temiilateii Action of Western
Fines.
The general passenger agents of local
lines have received circulars announcing
that several lines in the West, principal
ly, have agreed to discontinue the prac
tice of allowing commissions on the sale
of tickets. They have determined to cut
oft all forms of stipends for the disposal
of tickets, and agents will hereafter have
to be content with the salaries they get
from their roads.
Some seventy-five of the leading lines
in the Western section are a unit in the
matter. They had representatives at a
meeting held in Chicago on Jan. 24, w hen
the action was taken. All who attended
were executive officials of their lines, and
the conclusion they reached will be ad
hered to.
The discontinuance of commissions and
all forms of emoluments other than sal
aries for the sale of tickets will be an
other blow to scalpers in the section, in
which it will become effective. To-morrow
the new rule will operate, and brokers
who have been given tickets for sale by
certain lines will no longer receive them.
In the South there has been no such pat
ronage of brokers by the railroads, but in
the West the roads have dealt with them
extensively, and the withdrawal of the
business will represent considerable loss
to those engaged in the business.
T cket brokers in the West have been
c mplaining for a year or more of their
accumulating troubles. First one thing
and then another has been done to curtail
their privileges or to discredit their busi
ness. Adverse legislation has been sought
and a general sentiment has been built
up acainst them. The abolition of the
commission system will but add to the
discomfiture of those who have been pro
fiting by it.
For years there have been no commis
sions In the South on the sale of tickets.
At least, there has practically been free
dom from them, the roads having to par
ticipate In commissions on but one class
of busin ss, that from certain points west
of the Mississippi to others north of the
Potomac. Two routes between those points
are available. Southern lines or Western
ones. The la - ter have, offer, and commissions
and the former, in order to meet compe
tition, had to do likewise.
At a Southeastern Passenger Association
meeting in Atlanta on Jan. IS, the officials
decided to participate no longer in such
commissions. That they did so was due
to the fact that they had already been ad
vised by the Western lines of their deter
mination to enter upon such an agreement
as the circular now gives information of.
Unless such action had be n contemplated
by the Western lines it would have !>een
impossible for those in the territory of the
Southeastern Passenger Association to re
fuse to longer participate in commissions
on business through to the East from
points in Texas and neighboring states.
Passenger officials in the South agreed
long ago that commissions of this kind
caused the greatest demoralization. The
Southern lines have always been conserva
tive. a boast that tile officials .are glad to
make. They have been saved no little
trouble through such being tile ease, and
they hold that this freedom from the com
mission system has helped them no little.

Architect* Invited to Submit Them
for flic I niou Station.
A conference of leading officials of the
lines entering Memphis was held in that
•tty a day or two ago for tlie considera
tion of a plan for a union depot. Each
line now uses a separate passenger termi
nal, and it is said the officials want to get
together to build a fine union station. The
citizens of Memphis Join with them in the
hope that they may be successful At
several places in the .South there have
been such conferences of late, union depots
seeming to In- in demand. Savannah has
one offered by four lines without a request
having been made, a fact that is the envy
of cities that are not abie to get their
stations even by begging. /Ttlunt-a is a
notable instance of the difficulties that
may l>e experienced.
Just now there is a little delay in the
union depot project for Savannah, the
lines interested having it under consider
ation. The conditions imposed by the City
Council’s committee will have to lie agreed
upon by the officials before work can pro
ceed. It Is quite iiossllile th<- roads may
come back with counter proposals or the
request for a modification of the condi
tions.

of the station and approaches.*xcept that

The Southern and the Plant Will

The intimate relationship that has ex

is to be cemented by anew eviden e of
good faith and fellowship. It is lea me 1
from a source that is practically official
and thoroughly authentic that the t.\o

the association between the two lin-s
will b very close indeed. P. enger rep

just a little of too nfcich good feeling, and

Southern lla* Not A *t Established It*
Freight Office Here.
Savannah shippers and business men
are wondering what has become of tho
Southern’s intention to establish a freignt
office hue to look after th.tt branch, as
well as passengers. It was announce 1
some time ago upon authority that Mr. J.
1.. Cox, soliciting freight agent at Char
lotte, had been .appointed freight agent at
Savannah and that he would have an of
fice fitted upon Buy street. Mr. Cox has
never shown lip, and the Sou hern has
confined its attention to passenger busi
ness. The freight situation might be im
proved with another competitor in the
field, and business men would not be sorry
to see the Southern running freight, as
well as passenger trains into Savannah.
Mr. W. W. Maekall, of counsel for the

