advanced, probably nothing will be
done at this point until another year.

Late Congressman DinsIey's College Mite:
All Have Kind Words.

Boston, Jan. 23.--Icditor Amos r.
Wells. of the Christian Endeavor
World, has consulted Chief Justice
Field of the Massachusetts, supreme
court in regard to the career Of the late
Hon. Nelson Dingley.
Mr.. Dingley,' said Judge Field, "was
not one Of these students who will tip
back their chairs and let their minds
roam over the whole creation. He was
deeply interested in q few things and
made himself their master. While he
was at college he was especially fond
of studying forms of government. l
remember that before Mr.. Dingley
came 10 college our class was not in the
habit of meeting often. 1t was he that
called the class together and it was he
that made The opening resolutions
neatly and effectively arranged in first
second and third. He got US to form
ourselves into a senate of the United
States. There We're 80 of us and he
set us to practicing the forms of pro-
cedure of our national upper house.
This senate We maintained for some
time.
He was an honest man." Judge
Field went on to say. Every one re-
spected his thorough integrity. He
was always retiring and modest. As
Il scholar he was not brilliant, though
possibly he was in the upper third If
his class: but he was thorough. In
everything he was thorough"
Il talked With others Of his school
mates,' says Editor Wells "and with
DIR. Henry A. HaZen and S. T.. jameson
and they say the same things. his hon
esty of intellect and deeds. his modesty,
his thoroughness. That farmers lad
possessing these qualities could become
one of the great leaders of Il great ma
tion is one of the most encouraging
facts in our history"

CONSOLIDATED.
Davis Coal & Coke Co., and West Vir-
ginia Central Railroad Interests
Merged Under a New Name.

Special to the Register
NEW YORK, November lit was
announced to-day that the West Vir-
GINA Central railroad and the Davis
Coal & Coke Company have been con-
solidated. The coal company passed
out of existence and the name of the
consolidated company will henceforth
be the West Virginia & Pittsburg Min
ing & Railway Company. The capital
stock of the new company will not be
announced until the incorporation pa
pers are filed. 1t is the intention of the
Elkins and Davis syndicate to greatly
develope their property. A new rail-
road will be built with many short
branches connecting the various coal
deposits with the old line of the West
Virginia Central 1t is also their in
tention to connect that road with the
Chesapeake & Ohio. The connection
will be made with the Short Line rail-
road near Clarksburg. The link will
then enable the company to make close
connection with the Ohio river While
large part of the coal and timber of
the company have been sent to the
Ohio, it has heretofore gone on rath-
er circuitous route. By means of the
new connection this difficulty will be
overcome

FINANCIAL PANIC
Barely Avertsd BY Secretary Gags's

NEW YORK, November 17.--Russell
Sage is quoted to-day as saying to a
newspaper interviewer who asked him
what he thought Of the United States
treasury's offer TO buy $25,0o0.000 CT
bonds:
Il believe Secretary Cages action has
saved the financial world from disas-
trous panic.
''No one who has been in touch with
business enterprises during the past
few months can fail to have realized the
strlngency Of the money market. Ready
money appeared to be extraordinarily
scarce and those who had II held It or
demanded the highest class securities
Before they let 20.
Il know Of banks in different parts Of
the country who had the hardest kind
Of time In realizing money. And yet
they held securities that ordinarily
would have been negotiable anywhere.
THE sharps took advantage Of the
situation. They we're making a rich
harvest Of It. but the government has
stopped their game"
