Mrs. Gen. Garnet Poscy.

At Yazoo City, Mississippi, on
Saturday, january 2, 1892, there
passed out Of the life Of this world
into tho life Of eternity, tho char
table, warm-hcartcd, affection
ate, accomplished and queenly
Christian lady whose name heads
this sad notice Of com.nemoration.
Constant amid trialsiand attiic-
tions, true to the faith of Christ
IL devoted member of the CathCl
Church, she attached to her IN
loving and indisofubie friendship
all among whom it was her lot,
in long and exemplary existence
to he cast; IL life that was filed to
overlooking for her with the chas-
tening and purifying influences OF
many severe crosses and trials,
such as under which Il soul less
fortified by religious inspirations
and consultations must have fors;l-
ken the faith, but which seemed
to weld more firmly tho golden
bands that held her in the bIcssc,!
and true communion of saints.
Mrs. Poscy WAS the relfct OF
that Confederate hero, BriGadier
General Carnot posey, who geld
ed up his life in defense of hi:
state and his section on the hard
fought field off Dristuw Station,
Va, in 1868 while gallantiy lead
ing Il brigade Of Mississippi Vat
liant soldiers. She removed with
her children from her home nj
Woodvillc to Iazoo City about
eighteen years ago and there, af-
ter passing through many vlc!ssi-
tudes and encountering Euntold
sricfs, Uot:hly in the shocking
murder of two noble ard manly
sons, she departed as she had l,v-
! ed firm in the faith and fortified
with the sacramcnts of Christ :
Church. May her immortal SOU
rest in peace.

THE "A. P" WILL DIE.

The Once Omnipotent News Gatherer
Soon to be Dissolved.
NEW YORK. Dec. 13.-It is reported here
that the Associated Press, the oldest
news collecting agency in the United
States, which for nearly two generations
has supplied general telegraph news to
nearly all the leading newspapers in the
United States, will be merged on Jan
uary next with its young and powerful
rival, the United Press Association.
This announcement means much to
the newspapers of the whole country,
and is of interest to every newspaper
reader. Inc New York Associated Press
was organized nearly half century ago
by the leading morning newspapers Of
New York city to collect telegraph news
Of the United States and (after the first
Atlantic cable was laid of Europe. The
news was sold TO the other newspapers in
every other important American city.
With the marvellous growth of the
telegraph service aud the vast increase in
the number OF daily newspapers printed
in small towns, the business OF the Asso-
ciated Press expanded from n nightly
service Of few hundred words of tsle-
graphic news bulletins TO daily service
often exceeding 100000 words from all
points of the civilized world. The busi-
ness of selling this news To the news
papers OF other cities became IN time so
profitable TO the New York Association
that its members were not only able to
get their own news service practically
free, but they distributed at stated inter
walls handsome dividends on the money
invested.
SO valuable did this partnership become
to each of the original members that the
Associated Press franchise" as it was
called. was estimated as an asset worth
$3.50, 900 alone. The newspapers owning

A NEW POWER HOUSE.
Union Railroad Company Will Erect
A Plant on Eddy Street.
LAND SECURED, SURVEYS MADE,
The "News'' IL Able to Give Definite News
About the Big Enterprise Now Under
Way Z" supply Power For the Elec-
trio Street Cars.

Ii has been understood for some time
that the Union Railroad Company has
been quietly looking around for site for
new electric-power house, but the mat
ter has been merely cause for specula-
tion so far as the general public was con-
cerned.
That the company intends to equip it's
lines with electric motors is pretty gen
orally understood, and the question as to
aroused considerable interest in real
estate circles. IL is known that consid-
erable plot of ground will be necessary To
carry out the company,s plans. aud the
settlement OF the difficulty has engrossed
the attention of the roads officials for
some mcnths.
The NEWS is in a position to state that
the deal has already been consummated,
and that a valuable piece of property has
at last been obtained by the company.
and that the work OF constructing the
power house will begin without further
delay.
The ground was purchased few days
ago OF X. Is. Little e. Co., the coal deal
ers, and embraces d large plat OF land ex-
tending from Point street to the limits
OF the Rhode Island Lumber Company's
yards, distance of $50 feet, and from
Eddy street to point 200 feet from the
wharf. The land is very valuable, being
i'm an industrial section Of the town, and
is great acquisition to the company's
property.
Considerable delay has been caused by
the difficulties necessarily attendant
upon the clearing of the land. as several
firms are occupying the ground, and this
fact has caused the company to withhold
the work Of construction.
1t is stated now, however, that ali nee
essary details have been completed, and
that tue company will push matters AS
rapidly as possible.
Surveys of the site are already COM
pleted, and the work of actual construc-
tion will in all probability begin in a few
days.
The company considers itself fortun ate
in obtaining piece of property so well
located and which affords so ample 4. ter
ritory for the construction Of a mammoth
plant.
Enough land is involved in the pur-
chase TO meet the requirements of the
road for u century TO come. The engi-
neers of the road are hard at work upon
the plans.
The plant will involve the expenditure
Of large sum of money, but the road
proposes TO spare no expense TO make its
facilities adequate to meet whatever draft
may be made upon its working capacity v
in the future 1t will completely solve
the transportation problem that has
troubled the city SO long

Richardson, under the will OF Thomas A.
Richardson. brings action for the full
amount Of the annuity bequeathed to

cient left of tho estate TO pay all the
debts, legacies and annuties in full.
l. is claimed that by the form
Of the will it was intended
complainant should be paid, ev if at the
sacrifice of the minor bequ, y The
question is whether the complainant is
entitled to the full amount. or whether
his annuity shall abate in the same pro-
portion as the other legacies given in the
will. The court took the papers and held
the matter for advisement.

Court of Common Pleas
In the Court OF Common Peas this

ents in the case were sacrificed by unfair
sale, aud were not fraudulently valued
in the capitalization but were worth
what they were put in for; but that in
solvency was caused by dissensions in the
eomPaHy.-
Before Judge Wilbur the case of Walter
G. Nichols VS.. Dan Mclaughlin, appel
liant, was called, and the plaintiffs side
of the case beard. 1t seems that the de-
fendant hired horse and wagon from the

NO STEERAGE.
The North Atlantic steamship Association
Aband0ns the Traffic

Abandons the Traffic.
LONDON. Dec l3.-Mr. Peters, secretary
of the North Atlantic Steamship Associa.
tion, states that, in view of the American
regulations In regard to immigrants. the
association decided yesterday to carry on
its vessels only saloon and second-class
passengers from January next. II was
also decided to materially reduce the
mum Der OF sailings during 1898 and to
raise the saloon and second cabin rates in
order TO make up the loss incurred
through abandoning the steerage traffic.
All special excursion rates for the
Chicago Columbian Exhibition have been
Withdrawn by the Association and ther e
is no doubt that this action will resnlt in
a large falling off in the number of for
eign visi ors To the Worlds Fair.
The only persons pleased by the step
are Sir Charles Tupper. Canadian high
commissioner and Archie Baker, the
European agent Of the Canadian Pacific
Railroad Company. Mr.. Baker said TO-
night: "The United States closing down
or greatly curtailing the steerage traffic
cannot but assist the development OF the
Dominion"
IL is generally admitted that the re
striction Of immigration would inju-
riously affect every transar lantic liner.
