Railroad Changes.
ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, Oct. 20.-Much
interest was caused here this morning by
the apparently we'll authenticated rumor
that the Atlantic and Pacific road had been
consolidated with the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe, and that the general officers
of the former corporation were to be at
once removed to Topeka. There is now no
doubt but that the consolidation has taken
place, but the principal officers of the At
lantic and Pacific think that the consol-
idation will not affect the officers here. as
the road will be operated separately from
the Atchison. General Manager d. B.
Robinson, however, has resigned. and has
accepted the management of the Colorado
Central, q new road now being constructed
in Colorado.

ATLANTA, Got. 20.-Atlanta is to-day q
complete prohibition city. All Of the bar

held open. The licenses have been expir-
ing gradually until to-day. when there was
only one in the city, and that would have
expired six days from now but by q decis-
ion of the Supreme Court OF the State to-
day. Two weeks ago the City Councll
passed a resolution allowing the city
brewer to deliver beer in the city to resi-
dents on order. Mayor Hillyer last night
