waged in Savannah for 8 year or moro

manent settlement OF the differences
bet 'een the conflicting interests or
not remains 10 be seen. The Propeller
Tow boat company and the Bristol
Towboat' company are The concerns
that have bean lighting Zach other for
some time. Under the agreement now
in force they will each be just as active
for business as eyer, but it will not be
taken at such ruinous rates as it has
been. The new order OF things has
been in vogue for several days and it
seems to be working well for both
companies.
"The rates agreed upon for outward
tonnage are 15c. per ton for foreign
vessels and 100 per ton for coastwise
vessels. This is an advance oyer the
cut rate, which was practically any,
thing the towboat company catching
the vessel could get, but 1t 10 not quite
as high as the old rate, before the op-
position company began doing busi-
ness. There is no agreement as to the
rate to be charged incoming vessels.
The captain of the tug sighting the
vessel can make the price for this SER
vice. The agreement provides, how
ever, that the tug first sighting and
speaking vessel is not to be interfersd
with by tugs of the opposing COM
pany."

Polish farmer, was srrsstrA by the
stockyard's police with s210 in confed-
crate money in his possession. He
had attempted to pass the money on
Frank geaschkY, barkeepsr.
MoozerZuY could not speak English
aud evidently was much surprised at
the treatment he received at the hands
of the police. He could not tell where
be got the money, and did not appear
to know that it was not good. The police
believe the man received the money
from persons who have been putting
it into circulation in the district.
