The Associated Railways Of Virginia

tion Of the Atlantic Coast Line,
the Piedmont Air Line and the Seaboard
Air Line. AS is we'll known these roads
have been working under general
agreement between themselves for a
number of years past.
The term of this agreement or contract
expired this week This was generally
known in commercial circles, and there
has been some talk to the effect that the
contract would not be renewed after it's
expiration.
But renewal was effected yesterday.
A special to the CHRONICLE from New
York received yesterday says:
At a meeting held in New York to-day
the contract existing between the Allan
tic Coast Line, the Piedmont Airline
and the Seaboard Airline systems was
renewed easily and without friction, and
the Associated Railways of Virginia and
the Carolinas are established for another
term of years.
There was also meeting here of rep

These are two Of the strongest ani
most important transfer associations o
all the Southern country, and they hav
affected marvellous Improvement and de
velopment in the last few years.

DROWNED WHILE BATHING.
Four Tragic Deaths in Party OfSOuth-
ern Summer BOarders.
[BY United II ess.1

BALTIMORE, Aug. S.-Mrs. Mollie
Storm, the wife of Mr.. S. w. Storm, a
clerk in the tax department at the City
Hall, and Edith, his daughter; Mrs. J.
R. Johnson, wife of the Secretary of the
Viaduct Manufacturing Co., and Carroll,
son of J. O. Graham, clerk of Spring
Grove Asylum, were drowned yesterday
afternoon in St. Inigol's creek, St. Ma
ry's county, while bathing.
The bodies we're recovered by oyster
men in the vicinity and were brought to
this city this morning. The drowned
were members Of party Of fourteen
Baltimoreans, who were boarding for
the summer at Roscroft. The party,
with the exception Of Mrs. Graham,
went bathing, at point that is consid-
cred dangerous because of the tides.
The steamer Sue came along and the
nndertow from the steamer caught the
women and children and swept them
beyond their depth. The captain of
the Sue started his vessel toward the
bathers, but before he could reach them
some oystermen had rescued nine OF
the party. Mrs. Johnson and Edith
Storm lost their lives in heroic efforts
to save Mrs. Storm and Carroll Graham
Mrs. Stevens was insensible when re
covered but was recusitated.

WARD POLITICS.
A Double Slate.
Especial Cor. STATE CHRONICLE

Special Cor. STATE CHRoNIcLE)
There is no trouble about a single
slate. Everybody can understand that.
The vote Is then polled at the ward
meeting in proportion to the two con-
testing candidates strength. Nobody is
deceived. But weak candidate some
times tacks on to the strong slate of an
other. It is found out in caucus Who
can certainly carry the ward. A
slate is made out ostensibly for him
alone, but when they come to the con
vention, it is found they are unanimous
ly for somebody else, too, whose name
was not even called when the vote
was taken, and was not the
strongest-perhaps he had hardly any
strength at all, but he gets there all the
same. "Whose slate is that you are
reading out p asked a voter Of a ward
politician in primary. cit is Mr.. AS"
said the politician. 'But we are for
him, too," said the voter. eyes, but
We are the true, original A men," said
the politician. These true original "a"
men had been slated in ward caucus
of B'5 friends. A was SO strong he
NiNA ASCSA cttlJ NttOSOc, u OlIl,
and the delegates chosen were
found TO be at the convention ''the only
true original B men" also. B rode in
on AS strength. Nobody could dispute
their being A men-nobody knew they
were B men. There are two ways Of
breaking Up this sort of thing.
l. Whenever there is a contest over
more than one Office let the delegates
be chosen with reference to every con-
test, even if you have to break several
states to get delegates of the right
complexion.
2. Let the vote be polled at the ward
meeting relative to each Office where
there is contest, and delegates be
chosen or instructed accordingly. It is
certainly not fair for one strong candi-
date to determinine the complexion of
the delegation for every officer. Still less
is il fair if his delegates have been
chosen with reference to some weak
candidates interests. Nothing can elect
the ticket this year but the utmost fais
play in all the nominations.

