NEW YORK. February special. l-
The party that President John II. lnman
will take from this city tomorrow 10 inspect
the Richmond Terminal and its Southern
connections will consist Of such well known
merchants and business men as Charles ;.
smith. president Of the Chamber OF Com
merce: Cornelius y. Bliss. r. B. Thurbor,
John A. stewart, John Sloan, }. Edward
simmons. r. 4. Wilson, James ID. smith
and Russell Harrison. OF New York Gov
ern0r Campbell, Of Ohio, and J. A. Lane
and {. II. TAYLOR. of Boston. Several of the
gentlemen will be accompanied by their
wives. They will have four e. the best
equipped ears the road can furnish, ~rd
will be gone about two weeks.
The first stage of the trip will De over the
Norfolk and Western. then over the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia and the
Louisville and Nashville. They will be due
at Atlanta, Ca. February l3. as guests az
the dinner Of the Atlanta Chamber Of Com
merce. and az a reception given in their
honor by the Gate City club. incidentally
they will visit the Mardi Gras festivities at
New Orleans on February Il and 10. The
tour will include a sojOurn i'm Florida after
leaving New Orleans.
The trip will. no doubt. have something 10
do with the proposed consolidation Of the
Southern roads, already announced in TnE
TINES. On this subject one Of the best Wall
street experts says:
Negotiations for the purchase of the con-
troll of the Cincinnati Southern and the
other railways which form the Erlangcr
system have not been completed. As the
control Of the property is held In Europe,
the negotiations are conducted with some
difficulty. The exchange Of cable mes
sages has been lively in the last few days.
and the result is considered certain. The
purchase is to be made by the East Iennes-
see. Virginia and Georgia. which is con-
trolled by the Richmond and West Point
Terminal Railway. The rumOr that the
stock of the latter company was about to De
increased by large amount is said by oill-
GERS Of the company to be without fOunda-
tiOn. The share capital may be- enlarged
within a short time, but not I'm direct con-
sequence OF the projected purchase by the
East Tennessee OF the Erlanger roads. n
the negotiations are successful the ar
rangement of details viii require consider
able time. That the deal will be officially
announced i'm a few days is tolerably Ger
tain. but the discussion Of the details may
delay the event"
The earnings Of the shenandoah Valley
road for the month Of January, 1890, were
S9l 900; for 1889, $4,000; am increase OF
S39,oO.

ARCHBISHOP CoRRIGAN.
A special cable from Rome 60 the Mail
SAYS that the Pope has received Archbishop
Corrlgan, OF New York, with every mani
fcstatl0m OF friendship and approval. So far
/ rs the general condition If things j.. con-
cerned, Archbishop Corrigau is thoroughly
endorsed and encouraged by the Pope; but
although he is treated with the greatest
favor by the Propaganda, there is no hope
whatever of "a cardinalate being bestowed
upon him at the present time.
