IMPORTANT RAILWAY CHI ANGE.
Richmond Fredericksburg and Poto-
mac Under Control of the Penzsyl-
vania and the Baltimore and Ohio
Roads

New York, March 2S.-The Evening
Post today says: ut may be stated
on very excellent authority that the
operation of the Richmond, Fredericks-
burg and Potomac will be taken over
by the Pennsylvania n Baltimore
and Ohio. Whether those roads VIII
act separately or jointly is not yet set
tied, but the Richmond line will here
after be dominated by these two COM
panies, which, heretofore, have used
it as a connection for the south. 1t
extends from Richmond north to guam
tico, Va, eighty miles, on the Potomac
river, where it connects with the
Pennsylvania line to Washington. 1t
is also used by the Atlantic Coast Line
and the Seaboard Air Lin as part Of
their Washington nnes.
1.-The success of the Seaboard Air
Line in securing a charter at he recent
session of the Virginia Legislature for
a parallel line from Richmond to
Washington has brought he ompany's
affairs before the public. There is a
possibility that the new control Of the
property, which may be taken as prac-
tically established, will make it posi-
BILE to effect some arrangement by
which the possibility of the building of
this proposed parallel line will not be
undertaken"

Mr.. A. C. Wentz, of Roper. writes to
The Plymouth Beacon that he is not
an active politician, but a very jealous
populist since that party was first or
ganized. He says of the betrayal of
his party and of his purpose to vote
for the amendment:
But now the populist party has fall
en- to pieces on it's own weight. In fact
disintegration has been steadily going
on in the party ever since the noto-
rious un~truStworthy seventeen in the
legislature four years ago., sold out the
party to the republicans for a few Of
fees. Since hat time the leaders seem
only to have sought an opportunity to
advance their own selfish purposes, re-
CARELESS of party policy, or party inter-
ests. Such a course naturally destroy
ed all confidence in them, and left the
old ship without a pilot"

'Guggenheims' II plants before the meet
ing adjourns.
Their far reaching program is said to
have been inaugurated in the acquire
ment within the last nine months OF all
the largest copper producing mines on
the American continent, the intention
being to dictate the price of that metal,
raising it in the face OF demand and
holding stocks under depressing crcum-
stances.
A similar desire and intent of the spec
ulators is attributed to their invasion of
the smelter field, plants Of the Guggen-
helms in Mexico, Bolivia and the United
States, with the original trust plants,
constitute all the extensive American
facilities for ore reduction. With each
plant under its control the last possible
American element of competition in the
lead and silver markets would be elimi-
mated, and the expectation of the capi-
talists who are arranging the consolida-
tion is that they will be able to bull or
bear prices at will. One of the best au.
thorities in Denver stated last night that
but for the Standard Oil-Rocaefeller CO.
operation, requirement of the Guggen-
helm plants would have been impossible
at this time by the company. The com
pletion of the deal on Tuesday is conf.
dently predicted by holders of the stock
in this city.
The directors will also, according to
the same authority, order an 100 per cent
increase in the capacity of the Durango
plant, the additions to be completed in
the coming year. This action is said to
be necessary to accommodate the in
creased ore production of the San Juan
region.
The requirement by the trust OF the
Stoiber mines at Silverton is also to
come before the directors for considera-
tion, and may be actually contaminated
without further delay, the company's Of
ficials desiring that property's output of
lead ores as a guarantee of constant
fluxing supply at Durango.
The property has passed into the
hands of the combine, the purchase
being closed this week.

WHITE ASH COAL MINE.

Golden Transcript: Our suggestions
last week regarding the reopening of the
White Ash coal mines in this city have
set people to talking about it, if nothing
else comes of it. An expert miner tells
US that shaft can be put down on the
south side to the 100 foot level for pump
ing, the old Loveland shaft on the north
side repaired and machinery put in ready
for hoisting for sum not exceeding $780,
600. This shaft is directly on the rail
road track and there is plenty of the
best coal in the country at the bottom of
this shaft ready to be tackled. 1t is a
matter worthy of somebody's attention.

to the depth of 1920 feet on the vein
and for the last few years has been un
profitable on account OF the heavy cos
of pumping. The vein will in time be

Pursuant to instructions from the city
council, Water Collector Elijah Stevens
has notified the mine owners using city
water for boilers, that the water will be
shut off from and after today. This step
had to be taken owing to the limited
supply of water in the reservoirs of the
city. This is a WISE precaution to pre-.
vent water famine.
