THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30, 1882. 5 RAILROAD RATES. IN COLUMBIA OF. THE MEN WHO FIX THE TARIFFS.

Tri-Weekly Steam Service Between Savannah and New York A Man to Watch Signals-The Meridian and New Orleans-The Kentucky Central- -North Carolina Midland. COLUMBIA, August railroad men met here yesterday to revise the freight rates. Among those present were Mr. Solomon Haas, traffic manager of the Associated Mr. Slaughter, general passenger agent of the Richmond and Danville road; Mr.

D. Cardwell, assistant general freight and passenger agent of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta and of the Columbia and Greenville roads; Colonel S. B. Pickens, general freight agent of the South Carolina railway; Mr. M.

J. Verdery, president, and Mr. Hill, general freight agent of the Augusta and Knoxville road; Colonel R. L. McCaughrin, president of the Columbia and Greenville road, and Colonel A.

C. Haskell, president of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta road. The freight rates were advanced on the lower classes of freight from 5 to 10 per cent, and on the higher classes from 10 to 20 per cent. There has been a general advance in the freignt rates all over the country. The railroad men claim that the couptry is prosperous in almost every department of industry and can afford to pay advanced rates of transportation, sharing with thew the increased expenditures necessary to keep their roads in serviceable condition.

It is expected that the freights over the railroads in this state during the next year will be st least. Biteen per cent in excess of the freight business done during the present year. The crop prespects were never so fat tering and the business already done by the Columbia and Greenville and the Charlot.e, tation of small grain to markets outside Columbia and Augusta roadsin the transpor: the state is altogether without parallel in the history of the state. The Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta road has bauled out of the state during present season 2.000,000 pounds, and the Columbia and Greenville road has furnished transportation for 000 pounds oats. These shipped to Charleston, Augusta.

Wilmington, Richmond and Baltimore, and has gone far to relieve the necessities of the farmers of middle and upper counties. In order to encourage industrial activity in state and to promote the interests of all the people the railroad passenger agents have made especially low rates for all the agricultural fairs in the state. The rate agreed upon is one cent and a balf per mile for each mile traveled, or three cents for round trip tickets. In addition to this all freights for exhibition at any of the fairs will be transported free unless sold at the fairs. Upon the shipment of all articles for exhibition full rates will be charged, payment to be made in advance of shipment.

Upon the return of the goods exhibited, however, on the certificate of the secretary of the association where exhibited the money will be refunded by the railroad Agente, and the goods returned without charge the place of original shipment. SAVANNAH AND NEW YORK. From the Savannah News. The establishment of a tri-weekly ocean steamship line between Savannah and New York, as foreshadowed in the recent letter of General Sorrel to Mr. James L.

Taylor, general freight agent of the Savannah, Florida and Western railroad. wilt be good news to all shippers from this port, but more especially to the truck farmers, who are contemplating an immense increase of their business nex: vear. General Sorrel says in his letter: "We expect or to provide in this quickened and increased schedule for all the business that may be offered clearly intimating to the truck farmers the will and ability of the steamship company to meet every demand that may be made upon it. This assurance will greatly and el courous the business of truck farming throughout the sections now engaged in it, and start up new ventures in various localities along the lines of transportation. Already we hear of extensive preparations along the Savannah, Florida and Western railway, and it is its estimated branches that, for with opening favorable new seasons, the crop of next year will double that of the present.

Truck farming around Savannah, on the neighboring islands, and along the inland waters of the coast, is also on a boom from the successes of the season just closed, and stimulated by increased facilities for shipping, with probably reduced rates, Chatham county will soon take the lead in this branch of business, as ber convenience of location and adaptability give her a decided advantage. She should he famous all over the north for the excellence of her early fruits and vegetables. Her sandy soil warms up very early in spring, and (list with her proximity to the Sea, must enable her farmers to compete snccessfully with interior sections much further south. Her advantages need but to be known to induce thousands to engage in this profitable industry, the wise policy pursued increasing by her facilities transportation and reducing companies, rates of freight in the ratio of the increase of business -thereby increasing the profits of the farmers-will go far toward advertising her superiority as a truck-producing region. A MAN TO WATCH SIGNALS.

