Matters of Interest to savannah ana
Elsewhere.

The railroad commission will hear the
case Of Brewer Hanleiter Of Griffin
against the roads on Tuesday, April %.
This Is the case in which that firm has
peutioned the commission to compel the
railroads to make horizontal cut of 1878
per cent. in all freight rates. The defen-
dants have been served with notices to
appear. The representatives of the sa-
vanah roads win go up tomorrow night

The last vestibule trains of the season,
south bound, will pass through to-day on
both the Florida Central and Peninsuar
and Plant system. The last north bound
trains over both roads viii pass through
on Tuesday. These trains have carried a
great many tourists this season, particu-
larry within the last six weeks.
1t IS said that the Florida Central and
Peninsular has found its dining car serv-
ice aboard its vestibule trains very profit
able this season. This service is given by
the road Independent of its connections.
1t is said that the receipts of the dining
cars have trebled that of last year, a cir
cumstance that is accredited to the large
ly augmented travel of this year over last.
The meeting of the traffic and executive
officials of all the lines in the southeast,
that was to have been held April "A, at
Atlanta, has been indefinitely postponed.
This meeting, it will be remembered, was
to have been held for the
purpose Of perfecting the organi-
cation of the new Southeastern Freight
Association that was to succeed the pres
ent Southern States Association. Just at
the time Of the last meeting at Richmond,
when the new association was about TO
have its organization gotten well under
way the news came of the
supreme courts adverse decision
in the case against the trans-Missouri
association, and it was later decided that
the intended meeting for the consumma-
ton of the business should be postponed.
The roads of the southeast desire to wait
until the attorneys for the big roads pass
judgment upon the courts decision and
give their opinion as 20 the legality Of
associations and agreements. 1t is stil
their intention, II the law is not thereby
infractcd to form the association on the
lines practically adopted at Richmond.

passenger agent of the Florida Central

The Baltimore Sun speaking OF
the suicide of Judge Joel L. Olive

of Judge Olives suicide that is
suggested is his removal from the

Chicago, having been appointed to
sncceed him last Friday. The do
parament's notification probably
had JUST reached l:im, ana his
suicide, it is thought, may .},ave
been due to the change. Judge
