New York, Feb. lit is understood
that the Northern Pacific railroad Is
making arrangements for the sale OF
the Northern Pacific Express company,
of whose $4,000 capital stock the road
owns $342, 500, the remainder being held
by the directors. The Northern Pacific
Express company operates over the
branch lines of the railroad. while tn
American Express company has the
rights of the main line. Negotiations
are said to have been pending with sew
eral express companies, but of course
nothing definite will be concluded with

likely that the American Express COM
pany will acquire control of the smaller
concern in viewof the formers standing
on the main line of the railroad.

HUNTSVILLE.
Citizens Determined That the College Shall
 Be Rebuilt.

Huntsville, April 26.-(Special Corre- spondence. .)-Pursuant to notice in the city papers there was a gathering of cit izens at the court house last night to de- wise means for rebuilding the Huntsville Female college.
 MT. William Rison said that he had some knowledge of the financial condi- tion of President A. B. Jones. He knew that he was not, within himself, able to rebuild the college. The advantage of the college to Huntsville was easily com puted. It brought not less than $40,000 in clean cash to our city every year This was distributed in way to benefit near ly everyone. Dr. Jones desired to remain here if possible. He hoped, with good reason, in a short while to have 150 board CTS in the event he could erect modern building, as it was his purpose to do; a fire proof building, heated with steam with all the latest appurtenances and conveniences. MT. Rison Suggested that subscriptions might be made under three heads, as follows:
 l. Cash. g. Cash or bonds. 8. Bonds of size not less than $100 nor greater than $500
 It would require s3O,OOO or $35, ,OOO to re- build and start the college. The citizens of Huntsville must put in from S20,000 to $25, 900 in bonus and bonds, in order to put the measure through to a success.
 Upon motion Messrs. H. J. Lowenthal, J. D. Humphrey and W. R. Rison were appointed a committee to solicit Subscrip- tions, and MT. Rison's plan of subscrip- tions was adopted, the bonds to be per cent bonds, with privilege of redemption at 75 cents. It was, of course, expected that Dr. Jones would take some bonds as a reasonable valuation on his property.
 In a few minutes bonus of $1500 and bonds to the amount of $5000 were sub scribed. The meeting then adjourned until Monday.
