ceived a telegram announcing the
death of his oldest daughter, Stella, at

from consumption for some time, and
has been undergoing medical treat

years has been slipping. away to south4

These terminal charges were made
tho basis Of the complaint which the

several weeks ago, with q view to com-
polling the railroads to grant the same
facilities to ocean steamships for load
ing at this port that are offered at Bal

The.indications now are that the de-
sired result will be brought about vol
unfairly by the railroads., for they see
that the business Interests of this city
are identical with their own, and that
they have been heavy losers by refus-
ing to offer as good facilities to shippers
as the Southern roads do.
