1t is tolersbly well settled that there
will be a separation of the WABASH aud
Iron Mountain road within few days,
and that Mr.. Mat Walsh will be the agent
of the latter road here. Dir Walsh was 10
St. Louis yesterday and Is expected to ar
rive here tomorrow or next day. Mr.. n
S. Pennington will retain the agency Of the
Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific. "The boys"
in the Office are little uneasy as to whs,
will become of them under the new condi-
ton of things.
Yesterday Hon. F. E. Albright over
took Capt. Thomas q, Marion and me, him
in joint discussion, much to the surprise Of
the Capt, who had fatteIed himself that
he had clear track oil through the dis
trict. There is said to have been consider
able interest manifested by the peopl.
throughout Perry aud Jackson counties,
aud no doubt the two contestants had .
large audience yesterday. Mr. Albright
has filled his appointments in Randolph
and Jackson counties, and will now meet
Capt. Thomas ST the several points and
times he so arbitrarily selected for the
meetings. 10 this way Mr.. Albright will

bright of any such thing as above suggest

Thomas here new list Of times and places
and requested the captain to meet him and
arrange new ones if those suggested did
not suit him. This request WAS handed 20
Capt. Thomas by Hon. D. T. Linegar be-
fore noon last Monday, and Capt. Thomas
promised to send his reply to Mr.. Linegar
in the afternoon. But it WAS Tuesday
morning at 10 o'clock before Mr. Linegay
received the captains reply, and Mr. Al
bright had been compelled to leave the
evening before, to prepare to meet his ap-
pointments in Jsckson'and Randolph coun-
ties. But an effort to correct all the willful
or careless mistatements that Capt. Thomas
makes in the course of one Of his harraugu.
