The Late John Esten Cooke.

When the civil war broke out Mr..
Cooke rushed headlong into it, serving
first with Stonewall jackson and after
wards on the staff of Gen. ]. E. B.
Stuart, coming out of the struggle a
Major. The result of his war expert
ence was shown in the novel of "Surry
of Eagles Nest" which was published
in the winter of 1866, and went rapidly
through seven editions. Many of the
scenes the author himself witnessed,
and he tells what he heard jackson
and Stuart say, not what he read they
had said. The success of Surry" in
duced Cooke to continue the war
novels, and Mohun," Hit to Hilt,"
Hammer and Anvil" ETC., followed in
a few years. He also wrote the Lives
of Lee and Jackson" The Wearing of
the Gray" and other books, all having
more or less Of the war atmosphere.
His aim was to do for Virginia what
Simms had done for South Carolina,
Cooper for the Indian and frontier life,
Irving for the quaint old Knicker-
booker times and Hawthorne for the
weird Puritan life of New England.
Although Mr.. Cookies sympathies were
for the cavaliers, he never magnifed
one of them at the expense of Puritan,
and his books, while Southern in their
views, are never rancorous. They are
of Virginia, because their author loved
the grand old Commonwealth, and,
though both local and sectional, they
have no narrow spirit in them, Mr..
Cooke believing with Shakespeare that
"there are liners out of Britain"

SUPPRESS THE s5roKE.
Efforts to Utilize Petroleum as FtteI by the
Railroads of the Country.
PHILADELPHIA Press

Efforts to Utilize Petroleum FtteI by the
Railroads of the Country.
Philadelphia Press.
There is a movement ON foot in Chi
cago, says the Railroad Gazette, to put
on some of its suburban railroads loco
motives equipped to burn petroleum as
fuel. The object is to relieve the city
and suburbs of the disagreeable smoke
nuisance which now accompanies each
passing locomotive.
1t is imperative that railroads should
penetrate into very nearly the center of
all great cities in order to fully accommo-
date travel and traffic. We cannot do
without the trains, but two great
nuisances which usually are associated
with them can and ought to be
abated. These are grade crossings and
the thick, black smoke of bituminous
coal. Public sentiment is becoming so
pronounced against the former evil that
their gradual disappearance by the de-
preston or elevation of tracks is already
practically assured. The question of
scarcely less importance is, can we get
rid of the black smoke? The Railroad
Gazette says confidently: 'Knowing
well the competent hands into which the
Chicago trial has fallen, we think there
is good reason to expect its success.
The Pennsylvania railroad has made
fun trial of petroleum as fuel with re-
suits which were satisfactory mechan-
lcally, but not on the score of cost, hay
ing regard to the increased demand for
petroleum if adopted for general use on
locomotives. Here IL Philadelphia it is
not necessary to resort to petroleum to
free the city and suburbs of trailing
clouds of black, soot-dropping smoke.
If the locomotives which enter this
city were compelled by law to
use clean anthracite instead of
dirty bItuminous coal, the growing
smoke nuisance in Philadelphia would be
abated as far, at least, as the chief
offenders, the locomotives, are the cause
of it Whether the Chicago experiment
with petroleum succeeds or fails, Phila-
delphia should take measures to free it
self from the poluting SCOT which soft
coal burning locomotives now belch con-
stantly into the once clear atmosphere.

CITY COUNCIL.
Proeeedlngg at the city Hall Last Night.

