Railroads Seeking Extension of

Railroads Seeking Extension of
Their Southern Trade.
Baltimore, Aug. 26.-Thomas NJ. King,
vice president of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, will start to-day on an Inspec-
ton trip over the Roanoke and Southern
and Cape Fear and YadlSin Valley railroad
lines.
Mr. King will be accompanied by Gen.
John Gill, receiver of the last named
roads and Col. John A. TomplNins, an ex-
pert accountant 1t Is said Mr.. Kings OBJ
iect in making the trip is to examine these
railroad properties for the purpose of de-
termining the practicability of
bringing those roads into a
close alliance with the Baltimore and
Ohio, thus giving that road access to a
large section south, and putting ii in
position to make further connections and
extensions in that section. The Valley
railroad of Virginia, which is part OF the
Baltimore and Ohio system, extends south
ward through the Shenandoah valley from
Harpers Ferry w. Va, to Lexington, Va,
about fifty miles from Roanoke, the nor
thern terminal of the Roanoke and South
ern Any project for extending the bus
mess of the Baltimore and Ohio south
ward over the Roanoke and Southern
would require the construction of rail-
road between Lexington and Roanoke.
frequently been urged, and the Baltimore
and Ohio has surveys for it, which were
made some time ago. Ii has been sta
ted that the extension of the Baltimore
and Ohio into the south was delayed
and prevented by the urgent necessity
of improving its trunk line route between
the east and the west, which included
the building of the Philadelphia branch,
with traffic arrangements over the Phil
adelphia and Reading TO New York, and
the securing of terminal facilities in New
York and Chicago. The Roanoke and
Southern is 1918 miles long and extends
south from Roanoke to Winston, n. G. 1t
is leased by the Norfolk and Wesern
Company.At Winston connection is made
with the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley
road which extends northward from
Wilmington, N. c., on the coast, to
Mount Airy, N c., rev miles south
OF the Virginia line. The main line Of
the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley rail-
road is 24S2S miles long. 1t has half
dozen branches, which give it total
mileage of 33S.6S miles.

A REMARKABLE WILL.
Made Public I'm n Sensational Man.
ner ut the Capital.

ner ut the Capital.
Washington, Aug. 2s.-What purports
to be the last viii Of the late Gen. Joseph
Holt OF Kentucky, who died over a year
ago. was made public to-day in a sensa-
tional manner. In the mail delivered to
the Office Of the register Of wills Saturday
We're two OF three envelopes which were
not opened until this morning by Col.
Wright, the register. Among them was
one addressed in crude letters, printed IN
ink, which, when opened, was found 10
contain a half sheet of foOlscap paper, the
left edge Of which was burned. but not
enough to make the writing illegible. Sew
eral small holes were burned in the sides
and center of the sheet but scarcely
word was eliminated. The text Of the
document was as follows:
Il do hereby devise and bequeath all
Of my property. both personal and real,
to Lizzie Hynes, cousin of mine, and to
Louise ThrockmortOn, who Is my god
child, and TO their heirs and assigns for
ever / do hereby direct that at my
death all Of my property be divided equally
between them.
Lizzie Hynes is to inherit hers at my
death; Josephine at the age of p. Her
father Maj. Charles b. Throckmorton,
will hold her share in trust. 1 appoint
Luke Devlin of Washington executor
(Signed and sealed in the presence Of
these witnesses at Washington, Feb. Z,
1873. J. Holt
Witnesses: Ellen B. E. Sherman, L.
S. Grant w. T. Sherman"
Not one word of explanation accom-
panied the will and the officials of the
registers Office were at a loss to account
for its appearance.
No one who is familiar with the hand
writing of Gen. Holt and with the sigma
lures Of Gems. Grant and Sherman doubts
the authenticity Of the document.
Gen. Holt was supposed to have died
intestate, and proceedings under that
suppostion were begun a year ago. On
the petition of Washington d. Holt, Will
liam G. Sterrett and John w. Holt, next
Of kin, an administrator was appointed
and he filed an inventory of the per-
sonal estate on Oct. 2. 1894, which footed
up Sl3O665. About $4,000 worth of realty
In this city also belongs TO the. estate.
Several days subsequent to the filing Of
the inventory some of the heirs Of the
deceased submitted to the register Of wills
an instrument purporting to be the will
of Gen. Holt and dated April IA, 1Sis. Up
on the outside of the sealed wrapped,
however. in the testators own hand were
the words:
This will has been wholly revoked. g.
j. Holt
The administrator was therefore direct
ed to proceed as though no will had
been offered or written. There was ac~
cordingly a distribution of $1,000 made at
that time among the next of kin.
This is the only distribution of funds
that has been made, and the administra-
tor will probably be directed to stay pro-
ceedings until something further is heard
from the unknown senders of the will.

NO ELECTION CALLED.
Exposition May Escape n Prohibition
Campaign.

