ship organization and formed the
Southern Mississippi Valley Associa-
ton. The seceders declared that they
were not allowed an adequate voice in
the management of the association.
at has been found that the expert
ment of running two railroad associa-
ton of slmilaIs character in the South
has not proved successful, and for some
time influential interests have been
working 10 bring about a Irecon nciliation.
Almost all of the important railroads
east of the Mississippi and south of the
Ohio and Potomac Rivers are included
in tie new association. The Cheese
peake dc Ohio is a conspicuous eXcep-
tiOn. Under Mr.. NJ. +. Ingalls, ener-
getic presidency it is the policy of that
road to maintain an independent atti-
tude in its relations with other rail-
roads.
"The Southern Railway 6 Steamship
Association was organized in Atlanta,
Ga, on Sept. II, 1875. Mr.. Albert Fink,
then General Manager of the Louis
Vile u Nashville Railroad, drafted the
plan and was the first commissioner of
of the association. For the past few
years Thomas III. Carter, of Atlanta, has
been commissioner and Charles A. Sin
dali secretary. In the consolidation
was conceded to the Southeastern
Mississippi Valley people, and they
supported the Third Vice President of
the Louisville & Nashville Railroad,

Stahlman will enter at once upon the
performance OF the duties of commits
sioner, it has been agreed that the re-
firing officers will continue to draw
their salaries until the expirationnof
their terms of office, next August. The
headquarters of the association will re-
main in Atlanta, Ga 1t is hoped that
the new organization will be able to do
work in equalizing and main
tanning rates, and also to preserve har-
mony between all of the Southern
roads,"
1t is an extremely complimentary
evidence of the organizing and cOnsoli-
dating abilities of Mai. E. B. Stahlman
that so soon after taking hold of the
affairs OF the transportation business of
the South such very marked results
have been attained. First-class rates
advanced from 40 cents to ~ cents; sec
ond from 40 to 63 cents, third from % to
49 cents, fourth % to 30 cents, fifth % to
30 cents and sixth left as it is now, %
cents. 1t is not at all surprising tina!
an extremely warm sense of admiration
for the organizing and pooling abilities
of the Mayor should be excited in the
breasts of the owners of the roads, but
it is very doubtful whether the same
feeling For the Hon. John McDowell's
friend will be aroused in the hearts of
the merchants and farmers who will
pay this difference.

The Coroner Begins an Official InVestiga-
tiOn of the Recent H Holocaust.
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 26.-Monday the
coroner began an official inquiry into
the causes leading to the Surgical ms
tute horror. Slow progress was made.
Mrs. Dicklow, of Farnham, Neb., testi-
fed that she was awakened by the
presence of smoke, and that she aroused
the occupants of rooms close at hand.
She tried to save Miss Irna Payne, a
helpless cripple, but was compelled to
abandon her.
Mrs. Dicklow also testified that her
own life, as well as that of her child,
would have been sacrificed but for po-
Eceman, and that it was twenty minut IS
after she discovered the smoke before an
alarm was sounded. The child after
ward died of exposure. Other witnesses
were examined looking only to the
Identification of the dead.

of educational advantages, she is no
companion to the unlearned. She is
not in the social whirl, but is found at
the head of good society. She is not
found in the dens of poverty, nor in the
mansions of thieves. You will not find
her in the naughty realms of plutocracy,
but trying to elevate and refine the
beings of her race. The grandest being

that she conscientiously believes will
be instrumental in elevating The minds

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The cabinet
met promptly at 11:3O Tuesday morn
ing, all the members being present ex-
cept Secretaries Foster and EIkins.
Secretary Blaine was late in arriving.
No confirmation of the Santiago dis
patch published Tuesday morning can
be obtained on any side, and in no Off
cial quarter is the dispatch credited.
Postmaster General Wanamaker said
Tuesday that war was no nearer than it
was last week.
He had not, he said, heard that Chill
had replied to the United States. He in
timated that after the meeting of the
cabinet he would be more familiar with
the situation.
The cabinet session lasted until after
o'clock, and was devoted almost wholly
to the discussion of the Chilian situa-
ton.
At 40 p. m. the cabinet meeting ad-
journed. Every member present was
asked if reply had been received from
Chilli, and every one, as though con-
certed action had been determined upon,
declined to answer.
President Harrison was asked about
the matter. but sent word that he would
not say anything on the subject Mr.
Blaine, who before the cabinet met, Lad
stated that mo reply that he had heard
of" had been received from Chill, after
the cabinet meeting would not even re-
peat or confirm his former statement.

best of OBJ ainable information that
Chill has not yet replied to the ultima
tum of the United States
