The Sumter and " Wateree Railroad will be
rather Insignificant aud unimportant road

junction, and on this account many persons
who are not accustomed to look below the
surface and are given to forming opinions aud
drawing conclusions from what they see at
frst glance, have exhibited disposition 10
belittle the new road aud to max, light of it.
They have gone 80 far as to assert emphsti-
cslly that the city would receive out meagre
benefits from the road, and that as the road
is but fifteen miles in length it follows neces-
sarily that it can do little for Sumter. This
sort of talk is bu. the vaporings of min
formed minds and is not worth consideration.
The Sumter and Wsteree alone is insignifi-
cant, but as a part Of the So1tb Carolina aud
Georgia r. r., it is of the 6rst importance
and it will be Of great and lasting benefit not
only to this city bot to the entire country.
The South Carolina & Georgia R R. is a
strong, prosperous and progressive system
and is reaching out all the time for more ter.
ritory and more business. The Ohio River
and Charleston R. R. (shs C's) is now
owned aud operated by the s O. l. Ga aed
this road will be extended in short time
from Gafoey to Spsrtsnburg This will
give this city direct connection with the cot
ton mill district Of the Piedmont and will
enable the mills to buy cotton here 90 90
equal footing with the export buyers who have
heretofore had q monopoly Of the market.
1t is g. we'll known fact that cotton brings
better prices ie the places where the mills
have buyers, and the Improvement of the
Sumter cotton market will not be the least of
the benefits following the compilation of the
Sumter and Wateree aHd the entrasce of the
s. G. & Ga, into this city.
What the Charleston Post said yesterday
Of the proposed extension of the S. C. 4 Ga
TO Spartanburg will be of interest:
"The South Carolina and Georgia road
will soon be operating trains over its own
tracks to Sparsanburg instead of over the
Southern.
The bill which was recently passed to allow
the South Carolina and Georgia road to
build from Gaffney terminus of the Ohio
River and Charleston railroad to Spar,anburg
seems to have met with general favor both
in the up and low conntry.
1t is not positively known when active
work will begin on the Spertanaurg exten-
sios, but there is everyeseasoo to believe that
it Will be some time within the near future
The completion Of the road will give
Charleston direct route to the mos, pros
porous towns 10 the Piedmont section, where
are located the big cotton mills of the South.
1t will be the means of reducing freight rates
and the Wholesale men will reap the benefits
of the trade from the country merchants who
are now buying from Richmond and Balti-
more because Of the low rates given oy the
Southern.
''Tne citizsns of Spartanburg are delighted
With the efforts being made by the South
Carolina and Georgia road to get into their
town"

National Reform Association,

Boston, Feb. 23-At the opening ses-
sion of the National Reform association
here to-day resolutions were adopted af-
ter a discussion declaring the official
recognition of divine sovereignty The
resolutions were to the effect that TO
the omission of Christs name and a be-
coming recognition of His authority in
the constitution of the United States
is attributable very much of the dis
quietude and peril of our nation because
of the displeasure of Jehovah for the
disrespect thus shown to His name and
authority and that a sincere and de-
vout recognition of Jesus Christ as the
one and only supreme head and law
giver Of our nation is the vital point
of outset from present embarrassments
into greater blessings and higher at
tainments and such recognition should
be shown by the insertion of unequivo-
cal recognition of Christ and His au-
thority as King and Supreme law-giver
in the national constitution and all CO.
ordinate state constitutions We're it is
not incorporated.

PLANS OF THE c.. II. md Q.
$5, 100000 to be Raised and $164, 600 200
of New Bonds Issued.

Boston, Feb. 23-At a special meeting
of the directors of the Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy railroad, held here to-
day, it was decided to raise about $5,-
0o0,0 of new money for improvements
and equipment purposes, and to issue
$164, 100000 in new bonds. with the pro-
ceeds of which the Chicago, Burlington
and Northern and the Keokuk and
Western railroads are to be bought in
and the Ottawa, Oswego and Fox River
Valley road eight per cent. bonds, fall
ing due in 1900, are to be liquidated.
Chairman Hunnewell of the finance
committee stated after the meeting that
no refunding plan was contemplated.
Chairman Hunnewell said:
1T Is the intention of the company to
put a new mortgage on it's property
east of the mississippi; and we need
about five millions of new money as we
intend to buy in the Chicago, Burling-
ton and Northern railroad and refund
it's debt this year; and we shall also
at the same time provide for the Otta-
wa, Oswego and Fox River bonds fall
ing due in 1900, so that it will make

