DR.. Salmon, Chief Of the Bureau Of
Animal Industry in the Agricultural
Department, said recently that there
had not been any pleuro-pneumonia
among cattle in the UGitel States for
more than two years, but that tuber-
culosis is to be found everywhere more
or less. "It is not confined to any
one locIlity," said DR.. Salmon, "nor
is there IN unusual prevalence of tho
disease. 1t has existed from time i'm

stables than among those in pasture

Women are commencing to take the
place of men rs buyers and drummers
for large drygoods houses, moro par
ticulnrly in the West, states the New
York Witness. One reason given for
this change is that the habits of women
are more reliable than those Of men.
Another reason assigned for tho pref
erence Of women to men in these cases
is that the former have better taste in
whatever pertains to apparel, especi-
ally feminine dress.

The beet-sugar crop Of 1898 was
anufactured at seven factories, tho
largest being in California, and others
in Nebraska, Utah and Virginia, tho
latter only recently established and
with q production for the past year Of
only eighteen tons. The amount of
capital invested in tho seven factories
is about 5000, ,0o). Tributary to
these factories, under cultivation in
bcets are about 20,0 acres Of land,
the best of the California farms being
rated at 5000 an aore The average
yield Of the lands was ten tons Of beets
to the acre, for which the farmers re-
ceived, delivered at the factories, an
average of $50 per ton. Apparently
this is profitable crop; bat not only
is fertile soil required, bnt high for
tilization, aud great deal Of hand
culture; so that, on tho whole, the
crop is seldom heavy enough to be
profitable except on fertile land which
is too valuable for ordinary crops
These requirem nnts, an the fact that
sugar beet cultivation must be in the
lins Of scientific farming, ii satisfac.

Ne Vas From North Carolina and Was Soon
to Have Been Morr;5d.
Aspecial from Darlington,S s.. O., says:
An attrocious murder WAS committed
at Vaudeville, station on the Charles
ton, Sumter & Northern road, 10 miles
from Darlington. The body of j. p.
Alderman, depot and express agent at
Vaudeville, was found lying on the
track with his skull crushed in and
badly mutilated. Mr.. Alderman was
seen the night before at 10 o'clock,
and when his body was found he had
on n different suit from the one he was
last seen in. The theory is that he
heard robbers breaking in the depot
and they murdered him when he came
out. The depot doors were broken
but nothing was missing except
dead man'u wstch.
There is no clue to indicai
committed the murder except
that darkey was arrested at G
who said he was buying
tridges because the sheriff was after
him. Mr.. Alderman was reliable
business man, highly esteemed by his
employers. He was from North Caro-
lima, wes 30 years of age Gud WAS to
have been married next month.

THE CAREER or SAMUEL SPENCER.
President Of the Southern railroad Company,
Which Has Succeeded tho Richmond and
lanYiNA.

RICHMOND, VA.-The organization
of the Southern Railway Company,
the successor of the Richmond and
Danville Railroad Company, wa,
effected. The incorporators constituted
Messrs. Spencer, Cox, Andrews, Stet
son and Even to be directors and
Samuel Spencer to be president of the
new company.
The Southern Railway Company as
sumes the leases of the Atlanta and
Charlotte Air Line, Western North
Carolina Railroad, Washington, Ohio
and Western Railway, Piedmont Rail
road, North Carolina Railroad. Under
the plan of reorganization of the cotti-
panies embraced In the old Richmond
Terminal system other lines will be
brought in later rs the several legal
formalities are carried out.
The officers of the new company are:
Samuel Spencer, president; A. b. An
drews, second vice president; W. II.
Baldwin, Jr., third vice president;
Francis Lynde Stetson, general coun-
sci; w. A. G. Even, secretary; John
w. Hall, treasurer; George S. Hobbs,
auditor. 1t is also understood that
Capt. Green will be continued as gen
cral manager and Mr.. Sol Haas as gen
eral traffic manager. Indeed, it is be-
lieved there will be no material change
in the personnel oil the company.
Samuel Spencer, who was elected
president of the Southern Railroad
Company, is native of Columbus,
Ga. Ho was graduate of the
University of Virginia. He com
menced his railroading In 1869, when
he became rodman on an engineering
corps on Southern railroad. He af,
trrwards entered the Baltimore and
Ohio Offices as assistant to the superin-
tendent of trains, and was shortly ad-
vanced to tho latter position himself.
Later he became third vice president
of the Baltimore and Ohio, and steadi.
ly rose from that Office Until he was
made first vice president and finally
president of the road. He left the
presidency of the Baltimore and Ohio
Road to become a partner of the firm
Of Drexel, Morgan ~ Co.
THE vANDERBfLrs IN tr.
The fact that Drexel, Morgan & Co. =,
by whom the reorganization was con-
ducted, represent the Vanderbilts, who
own large interests in the Chesapeake O
and Ohio, gives rise to the belief that
this system and the Danville will be
conducted on very friendly terms. 1t
is believed that much of the Danyille's
business will hereafter go to Newport
News for shipment by that company's
steamers. This idea is borne out by a
visit paid to Newport News by several
of the reorganization people.

