NO AGREEMENT YET REACHED.
Telephone Companies Have Not Come
10 Terms.

President d. A. Tyson of the Tyson Long
Distance Telephone Company returned
yesterday to Swainsboro. after looking
after few matters with regard to the
operation Of his line in Savannah. Every
thing is now in readiness to receive bust
ness.
There is stin talk of an agreement with
the Bell Telephone Company, by which
the two lines viii operate mutually. The
matter has already been discussed by
President Tyson and Manager Polk, as a
result of which the terms of the agree
ment which, it was thought, might be
reached have been forwarded to the
executive officers of the Bell company.
Manager Polk stated yesterday he had
received nothing from the home office in
regard to the matter, but expected a reply
soon. Until he hears from the home Office,
however. he declines to discuss the mat
ter, or to give his impression as to the out
look of an agreement between the com
panIes.
II is understood the only bar to 4an
agreement is the requirement that the Ty-
son company shall use the Bell company
instruments along its line. nasmuch as
the relation between the companies will
only be to connect their lines at intervals
for the convenience of patrons, and to re-
main entirely Independent of each other,
the Tyson company does not desire to
use any of the property or equipment of
the other. The company has no objection
to buying Instruments outright of the Bell
company, which would be a greater saw
ID
Whether this difference win interfere with
the proposed arrangement enough to block
the deal is not known, but the great con-
venience TO the patrons of both companies
Will likely induce concessions that will
bring about an understanding of some
kind.
The Tyson company now has connec-
tons established with Bloomingdale, Mel
drim, Blichton. Arcoia, Statesboro, Sum
nit, Graymount Swainsboro StillmoIe,
Covena, Rentz. RiXVille, Adrian, Odom-
vile, Ethel, BlackViile, Penalton, Lothian,
Mount Vernon, Dublin, Wrightsville, Ten
mile, SandersVille, LoVett, BreWton, Har-
rison. Dexter, Spring Haven, Jeffersonville,
Danville, Montrose, Riuer, Kite, Wadley,
Louisville, BARROW, kilburn DurdenYille
and Macon.
The rate for a message from one 10
twenty-five words is % cents; on return
messages, / cent a word each way; CONVEX
satons of five minutes duration are %
cents, and for each additional five minutes
the charge is Is cents
The company viii shortly have local con-
nection, so that messengers may be called
by those desiring to send their written
messages to the exchange for transmits
sion, without going there themselves. 1t
Is 10 avoid this Inconvenience that the
mutual arrangement is proposed by which
patrons of either company may speak di-
rect.

weeks ago the crop was in magnificent

then, has thrown il back and the point
his been reached where much more rain
will have a decidedly bad influence on the

officials OF the Central and of the Geor-
gia and Alabama roads, which are big
cotton moving roads, have been keeping
close watch over the cotton outlook along
their lines, and are becoming uneasy at
the changed conditions. The plants, it is
reported are shedding and are showing A
strong tendency to run to weed as a re-
suit of the repeated rains. Outside of
This. the farmers are having the usual
trouble incidental TO a rainy season in
keeping the grasses and weeds from crowd
ing out the cotton plants. The course of
the weather for the next few weeks means
much to the factors and the transportation
departments of the roads, as well as 10

From Texas come reports of damage to

COST OF MOVING THE TROOPS.
s33, 600 TO CARRY A REGIMENT
FROM TAMPA TO MONTAUK POINT.

