the firm name of Bradford & Stephens.
In 1862 the firm removed to Third and

floor of the building in which was
located the publishing Office of Francis

1856 the firm erected the building now
occupied by the Western Union Tele-
graph Co. Two years later Mr. Stephens
retired on account of ill health and
Mr.. Bradford continued the business.
In 1864 he erected the iron four story
building, Nos. 6, and 10 East Third

was chartered and organized in 1887.
Mr.. Bradford was president, Horace

State Legislature At the time of his
death he was director of the Farmers
Bank.
Some years ago Mr.. Bradford became
a member of the Catholic Church. He
was twice married. His first wife was
Catharine Keenan, and their marriage
took place in 1915. She died in 1890.
As result of this union there were
six children. Two daughters died in
infancy and the Rev. George S. Brad
ford, one of the sons, died last summer.
The surviving sons are Notary Public

A POOL IN SOUTHERN TRAFFIC..
The Railroads Now Considering the
Matter.


New York, Jan. 2O.-The Mail and Elk
press this afternoon prints the following
ut is learned on the highest authority to-
day that the lines comprising the South
ern States Freight Association are prize
pairing a plan whereby it is proposed to
pool the traffic to and from southern points
within the Jurisdiction of that organi2a-
ton. Steps to that end have been already
taken and the special committee from that
association, which was in session in this
city the latter part of last week, discussed
various means and prepared a basis on
which il is proposed to divide tha bust
ness. This committee was headed by Com
missioner Haines of the Southern States
Freight Association, and among the other
Finley of the Southern, General Manager
Scott of the Georgia railroad, Vice Pres
dent Erwin of the Plant system, and
Traffic Manager Emerson of the Atlantic
Coast Line. This committee held a final
meeting Saturday morning at No. "a Park
Place, and they will meet soon again to
make their reports as TO the acceptance Of
the plan proposed.
THE present unsatisfactory condition
or southern traffic coupled with the dis
satisfaction known to exist among the
lines are responsible for the proposed plan
Of division.
For some time past it has been appar-
ent that steps in the proposed decision
would have to be taken in order to pre-
vent open rebellion. The notice of with
drawal Of the Seaboard Air Line has has
plan all differences will be satisfied. DIFF
ferentials are proposed, and the general
plan of the joint traffic association will be
followed"
