Long Talked of Passenger Agreement En-
tered Into at Last

Chicago, Jan. 2f.-The western and
transcontinental lines that since No
Vemher &c have been working to reach
an agreement on passeger traffic have
finally succeeded. The agreement is
now in effect and the general meeting
has adjourned sine die.
The new organization which takes the
place of the Western Passen ger associa-
ton has been christened the Western
Trunk Line committee. 1t is under the
charge of II. 3. Caldwell. formerly at
the head Of the passenger association
The committee now includes twenty
six lines and there are several Others
notably the Wabash. Denver and Rio
Grande. Rio Cirande Western and
Union Pacific which have not as Vet
signed the agreement. 1t is believed
that all these lines viii come in. no
doubt concerning any of them except
the Union Pacific being felt. 1t makes
40 difference, however whether none
or all of these lines join the committee.
The committee Will go on lust the same
The agreement Will be submitted TO the
Union Pacific as soon as possible and a
strong effort VIII be made to induce il
10 join the committee. If Il remains
on the outside ana provokes trouble
the other lines viii promptly combine
against it and give ii the worst fight
any road ever endured. The commit
it includes in its membership all the
tranScontinetal lines.
1t had been intended up to this morn
ing to make the agreement provisional
only, IL TO be made permanent when
the intentions of the Union Pacific
were fully understood. After the meet
ing was in session, however. IL was de-
termined that there was no further
pecesSity OF waiting 10 see what the
Union Pacific would do and il was de-
cided 10 make the organization per-
maneHt. The agreement which Is one
of the most elastic entered upon by the
western roads, covers all territory be-
tween Chicago and the Pacific ocean
and from the line OF the Canadian
Pacific to the southern boundry of the
United States. IL provides for the alb
solute maintenance of rates on the
basis to which they VIII be advanced

and any road will be allowed 10 take

Farmer Henryer Meant Well, but He
Didn't Deserve . Good Wife.
Old Ripley Henryer is well to do farm
er with skinfiint tendencies whose life
has been passed without an emotion ex-
sept what may have been engendered in
getting monsy together and holding fast

When his father died quarter of GEN.
fury ago, his mother concluded she could
not get along without him, so she quickly
followed the same way, and Ripley. COM
ing into possession of the homestead, felt
the necessity for a good cook and washer
woman. Then he prevailed upon Hetty
Mercer, an affectionate and pretty girl OF
the neighbcrhood, to assume those duties,
6rst making her his wife.
It is possible he said nothing to her Of
the obligations attendant upon the wifely
relations, but that made no difference as
to results. Ripley was strong as an OK,
and, hard worker himself, he had no use
for lazy people and no excuses for those
who were weaker than himself.
As time passed little Henryers, one,
two, three, five in all. came into the fam
lily fold, each ons adding to the wife's
cares, and meantime Ripley added to his
acres.
The number Of hired men increased, but
In all the years it never occurred 70 him
that the mother of his children might need
help in her department. Hired girls were
scarce and awful high" as he put il
when one of the neighbors reminded him
Of his remissness.
Hetty bore her yoke in silence and
might have been contented even but for
the mans utter lack of sentiment or afec-
ton. She had never felt the gentle pres
sure Of his hand in soft caress, and he had
never kissed her in his life. She grew old
fast, faded and dropped, and finally even
the stolid, sordid husband saw the nsces.
sity of calling in a doctor.
When the latter was leaving the house.
he called Ripley aside and said:
Suppose you show your wife a littls
kindness. think bit Of affection will
do her more good than medicine. She's
In bad way and may die.
The selfish fellow was frightened at the
prospect of losing his cook and faithful
housekeeper, and after some deiiberation
he entered her bedchainber and awkward
ly approached her side, then stopped over
and kissed her pale, cold brow.
The poor woman, who for 20 years had
been dying for sympathy and love, was
SO startled at this exhibition Of feeling on
the part of her husband that tears OF
thankfulness gathered in her eyes and then
rolled down her cheeks.
The lubberly fellow started back at
sight Of this evidence Of weakness and
blurted out:
GOSH Hetty, you needn't mind 1t. !
didn't mean nothing by IL. Doc, he said
it mebhe'd make you feel better"
Then the tears dried quickly enough,
and the woman turned her pallid face to-
ward the wall.
When Ripley came back an hour later,
all the kisses in the world could not have
brought moisture to her eyes. The Office
of cook and laundress was vacant in his
house.-Chicago Tribune.

