Objects OF the Association.
The final session of the seventh semi-annual
meeting of the association of American rail-
way superintendents was held at the Arling-
ton yesterday. Standing committees were
appointed as follows On freight cars, Sanford
Keelcr, of the Flint and Pere Marquette; T..
c. Brown, of the Michigan Central, and J. M.
Metheany, of the Grand Rapids and Indiana
On permanent way, w. s. Dunn, of the Vir-
gina Midland V. Il. McBee of the Western
North Carolina, and j. Il. Child, of the New
York, West Shore and Buffalo.
A resolution offered by Mr.. Kecler, "that
the superintendents take such action at the
next meeting as may be deemed best, AS will
authorize certain standards in freight cars,
such as general height of car body, drawbars,
&C., and that committee be appointed to
report the most practicable method of obtain
ing an automatic coupler of freight cars"
was referred to the committee on freight cars.
The president, secretary, and treasurer wero
constituted a committee to address the gen.
eral managers of the different railways to
impress upon them the general advantage to
be derived from the general attendance of
the superintendent upon the meetings of the
association. L. G. Wtlansley, assistant of
the president of the Cincinnati, Wheeling
and New York railway, was elected II mem
Der. The association adjourned to meet in
New York in April next.
This association is composed of railway
superintendents of the United States and
Canada, and has now 100 members. 1t was
formed for the purpose of social intercourse,
mutual Improvement, and exchange of views,
The most important thing to the public which
it has done was the adoption of the district
system of time. The country is divided into
five sections, and all railways in any one
section will run upon the same time thus
avoiding much confusion. The system will
90 into operation about Nov. 10.

clear, soft exquisite. The whole paper is
highly interesting.

His Sudden Death Rt Philadelphia OF
Apoplexy-Bricrs sketch OF Ilis Career.
The death of Mr.. William p. Copeland,
which occurred at the residence of his sister,
on Woodbine avenue, Germantown, Phila-
delphia, early yesterday morning, will be
deeply regretted by largo circle of friends
in this city.
Mr.. Copeland was native of Richmond
Va, though he resided at tho north during
the greater portion of his life. He served
throughout the war in q Pennsylvania regi-
ment and then settled in this city as a clerk
in the house of representatives, which he
subsequently resigned to enter the field of
journalism. He has been CONNECTED at diff
ferent times with THE NATIONAL REPUBLI-
CAN, the New York Mail and Erprese, Blu ufalo
Commercial, New York Graphic, New York
Bulletin, Brooklyn Eagle and New York Jour
nal Of Commerce, of which paper he was the
Washington correspondent at the time of his
death. His speciality was thorough knowl-
Odge of legislation relating to tariff and
finance, and upon these subjects as well as
upon mining and railway interests he was
regarded as high authority.
Mr.. Copeland was man of genial nature
and generous impulses, and probably no man
in the newspaper profession was moro gener-
ally known or more heartily liked. He was
in the forty-frst year of his ago and, as he
had only complained of feeling unwell on
Friday last, his death, which was caused, it is
supposed, by Bright's disease of the kidneys,
was most unexpected. He leaves wife, who
is completely prostrated by her husbands
sudden death, and two children.
There will be meeting of newspaper cor
Respondents, at the rooms of the Press club,
at o'clock this afternoon to take appropriate
action regarding the death of Mr.. Copeland.
The remains Of Mr.. Copeland will arrive
here from Philadelphia at an early hour this
morning. The funeral will not take place
until tomorrow or Friday, the arrangements
for which have not as yet been completed. A
large number of kilograms expressing sym
pathy with the family were received yesteI'
