sD0ndcd vigorously. The cannon OF the

they returned TO the point and after more
brisk firing put tho dredgers TO flight.
About midnight the drcdeers again returned

her to another severe dose Of shot before
sailing away. No one on The police-boat was

chased at Asheyille lie Just outside
the city limits, and comprise about
1000 acres. II is not definitely known
what these lands were bought for,
but Is Is said that young Vanderbilt
intends to establish an Industrial aud me-

meu without means will be trained in practi.

Csr-Stoves Abolished by Law.
Now York Tribuno.l

l4Nth dNlh AiibduNsI
Yesterday the new law prohibiting the
heating OF rairoad-cars IN this State hY
means Of stoves wen, into operation. The
act oi the Legislature abolishlng the car
stove was first passed in 1887, and applies
not only to New York railroads, but to all
companies whose lines extend over fifty
miles in the State Thus the New York and
New Haven road will be exempt, its lines
not covering the distance named in the law.
The Boston and Albany road will be amena.
Bile 10 the act.
As was stated in the Tribune yesterday,
all the lines composing the Vanderbilt system
have been or will be fitted up with steIm-
beating apparatus. The Wager Palace Car
Company and the New York Central Com
pany have adopted the Martin coupler for the
steam pipes between the csrs, while the Erie
Company will use the McElroy coupler. and
the Long Island road will be equipped
with the same apparatus as is at present
in use on the elevated roads in this
city. a wel-knOwn Broadway passenger
agent said yesterday: "The system viii not
work well until It becomes n national law,
and In winter think there will be trouble
with the Steam.pipeS. The expense Of ct
ting the cars is very great, aud many roads
out OF this State cannot comply with the
act"
OF The western lines which have adopted
steam-hcating apparatus. the Chicago, Rock
leland and Pacific, aud Chicago, Kansas and
Nebraska railways may justly claim TO be
the first.

Pursuant TO q call issued by the Board OF

at O'Clock, and the presence Of all members
IL urgently requested, rs matters OF very
grave importance win be considered aud
acted upon, the most important among them
being the serious financial condition OF the
division. An effort will be made 10 place II
on firm basis Ii Is matter OF regret that
this association, which has laboTed I'M
ceasingly for the commercial prosperity Of
our city aud Stste for number OF years
past should to-day find itself on the
verge Of financial ruin; and ii Is
20 be hoped that this meeting will
outline some definite policy whereby the
future success Of this organization may be
assured. This division, which is one OF
thirty composing the National Association,
has been organized three years and bali,
and during that time u has gained for itself
and our wholesale merchants many conces-
sions, among them the 2,000-mile books on
the Atlantic Coast aud Piedmont Air.Lines

yersal mileage-b0ok IL not far distant Beue-
Its have been gained In the way OF
excess baggage, and many OF the
hotels and liyerics OF our State
have made liberal concessions through the
efforts Of this association, aud the question
that 10 TO receive their serious attention to-
night will be-: Shall this association con.
tluue on IN i.s eaorts on behalf OF themselves
sud their employers, or notl Where other
divisions are prosperous and successful yir.
g,nis Is going backward, and the main cause
OF this IL the hack OF interest IN The affairs

our merchants, without waose cooperation
and assistance II Is impossible TO succeed.
Several vain attempts have been made 10 get
the cooperation OF our Chamber Of Com.
meree without success, and unless something
u done by our merchants 70 assist the