From the New York Tribune. The train dispatcher at an important railroad repter in this state has lately expressed the opinion that within a very few years every locomotive will carry either in the cab or over the boiler or upon the pilot a man whose sole duty will be to watch signals, switches, bridges, crossings, junctions, and the track before him. "So time and money," says this practical railroad man, "are spent in guarding against the possibility of accident that serious ones are very rare. But in the midst of all this race for perfection the engineer is as he was at first. He is unimproved.

He is only 8 man, and the best man can do so much. An gineer WAS all that WAS wanted a few years ago, but now it is different. An engineer of to-day has got more than he can do. Somebody must ease him of some of his load. As it is now, the engineer may be trying his water-gauge just when be should be looking at a signal.

There are half a hundred necessary things he may be doing that will take his eyes off the road for an instant. He will miss a signal, and a wreck will be the result. Mind. I don't say what has happened. 'I am not going to tell any tales out of school.

I only say it will happen. The only thing is, as I tell you, third man in a little house of his own abead or over the engineer with a rope communicating with a gong in the bell. You'll see bim there in a few MERIDIAN AND NEW ORLEANS. From the Cincinnati Commercial. The contractors on the New Orleans and Northeastern road, which is part of the Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific system extending it from Meridian, Mississippi, to New Orleans, recently engaged 1,000 additional men for the purpose of rushing through the contracts and finishing the road.

In the opinion of the principal contractors, the road will be completed by the 1st of December and ready for operation at that time. This will be particularly good news to the managers of the system, as it was feared some months ago the contractors would not be able to complete the road sooner than the 1st of February. The contracts, when le, effect that the work should be conspieted by the Ist of Norember. It is seldom that contractors are able to complete the construction of roads within months of the time stipalated in the contracts. As soon as the road is ready for use it is the intention of the company to run through and solid trains from here to the -Crescent City.

THE KENTUCKY CENTRAL. From the Louisville Courier Journal. The Kentucky Central is controlled by Mr. and Nashville and the East Tennessee, VirHuntington. By contract with the Louisville ginia and Georgia.

it will have access over the new line to Kuwxvile. do Judo chased or obtained a perpetual lease of the Riebmond branch, which extends to Stanford, and it will shortly build the missing link between Winchester and Richmond. But it Ohio does not stop, there; the Cumberland and people evidently have their eyes turned toward Nashville, and are buying up the remains of the old Cumbarland and Ohio road, between Greensburg, Kentucky, and Gallatin, Tennessee. This they are doing very quietly, but their plans are sufficiently developed to leave little doubt that the Kentucky Central is to be extended to Tennessee. THE NORTH CAROLINA MIDLAND.

From the Richmond State. At a meeting of the stockbolders the North Carolina Midland Railway company, at which all of the stock of the company was represented, held at Hinston, N. Thursday last, resolutions were unanimously adopted authorizing the board of directors to issue bonds to provide for the construction of the entire road, and to execute a mortgage to guarantee the said bonds; also to lease the line, when completed, to the Virginia Midland railway company. Steps will be taken at once by the officials of the North Carolina Midland company to carry out the above resolutions, and it is thought the construction of the road will be commenced at an early day. The North Carolipa Midland road will extend from Danville through Rockingham, Stokes, Forsythe, Devidson, Davy and Rowan counties, in North Carolina, to Mooresville, Iradale county, one of the richest sections of country in the state THE MEMPHIS AND CHARLESTON.

From the New Orleans limes If the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia system is to the Memphis and Charleston road, the question may be asked, 'Who will get it? It is not that the road will be operated independently. There is an opinion among eastern magnates that Mr. Fred Wolffe, of the Cincinnati, New Orteans and Texas Pacific system, and President Clarke, of the Chicago, Louis and New Orleans road, will be bidders for it. From the Louisville Journal. The Cincinnati i Commercial is anxious to know what is to become of the Memphis and Charleston when' the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia loses it.

