eral manager Of the following roads: Pitts
burg, Cincinnati and st. Louis; Column
bus, Chicago and Indiana Central; Little
Miami, Cincinnati and Muskingum Val

the Vandalia lines
He was next made general manager Of
all the Pennsylvania lines west Of Pitts
burg, then was from 1889 to 1887 vice
president of the Nickel Plate, being In the
last two years receiver for the line, and
on Oct. 1, 1887, he was made president of
the road. In this position his policy was
at first a good deal Of a puzzle, as, con-
trary to his previous rule, he cut rates to
a Scartling extent. 1t was soon taken for
granted, however, that this was done at
the dictation Of the Vanderbilts as the
only way OF making the line pay. This
year the executive board Of the Vanderbilt
lines made Mr.. Caldwell general manager
OF the Lake Shore to succeed the late John
Newell, and when the board of directors
met he was made president. So the two
ofnces are TO remain in one person, as be-
fore, and it is assumed that the cutting of
Iates on the Nickel Plate will cease.

Ransom is >

Washington, D. c.. Aug, "a,
Hon. M. w, Ransom arrived in
the city this morning from Blow
ing Rock. He telegraphed here
last night contradicting the
statement that he had been to
Gray Gables and had been re-
fused a conference by the Presi-
dent. He said he did not fail to
see the president. Mr.. Ransom
visited the State Department
this morning and had a confer
ence with acting Secretary Adee.
He did not wish to discuss the
question of his reappointment
and was reticent about matters
pertaining to Mexico affairs. He
still seems confident that the
matter will be arranged salts
factorily.
While Mr.. Ransom decided to
discuss the probabilities of his re-
appointment as Minister, his
friends express the utmost conf
dent that the place will again be
rendered him. It is understood
among them that SecretaryOlney
is interested in his case.
Mr.. Ransom takes no except

that he had cast reflections upon
Mexican officials in connection
with the subject of the extradi-

re-appointment, and again took
occasion to deny this report il
the most emphatic terms.

The Child Character.

The first character Of right
childhood is that it is modest. A
well-bred child does not think it
can teach it's parents, or that it
knows everything. 1t may think
that it's father and mother know
neutrality-suspicious. that all
grown-up people know every
thing; very certainly it is sure
that it does not. And it is always
asking questions, and wanting to
know more,
A second character of right
childhood is to be faithful. Per
ceiving that it's father knows
best what is good for it, a noble
child trusts him wholly, gives
him it's hand. and will walk
blindfolded with him if he bids
it.
Putting it's trust in it's father,
it is careful for nothing, being
full of love to every creature, it
is happy always, whether in its
play or it's duty.
So then, you haye the child's
character in these four things
humility, faith, charity an6
cheerfulneSS.-EX.

King, vice president of the Bal

It is said that Mr.. Kings OBJ

the practicability of bringing
them into a close alliance with

giving that road access to a
Large section of the South and

Require the construction Of a

The building of such connec-

Meacham's Habeas Corpus Case.
j.. r. H.

To-day at 1890 o'clock in the
county court house Mr.. A. J.
Marshall, counsel for Mr.. j. W
Meachan, who has been in Jail
since last Friday morning, hav-
ing been at that time surrender>
ed by his bondsmen in the S. H.
F'ishblate libel suit, appeared be-
fore his Honor Judge Meares in
a habeas corpus suit, and asked
that Meacham's bond be reduced.
There were about twenty per-
sons in the court room at the
time deputy sheriff King shouted
silence in court, and formal pro-
ceedings began.
AS soon as MI Marshall had
stated his case and asked that
the excessive bail of 81, OOO for
a simple case of misdemeanor be
reduced, Marsden Bellamy, Esq,
representing Fishblate, arose
and said that he as the represent
ative of the prosecution would in
terpose no objection to a reduc-
ton of the bond. His Honor then
fixed the bond at $500. being just
one half of what it formerly was.
Mr.. Marshall said in asking fol
a reduction of the bond, that
Meacham was in wise responsible
for the article which appeared il
the paper, for which he is under
Indictment, that he was only {
paid hireling of the DISPATCH
Company, and that the company
would have to shoulder the re
sponsibility, as they alone had the
management of the paper.
