HEARD LUMBERMENs' PETITION.
Railroad Commission Hears From
All sides in Matter of Time for
Unloading Cars.

OnrS.
Atlanta, Feb. 2S.-Many prominent
railroad men and manufacturers and
dealers in lumber We're before the Rail-
road Commission to-day in an import
ant case, which came up on a petition
Of a large number of the lumber deal
ers of Savannah Among those present
we're President r. G. Erwin of the
Plant System, Hon. F. G. duBignon, w.
A. Winburn, traffic manager of the
Central: Hon. ]. j. McDonough and w.
B. StillweH of Savannah and M. f.
Amorous, representing the Georgia
Saw Mill Association. Hon. Walter G..
Charlton, who appeared for the Savan-
nah lumber merchants, and Cebil Cab
Dett of the firm of Wylly & Gabbett.
The petition from the lumber mer-
chants asks that the time for unload
ing cars of lumber at the ports be ex-
tended from three to ten days. The
railroads claim that this length of time
was once allowed, but advantage was
taken of it, and the cars were practi-
eally turned into lumber warehouses.
The saw mill men are backing the rail-
roads in their protest, because they
claim that cannot now get enough cars
for the business. The commission heard
arguments in the case this afternoon,
and took the matter under adyisemsnt.

VaIdosta's storm the Most severe
Ever Experienced There.
Valdosta, Ca, Feb. 2S.-The storm of
last night was the. most severe ever
experienced in this city. For four
hours, from to 10 o'clock, the gale
amounted to little less than hurri-
cane. None of the coast storms in the
past have caused such high winds here
and the oldest citizens do not remem-
Der to have experienced a more bois-
ferrous night. Not only did the winds
blow such gusts that electric lights
were blown to a mere red spark, but
the lightning was almost incessant and
the rain fell in torrents. Houses all
over the city trembled like leaves in
the storm, but no serious damage was
done. One large plate glass window
in Roberts, Crawford Dasher Com
pany's store was blown out, and the
reports from the surrounding country
say that much damage was done to the
forests. Many of the trains to-day were
late on account of time lost in clear
ing logs and trees from the tracks.
