ATLANTA's UNION DEPOT scnEME
Central and Southern OGer the city
So.

Atlanta, Ca. March e3.-President sam
ueI Spencer of the Southern Railway Com
pany. and President Conner Of the Central,
this afternoon submitted to the city coun-
ell a written proposition Offering to con-
tribute $500 toward the building Of a
viaduct over the tracks Of the two COM
panies at Mitchell street.
According to the proposition. the plans
of the vladuct are to be acceptable to the
engineers of the railroad companies, and
made with a view to the building of a new
passenger depot at Mitchell street, where
the old East Tennessee passenger station
was located before that lire gained ad-
mittance TO the present union depot The
city is given until october to accept the
proposition, and the viaduct must be com
peted by july. 1898,
The proposition is the outcome Of the
agitation of the new passenger station
question. A meeting of the railroad pres
idents and the city council committee was
20 have been held here yesterday to dis
cuss the situation, but this conference had
to be declared off on account of the seri-
Gus illness of the wife Of Mayor Collier,
who has been at deaht's door for a week.
The city council some weeks go passed
a resolution, giving notice that unless the
roads came to some conclusion about the
utBOI mater WilliH Sixty udgSs the city
would proceed to condemn the property of
the Central and other roads for the purpose
of building a new bridge at the end of
Alabama street. The Central is strongly
opposed to this claiming that it would
do irreparable damage to it, and the South
ern also Joined In the opposition. 1t is
claimed by President Spencer. who made
a statement to the council committee this
morning, and by President Conner also,
that the building of this Alabama street
bridge would seriously handicap the roads
In building their proposed union passen-
ger depot at Mitchell street. In fact, Pres
ident Spencer said that he was authorized
by President Conner to say that the Cen
trail would fight against the Alabama
street bridge If the city undertakes to
press it.
The Western and Atlantic road is block
ing the way TO the new depot at Mitch
ell street, being unwilling to abandon
the present site, which belongs to the
state. In order to get the city interested
in the Mitchell street location the SIS, 600
was offered.
What will be done, it is impossible to
tell. The public demands some change
from the present depot but the roads are
so seriously divided, and the fact that the
state owns the present site and would
have to be party to any trade, makes
the situation very complicated.

STEAMER HELPLESS AT SEA.
inns WARD LINER NIAGARA LOSES
HER RUDDER.

R-afty-tvvo Passengers Bound From
Nassau 60 New York Put i'm an Anx-
ieus Week-No CIew as to How or
when the Accident Happened 10
the Rudder-Omcers Suspect 1t
Was Tempered with Before She
Left Nassnu-The steamer lowed "a
Charleston.
Charleston. 5. c.. March 2S.-The Ward
line steamship Niagara, Capt. Cracker
was lowed to Charleston bar this morn
ing. She had lost her rudder and Ter
passengers had spent an anxious week
aboard Of her at sea.
Aboard Of her were ifty-two passengers.
most OF whom were tourists bound from
Nassau 10 New York
The ship left the former place at noon.
March l6. In addition to her passengers.
she carried a general cargo of sugar. to-
bacco and hides. Her voyage north was
uneventful till last Thursday. Capt.
Cracker then suddenly discovered that
she failed to respond to her rudder, aA
investigation disclosed the rudder to be
bent and broken. Not the least clue
could be discovered as to when or how
the accident happened.
A jury rudder was rugged up, and the
Niagara attempted to continue her voy-
age, but without much success. Thurs
day night the vessel laid to, trying to keep
her head to a heavy sea that was running.
Friday morning the British steamer
Cairnisla, bound from Sapelo to Rotter-
DAM was sighted and asked for aid. A
hawser was played out to the Niagara
and a towing trip of 200 miles was begun.
The sea, too, was getting heavier, and
the first hawser soon parted, leaving the
Niagara in a perious and helpless condi-
ton for several hours.
Her jury rudder was of very little SER
vice, and more than once she was caught
in the hollow of the big waves rolling so
badly as to greatly excite the fears of her
passengers. Saturday another hawser
was passed to her by the Cairnisla, and
this time the rope held. The two ships
dropped anchor off Charleston bar this
morning.
The Niagara will be towed into port to-
morrow. when her passengers will be for
warded north by rail.
The passengers on the Niagara are all
very comfortably quarted aboard the ship
tonight The officers of the ship con-
tinue to protest that they have not the
least knowledge of how the accident to the
Niagara's rudder occurerd. Some of them
expressed the belief that the gear had
been tempered with before the ship left
Nassau, but no cause for their opinion is
assigned.
The Niagara will remain here until an
ocean tug can be sent to tow her to New
York.

ALBANY's CHAUTAUQUA.
Fourteen Military Companies Kept
Away by the Flood.


Albany Ga, March 2S.-Governor's day
at the Chautauqua proved a great dlsap-
Monument. Owing to the heavy rains yes
terday and the night before, washouts on
every railroad leading out of the city
prevented fourteen of the military com
panies expected from arriving here.
The companies which did come were
the Brunswick Rifles, the Valdosta vi
dettes and the Dawson Guards. The first
named companies were stopped by a
washout nine miles from the city, but
waded and swan Pineywoods creek and
got into the city in a badly bedraggled
condition.
The governor and quite a number of his
staff arrived last night.
The programme of the Chautauqua is
being carried out in spite of the bad
weather.
The parade took place this afternoon,
and was reviewed by the governor, after
which he delivered an address.
After the governors address prize
drill. for a gold medal offered by the
Chautauqua for the best drilled man, vas
participated in by two men from each
company, and was won by Sergt. A. j.
Scott of the Albany Guards.
There is some promise of the weather
clearing, and if So the balance of the
programme will be a success.
Sam Jones, who delivers two lectures
here on Saturday, and breaches the clos
ing sermon on Sunday, is expected TO
bring a tremendous crowd II they can
get here. The present programme Is the
most expensive the Chautauqua has ever
arranged, and the bad weather is playing
havoc with the gate receipts.
