AUGUSTA sOUTHERX's GAUGE.

An Agreement Reached by which 1t
Is Ia BE BrOadened at Once.
Augusta, Ga. July 1.-THE delay in the
coming Of the narrow guage railroad into
Augusta was ended to-day by an agree
ment entered into by the attorneys Of both
sides before the appraisers. The board If
appraisers, ]. J. Doughty, W. ]. Craig
and w. II. Barrett, Jr., met in the supe-
rior court room TO begin taking testimo-
ny looking to the condemnation of the
strip at issue and the assessment of its
value.
Frank II. Miller, for the Augusta and
savannah, asked for a continuance on the
grounds that he had Just returned from a
session of the supreme court; that Mai.
Hamilton Wilkins, an important witness
p absent; that the president of the Augusta
and Savannah and Receiver Conner of the
central railroad could not be present; and,
generally, 1t would be unfair at such short
notice to force them to a hearing.
Leonard Phinizy, for the Augusta South
ern, said ii was extremely important, as
FAR as the August Southern was con-
cerned, that the hearing should go on.
His associate. Boykin Wright, was even
now absent from the city, but he felt
II a necessity to go ahead without him.
Fie had had time since the announcement
90 nave all MS witnesses present. Mr..
Phinizy took the general ground that
the other side were trying to delay mat
tiers.
An agreement was finally reached among
the attorneys that on condition that the
hearing to place the value of the contested
strip be postponed, their side would in no
way interfere with the broadening of the
guage of the Augusta Southern; that the
latter road could go ahead with its work
with all the rights that might be subse-
quently granted by the road, the only stip-
ulatlon on the part of the Augusta and
Savannah being that the matter Of assess
ment of the value of the property be post
poned to some future time Then it was
agreed that this hearing should occur on
Sept. TO- which day was inserted in the
agreement and the Instrument was signed.
President jackson said afterward that
before that time the supreme court win
decide the question now before it and that
he believes that the ruling will he that
the Augusta Southern has the right tc
broaden its gauge on the strip under the
original agreement with the Central rail-
road In which case the Augusta Southern
will not have to pay for the property a:
all.
President Jackson also said: I'VE will
have our road broad gauged TO point be-
yond Keysvilfe by tomorrow afternoon.
A large force of hands will be put to
work on the disputed strip and by Monday
we will be running broadguage trains to
Keysville.'
