vANDERslLT's IN CONTROL
Uniting with RothsehiIds and NJ organs for
Southern Railroad Extcnsion.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Sept, 8.-From a
thoroughly reliable source Tho Times is
Informed that the underwriters, as they
may be termed, of the reorganization
scheme of the Richmond and West Point
Terminal and the East Tennessee, Vtr-
ginia and Georgia Railroad company, are
none other than the Rotlschilds, of Lon
don and Paris, and the Vanderbilts. Of
New York-Cornelius and William X.
The reorganization, as is we'll known,
was undertaken and successfully consum-
mated by Drexel, Morgan & Co, of Lon
don. These two great banking houses in
terested their richest clents-the Roths-
childs and vanderbiits. The syndicate
really is very small in numbers, for 1t is
divided into four portions. but is colossal
In wealth, representing the greatest ag-
gregation of capital In the world-more
than half billion dollars.
The Rothschllds have one quarter, the
Vanderbilts one quarter, Drekel, Morgan
e. Co. one quarter and j. S. Morgan d.
Co. a quarter. The reorganization plan
provided for $50, 900 600 Of new capital and
1t is this sum that the quartet has agreed
to supply and more If essary. The
money Is to be used in heavier rails, new
bridges, new equipment, terminals, ex-
tensions etc. The first annual meeting
of stockholders is to be held in Richmond,
Va, Tuesday, Oct. ., and bonds to the
amount of s1a0 900. 600 on the entire prop
esty will be authorized.
There is now very little doubt that the
southern railway project is simply an ex-
tension of the Vanderbilt system into and
through the south. The Chesapeake and
Ohio will no doubt become part of the
System within short time, and the Queen
and Crescent system Will ultimately be-
come part of ii.

THE BIRDS HAVE TOLD

The birds. my love, have heard 1t;
They sang it out today
The Joy we thought secret
And meant to keep alway.
The roses blushed in hearing,
1t was so sweet song,
And bresthed out all their fragrance
To watt the sound along,
The noisy brook went bnbbling
This song the livelong day,
Through shadow and through sunshine,
Afar on winding way.
The trees bent low to listen
Through all their leafy shade,
Then far they flung the music
On winds the boughs had made.
In earth and air and heaven,
And in my own glad heart
This rapturous strain IS ringing
We two shall never part

The Reinn aims of Seven Persons Taken to
Iiinckley Yesterday.


PINE CITY, Mimi, Sept, 6.-'rhe death
roll at Hinckley is growing, but slowly.
Yesterday the remains Of three bodies
were brought in from the eastern county
road. One was a man. OF the other two
there was left but u hand and a leg. The
hand was that Of child, but the leg was
that of boy. Later in the forenoon the
bodies of Mr.. Lowell and his family, four
altogether, were recovered. They lived
about two miles north of the town.
Searching parties are out In all directions,
but their orders are to bury the dead
where they lie. The seven bodies brought
in bring the total number in Hinckley up
to 22l, aud in the vicinity Of Hinckley to
upwards of 230.
As yet it has been impossible to ap-
proach the mill pond. The heap of sawed
wood and landings which mark its bank
are still sending up dense clouds of blind
ing smoke, rendering it impossible for a
man to get near the water. 1t has been
decided to draw Off the water, as it is now
supposed that there are many bodies in
the pond. At Pine City tine work Of re-
lief is running smoothly.
