COMFORTING DIXIE.
General Harrison Assures the Seutl
of Fair Treatment.

GREENvILLE, S. c., November 81
GreenVille Daily News prints letter
recently received by its editor from
General Harrison and published by his
permission. 1t was written in reply to a
letter urging that Southern commercial
interests would be relieved from the OBJ
structions caused by doubts and fears,
regarding the Southern policy of the
coming Administration, if General Har-
rison would make some general assur-
ances OF his purpose to follow a conserv.
ative course toward the South, and is as
follows:
INDIANAPOLIS. November IA, 1888.
To 4. B. Williams, Esq, GreenriUe,
My DEAR S1R-Your letter of Novem-
ber 18th has been received. l am not
ready to make any public utterances on
any public question. Every day 1 am
solicited by special correspondents OF
the press to speak upon this subject or
that, but have invariably declined. and
to your appeal for some expression upon
the question that interests you, must
for the present make the same answer
1 understand that you have your
self been satisfied with expressions
made by me in my public
utterances to visiting delegations
during the campaign. When the sur
prise and disappointment which some OF
your people have felt over the result
have passed away and they give some
calm thought to the situation, think
they will be as much surprised as l am
that they should, in thought or speech,
impute to me unfriendliness towards the
South. The policies in the legislation
advised by the Republican party be.
lieve are wholesome for the whole coun-
try, and if all the people in their hearts
believed with US, these questions that
give you local concern would settle them
selves. Very truly yours.
BENJAMIN HARRISON.

corner uff the Earth.
CHICAGO, November PA local paper
says: For several weeks past Jay
Gould, G. P. Huntington, Charles Fran
els Adams, w. B. Strong and other rail
road magnates interested in Western
railroaos have been holding conferences
in New York in which Chairman Midg-
ley of the Southwestern Railway Associ-
alton has taken a prominent part. The
object of these conferences has been
kept a profound secret. Saturday the
announcement was made that the con-
ferences had come to an end and that an
agreement had been made whereby
the troubles among the Southwestern
roads would be ended and the rates be
advanced from 35 to 35 per cent. as soon
as possible. But the announcement was
no nearer the truth than previous reports
regarding the mysterious conference.
The railroad magnates evidently desire
to keep everybody in ignorance of the
actual importance of the proposed agree
ment until all the arrangements have
been perfected and the new scheme put
in operation. 1t has been learned, how
ever, that the project contemplates moth
ing more or less than the formation of q
gigantic railroad trust or clearinghouse,
com prising all the roads between points
west of line drawn through Chicago
and Milwaukee on the east, St. Paul and
Minneapolis on the north, Colorado, New
Mexico and Wyoming on the west and
Arkansas on the south. All existing
freight and passenger associations, with
in the territory named, will be abolished
and merged into new Trust or Clearing
House, as it is named. There will be an
Executive Board of three which will de-
vote its entire attention to the affairs of
the Clearing House, and be interested
with all the matter connected Herewith.
One OF the three is to be elected Chairman
of the Clearing House, and the other two to
be known as Vice-Cbairman of the
Freight Department and Vice-C Chairman
of the Passenger Department respective
ly. The Chairman, it is understood, is
to be j. w. Midgley, who, under the
terms of agreement, would be greater
man tt an Commissioner Fink, virtually
having control OF the management, so
far as traffic affairs are concerned, of all
the roads between Chicago and the Rocky
Mountains.
The paper also prints the full text Of
the proposed agreement of which the
above gives the general outlines, and
says it has been submitted to the presi-
dents of the leading roads.

A LOST COLLIER.
The Allentown Goes Down with
Her Crew of Eighteen.

CoHAssEr, Mass, November Pit is
reported that the Philadelphia steam col
her, Allentown, has foundered off this
port. There seems to be little doubt that
the steamer was sunk on some of the
ledges directly outside this port. At
about 2 P NJ, Sunday, a number of people
at the village heard the sound of a steam
er's whistle. and last night an immense
amount of drift wreckage came ashore
at Sandy Cove and on Sandy Beach,
marks upon which indicated conclusively
that the wrecked vessel must have been
the Allentown. Several life preservers
and some other wreckage was stamped
with her name. The Allentown cleared
from Philadelphia on the 21st instant
for Salem, Massachusetts, with 1860
tons of coal. She was commanded by
Captain Odiorne and had crew Of
eighteen men. The vessel is one of the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Company's line of colliers.

who resided at 76 Harvard street,

time during the latter part of last.
December. WEIGH was in court, to-
gether with the child, to show huse
why the writ should hot be granted.
He had no counsel, and amazed the
court by the statement that, al

proposes to keep it in charge until.
her father liquidated an alleged debt
to him of $50, due for the mainten-
ance Of the little girl since the death
