The Reduction Conference.
A conference of representatives of
the various railroads of the State was
hold before tbe Railroad Commission
in Atlanta on Tuesday last to con
sider the reduction of passenger
rates. Nearly every road of impor
tance was represented, and the uni
versal opinion of all seemed to be
that any further reduction of rates
would be ruinous to the roads, citing
the example of tho heavy North
ern lines through thickly set
tled country, all of whom charge 3c.
per mile. Passenger Agent J. M.
Brown, of the Western & Atlantic,
in his remarks admitted that his
road was merely making an experi
ment In its 2jc. rate, and further said
that he believed the circumstances
were more in favor of that road than
probably any other in the State. The
matter was discussed pro and eon,
but definite action was postponed
until another meeting to be held on
tho third day of April. General Pas-
songer Agent McDuffio of tho B. A
W„ was present at tho conference.

The Atlanta Constitution remarks
that if the various towns trying to
advertise themselves would deposit
one thousaud dollars with their Ideal
papers, they would stand a better
'chance of getting their money back'
than'by resorting to hand bills and
two-tqeh circulars. This advise
from the Constitution Is eminently
correct, bnt it might also have added

papers.” ' ' .
Tho latest fad in social gatherings
is the pig party. Everybody in at

name is signed. The fun comos in

prize is awarded the best draughts

Probably the most remarkable rail
road in the world is that running
from Gloggintz to Lounering, near
Vienna. It is only 25 miles in length,
and cost over $7,000,000. It begins
at the little station of Gloggintz, at
an elevation of 1,400 feet, and from
there tho train, hauled by two pow
rpunc
ducts and through as many tunnels.
It creeps along precipices affording
glimpses of some of the wildest seen
ery in Europe. Its terminus, Loun
ering, is an elevation of 3,500 feet.
