjoyed. The new plan will not neces-
sarily put the passenger to any additional
trouble, since the tickets win be kept by
the ticket agent wherever the stop
over is allowed and will be given back
to the passenger when he wishes to re-
sumo the course Of his journey. In put
ting the passenger to the trouble of going
to the agent for the ticket the roads do
not put him to any more worry than he
would suffer IN the ordinary purchase Of
a ticket, since all he would have to do
would be to call at the ticket window Of
the agent OF the road over which his
ticket originally read.
Savannah has no reason to be friendly
to the Southern Passenger Association in
the matter Of tourist rates. 1t has been
Disseminated against by the roads which
draw travel and traffic from il for years
In favor OF points much less tourist
points. 1t has rates from the west and
has had them for some time. but there is
no reason why II should not be given
specially advertised rates from northern
and eastern points instead OF the stop
over privilege which railroad men here
and elsewhere have been telling for the
last four or five years is just as good.
but which is really no good at all as an
advertisement for Savannah.

SPINNING MORE COTTON.
Last Months Consumption $1,000 Bales
Ahead Of September, 1898.

The Northern Spinners Have Used
1885, Bales of the New Crop AL
ready-Phe Overland Movement and
the Receipts of the Ports Greatly in
Excess of Last FEAR and the Year Be-
fore-All the Southern Ports Show an
Increase Except Norfolk-Ths Foreign
Exports During September $4,000
Bales Ahead of September a Year Ago.
The statement of the overland cotton
movement, receipts, exports, etc. for
September, the opening month of the new
crop year, has just been published by
the Financial Chronicle.
The statement shows the amount
brought into sight through the ports, in
terror towns and the rail movement in
September to be considerably in excess
of the figures for the corresponding period
of the two preceding years, having been
654, 191 bales, against 5l1,273 bales in 1898,
and 522, 1852 bales in 1892 but as compared
with either 1891 or 1890 there is a marked
decrease.
Northern spinners took 1O5, 667 bales dur
ing the month, or a much greater amount
than in the same time in 1888 or 1892.
The gross movement overland has been
3l,SOS bales, against 2, 961 bales in 1898, and
3z,257 in 1892. The shipments from St.
Louis this year were 1903 bales, a fair
gain over a year ago, and 80 per cent. of
this September's gross The amount
carried via Cairo shows an appreciable In
crease over last year, and the same is
true of Louisville and Cincinnati. The
net for the month makes a more favor
able comparison with the previous year
than does the gross, the net being p, AL
bales, against only 1856 bales in 1898, and
%, $40 bales in the previous year.
The net receipts at the ports in September
show a large increase over the CORE
spending month last year, and the eX-
cess is seen to be heavy when comparison
is made with 1892. The increase is shared
by all the important ports except Nor
folk, and the gains are quite marked at
Charleston, New Orleans and Galveston.
Foreign exports reached 2O2673 bales,
against 1920 bales last year. and 172, $50
in 1892.
That portion of the crop which has
reached market through the out ports
and overland, and the southern consump-
tion during September this year and the
TWO previous years, are as follows: Re
ceipts at the ports, 500 $50 bales, against
ST 40S bales in 1898, and 405,3J5 in 1892; net
receipts overland were p, AL bales against
Il, s65 bales in 1888 and %, GAG in 1892; south
ern consumption was IS, 900 bales, against
65, 900 bales in 1923, and So 900 in 1892. This
shows the total movement marketed dur
| ing September to be SOS, 69l bales, against
455 273 bales in 1893 and 4S7, sol bales in
| 1892, or 143,418 bales more than in 1898, and
111,390 more than in 1892.
The northern spinners took during Sep
TENDER last, 105,667 bales, an increase over
the corresponding period of 1898 of IS,
229 bales, and a gain over the same period
in 1892 of 19,403 bales. Adding the total
number of bales marketed during the
month of September to the interior stocks
! in excess of Sept. !, the total supply is
shown to be 65l, 191 bales, as against 51l,
273 in 1893, and 522, SOP in 1892

RAIL AND CRossTIE .

The PENNSYLVANIA railroad has just put
in use on the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore division some mammoth locomo-
tives which are regarded as the acme of To-
comotlve construction. These railroad
monsters are known as the "S0-inch class
+, " and are capable of maintaining high
speed. They weigh about 100000 pounds
and this, railroad men say, lessons the
danger OF travelling, as the weight makes it
almost impossible for them to leave we'll
constructed and a well-ballasted track.
The new locomotives have Just been turned
out of the company's shops at Altoona. Pa
Five of them are now in service between
New York and Washington. Their driving
wheels are eighty inches in diameter, and
from this they derive their names
Each revolution of the wheels covers TWEEN
tY-one feet, and when they nave turned $50
times q mile has been passed. AT this
rate, the trains they draw can easily make
mile in fOrty-fve seconds, and can keep up
the same rate of speed for long distances.
The designer of the new locomotive is Mr.
Theodore n. Ely, chief OF motive power of
the Pennsylvania Company, who has been
experimenting for some years to produce
rapid-running locomotives. They are TO be
used for passenger and fast freight service
on the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Bal
timore railroad. and can be seen almost any
day at Union Station

CUT WITH A PIECE OF GLASS.
Mr.. F. ]. Rerty Hurt by Fall at Thun
derbolt.

Mr.. F. ]. Herty, clerk to the Marine
hospital surgeon, suffered a painful acct
dent at Thunderbolt yesterday morning.
He was at the Tivon park with some
friends, and was about to return to the
city. They saw the car passing and ran
to catch it, As Mr.. Herty was running
up the steps of the pavilion he stumbled
and fell, striking his chest against piece
of glass, it is thought. He did not realize
that he was hurt until after he got on
the car, when the wound began to bleed
The wound bled quite freely and caused
great anxiety to Mr.. Herty's friends. Mr.
Herty was taken at once TO his boarding
house, and DR.. NJ. 7. Davis was called in
and dressed the wound. The wound is
quite painful, but is not considered seri-
Gus. People who saw Mr.. Herty coming
in on the car naturally supposed that he
had been hurt in a difficulty, but such was
not the case.

