There is universal regret along the
Central Branch system over the death
of PaymaSter John w. King. For more
than fifteen years he has paid the EN-
ployeS their checks. He could call more
railroad employees by name than any
other man on the system. In all his
service on the Central Branch he never
missed taking his dinners at the Bell
House, in Marvin, and the Dye House,
in Republic City. Many of his Central
Branch friends in the railroad employ
wish they may have the opportunity
to donate funds to erect a monument to
his memory. On his last trip over the
road about the middle of February, he
complained of not feeling we'll To other
friends he said that he never wanted to

THEY PULL FOR ADDICKS.
Ohio Politicians Urge His Election on
Delaware Legislation.

Dover, Del, March 8.-OnIy five DAYS
remain before the final adjournment of
the legislature and strong effort is be-
ing made to harmonic the Republican
factions, thus securing the election of
successor to United States Senator Geo,
Gray. With this end in view, a letter
was handed to every Republican mem
Der of the general assembly today sign
ed by Congressman c. II, Grosvenor and
Secretary Charles Dick, of the Republi-
can national committee, urging an ear
ly and final settlement of the senatorial
question. The letter says:
I'VE do not assume to advise in re-
gard to your duty as members of the
legislature, but do want to impress on
you that in close and bitter contests,
the will of the majority is safe guide
The Republican party at large is inter-
ested not only in gaining a senator, but
also in the future success of the party
in Delaware
The communication is regarded as IA
vOring AddickS, as he has the support
of a Majority of the Republicans
Eighty-nine ballots have been taken
since the voting for senator began on
January II and the deadlock has con-
tinued unchanged, the slight shifting
of the votes each day not affecting the
result. The belief here among the lead
ers is that the legislature will adjourn
finally on Monday next without filling
the vacancy and that Delaware will get
along with only one representative in
the upper branch of congress until 1901.

RIVER JAMMED WITH DEAD
Savage Slaughter of Imperial Troops
by Chinese Insurgents.

Victoria, B. c., March S.-Details of
the Instruction in the central provinces
of China, received by the Empress of
India, state that the rebel forces and
the imperial troops met in a pitched
battle on January % and the latter were
defeated with great slaughter. Hun
dreds were killed and their bodies af-
ter having been mutilated, were thrown
into the river, until according to a cor
respondent of the China mail the
stream was like a log damned creek.
After the defeat of the imperial troops
the victorious rebels swept on to the
cities of Kuyang and Meng-Sheng
which they took after a short siege. AS
soon as they passed the walls they
massacred men, women and children
and performed all manner of revolving
cruelties. They then burned the cap
tured towns. After these successes the
rebels pushed to Shacou and Kauchon.
The gates of the former city were open
ed by sympathizers within and the hor-
rors witnessed at their first two cap
lures were re-enacted.
Kauchon held out for some time. At
length Niu and his followers gained an
entrance to begin their slaughter. As
a revenge for his having held the city
against the rebels the unfortunate COM
mandant of the garrison was butchered
with savage cruelty. 1t is said 200 men,
women and children fell in the struggle
attending the capture of the city 1t is
feared a great famine will follow the
Instruction for so terrified are the ma
tives that the crops have all been left
standing and will not be harvested.

Chicago, March 8.-The Chicago & AL
ton. when its new owners are in control
is to be brought up to the highest stan
dard physically and in its equipment
1t is to be completely modernized in
it's appointments and in it's methods
1t will be aggressive but conservative
Its local traffic will be developed to the
highest mark, and far more attention
will be devoted to it's through business
This much of the future policy OF the
Alton comes direct from Mr. Harrl-
man, the directing head of the syndicate
which has made the purchase Vice
President and General Manager Chap
pell of the Alton has just returned from
New York, where he has been IN con
sultation with Mr.. Hartman for sew
eral days. He is the authority Tor the
outline so far given.
Mr. Hartman is very anxious that
the Alton shall be improved and put
upon the same standard as the other big
roads of the west" said Mr.. Chappell
yesterday 1.-The syndicate already has
ordered forty new engines of the high
est type of development, and 1t has an
option for thirty more at the hgureS
paid for those ordered. For years the
Alton has been at a disadvantage on ac-
count of it's light engines. The new
ones will be able to pull as heavy loads
as are those of any competing lines. 1t
is the intention of the new owners TO
bring all of the equipment up to the
highest standard. The physical conditlon
of the property also will be improved.
New bridges will be constructed where
it is considered necessary for the ac-
commodation of the heavier equipment,
grades will be reduced and curves elm
mated. The new owners are anxious
for greater development of the local
traffic of the Alton. Steps will be taken
to make the most of the coal business
along the line and developments will be
made in other directions. So far as the
through traffic is concerned much de-
ponds upon the future.
