A railroad Man ef ABILITY.

A railroad man of considerable prominence, q
few days since, talked with President Jewett,
Of the Chicago & Atlantic road, regarding
the odd ways of Fred. Broughton, the present
general manager, and of some of the novel
orders he had issued. 'Well,n said Mr..
Jewett notwithstanding his In some
respects singular ideas of operating railroads,
he makes an excellent general manager He
has already, said Mr.. Jewett, cut down our ex-
penses at the Chicago terminus fully 800, 900 per
year, and at the other points he has largely re-
duced operating expenses without impairing the
services of the road. OF course, said Mr.. Jewett,
he has made enemies in taking such steps, but
his case is no exception. Officials, as a rule, are
abused and misrepresented whenever they en-
force economy in all departments.

Can a Trunk-Line War BE AYerted?

Renewed interest has been shown in the rail
road rate war since the circulation of a rumor
that the Pennsylvania railroad had sent a formal
notice to Commissions Fink Of its intention to
withdraw from the pool. Commissioners Fink,
when questioned as to the truth of the report,
said: ct is q lie. I have received no such
notice either from the Pennsylvania road or any
other road interested in the pool, of any inten-
ton to disrupt the pool, and / have every reason
to believe that the managers of these roads are
anxious to have the pool maintained. The pres
emit difficulties can be adjusted at any time as
soon as the roads concerned get tired of this bust
nets, and negotiations are now pending looking to
the accomplishments of this end. Notwithstanding
all denials OF existing trouble between the
trunk lines unquestionably the friends of
railroads who desire to see peace and prosperity
for the roads are anxious over the situation.
Fhe actual condition of affairs seems to be that
there has not as yet been any official disruption
of the freight pool. The Grand Trunk has
taken the position that it will leave the pool if
its claim to a greater percentage is not allowed.
Under the rules, the decision of the arbitrator
was final, but Commissioner Fink has not yet
amounted the withdrawal of the Grand Trunk.
Meantime a meeting of the presidents has been
called, at which there will be an endeavor
to patch up a truce of some kind. An officer
takes the grounds that such a patch-up will be
but temporary and that there can be no lasting
settlement of the division of the business of the
trunk lines short of a thorough reorganization
on a money-pool clearing house basis. The pres
ent plaE has proved a disastrous failure.

The Board of Arbitration To BE Abolished

Ing forth considerable speculation as to the fu-
ture. and it is believed that the Board of Arbi-
traticn will be abolished A special from New
York TO the Cleveland Leader says: 1.-THE plan
of q board of arbitration has not worked salts,
faetoRily, and there has been a slow realization
Of the fact that the burdens of arbitration have
been too heavy for persons not constantly de-
voted to the business of the pool to bear. I'm
der the old agreements, the roads accepted Com
missioner Finks decisions, on disputed percent
ago and other questions, and it is likely that a
return to him of his powers (~possibiy with some

PROFESSOR WHITE AND THE GREAT
KANAwHA Coal FIELDs.-The Vir-
ginias, published by Maj. Jed Hotch-
kiss at Staunton, Virginia, has this
to say about Prof. White in it's last
number:
Prof. /. G. White of the U. S. Geo.
logical Survey, is making good pro-
gress in working out a complete Sec
tion of the coal beds of the Great Ka-
nawha. By the time this reaches
our readers he will have finished the
80 odd miles of section from the Ohio
at the mouth Of the Kanawha up to
the Falls and to the junction of the
New and Gauly rivers, the so-called
head of the Great Kanawha, and
have worked out very full sec
tions of Rogers formations XIV, XIV
and XIII, a work which is now rem
dered possible by the number of
openings that have been made along
the Kanawha and its tributaries into
the coal beds of these formations.
The measurements and observa-
tions of Prof. White will change
many notions that have long been
prevalent in regard to the number
and relative place of the Great Ka-
nawha coal beds, as our readers will
before long see when Prof. White
communicates to The Tirginias, as
he has permission to do from the Di-
rector Of the q. S. Gcol. Survey, the
results of his seasons work, thus Civ
ing our people advantage of the ac-
curate information he has obtained
a long time before it can appear in
the regular reports of the survey.
Prof White is now working out
the New River section, and he will
probably finish that up to Hinton,
so as to have complete section, en-
tirely across West Virginias's por-
ton of the Great Coal Basin of the
Ohio, this season before returning to
his chair at the West Virginia Uni
versity.

HON. WIN. l.. WILSON'S SPEECH THE
BEST OF THE CAMPAIGN.
RANDALL, Oct. 13.-On last Wednes-
day evening, Notwithstanding the
rain, quite crowd gathered at the
Jimtown school house to hear Hon.
w. L. Wilson. The speaker did not
arrive until very late hour, but the
audience waited patiently until Mr..
Wilson came. He was introduced
by T. P. Reay. He spoke for about
an hour and a half, and / never lis
tened to sounder logic or deeper rea-
soning in my life. The facts pre-
sented were given so plain and com
prehensive that all could understand.
l thought that any republican who
heard Mr.. Wilson and whose mind
was not filled with prejudice could
ever vote the republican ticket again.
Mr.. Wilson would have had very
large audience here had the weather
been favorable. We hope to hear
him again before the campaign is
over. We noticed Prof Morgan and
Messrs Moreland, Shisler and Hirsch-
man from town present.
/ saw Judge Berkshire passing up
the country to drum up the people
to attend the republican meeting at
Morgantown.
When Barnum engages Jim Blaine
to travel with his circus next sum-
mer, suggest that he also engage
Berkshire and Pap Pierpoint as
advance agents to paste up bills.

was to have the knot tied. The Siam

Afterward my attention was called

They succeeded admirably. l under

three men pass by more or less un-

The other two were so far gone that
they must have lived in prohibition

were first discovered.
A little farther down the street two
"young and rising politicians" were
engaged in heated discussion of
Mr.. Wilson's speech last week. They
grew so much interested in the dis
cussion that they filled the entire
street and several ladies who were
passing were obliged to crowd around.
A few minutes later they were paid
back in their own kind of coin. A
Gainsborough hat was passing, Git

was young lady under it or not J

politicians gouge under the right ear
