The Columbus commercial. (Columbus, Miss.) 1893-1922, 1904-01-05
CHANGES
That are Discussed in N. & o
Montgomery Train Route.

/ There was an Interesting bit ol
gossip in railroad circles Tues
day, and if the predictions Of the
men are carried out there will Ce
considerable change in the
handling of trains into and out OF
Columbus.
II il stated that the Mobile &
Ohio company is considering the
abandonment of the piece OF
track west from this city to
! Artesia for its through service
from 81. Louis to Montgomery
and Florida points and will make
the transfer Of passengers from
the main line at West Point, bring
ing them down over the Southern
to Columbus and then switching to
the track OF the Mobile & Ohio
now in use between this city and
Montgomery.
1t is known that q number of
new passenger engines have
been ordered by the Mobile &
Ohio company for service be-
tween the main line and Mont
gomery and that, with the
rapidly improving roadbed on
this stretch of track, the inten-
ii n is to shorten the time be-
tween St Louis and Florida
points.
This business has now grown
to enormous proportions. The
trains which pass through Co
lumbus each way daily contain
large numbers of passengers
tioketed through from ST. Louis
to the Florida coast and inland
resorts, and huntsmen at this
time Of the year are finding the
everglades g paradise for sport.
The engines which have been
ordered are too heavy foI use
across the Tombigbee bridge. III
the Artesia branch is used it will
be necessary, the engineers say,
for the company TO entirely re-
build the bridge just west of the
city at a cost of $50. 900, and it 10
to avoid this heavy expense that
the officials are said to be con-
templating the transfer Of pas
sengers at West Point and bring |
ing the the train down across the
Waverly bridge, nine miles |
of Columbus.
This change would necessitate
in some measure the abandon
mont of the present Mobile &
Ohio passenger depot, since
trains would come in over the
from West Point and
and discharge passengers
st the Southern depot.
The plan is not to discontinue
train service between Artesia and
Columbus, but to continue the CO.
lumbus train on TO Starkville,
making that point the terminus.
This train would doubtless be
to make connection
with the through trains on the
main line, passengers to this i'y
having choice of Mobile C Ohio |
trains over the NJ C 0. branch
from Artesia and over the South
ern from West Point, in sddition
to the regular Southern train out
of the latter place.
While nothing has come from
the officials to indicate that these
will be made in the /
service, it is known that if the
t-affic to the southeast by Mont
gomery is to be cultivated to do |
SO means heavier engines. As
these engines, if operated from |
Artesia, would mean g small |
fortune spent on the Tombigbee |
bridge, there is good ground for
belief that the change forecasted |

WITHDRAWN.
Council RescIncs its Action in
Munger Matter. and Msyor
GunteT withdraws
Resignation.

The differences arising between
Mayor Gunter and the City
/ Council on account of tne action
of the cou-cil in eefu ng - sus-
tain the mayor in bis 81 pension
Of Officer Munger have been
amieably adjusted, and the chief
executive of the city has with
drawn his resignation, which
was handed in as a result of the
rupture.
The whole matter has been
| freely discussed on the streets,
and the people are all more or
less familiar with the cause
which led to the suspension of
Officer Munger,of his subsequent
appeal to the council and the
action of that body in refusing tn
sustain the charges. The police
man was charged with three
separate violations Of the rules
regulating and governing the
conduct of police officers. The
first was the striking without
provocation of 3 negro named
Jesse Wright, the second was an
unprovoked assault on the per-
son of Frank Gunter, colored.
while the third was the maltreat-
ment of a negro who was con-
fined in the city prison on one of
tn cold nights during Christ
mas week. When the council
met last Monday to try Officer
Munger on these charges he was
represented by attorney z. P. /
Landrum, who succeeded in ac-
quitting him, and It was then that /
Mr.. Gunter's re ignadon was
handed il, f. the reason /
that without the support of
the council it would be impos-
sible for him to maintain t1eI
proper discipline in the police
department,
According to the city ordi-
nance no business can be trans
acted at called meeting Of che
city council that is not specifad
in the call, so the council refuse f
10 act upon the resignation. Tn.
mayor Immediately issued a ctI. F
for a second meeting 10 convene s. (
II o'clock Tuesday morning, bos /
when this meeting wss held ac-
ion in the matter was again +
postponed until "Wednesday /
morning, and finally for th-
third time was postponed until !.
Wednesday night.
The meeting which was held
W ednesday night, as stated
above, resulted in an amicable
Of the entire mat
Ter. The council rescinded It's /,
action, and in turn Mayor Gunterl J
his resignation. The
council then gave Mayor Gunter
authority to use his judgment as /
TO the suspension of Officer Mum
ger-plaoing the matter where it
was before the cauncil held its
first meeting,
Mayor Gunter, the members Of
the council and people of Co
lumbus generally are to be con-
graduated upon the outcome of
the affair,fo had the resignation
of Mayor Gunter been accepted
his withdrawal from Office would /
have been a decided loss To the
city. He has given US an unusually /
efficient administration, and has
the duties of the office
honestly and conscientiously and
with that flrmness and hxedness
of purpose that any position of
pc wvr and responsibility IL
variably demands.

Old Machinery Inadequate for the Grad.
uaIIy.inCreasiug Business.

For several weeks past the constant
ly-increasing business Of the electric
light plant has taxed to the utmost the
capacity Of the 125-horse power engine
which has been doing service at the
plant for some time. The growth Of the
business has been such that Manager
Dabney had to make some arrangements
TO care for it, and has contracted for a
new Corliss engine of 275-horse power
capacity, along with a new dynamo and
some other additional equipment. Until
this new engine is received and in
stalled, it will be necessary to cut cut
the street lights on Saturday nights un-
til after business hours, In order not to
overtax the already heavily burdened
engine now in use.
When the new engine is received, the
one now used will be retained and held
in readiness to use in emergency, in
case OF accident to the other one, thus
insuring uninterruption Of service.

The regular term Of tho Chancery
Court will convene one week from ncxp
Monday. The docket showa no cases
OF special interest, consisting chiefly of
divorce eases, there being twenty -four
OF these. principally among negroes.
The chief interest that will attach to
the term is the fact that this will be the
last term which will be presided over
by the present chancellor Hon. G. C
Moody, he having rendered his reslgna-
ton, to take effect at the close OF the
term. Chancellor Moody will retire to
devote himself to tho practice OF
his profession, which will prove much
more renumeratiye than the salary re-
cei we'd as Chancellor.
The names Of several well-known Mt
totneys OF this district have been mem
TONED as successors to Chane, llor
Moody, and much interest IL being felt
In the appointment.

THE PRELIMINARY
SURVEY COMPLETED
By Captain johnson For The Proposed
Electric Railway.


The preliminary survey of the pro-
posed electric railway routes from
Greenwood to Itta Bena, and from this
city to Black Hawk, was finished the
first Of the week by Capt W. =. Johnson
The entire right-ol-way for both
routes has been secured, and at an early
date Greenwood can look forward to the
much talked of railway as an absolute
certainty.
Several capitalists are now becoming
interested in the proposed routes, and
il is predicted by those who know that
as the survey has now been completed
they have become really interested, and
that the line will be put through witch
out delay.
