SOUTHERN RAILWAY RATEs.u 10
The Roads Not in a Hurry to Sign
the New Agreement.

New York, June 16.-The annual meet
ing OF the Southern Railway and Steam
snip Association continued to-day at the
Fifth Avenue hotel, the session beginning
at 10 o'clock. Discussion over the new
agreement was Immediately begun. The
various roads did not agree to sign the
document with the alacrity that had been
anticipated. The subcommittee which
was appointed at yesterdays session to
acD on The matter of a new agreement re-
ported no progress and asked that the
maGter be referred back to the meeting
ana that the committee be discharged.
Az noon the discussion was still going on,
no acUlon having been taken.
There has been general cutting of rates
Dy various roads, and there is a clause in
the new agreement for the purpose of put
ting a stop to the practice. Few of the
roads nave been able to resist the tempta-
llon TO thus secure business that would
OtnerWise go to rival roads and strong op-
posltlon has been developed against chang
ing the old agreement in this particular.
IL Is this clause in the new agreement that
mas made trouble and the executive board
ana board of adjustment have been unable
10 smooth matters over.
THE NORFOLK AND WESTERNS EXTENSION.
The other point which has been turned
over to subcommittee is the exact rela-
tlonship to the association of the exten-
sion of the Norfolk and Western to Co
lujnous, o. This extension was formerly
known as the Scioto Valley road. It's
situation gives it little in common with the
other roads. in the association other than
It's connection with the Norfolk and West
ern system. 1t taps a large business in
the neighborhood by other roads in the
association and comes into competition
with lines not affected by their rules and
regulations. The complication is one not
easily disposed of. The meeting continued
in session until 1880 o'clock without ar
irving at settlement of any of the ques-
tlons involved. The discussion was lively
and at times warm.
Finding it impossible to come to any
settlement of the questions involved, the
meeting was adjourned to meet July II at
Manhattan beach At that time the sub
committee in charge of the main questions
for consideration will render reports
The most important questions are the
ditferential rates from the seaboard and
the relationship to the association of the
extension of the Norfolk and Western
road. After the adjournment of the meet
ing the executive committee went into
executive session for the purpose of act
ing upon points coming within their
province.
At the close of the meeting Commits
sioner K. B. Stahlman expressed belief
that while some of the roads were not in
clined to sign the new agreement, they
would all come in at the meeting July II.
Other members of the association were
not so confident.

tory of the Central Wesleyan College was
destroyed by fire last night At the time
the fire was discovered 1 200 people were
in the college hall in attendance on the
commencement exercises. That a panic
did not ensue is due to the presence of
mind Of the presiding officer, who quietly
had the door locked separating
the hall from the burning portion
and allowing those in the audi
ence to make their exit calmly and
safely. Several persons were injured by
falling timbers while attempting to ex-
tinguish the blaze The electric lights
were shut off to prevent an accident,
leaving the city in darkness. Prof Ker-

SOUTH CAROLINA WHISKY.
The First Flask Under the State Seal
Received at Charleston.

Charleston, 8. c., June l6.-The first
flask of Tillman whisky arrived here to-
day and was put on exhibition on Broad
street. 1t was Rot surrounded by crowd
prohibitionists and Mrs Chaplin and her
crowd did not send wreaths and garlands
to adorn it. II is just possible that these
people are beginning TO realize what a
horrible shame has come to this state
when its shield ana coat of arms orna-
ment flask of cheap whisky.
In the meantime Gibbes Whaley
and his conferes on the board of control
are busy doing nothing. The four petit
tiOns that were filed yesterday don't
amount to anything and there are five or
six more behind which amount to the
same.
The chairman Of the board of control
has stated officially that there is to be no
limit as to the time in which applications
may be filed.
1t looks as If it is going to be long time
before any one viii be able to get a
majority of the freehold voters to sign a
petition to appoint him state barkeeper
in Charleston. One of the applicants has
received a letter from Gov. Tillman
stating positively that no petition win be
granted unless it has the Endorsement of
majority of the freehold voters of the
county on it. So unless Mrs. Chaplin, the
president of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, takes hand and
circulates the petitions among her free
hold prohibition friends, it is probable
that Charleston will not tipple in the Of
tcial cocktail.
THE FIGHT IN RICHLAND.
Columbia, S. c., June 16-If Richland
does not have dispensary it will not be
the fault of the authorities, The county
board met to-day and received number
of applications for the position of dis
penser, but postponed action in order to
allow some of them to make their petit
tions conform to the law The law re-
quires that copy of each petition shall
be filed with the clerk of court. To-day
only one petition was filed, and it was dis
covered by a newspaper man that
the copy was not exact; that some
Of the signers had written on the
original proviso that they did not ask
for the establishment of a dispensary,
but that in the copy filed with the clerk
OF court for public Inspection these pro-
visos were omitted. Chairman Folk in
advertently allowed reporter to get a
glimpse of the original but as soon as he
saw that the newspapcr man was copying
the provisO after oneOf the signatures he
ierked it out of his hand, saying that that
OuBhb llOJ 10 Oe udue PuDllc. Inc OInClal
list of the city clerk shows that there are
651 freeholders in town, while none of the
applications have over 266 names. The
auditors books, which are said not 10 in
clude twenty-eight blocks of the city,
show only about 4i0 names. The appli-
can't is required to have majority of the
freeholders. The board has decided to
have the auditor prepare list, which
they will use. 1t is probable that Mai J.
K. Marshall, precentor in the Second
Presbyterian church OF this city, will be
appointed chief state constable to see that
the dispensary law is enforced.