the directors is to go to the stockhold-
ers for what money is wanted this year,
issuing to them about s56,000,0 900 Of stock.
The directors voted to buy the Keokuk
and Western railroad $50 miles long,
in Iowa and Missouri and practically
in the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
territory. AS 3h per cent. bond on
the property of the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy, east Of the Mississippi riv-
er, may be considered as worth par, it
is explained that the directors have
practically agreed to-day to raise $16,-
0O0, ,0C0 from stockholders by giving them
a bonus of $4,000,000 in Chicago Bur-
lington and Quincy stock. AS this stock
is worth nearly s6,oo0,000, the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy stockholders get
a dividend this year of six per cent.
The amount of Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy stock outstanding is $SS, ,0O0."

FIRE IN SWIFT STOCK YARDS.
Private Advices Say That Business VIII
Not be Interrupted.

Chicago, Feb. 23.-During fire which
for two hours to-day threatened to
spread throughout the packing house
district of the stock yards one fireman
was killed and three others were severe-
ly injured, one so seriously that it is
believed he will die. An employe of
Swift & Co. was also struck by falling
bricks and severely injured The blaze
destroyed Swift & Co.'s warehouse No.
Z, directly in the center of the packing-
house district, and several of the adj
joining structures were slightly damag-
ed. The loss is estimated at 100000.
The building, which was a seven-story
structure, was occupied by a large NUM-
Der of firms, the majority of them be-
ing machinists, printers and engravers.s
The total loss is estimated at $225,000
OF this amount $500 is on the build
ing Two firemen were injured, while
many others had narrow escapes from
the falling floors.

Passes the House--The Rank of Admi iral 1
Created.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The naval ap-
preparation bill finally passed the house
this afternoon after four days acrimo-
NOUS debate, most of which was spent
upon the question of reha bilitating the
naval academy at Annapolis in accord
ance with the scheme inaugurated by
the appropriation of half million in
the last naval bill and the proposition
to increase the maximum price to be
paid for armor plate to $545 per ton,
existing law limiting it to $400. The
amendment to build great armor
plant was ruled out upon a point of or
der, but after a rancorous debate the
price for arnlor was cut down from
$545, the price which the committee in
sisted was being paid for the new
Krupp armor, to $445, and proviso was
also added precluding the government
from paying more than was paid by any
other foreign government for similar
armor.
Another victory over the committee
was secured by the adoption of pro-
vision to the naval bill creating the
rank of admiral Of the navy. This
was accomplished by Mr.. Moody of
Massachusetts,, who offered a copy of
the senate bill creating this rank, as an
amendment to the naval bill. The
amendment was clearly subject to the
point of order against it raised by Mr..
Boutelle, but the sentiment of the house
was apparently SO unanimous in favor
of the amendment that he withdrew the
point of order and it was adopted with
out a dissenting vote. The naval COM
mittee had amended the senate bill SO
as to create a rank of vice admiral but
Mr.. Moody's amendment was the orig
inal senate bill without the latter provi-
sion. When the bill was reported to
the house Mr.. Boutelle attempted to
secure a reversal of the verdict of the
committee on the naval academy BILL |
but he was defeated.

BOXING SHOW IN LONDON.
Benefit for Austin Isice--Pretty Go Be-
tween Rice and nIcGOvern.

New London, Feb. 23.-The benefit
rendered Austin Rice tonight by his
pugilistic friends, while not the finan-
cial success hoped for, was a very salts
factory event. Sammy Meyers Of New
York and Austin Rice, the beneficiary,
went four rounds and it was in a meas
ure somewhat of a comedy, as the men
took particular pains not to hurt each
other, though they indulged in some
clever sparring and caught the crowd.
Tim Callahan of Philadelphia and Ed
die DAILY of Providence, George Dixon's
sparring partner. were the next to en-
ter the ring and the spectators were
more than enthused by their exhibition.
The finale was between Terry McC0v-
ern and Austin Rice, and the pace was
so hot that it ventured on being the real
thing. The bout was pretty one and
though no decision was given the ad-
mirers of Rice have more confidence
than ever in his ability.