Proceedings at the City Hall Last Night.
The city council met in adjourned ses-
sion at the city han last night, the mayor
and all the aldermen but Messrs. Tatum
Tnppett, Daggett and Mes present.
Several petitions were taken up and re-
ferred to proper committees.
A lengthy discussion ensued over the
discharge of the engineer at the rock
crusher by Street Commissioner Conley.
1t seemed to have been done without the
knowledge or consent of the street and
alley committee and several aldermen
seemed to think this bad precedent
Alderman Ward moved that Cheno-
weth, the engineer, be reinstated, but
the majority of the aldermen said, Give
the old man chance, - and Conley was
sustained.
Alderman Mulkey rendered his resigna-
ton as alderman of the Sixth ward to
take effect on the first Tuesday in April.
He said he did this at this time that
the mayor in his election procla-
nation could order an election
to fill the vacancy. After some little
discussion the resignation was accepted
Alderman Haymaker said it was very
necessary to have some physician and
nurse placed in charge of the two patients
removed to the smallpox hospital from
Main and Thirteenth streets.
After some discussion, DR.. Cooper was
selected as the physician and gentle
man named Smith as the nurse
There was some very severe comment
INDUCED in when it was known that
both the doctor and the nurse
were seated in the city hall
at the time the discussion was in pro-
gress and that they had been near the
patients during the day. 1t was sug-
gested that if contact with patients suf-
fering with the disease did not make
isolation of the persons visiting them
necessary that the hospital might be dis
pensed with.
Alderman Nicks at this time entered.
The charter was then taken up and the
sections on taxation and power to issue
bonds which have been published in THE
GAZETTE were taken up and after
lengthy discussion adopted.
Alderman Ward offered a resolution
calling for the reading of the resolution
to sell the waterwOrks, but the resolu-
ton did not seem TO be in the house.
The council then adjourned.

the gentlemen conducting it is abundaqt
testimony of its sincerity, and, we hope,
final success. A conference of such vast
interests carried on IN the friendly spirit
which has so far been manifested cannot
but end in great benefits; but the
objects aimed at are somewhat visionary,
and their accomplishment it should
be remembered IS likely TO be
impeded by many seen and unseen obsta-
Giles. A radical change Of policy can
hardly be consummated without some
corresponding change in railroad condi-
tons. 1t is unfortunate that the Chicago
and Alton and the Chicago, Burlington
and Northern as well as the Huntington
lines have not joined the association; be-
cause the perfect RELAXATION OF this
scheme must largely depend upon its
unanimity. Moreover, the articles of
agreement have not yet been signed;
and had its promoters been confident OF
its immediate success, we are inclined to
the opinion that more inside buying OF
stocks would have appeared and much
higher range of values been established
than has thus far followed. 1t has been
difficult to discover any large buying OF
this character; though it would naturally
accompany the successful progress Of
such movement; a symptom which may
or may not be void of significance.

AR4DIC4L CHANGE.
THe Formation OftIte Interstate Commerce
RaiItcGy Association.

The Formation ftNe Interstate Commerce
RaiftrGy association.
Henry Clews s Co. in their weekly f.
nancial circular of January IA, say:
The event of the week in financial cir
cles has, of course, been the formation
of the Interstate commerce railway
association, the main objects of which
shall be the enforcement of the inter-
state commerce law and the establishment
of reasonable and stable rates.
It is almost unnecessary to say that
such objects are in every way commend
able and fair Stockholders have had
lust cause for insisting upon more integ-
rity IN management and fair returns on
their investments; and shippers can
have no cause of complaint so long
as rates are maintained upon an
equitable basis and all are placed
upon equal footing, stability of rates
being essential to a healthy development
of business. The declared intention TO
carry out the Interstate law, notwith-
standing It's drawbacks, was also wise
move, not only in satisfying public feel
ing, but also III leading to a fair ludg-
ment of its workings and more intelligent
future amendment when that becomes
imperative.
Upon the surface the whole movement
is 4 very remarkable and very encourag-
inc departure. In place of the ''dog-
eat-dog'' policy which has characterized
railroad management almost from the be-
ginning, we are promised an era of
" live-and-l et-live' treatment; natural
reaction from the other extreme. In
stead of perpetual warfare we are prom
ised harmony to a degree that
has never prevailed before; COM
petition is to be restrained within
legitimate bounds, and railroad managers
and railroad owners are all to into
a state of universal harmony and happI-
ness. If all these seductive promises
were really to be realized, we should
hesitate about predicting the results; but
it is just a little too much TO expect such
radical changes in so limited a space of
time Perhaps a revolution IN rail-
road affairs may be in store for MS, but
thus far il has been more in spirit than
in practice We are not in any
sense Understanding the great impor-
lance of the present movement; on the
contrary the character and influence of
