Traffic Troubles

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-The western
roads are not making any great progre So
in their efforts to stop the demoraliza-
tion in north Pacific coast rates. The re-
ports are all to the effect that the COM
missions larger than those callsd for in
the agreement are still being paid and
that other methods contrary to the let
ter and spirit of the agreement are en-
ployed for the purpose of getting busi-
ness. The western roads are of the opin~
ion that the situation will not improve
for the better with any certainty until
he Union Pacific has become a member
of he Western Passenger association
Not that the Union Pacific is entirely to
blame for the demoralizat ton, but as
long as it is not bound by any agreement
the other roads are liable to regard
whatever it does with suspicion.

CORRESPONDENCE Of the Beacon. !

Correspondence of the Beacon.)
There was an interesting gathering of
the family and descendants. of Mr.. Mar
tin While at his old homestead near
Hollywood on Saturday last, the occas-
ion being the eightieth anniversary of
his birth. Mr.. While came to this coun-
ty about sixty years ago. having wife
and one child. He now numbers among
his descendants twelve children, fifty
four grand and eleven great grandchil-
dren. OF these, fifty four were present
on the occasion referred &c, together
with number of friends and neighbors
who were glad TO honor this Patriarch
of the While family by their presence.
The old gentleman has grown old
gracefully" and enjoys the pleasures of
life with as much zest as those many
years younger than himself He is hale
and active, and in his good old age is
enjoying the blessings of temperate
and well-spent life. His many friends
and relatives testified their appreciation
OF him by avariety OF handsome pres
ents. Among those which seemed to
delight him most, was large twist of
country tobacco, sent him by his old
friend, Col. John F. Dent. When this
was presented to him, he manifested his
pleasure by bringing "double shuttle"
the nimbleness of which excited the envy
of all present. We hope he will live to
enjoy many more family reunions. 80

Editors Beacon One of the most i'm
pressive scenes witnessed for many
years was the occasion of the celebra-
ton OF the eightieth birthday of Mr..
Martin While, at the home of his son,
Jos. G. While, on Saturday, 18th instant.
Over seventy guests, including his four
sons, one daughter, twenty-nine grand
children and ten great grand children
partook ofthe beautifully prepared meal
of turkey, stuffed ham, oysters and 9TH
er goodies too numerous to mention.
The table was most beautifully and taste
fully decorated with flowers and ever
green. The confectionery table was oh
Just lovely. 1t was loaded with sweets,
and the cake prepared by an experienced
baker of Baltimore placed in the centre,
was magnificent to behold. Mr.. While,
the subject of this celebration, was i'm
the best of health and looking as well as
he did twenty years ago. His face beamed
with joy, making manifest the happy
emotion which swelled up in his heart,
and yell might it be so, for the love and
affection of his children, thus revealed,
rendered the occasion one of the happi-
est of his life. Years may come and go,
aud mayhap many changes will be
wrought, but all who took part in this
festive scene, will ever remember the
occasion as being one of the 1st i'm
pressive of their lives.
May many years yet be his, and each
anniversary marked by such love token
of his children, grand children, and pos
sibly by his great great grand children is
the wish of your humble correspondent.
