President Huphitt, of the Northwestern,
was elected chairman, and the meeting at
once resolved itssf into a committee OF the
whole to conside- the agreement formulated
at the New York conference, for the purpose
of modifying it IT, meet the approval of roads
not represented at the first meeting. The
principal subject of discussion was the arbi-
tration feature CT the agreement. Some of
the presidents thought that the arbitrator
were given too much power, and several
amendments defining and limiting the pow
ers OF the executive board were suggested,
but none adopted. The discussion took a
wide range, and while the sentiment of all
present was plainly in favor of strong COM
pact, it was evident that the evolution of an
agreement satisfactory to all lines would re-
quire considerable time The Interpolation of
the presidents al reement" into the inter state
commerce railway association agreement was
unfavorably con mented on, and it was the
opinion of several gentlemen present that the
two agreements conhicted in some respects
and would have u be modified After an all
day discussion the meeting adjourned for the
day, very little actual progress in the direc-
ton OF the adoption of the agreement by the
lines not Represented at the New York meet
ing having been made
The lines which have not yet signed the
agreement are the Illinois Central, Wisconsin
Central, Alton, and Burlington q Northern
The meeting will remain in session from day
to day until satisfactory agreement is
reached, and it Is confidently expected that
the four lines outs ide will join the proposed
association.

The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1889-10-12

The eloquent divine, Rev. J. T. Sales,
evangelist of Red River Presbytery, who
has been filing the Presbyterian pulpit for
the last few days preached his last sermon
last night. Those who heard him had a
treat. Those who missed certainly lost one.
His presentation of the gospel was very
forcible and impressive; his line of thought
was logically connected; his arguments
were we'll founded and wildly portrayed
upon the minds OF his hearers. The SER
mon on Wednesday evening, subject "No
Difference" was sublime, showing in
most striking language that there was no
difference in the Savior's court of justice,
between the sins of the slave and the mil
1ionaire. Sodom and Gomorah, flourishing
cities of ancient days, were burned to ashes
king and slave, poor and rich, gentle and
Jew suffering alike. Why? because there
was "No Difference" they had all sinned,
and there was no partially shown in Gods
court on high. The people of Arcadia
should feel highly honored to have such 6
learned and devout man of God in Their
midst.

Obituary.

| 1t was with sorrowing hearts that we
learned of the death of our young
friend Adelia D. Rhodes at Mansfield Col
lege on the 4th inst.
Having known Dece from earliest child
hood, we have grown to love and admire
her for her gentle and unselhsh disposition,
and for the patient and christian fortitude
displayed all through the sufferings OF her
brief life. Although fifteen years Of age,
she was yet in stature, and in nature as still
a little child and it has been said by our
Divine Redeemer "of such is the Kingdom
OF Heaven" Fond parents, loving sisters,
mourn not for dear Decie, "your loss is her
gain" the fair young soul has quilted its
frail, and painful tenement of clay for ga
home not made with hands, eternal in the
heavensn where she awaits your coming
when your task on earth is flashed, and
you are too called hence!
Then think not other as dead. but as liv-
ing forever more; and may the links in
the chain of memory which bind you to
your loved one, serve as q golden ladder,
BY which your thoughts may ascend to the
throne of your "Father which is in
heaven" A. w.
