Uniting with Rothgohiids and NJ Organs for
Southern Railroad Extension.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Sept 6.-From a
thoroughly reliable source The 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, Vir-
ginia and Georgia Railroad company, are
none other than the Rothschilds, Of Lon
don and Paris, and the Vanderbilts, Of
New York-Cornelius and William X.
The reorganization, as is well known,
was undertaken and successfully consum-
mated by Drexel, Morgan & Co.. of Lon
don. These two great banking houses in
terested their richest clients-the Roths-
childs and Vanderbilts. 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 Rothschilds have one quarter, the
Vanderbilts one quarter, Drexel, Morgan
& Co. one quarter and J. S. Morgan 81
Co. a quarter. The reorganization plan
provided for $50, ,OOO 600 Of new capital and
it is this sum that the quartet has agreed
TO supply and more If neces sary. 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. 2, and bonds to the
amount of Sl20, 600. 900 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 n mart of the
system within a short time, and the Queen
and Crescent system will ultimately be-
come part of it.

THREE murderers Of women are under
sentence to be hanged in New Jersey on
Thursday next For the good of the COM
monwealth and the upholding Of the law,
it is TO be earnestly desired that the execu-
tions shall take place as decreed, without
any further Juggling with appeals and
stays New Jersey has been singularly
unfortunate in respect Of crimes of vio-
lence against women. Several dark mys-
teries stand yet unsolved on her police
records. 1t is, therefore, especially desir-
able that in the cases where guilty men
are caught and duly convicted the law
shall be enforced and its penalties admin
istered with all possible promptness and
certainty. This is the only way in which
there is any hope of establishing such a
respect for the law of the state as will
tend to keep men from the commission of
bloody crimes.

Hinckley Yesterday.
PINE CITY MINI, Sept 6.-The death
roll at Hinckley is growing but slowly.

were brought in from the eastern county
road. One was a man. OF the other two
there was left but a hand and leg. The
hand was that of a child, but the leg was
that of a 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, and in the vicinity of Hinckley tc
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 q
man to get near the water 1t has beer
decided to draw off the water, as it is now
supposed that there are many bodies il
the pond At Pine City the work of re
lief is running smoothly.

again enveloped in smoke the fires in the
forests having started afresh. A party Of

Is some distance from settlements.

COUPON POSTAGE STAMPS.

A thoroughly interesting and novel
proposition was unfolded to the mem,
bers of the house postodicc committee
tee by ex-Representatiye HemphiH of
South Carolina, who appeared in behalf
of a bill to further extend the use of
the mail service, says the Washington
Post Mr. HempEill presented to the
committee a number Of specimen en-
velopes and postal cards with coupons
attached BY means of these coupons
any person desiring TO send an order
TO a grocery or mercantile house, f1l'
instance, can drop the letter or til
card In the letter box or posrodice
without the prepayment Of postage,
the latter being paid by the firm to
which the order is sent The advice Is
owned by the United States Economic
Postage association, which proposes
to give bonds for 100000 for redemp-
ton in cash Of the coupons when pre-
scented by the postmaster at the Office
Of delivery. At present firms and pub
fishers who solicit trade send out
thousands Of stamped circulars and
postal cards with their name printed
on them, in the hope Of receiving an
order In return. It is estimated that
only aho4t 10 per cent of these arc
returned. In many cases persons re-
ceiying them cross out the name Of the
firm and use the stamped envelope or
postal card for private purposes.

SURCHARGED STAMPS.

A circular has been issued from the
British colonial office concerning the
practice If using "surcharged postage
stamps and The difficulties the post
offices have with stamp collectors and
dealers says the New York sun
Wholesale stamp dealers have agents
all over the world When they hear
there is a limited stock of stamps Of
a particular value in some outlying
place, they buy up the stock and ask
for more The colonial officials, %
avoid the delay Of sending home TOT
fresh supplies, print on stamps Of dlI'
ferent values the figures Representing
the price Of those desired. Such !
stamp is a "Surcharged' one, and Is
sought for eagerly by collectors. -
the dealers buy them all also. some
dealers keep small sums deposited o..
over with local postmasters. with 'D
suuctions to forward the value Of an,
surcharged stamps whenever issueL
Stamp collection, however, adds coz
siderable revenue to the various c0i-
onies. The republic Of Liberia de
ponds largely on receipts from postass
stamps which it has beautifully en-
graved IN London, mostly for the pun,
pose Of selling to collectors. 1t IS salo
that Liberia, being unable to give as!
money to the delegate Of the Chica-V
exhibition, gave a large supply OF pc
age stamps For every stamp used y
the Cook Islands, probably coupe y.
hundred are sold abroad Enough /.

THE LATEST DRESS REFORM.
Women Of Livingston Manor, y. Y, &c
Wear Cheap Gowns for Year.


Wear Cheap Gowns for Year.
A new dress reform scheme has
come to light that viii be more heart
lily endorsed by the men than any Of
the heretofore advertised systems.
The new plan comes from Livingston
Manor, a small town near Middletown,
~ Y, where fifteen maids aud maTons
recently met in solemn conclave and
after accusing themselves of heartless
ness and extravaganza and vanity,
drew up and adopted the following
resolutions;
1--WE, the undersigned ladies Of Liy-
ingston Manor, desiring by our eX-
ample 10 promote economy and 10 dis
cOuntenance extravaganza and thereby
tighten in some measure the burdens
Of our husbands and fathers by pru-
dent retrenchment in our household
expenses, therefore pledge our word
of honor, each to the other, that we
will not during the period of one year
from April l, 1894, purchase any ma
terial for wearing apparel, the cost of
which shall exceed - cents per yard.
And we further promise 10 OBJ
serve a strict economy in all our house
hold matters, and cheerfully add by
those delicate sacrifices to the general
stock of home comforts too often dis
pensed with for the frivolous outside
adornment Of the body alone"
So far, however, the men have only
laughed al the scheme and point ont
that rather obvious fact that it is far
easier to agree TO wear 25-cent-a-yard
gowns in summer than in the winter,
and they predict, although the ladies
deny it most Indignantly, that next
winter will find the economists revel-
ing in tailor-made frocks as hereto
fore. About half the women of the
place have become so interested in