TRAINS ABOUT ON TINE.
Storms in California Subside After Doing
Immense Damage.

Immense Damage.
San Francisco, Jan. 2i.-The storm
has subsidized in the mountains and
the mail and express through trains
are now running on all the roads eX-
cept the Oregon division. The Central
Pacific road to Ogden is open and all
regular trains are running close to
schedule time. The Oregon division,
however, is in a bad shape.
The work train which left Oakland
tonight with 100 shovelers to clear the
snowslide near Dunsmuir, was started
in at ten miles below Kent. Then the
track was covered with mud fifteen
feet deep in places and it took all night
to clear it away. This morning men
got through the slide and ii is expected
that the track will soon be entirely
cleared Yesterdays south-bound
Oregon express is stalled at Delta,
where another mud slide covered the
track. The few passengers on the train
are being cared for by the railroad
people. All the damage along the
roads in the southern part of the state
has been repaired and all trains are
running on time. In many parts of
the state local train service will not be
resumed for ten days.
In Sonoma county the storm was the
most damaging in thirty years. Bridges
were swept away and roads so washed
out as to be impossible. Waters are
flowing over the streets of GuernVille
and residents can move about only in
boats. A number of houses have been
overturned by landslides and swept
away by floods. Losses of household
belongings, provisions. lumber and
farm implements are large and many
head OF cattle have been drowned.
a Guernville family had a narrow
escape from destruction. They saw a
landslide approaching and rushed for
safety to the barn. Before they were
well out of the house, the structure was
struck by the slide and crushed to
pieces. The next moment the ruins Of
the house slide into the Russian river

The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1895-01-07

thereof His presentation OF the case Is
accordingly forceful and convincing.
A local newspaper, the other day,
called attention to the fact that Mount
Hope bay was " filling mp" an ingenu-
Gus but hardly tenable conception OF
the difficulty which vessels now have In
passing up that water way. Mount Hope
bay is, of course, not filling up, but
the ships profitably engaged in trade
today are simply larger and deeper than
they We're quarter century ago, ana
larger and deeper harbors, with better
facilities, must accordingly be provided
by those communities which hope TO
compete for commerce. So, our har-
Dor, good enough and big enough at one
time, has lost its trade largely because
it is not good enough and big
enough TO accommodate the trade OF our
time. So the work now going on Is
designed to afford an increased anchor
age and in connection with this 1t is evi-
denily imperative that we should have
increased facilities for handling the
cargoes.
To obtain the desired result, COM
prehensive construction is best secured
by providing for system of wharf and
dock accommodations under the direc-
tion and to be permanently in the charge
of the municipal government. And not
only would such ownership be source
Of revenue to the city but II
would distinctly contribute to the
interests of the business of the city, to
our industries and our people, by de-
velopng the neglected commercial
resources which our fine waterway
affords. With sufficient railroad facili-
ties, as the Mayor points out, the i'm
provement OF our harbor and docks
would tend TO again make Providence a
chief shipping port for New England.
With this in view the Mayor recon-
mends that the city secure from the
State the title to the tide-fowed lands
between the city wharf and Sassafras
Point and then proceed to carry out a
we'll considered plan for permanent inn
provement by building wharfs and docks
under control of the municipality that
shall command commerce. The Mayor
can refer to many cities in
this country and abroad where invest
ment made in such harbor Improvement
has paid for itself in direct revenue
aside from the obvious advantage to the
city and the investment by the city Of
Providence is thus recommended witha
confidence that is amply justified.
