STREET CAR MEMS UNIFORMS.


General Manager Lotion to Insist ON
Neatncss i'm Personal Appearance.
The conductors and motormen of the Sa-
vannah, Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope
Railway are out in their summer uniforms.
There are a few of the men not yet sup
piled, but the uniforms are all here, and
win be distributed among the men at once.
General Manager Lotion says it is his
intention TO bring about a general inn
provement in the employees feature of
the car service. Besides having employees
look neat, it is the intention to have them
show uniform courtesy to the public. A
change in this direction has already been
inaugurated by having conductors assist
ladies on ana off the cars. Heretofore
this has not been done, and even decrept
persons received no assistance from the
company's employees in getting on and off
the cars With the enforcement of this
rule, which viii be a popular move the
public will appreciate a service to which
everybody felt they were entitled

TO TEST THE PROVISION.
Gov. Gamblers object in Permitting
suit To BE Brought Against Central.

sun 10 Be bruuEh A2aAusH NehNFai 4.
President H. NJ Conner has returned 20
the eity. after a weeks absence. As has
already been announced. Mr.. Conner was
given hearing by Gov. Gambler last week
previous to his order instructng the at
torney general 20 bring suit against the
Central on account Of the complaint made
by certain parties at Eatonton that the
Central had violated ihe section % the
constitution relating TO lesssning compeU-
ton by its purchase Of the Middle Georgia
and Atlantic Railroad.
Mr. Conner said that he was given a
very patient and courteous hearing by
Gov. Gambler. who stated that he wished
it distinctly understood that there was 10
prejudice against the road 10 his action.
The Governor held that as there had
never been construction Of ne section u
the constitution under Which II WAS
sought TO bring the suit he could not do
less than grant the request for the suit
and leave the courts 70 cons true the pro-
vision of the constitution"
Mr. Conner said that il is true that a
majority of the citizens of I:atonton vol
unfairly expressed their opposition 20 the
bringing of the suit, there being no rea-
son why it should be brought as the Cen
trail has given Eatonton much better IA
cilites than it ever enjoyed before. The
statement contained in the petition for
the suit that the Central owned an inter-
est in the Middle Georgia and Atlantic
previous to its purchase Of that property
was untrue, Mr.. Conner said, the Central
not having q doll ar of interest in the
property previous b the purchase made
by him in December 1896
It may be some time before the suit is
brought. as the Sup srior Court at Eaton
ton does not convene until fall The case
viii undoubtedly be AIKEN to the Supreme
Court by the losing party, in order that
of the constitution prohibiting the pur-
chase of one railroad by another where
the effect is to decrease competition. The
provision is one which has been much
discussed. but which has never been test
ed in the courts.

AUGUSTA ROAD IN GOOD SHAPE.
The Gravel Recently Laid by the
County 10 Montieth Firmly Packed.

That part OF the Augusta road which
was recently completed to Montelth BIZ the
county has been hardened until it com
pares favorably with any of the other
roads around savannah The six inches
Of gravel laid for several miles presents a
hardened surface. As a result the road
has become popular for bicyc!ists. who
find much pleasure in the long ride Il af-

On either side Of the road for some dis

almost dried away. The evidences of the

COMMISSION ROW SALES
MORE GOODS DISPOSED OF IN 1898,
But AT SMALL PROFITS.
Few of the Merchants Made Money
The Scarcity of APP
pies.

