But If the Baltimore Committee Gets

Will Lease il.

just one week from to-day.

stated by an official who is on the inside

by the New York committee and will
certainly be n strong bidder
1.-The Southern" my informant went
on to say. wants the road to prevent
any competition with the Seaboard at

another bidder ut the other end of the

not want the Seaboard-or the Southern

ss.ooo.ooo LOST on HORSE RACES

1t is stated that a man won and lost
s.. 600, 900 on horse races. For twenty
years he kept at it. and most of the
time he was successful. At last fortune
turned against him, and to-day he is
penniless. Gambling is good deal like
neglect of health. 1t can be kept up a
long time, but in the end it is disastrous.
Fortunes are harder to restore than
health. The first step toward winning
back lost health is To restore the diges-
tive organs to a normal condition. For
this purpose Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
is far ahead of anything else. This rene
dy is a specific for Indigestion, dyspep-
STA, fever, ague, nervousness and sleep
lessness. 1t is wonderful tonic. Drug
gists sell it everywhere.

Atlanta, Ga, March 14.-Ordcrs We're
received here last night by the master
mechanics of all the railroads enter
ing the city to have every engine
steamed up and ready for n use Mt a
moments notice. All round houses in
the yards are lighted up and full
force of men is at work day and night
nnra. very unusual thing for sunday
blight.
y A trip to the round houses of several
of0he roads did not elicit any informa-
ton. Those in charge said the en-
gines We're merely steamed, up tor
emergency and that they always kept
some ready to be sent out in case of
breakdown or putting on extra trains.
1t was denied that any orders have
been received to have extra engines
ready for use, although the report was
current that movement of troops was
expected early in the week.
Acting tnder instructions believed to
have been received last night the West
ern and Atlantic shops had on full
force today. Engines which have not
been used for years are being over
hauled and all rolling stock is being
repaired. The master mechanic of
this road denied positively that any
such order had been received and said
the repairs We're being made in, the re-
gular course of work.
The conference of railroad men in
Washington yesterday lent color to the
report that emergency work had been
ordered on several of the roads and al

has been issued it is known that ord
ers were received in Atlanta last night
looking to pushing to this work.
