ATLANTA’S NEW DEPOT FIGHT.
FORMAL PETITION FILED BEFORE
THE RAILROAD commission.
City Attorney Anderson Places 1
Before the Commission and It Is
Informally Discussed—No Plan of
Improvement Embodied In the Pe
tition, Which Dives the Document
an Irregularity—No One Able to
Solve the Complicated Problem, as
the Present Site Is Leased From
the State— Hearing of the Petition
Set for Oct. 211.
Atlanta, Ga.. Sept. 20,-The formal pe
tition by the city of Atlanta to compel the
railroads enteritis the city to give better
depot facilities was filed before the State
Railroad Commission to-day by the city
attorney, Anderson.
After reading the petition and discussing
K informally with the city attorney, the
commissioners decided to hear the matter
on Oct. 26, and orders were Issued, citing
ail the roads to appear at that time and
show why Atlanta should not have better
depot facilities.
Under the rules of the commission, when
a petition is presented asking a railroad
to build anew depot the complaint is
required to suggest a site and present plans
for the improvement asked for, and At
lanta did not do this, because after all the
agitations of the subject no one has any
plan that will solve the problem, which is
complicated by reason of the fact that the
present depot and site are owned by the
state and leased to the Nashville, Chatta
nooga and St. Louis Railway, with the
Western and Atlantic Railroad. The
Western and Atlantic sub-lets to the other
roads, and as this depot is a valuable
consideration in the lease contract with
the state, the lessees will not abandon it.
The other roads do not want to build a
new union depot elsewhere, unless the
Western and Atlantic goes into it; and,
too, the present site Is believed to be too
small altogether, even if the roads were
willing to,build anew depot there on the
state's ground, to revert to the state at
the expiration of the lease.
In this informal discussion to-day the
chairman indicated that he thought the
present site would be used, the city giving
twenty feet of Wall street to allow an en
largement.
It is not Improbable that this outcome
will be anew depot on the present site
after the legislature has been applied to
for a modification of the lease contract,
which will equalize things.
AUGUSTA WINS THE CASE,
Georgia Rallrond Agrees to Unlld n
New Depot There.
Atlanta, Ga.. Sept. 20—Augusta won her
case before the Railroad Commission to
day. That city is in somewhat the same
fix as Atlanta with regard to depot facil
ities, and a final kick was made to the
Railroad Commission In the hope of re
lief.
Mayor Patrick Walsh and the city at
torney came up this morning prepared to
the commission of ihe justice of
their grievance.
The Georgia Railroad Company, how
ever, cut off the complaint by agreeing to
erect anew station, and Mayor Walsh
went back home happy to-night.
If Atlanta should by a miracle be as
fortunate as Augusta, the town would cel
ebrate by a Jubilee and torchlight proces
sion.
WILL BE AT ATLANTA THURSDAY.
Gov. Atkinson Notified of the
Second’s Appointed Arrival.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 20.—Gov. Atkinson
to-night received a telegram from the As
sistant Secretary of War notifying him
that orders had been Issued under which
the Second Georgia Regiment will arrive
here Thursday morning, remaining here
that day.
At the executive mansion to-night there
was a meeting of prominent citizens to ar
range for the reception of the regiment,
ami a programme was mapped out.
A report was received this morning that
the regiment would not come until Satur
day, and until Ihe receipt of the tele
gram from Washington to-night, was ex
pected that a change in arrangement
might have to be made.
A vacant store across Wall street from
the Union depot has been secured for use
as a refreshment room for the soldiers, and
as soon as they arrive they will be march
ed there and given a collation at the hands
of a small army of society buds, who have
decided that it is Just now the eminently
proper thing to make much over the re
turning volunteers.
PLUMBER JUMPS INSPECTOR DALY.
Lively Time In Plumbing Inspector'll
Oltlce nt Macon.