Within the last ten years the number of
commission houses which handle fruits and
vegetables have increased from fourteen TO
thirty-two, yet all seem to be thriving. One
commission merchant on Saturday, when
asked how his business in 1898 compared
with 1897 said he sold so per cent. more
goods than in 1897, but did not make much
money, so sharply were prices cut late in
the year on the articles they usually make
the most money on. In potatoes, for in
stance, prices never ruled lower than for
several months past This is quite an item
when it is taken into consideration that
there were shipped here from Missouri, Ne
baska, Michigan and other Western and
Northwestern States in the year 1898 44S, 43S
bushels OF Irish potatoes. Another commits
sion merchant said he had sold about % per
cent. more goods and made about 10 per
cent. more money by watching corners
closely than in 1897. A third said he had
sold is per cent. more goods than in 1897
and had barely come out even.
On this market in 1898 there were sold
$4,000 barrels of apples, and at higher prices
than in either of the last four years, yet
but little money has been made on them, as
large per cent. of the apples were pur-
chased outright, as apples were so scarce
all over the country that it was not neces-
sary to ship them to commission merchants
to realize ready money on them. Cabbages
are another vegetable largely dealt in, and,
like potatoes, have been selling unusually
low. 1t is stated that fully 200 carloads of
cabbage are sold annually on this market,
but the supply has been so large that low
prices prevailed. Celery is another article
that the commission houses handle in large
quantities, and on this they have made
some money.
Last year the peach crop was so much of
a failure that in 1898 not more than half
as many carloads were handled as in 1897,
and so much of the stock was inferior that
little money was realized. In handling ber-
ries in their season, and cherries and plums,
the commission men did quite well. as the
fruit was good and sold WELL owing to the
scarcity of peaches. From the orange crop
results are not as good as usual.
Summing up the matter, one of the oldest
commission merchants said: I'm the year
1893 the commission men did more business,
so far as volume is concerned, than in any
year since 1892, but prices were cut so close
and the expenses so increased through
handling the increased bulk that with but
two or three exceptions, the commission
merchants on South Delaware and East
Maryland streets made but little money,
several barely coming out even. Where the
commission houses handled butter and eggs
as well, they closed the year with better re-
suits than those who confine their business
chiefly to fruits and vegetables"

HOBO HOTEL BUSINESS.
Police Make Descent on West Mary
Iand-Street Places.

Sergeant Hyland and Patrolmen Warren
and Johnson slated fourteen men at the
police station yesterday in this style: "Of-
fense-vag; occupation-hobo; residence-no-
where" The men were arrested in a house
at No. 400 West Maryland street. A woman
who lives there had started a rival "hobo
hotel'' to Reeds gospel mission" just
across the street. She told the policemen
that she had rented a room to four men,
but she knew from the babbe of many
voices that they must have called their
friends in to share their home The woman
lost sight of the profits in the mission bust
ness and was glad to get rid of her dodgers.
She said she afraid to go up into the
room to tell the men to be quiet. All Satur-
day night the men had rushed the can"
and enjoyed themselves, and when the
policemen entered the room, battling against
the horrible odor, they found the four men
who had rented the room had taken it as
their right to occupy the bed. and their
guests were stretched out on the floor
The gospel mission across the street
took police attention in the afternoon.
Neghbors complained of a crowd of tramps
there Patrolmen Bray, Holtz and Larsh ar
rested eight men who had gathered from all
over the country.

THE CHICAGO STERE0TYPERS.
Their Case Being Considered by L. Il.
4. Executive Council.

