]. W. LURTON INTERVIEWED REGARDING
CHARGE BY PANAMA PILOT.
st Andrews BY Road Treated Same as
OGsr Connections.
~
Busj-1fTom Points on |. { N. Consigned
to Panama City Handled via COttondale
or Pensacola, as Ordered. Mr. LurtOn
-
Surprised.

Alleged differences between the
Louisville & Nashville r. r. Co. and
the Atlanta & st AndI ews Bay R. r.
Co. have been aired in the public
prints for some time past, eliminating
the direct charge, made by the Pana-
ma Pilot last week, that the l.. q n.
was refusing to receive freight con-
signed to Panama City via Cottondale
and the A. & st. A. B. r. r. in def
ance of the law. In order to get at
the bottom of the matter representa-
tive of the Evening News called upon
Division Freight and Passenger Agent
j. w. Lurton this morning, showed
him the article in question, and asked
for direct statement concerning the
matter. Mr.. Lurton said:
"All freight that is given to the L..
& N. for Panama City or other points
on the Atlanta and st. Andrews Bay
railroad is routed via Cottondale, the
only point at which we connect with
that line, and we are only too glad to
get business between any point on
our line and points on the A. & st.
A. B. r. r. The business is handled
on the same basis as between our line
and the lines of any of our connec-
tions, and there is not the slightest
discrimination"
"How about connections with Pan
anna City by boat, Mr. Lurton. Dc
you handle freight consigned to the
steamer Manteo?"
"Freight that is routed to Panama
City via the steamer Manteo is neces
sarily billed to Pensacola and upor
it's arrival here the agent of the Man
teo is notified in the usual manner
We have no connection with steamer:
and there is no through rate to Pan
anna City via the L. & n. and water
Freight consigned in this manner il
treated in exactly the same manner
IS any freight consigned in care of ;
steamer going for instance, to som,
point up the sound. There is abso
lutely no discrimination against th
Manteo. We simply do not do busi
ness with steamer lines on the SAM
basis that we do business with rail
roads,"
"Have you any arrangements, Mr.
Lurton, for handling freight consign
ed to Panama City at the junctio
point, Cottondale?"
Eyes, there is a regular publishe
tariff covering that point. Freigh
in car loads is delivered to the 81
Andrews road at CottOndale withou
charge. Freight in less than ca
loads is charged, for transfer, 3 cent
per 100 pounds, but this charge is nc
being collected because the freight
handled direct from the cars OF on
company TO the cars of the other"
"Then there is no discriminate
whatever on the part of the l.. & !
as regards shipments to Panam
City?"
absolutely none. We will take a

vision it is said was seen by the boat
mans wife several nights before her
husbands disappearance and of which
she told him before his departure with
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward E. Easton and
their two children.
Yesterday friends of Tony visited the
woman and she told them the story of
her dream.
Several nights before my husband
left the city 1 had a dream and al

Mrs. Christs words are believed by
many who have heard the story and
her son, known here as George the
Greek" a young boatman whose word
has never been doubted, verifies his
mothers story of the dream.
Members of the local aerie of Eagles
