PHILADELPHIA. Pa, August %
The startling statement was made this
afternoon on unusually good authority
t1qt George Gould had secured absolute
control Of the Norfolk & Western rail-
read and would use the property as a
cub on the Pennsylvania to secure
what he wants in Pittsourg.

Cont Cut the Weeds.

An article in the Echo last evening
stated that the ladies living in the
east end would present a petition to
Council asking that honorable body
TO instruct the street commissioner to
have the weeds on few miles OF the
streets in the East End cut. The Reg
lister reporter yesterday talked To q
number of people about the same weeds
ana all are OF the opinion that it would
be. folly to cut the weeds; like charity,
they cover a multitude of sins in the
form of broken board walks and mud
holes in the streets. Besides, they form
a protection to the inhabitants OF that
part of the city. They are secure from
burglars. for no self-respecting burg
lar would go exploring the wilderness
of smart weed, rag weeds, etc. They
will soon be so high that the electric
lights will be shut out from view; the
lights will no longer be needed, ana
the city will annually save the cost or
four or five lights. Many other equally
as good reasons were given. BY all
means. let the weeds grow. 1t would
he a mistake to have them cut and
one whose effects would be felt for sew
eral generations to come.

Another heavy test of the respective

ufes ON the railroad at Kingston. Jsmat-
ca has resulted in a great victory for the
latter. which drew l.6 tons over the heav-
lest part Of the line in seven minutes I'M
der the schedule time. The Epglsh loco
motive completely failed to pull the same
load. and when materially lishtened failed
to make even regular time. English ex-
perts and the local railroad officials were
present al the test, which was a great
disappointment to the former Having in
mind the relative cost OF the locomotives.
