4o Bead On Their Sum-body Mar Ha a a C'haar (u Appear Relure Inele Sana'a Grand Jury War to the ha been declared In the freight department of the east hound railroads There was a hot engagement In Memphis yesterday and the battle Is expected to become general nil along the line today The opitoslng forces have brought forth their heaviest artillery and It is llltely that beforp the campaign doses and gentle peace spreads her mantle over the scene of carnage the reer-hemtiohs of the conflict will have been heard in about all parts of the South At present the conflict is between the Louisville Nashville and the held So far as can be learned the cut v's commenced by the field but at the dose of business last night the Louisville Nashville had that cut and gone 'em one better with a promise to carry the fight on a a long aa there was anything to fight The contest now Is for the cotton traffic Heretofore it has been the case that rates on east bound cotton were posted every day on the Cotton Exchange boards as formulated by the local coil on rate assoclathjn Of whlcht reia-esen tat Ives of tip all eastern roads centering In Memphis are members Yesterdhy no sui rates were posted on the rther hand the floor of 'change was occupied by the Height representatives of the different lines who personally solicited the business to be dispensed by the The hrsl symptom of unfriendly rivalry came in the shape of a cut of about 10 rents on business to New Yolk and Huston points This was made lit the morning by all roads excepting the Louisville fi- Nashville but later in the day that line got In a slash of 13 1-2 cents heating its opponents by 3 1-2 cents The association rste had been in the neighborhood of 65 1-2 cents to Boston and ISoston points and 50 1-2 to New York arid New York Eoints Th Louisville N'admlie cut rings the flgutes down to 37--reu to New York points and 42 to Boston Thera was not much of tush to take advantage of the low rate made yesterday though if further reductions are made today a great Influx of business may be anticipated for it is not likely that the war will be koj't up force and hippers wiil be anxious lo make hay while the sun shines Th firsi reduction yesterday was made almost sunul tsneougly by all lines except the Louisville Nashville so as to suggest an understanding in advance Winn it is found that the Louisville Xashvdle Is determifteil to stay in the game there will doubtless be ail effort to pap up the quarrel Whether there will be an amicable adjustment of differences soon or whether the fight will be kei up for some lime it is hard to say ious con eequehces are to be expected ff a settlement is not soon had There have been suggestions on the street that the Federal grand jury might look into the business in the interest of the interstate commerce regulations But it is not likely that such will be the outcome The Southern Railway Steamship Association directors are scheduled to meet In Augusta today and it is not Improbable but much to be hoped that they will devise some method to terminate the trouble The situation Is the outcome of the withdrawal of the Louisville N'ashv I from the Southern Assoelallon The Louisville Nashville claims to have been given provocation for its with drawn) However that may lie the withdrawal wan not to have gone into effect until March 17 and as a matter of fact the Louisville Nashville is still a mem ber of the association The association directors were to have met at Augusta Ga today to see if some means could not be devised ti Induce the Louisville Nashville to withdraw its withdrawal The Louisville Nashville people have 'up to this time expressed themselves in reasonable terms about the matter They declared themselves willing to stay in if means were provided to prevent the other members of the association from under-cutting them which they allege to have been done in the past The differences might all have been adjusted today but the outbreak of yesterday brings on greater complications and the end cannot now be foretold i The result considered from a local 1 standpoint if the war continues any I considerable time will be that much eot-i ton usually held in Memphis for months will be shipped east while the low rates i are In operation BITTER RATE AVAR Off The Southern Pacific Road Meets the Cote of the Santa Fe Chicago 111 Feb No time was lost by the Southern Pacific road in meeting the cuts In California passenger rates announced by the Santa Fe late Saturday evening It advised all its ronnec-Itions today that they might meet the cut through both Ogden and El Paso This i clearly joins the Issues and shows a disposition on the part of both roads to fight the thing to the bitter end While no reductions to intermediate