THE SOUTHERN SCHEME

There is talk in railroad circles out
West of a division of the management
of the Southern Railway. 1t is report
ed that the Southern is making an ef.
fort to lease the Cincinnati Southern,
and if this can be done there will be
two systems. Cincinnati will be made
headquarters for the lines west of At
lants, Ca, and Bristol, Tenn, with
Samuel FELTON,, of Cincinnati, in charge.
The lines east of Atlanta and Bristol
will constitute the eastern system, with
headquarters probably in Washington.
The Atlanta Constitution says;
This sounds very improbable, bus
the people of Cincinnati have been
talking it for some time"
No particular reason is given for the
division OF the system, but the prece-
dent of the Pennsylvania road is quot.
ed. This company has two systems, one
east of Pittsburg, with headquarters
in Philadelphia, and the other west OF
, Pittsburg, with general offices in that
city.
Mr.. FELTON,, who is mentioned as the
probable general manager of the west
ern system, is at present receiver OF the
Cincinnati Southern.
The Constitution says "the chances
are that the Southern will get tine Gin

Of Cincinnati believe it would be better

The HANDLEY BEoUEsr.-The city
of Winchester has just received another
large installmens of the specific bsqusst
of the will ofthe late Judge John Hand
ley, of Scranton, Pa. The amount al
ready received is $4,000, which was
promptly invested in Virginia bonds.
One hundred and ninety thousand dol.
lars more will likely be received dur
ing the next few months, and this
amount will also be invested for the
city's benefit. This $4,000 is in no
way connec. cd with the suit agsipst the
estate, as the alleged heirs are not suing
on direct bequesis, but on the residu-
ary legacies, in which, however, Win
chester is also interested to a large
extent. When the $3.50, 600 above named
shall have accumulated a like amount,
then the 100000 will be used for the
erection of industrial schools and q
public library in this city. The portion
of the Handley fund already invested
in Virginia bonds has increased Is per
cent. which represents the advance in
the market value of the same.

THE Y. NJ. [.

The board OF visitors to the Virginia
Military Institute bas been called to
meet at Lexington next Thursday to
consider the matter of reinstatiDg the
members OF the graduating class who
were dismissed by Superintendent
Shipp, for wilful violation of the rules
OF discipline on New Years night. L
is generally believed that the cadets
will make ample apology for their con
duct, and will be taken back. The pa
rents and guardians of the young men
are seeking the influence of prominent
men. Gov. Tyler is much interested
in the fate of the students. While he
is believer in discipline, he hopes the
board will reinstate the dismissed stu
dents. These young meD, Governor
Tyler thinks, have been taught les
son OF obedience. II they will apol-
ogizs and promise to be do better the
board, the Governor is inclined to be-
lieve, will reinstate the young men.
As stated yesterday Governor Tyler
and Adjutant General Male are receiv-
ing requests from pareats and friends
have the boys reins'ated.
Neither General Male nor Governor
Tyler have any authority in the matter
and can only act in an advisory man
err. General Male is, ex.ofiicio, mem
Der of the board OF visitors.
The matter will be thoroughly in
vestigated at the meeting of the board
in a few weeks" said General Male
yesterday. "In advance OF that 1 do
not care to say anything. On general
principles am opposed to leniency il
cases of wilful aud deliberate disobedi-
ence of military orders. There may be
some mitigating circumstances in this
case"
General Nslle is most pronounced
enemy to hazing 10 every form. He is
q graduate OF the institute, and cites
many instances OF the prevalence of the
vicious practice during his term there.
maybe the boys will have been pun
ished enough after they have been
made to sweat several days." said Gov
ernor Tyler. 81 have no power to act
10 the matter. 1 nave every confidence
in the wisdom and judgment of Gen.
Shipp."
Old institute men are greatly inter
ested in the circumstances OF the trou-
BILE. There is very general DISPOSE
ton, however, to agree with Governor
Tyler that General Ships good sense
and judgment may De implicitly relied