If the Commercial will carefully study the names of the directors of the Memphis and Charleston, it will be evident Louisville and Nashville is at least to have a voice in deciding its destiny. plan to take the Memphis and Charleston from the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia is credited to Judge Jerry ter, who 18 attorney of the Louisville and Nashville. PROHIBITION IN IOWA. A Suit Commenced to Test the Legality of the Prehibitory Amendment In lows. DAVENPORT, Iowa, August most interesting and important suit has been entered in the district court of this county.

It is in appearance a suit to compel payment of some money said to be due, but in reality it is the first test case under the new prohibitory amendment. Kohler Lane, a firm of brewers, sue John Hill, A a saloon keeper, for $113 for beer delivered to him from August 3 to August 21. Hill has refused to pay this money on the ground that under the amendment to the constitution, which went into eftect on August 3, the manufacture of beer for sale as a beverage was illegal; that when they brewers sold him this beer they knew it was to be sold as a beverage and therefore committed an. anconstitutional act. In answer to this the plaintiffs bave tiled an amendment to their original petition, stating that the constitution is has not been, in force.

for the following, reasons: The eighteenth general assembly was supposed to agree to the ure. The senate at once voted upon it, and no mention of the matter was ever made in the house of representatives. Second, the time prescribed by the constitution was not allowed to elapse between the vote of the nineteenth assembly and the general vote by the people. Third, that since 1858 brewing has been specially protected by the law in Iowa, and the pretended amendment renders valueless the large investments made under that sanction and protection. Fourth, that there has Koen an illegal change in- the punctnation of the measure, as it was enrolled in the eighteenth assembly, that materially changes its meaning.

Fifth, that when the nineteenth assembly was supposed to vote upon the amendment, the house and senate really voted upon two different measures. Sixth, that the amendment was not printed previous to the election, according to provisions of the constitution. On these grounds the plaintiffs ask that judgment may be granted. This has all been arranged by the contesting parties, mostly to test the legality of the amendment, but will be fought through by each to the end. This case comes to trial on the second Monday of September, and will be watched with the greatest of interest.

FREE THINKERS' CONVENTION. The Clergy Denounced -Defending Themselve Against "the Wiles of the Church." WATKINS, N. August were adopted at the New York State Free Thinkers' association here to-day, declaring that the only men in the world who cannot rejoice in the freedom of thought, and whose material interests are promoted by ignorance, are the clergy, who oppose it and its advo cates because the spirit of untramelled research in the field of criticism threatens to destroy the claim they make in behalf of the Bible- it is a revelation from Heaven, plainly and infallibly inspired, and that they are the divinely commissioned and only authoritative expounders of its contents. The Bible itself teaches no such doctrine. The claim Was hoisted by the English clergy at the time of its translation to serve their selfish and ambitious ends, since the only passage in it (II Timothy, hi.

1), which served to teach that dogma of plenary inspiration has been correctly rendered by the Revised New Testament, and proved to teach that the profitableness ef any writing is the test of its inspiration. They demand the right to believe creeds in all their variety, and also the right to reject them, and assert that there should be no discrimination made by the law in favor of any class of citizens, or on account of their religious opinion, as in the case of the exemption of church property from taxation, and in the employment at the public expense of chaplains to say prayers for the religious gratification of congressmen, soldiers and sailors, and others who may be there. They urge free thinkers throughout the country to band together in local leagues "for the purpose of defending themselves against the wills of the church and preserving the secularity of the national and advise the establishment of liberal libraries for circulating liberal books and newspapers among the people. They embrace the spiritualists, nationalists, deists, agnostics and other classes of thinkers, The following resolutions with regard to women were also adopted: Resolved, That in the opinion of this convention no invidious distinction should be made which denies women the right to be man's competitor for any position to which they are eligible. Resolved, That having abolished the sovereign rights of kings and priests, we.

believe in the same rights of labor; that it should be the sovereign of the earth; that labor creates the wealth of the world, and the wealth of the world should be justly distributed among those who produce. We extend our hearty sympathy to those many toilers in our own land and others who do not receive their reward. We assert that free thought makes room for industrial liberty, It is churches and theology that have crushed the masses. It is other worldliness that has made this world a hell to those who earn their bread by the Sweat of their face. We believe in the dignity of work, and it is through work that the worship of the future shall be expressed.

