On February II the Burlington rail-
road sent an unusual valentine to the
Northern Pacific railroad at Billings. 1t
was in the form of two heavy trains
carrying 566 passengers for points in the
northwest. This was the first of the

Colonist rates are bone of contention
senger associations at present. The
western lines want the eastern lines to
divide the rate on a mileage basis. This
the eastern lines refuse to do. claiming
that 1t should be on the normal rates
of the roads. The rates on lines west of
Chicago to st. Paul and other competing
points are less per mile than are the
normal rates between the east and Chi
cago. and the Central Passenger ASSOC
cation ohcials want the pro-rite to cons
tinue on that basis. There is not liketvi
to be any serious disturbance as the
roads both east and west are TOO closely
allied at the present time to permit, any
movement which would deplete passen>
ger revenues. Co,onist rates to Ca'ifor-
MIA are also causing corsilera bic dis
tulbance between the western lines

Northern Pacific are anxious TO carry
the business by the northern routes

in order to get some of the revenue
The two northern roads are said to have
made a rate which means a very small
percentage to the southern roads in case
they should meet it. There is an agree
and every effort is being made by the
traffic associations to make them dive
up to it.

lngs lasting several months with the Off
Gals of the western Lines, have finally
consented to trail along after the west

the consideration in the matter is. none

it is surmised that the Canadian Pacific

TRAINS DELAY CARS.
New System on Habersham Line Not
Satisfactory.

New System on Habersham Line Not
satisfactory.
A different schedule has been ar
ranged on the Habersham street line
of the Savannah, Thunderbolt and Isle
of Hope Railway Company, and one
which has thus far caused much dis
satisfaction. The cars run out Bolton
street to OFT, to Gwinnett, and back
into the city, making a belt line.
The Collinsville car leaves Bolton and
OFT streets, and the transfer from the
city line is made at that point. The
fact that the cars of the city line must
cross the Plant System tracks at both
Bolton and at Gwinnett streets has
caused innumerable delays. Freight
trains have held the cars for as long
as ten minutes, and during the past
few days it has frequently happened
that four cars have passed a given
point in one direction without one NOV
ing in the opposite way. Considerable
complaint has been heard of the serv-
ice that is being given on the Haber-
sham street line since the new system
has been adopted, and it is probable
that a change will be made. No car
goes west on Bolton street under the
present plan

PAY FOR ALDERM EN-.
Answers of Two Members of the
Board Who Were Approached.


Board Who Were Approached.
Alderman Horrigan was asked yes
terday what he thought of the plan
to fix compensation for members OF
the City Council. He replied that he
thought we'll of it: that aldermen
should be compensated for the time
they give the city. He thinks 50
meeting should be received by each
member of the board.
Alderman Thomas, when asked about
the matter. said that he did not care
to express himself. He said, however,
that he was glad that he had always
been able to serve the city without
compensation. The alderman thought
that it would be rather difficult mat
ter to arrive at just plan for COM
pensation, as there are some of the al
dermen, because of the nature of their
duties, who work a great deal harder
than others. Most of the work of the
members of the board, too, the alder
man said is not done in meetings of
the body but on committees. On the
whole, he said, he thought the plan
of paying so much a meeting about
the best that could be devised. should

for succeeding boards.

spectacles ever seen in the South will
be presented.
With music, light and a wealth of
color, grace and beauty will the new
Fair grounds be given their inaugu-
raj, and the popularity of the move
ment is being attested by the great
public interest that is shown by all
classes in the contribution of this
youthful element to the enterprise of
citizens who have contributed so much
money and time to the great Fair,
which is to show something of Savan-
nah's push and vim.

by those in charge of the affair that
all who wish to join should do so at

Col. GordOn's Answer in the Carter
Loan Case.

Loan Case.
Col. Beirne Gordon ,one of the de-
PENDANTS named in the suit brought by
the United States to recover property
owned by ex- Capt. o. M. Carter, en-
gineer in the United States army, filed
his answer in the United States Circuit
Court in New York yesterday.
In the fall of 1896 Col. Gordon obtain
ed a loan of $4,000, giving a mortgage
on property owned by him. He was
told that the money was advanced by
r. F. Westcott, the father-in-law OF
Carter, who afterward transferred the
mortgage to Carter.
He asks that the mortgage be re-
transferred to him, agreeing to place the
amount of money still due, $4449, in the
custody of any bank, trust company or
trustee named by the court. The loan,
Col Gordon said, was strictly legiu-
mate business transaction.
There were two other loans aggre-
eating about $4,000 placed in Savan-
nah one with Mr.. John Lyons and the
other with Mr.. T. NJ. Cunningham. Both
of these loans, it is understood, have
been paid in full.

HARTRlDGE'S FIRST RALLY.
Travis, Dryer and Charlton Address
ed Large Gathering.

ed Large Gathering.
The first Hartridge rally in the cam
paign for ordinary was held last night
in Hennessys Hall, and was largely
attended The friends of Mr.. Hart
ridge in the Fourth district, turned out
in large numbers, and he was Endorsed
by the full strength of the meeting.
Because of the size of the crowd 1t
was decided to find another hall for
holding East Side meetings, and the
gathering scheduled for next week will
be held in some other place. Mr.. Hart
ridge was present at the meeting and
made a pleasant address to his friends
and followers. He thanked them for
turning out on a hot September night,
and declared that he felt gratified at
the display of strength in the Fourth.
The candidate said that he has
no idea of retiring from the field,
and that such a thought has never oc-.
Cured to him. With such manifesto
tions of loyalty, and such a display of
strength, he could not but feel that
victory will rest upon his banner at
the primary election. Mr.. Hartridge
made an appeal for an honest election,
and agreed with the speakers who
said that the Office is one that the peo-
pie should not permit to be sold to
the highest bidder.
Mr.. Robert Travis, Mr.. Joseph Drey-
er and Mr.. r. NJ. Charlton spoke in
favor of Mr. Hartridge's candidacy.
The crowd was an enthusiastic one and
the speakers seemed to have the SYM
pathy of those who had gathered in the
hall. Mr.. Travis made a facetious ref
erence to the effort that had been made
to have the strongest man, Mr.. Hart
ridge, step down and out of the way
for Capt. McAlpin. Mr.. Travis al
luded to Capt. McAlpin's actions in
the incident in a humorous manner
and the crowd appeared to enjoy the
joke.
Mr.. Dreyer said that he had always
been a staunch supporter and advocate
of the Citizens Club, or administration
forces. The fight for ordinary, how
ever, had not been laid on party
grounds. He recognized in Mr.. Hart
ridge not only the strongest man, but
the peer of all the candidates in every
way A man of unquestioned integ-
rity and undoubted ability. Mr.. Dryer
said that it was with the greatest
pleasure that he had taken up the
cudgel for the ablest of them all.
Mr.. Charlton made an address, in
which he sounded the praises of Mr..
Hartridge. He occupied his time cell
ing of the qualities of the candidate
whom he is supporting and of the high
plane upon which he is making his
fight. The speaker considers Mr.. Hart
ridge man in every way qualified to
fill such a high office.
James McCoster was made chairman
of the meeting and Edward S. Ryan
secretary.
