Gould interviewed.

New YORK, January 29.-Mr. Gould was
asked bv Commercial Adrertiser reporter
what effect, if any, the acquisition of the
Baltimore and Ohio Company's new line
would have upon the Western Union.
None, whatever" replied Mr.. Gould.
There is not the slightest chance of the
Western Unions business being at all in
iured."
Suppose the purchasers got the best
OF the bargain ?" asked the reporter.
swell, you can judge for yourself" said
Mr.. Gould. 81 know the line from Buff
falo to Chicago, over the Nickel-Plate, has
not paid expenses. If am not mistaken,
the expense of the superintendent office
at Buffalo was scarcely covered by the re-
ceipts."
''Then the Baltimore and Ohio folks
have not secured big thing, after all ?''
mo, think not; besides this, under
stand that there are some questions of
mortgages and legal points surrounding
the line from Buffalo to Chicago. which
by no means render the title clear. In
other words, the Baltimore and Ohio peo-
pie get nothing for their money, and the
effect on the Western Union will not
amount to much"
"lt is, in your opinion, a matter of no
account"
at is mere speck," replied Mr.. Gould
that's the case exactly"
Western Union officials said the re-
ceipts of the Western Union have been
showing constant increase, and are much
larger now than for the same season for
any previous year.

HORRIBLY MUTILATED.
A Tramp's GhasfIy Find on the Railroad
Track.
The Face Of n Negro Cut Away, His Body
Uninjured.

Early Sunday morning last a tramp,
who was walking along the Louisville and
Nashville railroad, near Braden Station,
made CHASTITY find. He discovered the
body of a negro man lying upon the end
of the cross-ties with his face cut away,
leaving the back part of his head hanging
to his neck. The hogs had been roofing
about the body, aud the spectacle was a
sickening one even to Il tramp. The peo-
pie in the vicinity were notified, and an
inquest was held, when it was discovered
that the darky's name was Phil Fields, a
resident OF the neighborhood. He was
last seen alive at the crossing near where
his body was found about 7 o'clock Satur-
day evening. He was then under the in
fluence of liquor, and it is supposed he sat
down on the track, fell asleep, and thus
met his death. During the night three
trains passed Braden, and none OF them
reported having seen the body.

THE COTTON CENTENNIAL.
Commf mfssiOner-GeneraI MOrehead 9. rea
Iy Encouraged by the Outlook.

WAsHINGToN, January 29.-Commission-
er-General Morehead reports that the ut
most interest is manifested throughout
the East in the Worlds Industrial and
Cotton Centennial Exposition, which
opens at New Orleans next December.
This is shown by the large number Of
invitations here received to appear
before the various Legislatures now in
session, and give them information on the
subject, with view to their making ap-
preparations for State exhibits. Mr..
Morehead says twice as many States have
already made appropriations for State ex-
hibitions as for the Centennial in 1876.
In the corresponding time, fifteen States,
including the Territory of Dakota, and the
six principal cities of the Union having
determined to be represented through
$4,000 to $4,000 each. He thinks Texas
and Mississippi, whose Legislatures are
now in session, will appropriate each
$4,000, because of their geographical po-
sitions. They would be more benefited
than any others. A large meeting of
merchants and manufacturers takes place
at Baltimore on Thursday, which viii be
addressed by Mayor Latrobe and Gen.
Morehead