SOLD BY ALL DRUGGISTS. aug-7-dly mat wed 1 2 or ad col 5p HOW A SPINAL COLUMN WAS FRACTURED AND MENDED. Miss Hammond' Unique Experience -The Story of Providential and An Interesting In.

a the Art Burgical-She Thought stance, Head Weighed Very Heavy. From the San Francisco Chronicle. It is not often that a woman falls out of the fifth-story window of a hotel and escapes instant death, and it is far less seldom that the woman survives her fall when her injuries include what in common parlance is called a broken neck. Such, however, has been the almost unique experience of Lizzie Hammond, sometime chambermaid of the Brooklyn hotel in this city. The readers of the Chronicle will doubtless remember the accident here referred to, but to round off the story of succeeding events a recital of the facts attending the girl's almost miraculous descent will be in order.

On the 29th of July Lizzie Hammond, then supposed to be attending to her duties on the floor of, the hotel ander her charge, was inquired for in the office. Lizzie was sought for but could not be found. Not understanding her absence, the proprietor joined in the search, and, having reason to believe the missing servant was in room 124, occupied by George Phillips, applied for admission. For a time it was refused, but, on the proprietor's threat to use force, the door was opened, and the room, except for the man's presence, was found to be vacant. Almost immediately after this visit to 124, a shriek was heard in the room directly below, and its occupant, a lady, rushed into the ballway, screaming that a falling body had shot past her window.

There was a general rush below, and there, in the narrow alley between the western ball of the hotel and the eastern wall of the Mercantile library building, the inanimate person of Lizzie Hammond was found. A unattress was procured, and the unconscious girl was carried over the rubbish of the excavation on the corner of Pine Sansome streets around to the hotel and taken up to her room. After remaining comatose about four hours she recovered consciousness, and an examination was made. A DESPERATE RESOLVE. A BROKEN NECK.

It was found that there were long narrow burns on her hands, nearly exposing the bone; that there were similar wounds on her legs; that there was a luxation of the left shoulder, and that she was severely bruised from head to foot. Investigation and inquiry revealed the cause of these injuries to be as follows: She was in No. 124 when the proprietor demanded admission, and fearing the result of being discovered in a compromising position, formed the desperate resolve of trying to slide down by the telegraph wires, which passed outside the window, to the room below. Throwing up the sash she, being an active girl, passed her legs around the wires, grasped them with her bands and began her descent. She had not counted upon the result of the momentum, and had not slid a dozen feet before the wires burnt into her flesh like red-1 rods.

She found she was flying the air, and loosing her hold in her agony, went plunging down seventy feet. The two walls spoken of above are not more than six feet apart, and Lizzie must have bounded like a ball from one side to the other. But the sheer fall was broken, and by a further happy chance she happened to plump upon a stout telephone wire stretched some ten feet from the ground, which she broke, but which also broke her fall. THE NECK DISLOCATED. It was thought at first that the burns, tusions and luxation made up the extent of her injuries, but a suspicious immobility Jed the attending surgeon, Dr.

F. F. Lord, to examine her neck, and he was led to believe that her neck was dislocated, a diagnosis that WAS confirmed by other medical called in consultation. This class of injury is of such rare occurrence that attention may be directed for a few moments to its seat, even if something like a first lesson in anatomy should follow. Directly under the occiput on the back part of the head is the first cervical vertebra or atlas, so named from supporting the globe of the head.

The chief peculiarities of this bone are that it has neither body nor spinous process, the processes being those blunt projections that one can feel by passing the hand over the back ef the neck. The atlas has two arches the posterior, through which the spinal column passes into the base of the brain, and the anterior, through which the odontoid process passes, the two separated by a strong tanar ligament. 'The odontoid process is a stout, prominent projection, tooth-like in form (hence odontoid) which rises perpendicularly from the upper and anterior part of the second cervical vertebra, or axis, which lies directly below the atlas. this odontoid process the muscles are attached, which serve to rotate the bead upon the spine, and it is upon the axis that the rotates, with the odontoid process, rougbly speaking, AS a pivot. When a man is hanged the atlas is thrown forcibly off the axis, the odontoid process impinges sharply upon the spinal cord and death ensues; SO that the neck is not actually broken, but is dislocated.

