Local and General Gossip in Railway
Circles.
The Railway Employees Club of the
United States, which was organized some
time, since in Minneapolis, now has about
II, 900 men in Minnesota. They also have
a large membership in Wisconsin, and are
preparing to organize in Illinois, Iowa and
Dakota.
W F. Hallstead, general manager Of all
the lines owned and operated by the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad
Company, began his railroad career as a
water boy when the road was being con-
structed between Scranton and Great Bend
Pa.
The 2,0OO-mile ticket regulation of the
Western States Passenger Association has
gone into effect, The price hereafter will
be $50, with rebate of $40 when the
covers are returned. The new arrange
ment is designed 10 prevent the mileage
books getting into the hands of scalpers.
A Chicago authority states: The number
Of miles of railroad in tue United States
and territories is now just about 150 900, or
more than the mileage Of all Europe. A
force of about 500, 900 men is employed in
various capacities on these lines, being at
the rate of a trifle over five men to the
mile Hence the 1000 miles Of new track
laid last year called into requisition the
services of 35, 900 additional men. The in
crease is fully l 4 per cent, which is con-
siderably in excess of the average annual
increase in population.
The Georgia Midland and Gulf railroad
has two trains a day from Griffin to Colum-
bus. One is a through passenger and the
other a mixed. G. NJ. Cheers, the general
passenger and freight agent of the road is
credited with the following concerning the
mixed train: do you know" said he,
that we run the most accommodating
train in the worldl Our day train
moves little slow and the conductor
Capt. N. Mcintyre, stops in the middle OF
a goober field, goes out with his train hands
and pulls COOLERS. Then he goes back, and
after starting his train puts his goobers
upon stove and cooks them, after which
he passes them around among tue passen-
gers on the top of water cooler. Really
our road is the only one in the world which
feeds its passengers on COOLERS"

A HEALTH BILL FIXED UP
THE CONFEREEEs FINALLY COME
TO AN AGREEMENT.

A Probability That the Governor VIII
Sign the Measure To-Day - The
Legislature TO Adjourn To-Day-The
Senate Indefinitely PostpOnes the
Other Board OF Health Bills.
TALLAHAssEE. FLA, Feb. l9-To-d day
a conference committee from the two
houses was appointed 70 arrange the differ
ences relating to the health bill. The com
rnltteemen are: Senators Hammond, Roges
and WAL. and Representatives Baskln,
Latham, Milton, Norwood and Rourke.
The result Of their deliberations IS that the
Senate concurred in tie House amend
ments to sections 9, 6, y, IS, 10,
IS and 10, and the House receded
from the ether amendments offered
to Senate bill No. ). The work Of reaching
this agreement occupied the entire day, and
the bill creating a state board Of health as
finally agreed on after two weeks fight,
was ordered enrolled for tie signatures Of
the Office s Of both houses, which it will re-
ceive tomorrow and be at once delivered TO
Gov. Fleming for his approval
An ADJOURNMENT RESOLUTION.
A joiut resolution vas introduced for ad-
iournment at noon tomorrow, but final
action on it was not taken, as something
may arise in the morning TO prolong the
session tall later in the dAv.
The Senate Indefinitely posponed the
House bills for establishing state and county
boards Of health, and both houses passed
bills appropriating $50, 900 for the expenses
of the health board and S25 900 for the ex
penses of the extra session.
The Senate adopted a resolution memo
rializing congress to pass'the Florida Indian
war claims bill. Gov. Fleming has been
urged to 20 to Washington to aid in secur-
ing the passage of the bill through congress,
and be will probably go after the health
bill is disposed Of, which will probably be
tomorrow.
The members of the legislature will start
for home tomorrow.
The bill for the establishment Of a special
board Of health for Pensacola and for the
reorganization Of all the county boards was
practically killed in the House to-day. So
II is safe to say that only one bill will be-
come law at this special session, all other
matters being deferred to the regular ses-