Macon, Ga., Sept. 20.—W. P. Bennett,
a master plumber, had a difficulty with
City Plumbing Inspector Daly and Daly’s
son, in the Inspectors office 10-day. Both
Dalys were badly bruised with a stick.
Bennett soon appeared at the police head
quarters and asked for an officer to go
with him to Daly’s office to get his hat,
saying the two men had jumped on him
and whipped him. He was not scratched,
however. Cases have been made against
aii parties.
Bad blood has existed between the in
sjlector and Bennett for some time. Re
cently Bennett filed a big damage suit
against Daly, alleging that he used his
office to persecute Bennett. This was
withdrawn later, but peace is not yet
In sight.
REAR END COLLISION.
A Freight Train Runs Into the Renr
of a Troop Train.
Charleston, S. C., Sept. 20.—A rear-end
collision occurred on the Charleston and
Savannah Railroad, at John's Island, at
6:30 this morning. A freight train ran in
to the rear of a troop tram carrying a
part of the Second Virginia Regiment
North. Four or five cars and the freight
tngine were wrecked, but no soldiers or
employes were hurt.
The caboose and baggage car at the rear
of the troop train no doubt prevent serious
loss of life. The accident was due to the
dense fog. Travel wus resumed at 1 p. in.
to-day.

The Week An n Whole Hna Been
Generally Favorable.
Washington. Sept. 20.—The government
weekly summary of crop conditions is as
follows:
The week ending Sept. 19, 1898, on the
whole has been generally favorable except
in (tortions of New England, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and Maryland, where the
drought conditions previously reported
continued, while in Mississippi, South
western Texas nnd some sections of Kans
as and Missouri, heavy rains have retard
ed farm work. Killing frosts are reported
from Northern New England, Michigan and
Wisconsin, but with eilght damage,” and
light frosts have occurred in New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, doing lit
tle or no damage. The absence of rain in
Washington has been highly favorable for
harvested and threshed grain and for gath
ering hops, an excellent crop of the latter
being reported from both of these states.
In California the conditions were favora
ble for most crops. The weather conditions
have been favorable for late corn, which
is generally maturing rapidly except in
portions of Missouri and Illinois where sun
shine and continued warmth are needed.
In Nebraska nearly the entire crop is ma
tured; in lowa considerable has been cut
and the remainder of the crop will be dry
enough to crib early in October. In Wis
consin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and Ken
tucky the bulk of the crop has been cut.
A slight improvement is noted in the
cotton crops in eastern portions of the
cotton regions; rotting and shedding tre
decreasing; the bulk of the crop is open
and picking is progressing rapidly. In
the central portion of ihe cotton region,
there are alioul the same conditions pre
vailing as in the previous week, picking
is progressing as the weather permits,
but shedding, rust and worms condnue
in Mississippi and caterpillars and worms
are again damaging the crop in Louis
iana. Some damage has resulted from
heavy rains in Arkansas. In Texas the
bulk of the early crop is open and pick
ing is well advanced although pickers are
scarce in some localities, The report in
dicates that the top crop will be short
in South Carolina, Georgia, Oklahoma and
Texas.
Late tobacco is doing well, except in
Maryland where it needs rain. In Ken
tucky some damage was done by hail on
the 15th.
Plowing and sowing fail grain has pro
gressed rapidly in all sections except In
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and
Tennessee, where the work has been de
layed owing to dry soil conditions. Wheat
seeding has also been delayed in portions
of Missouri on account of heavy rains.
Early sown grain is up and growing nicely
in Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska,
Kansas and Oklahoma.
WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
Conditions During the AVeek Favor
able for AH Farm Work.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 20.—The weekly crop
bulletin of the weather bureau issued to
day gives the following summary of condi
tions In this state: During the past week
the weather conditions have been very fa
vorable for all farm work. The days have
been warm and sunshiny. All crops have
shown some improvement over last week.
