RAILROAD REORGANIZATION.
Basis of the Plan for Putting the She

nandoah Valley on It's Feet
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Sept. IA morn
ing paper publishes the following: "a plan
for the reorganization of the Shenandoah
Valley railroad, which has been in the hands
of receiver for more than five years. has
at last made Its appearance. The road IS 70
be sold at foreclosure sale on Sept 80, and
committees of the first mortgage aud gen
eral mortgage bCudholders have agreed
upon Louis Fitzgerald, George L. W ood ana
Frank 7. Clark, as a COMMITTEES TO Guy the
property.
WHAT THE PLAN CONCENTRATES.
The reorganization plan contemplates an
issue of $40, 900. 600 fifty year 5 per cent.
mortgage bonds. -Four million five hundred
thousand dollars of preferred and common
stock is to be transferred to the Norfolk
and Western railroad in consideration of
certain guarantees. Inc holders OF the
present Shenandoah Valley first mortgage
per cent. bonds will receive par and full
interest in new mortgage bonds, being at
the rate of APO per bond; holders of
Shenandoah Valley general mortgage bonds
pay an as .essment of S64 per $1,000 bond
and receive 81, 100 in Norfolk and Western
preferred.
LEFT OUT IN THE COLD.
No provision seems TO have been made
for holders of Shenandoah Valley income
bonds and stock. The new bonds are TO be
guaranteed by the Norfolk and Western
railroad. OF the Sl0,0O0.00O authorized
$223, 400 will be issued in taking up the
present first mortgage bonds. Four mil
lion two hundred and seventy six thousand
will be used in paying of the receivers Ger
tificates for the trust obligation, for the
cost of reorganization, for double tracking
and improvements and equipment; and the
remaining S25, 900 will be spent in securing
q terminus in Washington, d. c., and the
construction of road from Front Royal
to that place. The plan will undoubtedly
go through, as all opposition to the com
mittee has been allayed."

THE WORLDS FAIR SITE.
The Difficulty of Selecting One Seem
to Grow Greater.


to Grow Greater.
CHICAGO, ILL, Sept THE people Of
Chicago are greatly annoyed because of the
difficulty experienced in getting a suitable
site for the worlds fair. Those having the
matter in charge have so far developed but
one talent; l. e., an ability to botch matters
TO an eminent degree. SO wretchedly have
they conducted operations to date that
many who few months since were enthu-
siastlc workers are heartily disguised, and
express a determination TO vote against the
proposition to issue bonds In aid OF the fair.
The great trouble from the beginning was
that lot of SPECTATORS sought TO line their
pocks regardless of the public interest.
Many of them succeeded in getting into the
directory, and have SO far hoodwinked those
members whose intentions were better than
their understanding. So miserably has the
matter been conducted and so thoroughly
have a majority of the small subscribers
become convinced that the fair will be
huge failure, that they will decline to pay
further subscriptions and in case, as Is now
predicted. the city issue of bonds is defeated
when it comes to vote, the fair Will fail for
want of funds as there are no other means
of obtaining financial aid sufficient to carry
il through. This is we'll understood, and
those who are convinced that the fair will
be conducted in way that will entail last
ing disgrace on Chicago will use every effort
at their command to secure the defeat of
the bond question at the polls.
Washington park will not be rendered to
the worlds fair directors. Such is the
unanimous decision of the South park COM
missioners.

The rust and boil worm have wrought great

His Return.

Mr.. Roland Reed was greeted Sun
day night by the largest audience that
ever witnessed his nimble, light COM
edy-doing in this city. The theatre
was utterly crowded, and good report
declares as many people as would
have made satisfactory audience were
turned away because there was moth
ing left to sell of sitting room, and
very little Of standing. Mr.. Reed
proved his deserving of such audience,
acting with a humor and a Zest that
kept his patrons applauding or laugh
ing, chiefly the latter, during such
time as he was on the stage. In the
"Woman Hatern Mr.. Reed has very
suitable play, farce comedy that
ranges closely with strict comedy,
with central character of eccentrici-
ty, vivacity, loquacity best adapted
to MIR. Reed g peculiarlties as comedian
and character actor. 1t is unnecessary
to compare this merrily effervescenG
comedian with one of more JUNCTION
aud quaint drollery who preceded him
as "Bundy.n Mr.. Reed is of another
type than was Mr.. Raymond, but in
his own way is no less admirable
Moreover, Mr.. Reed is yet young and
is steadily growing professionally and
improving artistically in the service
of legitimate comedy so called. He Is
funny in "The Woman Hatern with
out exceeding the bounds ofpropriety,
his odd humor at tines cOnvulsing the
people on the stage with him as well
as setting the audience ON the laugh.
He comes with a well-selected COM
pany. Mr.. Reed will doubtless have
a profitable week.--Chicago Inter-

The s. A. &c.

