BIG RAILWAY DEAL.
Interesting Story from New York
Regarding 'Frisco-Georgia
Central Merger.
J. Jc HILL'S PET SCHEME.
Statement Given Out Seemingly Confirm
ing Theory That Central of Georgia
Will Be Controlled by 'Frisco.
Links South to Northeast.
Mr. Robert N. Burnett, of New
York, who gave to the Atlanta Con
stitution the first official and complete
news of the Coast Line-Plant Bvstem
deal, writes that paper of yesterday as
ioiiowsin regard to another mercer
that is causing much interest in rail
road circles:
a iw xobk, a.ugusi o. -That nego
tiations are in progress between reore
sentatives of the St Louis and San
Francisco and those in control of the
Central of Georgia was confirmed to
day by a leading director of one of
the companies, who is personally in
terested in the deal, but who refused
to be quoted. In a word he said :
'The 'Frisco may buy the Central of
Georgia, or, if this is impossible, make
tramc arrangements with the latter. It
wants to buy, but of course the whole
deal may fall through. Negotiations, so
far, have been only tentative, and it is
scarcely possible to give any details.
Those interested would have preferred
it to oe kept a secret until the plans
are worked out, hut if consummated it
will be found to be a part of a more
comprehensive programme, some de
tails of which are to be yet worked
out.
"As to how intimate relations be
tween the 'Frisco and the Southern
would be if the deal goes through, or
whether there will be any relations at
all, I do not care to say. You'll have
to figure' that out yourself.
"This much you can say: The
Illinois Central haa nothing to do with
it, and the Seaboard Air Line is not in
it. The Seaboard, so far as I have
learned, is entirely independent, al
though it is building to Birmingham.
and we will doubtless have the privi
lege of making connections with it if
agreeable to parties just as is the case
with any two companies whose lines
meet. Further particulars I am not
prepared to give until I know whether
the negotiations materialize."
Such are the hints of a very big
scheme which met with denials at J.
P. Morgan & Co's office to-day and
from some of the 'Frisco people. If
consummated it is believed here that it
means the Southern railway is back of
the 'Frisco and ia entirely satisfied
with the deal, which it could prevent
if it saw fit through its large influence
in Central of Georgia. There is a
growing belief that it is part of the
plan oi the Southern to fortify itself
against the encroachments of the Har
riman and Moore syndicate interests.
which some think want to invade the
Southern s territory with an outlet
perhaps at Charleston.
The Central of Georgia, through
the 'Frisco, could be put in perma
nent shape and no violation of law
could be urged against it.
It is wortb nohing that James J.
Hill ,has been advocating an alli
ance of northern and southern
lines so that the Great Northern and
Burlington could ship northern pro
ducts south and bring back cotton and
other articles from the latter region.
The 'Frisco connects with the Bur-
ington at St. Louis and Kansas City.
A glance at the map shows that from
Omaha via the Burlington, the 'Frisco
system would extend from there to
Birmingham, and thence via the Cen
tral of Georgia to Savannah. It is a
pretty direct line and would striking-
y carry out Mr. fctUl's idea.

Almost any Ice will do for freezing Ice Cream or for refrigerating
purposes, but for home use you want the purest. Our Ice is made
from distilled water, condensed from live steam, not exhaust steam.

leave a bad odor in your ice box or cooler. We have had some of
our old customers come back to us on this account.