BEFORE THE RECORDER.
Monday’* Lot of Case* in Police
Court.
There was a large number of prisoners
before the Recorder yesterday. George
Campbell, who had been arrested Ihe day
before, on the charge of an attempted as
sault on Mary Wilson, was given a sen
tence of $2, or three days, on the charge of
disorderly conduct, as an examination of
the witnesses showed that Campbell had
l*-*n guilty of no other crime than that
of surreptitiously embracing Mary while
her husband was not present.
William Bradley, on a charge of at
tempting to cheat and swindle, was re
manded to the City Count, and so also was
Denis Brown, who stole Christine Small’s
rocking chair.
Mike O’Brien, a white tramp, 67 years
old, was discharged upon his promise to
leave the city. Lula Simmons, colored,
who had been arrested for firing a pistol
in the street, was also dismissed.
Annie Conroy, o white woman, 60 years
old, for being drunk .and disorderly the
night before was sentenced $5, with the
alternative of ten days in jail.
The case of Walter Fuller, ihe negro ar
rested for cutting Eugene Thomas, was
continued.
Frank Days and Will Jackson, charged
with <he larceny of shoes from the Georgia
and Al ibama road, were turned over to
the City Court.
There were also a number of plain
drunks and of disorderlies, who were

In the First and Second Districts
Last Night,
The Republicans finished up their district
primaries last night, preparatory to the
County Convention. Apparently the De
veaux forces have swept the county. They
claim to have carried every district. The
Doyle people contest this claim, however,
and there are contesting delegations from
several districts, which assures a lively
time nt the County Convention to-morrow
morning.
The First, Second and Fourth districts
held their primaries last night. The First
district met at the Duffy street hall. There
were two meetings there, in fact. It is
claimed that the call was for 8 o’clock.
Before this hour, it Is charged, William
Chisholm, chairman, called the meeting to
order, and put through a Doyle delega
tion at lightning speed. Then the first
meeting adjourned, and some of the crowd
informed the first policeman they met that
there was a row in progress at the hall.
The policeman arrived to find the Deveaux
people in session and having a very har
monious’time.
W. D. Armstrong w r as made chairman
of the meeting and L. A. Washington sec
retary. The delegates elected were W. D.
Armstrong, Thomas Golden, Thomas Wal
ker, L. A. Washington, J. D. Campbell,
W. H. Morse; alternates, C. H. Hill, Ja
cob Wright, J. S. Kimball, J. Clayton Wil
liams, W. W. Humphries and T. Lloyd.
Speeches were made by Golden. Williams,
Hagler and Rutledge. Resolutions were
adopted indorsing the McKinley adminis
tration and Collector J. H. Deveaux, and
instructing the delegates to support Col.
Deveaux for delegate-at-large and W. D.
Armstrong a delegate from the district
to the National Republican Convention.
A resolution of censure upon Chisholm for
calling a snap meeting and deposing him
as chairman was passed, and W. D. Arm
strong was elected in tiis place.
A delegation from the First district,
which called at the Morning News office,
stated that there were 200 registered vot
ers present at the Deveaux meeting, while
Chisholm, they asserted, had barely haif
a dozen at the meeting held by him pre
vious to the time of Hie call.
In the Second District practically the
same thing occurred. The. meeting was
held at 440 Montgomery street, and there,
were about 40 voters present. Rev. E. K.
Love, one of the Doyle leaders, was on
hand this being his district. The rever
end was not in favor with the crowd and
according to a report brought in from De
veaux source s he had only four men with
him. This did not prevent him from hold
ing a meeting of his own. however, and
naming a full list of delegates and alter
nates. The delegates elected by the De
veaux people were John D. Savage, Sam
uel Jefferson, Dr. J. H. Pugg, James
Heyward, J. E. Walker and Son Grant;
alternates. W. H. Royall, William Jones.
W. p. Powen, John Shellman, Raymond
Noble, F. A. Adams. The meeting was
< lamel he a victory for Pugg and
Swage, and a defeat for Rev. Love and
his faction.
La’er the fallowing list of delegates and
alternates was sent in by Rev. Love: W.
H. Morell, W. A. Hazard, J. M. Ferre
bce, Sen Grant, FL K. Love, Fred
.Adams; alternates, Daniel Wright,George
McCrane. Judge Cuyler, W. W. Cook,
Owen Styl s, John A. Lockett, W. H.
Morrell was chairman of this meeting,
and W. A. Hazard secretary.
The Deveaux forces seem to have cap
tured the Fourth District without a con
-lest The meeting was held at the Harris
Str et Hall, and was largely attended. J.
S. Brown was chairman, and Y. M. Mil
ledge, secretary. The meeting elected
twelve and legates and no alternates as fol
lows: Col. John 11. Deveaux, Capt. I. M.
Pleasant, Capt. J. C. Simons, J. K. White
man J. S. Biown. R. W. White, W. R.
Fields. W. H. Logan, Sol C. Johnson, W.
R. Gallon. S. A. Wilson, Y. M. Milledge.
The delegates were instructed to support
Col. Deveaux for delegate from the state
at large. Copt. M. J. Doyle was present,
being a resident of the district, as was
[ also President R. R. Wright of the col
| ored college, but they were not able to
stem the Deveaux tide.
The Deveaux leaders who were promi
nent at the meeiing claim that their or>-
l>osition Is not directed against Capr. M.
J. Doyle nor Posmaster J. F. Doyle, whose
standing as Republicans is recognized, but
that the action of the distrlc m etings
was a revolt against Rev. K. K. Love, the
pastor of the First African Baptist Church
and editor of the Baptist Truth, and Prof.
R. R. Wright, president of the colored col
lege, whom they say should give their at
tention respectively to tho church and the
college, rather than to attempt to play the
part of political dictators.
The Third district held its meeting one
night last week and also declared lor De
veaux. The Doyle people claim that
snap judgment was taken in this district,
the required notice not having bef n given,
and there will doubtless be a contesting
delegation'from this district al?o. A high
old tim** may be looked for at the county
convention to-morrow, as each crowd is
likely to get possession of the meeting.