An enjoyable game of football was
played at the grounds of the s. A. f.
&. on Government hill Saturday last.
There was an average number ofmem-
bers present and the game was fast
and we'll contested. Messrs. King,
Springail, Arnold and Schoch were
as usual conspicuous by their ener-
getic and spirited play.
This mani game Is growing in pop
ular favor, and it is certain that few
spare hours could not be more pleas
antly spent than in exercise Of.this
kind. Football is hardly known in
San Antonio, except by name, and
when spoken of has heretofore been
deprecated as game more fit for saw
age than civilized beings. This notion
however is rapidly becoming changed
and those who have witnessed it are
surprised that they should ever have
entertained such erroneous ideas as
to its merits. 1t is not a general
trough and tumble" but is played
according to recognized rules, in
which science takes an important
part. Much could be written in It's
favor, both by participants and on
lockers, aud for the rest L can only
add, come to the Government hill
Saturday next at $3.50 p. M, and be
convinced. You will not only spend
an enjoyable two hours as spectators,
but will cheer the players by your
presence.
Any who wish to join the club
should send in their names as early
as possible to our handsome, smiling,
and iudefatigable secretary, Mr.. Eu-
gene Schoch, who will place them
before the next general meeting.

Gov. Campben's Message.

COLUMBUS, o., January l3.-Gov.
Elect Campbell, took the oath of office
today at noon. His message TO the
general assembly is comparatively
brief and touches upon a number Of
subjects of state and public inter-
est. He recommends that home rule
he restored to all the cities as speed
lily as possible, and went into the
needs of the country. He strongly
commends the system of ballot re-
form, commonly called the Australian
system and sketches briefly the sue
cess with which it has met with in
other countries. The argument that
it would be a hardship to illiterate
voters is substantially answered and
sentiment is not educated to the
point and any attempt to effect such
q law would. now probably prove
futile. On the question OF the
school books the governor says,
popular education is the foun-
dalton of freedom and prosperity,
knowledge should be furnished at the
lowest possible cost. The state builds
school houses, provides teachers and
controls every detail of education,
save the furnishing of books. Is
there any sound reason why it should
not assume this function also?
Recent experience in the state of In
diana shows ostensibly that the
school books are equal to those in use
here and are delivered to the children
of that state at 35 to so per cent of
their former cost. Other states have
tried the experiment with apparent
success"

The old Methodist hymnology con-
tains a very melancholy specimen
beginning "Hark from the tombs a

living prison of his soul. 1t says:

that was impressed with the voice of
the late John Mccullough. the actor,
who died in madhouse. The i'm
preston was taken while he was in
confinement. Rambling passages
from plays in which he acted were re-
cited in voice of wonderful power
and pathOs, but at the end of each
passage the actor would stop and say,
in voice to chill the blood, But
now Pm nadia, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
ha-ah-h-h-h. The end of the
laugh was all but indescribable, for
he drew in his breath with a sound
that was partly a shrek and partly a
gasp. If there is ever a voice heard
from the tomb it is when this cylin-
der is put in the monograph"
No cry wrung from Dives in hell
could be more appalling than this.

DO AWAY WITH "wEEDs."

We quite agree with the Ogden
Standard in it's article under the
above head wherein it refers to the
old fashioned and, to us, foolish Gus.
tom of wearing Grape for n certain
time after the death of u fricnd. Tho
Standard says:
Every little while some mntter Of
fact person starts an agitation in ia
vor OF tho adjustment of the somOTe
t%rappings which custom requires TO To
displayed at the burial of the dead.
Naturally, the occasion of tho laying
away Of n loved N calls forth feel
ings Of the deepest sorrow. Yet why
the SOLEMN black should DO chosen,
especially among civilized and Chris
tisnized peoples, for the outward
expression OF This Lind of woe, is not
easy to understand from any stand
point.
The practice Of making it n study
sc to deck the body as to show the
state Of the heart, is ostentation and
nothing nor 1t is n custom which
should not be honored in the observ-
nncc. The face, tho eyes, the tongue
--these are the means by which man
kind, whether civilized or savage,
have always been best able to express
the emotions and always will. True
happiness is no more Il concomitant
OF the royal purple or tho angelic
white, than is heartfelt sorrow Of tho
gloomy black. The world has al
vanced far enough TO shake OF such
vain and traditionary customs. 1t
ought to DO ripe for reform.
