BOOKS FOR THE UNIVERSITY.
Valuable Grants Received from Ok
ford and Cambridge.

As is known to those who take keen
interest in the affairs of the University
of Virginia, Captain W. Gordon McCabe,
of this city, while in England last sum-
mer visited personal friends at the uni
versities of oxford and Cambridge, and,
with fun authorization of the Board Of
Visitors of our University (on which
board he served for many years., wrote
a petition to the Vice-Chancelor OF each
of the great English universities, asking
for a grant of books from the "Claren-
don" (Oxford) and pitt" Cambridge
Presses for the library Of his Alma
Mater"
oxford responded promptly with a
handsome grant and few days ago
Captain McCabe received a personal let
ter from Professor X. G. Jebb, of Cam
bridge. stating that that university had
done the same The delay at Cambridge
was owing TO the fact that DR.. Jebb
had forgot, I'm the press of his multifari-
Gus labors 0or he is member Of Parla-
ment for the university, as we'll as pro-
fessor). that the petition had been left in
his hands AS soon as Captain McCabe's
letter was laid before the syndics of the
pitt Press" their action was prompt
and generous. The University is TO be
congratulated on these valuable dona
lions, for as is well known, the publi
cations Of the Clarendon" and Pitt
presses are Of the highest order Of excel
ience in all departments Of human learn
ing.
Still. the University library is in many
directions sadly deficient, and she must
look 10 donations from public-spirted
citizens. from her alumni, and from her
more fortunate sister institutions to sup
ply the much-needed deficiencies.

RAILROAD MEETING HERE.
The Southern States Freight Assoc
citation to lie Reorganized.

Tomorrow morning at IL O'Clock the
managers Of the traffic departments Of
the various railroads running through the
South will assemble at the Jeffer-
son. and take final action looking to
the reorganization OF the Southern
States Freight Association, which has
fallen into dsfavor with the roads con-
trolled by 1t, and, as a result OF the
withdrawal of number OF the roads
that held membership in IT, has become
cumbersome and too expensive.
The meeting tomorrow is an adjourned
session from one held here on the 9th,
and at that melting a committee spe-
oially appointed for the purpose sub
mitted a report outlining a plan OF re-
organization. which proposes TO abolish
the office of commissioner, now held by
Mr. Ii. $. Haines, OF Atlanta, and sub
stitute for him an advisory board Of
eight and to continue the Rate Commit
tee and Executive Board, but 10 abridge
their powers.
This report met with unanimous favor
among the representatives. present at the
meeting. but il was deemed inadvisa5le
IN take any final action until the heads
Of all the roads were consulted, and
hence the adjournment until tomorrow.
II is likely that the report will be
adonted tomorrow, and that the associa-
tIon will be recognized without further
DELAY.