Tlie National Association of Manu
facturer* anil Its Finn*.
Mr. Ralph H. Waggoner, general agent
of the National Association of Manufac
turers, whose general offices are in The
Bourse, Philadelphia, is at the De Soto.
He is in Savannah to confer with i's
manufacturers about the work the asso-
I ciation is doipg.
“The association,” said Mr. Waggoner,
“is purely a mutual organization of over
1,100 manufacturers in every kii and of man
ufacture and in every port of the coun
try, with a strong organization of promi
nent Southern manufacturers as vice pres
idents for the Southern states. For your
own state we have Mr. J. F. Hanson of
Macon; Mr. Ellison A. Smyth of Pelzer
for South Carolina; Mr. D. A. Tompkins
of Charlotte for North Carolina; Mr. A.
S. Benn of Mobile for Alabama; Mr. F.
W. Young of-New Orleans for Louisiana;
Mr. W. T. Adam of Corinth for Missis
sippi and C. D. Mitchell of Chattanooga
for Tennessee.
“What are the purposes of the asso
ciation?” Mr. Waggoner was asked.
“To aid in the conservation of that most
valuable of all trade, home trade; In
opening new foreign fields for American
manufactures and in bringing the influ
ence of our 1,100 members to bear in a
united effort to bring to a successful is
sue some of the movements which have
a strong bearing on the manufacturing
interests of our country, South os well
as North.”
“To what do you refer in speaking of
these general rpov m-ems you are aiding?”
Mr. Waggoner was asked by a Mcrn.ng
News representative.
“Perhaps those most near to the heart
of business interests of your Mate and vi
cinity, I may me mien the . Dong * ffort r.o.v
in progress to give to our count y an
American merchanlt marine. Stop and
consider for a moment what that means to
Savannah? In the first place they will be
iron and steel ships and that iron and that
steel from Southern mines and Southern
mills; the wood work in finishing, from
Southern forests and Southern mills, an 1
this feature alone will give to Southern in
dustries such an imp t is that you wi 1 say
you have never known prosperity before.
Then we seek to hasten tho day when the
inter-oceamic canal will be built un er
American control. For years we have
}>een working. with others, ti bring this
about and it now books as though your
tireless Southern Senator Morgan, wh>
has given such efficient labor to that
cause, was to have his reward in Feting
his work crowned with success. To Savan
nah these two movements—merchant ma
rine and the canal—appeal with p cu’.iar
force, for, with American merchant ma
rine and the canal, your harbor woul i
teem with ships bound to all ports where
your Southern products have a mark t.
and especially to the Orient, west coast of
South America, Australia and Hawdi; 'o
say nothing of the Pacific coast of the
statcjSj Your- railway systems would
have‘such an increase of tom age as th y
have never planned for, and beautiful Sa
vannah be also a great international
mart.
“To what other public questions is the
association devoting itself? ’
“Notably domestic parcels post bv
which a Savannah manufacturer can
have the facilities which exist within
Great Britain, enabling one to send a
package of say eleven pound*
to any one of the 75,000 postoffices of this
O'untry at 8 cents per pound. We have
such a treaty in operation now between
tnis country and Germany, which went
into effect last October, and we should
have it for domestic uses as well.
Another movement that manufacturing
and commercial interests are aiding is
the establishment in the national .govern
ment of a (1 *partment of commerce and
industry with its secretary, who would
also be a member of the cabinet. Agricul
ture has had such recognition foi gener
ations, and it is time commerce and in
dustry had similar recognition.
“What special facilities has the asso
ciation to aid in extending the foreign
trad* of its members?’
“We are in touch with every commer
cial center the world over, and are send
ing to our members enquiries which reach
us for such goods as they produce. For
illustration, here is an enquiry from a
Japanese trading company, that is open
ing a department devoted solely to the
handling of cotton goods and they want
us to put them in tou'-h with American
mills w ho make goods suited to that mar
ket. If any foreign merchant, whose en
quiry w r e refer to a member, should wish
to buy direct, we are in position to fur
nish hi* credit rating and when ship
ments are made we have our own freight
and transp nation bureau for use of
members only, whose goods go forward at
lower rates than can be secured by the
individual shippers.
The general officers of the association
are Tl eod re C. Search, Philadelphia,
president; Charles A. Schleren. the leath

