THE RIVER STREET FRANCHISE.
Council to Consider That and Other
Matters Tonight.

Council to Consider That and other
Matters Tonight.
Council will probably be called upon to-
night to consider the River street fran
chise, which has been withheld from the
Central Railroad by a resolution to recon-
slider the grant. The only action In re-
gard to 1t, however, will likely be referring
1t to a committee for thorough investi-
cation.
Commissioner Purse of the freight bu-
reau has prepared a statement which will
be filed to-day, and which sets out in
specific manner, the conditions which the
bureau thinks the city should require of
the railroad. Among other things it is
said the bureau desires to guard against
any possibility of the railroads making Sa-
vannah a way station, while Tybee de-
velops into the metropolis of this section.
Whether the apprehension is well found
ed or not, 1t is certain there is a conspl-
racy to hold Tybee in the sand, though
this effort to establish the terminal by
no means signifies any jealousy of Tybee.
After the matter goes to a committee, it
will likely remain with it some time. The
desire is to act more carefully than before,
and while the railroad will be given suffi-
cient inducement to make the connection,
still the business interests will probably
be properly protected.
It is expected other matters of import
ance will be considered, among them be-
ing the southern section sidewalk ordi-
nance. The property owners have already
been heard on this question, so that the
only thing to be done is to shape the ordi-
nance in accordance with some of the
changes requested There are a few
changes that will not be made for the
ooly. fIn 1So1 ", oil

ATLANTA'S NEW DEPOT FIGHT.
roRuAL, PETITION FILED BEFORE
THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.

City Attorney Anderson Places 1t
before the Commission and 1t Is
Informally Discussed-NO Plan of
Improvement Embodied In the Pc
tition, which Gives the Document
m IrreeuIarity-NO One Able TO
solve the Complicated Problem, as
the Present site Is Leased From
the state-Hearing of the Petition
Set for Oct. 26.
Atlanta. Ga. Sept. 2o-The formal pc
tition by the city of Atlanta 10 compel the
railroads entering the city to give better
depot facilities was filed before the state
Railroad Commission to-day by the city
attorney, Anderson.
After reading the petition and discussing
It Informally with the city attorney, the
commissioners decided to hear the matter
on Oct. %. and orders were issued, citing
all the roads to appear al that time ana
show why Atlanta should not have better
depot facilities.
Under the rules of the commission, when
a petition is presented asking a railroad
TO build a new depot the complaint Is
required 10 suggest a site and present plans
for the Improvement asked for, and At
lanta did not do this, because after all the
agitations of the subject no one has any
plan that will solve the problem. which is
complicated by reason of the fact that the
present depot and site are owned by the
state and leased to the Nashville, Chatta-
Dooga and st. Louis Railway, with the
Western and Atlantic Railroad. The
Western and Atlantic subjects to the other
roads. and as this depot is a valuable
consideration in the lease contract with
the state. the lessees will not abandon il.
The other roads do not want TO build a
new union depot elsewhere, unless the
Western and Atlantic goes into 1t; and
too. the present site is believed to be TOO
small altogether, even if the roads were
willing to build a new depot there on the
states ground to revert to the state at
the expiration of the lease
In this informal discussion to-day the
chairman indicated that he thought the
present site would be used, the city giving
twenty feet of Wall street to allow an en-
largement.
It is not improbable that this outcome
will be a new depot on the present site
after the legislature has been applied TO
for a modification of the lease contract,
which will equalize things.

Trouble in the First District.

Even congressman from Vermont
where congressman are supposed to hold
office for life have to fight for their stalls
at the crib in these days Of uncertainty and
political turmoil. Muttered thunderings
have been heard in the second district, lo
these several years; but Gen. Grout is not
the only Vermont congressman who will
have to fight for his seat, if reports can be
believed; his colleague in the lower house
of congress, the Hon. H. Henry Powers Of
Morristown, has heard that there is trouble
in the first district, and Hon. d. j. Foster
of Burlington is the young man whom the
politicians are talking about. 1t is re-
ported that Mr.. Foster is not averse to be-
ing candidate, although Mr.. Foster HIM
self has not said SO in any published state
ment.
Should Mr.. Foster become a candidate
in dead earnest there are those who pre-
dict warm time in the first district, for be
is young man of ability and wide acquaint-
ance and an adroit politician. A sketch Of
Mr.. Fosters career says:
David johnson Foster was born in Bar.
net, June q, 1857. He was educated al
st. Johnsbury academy, and was a mem.
Der OF the class OF 1880 at Dartmouth col
lege. He began his residence in BurlIng.
ton in that year, and studied law and wa.
admitted to the bar. He has been city
grand juror and school commissioner, wa.
state attorney tor Chittenden county irou
1856 to 1890, normal school examiner iron
1884 to 1886, and senator from Chittender
county in 1892. He was appointed com
missioner OF state taxes in 1894, and reap
pointed in 1896. Mr.. Foster was the frs
president Of the young mems state republi
can club, and leader in bringing that or
ganizauon to the front. His actual politi
cal work, however, has been largely per
formed with older republicans, and he sup
: ported Grout in his canvass for the guber
material nomination in 1896.
