The Rate War Grows Hot.
Reduction of the Price Of Trans
portation Extended to the Pas.
senger Service.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, May The most
gigantic rate war 10 the history of rail-
roads in the Southern States has broken
ont and every road South Of the Ohio
and Potomac River and some Eastern
lines are involved. The trouble has
been brewing for some time. Three OF
four, lines have been secretly cutting
rates on Eastern business for a month
past, thereby reaping a rich harvest.
The other roads % discovered the
cut and demanded that the guerilla
warfare cease. The Southern Railway
and Steamship Association vas asked
to interfere aud put a stop to the rate
cutting. but Chairman Stahlman was
unable to bring about q settlement and
advised the roads that had stood by the
agreement to 60 into the fight for blood.
As q, result the Louisville aud Nash
vile. the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia, the Tennessee Midland,
the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmipg-
ham and the Nashville. Chattanooga
and St. Louis railroads to-day posted
a notice that q reduction of 60 per
cent on freight to and from Eastern
points would take effect on June 2.
The notice of the cut created no
little excitement in railroads circles,
but it vas not thought that passenger
rates would be disturbed. The idea
was dispelled late this afternoon, how
ever, when the Tennessee Midland
posted a notice Of sweeping cut 10 pas
senger tickets to Eastern and Northern
points. The Louisville and Nashville
promptly met the reduction and an.
nounced that it vas in the fight to the
6uish. The other lines have not met
the passenger cuts yet, but they are
expected to do 80 tomorrow.

there has been . crusade against

Of sustaining peculiar relations to

The Groom Wound up His
Watch.

1T Is remarkable. SAID a prom.
nent city clergyman lately. with
what nonchalapce some bridgegroorns

derstand it, for when I was married
my knees wobbled so that I was pro.
voked because l had not strapped them
together before the trying ordeal begun.
But the GOODNESS and complaceucy
with which some of the men who
come to the parsonage to be married
60 through the thing are a revelation
to me. and make me believe that 1 had
no nerve at all.
"Of course" be continued, "the
people who come unannounced to the
parsonage to be married are generally
Of the plain sort. They dress plainly
and frequently have delightfully."- fresh
and original manners and ways Of doing
things. But you must acknowledge
that even to a clergyman who has read
the service over hundreds Of trembling
couples it is startling to have the
bridegroom at the most solemn part
take out his Waterbury watch and be-
gin to wind it up in the most method
ical way imaginable. But that is just
what happened here last week. Was
reading the formal cb.rge to the :msn

awe-iuspiring. The bridegroom, who
was a big, NUMBERING fellow, followed
one for q time With considerable inter-
est. Then be suddenly took oct his
watch and began to wind it. / let him
20 on for u few seconds, and then I
realized that it was a Waterbury, and
might last all the rest of the cere-
mony. So I stopped short and looked
at the man in q friendly way, but he
didn't comprehend at all what was the
matter-and all this time the steady
click. click of the winder vas to be
heard.
ut was very Notifying to me that
my dignity was not overwhelming
enough to make that man stop short,
but it didn't, aud I had to speak to
him."
The clergyman sighed at the thought
Of bis trials. Then a pair from the

Of course, right hands, they clasped

me that the first sin was washed away
