-1 BUSINESS MEETINGS. The Railway People Gathering From All Sections at Old Point Comfort. Some Important Decisions Expected From the Interstate Commission To-Day. LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS. Old Point Comfort wffl swarm with railroad men daring the rest of tbe week.

Betides the meeting of tho rate men and ticket agents of tbe Southern Passenger Asaoria-tioa, which assembles to-morrow, tbe Chicago and Ohio River Traffic Association, will convene there July 15. The Southern Railway and Steamship Association holds its annual meeting there to-day. and immediately after the election of officers tbe Executive Committee will commence its sessions. Sev-erai hundred railroad men, representing many of the princijal roads of the country, will be present at these meetings. A Boning and lilting Rrll.

A correspondent of the Xew Orleans Pira-iniw invokes the aid of that journal in call-ins; attention to the matter ot mosquito bars in sleeping-cars. He de- lares that not a mosquito net is to be found on the half dozen- railways that run sieoping-cars out 01 tbat city, "except in few raro cuaea where tue conductors or porters may have them tor their own preservation, and, out of courtesy or for a consideration, may consent to give them up to a perishing passenger," although as be rays "mosquito bars aro as much a necessity of civilized life in this Motion of the country as pillows or shifts." The fV-arwm? indorses tiie complaint and remarks that "every person who has attempted to spend a night 'in a sleeping-car in a region where these insect' pesls are common has realised tbat bis berth was a place of torture instead of one for repose." It seems strange, now that the matter is suggested, that the sleeping-car companies have neglected what is evidently essential to the comtoit of their passengers, and tbe complaints apjiear entirely reasonable. Important Ltecisions Awaited. The Interstate Commission resumes its sessions at asnington to-uay, ami it is given out tbat its decisions on three questions. which it has now naa lor seme tune unuer consideration, will bo forthwith.

The are, tirvt, the right of railway companies to reluse to sell ticKeti over the line or other companies which do not coraiuv with the requirements h. the former in regard to aring ticket cotDiiissioiis; second. me right oi railway wi'ipaur-s iu grant special rates to commercial iravc-ieis, un I th.rd. the ol-ligation of radwr.y ctinipan.es to re -oive and handle on equal terms an Kind ot siock cms and other patent rolling st-ek. It is not stated whtther tte Commission wiil dcci ie on the question oi the right of colored persons to ride in first-clas cars on paying full fare.

Three complaints of this character are before tbe Commission, and southern railroad men. as weii as the Soiitheru public generally, woald be gratitied at a decisiou in the matter. GEORGIA'S ROAD. Ibe Lessees provernenU Pemniid Pay Tor Im- The flatter in the Leg- isiamre. Atlaxva, July 11.

Probability That the Plana of the Home of the Friendless Promo ten Will Be Interrnpted. Did the Council Hare the Bight to Donate the Heal Estate? Discussed From Two Standpoints, When the subject of a "Home of the Friendless" was brought to the attention of the public a few months ago by its phiian- thropic promoters, some of the gentlemen connected with the enterprise presented the project to members of the General Council and besought their aid in forwarding the charitable object. Subsequently a resolution was adopted by the Council donating to the Home two acres of ground, a part of a tract of land owned by the city just south of the House of Refuge and extending to tbe railroad, for the purpose of erecting a suitable building thereon for the institution contemplated. It was done in good faith at the time, and tbe mem bers of Council, only anxious to aid the benevolent gentlemen in their commendable undertaking, adopted the measure without any formal deliberation or discussion. Tbe projectors of tbe Home accepted tbe gift in the spirit in which it was given, and at once increased their efforts to complete the asylum of which they felt the city stood in such vital heed.

Architects were employed, plans for all buddings were secured, and by their energy and perseverance funds suillcient to justify them in proceeding at once with the erection of the structure, on the ground thus supplied them without cost, were The laying of the foundation has already begun, but now 6ERI0C8 STTJ1IBLIXO-BLOCK has loomed up, which threatens to seriously interfere with tbe plans of the builders as well as the good intentions of tbe liberally- inclined d' mors. It is said by some well-informed gentlemen tbat this tract of land came into tbe posses- siou of the city expressly for tbe purpose of Deing converted into a pubuc park, and that according to a charter provision, the Council baa no right to either sell or 111 any other-way dispose of any portion of it, which embraces about seventy-five acres, for any purpose other than that specified in the articles by which it was acquired. A portion of the laud has been tilled by tbe authorities of the House of Refuge for the purpose of supplying that institution with vegetables. taid a gentleman, who had been investigating the matter, to a Cou-RlKR-Joi kxal reporter last nighti "Tbe charter states, I think, that the ground shall be used for no other purpose than a public pork. In fact, no one has a right to till the ground, nor has any railroad or sti-eet car company a right to invade its territory.

The land was purchased about the year 157, and the people were taxed to pay for it." it was ttated yesterday that Judge John Roberts was preparing an opinion on the matter, and that be would turn over the same to the Board of Trustees of the House of Refuge. To a Cocrier-Jxcrxal reporter, however, the Judge denied tbat he knew anything respecting the question. WHAT MR. GILBERT SATS. Hon.

James Gilbert. President of the Board or Aldermen, when asked by a reporter about the matter, sub mitted an explanation which will have the effect of setting to rest the reports that the ground was secured Dy the city for park pur-poHes, and that the authorities of the House of Refuge have no right to use the ground for gardening purposes. "'lheCouucU baa no right to make the graut to the promoters of the Home for the Friendless," he stated, "as the tract of land in question belongs to the House of Refuge. ine council has no more richt to iuu-r. fere ith tbe affairs of the House of Refuse than with tbe affairs of the Sinking Fund, as 001 are entirety independent of city legislation.

The move to grant the Home of the Friendless a few acres on which to build a boiue was started, however, by the Trustees of the House of Refuge, and they desired the Council to adopt the resolution simply-! 10 lunuy lueir acvoi lioerallty, Whicn It IS doubtful that the law permit. The question is, uhi tue uouse 01 iieiuge THE LAWFCL RIGHT to make the donation, and if it does make tbe gi ant, will not the institution to be erected by tbe Home of the Friendless people still be under the control of the Board of Trustees of the House of Refuirei That is the point, I suspect, that is worrying some of the people interested in the matter. Under the charter which governs tbe House of neluge, the case is a most perplexing one. The city gave the land to the House of Refuge and it virtually, controls it. As to the al leged intention of the city to convert the land into a public park, I never heard that before, aud doubt it there is any truth in it.

The boycott which was declared against ITarris Theater several months ago, by the Theatrical Mechanics' Association, and which has since been in successful operation, was yesterday declared off, and the house will hereafter be patronized by the laboring classes. It will Toe remembered that tbe trouble arose from the dismissal of "Paddy" Brick, one of the stage-hands.

The remainder of the mechanical force- in the house, who believed that Brick had been discharged without suflicient cause, approached Britten, the oung local manager, and demanded his re- instatenieut. Tins was done, aud for a bile things ran smoothly enough. On one Saturday night, however, alter a week run. the men went all called into the manager's office and sum marily discharged.

It is a purely American play, and one of the first order; not an every -day story told in an off-hand manner, but a finely woven plot, budt together and worked out with great care.