THE NATIONAL CONGRESS.
lie TARIFF BILL UP..RJJT NO
PROGRESS MADE.
senator Edmunds Reports Substitute
Tor the judiciary Bill-.The General
Deficiency Bill in the House.

lBy United Press.l
WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-The Senate to-
day adopted the conference report Oh
the fortification bill, and then discussed
Tor long while the disagreeing confer
ence report on the sundry civil bill,
nnaily agreeing to it, and ordering
further conference on the irrigation
items. Later in the afternoon the tariff
Oil was taken up, but no progress was
made with the bill.
Mr.. Edmunds, from the judiciary
committee, submitted to the Senate an
amendment IN the shape of a substitute
Tor the bill reported by Mr.. Ewarts from
the majority of the committee few dexe
ago to enlarge aud make Jne circuit
courts Of the United States courts Of ap-
peal, and to limit the jurisdiction Of the
United States Supreme court in some Iii
recSlons. The substitute reported by the
minority to day proposes to make any
three Judges Of the UnitedStates Supreme
court constitute quorum to hear and
try cases and render decisions. It also
provides that separate divisions of the
court may direct hearing before the
full court, of matters before them which
involve questions of unusual difficulty
| or Importance. Causes pending and
which may hereafter be pending in the
United States Supreme court in which
are involved questions arising under the
| constitution of the United States, are to
be heard before the full court
Accompanying the substitute is the
! OYfN IF hn l1,
tors Edmunds, Ingalls, and Vest, in
which they criticise the provisions of
the majority bill. They question the wis
dom Of excluding from review by the
United States Supreme court of all cases
brought by citizens Of the different
States, aliens, &c. The constitution, they
say, puts suits of that character upoI
the same footing as suits drawing il
question the constitution Of the United
States. Every suitor in the courts o
the United States should have an equa
right to take the judgment of the high
est tribunal upon his particular case, b.
it great Or small. Leaving final decis
ions to nine different courts Of appeal
as proposed by the majority, the mi
nority think would produce results quit
different from and out Of harmony wit
each other.

The House to-day finished considera
ton of the general deficiency bill an
passed it early in the afternoon. Th
remainder of the afternoon was spent
discussing a resolution from the CON
mittee on rules, to bring the Senat
amendments to the Indian appropriate
bill before the House for immedlat

MINORITY REPRESENTATIO

Especial Cor. Of STATE CHRONICLE.I
Wherever in any ward or township
minority is throttled, let the minority
organize and send up delegates and they
will certainly be recognized in the county
convention.
Mere instruction of delegates elected
in one man s interest will not be fair to
another's. The latter is as much enti-
tied to his delegates and to their pres
ence and influence in the convention as
the former; and it would not be fair to
put him off with instructed delegates
who are against him at heart aud
who will leave him as soon as
they can, and will not work for him at
any time, but, being the caucus nomi-
| nees of another candidate will put in
every lick they can against him, even if
| compelled for while to vote for him.
If the caucus nominees Of particular
candidate in a ward primary are elected,
let other delegates enough to cast the
strength of the minority candidate be
| chosen for him, and both together
will represent the ward. Every ward
has right to send as many
delegates to cast its votes as it may
deem proper, and the more the better.
If there is more than one contest com
mittee consisting of the friends of each
contesting candidate ought to be ap-
pointed and be instructed to prepare a
list Of delegates which shall represent
fairly and equitably the interests of each
candidate, giving to each q number Of
friends on the delegation proportional
to his strength developed in the ware
primary, and recommending the
required number of delegates tc
cast such strength. The first question
to determine in each primary is whether
it will have minority representation o.
not. If it refuses, then it will be th'
duty Of the minority to withdraw an(
send it's own delegates, proportioned il
reference to their number as compared
with the majority, and they will surel.
be recognized in the county convention

The scene at his conclusion beggars

upon him for nearly half an hour were
such as not only to swell with

Fabulous Sum of s2S ZOO, 900
per annum, and the aggregate Of their
daily drawings is over $50, 600, 900 more.
They receive annually a million and q
