The Nickel Plate.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 30.-The annual meet
Plate, to have been held at noon to-day
was postponed till later hour. Inter
views with representatives of the Wander
bilt interest indicate that the only change
in the directory will be the substitution OF
Fred Vanderbilt for manager. In order
to have quorum at New York, VIM.
X. Vanderbilt will be president, the former
will be general manager temporarily, al
least, and perhaps permanently. General
Manager Newell, of the Lake Shore
will not be in the board, and
young Mr.. Vanderbilt reiterates what his
father has previously said that the Nickel
Plate will not be managed III harmony with
the Lake Shore, but will be operated thor
ougly independently, and bein all respects
separate and distinct. No annual report
will be submitted. The directors say the
road has been reasonably successful thus
far. Through passenger trains will not be
put on regularly until the western road is
better ballasted and terminal facilities are
arranged at both ends. The company ex-
poets to enter the Chicago pool in due
time, but now is getting what business it can

was chosen president, D. W. Caldwell vice

Hammerslay assistant treasurer. The Van
derbilt interest voted 100000 shares. LIN
Schwann and B. G. Mitchell resigned as
secretary and treasurer before the meet
ing. They hold similar positions for the
Seney syndicate. President Vanderbilt
replying to question, says that if the road
does not pay fixed charges, the Lake Shore
will not pay the deficiency; that the Lake
Shore assumes no obligation further thar
any other stakeholder. He expects TIT
Nickel Plate to earn at least fixed charges
and says it will be maintained as sepa
rate organization in all respects.
In addition to the 100000 shares owned
by Vanderbilt's party, they voted 150,OO'
shares by proxy,

Charities SfraUed or Stolen.
TLondon Telegraph.

City charities appear, from a recently
published report, to enjoy a peculiar
knack Of losing themselves more effectual-
ly than needle is said to be lost in a pot
tie of hay. Eighteen separate requests
belonging to the church where Milton lies
buried have somehow or other been mis-
laid. Audley's gift for the ''poor's use by
increasing the poor's stock" is clean gone
In 1865 Yate Blackstone gave ESQ to be
put out at interest to buy buckram cloth
for poor folks underclothing Money was be-
queathed for apprenticing poor glovers'
sons, for purchasing ''good strong kersey
to be dyed sad-brown color for fatherless
children" One benefactor left bequest
for bread, another for Goals, another for
stockings to poor widows" and yet an
other for sermons in Lent" But buckram
and kersey, bread and Goals, stockings and
sermons, have all disappeared. along with
the money to buy them. The city of Lon
don is notorious for mysterious disappear
ances of money and moneys worth. Every
year the incoming sheriffs, in presence of
the city solicitor, do suit and service by
chopping billets of wood and counting
iron horseshoe nails for lands and heridit-
aments which no longer exist on the map.

HE LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.
JOINT CONVENTION.

