TIE MEETING POSTPONED.
Railroad Hen to Meet Week Later,
as Some Were Unable to Attend.


The meeting of the Southern Railway
and Steamship Association, which was to
have been held in Atlanta on Thursday of
this week, has been postponed until Tues
day, Nov. Z, on account Of the fact that
the members of some of the most impor-
tant lines in the association have found it
impossible for them to attend on the date
first set.
From all accounts and indications the
meeting will be an interesting one if any
thing can be learned as to what action
will be taken 1t is well known that the
subject of rates is to come up in various
phases, and the question of the cotton
traffic is expected to cut some figure in
the meeting.
1t is said that the roads to Norfolk and
other Northern Atlantic ports are clam
oring for a removal of the differential on
cotton which was put back some time
ago, and they will urge this matter before
the executive committee. The interests
of the railroads to the south Atlantic
ports, however, are at stake. and it is
hardly probable that their representa-
tives will yield the point if it can be
avoided

HIS DEATH ACCIDENTAL.
William R. Kennard Not a Suicide in
Chicago.

1t appears that the report of the drown
ing of William Il. Kennard, a son of Cap
tain j. S. Kennard, of this city, at Chi
cago, as being suicide, is not justi-
fed by the facts. The evidence in
the case now points to an accidental
death.
The coroner's jury reported that it
was unable to determine from the evil
dence whether the death was accidental
or otherwise, but there was certainly
no evidence to justify the report of sui
eide
His body was found near the draw
bridge across the Chicago river at Van
Buren, street, and is believed that the
bridge moved just as he was about to
cross and that he fell into the river AS he
could not swim, he was drowned before
assistance could reach him.
The deceased was a brother of Mr..
John H. Kenuard, superintendent of the
city subscription department of the

MADE a BIG STEAL.

A White Man Turned Over to the
Superior Court on a Charge Of Burg
larry.
J. p. Keene, a white man, who came
from South Carolina a short time ago, an
account Of whose arrest for the theft Of
some money from L. Murken on Sunday
night appeared in yesterdays MORNING.
NEWS, was turned over to the superior
court yesterday on a charge of burglary.
From the police court Keene was
turned over to Deputy Sheriff Dunno and
warrant was sworn out against him in
Justice Elsinger's court charging him
Nth burglary. The warrant was turned
over to the superior court and keene was
sent to Jail
1t is charged that Keene broke into a
box which is the property Of L. Murken,
who lives at William and Farm streets,
and stole $500. From the evidence there
seems to be pretty good foundation for
the charge. The money was all recov-
cred and given back to Murken. and the
box which he had broken open was found
later where he had thrown il in the Ogee-
chez canal, together with all Of Murken's
papers, some of which were as valuable
to him, il not more so, than the money.
John Wade, who stole a small gold
watch from another negro while he was
asleep, or at least Wade thought him
asleep was also turned over to Deputy
Sheriff Dunno from the police court, and
a warrant was sworn out against him for
larceny from the person. The warrant
was turned over to the city court and
Wade was sent to jail to await trial Sat
urday.
Deputy Sheriff Dunno also turned over
Simon Jackson to the city court under a
warrant charging him with larceny from
the house. jackson is the negro who was
brought here Saturday night and turned
over TO the police for stealing groceries
from the storehouse of the Florida Cen
trail and Peninsular railroad.

A Colored Boatman Nearly Loses His
Life by Being Too Venturesome.
A negro was pulling boat across the
river last night, when he was struck by a
lighter towed by the tug Regis. The
boat was swamped, and its occupant
would have been drowned had he not
been pulled out Of the water by William
johnson, an employee of the lighterage
company, who was on the lighter at the

too venturesome and attempted to pass
under the bows of the Regis, and was
struck by the lighter which was alongside
of the tug.
The man was taken to the Central Rail
road slip, on board of the steamer, and
released, wiser but a wetter boatman.
He will hereafter wait until an approach
