M " Sunday's - Atlanta Constitution , gives the following interesting stuff about the railroad deal:. The gossips iSaytthat Mi. Ryan S paid $160 a share for the Seaboard and Roanoke stock.' He- paid that to ' General Johnfiill. General Gill had an option on the Watts-Robinson-Mc- Lane ponied stock at $110. The dif- - ference of $40 a share was divided betwoen the Mercantile Trust Com-pany,-of Baltimore, and General Gill, : the latter taking $30 and giving the trust company $10 a share. On the . 4,000 shares, General GUys commis . sion was $160,000.: The trust got - .,140,000 ou t of the deal and the 'pool ' received $440,000, or "an advance of 1 just $.'100,000 over the market price. . s As. a bull operator, Vice-President St John heads the -listSiThey all said that the rate war was only, a - . scheme to force the Southern to buy. ' If that was true, Vhat a magnificent ' field is offered to a man of his talent : to take hold of Southern stock It is quoted at $3, and there is $120, v 000.000 of it x It has been Vigorous-' ly denied that the Southern bought ' the Seabdad, : Now , suppose the Southern were' to make war on the . Seaboard and force Mr. Jftyan .to r . buy it at 110. ", There would be a m deal with millions in it v yir The purchasers of the. Seaboard :' are looking into the books to see - what the system has been doing.

There ; were times when the boys had to wait a long time for the ghost to walk- . A receivership was frequently predicted, but bj v careful financiering the property iwas keplfout of the "Courts except as to injunctions. Mr. St. John" was " secured to steer the system off the breakers and when he got down Jo biisi ness '.; hV red uced J expenses, ' trimmed the sails and kept off the . rocks. lie has been charged with all manner of crimes, but the officers of the freight association testify that while the Seaboard was a member it observed thd ? agree,ment strictly . This comes right from headquarters Mr. St. John's instructions -were to obey the agreement faithfully, and everybody was put on notice that Ir regular methods would be punished - by dismissal. -' When the Seaboard went out and began cutting, It put everybody on notice aud its reduo- tions ; were open. . According to a - statement from a Chicago authority who knows Mr, St. John " well, that gentleman .when in the west, was a stickler for -maintenance of agreements and rates. " c - The New York Mail and Express . quotes a member of the syndicate which has bought the Seaboard, as saying that MY.

" "He has conducted a very stubborn fight, and why cannot he, pursue a policy of peace as success fully as he has waged a policy of warfare? Mr. St., John has done wonders for the Seaboard Air-Line. We regard him as" one of the best railroad men In the country, andit would be bard to find a man to fill his place." ' - . . This seems to have' come from Mr. IlenryCrawford, who was .with Mr. Ryan and Mr. Harvey when the purchase was made.; ; : - ' Mr. St. John is said to be well : nl,;used with the turn inaffairs. The K.-t time he was in Atlanta he said to a friend that hehad no personal f cling in the fignt that was being v -.-J and declared that it was purely a matter of business. fk it muy be that he will continue tLe active head of tho Seaboard. ; e tlink that if he were to retire it would betuVcn by the public as c i 1 ee t! at the tie w owners of the j i 'y r, -an to identify it closely with other systems, or at least to operate it practically as part of some other company, ' " An interesting bit of gossip now is that Messrs.

Mr. Hoffman wa seen at his office in the Equitable building by a reporter -for The News, and made the following statement regarding status of the negotiations for . the controlling interest in the Seaboard and Roanoke railroad, which is the parent company of the Seaboard Air Line system: ' r 'T nm nnit-Qf! n ir i Vi Snnhnfipd All Line is the interest of its stoekhold- Warned of coming trouble, a number of , the large owners. have pooled our shares in tbe hands of a committee in whose ability and in-. tegrity I have absolute confidence. That committee is in control of the situation, and I advise all stockhold ers to sign the pooling agreement without hesitation or delay, as it in-1 sures fair treatment to all signers alike.! Beyond this, I have nothing to say, except that I have given Jour years of unceasing care to the prop erty, at great cost to myself, and have received for my services $19, 000 salary per annum, and not $37,. 000, as has been reported . " It will be observed that Mr. Hoff man does not deny that negotiations are on foot. His -admission that the situation is. in control jf the pooling committee is considered significant. This ' is believed to mean that the New York syndiiate will have to se cure control through the committee Mr. Hoffman refers to The Mer cantile Trust and Deposit company, however, is still receiving' options and reports that stockholders are signing the agreement daily. A GIN DESTROYED And Twenty-Six Bags of Cotton Burned and Injured. Yesterday afternoon1 about five o'clock fire was observed in the cot ton gin of Mr. Jessie Winborne, situated eight miles South-west of Raleigh in Swift Creek township. The flames made rapid headway and in a short period the large gin all contents and a number of bales of cotton on the outside were en tirely consumed.- : ; ; v C The gin house was a very large structure.' The flames carried w itb it twogins and condensers, a press, engine and boiler, five bales of seed cotton and , 2,500 bushels of cotton seed. - On the outside in front of the gin there were 21 bales of cotton ready for the market, six of these were totally destroyed, six slightly burned and 'the remainder . more or less damaged. The toss is estimated , to be be tween $2,000 and $3,000. There was no insurance on the cotton or gin. Mr, Winborne does not know the origin of the fire. .

C, special to the Atlanta Constitution says: - " Attorney General Barber, of South Carolina, has addressed brief notes to Thomas F. Ryan anGcnerafl Sam Thomas, who have just .obtained control the Seaboard Air Line and who last month "purchased the Port Royal and Augusta and Port Royal and Western Carolina, which form a continuous line from Port, Royal to Greenville, S. C, via Augusta, Ga.', to prove to- the satisfaction of the Special railroad board that' they," in making such purchase, had no con nection or understanding with .the Southern. This special board . eon piste of the' railroad commissioners, the governor and tbe attorney gen eral. The State authorities express belief that there is something "un derground" in this deal and , say they -propose to use the power given by the new constitution to prevent what is regarded here as a gobble of these lines by the Southern. - It is feared that the bottling up of the Port Royal is again contemplated and with it the violation of the State laws. A provision was put in the constitution last year, which was suggested by the troubles the ad ministration had in " u n bottling "the Port Royal, prohibiting the sale of any railroad line, to a parallel or competing line or in the interest of such iine, or for other than legiti mate business enterprise. It also requires the purchasers to prove to the satisfaction of a special commit tee, constituted as above stated, that their purpose does not conflict with the letter or spirit of this provision. As "satisfactory evidence" is Vague Governor Evans was asked this eve ning whether a sworn statement of Messrs Ryan and Thomas that they ! had not transgressed this provision be considered "satisfactory." He replied that it would not, in view of the developments in connection with the purchase of the Goorgia Central. What would ue satisfactory he would not state, saying that was a matter for the board to determine. ' If tbe evidence is not satisfactory, the State has no power and is required by the constitution to annul the sales. , , TODAY'S MARKETS. Nw York, Oct. 12. Cotton quotations furnished by G. E.
