SCOOPED BY THE B. & 0.

The Richmond Terminal Rufnor Repeated
in a More Emphatic Form-The Great
Southern System Has Been Absorbed
little by Little-Rsading In II.
ATLANTA, March 13.-It is said here on
undoubted authority that deal has been
perfected by which the Richmond Terminal
property passes under control of the Balti-
more and Ohio John Inman is said to
have engineered the matter, and Mr.. Oak
man, formerly Vice President of the Rich
mond and Danville r. R., has been agreed
upon to succeed Inman as President.
This is stated to mean the wrenching from
the hands of Colonel Brice, General
Thomas and their associates the control of
the Richmond and West Point Terminal,
the Richmond and Danville system with its
leased lines, and the East Tennessee system.
The Baltimore and Ohio has long had COW
etous eve on this big Southern system, and
has long been buying Terminal stock, the
Terminal controlling these systems. The
being the block held by the Inman party,
and its purchase places in the hands of the
Baltimore and Ohio the Richmond and Dan
vile system, the Georgia Pacific system, the
East Tennessee and Queen and Crescent
system.
The Central Railroad. of Georgia, which
was leased to the Georgia Pacific and which
is just now cutting such figure in the
courts, is to be dropped and left to shift for
itself The jersey Central and the Reading
the Baltimore and Ohio, making q
consolidation. 1t seems while
the BIfce and Thomas people have been
fighting the 1nman and Calhoun people, this
work making the purchases that have put it
in control.

WHOLESALE KNOCKING OUT

The New System Condemned by Promi-
nent Writer on Sporting Matters.
Relative to the recent feats of Corbert and
others, knocking two or three men out in
one evening, q writer in the London Referee
has the following to say:
"As to the knocktng-out trick, now PLAYED
by big guns ON minor artillerists and nov
ices, look upon IL as the very lowest possi-
BILE form of miscalled sport. It seems to me
to be pure and simple brutality, this setting
up inferior boxers to be battered about by
men against whom they presumably have
no show. Where is the sport in 1.-THE ele-
ment of excitement and uncertainty neces-
sary to sport! Ofcourse now and then you NAV
find so-called swell catch q tartar, but that
is not the intention of the arrangement at
nll. The noble British sportsman's hanker-
ing for blood and freely expressed wish for
'houting" is bad enough when that latter
may occur as an incident in a regular set-to
in what may pass as IL fair match: but it is
poor work indeed to stick up dummies for
the strong to pitch into and "hout." should
think admirers of the performance might
get more satisfaction for their money out of
few hours in a siaughterhouse."

In the Bureau Of Military Intelligence Of

WASHINGTON, March 13.-Secretary Elkins
is much interested in the matter of military
intelligence, and is examining the subject
with great care, with the idea of extending
the functions of the Bureau of Military In
telligence in the War Department, and To-
ca ting it, with view to its expansion and
permanency. This question has had his
earnest attention since the first days of his
administration, but the importance OF the
subject has made him very cautious in
himself familiar with the question involved,
and will undoubtedly act at an early day.
The Secretary has found upon inquiry that
important matters arising in connection
with army administration will be greatly as
sisted and their solution expedited by hav-
ing available information on similar subjects
with reference to foreign service.
