Supposed Trolley Line Charter From
Atlanta to Marietta May Be Used to
Secure Entrance at the Capital.
A Charter Already Secured for the
JelIicO-KnOxxiIIe Line-New Con-
nectiOn Would Put Cincinnati ana
Atlanta 100 Miles Nearer Together
and Cause Many Changes in Rail-
road Situation.
New York, April THE stockholders
of the Louisville and Nashville road
met here to-day and authorized the is
sue of 100000 additional capital
stock to be used for improving the
road. Announcement is also made that
the Louisville and Nashville has ac-
CURED a majority Of the common and
preferred shares of the Atlanta, Knox
vile and Northern road which, when
completed will run from Knoxville to
Jellico. thus forming line between
Cincinnati and Atlanta shorter by one
hundred miles than the present route.
Atlanta, April 7.--Vice President Z.
G. Spalding of the Atlanta Knoxville
and Northern is ill at his home in this
city and could not be seen regarding
the reported passing of his road into
the control of the Louisville and
Nashville. The Atlanta, Knoxville
and Northern runs from Knoxville to
Marietta, Ca. twenty miles from At
lanta. This road has a traffic agree
ment by which the Western and At
lantic handles its cars into Atlanta.
The Louisville and Nashville also has
a working arrangement with the
Western and Atlantic, and in this way
reaches the Southeastern States from
Nashville. Within the last year a
charter has been secured by a COM
pany having for its object the con-
struction of a road, presumably
trolley line, from Atlanta to Marietta,
and to-day's action by the Louisville
and Nashville gives rise to the belief
that this supposed electric line gives
them the long sought for entrance in
to Atlanta over their own tracks
A gap of seventy-two miles from
Jellico, Tenn, the present terminus of
the Louisville and Nashville, to
Knoxville is to be covered by a line
which was given a charter some time
ago in Knoxville.
H. X McEIarg of New York city is
president of the Atlanta, Knoxville
and Northern Railroad.
To Counterfeit the Southern
1t is explained that this purchase
puts the Louisville and Nashville into
competition with the Southern Rail-
way between Cincinnati, Knoxville
and Atlanta. 1t is understood to be
step to counterfeit the Southern
Railways recent purchases of lines
in Tennessee and other Louisville and
Nashville territory. The ownership OF
the new line will also bring the Louis
vile and Nashville into North Caro-
lima. in which state it had no inter
ests heretofore.

VERY LIGHT VOTE IN OHIO.
Democratic Superior Court Candi-
date in Cincinnati Defeated.

Cincinnati April 7.-Reports from
the local elections of the municipali-
ties and townships in Ohio to-day show
that cool and unfavorable weather
generally prevailed and that there was
a light vote cast with very little in
terest, except in a few cities. Some To-
calities in southern Ohio report the
smallest vote cast within the last de-
cade. In Cincinnati W. II. Jackson,
Democrat. who has served on the SUI
perior bench for the past five years,
was defeated for reelection by Pro-
bate Judge Howard Ferris, by more
than $4,000, in a total vote of $4,000.
which is less than one-half of the total
vote registered last November. Ferris
received 1881, Jackson 1881 and the
Socialist ticket less than 1000.

TOBACCO WAR COMES HOME.
British Imperial Company Files
Charter and Names Agent to Rep
resent 1t in Virginia.

Richmond, Va, April IA copy of
the charter of the Imperial Tobacco
Company of Great Britain and Ireland.
together with the articles of the as
ISOLATION and a power of attorney to
James Macdonald to represent the cor
poration in this country were filled in
the Chancery Court here to-day.
The primary object of the association
is to acquire and take over as going
concerns certain of the principal man
ufacturing concerns in the United
Kingdom; to carry on generally not
only the business of tobacco manufac-
ture, but also that of planters and
growers, exporters, importers and mer-
chants.
The company may prepare for mar
ket, manufacture, buy and sell tobac-
co, together with machinery, and may
own tobacco saloons, divans, cafes, or
carry on the business of refreshment
contractors and licensed vituallers.
They may charter ships or vessels;
may undertake all kinds of financial
guarantee and indemnity business, as
well as all kinds of agency business;
the company may lay out land for
building purposes, may acquire licenses
and enter into agreement with govern
ments or authrities, supreme, municipal
or local.
The capital stock of the company is
$4,000, 900.
Outside Factories May Combine.
Another item of interest in tobacco
circles is that letters received here from
England state that the independent
factories in England which have allied
themselves with neither the American
Tobacco Company nor the Imperial are
likely to develop into an unexpected
power and may even take the stand of
rival of the Imperial Company for
British favor. They are showing a dis
position to buy considerable tobacco at
present. The retailers, say the letters,
are disposed to back up the independ-
ent factories.
