The Hospital Heating Apparatus.

The hospital board of the Council and Board
of Aldermen, together with a conference COM
mittee from both bodies, will meet this evening
to consider the differences as to the award of the
hospital steam heating apparatus to Jones &
Kelly, of Pittsburg. By a tie vote the Alder
men failed to concur in the action of Council,
and the latter body decided to stand by the
award to the Pittsburg firm. 1t is probable a
conclusion will be reached in agreement with the
action of Council. 1t is said the delay has been
anything but economical, as the apparatus is
badly needed at the institution.

Export Traffic Rates Still Open,

CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-The Chicago commission
on east bound freight traffic held a meeting here
to-day. for the purpose of deciding upon a uni
form schedule of rates on export traffic, via. the
various seaboard points. The trunk lines were
unable to harmonic the conflicting interests in
this traffic, and referred the matter to the Chicago
committee. The Vanderbilt lines very strongly
favor the making of a uniform rate, while the
other roads are mostly in favor of the present
arrangement. The question was debated at
considerable length, but the committee was un-
able to agree, and referred the matter back to
the trunk line committee again.

Central Passenger Committee in this city yes
terday, W.. Ell. King rendered his resignation as
commissioner, and it was accepted, to take effect

and Bronson, of the Indiana, Bloomington &
Western. were appointed a committee to select

trunk lines, without condition, and he has to-day

that the Baltimore & Ohio railroads passengers

Pennsylvania Railroad company, upon being
shown the Associated Press dispatch announc-
ing that President Garrett had signed the trunk
line agreement, conditionally, said he understood
Mr.. Garrett had signed the paper with the
proviso mentioned; that there was nothing new
to be said on the subject, and there was no
obstacle to Mr.. Garrett making permanent ar
engagements with the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company to get into New York, on fair terms, if

THE VIRGINIA CAMPAIGN.

THE VIRGINIA CAMPAIGN.
 One of the iveliest campaigns that has taken place in Virginia since the war is in progress. Both the candidates for governor are stumping the State with great energy, and the lesser men on the ticket are adding their oratory to the confusion. The Malone hanged John Brown The Democratic can didate is nephew of General R. E. Lee.
 Some of the performances of those engaged in this campaign are noteworthy. An editor who has just died called the present Demo cratic nominee for lieutenant governor ia disfrocked pulpiteer, :" "a brutal and villain ous dog," "a wretched liar, Ca creature who has forgotten every rule of right" The Re publican campaign speakers are constructing the epitaphs of the Democrats with such wit as this:
 Down where the green grass waves, and the water lilies bloom, and the university in the light of the moon, and the Pippins grow round and plump, Danville Massey re- poses.
 Where long reeds quiver,
 Where the pine trees moan,
 By the great Salt river,
 Sleeps Fitz Lee alone.
 The following specimen of the old time Gel oquence" is taken from speech which has been pronounced by local journal "as the most eloquent and pathetic effort ever made in virginia:"
 The speaker alluded to the 1itt1eness of the Republican press in referring to General Fitz Lee as 'tF. lee" ''Is the name of Lee brought down so low in Virginia for Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart to bark at? Who is mean enough, whose is the spirit sunk so deep in depravity as to applaud this un- worthy work or smile at any effort to throw contempt on the name of Lee? Look at Fitz Lee at the dedication of the Washington monument, when he stood side by side with Daniel and Winthrop, representatives of the Cavalier and the Puritan; look at him at the inauguration of President Cleveland, when riding down Pennsylvania avenue circled by the yellow belt of the Confederate cavalry man he received a national ovation; aye, look at him at General Grants funeral be- loved and respected by the assembled thou sands, and tell me if all these signs mean nothing"
 MT. Wise, it is said, shoots glass balls from his buggy for awhile to draw the crowd, and then shoots forth some lurid oratory and MT. Lee, we are told, IS making the greatest speeches for a reunited country that have ever been heard in Virginia, though it is we'll known that he is no orator. It is, on the whole, sorry spectacle to see ''the mother of Presidents" in such predicament.