The executive council of the International
Typographical Union held an all-day ses-
sion yesterday. 1t was at first expected to
take up for consideration the troubles of
the Chicago stereotypers, who, since the
strike last summer have never settled their
grievances with the different papers, and
the result is that, with two exceptions there
is not a union stereotyper at work any
Of the papers in Chicago. This has not
affected the other allied trades. but it is
the purpose of the International Typo
graphical Union to secure the reinstatement
Of the old men 'by any peaceable method
that can be adopted.
The discussion of this matter gave way,
however. to the reception of a commlltee
from the Lima (O) Typographical Union,
which reported that the printers and Tro-
prietors of the Gazette of that city are I'M
able to agree on q scale of measurements,
and that a strike is now IN progress. A
committee was appointed TO consult with
both parties and attempt to bring about
some settlement of the difficulty which will
be acceptable to both sides.
In discussing the troubles of the Chicago
stereotypers. Second Vice President j. q.
Derfinger, representing the stereotyDers in
the executive council, said that as he was
from New York. he was familiar with the
short-lived difficulty the stereotypers had in
that city about the time the war broke cut.
According to his story the New York Jour
nal announced last June that it intended 10
publish "A regular sunday evening COlUOD,
and the union was invited to fix a scale for
the work 10 be done on il. The matter was
agitated for about four weeks before the
edition actually appeared. and at the meet
ing of Stereotypers' Union, No. l. the rad
ical element gained the upper hand and
rushed through a resolution providing for a
Sunday day of eight hours at 50. with over
time after eight hours at the rate of 81 an
hour The conservative element in the
union then appointed a committee to wait
on the managers of all the papers and adj
wise them to continue to pay the old scale
for two weeks, with the understanding that
at the end Of that time some satisfactory
arrangement would be made with them.
In conformity with this the union at its
next meeting rescinded its former action and
fixed the scale at s. for six hours on Sun
days with 81 an hour for all overtime.
This satisfied all the managers and the same
scale is now in force on all but one paper
ia the city. Mr.. Derfiinger, as well as other
officers Of the union, has always held that
the first action of the union was outrage
Gus and that IL had its effect on the Chi
cago papers 1t will be represented to the
Chicago papers. however that the stereo-
typers as well as all the other allied unions
are conservative bodies and that the In
Iernational Typographical Union will not
allow any branch OF its membership to be
unjust in its demands, and 1t is hoped that
way will be devised to settle the Chicago

AT THE Y. NJ. c. A.
Rev. ID. IL. Lucas Draws a Lesson from
Peters Denial.

T. A. Hdreth, secretary of the Y M
G. A., is doing what he can to make the
Sunday afternoon meetings for young men
as attractive as possible. An orchestra
under the leadership of John Harden, has
been organized, and steps are being taken
for the formation of male chorus of TWEEN
ty-five voices to lead the singing. The meet
ings are held in the gymnasium each Sun
day at 3:45 o'clock p. m. Since the building
was remodeled and the meetings have been
revived interest in them seems to be increas-
ing There were perhaps 200 present yester-
day afternoon. Rev. ID. r. Lucas made
plain talk on the subject, Peter Wept Bit
terly." Next Sunday afternoon the meeting
will be conducted under the leadership Of
members of the Yale Missionary Band, and
ii is anticipated that there will be a large
gathering. ar Hildreth is anxious to hear
from young men who desire to become asso-
ciated with either the chorus or the orches-
ira Before the address by DR.. Lucas yes
terday Mr.. Hildreth read from Luke xii
the account of Peters denial of Christ when
ne was on trial just before the crucifxion.
Mhen Jesus had been taken in the garden
lie had warned Peter that he would deny
the Savior thrice before the cock crew
While the trial was progressing three ac-
cused him of being one of Christs dis
ciples, one saying that he was Galilean
thy speech betrays three" Peter denied
that he knew Christ. The cock crew. Then
Peter remembered. He went out and wept
bitterly after Jesus rebuked him by a look
DR.. Lucas drew some practical lessons from
the story.
How any one can contrast Christ with
His disciples, said he, land not recognize
and accept the divinity of His character
cannot understand Here was Peter, who
had been associated with Christ for three
years, the everyday, faterng, developing
man. On the other hand. we see the pow
erful, divine; Hfe-giving man. Since Jesus
came into the world every mans life has
been in some way connected with His. Pc
ter's whole life and destiny were changed
by his contact with Christ Let any man
know Christ in the real sense and you will
find that man can never be the same he is
changed, Transformed he lives for heaven
instead of earth. When il is forgotten that
Ingersol was once candidate for Governor
of Illinois, that he made a great speech
nominating Blaine. history will record his
name because he came in contact with His
name, in conflict with Jesus. There are
some lessons to be drawn from this gospel
we have heard. A look may be the great
est rebuke. Jesus looked upon Peter. He
said not word. But the very fountain of
Peters soul was stirred and he Went out
and wept bitterly Another thing We are
