City Railroad Company the right and

This company is not anxious to bubble

talk over technicalities, but wish to get to

R. DUDLEY 'FRAYSER, President.
The discussion which followed was a
heated one, considerable temper being

they had signified their willingness to
grant right oil way on Madison street if
asked to do 30; he had acceded to the de-
mands Of the Council, had requested the
Council to grant right of way and had put
it in writing, and now he called upon
them as men to carry out their promise.
Col. Montgomery said he objected to
granting permission to put two tracks on
the street. He thought one TRACK, with
two switches, would be better. Several of
the councilinen objected because TelTnis-
sion was asked in a roundabout way.
President MADDEN said he wss opposed
to granting right Of way unless the
company asked it by stating that PROPOSE.

Interstate Commerce.

ST. PAUL, January 25.-The Interstate
Commerce Committee concluded its Ia
bors in the Northwest this evening.
Among the testimony taken was that Of
n. a. Fulton. OF Wisconsin, who said
the rebate system should be prohibited
The tendency of rebate is to raise rates to
the seaboaId. In his opinion railroad
companies should be prohibited from
charging more in the aggregate for short
than long hauls over rails. The commission
system should be abolished and rates
regulated directly by statute. The poo
system is psrnicious and should be abol
| ished, and publicity given to rates.
Russell Blakely made point that the
Mississippi river is the key to the situa-
| ton. AT st. Paul the problem is simpli.
| fled considerably by the fact that freight
can be shipped by water, thereby compel
ling railroads to certain extent to make
| better rates.
Z. f. Drake aud the Hon. Mark H
Dunnell appeared, and were questioned

3. w. WRKNN, general passenger sgent

THE rumor that Franz Chandler, general
passenger and ticket agent of the Wabash
and Missouri Pacific railroads, had been
appointed on the Queen and Crescent
route to similar position, is denied.
THERE will be excursions over all the
roads leading into Memphis in
number-over the Louisville and Nash

Memphis; the Memphis, Selma and
Brunswick; the Louisville, New Orleans
and Texas; the Memphis and Charleston,
and the Mississippi and Tennessee rail.
roads, on the festive Fourth.
THE opening of the Arkansas Valley
route via the Mississippi Valley railroad
to Little Rock, Fort Smith and Kansas
City, will ultimately prove of the greatest
benefit to the commercial interests of New
Orleans. 1t not only opens an avenue for
large and important grain and cotton
trade, but will also bring Arkansas coal
and iron to this city. Yesterday morning
nine carloads OF Arkansas coal from the
vicinity of Little Rock reached this city
by the Mississippi and Arkansas Valley
routes, and this is but the first shipment Of
many similar ones that are to follow.

his bunk, apparently asleep, when the re-
porter called him, but rose to sitting po-

spoke in a low tone of voice in answer to
few questions addressed him, and while he
manifested no disposition to talk, was will
ing to reply to any direct interrogatory:
He declared that he felt very well, and
did not want anything except drink
of whisky, which he had already sent for:
He realized that death was near at hand
and that there was no hope for him, but
he was prepared for the end. His appe-

Who Ought TO be Rewarded, and Who

fever epidemic at Memphis, in 1873, when
hundreds were dying, ana several Of the
United States mail agents had been
stricken down come died, and the re-
mainder refused to take the risk, the post
master here, through Instructions from the
superintendent. advertised for some one to
take the Milan and Memphis route as sub
stitute. Then it was that w. @. Hill came
to the front, showed his bravery and man
hood by boldly facing all danger, running
into Memphis in August and September,
sleeping there alternately every other
night, until the fever died out for the
want Of material to work on, and the win
ter frost had made the country healthy.
He was discharged, and the man who de-
serted his post at the time of danger, re-
turned to his place. Hill thought, and
earnestly believed, as every one else did,
that he would have the place perma.
nently, taking it under such trying cir
cumstances, and the only reason that
can be surmised is because he was a Demo
crat. Now that the Democrats are in
power our Congressman and Senators from
this State would bestow great favor on 8
worthy, deserving young man by in
huencing the new administration to give
him permanent appointment in the mai
service, as he is out OF employment and il
great distress. The writer of this article
has known him since boyhood; was az
old schoolmate, and can highly recon
mend and indorse him as being amply
qualified and deserving all confidence
