There was a gathering of those interested in
the st. Louis Elevated road project in the Of
fees of ths British-American investment Com
pany, on Wall street. to-day. 8. f. Scott and
his counsel N. F. Taylor, and others discussed
the present status Of the enterprise. Mr. Tay-
lor said that all the nj oney needed 20 make the
thing success had been raised. In round fig
ures it was about $4,000. 900, but he wouldn't say
where it came from. He thought it advisable
for The DISPATCH correspondent to assume
that it was foreign capital. He spoke of the
solidity of Ladenburg Thalman & Co, who
negotiated the loan. particularly with the Ger.
man capitalists of Europe. but further than
that he did not care to go. Mr.. Taylor goes to
st. Louis at once, to complete the details Of
organizing the company and arranging for the
organization of the construction company. He
says that the Phoenix Bridge Company, Of
Philadelphia. will have much to do with build
ing the seven miles of elevated structure and
the bridges necessary under the charter Of the
company. Ithas been decided to use electricity
on all parts of the road.

A Boston cigar drummer was in Hart
ford. Conn.,, one evening, and after
lounging about the hotel in disconsolate
loneliness for an hour or two, he asked
the clerk if there was anything going on
in town. The clerk suggested taking in
q masquerade ball that was in progress.
The drummer thought the idea was a
good one. but he hadn't any costume.
The clerk suggested that he should bor-
row the colored porter's overalls and
jumper, black his face and hands and 90.
The suggestion was promptly acted upon
and for an hour the bogus colored man
talked African. English and had high
old time among mashed bellies. Fin.
ally the signal to unmask was given and
when the masks came off great wave Of
darkness swept over the hall. Every
blessed man woman and child in the
place was a full-blooded negro. The
drummer cast one panic.stricken look at
the crowd and then made for the door

affair:
"The speech of the evening was de.
livered by Senator Sawyer of Lincoln.
The Appeal regrets it cannot reproduce
it in full. We doubt if Chauncey Depew
ever delivered an after-dinner speech in a
happier vein. 1t was clean cut, finished
and rhetorical. with the points SO keen

laughed over it after they went home,

enough of tho Roderer was mixed with

The Storage Warehouse

1t does one good to look
through the storage warehouse
it is such a broad-shouldered
affair. The business of the ware
house is gradually building up,
but there has been such a demand
for old tobaccos, and all purehas.
able goods have moved so con.
stantly that dealers havenot had
much need for extra storage
room. But there is a bright fu,
ture for the storage warehouse
and the time will come when D.
900 hogsheads of tobacco will
rest upon its broad floors.
The object Of the storage com.
pany is to give Danville the facil.
ities for becoming a first class in.
spector's market and to we to
this and contiguous marke, the
same advantages that Richmond
now enjoys. The company does
not, the Register is assured, de.
sign to take business from the
commission men and the banks
Of Dauville. but to facilitate their
business and to attract business
here from other markets.
Mr.. T. l.. Brown, secretary and
treasurer, showed the Register
man u splendidly lighted room
in the tower OF the building which
he hopes to convert into asort oi
private exchange, so that leai
dealers may keep theirsamplesi in

Of arsenical poisoning was aroused
until an organization in which the

persons died suddenly in this family.
In support Of his staten IN. as to

symptoms Of arsenical poisoning, the
doctor remarked that certificates of
death we're given in five of the Rob.

TYPHOID fever, meningitis, bowel dis

The low price received by the
tobacco planters of Southern
Maryland for their product has
long been a matter of comment.
1t can be learned from CONNER
cial journals that the greater
part OF Maryland tobacco goes
directly to France, whereitis held
in high esteem and where pre-
sumably Il good price is paid for
it. More than this, the prices in
foreign markets have either re-
mained firm or gradually in
creased over a term OF years, while
the price to the grower has gone
downward until the very life of
the industry has been threatened.
