THE RICHMOND
TERMINAL COMPANY,
Probably 7 here Will be
Some Changes in the
Management.
NMAN SICK
And Not A6le to Leare the House,
THE adjustment Committee
Not Yet appointed.
BY the United Press.

New YORK, Dec. %. F. p.
Olcott, President of the Central
Trust Company, said this afternoon
that he had not yet appointed the
committee to serve with himself in
adjusting the affairs of the Rich
mond Terminal Railroad Company
and putting it on firm financial foot
ing and would not do so to-day. A
meeting of capitalists, among whom
were the presidents of a couple of
prominent banks, was held this
afternoon in consultation upon the
affairs of the company, at which
General Thomas and Mr.. Olcott
were present. After the meeting,
both Mr.. Olcott and General
Thomas declared they had nothing
TO say about the meeting. General
Thomas, in reply to questions of a
reporter, said that it might be re-
garded as certain that there
would be no assessment on
the stock. With reference to
reports that syndicate of CAPT
talists was to raise such money as
was needed to carry the debt, Gen.
Thomas said that there was very lit
tie money needed. He thought the
advance in price of stock and its
strength on the market showed how
the last movement to exclude out
slderS from the management of the
sompany's affairs was regarded by
the public. 1t is understood that
certain changes in the management
OF the company's affairs have al
ready been agreed upon by General
Thomas and the friends associated
with him in the recent deal of the
company, and that as soon as Mr..
Olcott's committee are appointed
and take hold, it will among other
things recommend that these
changes be made.

THE DEATH WATCH.
Benson, the Leavenworth Murderer,
ATTEMPTS Suicide Again.


ST. LOUIS, Dec. 10. The Republics
Leavenworth, Kansas, special says:
Charles Albert Benson, murderer Of
Mrs Mettman, who was recently res
pited and who is to hang February
s. has made his second unsuccessful
attempt to commit suicide. After
attempting to escape from Jail by fix
ing a dummy in his cell he was placed
in solitary confinement. Since that
time he has been very quiet, even for
a prisoner so closely confined. The
jailer thought the little German was
sulking, and did not pay much atten-
tion to him.
For the last three days he alb
stained almost totally from food, ex-
cusing himself on the plea of not
telling well. To-day a physician
visited the condemned man, and a
shocking discovery was made. In
his endeavor to end his life Benson
had used pin, and a long ragged
red line from ear to ear across his
throat gave ample evidence of his
effort to cheat the gallows. The
man had become so reduced physi-
cally under this self-imposing tor
ture that his condition is critical
The death watch was again put on

The marked benefit which people in run
down or weakened state Of health derive
from Hoods Sarsaparilla, conclusively proves
the claim that this medicine "makes the weak.

imparting fictitious strength from which there
must follow reaction of greater weakness

Wholesale Discharge of Workmen by
The Richmond Terminal Company.
A telegram from Atlanta Ca, says
that five hundred skilled mechanics
at work on the Central road between
Atlanta and Savannah have been dis
charged by the Richmond Terminal.
The order has been issued for a GEN
eral reduction in expenditures, the
cut in the Macon shops being fixed at
$l5, 600 for the month. This action
creates intense dissatisfaction in Ma
con and Savannah and insures q hos
tile legislative delegation from those
cities in the next Legislature. It was
through the friendly offices of the
delegations from these cities that hos
tile Legislation was defeated last sum-
mer. Several days ago the Richmond
and Danville began suspending en-
ployees on different points on it's line.
The work still goes on, and yester
day morning % per cent. of the force
OF men employed by this gigantic
system OF railroads were suspended.
On the Central division over five hun
dred men have been suspended. On
the Georgia Pacific very few have
been suspended. Men have been sus-
pended at Macon, Savannah, Angus
ia, Charlotte, Lynchburg, Richmond
and Manchester. Sixty five have been
suspended from the Atlanta shops.
On the whole system 1t is estimated
that twenty-five hundred have been
dropped

store the lost appetite.

Catarrh Can't be Cured

with local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh
is blood or constitutional disease, and
in order to cure it you have to take in
ternal remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, and acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is no quack medicine. 1t was
prescribed by one of the best physicians
in this country for years, and is a reg
ular prescription. 1t is composed of
the best tonics known, combined with
the best blood purifiers, acting directly
on the mucous surfaces. The perfect
combination of the two ingredients is
what produces such wonderful results
in curing catarrh. Send for testimoni-
ais.

WE have not fully endorsed, although
we reproduced, the structures of Pro-
lessor Peterborough there was I'M
questionably world of "horse sense !"
in them. We have now, for close on to
twenty years, discussed this subject in
these columns and elsewhere; and we
still maintain, as we have always main
tanned, that the successful industrial
school must be manual-labor school.
General Armstrong has demonstrated
the fact, and his great school stands as
its undeniable proof. The great body
of young men from whom these schools
are and must be recruited are too poor
to attend any other than schools in
which they must make their own way,
to great extent unaided. This alone
is sufficient to settle the matter in the
minds of all who know the facts.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1891-10-28

HAMPTON is entirely different. In
the first place, the races trained there
are consciously not of the aristocracy.
They are workers, and expect to be
workers. They honor labor, because
they see that by labor they are elevated.
They rejoice in everything they do, and
find it a distinction to become good me-
chanics. Those men who choose the
professions learn first to be working
men and women. The spirit of democ-
racy, of equality, is all through their
work. But it is pity that negroes and
Indians only should have so fully what
so many hundreds of white men desire
as yet in vain. We believe in treating
all alike.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1891-10-28

BUT while one good reason is enough,
and while the piling up of argument
often weakens the effect upon the
reader, there is another and equally
good reason why all the industrial
schools should give large place to
manual-labor methods of instruction.

close connection with literary college.
The example is all against it; the influ-

vitiate the other. 1t is impossible to

WE PRINT elsewhere, with much sat-
isfactioD, the communication of Gen.
eral Armstrong, giving a sketch of
what is being done at the widely known
and everywhere admired Hampton In
stitute in Virginia. We have always
regarded it as the model and type of
such school, and have mourned that
only negroes have had such opportuni-
ties furnished them. We have no fear
in saying that, if the Hampton methods
were closely followed in the regular
land grant colleges, nothing but praise
of them could be found in the agricultu-
raj press and community. But where
do we see it? Is there one of them that
follows, or even attempts to follow the
Hampton methods, or to furnish the
Hampton opportunities? So far as we
are aware, not one; nor does there ap-
pear the least prospect of such a course.
On the contrary, the divergence con-
stantly increases, and manual labor in
such institutions is scornfully "whis-
tied down the wind"

SUCH men sometimes think that, at
least, if they cannot do farm work, they
can Superintend it. But they cannot.
Unless you have done work yourself
you can never properly judge of it as
done by others. If your help know
that you cannot do what they can do
so easily, you never will have any due
and necessary control over them. You
cannot even judge whether they are
doing it well, or doing as much as they
should. They, in fact, have you at
their mercy. To the fact that we can
do anything on the farm better than
any man we ever hired, we ascribe it
that we have been able to make farm
ing pay. Even now, in our sixty-fourth
year, we frequently surprise an inca
pable or Sinking hand by showing him
I" a thing or two" 1t is on the farm as
it is on shipboard-no one can go
through the lubber-hold to captaincy.