A GRAVE CASE. In a modified form this is the injury received by Lizzie Hammond; that is the axis was wrenched from its proper position under the atlas, the odontoid process, forced out of place, stretched the traverse ligament referred to, its roughness alone preserving tue spinal cord from fatal pressure. The symptoms of vertebral dislocation are diminished inobility, great local pain and tenderness, and -it is a backward settling of the head forward on the shoulders. No matter what portion of the vertebral column a dislocation takes place the prognosis is always grave, while of course, the chances of a fatal issue vary inversely with the the distance of the point of injury from the brain. Hence it follows that the dislocation of the second cervical vertebra means a particularly grave case.

Indeed, lesions above the third cervical vertebra prove usually immediately or very quickly fatal, and the cases of long survival and, much more, of complete recovery, are considered among the happiest and rarest results of surgery, moment's consideration of the great dangers to the spinal cord that are involved and the numerous chances of instant death should the tion become complete by any sudden movement, and the reader will be able to form an idea of the desperate condition of Lizzie Hammond. SETTING THE NECK. But the dislocation being there, it had to be reduced, and yesterday morning Dr. R. A.

McLain, Dr. F. F. Lord, the attepding surgeon, and Dr. H.

N. Rucker, of Merced, met at the Brooklyn hotel and decided to perform the difficult and hazardous operation of setting 8 "broken neck." The patient had not been informed of the exact nature of the ration, but she evidently regarded the gathering of doctors with suspicion. Still, she displayed extraordinary nerve, and when asked to sit up, grasped her head by the bair -her strange fancy being that it weighs enormously--and submitted to an examination without a murmur. She was then told to lie quietly down and think on the pleasantest subject possible. A towel saturated with chloroform was applied to her nostrile, there WAS a strong convulsive twitching of the limbs, then Lizzie "babbled green fields," cried, wished she might die just then, breathed stertorously and was asleep.

The patient was placed across the bed and the disposition of duties was swiftly made. To Dr. Lord and a Chronicle reporter was detailed the traction, Dr. McLain the replacement of the dislocated bone, and Dr. Ruekler attended to the application of the Placing the attendant at the patient's feet with orders to firmly hold them, Dr.

Lord placed his left Laud under her occ- put and the two first fingers of the right in her eye orbits. At a signal a steady, powerful pull was given and the ligaments cracked, while with dexterous fingers Dr. McLain thrust the axis forward into its proper position. There was a single critical moment, the head was moved sharply this way and that to see if rotation and molaid back on the pillow, and the operation bility were again in play, the, patient was was over. In a very few minutes Lizzie began babbling anew, then cried afresh, asked what was going to be done to her and suddenly complained that her head was en crooked, That fancy may last some days, SO will a severe pain in the neck and head, but, unless inflammation sets in meningitis or myelitis sets in, Lizzie Hammond's youth and magnificent constitution will carry, her through, and the California" girl may live until a ripe old age and be able to tell grandchildren the how she broke her neck and bed it mended." THE SULTAN'S SERAGLIO.

How the Great Establishment on' the Bosphorns Conducted. From the Brooklyn Eagle. The Sultan's seraglio, whose buildings stretch to the length of a mile and a half, a mile from Therapia, contains more than 3,000 inmates, and is city in itself. Here the government of the empire is carried on chiefly by women and children. The viziers and ministers are but the servants of these secluded creatures, and although at times a statesman, supported a strong palage clique, may wield real power, he seldom does No for long, nor is his power very great.

From the moment when he enters office he is secretly assailed by a host of enemies whom he does not see, and whom he cannot disarm or propitiate. A Turkish minister who is advised to begin refornis may promise all that an ambassador demands but he well knows that any innovation he attempted would disturb vested interest which night happen to be defended by some Circassian favorite of the sultan's, or by some insolent baltadji, confidential servant the time being of the sultana valide. As for the sultan, as a rule he is as much at their mercy as his ministers. A puppet in the hands of women, he never knows exactly who rules him, but is obliged, for peace's sake, to do as his mother, sisters, kadines or favorites order. More than one sultan, weary to death of seraglio intrigues, would have been glad.to make a clean sweep his female court, but any st- -p in this direction would have led to en conspiracy and deposition.

