The Cleveland Railroad Convention
A large convention Of the representatives
of Western railroad companies was held at
Cleveland, on Tuesday, to take into consid-
Grafton the action OF the managers of the
New York and Erie Railroad, in reducing
passenger fares, in violation of the Cleve-
land agreement
After fully canvassing the matter, in con-
nection with the causes which led to the re-
duction, IL was unanimously resolved to put
IN force the thirteenth article of the Cleve-
land agreement. The effect of this action
is TO decline all passenger and freight rela-
tons with the Erie road, to make reduc-
ton on through tickets of three dollars from
al points West to New York. This reduc-
ton is pro-rated off the proportions as now
received by the several roads, There is also
to be reduction of one dollar per ton in
freights. This arrangement is TO take effect
on Monday.
Under this agreement, the Western roads
will refuse to receive tickets from the Erie
road, or to sell tickets over that road; or to
bill freightS in connection with the Erie
road, thus effectively cutting off the latter
from all connection with the West.
1t is doubtful whether this arrangement
can be carried out but should the movement
succeed, the Erie managers will find them
selves in tight place. In any event, n
fierce railroad war may be expected, and its
progress will be watched with interest by
the holders of railroad securities, and also
by the public at large

REMARKABLE INSTANCE OF AFFEcTIoS.-0n
Saturday, the 10th inst, an infant of NJ. c.
Green, in Culpepper county, Va, died; and
on the next day, Jennie, her colored nurse,
Ii years old, expired. The very existence
of the nurse, says the Blue Ridge Repubh-
can, seemed bound up in that of the child.
She never left her from the time she was Ia
ken sick, until the moment of her death,
and in twenty -four hours after they lay I'M
der the same roof, child and nurse, silent
sleepers in their coffin beds. From the mo-
ment the child breathed its last she seemed
to loose all interest in things around her,
even her identity itself, and remained in a
kind of trance up to the hour of her death.
When asked if she was willing to die, she
said: "Yes, have seen that child in the
Savior's arms, and want to go too"