Cotton is opening rapidly and there is now
very little complaint of rust or rot. Pick
ing has been pushed vigorously and some
ginning has been done and cotton sold.
The corn crop will be short, as it has been
badly damaged by continuous rains, so
that it is too far advanced to be bene
fltted. A large crop of hay has been sav
ed during the past week. Peas and sweet
potatoes have grown vigorously, but gone
too much to vine. The damage to the rice
crop has been great. Sugar cane is doing
fairly weil.
INVESTIGATION IN EFFINGHAM.
Slow Progress In the School Com
missioner Case nt Springfield.
Guyton, Ga., Sept. 20.—The investigation
of the County School Commissioner pro
gresses slowly. The board met at Spring
field this morning at 9 o’clock.
F. S. Exley was -put on the witness
stand and made a statement with refer
ence to a conversation which occurred be
tween him and Mr. Reiser, during which
Air. Reiser remarked that if Nazarine
Goldwire became a mother he was a
ruined man. In the cross-examination Mr.
Exley stated that If similar reports had
been circulated about him that he possi
bly would have made the same remark.
Mr. Exley stated that as a matter of fact
he knew nothing of his own knowledge
of the case.
Jack Sackinger stated that he had pass
ed the school commissioner’s field and that
he saw Mr. Reiser and the Goldwire wo
man in the bean patch, near Mr. Reiser’s
dwelling, picking beans, and that he (Reis
er) came to the fence and talked with
him. This witness could swear to noth
ing connecting the school commissioner in
a criminal manner with the woman.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 21, 189a
LEAVE HUNTSVILLE TO-DAY.
PLANS FOR THE SECOND GEORGIA’S
HOMEWARD TRIP.
First Battalion Rilled to Arrive In
Snvnnnnli Thursday Night or Fri
day Morning—Gen. Miles Issue* an
Order Providing for the Immedi
ate Discharge of Country Members
of the Ilnttalfon and Many Are
Likely to Take Advantage of It.
They Can Get Their Money- and
Release at Once—Officers Think the
Entire Regiment Will He Mustered
Out In a Few Days.
Huntsville, Ala., Sept. 20.—The Second
Georgia had its last parade at Camp
Wheeler this afternoon. The regiment
leaves for home to-morrow. It win travel
in two sections. The first section, carrying
the Atlanta and other North Georgia com
panies, will leave at 7 a. m., and the sec
ond section, conveying the Savannah and
Augusta companies, Is to leave at 11 a. m.
More likely it will be some time in the af
ternoon.
Col. Brown was desirous of having the
regiment remain here two or three days
longer in order that It might complete its
equipment of clothing. This would also
haveenabfed the regiment to participate in
the parade in honor of Secretary Alger Fri
day.
Gen. Coppinger, however, it Is said, de
clined to delay the departure of the regi
ment any longer, all arrangements to this
end having been completed.
The Southern has the contract for car
rying the troops, but it will turn the Sa
vannah section over to the Central Rail
road. There will be no parade in Atlanta,
and hence no delay of the Savannah sec
tion. This will probably put the First Bat
tallion in Savannah Thursday night or
earfy Friday morning. *
An order issued by Gen. Miles was re
ceived to-day which gives great satisfac
tion to the country members. It provides
that men living at a distance from the
place of enrollment may be granted imme
diate discharges if desired instead of tak
ing the thirty-day furlough. This enti
tles them to their pay, travel, rations and
clothing money at once. Those who pre
fer can take the thirty-day furlough and
return to be mustered out at the end of
that time. They will receive no money
until mustered out. however. As many
of the members of the First Battalion live
a distance from Savannah, and as few of
them have any cash left, its likely that
the majority of this class will avail them
selves of the opportunity to secure an ear
ly discharge and ready money.
Officers expressed the opinion to-day that
the entire regiment will be mustered out
at once.
Company L attended the funeral exer
cises of their late member, Private J. W.
Brown, at the First Presbyterian Church
here to-day. The body was shipped to
relatives in Kentucky.
