Commission.
Atlanta. Ca May I.-The Southern
railway and the South Carolina and Geor-
eia railroad through their traffic mana
GERS ]. NJ. CUP and l.. A. Emerson
have notified the receivers of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad that after May 30 they
will moi take shipments of fruit, berries
aud vegetables routed via the Baltimore
and Ohio for delivery in Philadelphia, New
York and eastern cities.
A circular signed by Messrs. Culp and
Emerson has been sent to fruit and vege-
table growers in Carolina to the same ef-
feet
II is stated by the southern representa-
tive of the Baltimore and Ohio that the
reason for this order is that the Southern
is moved by pressure from the Pennsyl-
vania road. accompanied by therat to
divert business from the Southern to the
Atlantic Coast Line.
The same authority says that Mr.. Emer-
son received a letter from traffic official
of the Pennsylvania road, iutimating that
the business of that system southwark
would be diverted to the Atlantic Coast
Line if fruit and vegetables continued to
go north via the Baltimore and Ohio. 1t
is sad that Mr.. Emerson at first resented
this dictation, and was not disposed to
submit. but finally did so after a confer
ence with Mr. CUP of the Southern, who
visited him about May A. 1t is stated by
this gentleman that Mr.. Culp told Mr.
Emerson that the Pennsylvania road was
bringing pressure to bear.
This is said to be the result of an ag-
gressive policy lately adopted by the Bal
tiniore and Ohio in carrying fruit and veg
etables into territory of the Pennsylvania
road The Baltimore and Ohio has f1ne
facilities for handling fruit, truck and
perishable goods in Philadelphia and other
eastern cities and by a traffic arrange
ment with the Southern railway was re-
such business, which it carried to Phila-
delphia and New York. This business
has been delivered by the Southern to the
Baltimore and Ohio at Alexandria, Va.
The Southern having extended It's connec-
tions into Florida by way of the Georgia
Southern and Florida road and having
ample facilities for reaching the business
in Southern Georgia, South Carolina and
Atlantic coast territory, as well as in Lou
isiana was able to deliver an immense
volume of remunerative traffic to the
Baltimore and Ohio at Alexandria
The Baltimore and Ohio claims to have
maintained rates and given good service
claiming superior facilities at some points
of delivery OF late it is said that ship,
pers of fruit have been induced to give
that road most of their business This
stirred up the Pennsylvania people and
moved them to take the action reported.
Just what steps will be taken under the
return to the old conditions are unknown
at present, but a legal fight is expected.

DEPARTURE OF THE DAUNrLEss.
The Filibustering Excitement at
Fernandina Subsidies.

Fernandina Subsidies.
Fernandina, Fla, May 21.-The flibus-
tering excitement has subsided and Col.
~ B. Borden returned from Jacksonville
this morning, where he went yesterday
after the excitement of the night before,
in company with Capt. Lewis and Mr.. Fri
tot
The only signs that remains to tell of
the excitement of the night before is the
famous little yacht Minim, that shows the
roughness of the waves she bravely rode
on the night of the 18th, when she did
such good work in landing men and ma
terial aboard the Dauntless for Cuba.
1t was blowing a gale on that night and
when the little craft had done her work
and set all sails for her homeward run,
and when just over the bar, the new fore
mast parted under the heavy wind and
left her in an almost helpless condition,
with but a small sail to bring her in. She
could not reach her mooring, but anchor
ed on the north side of the river, where
Capt. Lewis, Mr.. Fritot and Col. Borden
took the small boat for shore.
Col Borden was seen to-day, but has
nothing to say in regard to the boat which
took the expedition or anything of a fill
clustering nature. Suffice to say he is all
smiles and seems thoroughly contented
with his work.

TWO MuRDERERs FIGHT.
Both Awaiting Execution and One of
Them Badly Cut.

Tampa. Fla, May 21.-Tom Milton and
Harry Singleton, two negroes sentenced
to hang, and now confined in Jail in this
city, had a bloody battle in the corridor
of the upper steel cell tonight.
They were let into the corridor about
dark, and the lie was given, when they
clinched, and Milton threw Singleton to
the floor and tried to kill him with large
empty bottle which was. broken on the
floor. About this time Jailer Blount arriv-
ed at the door and called upon them to
desist, and asked for an explanation.
While Singleton was explaining Milton
jumped on him. Singleton had a dirk in
his hand and began stabbing Milton. They
grappled and wrestled around the corri-
dor, the jailer calling upon them to stop.
while the widest confusion prevailed
among the other inmates of the jail. Sin
gleton piled the knife until Milton caught
him by the wrist. Another prisoner in
the cage then disarmed the men. The
sheriff soon arrived with a doctor, and
Milton, bathed in blood. was found to
have five painful, but not necessarily IA
tal wounds. One is on the head, three
on the left shoulder and one in the back
The cage was searched, and razor, two
knives and pair of scissors were found.
A hatchet was found in the cell Monday.

A Man Elected From n Train Loses
His suit Against the Southern.
Atlanta, Ga, May 21.-An important de-
cision was made to-day by Judge II. M.
Reid in non-suiting the case of Rev. Lee
n. Robinson against the Southern rail-
way Robinson is a negro preacher from
Palatka Fla, who came to Atlanta in
September, 1895, to attend a convention of
the colored Baptists. He had purchased
a round trip ticket and signed it at Pa
latka. The contract on the ticket stipu-
lated that Robinson should present it at
the validating office in this city and iden-
tify himself to the satisfaction of the
agent When he had identified himself
the agent was to stamp the ticket which
would then be good for the return pas
sage Robinson claimed that the validating
agent was unreasonable in his demands,
and refused to be convinced of the preach
er's Identify. Robinson went out and
found a student at one of the colored uni
versities who Identified him, but the agent
still refused to stamp the ticket as the
student was not known to him. Robinson
got on the train anyway and was put on,
to his great chagTin, modification and IN
convenience He sued the Southern rail-
way on the ground that their validating
agent had been negligent.
The attorneys for the railway company
held that they had made no contract with
Robinson and were not liable for damages.
Tney claimed the contract was made be-
tween the negro and the Jacksonville,
Tampa and Key West railroad from
which he purchased the ticket. The val
idating agent, they insisted. was no more
their agent than that of the Atlanta and
West Point or the Central railroad. II
was claimed. too, that the contract al
lowed the agent the broadcast scope i'm
validating tickets, and he could be un-
reasonably hard to satisfy IL he cared to.
