RIVER STREET RAIL RATES.
THE ROADS AND SHIPPERS GIVES
A CHANCE TO COMPROMISE.

■iient ( a Hnle by the Comniis
alnn-l Decision Aignlnst the S., F.
and W. in the tame Brought by the
Deep Water limit I.ine.
Atlanta. Ga., May 13.—The state railroad
commission to-day heard the complaints
against the Central, the Savannah, Florida
and Western, and the Florida Central and
Peninsular railroads for discriminations
and arbitrary rates for switching and
transfers on the River street tra, ks at Sa
vannah.
Capt. D. G. Purse, commissioner of the
freight and transportation bureau. api>ear
ed to represent the complainants and F. 11.
Papy of the Plant system appeared for the
railroads. Both made exhaustive argu
ments to the commission.
The commission did not deliver any offi
cial ruling on the case, hut upon the show
ing made by Capt. Purse gave notice to the
railroads through >lr. Papy that unless
the railroads and the shippers come 10
some agreement as to the transfer and
switching rates now complained of a! once, j
the commission will interfere by the pos
tage of an official order that will compel
the roads to accede to the demands of the
shippers.
Speaking for the railroads. Mr. Papy sta
ted to the commission upon the delivery of
this expression, that his side would be
willing to meet the shippers and settle the
dispute outside of the commission.
This was satisfactory to Capt. Purse,
and there is every reason to believe that
the shippers and the roads will get to
gether on a basis of rates that will be sat
isfactory to both sides.
When this agreement is reached, the rail
road commission will review it and pass iis
approval upon the rates named.
Capt. Purse regards the action of the
commission and acceptance of Mr. Papy
of the recommendation that the dispute :
adjusted without any further interference
of the commission as a clean victory for j
the freight bureau in this case.
The commission has already prepared an i
amendment to rule 25, which is the rule
governing terminal transfers or switching
which would force the roails to concede
the rate demanded by the freight bureau.
This amendment was not taken up for
passage to-day, however, in view of the
probability of a settlement without its
adoption. It is held hack and will he
passed unless the roads and the shippers
get together at once.
In the case of the Hkwklnsvllle and Peep
Wter boat line, where the Savannah,
Florida and Western declined to transfer
cars from one of its depots to the other
because the shipment was to gd over the
boat line, a direct competition, the com
mission gave an unreserved decision In
favor of the boat line, which brought its
case through the freight bureau, and was
represented by Commissioner Purse. Mr.
Papy represented the railroad, and claim
ed that under rule 2fi the boat company
was seeking to use or abuse the terminals
of the railroad company, but the com
mission held that rule 20 did not appear at
all, and the railroad company must con
tinue to transfer ears to its city depot for
delivery to the boat.
BULKS WICK’S WIRE lit DUET.
Mayor Dnnxvody n Candidate for the
State Senate.
Brunswick, Ga., May 13.—The announce
ment of Mayor Dunwoody for the state
Senate appeared to-day, and his friends
have started to work in earnest to bring
out a big democratic vote in the June pri
maries. Mr. Dunwoody’s political suc
cesses have been continuous since his
entrance into the local field, and his rec
ord in the legislature has met with the
approval of his eonstlutuents. His major
ity for senator In Glynn will l>e sufficiently
large to overcome any possible combined
majority In Charlton or Camden counties.
The funeral of John It. Cook to-day was
unusually large and Impressive. At a
special meeting, Mayor Dunwoody and
the council resolved to attend in a body,
and invited all the ex-mayors to accom
pany them. The church was crowded
with the friends of the deceased, and
they were allowed to pass in review of
the casket after the services.
A private letter from the wife of C. A.
Shaw, grand chancellor of the colored
Knights of Pythias, who was injured in
the wreck near Savannah, states that his
injuries were more severe than reported,
and he Is suffering from internal wounds.
The aged mother and several relatives of
Capt. J. S. Raffo, a highly respected pilot,
of Brunswick, reached here to-dav as ref
ugees from Santiago de Cuba. They tell
a pitiful, yet awful tale of the ravages of
war as conducted on the island and were
glad to escape with their lives.
Mr. and Mrs. Sam Nathan returned to
day from Savannah and are suffering
physically as well as mentally from the
wreck and the loss of their bright son,
Louis, on Monday last. Their home was
visited by many friends to-day offering
condolences.

DEATH OF J. J. DALE.
He AVas a Prominent Citizen and
Business Man of lleuiifort.
Beaufort, S. C., May 13.—A telegram re
ceived yesterday announced the death of
Mr. John J. Dale, late of the firm of J. J.
Dale & Cos. of this place, at East More
land. Vt., on yesterday morning, at the
age of 52 years. Mr. Dale, who has been
? respected adopted citizen of Beaufort
or the past thirty-five years, has been in
declining health, ever since the August
cyclone of 1873, in which disaster his for
tunes were greatly impaired by the de
vastation wrought at his several places of
business. With an energy born of the d“-
sire to sustain rue credit of his house, and
to repair his shattered fortunes, he ad
dicted himself to the herculean task of
recuperating a business built up bv an
unswerving integrity and industry of
years, that had been almost utterly de
stroyed by a single night of cyclonic hor
rors, he succumbed after the mighty ex
crtions put forth to avert an impending
crisis, and which was almost too much for
human nature to endure, much less to suc
ceed In. He leaves a wife and several
children to bemoan his loss and a reputa
tion for business and financial capacity
and Integrity unsullied by misfortunes
over which he had no control.

Comes
With a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish la-fore proper ef
forts—pentle efforts—pleasant efforts—
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease. but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupof Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millionsof families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is tne
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle. which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Cos. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, hut if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and g ives most general satisfaction,

WHITE'S TRIAL FUR MI'RDER,
A Celebrnted Jacksonville Case to
Go to the Jury To-ilay.
Jacksonville, Fla., May 13.—The trial of
William W. White for the murder of Rob
ert Mitchell, a negro haekman, on the
morning of Feb. 7, occupied the atten
tion of the circuit court all of to-day. The
evidence was finished and the argument
will be made to-morrow.
White is a member of an old Charles
ton (S. C.) family, and in (he selection
of the Jury there were a number chal
lenged on account of being natives of
South Carolina. Several others were
challenged because they did not consider
it as great a crime for a white man to
kill a negro as for a negro to kill a white
man, even when the evidence was the
same.
The evidence introduced for the de
fense was to build up a case of tempo
rary insanity. A number of witnesses tes
tified that the defendant acted as one
who is suffering with delirium tremens.
White said on "the stand that he had been
ill for days and had suffered much from
insomnia and that he drank considerable
whisky. He alleged that he shot the ne
gro in self-defense. They had a quarrel
about 10 cents for carrying a basket of
groceries, when the negro cut him with
a whip. Several prisoners of the county
Jail said White showed welts on his hand
and back. Senator Butst of South Caro
lina, a brother-in-law of the defendant,
is here, attending the trial.

EVERYBODY CAN’T WASH
Clothes properly. Washing Is a science. It
needs to be studied, just as anything else does.
To get clothes white and not Injure a thread—
to iron each article as each customer wants it
requires thought and care—but we do it. We
do it because we mean to make this the best
laundry in the world.