Plant system and F. C. & p. railroads
Preparing to Handle the Soldiers
From Florida Camps as They Are
Sent NOrth-HOw the Fare and
baggage Is Figured On-CentraI to
Take Men From Fort Mcpherson to
st. simOns.
The Plant System and the Florida Cen
trail and Peninsular Railroad are both
expecting and in a measure preparing to
move troops northward. The impression
exists in railroad circles, and 1t is evil
IDENTIFY based on advices from Washington,
doned as camp, and that such of the
troops as do not go to Porto Rico will
be sent North TO Montauk Point, the east
ern end of Long Island.
It is also believed that soldiers are to
be moved from Fernandina and from
Lakeland, both of which places have con-
siderable troops, to Montauk. The Flor
ida Central and Peninsular is understood
to anticipate that orders will be forth
coming at an early date for the transpor-
tation Of the Sixth Cavalry from Fernan-
dina, and the Plant System evidently
looks for a similar movement from the
end of it's lines.
Montauk is !, $50 miles from Tampa
where there are now probably five regi-
ments encamped OF this distance the
Plant System has five hundred miles of
track. A rate of cents a mile is made
for the transportation of troops, which
would give the Plant System about $40
for each soldier hauled from Tampa over
its lines on the way to Montauk, or for a
full regiment about $4,000. There is a
charge for excess baggage, but as each
soldier is allowed $50 pounds, the aggre-
gate allowance for the regiment of about
100000 pounds, practically precludes any
excess charges.
The entire transportation expense
on a regiment for the entire dis
tance to Montauk Point, from Taupa
would be about $4,000 There would he no
change of cars all the way through from
Tampa to Jersey City, and the Plant
| system would, of course, derive some in
come from the use of its cars over the
lines of the other companies. To move
three regiments would mean an expendi-
Iure by the government for fares of over
$lOO,OoO War is a costly necessity
The haul of the Florida Central and
Peninsu,ar over its lines on the way from
ternandina to Montauk is said to be
about 275 miles. which would give it about
$500 for the transportation of a regiment
OF zoo men, The horses. Of course, go as
freight and their removal from one point
TO another is a big item of expense to the
war department and of income to the
railroads.
The Central Railroad expects to move
about 20 soldiers from Fort Mcpherson
tomorrow to st. Simons Island. II is
not known whether they will come through
Savannah or not.
The Central Railroad officials said last
night that they had not yet received any
orders 10 move the Macon troops. but
that they are expecting orders any time.

FUNERAL OF On. MARTIN.
Father KeiIey's EuIoGy on the Life
of the Dead Physician.

Oh the Oebu Phys1c1an.
The funeral of DIR. John D. Martin yes
terday morning was largely attended by
the friends of the deceased, Many gather
ed at the house and followed the remains
to st. Patrick's Church. where others had
gathered to await the services for the
dead.
The Georgia Hussars, dismounted, and
under the command of Capt Bierne Cor
don, were drawn up in front of the church
during the services. There were delega-
tons present from the Georgia Medical
Society, the Hibernian Society and the
Savannah Rifle Association. The church
was well filled during the services, which
were conducted by Rev. Father Kelley
In his brief eulogy the vicar general
referred to the constant tender soltcitude
of the deceased for his mother as an at
tribute attesting his innate nobility of
character. This love and respect for her
merited that in the providence of God in
the last days of his life he should have the
time and the opportunity for reconciliation
with God, that he should turn as a child
to the shelterng arms of the mother when
the night of his long day of life came.
Referring to the esteem in which the
dead man was held in his professional
character. Father Kelley said that the
physician occupied a position which. as 10
trust, responsibility and the sacred char
acter Of its relations, was second only TO
that of the clergy. No position dealing
entirely with things secular is so sacred
as that of the doctor. He stands at the
very threshold of life, as well as at The
pale of death. He is brought daily face IN
face with the wonderful mysteries of bu-
man life. lie should have a firm hold on
the divine faith and a firm trust in The
divine providence.
Father Kelley said that he had no besi-
| fancy in accepting the unanimous verdict
of those who knew Dr. Martin thar in oll
the relations of a physician he was the
| embodiment of honor and never recreon,
to the duties that fell to him.
After the services the Hussars escort
cd the body as far as Price street. There
were many friends who ACCOMPANIED tb,
remains TO the cemetery. The coffin bore
a Confederate flag and some beautiful
floral designs.
Or. Martin during the yellow fever eDi-
! demic at Fernandna went to that civ
and rendered valuable assistance.