ALGER AT CAMP POLAND.
Everything In Ship Shape for the
Secretary’s Inspection.
Knoxville, Tenn., Sept. 20.—T0-morrow
will be a gala day at Camp Poland, and
the First Georgia Regiment will be not
without honor, as the result of the demon
stration.
Secretary Alger will reyiew the troops,
inspect the regimental camps, and divis
ion hospital.
The Georgia boys have been busy to-day
preparing their camp for the Inspection by
Secretary Alger and Gen, Sternberg, who
is with him. The camp is in better con
dition than it has ever been and will bear
a most critical inspection.
The Thirty-first Michigan, and the First
Georgia regiments did the "brother” act
this afternoon. A brigade dress parade
was held and instead of having two regi
ments there was one. Col. Lawton com
manded the entire line, and the com
painee of one regiment merged into the
corresponding companies of the other. The
line was alternated one Georgian and one
Michigan man. The captains from thq
regiments alternated in giving the com
mands. This last feature would have been
carried out in the case of the colonels
also, had Col. Gardner of the Michigan
regiment been here. He Is absent, but
will return to-morrow.
The big parade was witnessed by nearly
8,000 people from the city and other regi
ments.
To-night Company B entertained the cor
responding 1 company from Michigan. A
banquet was served in the company street
the Michigan and Georgia bands furnish
ed music.

t An immense crowd was at Ihe depot to
greet the returning soldiers. The proces
sion which accompanied them to their ar
mory was one of the grandest ever seen
here. An address of welcome was deliv
ered by Col. A. M. Waddell. After this
and short speeches by the company offi
cers the men were invited to partake of
an elaborate repast.

Bright’s disease.
Dr. Barnett was one of the most schol

THE RIVER STREET FRANCHISE.
Council to Consider That nnd Other
Matters To-night.
Council will probably be called upon to
night to consider the River street fran
chise, which has been withheld from the
Central Railtoad by a resolution to recon
sider the grant. The only action in re
gard to It, however, will likely be referring
It to a committee for thorough investi
gation.
Commissioner Purse of the freight bu
reau has prepared a statement, which will
be filed to-day, and which sets out In a
specific manner, the conditions which the
bureau thinks the city should require of
the raitroad. Among other things it is
said the bureau desires to guard against
any possibility of the railroads making Sa
vannah a way station, while Tybee de
velops into the metropolis of this section.
Whether the apprehension is well found
ed or not. It is certain there is a conspi
racy lo hold Tybee in the sand, though
this effort to establish the terminal by
no means signifies any Jealousy of Tybee.
After the matter goes to a committee, it
wili likely remain with it some time. The
desire Is to act more carefully than before,
and while the railroad will be given suffi
cient Inducement to make the connection,
still the business Interests will probably
be properly protected.
It is expected other matters of Import
ance will be considered, among them be
ing the southern section sidewalk ordi
nance. The property owners have already
been heard on this question, so that the
only thing to be done is to shape the ordi
nance in accordance with some of the
changes requested. There are a few
changes that will not be made for the
reason it would make the ordinance in all
respects like the one recently vetoed by
the Mayor.

Camp Meade, Middletown, Pa., 6ept. 20.
Maj. Gen. Graham thinks the war depart
ment will not be in a hurry to break up the
second army corps. His troops are accus
tomed to the cold weather of the North,
and they would probably withstand the
rigors of the climate at Camp Meade better
than the enervating atmosphere of the
South. The only Southern regiments in the
corps are the Second West Virginia, First
Maryland and Second Tennessee, all the
others being from the North. Gen. Gra
ham says the Southern camps have not
been as healthful as those in the North
and favors the retention of the troops at
Camp Meade until it becomes necessary to
send them to the West Indies and the Phil
ippines.
The health conditions of the camp are
Improving and outside of the New York
regiments, there is very little sickness.
