Pooling AT New ,.rreaos

There appears to be every indication
the various railroads to pool the business
out of New Orleans, but there is a hitch
somewhere, and the statement is made
that the arrangement could readily be
effected but for some dissatisfaction to the
proposed terms on the part of the Queen
and Crescent line. That there will event
ually be such an arrangement there is but
little doubt. and New Orleans will be the
first of all the Southern cities where the
passenger traffic will be pooled. In Texat
the matter has already been arranged by
the Galveston traffic agreement, which
went into effect on the LIST instant.

CHATTANOOGA, September This has
been day OF suppressed and most intense
excitement in Chattanooga. 1t he's been
altogether without precedent in the his
tory of our city. When the community
awoke this morning and realized the enor-
nifty of the terrible scenes of the night be-
fore, inssead OF ellsying it intensified the
feeling. VIM. Nanney, the white man
who was shot while sitting
the riot. died from his wounds at 5 30
O'Clock this morning, and he negro Ben
Palmer, one of the rioters who was shot,
Is dying. At an early hour erumors came
thick and fast that the negroes were or
ganiziBg to avenge the scenes of the night
before, and IS the day advanced the
runsVrs became more definite. Leading
negfoes were found 10 different parts Of the
city, addressing men of their own race and
calling on them to wreak vengeance on
the leaders of the mob. The feeling
| against the sheriff, who was elected by
| negro votes, was very bitter, and some OF
the extreme Legroes were urging the other
negroes to assault him bacau,e he refused
to allow them to guard the jail. The Off
cials were active the entire
| day, and at night the city
was under arms. he two military
| companies were supplied with twenty
| rounds OF ammunition, and are now as
| sembed at their respective armories ready
| to respond at the first call. The sheriff
has established headquarters at the jail,
and has twenty-five sworn deputies
| Twenty extra policemen are on duty, and
a private detective is stationed at every
street corner in the Fifth ward, the
manufacturing ward, where the
mob originated. Reports were current
that the negroes intended to burn the
leading industties, and tonight fully 200
armed men with loaded shot-guns and ri
hes are patroling the streets. At this writ
ing III pm no demonstration has yet
taken place, aud the city is entirely quiet.
| No negroes are visible on the streets, and
none can be found, but reports continu-
ally reach headquarters that they are
forming in 8 mob at the outskirts, and
