OLD UNION STATION
Rumored That New Connection
With SOuthern's Line Indicates
Road Will Use Terminal.

Is the Atlanta, Birmingham and At
lantic Railroad to abandon the Union
Depot and hereafter use the Terminal
Station?
This intimation has come through
action of the Georgia Terminal Com
panv in making a definite move for
the establishment of a branch line or
extension connecting the A, b. and
A between Thurmond and Newton
Streets with the Southern at a point
near Magnolia Street The length of
the line would be about quarter
Of a mile.
The Georgia Terminal Company
passed resolutions recently touching
the subject and it is understood that
the company is now waiting for per-
mission from the Federal Court to
change its charter SO as to permit the
extension. The resolutions provided
that there should be built "a branch
running from a point on its main line
or extension Of its present railroad
between Thurmond and Newton
Streets in a general southeasterly di-
rection across Mangum Street, New
ton Street, Foundry Street and FL
lott Street to a connection with the
Southern Railway at a point near
Magnolia Street" and that attorneys
are hereby authorized to take all steps
necessary for the purpose of amending
this Company's charter authorizing
the building Of this branch or extern
sion"

Swimming Master Heroes of
PeriIouS Situation.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June 10.
Fourteen men Of wealth, representing
railroad and car building interest in
the United States running into hun
dreds of millions of dollars, trusted
their lives to the skill of Martin
Harris, swimming instructor and
Abe McCullen, chief life guard when
the steam launch Naushon stranded
in shoal water last night, three miles
off Rhode Island Avenue.
In the party were w. ]. Coons, vice
president Of the Illinois Central
Railroad; C. W. Mechanics. New
York corporation lawyer: A f. Be
dell, a Pittsburg steel magnate: A.
w Hubbard, of Kentucky, brother
Of the owner Of the boat; Robert Ma
son. steel car manufacturer OF Pitts
burg, and b. F. Marley, a New York
railroad man.
They were loud in their praise Of
Harris and MCCullen. The latter
left the beach in their risky craft at
$50 o'clock after the Naushon had
begun to blow a whistle and brighten
the ocean with flashes from her
powerful searchlight. At ten min
utes before midnight they had the IA
men safely ashore, having made two
separate trips to the yacht and rowed
70 miles through a ChOppy sea and a
highly dangerous surf.
