FREE Trips ron MERCHANTS.
The Savannah Freight BureaV Con-
sideriug such "a Plan

Ihe savannah freight bureaU Con-
sidering such "a plan.
Commissioner d. G. Purse OF the Sa-
vannah Bureau OF Freight and Transpor-
tation has had under consideration for
some time the matter Of providing a
scheme for free transportation 10 and
from Savannah, for such merchants I'm
the country or IN other towns in this
section, as win purchase their stock of
goods from the merchants Of this city.
Tho fact that New Orleans has taken
this matter up only shows that that city
knows a good thing when It sees Il, but
New Orleans has been one OF the most
recent cities to adopt the plan. The
scheme is an old one, and has been IN use
In some of the western cities for several
years, notably, st, Joseph, Mo, which
sends out a circular to the trade every
year, rendering free transportation 10 and
from that city TO those who 90 there to
make their seasons purchases.
OF course this free transportation Is
given with the understa nding that such
purchases must be made In the city 10
which the transportation is given, and
from the merchants who are members
of the association through which the plan
Is worked. Capt. Purse has a letter from
Mr.. c. r. Green, manager of a prominent
commercial house in St. Joseph. inclosiug
one of the circulars issued by the Jobbers'
transportation Bureau of that city. These
circulars are sent out generally, and name
the condition on which the free Transport
to furnishing such free transportation Is
prOrated among the merchants who are
members of the bureau. Capt. Purse has
for some time been considering the mat
and thinks II would work well, and TO the
clty's advantage.

Progress of the Plant Systems Re
lief and Hospital Department.
Chief Surgeon F. II. Caldwell of the
Plant system relief and hospital depart
ment has started on his tour Of inspec-
tion. and is expected to be in Savannah
to-day. He went over to Charleston a
few days ago. accompanied by his chief
clerk, A. +. Hess, and he expects to be
Joined to-day by DR.. S. r. Barr, superin-
tendent of the relief department of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad DR.. Barr
has had considerable experience in this
line, and has consented 10 come down and
go over the Plant system with DR.. Cald-
wen and TO give any information he can
concerning the organization and conduct
of such a department.
The work of organization has progressed
very favorably so far, and the employees
generally seem to like the idea. The de-
partment is organized in a manner very
similar to that of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, and DR.. Bars personal inspec-
ton and the information he can give
with regard to II win be quite valuable.
The department is now engaged in en-
rolling the names of those employees who
expect to become members, and this
means practically every employee of the
road. Those who thoroughly understand
the plan do not hesitate 10 indorse il. and
it Is believed within a few months the
name of every employe Of the system will
be enrolled.

THE TOURIST RATE QUESTION.
The Trunk Line Associations Reso-
luton Refusing Them.

The Trunk Line Associations Reso-
luton Refusing Them.
A copy Of an extract from the minutes
Of the Trunk Line Passenger Association
of a meeting held July Z. which states
the action taken with regard to the cues
ton of winter tourist rates for Charles
ton and Savannah has been sent to all the
passenger departments of the railroads in
the Southern States Passenger Association
by Commissioner Richardson.
The resolution on the subject Is rather
emphatic and fatty refuses to grant the
rates asked for The circular is as fol-
lows:
The request for winter tourist represen-
tation to Charleston and Savannah was
again brought forward for consideration,
the parties interested being extremely de-
sIrous that a decision should be reached.
After some discussion II was unanimously
Resolved, That the chairman cOmmuni-
cate with Messrs. Purse and Smith, advis-
ing that their application for winter tour
list representation to Savannah and
Charleston has been fully considered by
this committee, and that the members are
agreed 1t would be unwise to grant tho
same. as 1t would form precedent for
similar applications in favor of other
points ii being further their opinion that
such representation should be restrfcred
rather than extended.
This is taken as final, and the only
course Savannah and Charleston have to
pursue now IS to work the matter through
other channels. As stated yesterday. Com
missioner d. g. Purse of the freight bu-
reau says the matter will be taken be-
fore the interstate commerce commission

IMPROVEMENTS AT WESLEY.

for "A New Entrance.