OUR BOYS GIRL.
The Subject of an Interesting Sermon
by Rev. a. N. williams.

Rev. A. NJ. Williams preached an iner-
esting sermon at Wesley Monumental
Church last night on the subject of "Our
Boys Girl" His text was taken from
Genesis VII. IS: "And the Lord said it
is not good that the man should be
alone"
Rev. Mr.. Williams spoke first of the
origin of the girl, and then of her mis-
sion. He took the Biblical story of the
creation of woman in a symbolic sense
rather than a literal one. He spoke of
woman as the product of man in the
sense that what he gathered from the
world she took and transmitted into finer
and loftier conceptions and works.
Woman, he said, was necessary to man
as a companion, and she was just the
companion that man needs. If a man
was of low or ordinary moral or mental
development she was liable to share his
sphere, but if he possess these quail
ties and characteristics in the higher
sense she met the necessities, he said,
and is equal to the occasion. He spoke
of Ewes appearance in the world at the
time when Adam was unconscious, and
drew from it the lesson that woman is
developed while the world is unconscious.
The rapid development of the girl he
said, to meet the circums tances with
which she finds herself surrounded is one
of the mysteries Of nature.
In speaking of the mission of woman
he said in the future she was destined to
be more independent. Man, he said, had
asserted his political independence more
than 100 years ago, while woman is just
now declaring hers. She is preparing
herself for work, he said, and is no longer
bound by the old idea that woman must
be married to keep Miss" off her tomb
stone. He said he believed she would ex-
ercise a larger and wider influence in
woman's life in the future. He did not
think that in the final settlement of the
woman question she would be allowed to
vote because the family and not the in
dividual is the unit of government He
said that spiritual powers will make an
impression in the worlds redemption
from the lower forces, evils and powers.
The mission of woman, he said would
still be to make homes which are the next
best thing to heaven. God made Heaven.
he said, In conclusion, and woman makes
homes, and will continue to do so from
choice, and not from necessity.
Next Sunday Rev Mr.. Williams will
preach on THE Marriage Ceremony"

FEW PRISONERS IN JAIL.
Every One Confined for the City Court
Has Been Disposed OF.

For the first time in several years the
jail is clear of city court prisoners-that
is, persons charged with misdemeanors.
which are the only class of criminal cases
tried by that court. This Is due to the
work of the city court for the last ten
days, in which Judge MacDoneH has been
ably assisted by Mr.. +. Z. Salas, who has
been acting as solicitor general pro tenn
Sessions of the criminal branch of the
city court have been held regularly every
two or three days during the last ten
days which has resulted in giving the
chain gang many recruits, beside reIeas-
ing those against whom no crimes could
be proven. There are only sixteen pris-
oners in the jail charged with felonies
who are to be tried by the superior court.
The other prisoners are those of the
United States and those for the superior
court are the only state prisoners there.
with the exception OF few who are
serving sentences. The probability is
however, that the recorders court will
send in a number of recruits for the CITY
court before the jail is many days older

days. 1t has seemed to be stationary in
the Eastern Gulf for the last four days
The bulletin reported a wind velocity of
forty miles an hour at Port Eads at

the storm was then unknown. Later re-
ports showed its approach to the West
Florida coast The observer at Pensacola
reported at o'clock last night that the
sea was breaking over Santa Rosa Island
south of there at that hour. Port Eads
reported the WING blowing sixty miles an
hour. Signals were up all day on the
east and central gulf coasts, and last
night they were ordered up at Jackson
Vile Savannah Charleston, Wilmington
and Norfolk and al all display stations on
the coast from Norfolk south. All yes
sells will be notified this morning that it is
dangerous to leave port. AS vet the
barometer does not indicate the near APP
proach of the storm here. At II o'clock
last night there was a slight fall, whereas
there should have been a rise. The in
6ications for to-day are heavy winds and
dangerous gales on the coast.

Reasoning from the experience of past it
might be expected that the new mileage
for the entire year will be from about
1850 to 1850 miles. The records, however,
show sufficient work in progress to make
1t reasonably certain that the total for 1898
will exceed 800 miles and may reach LOO
miles. But the highest figure is less than
the mileage of any year since 1868, when
the increase was only /, III miles In 1866
it was l,716 miles and in 1873 it was iii
miles. IN no other year of the past thirty
has the new mileage been less than 2,l00,
while in 1887 it reached nearly $4,000 miles.
Most of the extensions this year are very
small, and the average for the whole mum
Der thus far built is only about l3 miles
each. The states showing the greatest in
crease are as follows Montana, one line,
10l miles; Arizona, three lines, 90 miles
Louisiana, five lines, 81 miles; Illinois six
lines, 50 miles; Pennsylvania, twelve lines,

FEW ROADS BEING BUILT.
Less Railway Track Laid This Year
Than in Thirty Years.

The Railway Age gives some interesting
statistics on railway construction. Since
its statement for the first six months of
the year. which showed that only 525 miles
of track had been laid in the United States,
railway construction has showed little
acceleration, but the prospects for the
years total have not been materially
changed.
The returns now indicate that in the nine
months from Jan. to Oct. /, the length of
new main line track laid was LOO miles,
upon eighty-three lines, in thirty-one
OF the states and territories. This is the
smallest showing for the past thirty years.
How the totals compare with those of i'm
mediately preceding years, both for nine
months and twelve months may, be seen by
the following statement from the annual
records of tracxlaViDu.
