.SEABOARD To ERECT
A DEPOT IN
ATLANTA
INDEPENDENT ROAD WILL HAVE
LINE RUNNING DIRECT TO
BIRMINGHAM,
ALA.

The Seaboard Air Line railroad has pur-
chased property in Atlanta for both
passenger and freight depot and VIII ouild
It's own terminal station.
The Seaboard has also acquired right
Of way into the city and VIII build It's
own tracks which will enable 1t TO dis
continue using the tracks of the West
ern and Atlantic road.
The East and West road, which runs
from Gainesville to PeIl City, Ala, has
been purchased and the engineers Of the
road are now engaged in making surveys
for an extension of the line from Pell
City to Birmingham.
These are the developments in the stu
stion affecting the railroads In this sec
ton of the country and they will be learn
ed with interest by those who are con-
cerned in the operations of the roads
This will give ele Seaboard an inde-
pendent line from the northern points
now reached by 1t to Birmingham, where
connections will be made with all points
in the west and southwest.
II will also give Atlanta a new line to
Birmingham and win open UP a new sec
ton of the city.
The Seaboard. as is well known, is not
rart Of the system that has been operat-
ing IN this section of the country. 1t has
never gone into the merger and is an in
dependent line to the north from Atlanta.
The fact that IL has purchased the East
and West road is not entirely new. as It
was supposed 20 have acquired that prop
erty some time ago, although il Is now
stated for the first time what the Sea-
board will do with its new possession.
The fact that a new depot is to be
built in Atlanta by the Seaboard viii be
received with satisfaction by those who
have been watching the progress of that
road.
1.-The depot site of the Seaboard adjoins
that recently acquired by the Southern in
the western portion of the city. The road
las secured options upon sufficient prop
erty to erecc both a passenger and freight
depot and II is the understanding that
the road intends building both.

Harvard and Yale erafters.

From the Autobiography Of a Thief, in
Leslie's Monthly for October.
It was about this time that met Colo
mel Brace and the professor. One was a
Harvard graduate and the other came
from good old Yale. and both were graft
ers. When knew them they used to hang
out in a Joint on Seventh street waiting
to be treated. They had been good graft
ers, but had lost their nerve. Through
hop and booze they had come down from
good forgers and queer-shovers to COM
mon shophfters and petty larceny scum
We used to treat them in order to hear
them talk, for>they could talk like angels.
Some Of the finest talks on literature and
politics happened I'm that saloon. They had
good manners. and we liked them and
staked them regularly. They used to write
letters to politicians for guns who could
not read or write. l often staked Colonel
Brace to rs or so cents worth of opium.
They always kept together. If one of them
had 3 cents he would go into a dive and
pour out almost a tumblerful of booze.
Just as he tried the stuff his pal would
come in. as though by accident If 1t was
the colonel who had bought the drink, he
would say to the professor, Hello, old
pail Just taste this me whisky. 1t tastes
like ten-cent stuff" The professor would
take a sip and wax enthusiastic. They
would sip and exclaim in turn until II was
all gone, and no other drink ordered. This
little trick grew into a nabit, and the bar
tender got onto it, but he liked Colonel
Brace and the professor so much that he
used TO wink ut II.