MARRIED WHEN THEY NET.
Couple Tint Had Never Seen Each
Other Before Welded mt ST. Louis.

ST. LOUIS. Nov. IA very romantic af-
fair. which only became public last night,
was the marriage, in the new Union Sta
ton, Of two young people, who. until the
time Of their meeting. just before the we'd
ding ceremony was performed, had never
before met. The young people were George
W.. Malone, of this city, and Mrs. Sadie
Hamel. OF St. Joseph, Mo. When the Bur-
lington train from the West rolled into the
station about 8 o'clock Sunday morning
a handsome woman, attired in a neat. dark
travelling costume, stepped out of one of
the coaches and walked up the platform
to the gates. She had scarcely passed
through when a gentleman attired in a
Prince Albert coat and dark-gray trousers
stepped forward and addressed her. She
looked at him a moment while a pretty
blush tinged her handsome face, and then
put out her neatly-gloved hand, which he
took and failed to release, tucking it under
his arm as they walked away together to
the ladies'. waiting room. There was a
walked into the private parlor of the ladies'
waiting room. On reaching the parlor they
were met by r. l.. Malone, father of the
Frazer, of the Union Station. who had Sc
cured the privilege of using the parlor for
the bridal couple; the deputy recorder of
deeds, with n marriage license, and the
Rev. H. n. Spier, of Gods church. The
bride-to-be was introduced to her relatives
elect, and a few moments later announced
that she was ready for the ceremony.
While the hoarse blowing of the locomo-
tive and changing of engine bells disturbed
the air, the solemn words which made the
twain one We're impressively uttered by
the minister. At the conclusion of the GER
emony the bride and groom received the
congratulations of those present, and after
wards were driven to the home of the
groom. OF Twenty-first street, where a
wedding breakfast was served.
This union is the happy elimination Of a
romance. The bride and groom had never
met until a few minutes before they Were
married. The bride was an intimate friend
of some relations of the groom, and both
had frequently been mentioned to the 9TH
er. A correspondence was thus begun.
Both were mutually pleased, photographs
were exchanged and the marriage was pro-
posed and the proposal accepted. The
bride Is well known in st. Joseph, where
she has resided for many years, and has
a large circle of friends and acquaintance
while the groom is equally well known in

they bid for 1t, sellers withdrew until after

Trading in oats was confined entirely to

cereals, and kept within a narrow range
during the entire session. May sold from

closed. Receipts of hogs were 5000 less
than yesterdays estimates, and prices for
them as reported from the yards were
from &c to 10c higher, which started the
provision market at an advance. The prices

Your correspondent does not indorse the

claims TO be an expression of the sentiments
of Republicans of the Fourteenth ward con-
corning the appointment of Mr.. Dynes as

Why call n meeting without notifying the
friends OF Mr.. Dynes that they might have
an equal han In expressing the feelings
of the party on this subject? If some of
Mr.. Dynes's personal enemies wished TO OBJ

been better expressed outside of the public

of the party a chance to use IL against
