RAILROADS At PEACE NOV
WILL BE NO MORE RATE WARS
An IrOncIad Agreement Signed-Bar-
riman the Directing Figure-AIl
Western Roads Concerned--stean n, =
ship Lines Included.
Chicago, June 1.-THE Tribune

Chicago, June 1.-THE Tribune
says:
E. H. Hartman was the directing
figure in two movements begun re-
Gently which are expected to affect
every railroad running west of Chica-
go and st. Paul. What is believed to
be the first step toward composite
agreement between tAe great roads
running west of these cities was per-
fected at a conference held here be-
tween Mr.. Hartman and the officials
of the companies concerned. By its
terms an ironclad agreement to end
rate wars and other complications is
expected to be spread over all the
roads in the northern group, includ-
ing the Northern Pacific, the Burling-
ton, the Milwaukee & st. Paul, the
Union Pacific, the Great Northern
INES. At the southwest the Southern
Pacific and Missouri Pacific will op-
crate hand in hand.
1t will be a community of interests
plan and provides that the Pacific
Mail and Occidental Steamship lines,
controlled by the Southern Pacific,
shall take care of the Santa Fe's
transpacifc business. The other move
directed by Mr.. Hartman was the
practical provision for the transfer of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
to the Hartman syndicate and the
turning of this line into link of the
Union Pacific system.
This plan was arranged at secret
conference held at the Auditorium An
mex, attended by many railroad men
and number of bankers.
Little doubt is entertained that the
syndicate has acquired control Of the
Milwaukee &, st. Paul on practically
tie same lines that ]. j. Hill secured
control of the Burlington. The stock
of the st. Paul road will be taken over
ny the Union Pacific at the October
meeting. 1t is reported that the
stockholders of the former line will
be offered 5000 of 4 per cent bonds
for every 800 worth of stock, and that
the bonds will be guaranteed by the
Union Pacific, Santa Fe, Missouri Pa
cific and the Goulds, who are said to
be parties to the transaction" Ger
tain large stockholders of the st. Paul
it is said. have sold or sell stock to
the par value of $25,000,0O0.
The Chicago Tribune says: That the
Hartman combine has secured control
Of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul.
and that a composite agreement has
been made to perfect community of
interests with roads having tracks
enough to twice belt the globe, is gen.
orally accepted in railroad circles. The
sudden departure of Hartman for the
east accompanied by President Mitch
ell of the Illinois Trust & Savings
bank, was announced in support of the
statement that Mitchell and other
bankers would furnish the funds for
the completion of the Milwaukee G. st.
Paul transfer. The meeting of the
western officials with Mr.. Hartman is
| believed to have been the result of the
recent controversy over the control of
the Northern Pacific stock which drove
short holders to cover at $1,000 a share

THE MISSING GIRL MYSTERY,

THE MISSING GIRL MYSTERY.
ALI the country around Edenton
and Elizabeth City Is very much
wrought up over the strange disap-
pearance ofa beautiful young woman,
Miss Ella Cropsey. She disappeared
under strange and mysterious cir
cumstances about ten days ago. She
went on the front porch one night
to bid her visitor and admirer good
night. This was the last seen of the
girl. She did not return and no
one has seen her since. Searching
parties have been looking for her
every day and night. It IS thought
that there must have been foul play
or else she Is held somewhere in
captivity by a jealous lover. Mr..
James Wilcox, who was one of her
admirers, has been arrested on suspi-
cion.
, The Governor has offered 4 $500
reward and other rewards have been
offered making the total about 5000.
The MYSTERY 10 no nearer cleared up
today than when it was learned that
the girl was missing.

Some time ago the North Carolina
Historical Society conceived the idea
of encouraging the writing and pre-
servation of North Carolina history
by Offering premiums for prize es-
says on designated subjects. A prize
of $50 was offered for the best sketch
of the life of Nathaniel Macon. A
number of excellent articles were
written and the prize was secured by
Mr.. Clarence E Poe, the editor of
the Progressive Farmer. His ar
ticle is an admirable one and the
first installment Of it appears in this
issue of the CAUCASIAN. The North

The First Assistant Postmaster General
Thinks it will be Brought About by
Extension Of Free Delivery.
Washington, Dec. IA self sus-
tanning service, brought about by
the yearly increase of the postal
revenues resulting from general ex-
tension of rural free delivery, is the
conclusion reached by First Assist
ant Postmaster General w. M. John
SOD, in his annual report. Of the
gross postal revenues Of the United
States for the past fiscal year $74,-
295, 1894 came from 500 delivery
cities. The remaining $500 presi.
dental postoffices yielded S16,U63,
252, while the 75'479 fourth-class
postofices produced $1s,913,519.
Mr. johnson says that the fact
that the postal service in the largest
cities is practically perfect is the ex'
PLANTATION of why the annual per
centage of increase in the revenues
of the free delivery postofices should
be three times greater than in the
smaller cities and five times as large
as that of the fourth-class Offices
AS rural free delivery reaches out
into the country, giving equal facili.
ties without regard to the locality,
he says it increases the revenues at
a rate ct least equal to that main
tanned in the free delivery cities
where, during the past five years, il
has averaged per cent. At the
end of the present fiscal year $500
rural routes were successfully in
operation, 5000 being In effect by
December End.

cent editorial under the above head.
ing, say:
'It is seen in The Richmond Times
that 'ex-Governor Johnston, of Ala
bama, has issued a statement assert
ing that the ratification of the Ala
bama constitution was obtained by
gross frauds. He says that the coun-
ties in which the white voters pre-
dominate gave majority against
the constitution, but that enough
votes were fraudulently counted in
the c. unties where the colored vot-
ers predominant to overcome the
white majority and to secure an ap-
parent majority for the constitution.
Ex-Governor Johnston is DEM
ocrat and q truthful and honorable
man who would not libel his own
people. His recital is shameful
one, and our Richmond contempt
rary takes occasion to remark upon
it for its parts that it "would be in
finitely better to proclaim the Vir-
ginia constitution than to have it
ratified by trickery and fraud" It's
none of Our business but it occurs to
US that the alternative presented is q
frightful one. The Virginia Demo
cratic convention demanded that a
constitutional convention be called
and pledged itself that if this were
done the constitution which it
framed should be submitted to the
people. Now 1t appears that if it is
to become the States organic law
either this pledge is to be violated
and the constitution ''proclaimed"
by the body which frames it, or else
it is to be ssratified by trickery and
fraud" It had better fail than be-
come the law by either means, other
wise as grave an accusation can be
brought against Virginia as ex-Gov-
ernor Johnston and others find them
selves impelled to bring against Ala
bama.D
And low comes the News and
Observer which says In reply that
the methods employed in Alabama
to count in their constitution, care
just as fair and honest as those used
in North Carolina" to adopt the
constitutional amendment.
