dividend Of 81 per cent.
Mr.. T. G. Hand has resigned as General
superintendent Of the Taveres, Orlando
and Atlantic road.
1t is estimated that the loss to the

of its great bridge across the Colorado at
Yuma, together with the loss of traffic,
will not be less than $500, 900.
The debt OF Chill for the construction OF
railways Is S24,S70.000. In 1888 these rail.
roads earned revenue Of S6.5l6.094 on a
capital OF originally less than $50, 600, 600.
which is now reduced to S22 100000.
The Mexican national railway still
locks $40 miles of completion. To finish
construction, provide equipment and pay
off the floating debt, about 100000 are
required, and the bOndholders in London
recently held a meeting to endeavor to
provide this.

'DOst thou not know that poor horse

labor under the idea that the public

BAR AGAINST RATE WARS
OBJECT or THE SOUTHERN PAS
SENGER COMMITTEE.

Its Organization at Atlanta, Dec. p
Protection of Rates the Chief Purpose
of the Movement-The Disastrous Eff
feet of Rate WArs-General Railroad
Gossip.
The coming organization OF the South
ern Passenger Committee in Atlanta,
next month, is one of the most important
matters which is now occupying the at
tention OF railroad men throughout the
South. The meeting will be held on We'd
nesday, December ,. The committee will
be composed exclusively of general pas
senger agents OF all Southern lines. II the
committee proves successful, the death
knell of long and bitter rate wars which
nave proved so disastrous 10 many South
ern lines, will be sounded. The principal
object of the committee of course, is the
protection OF rates. Heretofore, the rail-
roads have had no restriction placed over
them to prevents promiscuOus demOral-
cation Of rates. A rate war, even though
II be purely local, Its effect is felt far and
wide. The recent fight between the
Western and Atlantic and the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia furnishes a
very forcible Illustration Of this fact 1t
was really local fight, yet the revenues
OF the Louisville and Nashville, the Queen
and Crescent and many other roads de-
creased thousands OF dollars each month
the fight lasted. To put an end TO useless
warfare is the purpose Of the organization
of the Southern Passenger Committee.

B Chicago and Her Big Fire.

Tribune, Oct TO- g;.as,s ~ .
Thirteen years ago to-day Chicago
was . smoking waste. For nearly two
days fire had swept over 1900 acres Of
its fairest and most enterprising area,
destroying more than u 900 buildings,
among them all its public structures
and its largest business houses, banks.
newspaper Offices and places Of amuse-
ment, entailing loss3of $3.50. 900. 600 Of
property and turning nearly 100, 600 Of
its people out of their homes. Inthree
years Of time il was substantially re-
built and started upon q new career of
prosperity To-day; scarcely .; trace
remains of;that Widespread ruin. In its
place larger and finer structures haye
risen, and north, south and west Chi
cage is reaching out and extending her
dominion. The horror of 1871 is now
scarcely remembered sat most it is but
q dim reminiscence. Almost genera
ton has been add led tolits numbers and
crowds Of new corners have moved
here, 80 that q large proportion Of its
600 900 people have little actual knowl-
edge Of the events of those terrible
days, and SO far away have we drifted,
and SO radient and magical have been
the changes, that probably few Of those
who passed through the fry ordeal re-
called it yesterday OF would remember
it to-day but for this reminder. .;S
