WNTATIVES OF SOUTH
ATLANTIC COAST LINE
AND B. Sl B. PRESENT.
Instead of Injuring Brunswick, the
Change Means That More Em
ployes Will be Added to the
Shops.
Another conference of the officials
of the taree lines of railroads center
ing In Brunswick was held here yes
terday, and, as usual, a whole lot of
■j'Fd tape" and star chamber sessions
Here trie order of the day. Those pro
Int were:
=HUeneral Superintendent W. B. Den
Ham and Division Superintended
Wright, on the part of the Atlannc
CoastfhJne, Superintendent fiaughn,
General Agent Thompson and General
Freight Agent McClesky, of the South
ern, and President Macnen, General
Manager McDuffie and Superintendent
W'estrick, on the part of the B. & B.
ab stated above, me actual purpore
of the meeting seemed to have been
shrouded with considerable railroad
secrecy. However, it has developed
that primarily the meeting was called
as between the Coast Line and the
Southern for the purpose of taking
up the question of swßstouig charges
at Brunswick, and a Nsws correspond
ent has it that amicable arrangements
have been made by the representa
tives present, which, when confirmed
t>y tlie general officers of the respec
tive companies, will he perfectly satis
factory to the Brunswick patrons of
the two lines.
Later In the day another eonference
held in which the B. & B. was
Represented by the officers nameu
above. At this eonference the ques
tion of the removal of the Atlantic
Coast Line shops was the only matter
considered and the Southern officials
not being interested In tills matter
were not in attendance, it is under
stood that In this conference the B.
& B. people proposed to the Coast
Line to pay a reasonable rental for the
shops to that company and the pro
position was to include all work of
the Coast Line In the shops, which is
to be done under the auspices of the
H & B. In other words, the B. &
B. people want shop facilities in
Brunswick.
The Coast Line think it advisable
to remove a portion of their shops
from Brunswick, hence a trace was In
line. The B. & B. people, it. Is under
stood, propose to keep In tact the
present organization at the shops and
in addition to doing the work of the
two lines in Brunswick, will engage
extensively in the car building indus
try, and it is estimated that at least
five hundred cars of various kinds
will be constructed In the shops next
year if present plans carry.
in other words the situation re
duces itself to a last analysis, which
means that the present force at the
A. C. L. shops will probably oe allow
ed to retain their places and that
the only actual difference will be that
they will report to the B. & B. in
stead of the Coast Line as has here
tofore been the case.
Ordinarily this seems to be a happy
solution of the situation, for the sim
ple fact that it now seems that only
those men who up to this time have
been assigned to other places will
lose their positions and that in a gen
eral measure the organization of tne
shops in this city will remain as they
are now.
The Southern and Coast Line offi
cials returned to their respective
homes last night.

.BOND ISSUE TO PAY BIG DEBT..
Mississippi Has Obligations of Over
Half a Million Dollars to Meet.
Jackson. Miss.. Oct. 11. —With out
standing obligations to be met next
month amounting to over a half mil
lion dollars, and only $200,000 now in
the vaults of the treasury, it will be
necessary for the state of Mississippi
to make an issue of bonds within the
next 30 days, and it is probable that
the first issue will exceed $250,000.
The state funds have been at a low
ebb for the past three months, owing
to the fact that the tax payments for
the fiscal year have nearly all been
made, and the expense of erecting
the new state house has been a heavy
drain on the finances. Thus far the
structure, which is rapidly nearing
completion, has been erected without
the issuance of a single bond, although
the legislature authorized a million
dollar issue, but the state officials
wisely deemed it best to use the gen
eral fund of the treasury to the limit
and thus save a goodly sum in interest
and also reduce the maximum of the
issue.
In November the treasury will he
compelled to pay out $200,000 for state
pensions, $27,000 for the Chickasaw
school fund, and about $25,000 for rhe
current expenses of government. The
last legislature authorized the use of
the state house and bond Issue .for the
general fund, and the bonds wlll run
for a period of 30 years and hear In
terest at 4 per rent.

Governor Heard Calls Conference and
Hopes for Peaceable Adjust
ment of the New Or
leans Strike.
New Orleans, Oct. 11. —A heavy
rain which started before daylight and
which was still falling at 9 o’clock
had tile effect of materially reducing
the crowds of'strikers and their sym
pathizers in Canal street in the vicin
ity of tile car barn tills morning.
Anticipating, however, that there
might he an early attempt to run cars
to give justification for promptly or
dering the military from their armo
ries, Chief Joutnee sent ten wagon
loads of policemen to the scone. Mail
cars were run as usual, but no effort
was made to operate cars for tho ben
efit of the public.
If the inclement weather continues
there will probably be a fierce public
demand for immediate arbitration.
Reports were received at police
Headquarters that the feed wires on
Canal street wore cut during the night
from Claiborne to Prieur street. tin.
til they are repaired no car can be run
over the Canal street line.
Governor Heard was up early and
in conference with the military offi
cials. The St. Charles hotel, at which
he has his headquarters, was thronged
with citizens, railways officials and
staff officers. The soldiers spent the
night In their armories and the offi
cers said that 90 per cent of the mus
ter rolls Had responded to tho call
of General Glynn.
Governor Heard at 10 o’clock, ac
companied oy Attorney General Guion,
went to tho city hall to meet Mayor
Capdevieiie. After a short confer
ence between those officials, messen
gers were sent summoning tile lead
ers of flic strikers to the hall. The
governor, it is said, will issue a proc
lamation to the people today. He
has hopes of a peaceable adjustment.
If that fails the situation will be tak
en hold of with a strong hand.

A NOVEL PLAN.
Bricks Burned, Soaked in Oil and
... Used for Fuel Purposes.
Philadelphia, Pa„ October 1L—
Bricks bid fair to rival coal as a fuel
in this city. Thousands of persons
are already burning bricks soaked in
coal oil, and at nearly every brick
yard in the city it was reported that
several wagon loads of brick had been
sold in lots of eight to twenty to each
person.
I his innovation, which may in a
large measure relieve the coal famine
in this city is the result of tne in
vention of a woman. She told an oil
wagon man how to burn bricks and
he told his customers. Experiments
have proved the value of her discov
ery. on large porous brick soaked all
night in oil will burn brilliantly for
over two hours, ami if placed in tne
fire pot of a kitchen range will fur
nish sufficient heat to cook a meal.
Persons who nave rnaue tlie experi
ment are dellgnted, and many of them
say they shall continue to burn oil
in this way in their cooking ranges
even after t..e coal strike is ended.
SEABOARD IN NEED OF COAL.
Engines Being Changed to Wood-
Burners.
Norfolk, Va., October 11. —The
frelgnt traffic of the Seaboaru Air
Line is almost crippled by the scar
city or coal. Today the coal that was
aboard freight engines was removed
to passenger engines and only enough
was secured to run the southbound
train from Norfoia tonight. The line's
shops are busy changing the engines
to wood-lmrners. The combined street
railway system of Tidewater, Virginia
is depending largely upon refuse coat
and scrap wood from the large mills
for fuel and has chartered barges and
tugs to gather fuel.