points have yet been announced all the roads agree that they too will have to be sacrificed and that the rates from the Mis-'aouri River to Colorado Springs Pueblo Ogden and other prominent Intermediate points will have to bear their full share of the reductions It gives Immediate we mean Salvation OH the great pain remedy Price £5 cents i AMUSEJIENTS 'A good lower-floor audience greeted Mr and Mrs Kendal on their first appearance In Memphis last evening at the Grand Opera House and gave them a cordial and appreciative reception There is no question that both of these distinguished artists deserve the fame which has been so liberally given them Both of them are easy graceful and artislically natural and both have a rare and winning magnetism If the play of last night can be taken as a test of ability the skill of Mrs Kendal is much greater than that of her husband She Is simply an Ideal comedienne in the portrayal of a sort of comedy which requires the highest and most delicate perceptions the moBt exquisite tart and the most difflf cult self-restraint The part of Susan Hartley in Scrap of Could be made utterly ridiculous and silly by the least excess A mistake of voice an exaggeration of manner Would destroy the dainty equipoise of a role whose' perfection is as brittle as an eggshell This excess Mrs Kendal did not commit She shadowed every feeling of indifference embarassment solicitude uncertainty and love with a skill so faultless that the spectator scarcely thought of applauding the art of It A more perfect piece of comedy acting was never seen in Memphis Mr Kendal's role is a difficult one also as is any principal role in a comedy whose fun depends for effect entirely upon expression intonation and gesture lie carried It well however and his art would have seemed perfect except for the superlative excellence of his wife The support is not strong last THEREYb BE B4E RAM IV ME4I-rillS AAD OF GOOD UtAlIIA The Roly Qoeettoi la helher the Diamond WIUP Planted In ift-en Park orTlilliaB vvlmt I Doing in Other Southern Cldc For several day past the baseball cranks of Memphis have fieen In a on-dltion bordering on frenzy by reason of a rumor to the effect that the bottom had fallen out of the piospcts for a league team in this city for -the season Of 1894 On the authority of Col It Armour however the announcement is made that whatever basis for that dread rumor existed last week has ben obliterated and exists not now am! is a certainty that the arrangum ms previously made will be carried out to me letter thus placing Memphis light in line with the other Southern league cities There is but one question still undetermined to-wit whether the diamond shall be located at Citizens' Park or at Billings Park While it would seem that Citizens' Park is located more conveniently than the other it is true that it possesses no Be 1 1 facilities for the transportation of p- le Billings Park possesses other advantigos It is quite possible that if the diamond were located out there no obj- lion would be raised to playing the game s-ven flavin the week a consideration of no sninl consequence This park has jiassta into the hands of a syndicate of well known local capitalists who yesterday agreed to organize and incorporate under the name of the Memphis Fair and Roe mg amotion fine of the leading in this venture is General Manager Jane's of the Citizens' Stieil Ilnlvvav Company who also controls ix' Park Evidently the choice rf location of the diamond lie largely with him Manager Frank Graves lias been ordered to report in Memphis at nv is expected on NVednesdav moi rung and immediately upon hi arnval lie will he instructed to proceed at ore to fill out the roster of his team He has already engaged nine men from six of whom contracts have been secured It Is understood though tiiat some of these no are not satisfactory at this end of the line and one o'r two mav be dioppid if better talent can be secuted lor tire money to take their places It seems that in all the cities composing the Southern Baseball Association there is life and activity displayed preparing for the season of Mi4 and in obstacle has yet been met that might militate against the prosperity of tire game Montgomery Ala irritat'd because frozen out of the association did for a while evince a disposition so it I-said to make things watm for the association but lately all thus talk has silti-sided and the wareloud has disappeared At Nashville everything moves along swimmingly The Athletic Park has he leased new grandstand Is about to he built and a new fence is built so that the village on the Cumberland will claim one of the best baseball parks in the Sou'h Among the men signed by Manager Stalling are Catcher Spies Fire'
