The Struggle Sill On.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 5.-There are no
signs of a cessation in the rate war
between the Seaboard Air Line aud the
Southern Railway. On the contrary,
everything points to one of the longest
and bitterest struggle in the history of
American railroads. As each new
move in the fight is made the situation
grows more com licated and the pros
pects of an early adjustment Of their
differences seem more remote.
The Bay Line has filed with the In
terstate Commerce Commission new
tariff, effective September I, between
Norfolk. Portfmouth and Old Poin
Comfort, and Baltimore, Wilmington
Philadelphia, New York, and Boston
This tariff is said 10 be based on a re-
duction of about 80 to 10 pei
cent. This means that the wal
is being extended by the Sea
board 10 the farthest possible limits
Thus far the only new tariff filed by
the Southern only affects those points
ia the South reached by bath lines, and
in he printed tariff no reference j;
made to other points. The Southern
Railway has not announced 4 reduction
OF passenger fares to meet the cut made
by the Seaboard.
It appears that the Southern States
Passenger Association will try to con
fine the fight to competitive point:
rather than make general reduction
with the loss that would ensue.

WAYMAN SUTToN's WIFE. No little
surprise was exhibited at Wytheville
when Wayman Sutton received letter
from his wife, who has been living al
Sweetwater, Tenn, for the past two
years, stating that in that time she had
obtained a divorce from him on the
ground of his penal service for helm
Gus crime and had married another
man. She went further in her letter,
and said she had been wholly unable to
support her children, and this had
forced her to take such step That if
he, Sutton. desired it, she would pro-
cure divorce from the man OF her sec
ond marriage, and return TO him. SUIT
ton was greatly shocked by the con-
fession, and was completely undone.
The letter from his wife was the first
intimation of her unfaithfulness. He
left for Sweetwater on the next train
to get his children.
The court records of Wytheville do
not show eny proceedings in the mat
ter of divorce of Wayman Sutton's wife.
She never got divorce there, but it is
accepted as true there that she has
married since her residence in Tennes
see, so she must have been divorced in
in that State. She wrote Sutton after
he left Wytheville and went to Rural
Retreat (his old home) OF her marriage.
This was in answer TO letter from him
while he was in Wytheville, telling her
of his whereabouts and when he would
be with her and the children. Sutton
