al passenger and ticket agents OF the
Pacific roads and their eastern con-
nections met here to-day, for the pur.
pose of adjusting the rates and divis-
ions of the Pacific coast passenger

issue and prepare statement OF the
main questions. which are: first, the
establishment of rates between COM
mon points east of the Missouri river
and Pacific coast points; anG. second,
a satisfactory division of such rates
between the eastern and western

VIRGINIA CITY, Oct. Is, 1888.
The town is quiet and but little of
interest is occurring. The principal
topic OF local convers a ion is the we'd
ding Of Stephen E. Bickford known
as Dick Bickford) and Mrs. Sallie
Brown, a decided "brunette.' 1t
happened last Wednesday week, but
as matrimonial alliances between the
Caucasian and negro races are not
frequent in this nick o the woods,
the event has been more than the Or
dinary nine days wond.r and is
still fruitful subject for the corners
to dilatc upon. 1t is to be hoped that
the Faber showers of other towns
will not take advantage
of the occurrence and discard the So
briquet of the Social City" when al
luding t. Virginia, and replace it
with the more alliterative but less
acceptable one of the "Miscegenate
