2 NEWS OF A DAY IN GEORGIA’S CAPITAL ATLANTA NOT SATISFIED BIT WILL TRY TO GET ALONG WITH RATE REDUCTIONS. Reduction* Allowed by the Rail roads Anionnt to About fit a Car from Both Ohio River Points and the Large Eastern Cities— Will Other Cities Now Be Entitled to a Proportionate Reduction in Their Hates t Atlanta, Dec. B.—Atlanta's commit tee of seven appointed to confer with the railroads with a view to securing lower freight rates, completed its work to-day and will make its report to the City Council to-morrow. The railroad officials offered Atlanta reductions both from the East and West on all the classes and on many commodities, but the concessions fell far short of what the committee hoped for and expected to get. That the committee is rather disap pointed is evident from its report, which makes no recommendation as to adopting or rejecting the proposition of the railroads, but merely states its be lief that these reductions will prove helpful to the general business interests of the city and that the railroads are considering other reductions, which may be made. These reductions run all the way from X cent to 16 cents per 100 pounds, the average being about 5 cents per 100. This means an average reduction of about $5 per car of 40,000 pounds. The reductions apply from Ohio river points on the one hand and from New York, Baltimore and other Eastern cities on the other. The reduction on first-class freight is the greatest, be ing about 9 cents per 100 pounds all the way through. A question which is not discussed in the report is whether or not these re ductions would necessitate reductions to other cities in this territory. If that should be done the alleged discrimina tion would not be gretitly relieved. The conference did not deal at all with rates within the state. That sub ject will be handled through the State Itailroad Commission. Soldier a Suicide. William Nimmo, private in Company K, Sixteenth Infantry, stationed at Fort McPherson, committed suicide last night by shooting himself through the brain with a Krag-Jorgensen rifle. He sat in a chair, put the muzzle of the gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger with his toe. Nimmo was from Patterson, N. J. He was 47 years old and had served in the army twenty-five years. He left no note stating the cause of his suicide. Jordan Wants Mass Meetings. Hon. Harvie Jordan of Monticello, president of the Southern Cotton Growers' Protective Association, to day issued a letter to the farmers, mer chants and bankers east of the Mis sissippi calling on them to hold mass meeting in every county on Dec. 17, for the purpose of taking steps to hold all the cotton which has not been mar keted. until prices have been raised at least 3 cents per pound. Uave Up His Missionary Plan. Barry A. Etheridge, who left Atlanta July 25 to go to China as a mission ary, abandoned his plan on account of the severe illness of his wife at Los Angeles, and has returned to Atlanta and resumed practice of his profes sion. Mother and Daughter in a Row. Mrs. Julia A. Young of Boston, who went to jail last night rather than give 12 bond to keep the peace towards her daughter. Miss Fannie May Young of this city, to-day instituted habeas cor pus proceedings to secure her release. The ease will probably be heard to morrow. Mrs, Young is trying to force her daughter to retract certain state ments, the young lady refusing her demands. Hence the peace proceed ings. The mother is said to be quite a wealthy woman.