The loyalty of the people, which is great toward the office of the padisbah, is null as regards the individual who holds the office, so that, provided there be sultan, the people care little who he is, nor would they be disposed to take up arms for any padishan who had been disposed by a palace plot. The seraglios for there are two, the new one, where the court of the remaining sultan resides, the old one to which the favorites of departed sultans are relegated -harbor between them some 4,000 persons, and are a source of ruinous expense to the treasury. Not only are the allowances of the he sultan's kadines, ikbals (favorites) and guienzdes (aspirant's favorites) large, but the ways of the palace are extravagant. Each of the imperial ladies has her daira. or retinue of companions, male and female servants; and all these people scatter gold about without counting whenever they have a whim to Sultans do not contract regular marriages, and the reigning lady at the seraglio is never sultan's but his mother.

She bears the title of sultana valide, and all the inmates of the seraglio owe her servile obedience. Her household consists of about 250 servants and guards. Next to her in rank comes the hasnadar ousta, or mistress of the treasury, who is generally a shrewd old woman, promoted from the ranks of domesticity for her talents in gossip and housekeeping. If the sultana valide dies the hasnadar succeeds her as queen of the seraglio; and this arrangement sometimes leads to strange consequences. Under Abdul Medjid the palace was ruled for years by a basnadar who bad been a washerwoman, Sand chief adviser was a churlish baltadit (liewer of wood) who could not read, but had the power of dismissing viziers.

It was, in fact, baltadji who ruled Turkey. After the hasnadar come the su'. tan's semi-lawful wives favorites in the following erder: First, the four kadines, who rank as spouses until his majesty divorces them and gives them in marriage to some pasha, which he does pretty often; then the ikbals or favorites, to the number of five or six, and then the aspirant. favorites, whose number is unlimited. A girl in the seraglio, even if she be a simple cavedji or coffee bearer, becomes 8 guieuzdes or aspirant favorite from the mere fact of the sultan's making a complimentary remark on ber.

The word is derived from guieuz, eye, and it means a giri which has attracted the master's giances. If, for instance, his majesty, while visiting one of his relatives, remarks carelessly, "what pretty girl that is who brought in the coffee," the damsel is at once and without further parley ted to the rank guieuzdi, which gives her 8 suite of apartments, a daira and a claim on the imperial excbequer for the remainder of her life, or until such time as the sultan finds her a husband. As every one who marries from the seraglio takes with her her clothes, jewels, furniture, servants, carriages and a lump sum in money, which often amount to thousands of dollars, it may be imagined bow the civil list is mulcted when there are many aspirant favorites. After the sultan's favorites, precedence is given to kadines-effendis, mother of some prince or princess the blood. and to the foster sisters of the.

sultans or princes and princesses; then the sultans, unmarried princesses of the blood. Foster parents and their children are always regarded as permanent members of Turk's housebold, and during several years Nahir Hanoun, Abdul Medjid's foster sister, held a paramount influence in his household. Coming now to the male members of the seraglio, we find, in addition to the necessary staff of chamberlains, secretaries, guards, eunuchs, scullions and cooks, a corps pages and musicians, and a very army of barbers, shampooners, tasters of the sultan's food, athletes, buffoons, ram fighters, astrologers and grooms. The ram fighters were appointed to amuse Abdul Aziz, they maintained by the present sultan because it is almost impossible to dismiss any one who has once beld office in the palace without giving him a pension. The same may be said of the astrologers, whose functions have become a sinecure, though they are occasionally summoned into the haremlik to entertain the ladies by tortune-telling.

As for the buffoons and dwarfs, they have always been numerous, for ladies living in seclusion must be made to laugh when time hangs heavy on their hands, and when the music and jigging of the dancing girls begin to pale. These dancing girls form a corps of 300 strong, and as they are splendidly dressed and richly fed, they cost more to keep than a cavalry I need rot enumerate the staff of servants and officials required the stables, (which contain 500 horses,) for the kitchen, the baths and gardens, nor yet the staff of court priests, but enough has been said, perhaps, to warrant the inference that the sultan's court is at once the ccstliest and laziest of the world.