The Congregation to Consider Plans
for "A New Entrance.
A meeting Of the congregation Of wes-
ley Monumental church will he held to-
morrow after the morning service to con-
slider the proposed change in the entrance
to the church edifice and to provide means
for building it.
The present entrance to the auditorium
is through the main entrance TO the
church building, and then by means OF
narrow and crooked stairways, up to the
auditorium floor. 1t is inconvenient, ami
even dangerous, IN event of the necessity
for an immediate emptying Of the audi
torlum of an audience at any time The
narrow stairs make II impossible to use
the auditorium for funeral purposes
The plan proposed is TO reconstruct the
main entrance by building broad steps
leading up from the side walk direct to
the auditorium floor. This viii necessi-
tate occupying about ten feet of the side
walk on the Abercorn street side of the
church. The church board has petitioned
the city council for permission to build
the steps. The matter is in the hands OF
the committee of the whole. There is no
doubt, however, that the permission will
be granted, as it is an Improvement, ana
win add greatly to the appearance of the
church building, and VIII not in any eX-
tent encroach upon the sidewalk.
1t Is the purpose of the church board
to begin the work as soon a : the arrange
ments can be made for 1t, and to have il
completed with the other improvements
now in progress on the building.
The frame work of the spires Is COM
plete and the metal covering for the north
spire is about half on The covering OF
the south spire has not yet begun.
The building is being plastered on the
outside, and when all of the improvements
have been completed il will be- both in

night with the Southern Railway Company,
therefore. Il Is practically untrammeied
until the association takes a hand as Il
no doubt VIII do. and then the situation
may be made interesting for the aggres-
scr. On one occa sion. about a year ago,
a well known line made a heavy reduction
in rates, similar 20 this, when under au-
thority OF the association IT'S competitors
went In and made "a reduction which was
about three times as large as that first
made by the aggressor. This brought the
FIRST line 10 terms. and there has been no
trouble since
a well-known railroad man was asked
II any OF the lines would take action in
the matter before the meeting OF the eX-
ecutive board on Tuesday He replied
that II they were intcrfercd with in any
way by the reductions made they would
undoubtedly protect themselves as they

Quarantine Cnse to Go to sweden

and NOrvay's Consul General.
Acting Vice Consul Rankin for Sweden
and Norway continued his investigation
yesterday of the damage to the clothing
of the officers and crew Of the Norwegian
bark Adel and Sabina from fumiga ton
at quarantine, concerning which there
has been serious complaint on the part
of the masters of the Norwegian banks
Adel and Sabina and Guldregn.
The acting vice consul visited the Abel
and Sabina, went through the vessel and
inspected the clothing and oil skins that
had been through the fumigating process
and which Capt. Jorgensen claimed had
been damaged so that they were practi-
cally Valueess. He will submit a fun re-
port of his Investigations TO the consul
general for Norway and Sweden at New
York for the government.
One Of the things which the shipmasters
complain Of most seriously is the en-
phatic language of the health officer, in
which he characterized their charges
against the quarantine as lies. They stih
insist that the charges are true, in spite
of the report of the sanitary commission
which, after investigation, found them un-
supported. They propose to place the mat
ter before their government for such ac-
ton as ii may take.

Campaign EIPsnse BlIIs.

The expense bills filed with the clerk of the board of supervisors are
 tame, prosaic reading, compared to
 some which have been published.
 They consist of plain statement of
 facts and figures. It may be inter esting tO voters to know what the expense of campaign amounts to. The report filed by the democratic central committee shows that S2,l00 was raised by the cOmmitte. the en- tire amount being raised through assessment Of candidates. the assess
 ments ranging from S5O0 for the candidate for sheriff, down to $50 for ! legislative candidates. The heayi- est expenditure was for the news papers, $500 being paid out for printing, of which the Courier re- ceived S4OO and the Jerome News SlOO- Next m size was the music bIll, S3S5, and the e1pe st ot speak CTS amounted to Sl75. Alter paying all expenses, the statement shows a balance on hand amounting to S2l6. The republican committee worried along with a total during the cam paign of SI,056.35, of which S6l5 was received from candidates and the balance was raised by private subscription. The highest assess ment was Sl50 and the lowest S25. The sum of Sl3S-50 was paid to the party paper for printing. while the committees postage bill amounted to Sl47.50. The highest individual expense is S640.25, while the lowest one amounts to S23.
 Captain W. F. R. Schindler filed statement on behalf of the populist central committee, showing that the committee had made no assessments, raised no money by subscription, and hence had made no disburse- ments.
 The individual bills filed were for horse hire, meals and lodging. aside from the amounts paid as assess meuts.
 A few of the candidates have not yet filed any expense bills at all.
 The P. & A. c. tax question, three suits, was up before the dictrict court today, and were tried and taken under advisement. The cases are entitled H. c.

C. railroad, prior to its being taken up, there being three years taxes due. The road was as sessed one year, by the territorial board of equalization, as a railroad, when an affidavit was filed alleging that 1t was not a railroad and should have been assessed as personal property and taxed as such. The next year 1t was assessed as personal property, when the same parties who had sworn that it was not a railroad but personal property, made atfidaAit that 1t was a railroad and should have been assessed as such. Bonds for the full amount of the taxes have been given in each case.
