PACIFIC MAIL MATTERS

The directors Of the Panama Railroad Company
held meeting yesterday at their Offices, No. SO
Wall street, for the purpose OF taking action in
regard to proposed loan Of $500 900 to the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company. They adjourned after q
rather lengthy debate without having accom-.
plished anything definite, and rumors were rife
that the meeting had been stormy one, and that
1t was unlikely the two companies would be able to
come to terms.
A HERALD reporter called last night upon Mr.
Bellows, the President OF the Panama Railroad
Company at his residence, on TWEEN fourth street,
IN relation to the matter and in reply to the vis
tors fnterrogatons Mr.. Bellows said that the
meeting was very pleasant and quiet one
that the pros and cons OF the AFFAIR were
argued amicably-and that the rumors cir
culated on the street and by the evening
papers were entirely without foundation. He
considered that things were working smoothly and
well, ana thought there was every probability of
the loap being consqmmated without delay or bag
Cling about stipulatiOnS,
The meeting Of the directors Of the Pacific Mail
steamship Company In regard TO the same busi-
ness, which was to have taken place yesterday
was postponed on account OF the Panama Railroad
directors not coming to any definite decision.

The main topic of conversation now at all the
principal watering places is C@sarism.
Mr.. A. G. Jones, President Of the Fulton Bank OF
Brooklyn, is at the Metropolitan Hotel Long
Branch.
Bcv. T. De Witt Talmadge. of Brooklyn, has pur.

gress Hail. Saratoga.
The camp meeting at Round Lake, Rensselaer,

The Mercury speaks thus OF the season at New
port:-"The cry that Newport is dun this season.
seems to be hushed at last There was no real
ground for the report in the first place. except that
there some fifteen less cottages let this season
than last. The past week and the next to come
will show the seasons height, for every hotel and
boarding house is full, and private residences have
no spare rooms. The Ocean House the present
week has dined about 300 each day. The season
will be success"

not gltmmer OF light, and the darkness OF Egypt
thing else. the village is progressive in the matter
o. nsn supply; Ten tons q blue nsh, Spanish
ceived daily and forwarded oy the railways to the
New York market. Eminently conservative In
other things, they are no conservers OF fish.
BABYLON AS 1T Is
IL undoubtedly beautiful village. What 1t Will be
depends much upon the hberaiity OF the railroads
and the abolition OF the spirit OF insane Chinese
exclusivenesS cherished by the mass OF the people.
These people comprise the Smiths, the Conkllns,
tine carrls and the willetts: These names are the
most numerous, and may be classed In the order
given. am told that dry goods drummer came
down here few days ago to look for a MI. Smith
ne forgot his first name-and was sent back to
New York ravtDg maniac. The hotels, OF which
there are two-American House and the Watson
House-are good OF their kind, and harbor no more
mosquitoes than they can help
A PECULIAR FEATURE OF THE PLACE
- tnat It's perfect natural drainage renders 1t free
from fever. The many trout ponds In and around
creeks and carry away all that is noxious and fever
breeding. Mr.. Ltchdeld, OF the Brooklyn Fire In
vicinity-if he has not recently disposed ofit-and
this Is only excelled by Mr.. August Belmont's
twenty acre pond on his 700 acre farm on the road
pleasant and interesting village. Among those
nSying tse elegant residences IN the Vicinity,
ana sasn Aug gasp' Belmont Ra w's EnoI k Sas
!6rcther-in-law Of Henry Megs. Of Peru
Hyde, Vice President OF the Equitable Life Insur.
ance Company, has fine place near lslip, and the
buildings and grounds Of the olympic Club are on
the shore, not far away. In fact the roads about
Babylon, which, by the way, are very good and
well kept, are lined with elegant villas and splendid
mansions.
THK GREAT DRAWBACK
to the progress OF the village Of Babylon, after the
Bourbon donothingism OF the natives, has been
the lack Of spirit and enterprise the part OF the
South Side Railroad people. 1t Is perfectly mOn-
str0us that one should have to spend three hours
in rickety railroad train going q distance OF
thirty-fve miles. More frequent trains, better
time and better guarantees for the safety
OF life and limb, were wanted These
wants are in g measure supplied in
from Farmlngdale to Babylon, now completed.
Trains run at good speed over this road and make
quicker time than the South Side line, the dis
lance from Hunters Point being also less. Still
II should not take one hour and forty minutes for
an engine and few cars to transverse thirty miles
OF level road and the Central and Central Extension
Company will have to do better before they can
expect to build up Babylon to the proportions Of
Elizabeth N. ].
But take it all IN ALL those who have delayed
their vacation until now when tired Summer Is
dropping asleep in the arms OF Autumn, can make
better OF their leisure and enjoy more health
giving breezes OF land and sea, than by adventur
ing on the Central Railroad and spending few
days among the islands and creeks OF the Great
South Bay.

some success. The sales OF Scranton coal at the
Exchange place auction salesroOms gathered TO-
gether large number Of persons who were inter-
ested in coal. The operators did some hard work
In their endeavors to raise the price OF coal, ana
they were victorious TO some extent. The princl-
pal purchasers Of coal yesterday were the andrews
