A WORD OF CAUTIoN.-Persons attending
yendues at this season of the year cannot be
too careful of their health, standing on the
damp or wet ground, even with the thic G
soled boots is but little protection. yum
oyersboes should also be added. Pneumonia,
dipbtheria and other diseases are very preva,
lent, and there is nothing so provocative OF
them as standing about on wet ground.

sell, Of the Pennsylvania Central: Garrett and
Anderson. Of the Baltimore and OHIO. and Com
missioner Fink, as arbitrator ia behalf Of Mr.

Bliss OF the Boston and Albany road. The ses-
sion was secret,
A representative of the press had a short in
terview with one OF the gentlemen attending the
meeting and was assured by him that the diff
culties between the opposing lines would pc
settled In such manner as would prove highly
satisfactory to the roads as we'll as the business
community.
RAILROAD t. the p proposition submitted BY Com;
missioner Fink was, so 1t Is understood. read and
discussed. As it was neither an acceptance nor
n fn L Mr. Heksen asks
that. instead of apportionng freight for and
from Boston between the competing lines on
ness transacted during the last two years, it
shall be apportioned according to the business
OF last year.
He expressed perfect willingness to have the
whole dispute settled by arbitration, and said
the Grand Trunk would stand by the agree
ment. should that line be assured of the busi-
ness OF Buffalo connection, which was speci-
fed.
Mr.. Fink read a telegram from Mr.. Hickson
authorizing him to act as arbitrator and con-
senting to abide by his decision.
The meeting adjourned at until 80 o'clock
tomorrow.
Col Scott said, In reply to inquiries, that ad-
aournment was made that other parties, under
stood to be Messrs. Hickson and Bliss, should
be present. He also said that rates from the
city Eastward would not be reduced, and that
there was every prospect that the old rates from
Boston to the Westward would be reduced.
Commissioner Fink said telegraphic dis
patches had been sent and received during the
meeting of character which led him to regard
the dfaculties as substantially settled, although
some matters of detail remain to be adjusted
by personal conference. Rates from this city
be accomplished not by reducing rates from
New York. but by increasing the present rates
from Boston.
