CAPT. PURSES MISSION
savannah, He Says, Must Work Hard
for Der Share of Western Trade

Capt D. G. Purse returned Yesterday
morning from New Orleans, where he
went to represent Savannah at the South
and West Trade Congress, which was in
session there last week.
He made his report shortly after his ar
rival to Mayor McDonough. In it he saws
that the whole drift of the speeches and
responses at the meetings was devoted
exclusively to plans and suggestions for
diVerting trade from the North Atlantic
10 the Gulf ports. He calls attention to the
IdCl mat the South Atlantic ports had a
very meager representation at the con-
SIess' ana urged that il was yery inDor-
Iant that they be fully represented at all
future meetings of this kind, unless Sa-
Eahhah' Charleston, Brunswick. Port
Royal and Wilmington are willing ITO
stand idly by and see the great trade of
Ihe west and northwest hopelesslv and
forever diverted, to be divided between
the North Atlantic and the Gulf ports"
Inc Gut ports are constantly coming
INTO closer relations with the trade in
Ierests OF the west, he said, by the large
number OF trade gatherings and congresses
that are being held in that section. There
Is but one way, he says, for Savannah to
hold what she has and increase her west
erh trade, and that is by constant vigil
lance and the adoption of the tactics
used to desDOil and defeat her, and the CO.
operation Of her railways actively and
persistently, and these remedies to avail
must be applied at once. Capt Purse
speaks very pleasantly of the trip up and
down the Mississippi river on the second
day OF the congress. In a speech on that
occasion he gave notice that the South
Atlantic ports are in the fight for a share
OF the western and northwestern trade to
a inlsh. Capt. Purse continues:
"Fhe only question that for an instant
rufhed the even tenor of the convention,
was resolution offered by me, as a dele
gate from the Savannah Board of Trade.
looking to uniform railroad legislation in
the states represented in the congress, 1t
was fought by the railroads who had full
and equal representation in the congress,
upon general principles, but when its in
tent and purpose was explained, received
the support Of the trade bodies, and the
unanimously favorable report Of the com
mittee on resolutions and was concurred
in by vote of A to o."
He states that ample time is afforded
for consideration of the great questions
involved before the congress reconvenes al
Mobile next April. Capt. Purse concludes
his report that these trade conventions are
exciting a more potential influence in di.
recting the course of the domestic and for.
eign commerce of the country than is re-
sulting from all other causes aggregated
that bear upon the subject, and this is ad
mitted, he says by all the great business

s1oNoR RANDEaaER3s PLAYING.
he Was Greeted by Fair Audience Of
Savannah's Music Lovers.


It was an audience of the lovers of
music that gathered in the Ludden &
Bates music rooms last night to hear
Sgnor Giuseppe Aldo Randegger. The
audience was a refined and appreciative
one, and the performance was given
pleasant reception.
The recital included a number of pieces
from the most noted composers, and they
were rendered with an ease and grace
that showed a great familiarity with them
as well as much brilliant natural talent
on the part of the performer
A gavotte by Signor Randegger was
among the selections, and it was enjoy
ed by the audience as much as any piece
on the programme. He was asked to
repeat this selection and to play "Harmo-
MES Of the Evening"" by Liszt, both of
which were highly appreciated.
Mr.. James Douglass selections on the
violin were superbly rendered and the
audience insisted on hearing him a second
time He is a master of the instrument
and his playing was highly enjoyed.
The work of Miss Alice w. Bates as
accompanist was very much appreciated
Signor Randegger has promised to return
to Savannah within a short time and
give another recital, with an entire change
of programme There is no doubt that he
will be well received.

at a Loss.
Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 2.-CecH Gabbett,
who was employed by Gov Atkinson to
make an examination of the Northeast
ern railroad and report upon its condition,
has finished his work and submitted his
report. Mr. Gabbett shows the equipment
to consist OF one Baldwin locomotive
with cylinders IA by "A inches; one first
class psSsepger coach, one baggage and
mail car eight box cars. eight fiat cars
aQd five hand cars Two engines have been
rented from the Southern in consequence
OF notthavtng enough freight equipment;
S2.6ll,l5 was paid TO foreign roads for
mileage on their cars during the last
twelve months Mr.. Gabbett thinks two
additional tracks in Athens at a cost Of
about 5000 are needed, and that at least
90 new crossties are needed in the yard
at Athens. The number of ties required
on the road during the next twelve months
is 1850, which will cost about 81 75O. THE
roadoed is naturally one of the best. and
is in first-class condition. with an eX-
penditure Of $3.50 for ties and 1886 for
rails a total Of S5,l26. the track at the ex-
piration of twelve months will be in gOod
order.
During the past twelve months the sec
tion gangs consisted of two men during
the winter and three during the summer.
The average cost of labor per month for
the entire road department was $l39.
The trestle work on the road taking 1t
as whole, is in excellent condition.
Mr.. Gabbett shows the organization of
the road to consist of one state agent.
one chief clerk, two clerks and one porter.
and costs $275 per month.
Gov. Atkinson has not yet determined
what Is best TO be done with the road.
The state has to pay $4,000 per annum
interest on the $3.50, 600 OF the bonds of the
road, which she indorsed, but the road
does not earn near that much.

Rail- AND oRossTIE.

The reported excessive falling off in the
traffic and earnings of the Central rail-
road was denied yesterday. The only
foundation for any such reports, Receiver
Conner said is the fact that the movement
OF cotton has fallen off somewhat in
comparison to the amount moved last
year, and in consequence the number Of
hours at the machine shops has been re-
duced one-third. 1t makes little differ
ence in the earnings, he said, but moth
ing like what has been stated. There is
no other reason, he said, than that there
has been falling off in the movement
of cotton, brought about by a variety Of
causes.

Western and Atlantic railroad from Chat
tanooga to Atlanta; the Central railroad
from Atlanta to Macon; the Georgia
Southern, and Florida railroad from Ma
con TO Triton, and the Plant System
from Triton. to Jacksonville This is
calledt the Triton, route, on account
of its short mileage, the excellence of the
.roadbed and equipment and because no
other line. to Florida can compete sue
cessfullY with It. Mr. Charles e. Harmon.
general passenger agent Of the Western
and Atlantic, speaking of the new route
a few days ago said he was delighted with
the change and enlarged upon the adj
vantages of the route, with its double
daily schedules, through Pullman palace
sleeping cars, quick time and excellent
physical condition of the roads embrace
ing the new route. He said For
years l have longed for the OPP
ening Of the Triton route to Flor

that with its short mileage, splendid
Ipadbed, excellent equipment and the
strength Of the Plant System in Florida
no other route to Florida could possibly
successfully compete with the Triton
route. We will have double daily sched-
ules, arriving at Jacksonville at 7:25 a.
