WHAT WE SAY GOES. 'Whitehall Street. and haa been the home of himself and daughters since the war. During the night General Hampton awoke and noticed a light shining under hla door. He at first supposed the sun had risen, but the light flickered, so he strapped on hla cork, leg and went to the door.

He found the house in flames. He aroused hU daughter, who was still sleeping, and some servants. It was too. late to save anything of value except the swords of three gener'a-llons'of Hamptons. Tneae the.

old warrior secured himself. During the height of the fire General Hampton heard the cries of a pet collie dog, of which he and hla daughter were very fond. It was In a room that waa enveloped. over elghty-one years of age, he made dash at the door and opened It, and waa driven back by the fire and again attempted to enter, when the flames licked about hla face, burning off the hair. Speaking of it.

The lose feels most' keenly le his 11- brary, which waa probably the moat val- uable private collection In the south, one of his hooka being but twenty-four years younger than the printing press. Six thousand volumes, the choicest of hie libraries, were destroyed. He also lost all. hla private- papers and an English the only one of its kind in the country, which he rode all through the war and lias Used on every parade In which he has ever participated.

The Depot Now Hangs Alone on This Proposition the Representatives Announce. The conference between the railroads end the state railroad commission, which did not adjourn until late yesterday afternoon resulted in Mayor Woodward Issuing a special call for council to meet In special session tomorrow to hear from the roads relative to the proposed viaduct for Whitehall street and the subway for Pryor.

The roads accomplished nothing at. the hraring before the railroad commission on yesterday beyond securing a postponement of action for an indefinite period, the commission falling to select any date for the next report. The conference yesterday was exceed Ingly Interesting and the railroads, the state and the city took an active participation In the discussion. There was one significant feature which gave general satisfaction to all and that was the harmony that prevailed throughout the meeting. Who Owns Pryor Street? Attorney J.

Carroll Payne, of counsel for the W. A spoke, reviewing the meeting between the roads and the state commission this morning. He said he thought the roads could get together if more time was granted, but that he did not feel like asking for any more time, as they had asked so repeatedly that they were ashamed to ask again. Judge Anderson, representing the city, opposed the closing of Pryor street. are before this said Judge Anderson, asking for rights not for favors from the Judge Anderson said the city had for years been trying to remedy the grade rrosslng at Whitehall and now the roads were proposing to close up Pryor street and throw all the travel to Whitehall street and keep the danger, now threatened two fold, for a quarter of a century.

Major Thomas suggested a subway, then St Pryor street, and a bridge at Whitehall street, but no action was taken on the suggestion. Judge Atkinson's Opinion. Judge Atkinson, of the commission, made, as a suggestion, the statement that grade crossings were a menace to life and the Whitehall crossing must be solved. Why not put a permanent viaduct from Marietta to Alabama and then erect a magnificent surface depot?" said he. "Then put in subway at Pryor street If that street is' not closed up." He said now was the time to solve the problem, as the buildings to be effected by the proposed viaduct are not very valuable, but soon elegant and permanent buildings would be put up as soon as the grade was permanently established.

"The Peters estate is ready to put up an elegant building at the corner of Peachtree and Whitehall streets as soon as this matter Is adjusted, said Mr. Payne. E. E. SMYTHES NEW POST.

CHICAGO, May 8. A Joint meeting was held here today between eastern and western freight men. The subject under die-cusftJon was the equalisation of domestic and export grain rates In accordance with the views expressed in an opinion recently handed down by the Interstate commission to the effect that the rate on the two classes of shipments should be the same.

While not prepared to concede jurisdiction to the commissioner over export rates, the roads were disposed to comply with the 'findings In the decision, for the reason that under the present conditions there was. really no valid reason for having lower export rates than domestic ones. It was argued by the delegation, however, that circumstances might arise In which a strict application of the rule laid down would be a aerlcus barrier to foreign commerce of the country for an unjustifiable sacrifice of the revenue of the road and care has therefore to be exercised with present compliance with the order should not be construed into acceptance of the committees finding or establishing such a precedent as would prevent differences In the two classes of rales when existing circumstances Justify such difference being made.
