Mr. Carrots Congratulations
G.. A. LICKLIDER

Last week at the annual meeting of
the stockholders of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company a five per cent.
scmi-annual dividend was declared upon
the stock of the main line and also upon
the Washington Branch. After the
declaration of the dividend President
Garrett made an address to the direc-
tors. He congratulated them on the
ability of the company to declare the
customary semi-annual cash dividend
of five per cent. for the six months end
ing the 3Oth of September last. AL
though the business depression had
been continuous during the fiscal year
Just closed, thus, of course, decreasing
the earnings of railways generally and
necessitating in many cases a reduction
Of their dividends, these decreases Of
earnings have been materially aug
mented by the wasteful, reckless and
unwise methods of competing roads
which entailed additional needless losses
of magnitude. This company, even I'M
der these Instantaneous conditions,
has steadily adhered to its fixed policy
and has not hesitated to make such sac
rifices as were required TO maintain its
position and to protect the interest Of
the port of Baltimore, as well as the
other interests associated with and de-
pendent thereupon.
In speaking of the growth of the Bal
timore and Ohio telegraph service Mr..
Garrett said that the executive officers
Of the company are engaged i'll the prep
aration of certain plans for the eXtention
of its lines into valuable north western
territory and towards the Pacific coast.
He believes that the government will
at no distant day enforce those provis-
ions of the land grant under which
railroads and telegraph lines were built,
which require that the business of all
competing telegraph companies shall
be transmitted over those lines impair
TALLY and upon equal terms, thus en-
abling his company to materially in
crease the area over which it is a COM
petitor to the Western Union system.

Last Thursday morning, as the wife
of Jean Baptiste Romilly, farmer
in st. Vincent de Paul, a village
about ten miles from Montreal, Canada,
was feeding her fowls, while her child,
aged about years, was playing around,
suddenly large bald-headed eagle
swooped down and bore the little one
off i'm its talons. The child screamed
and extended its arms to its mother,
who was beside herself with mental ag-
ony, but was pOwerless TO render assist
ance. The screams of the child, how
ever, attracted the neighbors, who with
shotguns pursued the eagle. The bird
was seen to alight with its prey upon
the roof of barn mile distant. Lift
ing up its head, with one powerful
stroke it buried its beak into the ehilL's
head, and thea began its horrid feast.
AT the near approach of the neighbors,
who were firing guns to brighten it, the
eagle took flight, leaving the child be-
hind. When the body was recovered
life was extinct. The skull was split
in two, and part had been devoured.

Letter From Georgia.
JoxEsBoRoueH, Ca, Oct. II, 's5

JoNEsBoRoUGH, Ca, Oct. II, 's5.
Dear Register.-You will be surprised
to find letter from me, written so far
from home, but I'll tell you why am
here and brifly give an account of trip
South. The international Committee of
Young Mems Christian Associations re-
quested me to spend month or more
in labor for them in Tennessee, Georgia
and Alabama. promised to do so, and
left Petersburg on Saturday last, the
11th; reached Lynchburg ct 6 p. M,
spent Sunday pleasantly in the Hill
City, which. by the way, is to be my fu'
ture home. Monday morning took the
train ut 6 O'Clock, ard at 5.25 p. IN.
had the pleasure of meeting at Knox
vile, Tenn, one Of our old town boys,
Samuel Hensell. Sammy looks well
and looks not a bit older than when L
last saw him, years since. | was sorry
[ couldn't spend the night in Knoxville,
so pressed on, and 1T II O'Clock MD
night found myself in the beautiful city
of Rome. Ga. My work here was to
give Association information! organize
committees and raise money enough TO
sustain the work for a year. Af;er a
mass meeting we called upon the citl-
Zens and they gave the cause 81, 0Oo.
Rome is beautiful city. Business in
cotton is brisk, and it is cotton every
where. | was sitting in commission
house on Friday, and to my surprise,
who should come in but Shep. Orndorf.
Shep. looks well, is doing well, AMI gives
a glowing account Of the advantages OF
this section of Georgia. l left Rome
Saturday morning on the Atlantic and
Western road, passing through Georgia s
fine cotton fields, now white with the
harvest, and reached Atlanta at 1880.
Atlanta is the New York of the South.
Business is brisk in all branches and
everything is life and push. They have
one of the finest hotels here | have ever
seen, and it is well patronized. The
Association here is just beginning to
build; the citizens gave them $S7 600.
left Atlanta for this place Saturday
evening: will organize an Association
here tomorrow, and return to Atlanta
Monday morning. Jonesborough used
Al In
dreaded few years since. They have
nothing of the kind now, and l find
them quiet, orderly people. "Cotton
is King" here, as in the other towns
and cities | visited, and the tleecy staple
is making glad the farmer and merchant
alike. They have local option in nearly
all the counties in Georgia. Sitting in
front of the hotel this evening | asked
the landlord how it worked. "Worked,"
said he, "why if we hadn't it, this even
ing you would have seen three or four
fights and the caliboose would have
been full. But as it is, the caliboose
hasn't been unlocked for year, and
business is just as good" This from the
proprietor of public house surprised
me little. When return to Atlanta,
after a days rest, l will visit Hunts
vile, Tuscumbia, Selma, Marion and
Opelika, Alabama; also Columbus, Ca,
aud other points as advised by the COM
mittee. Until then, goodbye.

We do not like being boycotted, how

THERE is story going the rounds
that the Republican majority in the
Senate will make square fight against
President Cleveland by refusing to con-
firm the names of Democrats who were
appointed to take the places of removed
Republicans. This would be slightly
unpleasant for the President, but it
would leave his opponents very much
in the condition of the monkey that
fooled with buzz-saw. They may OBJ
ject and refuse to confirm, but that will
not restore decapitated heads or prevent
Democrats from filling the Offices. When
Mr.. Cleveland sets his feet firmly and
stiffens his spinal column he is very
hard to move. The Senate shonid make
q note Of this.

An exchange suggests that an annex be
added TO the Kinks where licenses will
