IN THE RAILROAD WORLD.
The General Passenger Agents on
the 2-Cent Mileage,

The petition of the Travellers Protective
Association for mileage books, good for
1000 miles, at cents a mile, was one of
the most important matters coming be-
fore the state railroad commission that
met the other day in Atlanta.
Twenty representatives of the roads were
present and a great deal of evidence was
furnished by them. Mr. j. c. Halle, gem
eral passenger agent of the Central, tes-
tilted that the railroads could not afford
to make the reduction that is asked, for
the reason, among others, that the Scent
rate would suffer If the 2-cent rate should
be put on. He did not believe the reduc-
ton asked would mean much to any one
commercial house, but, to the roads, II
granted, it would be followed by great
loss. He said the Central tried the plan
of a 2-cent mileage book once, but found
it Improbable.
Col b. w. Wrenn, passenger traffic man.
ager of the Plant system, gave his testi7
money on the matter. He went over the
ground completely and endeavored to show
that the roads would lose by the change,
If 1t should be adopted. He said the
northern roads could afford to give cheaper
rates on account of the much greater
population to the mile in the north than
In the south.
Mr.. H. c. McFadden, assistant general
passenger agent Of the Plant sys-
tenn, leaves to-day to represent his road at
the meeting of the rate committee of the
Southern States Passenger Association to
be held at the Hotel Marlborough in New
York Tuesday. Mr.. j. c. Halle, general
passenger agent of the Central of Georgia,
now in Atlanta attending the meeting Of
the railroad commission will represent his
road at the New York meeting
All the western roads have been asked
by the Mobile and Ohio to join It in a
series OF homeseekers excursions that 1t
proposes to run during the coming year
The rate for these excursions will be one
fare for the round trip, plus 81, and the re-
turn limit will be twenty-one days. The
western lines will probably settle the mat
ter at their meeting this week.
The masters report on the Intervention
Of George NJ Nichols in the Central rail-
road litigation has been filed IN the United
States court. The Intervention claimed
siGs.O5. but the master, Mr.. George w
owens decided neither the Central nor the
receivers we're liable for the amount and
found against the iDtervenor The matter
is yet to come before Judge Speer.

1t has been reported that Nine Nordica
has returned to Europe, and therefore will
not be among the attractions at the Music
Culture Club concerts this season. The ru-
NOR of her return to Europe is correct but
she will sing here at the first concert about
Nov. u. She is very busy woman in her
profession, even if she is very high sala-
ried, and cannot AFFORD to remain inactive
for several weeks during her busy season.
She arrived in America a few days before
ming an engagement at the annual music
festival at Worcester, Mass, beginning
Sept. d. Immediately after completing this
engagement she sailed again for Europe,
where she is now filing an operate en-
gagement at Bayreutte, and will sail again

make his first appearance at Carnegie mu-
sic hall in New York, Nov 10, at a special

the great pianist. He will be here some
time in December. VIM H. Rieger the
leading New York tenor, will be part of
the Nordica concert. He also sang at the
Worcester festival. He furnishes one of
the few instances where the voice of the

man.
