GETS HIS REVENGE.
Defeated Candidate for Postmaster Ruins
the Offices business.

Chattanooga, Tenn, June 17.-(Special y
Late every evening a wagon, piled high with
sacks of mail, drives through the principal
streets of this city and stops at the post
office. A great deal Of attention has been
directed to it. and lately the facts in the
case have leaked out.
Several years ago the Chattanooga Mcdi-
cine Company moved from this city to st.
Elmo, a suburb at the foot of Lookout
mountain. The company advertises eXien-
sively, and has a well equipped rrii ting
office, which turns out hundreds IF thou
sands of almanacS and other advertising
matter every year. The company upon its
removal to st. Elmo began to throw its i'm
mense volume Of mail into the little IoSt-
office there, which Immediately advanced
from a fourth-class office to Il second ,;la SIS,
with a good salary attached.
That was under President Clevel1ndS first
term, and Il. c. Patten. a good emocrat,

But l.. w. Bates a prominent democratic
politician of St. Elmo, looked upon the
$500 salary with longing eyes, and an
nounced that the office had been hereditary
in the Patten family and the medicine COM
pany long enough so he sailed in to get
the postmastership. So did Il. G. patten.
The fight was long and bitter, but finally
Bates won. When his rivals appointment
was announced, Mr.. Patten said he'd fix
him. And he did. He withdrew every stamp
of the medicine company's mail tIom the
st. Elmo office and it is now hauled to the
city on a wagon, the distance being nearly
four miles. On account OF the withdrawal
of the medicine companyS mail, the re-
ceiptS of the st. Elmo office fell so that it
was reduced to the fourth-class again, and
Postmaster Bates only gets the 'alue OF
what few stamps he cancels. Mr.. Bates

The Cincinnati Enquirer has the following
to say with regard to the outlook Of the
reorganization of the roads in the south
that are to become the Southern Railways
property under the plans of the DreXel,
Morgan & Co. people,
1.-The sale al Richmond Va, last week of
the Richmond and Danville road makes
possible the proposed reorganization Of lines
in that territory under the name Of the
Southern Railway Company. The Georgia
Pacific will be included in the reOrganiZa-
ton and the great system Will extend
from the Mississippi river on the west and
the Ohio on the north to the further side
OF the Potomac. 1t may ultimately include
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia,
the Georgia and Central and the Cincinnati,
New Orleans and Texas Pacific, of the
Queen and Crescent system, or the whole
of the mileage originally embraced in the
combination known as the Richmond and
West Point Terminal Company. Under the
reorganization plan, $2,00O00O will be set
aside as an Improvement and development
fund.
"The thing that railroad arrangements
seek is traffic. Coal and iron are the great
sources to which this system must look
for profit and maintenance. The Penn
sylvania and Reading roads have developed
the Pennsylvania coal regions, the Chesa-
peake and Ohio has brought the coal fields
the Virginas to the front, and the Louis
vile and Nashville, together with the Queen
and Crescent, has been a great pioneer in
the south, and now this new southern rail-
way will become mighty factor in the
further development of the country through
which it will run. 1t will be Of incalculabie
benefit to Cincinnati and all other Ohio
river commercial centerS."