There was no undue enthusiasm" man
ifested in the joint convention yesterday
There was a goodly number of male spec
tators in the gallery, but no more so than
during the general sessions OF the house.
Only 116 votes were cast for United States
senator, twenty members being absent,
sick and snow-bound, the
remaining twelve not recorded
being composed of pairs. The only feat
ure was letter to the speaker from Rep
resentative John Groetsch of Sibley county.
The letter was road by the clerk and IS
given herewith as written:
DAYToN's BLUFF,St. Paul, Jan. 20, 1888,
Hon. L. Fletcher, Speaker of the House OF
Representatives: On account Of sick
ness 1 am unable to appear at the joint
convention Tuesday next. [ would, there
fore. make few remarks in regard to my
vote for United States senator. 1t seems
to me that we do not act right according
to the wish of the people-half of the ses-
sion is gone and we have done nothing
of Importance for the salary we
draw. We have not even gained any on
the senatorial election, and that is all on
account Oh pOllLlCdI WHO puAAOAS' A4OS ~
unite. and make an end of this lobbying.
Our present senator, Hon. VIM. Window,
has held some of the highest positions IN
the Union and has always been credit to
the United States, and particularly to our
North Star state of Minnesota. Therefore
let US join and sink all pollt-
ical spite, and send the most
qualified and ablest man we have got, which
is Hon. VIM. Window. Mr.. Speaker, my
vote is for Window. Your obedient
servantI JOHN GRoETsCH,
Member of the House of Representatives.
At the conclusion of the reading, the
dignity that usually hedges round about
the grave law makers was for a
moment forgotten and audible laughter
and clapping of hands and stamping of
feet INDUCED, but the demonstration was
promptly checked by the speaker, and the
call of the roll proceeded with, and
though it is evident from the last sentence
of Mr.. Groetschs letter that he expected
to have his vote recorded for Mr..
Window, e careful search fails to find his
name in that column. We fear also that
the course of Mr.. Groetsch upon the sena-
torial question has been so variable that
his pronunciamento at this time in favor
of Window will have little if any moral
weight. Mr.. Groetsch commenced by cast
ing four votes for Window. He then went
over to Hubbard, for whom he voted five
times, and on Friday last, the last vote
taken up to yesterday, he voted for Strait.
The record is not one that carries much
weight with it, and we fear that Mr..
Groetsch in announcing his return to the
camp of the Boss, with such a -four
ish of trumpets, has put his
foot in it bad-not only in
the effect it will have upon his own politi-
cal future, but also upon the fortunes of the
Boss. Mr.. Sabin, who has been prevented
from meeting with the joint convention
heretofore by sickness, and having sue
ceeded in changing his pair with Mr..
Richardson to Mr.. Thayer, cast his first
vote for United States senator for Mr..
Window.

Tie Cat and It's ADOPTED Chicken.

the cat purring at the hen, when the lady
remarked, ooh, that's nothing; that cat is
the mother of the chicken Mrs. Linchey
then told me the cat had driven a sitting
hen off her nest last spring, and shortly
afterward there was nest full of kittens
and one chicken. From the Time the
chick struggled through the shell to the
present day it has been member of the
feline family. The cat has at all times
evinced a maternal care over its feathered
ward, and the latter has frequently been.
seen to perch beside its foster mother.
They are frequently together in the barn
yard, and enjoy each others company"

Fast Time.

Troy, n. Y, Jan. 30.-A statement is
published here as coming from a promi-
nent railroad man that Vanderbilt's special
train to San Francisco will be run on
new fast schedule, and before next summer
the passenger express will run regularly
from New York to San Francisco, with a
reduction from the present time of from
thirty. to thirty-six hours. 1t is said Van
derbilt will give the matter close exam
nation during his coming trip. Soon
after his return public announcement of
the running time will be made showing a
shortening Of time between New York and
Chicago from thirty three hours, the pres
ent time, to twenty-four hours, and from
Chicago to Omaha by the Northwestern
railway from twenty-five hours, the present
table, to fifteen hours between NewYork and
Omaha, and from Omaha to Ogden by the
Union Pacific railway, the present
running time is ffty-four hours,
and by the proposed schedule
the time will be reduced to forty two
hours, and from Ogden to San Francisco
by the Central Pacific railroad, the time
will he reduced from twenty nine to twenty
three hours, making saving of eighteen
hours between Omaha and San Francisco,
and total reduction of running time be-
tween New York and San Francisco of
twenty-four hours. Thus the entire
journey can be made in about four and
one-half days instead of over six days as
at present.

"Tor lie as auiet as can be;
Perhaps You'll catch her peeping
| Between the window bars to see

And then. If beth of you keep still,
And all the room is shady,
She'll Hoat across the window-silI,
bonnie, white moon-lady.
.Across the sill, along the 6oor,
You'll see her shining brightly.
Until she comes to mothers door,
AID then she'll vanish lightly.
But. ii the morning, you will find,
Ii nothing happe-s, maybe,
Shes lefs rs something nice behind
A beautiful star-baby.''
We didn't just believe her then,
For aunty's awful cha tfins:

Exactly as l told your

IN spite of Lens denying.
