DEATH IN A SCHOOL FIRE.
TWO YOUNG MEN PERISH IN THE FLAMES
THE VICTIMS.

One night last week fire was discOv-
cred in tho Monroe High School at Mon
roe, N. c. An alarm was at once sen
in, and the students of the school were
aroused as soon as possible, but it was
too late to save the building and two
unfortunate young men, Thomas E.
Pemberton, of Little Rock, Ark, and
Albert Bost. Of Bost's Mill, N. c., per-
ished in the flames. At the first alarm
the>young ladies, who roomed on the
ground floor, made their escape. The
young men roomed on the third floor,
and when the alarm reached them the
means of escape were partially cut off
and the building filled with smoke and
flames.
Albert Bost and A. G.. Rhodes were
in room together Albert awakened
first, and discovering fire, awoke
Rhodes. In crying to escape, Albert
started for the west entrance, which
was in the part of the building where
the fire originated. He was suffocat
ed by smoke, overcome by heat aud
went down with the building. Rhodes
sought the east entrance, and managed
to escape after being severely burned
about the head neck and arms.
Thomas Pe,nberton was not seen at
all, and his remains were found on the
wire springs OF his bed, leading to the
belief that he did not awake at
all. The head, arm and leg
of the bodies were burned off, leaving
a mass of charred flesh. The sbuilding
was completely destroyed, together
with the school furniture, four pianos
and the library. The origin of the fire
is not known. Supposed to be tho dirty
work of ali inceDdiarv.

State Ownership of Railroads..

The consular reports from Switzerland to
other governments give the outlines OF 4
very important SocialiStic movement, which
is not, however, undertaken to further So
cialiStic principles, or with any reference to
socialism whatever, says the Providence
Telegram. It Is the state ownership of all
the railroads within the republic, and the
great project is entered into TO free the rail
roads from all foreiCnn control and TO work
them in the interests of the public
This scheme is of sufficient interest in
this country, where the broadening of the
functions of the state is being discussed
with more interest each year, TO warrant
reference TO 1t somewhat in detail.
In June last year the Federal assembly
sanctioned loan of Sl3, S66, 900 to form
fund for this purpose, and ii the same time
authorized the Federal council to effect the
gradual purchase of the l04, 900 privileged
shares of the Jura-Simplon railroad against
Federal per cent bonds ut 10 Negotiations
were then entered into with syndicate of
French, German and Swiss banks, and an
arrangement was concluded which resulted
IN the issue of the loan at a price which
placed il ON the footing of 81 per cent
loan BY the end of the year the Federal
council had effected the purchase of 2920
shares of the company for cash, and of
"a. 302 for Federal bonds at 4 cost Of s., S3S,
go so that 81. 021 obs remains TO the credit
of the railroad purchase fund. The total
receipts derived from these shares amounted
at the end of the year to S3O5. TOO, while the
interest on their purchase money was
$50. 30, thus leaving surplus of S:}5,3l5 TO
be employed as sinking fund.
i still more important step in the same
direction has recently been taken by the
Federal assembly. The Federal council i'll
the course of last autumn addressed mes
sage to the two chambers proposing the
purchase of $4,000 of the 100000 shares of
the Central railroad, and the modification
of laws that forbid one person holding
more than onc-tifth of the total shares of
any railway, or in case more than One-tifJh
interest was owned by one person that only
one-tifth of the shares could be voted by
him, so that the Federal or cantona gov
ermmtnts can hold as many shares as they
please and exercise contro! over tie affairs
of the road to the full extent of ownership.
This measure was rejected because ii was
not radical enough, and a substitute pro
posing to purchase the Central railroad out
right was passed.
This commits Switzerland TO the definite
policy of state ownership Of the railroads.
1t will be seen that the financial load upon
the country Will be immense at first. but
the policy of paying for railroad stock in
bonds of the loan authorized to purchase
them and the creation of a sinking fund
with the excess of dividends from opera
ting the roads over the interest on the loan
will make the great debt easy to carry and
without resort 10 direct taxation.

who favored the paying of a dividend was
Russell Sage Gould said that Sage was in
favor of the payment of 4 dividend at the
rate of 4 per cent. The statement was
generally regarded as Il favorable one. The
securities offsetting the floating debt show
at the present price a surplus OF sl0.0No,om,
and the refunding of the Missouri Pacific

Gould's New Orleans Line.

Special TO the Gazette.
NEW YORK, Sept 30-Some railroad men
say that Goulds proposed plan of diverting
the grain shipments to New Orleans has
reference to Il branch now in course of
construction from Alexandria to McGee's
station on the arkansas Valley railroad.
Special dispatches from New Orleans say
this branch is nearly finished, the
work Of construction having been going on
for some time. Two bridges over the
Washita and Red rivers remain to be con-
structed, and few miles of track south of
Columbia are as yet to be finished. The
road passes through Monroe andn Dastrop
i'll Louisiana, Columbia and Ar
kansas City in Arkansas and other
progressive place. The new line IS Il branch
of the Iron Mountain road, and connects
with the Missouri Pacific through the Fort
Smith and Little Rock, tapping the Kansas
belt aud other cattle producing sections.
Gould would also have important grain con-
nectiOns through the Texas and Pacific
reaching the Panhandle and Western
Texas by means of the Fort Worth and
Denver road. All these routes If utilized
for this purpose would be an immense grand
business for New Orleans, necesSitating
the building Of elevators and the invest
ment of great deal of capital in New Or
leans, besides the added business and the
employment of largely increased force Of
men. II would also naturally increase the
importance of New Orleans as i shipping
point. The general opinion of railway men
is that if Gould is serious i'll his intentions
the improvements will be made before next
season.
George Gould said this afternoon to a re
porter of The GAZETTE that the new
branches CT the Iron Mountain road con-
Meeting the Missouri Pacific with New Or
leans. 50 that grain can be shipped
to that port by way of the Mis-
souri, Pacific. would be COM
pleted aud cars running on it by
January /, 1892 Gould said vessels carry
ing cotton required grain for ballast and
would, therefore, carry it very cheap.
Grain could be carried on the bottoms of
vessels and cotton De packed on top 1t
was believed that the business to be done
that way in consequence of the new connec-
ton with the Missouri Pacific, would be
very profitable.