treasurer, and FL P. Wilson, secretary.

POLICE TEAM RAN AWAY.
Officer Collin* and Hi* Would-Be
Dneli*t Prisoner Injured.
The horses of the police patrol wagon
ran away yesterday shortly after 1 o’clock,
and in their efforts to escape from the
wagon, both Officer Charles Collins and
John Me Ivor, the prisoner in his charge,
were painfully injured.
Driver Moses Beblosky, in coming down
Congress street, at Whitaker, had been
forced to hold up the team sharply in or
der to let a street car pass, and this had
disarranged the harness, which he had
got down from his seat to fix, when the
horses became frightened and started on
the run down Congress street, toward Bull'.
With the horses careening down a nar
row street, and no driver in charge, Col
lins thought it the safest thing to do to
get out, an as the wagon was about half
way down the block he and Mclvor
jumped, but fell heavily on <the pavement,
each being severely bruised. The horses
continued down Congress street to Bull,
into which thew swung stiil at a high
speed, but were brought to a sudden halt
by running into a telegraph pole at Con
gress street lane. The wagon tongue was
broken, and there are other minor dam
ages.
Collins received a sprained wrist and
knee and also a number of other bruises,
which will keep him in l>ed several days.
Mclvor also received several bruises, be
sides having his mouth badly cut by con
tact with the pavement, but when he had
been helped to his feet he remarked that
“this bloody thing will be the death of me
yet,” and trudged stolidly to the barracks,
where his wounds were dressed by Dr.
M. If. Levi. He is a sailor aboard ihe
steamship Weybridge, and was arrested
at the request of his captain, whom he
had challenged to a duel to settle a quarrel
they had had concerning the English-Boer
war.

sick. W hen you want to rid your house
of all kinds of household vermin, why
not do it in the easiest, surest, cleanest
and cheapest way—by using Steam’s Elec
tric Rat and Roach Paste. It’s easily ap
p.ied in cracks and crevices or spread on
a piece of cheese, and no bad odors can
arise from its use, as it entirely con
sumes all animal matter. Rats eat it
and die outside the house; if they can
not get out inside of two days the Paste
consumes and dries up all of the rat but
the skin and bones, so that there is noth
ing left to smell. Stearn s Electric Paste
has been made for over 20 years. Thous
ands and thousands of housekeepers have
used it during that time, and we have nev
er had one single complaint. For sale at
all druggists 25c a box. If your druggist
does not keep it send stamps and we will
send 'ou i box. Stearns’ Electric Paste