Atlanta, Ca. Aug. 26.-The call for the
prohibition election. which the public was
given to understand would be formulated
at the meeting of Methodist ministers to-
day, did not materalize. The ministers
held their meeting at Trinity church, but
as their action last week in declaring that
they would call an election during the ex-
position was a threat against the city
council, there was nothing left for them
20 do but to pass on the other business.
Several of the ministers wanted to say
plainly that they had postponed action be-
cause council had listened to their pro-
tests. but DIR. Heidi, the leader. said it
was nobody's business why the call was
ministers endorse the councilmen who vo-
ted to kill the II o'clock law. but three of
the ten are reported to regret their action.
This resolution was also deferred.

NO INCREASE IN RATES.
Atlanta Hotels and boarding Houses
VIII Make Liberal Terms.


VIII Make Liberal Terms.
Atlanta, Ga. Aug, 26.-In regard to the
sensational reports sent out from At
lanta to the effect that boarding house
keepers have increased their rates, Mr.
Alex w. Smith, chief of the department of
public comfort, makes the official state
ment that rates at the regular hotels will
be from 81 to 50 per day. European plan,
and from 81 to S. per day, American plan.
In the lodging and boarding houses, rates
will be so cents to $3.50 for lodging and
from 81 to $3.50 a day for lodging and
board. Weekly and monthly engagements
can be made at the usual reductions.
No reasonable person can complain of
these rates and any criticism of the people
of Atlanta on the plea of unreasonable or
eXorbitant charges is entirely unfounded
and exceedingly unjust.

decent Proposals

Fred Burg, an attache of Lamson's
photograph gallery, has had narrow es.
cape from trouble of serious nature.
Last Wednesday he called at the house
of family on Flower street and endeav.
ored to secure patrons for his establish.
ment. One of the younger daughters Of
the family answered his ring at the bell,
and Bulg. who IS somewbat OF Don
Juan in his own estimation. fancied that
she was smitten with some OF his numer-
Gus charms. In order to reciprocate he
offered to.take her photo free of charge,
and he would not allow her to refuse.
The next day Burg appeared again ON
the domestic horizon and was arrayed in
a very fetching attire. which he presumed
would make his conquest complete. On
this visit he became Indiscreet, and he
ventured to make an improper proposal
to the young lady. She informed her
parents of this and visit to the police
office was the next number on the pro-
gramme.
Burg was arrested on Saturday and yes
terday morning appeared before Judge
Morrison to answer to charge OF dis
turbing the peace. The complainants in
the case. however. refused to prosecute,
as they did not wish to become known.
Burg listened to q homily from the
justice on the subject of his lecherous
conduct and was dismissed, promising to
'neyer sin again."

THE Y. W. c. A. MEETING
A Business Meeting Of the Bosrd OF MAN.

n business meeting OF the boero u ms"-
ayers
The last meeting of the board OF mana
gers of the y. W. G. A. was held Thurs
day, June 9th, week earlier than the
regular monthly meeting, prior to the de-
parture OF the president. Mrs. q. ID.
Mathuss. and the general secretary. Miss
Clara Yale Morse, Mrs. Mathuss going to
the mountains for q month and MISS
Morse journeying east to attend the sum-
mer school and international council OF
associated workers. 1t is hoped that Miss
Morse attendance upon these gatherings
may be the means OF not only bringing
an added inspiration to our loca! work.
but that she may secure from the interna-
tional committee definite plan for a
conference in our midst next year, as
Southern California greatly needs the i'm
petus of such school OF methods in asso-
citation Work.
There were present at the meeting
Mines. Mathuss, Marble, Landt. Fergu-
son. Clute, Sweet, johnson. Burks. Ross,
Drs. Bullard and Mouy, Misses Healy,
Hull, Keyser. Thompson, Haynes, Den,
non. Bristol. Warren, Bates, Morse and
latham.
A large amount of business was trans
acted. as the constitution does not call for
q regular meeting in August.
Tho financial report showed healthy
growth along various lines, but the con-
dition of the treasury brought before the
committee the necessity for retrenchment
rather than the opportunity for the de-
velopment Of the larger work pressing
upon the workers. The crowded condi-
tion Of the, association rooms, and espe-
cially of the lunch department where
many whose noon hour is very brief are
kept waiting make it imperative that
larger quarters be secured before the
opening of the fall work. To this END
tho rooms committee reported the ap-
pointment Of an investig atlng committee,
tnat the board might be thoroughly post.
God will open the eyes Of some OF His
children to whom He has entrusted much
of this worlds goods to the necessities OF
this work.
The entertainment committee reported
the reception by the board of managers
and committees u pronounced success,
some sixty-five responding to the invita-
tion.
The desirability OF a summer home at
the beach has been before the board oi
managers for some time. but it was not
deemed practicable to inaugurate such a
step at the present time.
The work of the branch Y. W. G. A. al
the Lafayette school build ng has
been SO successful that the committee has
ings pcr week during the summer, Tues
days and Thursdays being chosen. The
work Of Miss A. l.. Murphy at the branch,
not only as director in physical culture
but in many other ways, has been greatly
appreciated, the entertainment arranged
by her at the close of the term being oi
a high order.
The religious work committee reported
the following mem bers to be response bic
for the gospel meetings.: July. Mrs.
Louise Potts; August. Mrs. E. NJ. Grow
September, Miss Brookman; October,
Miss Peck.
The general secretary's report showed
total mem berships, 692; average daily
attendance at the noon Test, 1874 average
attendance at gospel meetings. 81.
