 A telegram from Knoxville. Tenn, says
 A rumor has been revived in this city that there is to be change Tn Soutnerh Railway superintendents on several uiVf- sions on July 1. The latest report states that the four men are to retire. They are said to be c. $. Hayden, Superintendent Inf Birmingham division; N. J. O Brien of Danviile division, w. A. Vaughan or At Ianta division and H. F. Hutchins or Memphis division. The rumor further states that c. L. Ewing, Superintendent of the Knoxville division. may be trans ferred to some other division as successor to one of these men, and that MaJ F. h' Huger. formerly Superintendent or the Knoxville division, but now of the Charies- ton division, is to be brought back here.
  ment said to have been made by Major Hurer that when he left the Seaboard Air Line a few months ago to go back to the Southern it was with the understand ing that he would be given the superin- tendency of the Knoxville division at the first opportunity MT. Ewing is well liked here and Knoxville would regret to lose him, but. at the same time, would be gl;ss l to welcome Major Huger again.
 MT. Samuel Spencer, President of the Southern Railroad. has informed the Georgia Railroad Commission of the pur- chase by his road of the Atlanta. Val- dosta and Western. a road running from | Jacksonville to Valdosta. distance of | l10 miles, The road will likely be ex- I tended at once to Albany, Ga, and there | it will connect with the Central. making another direct line from Montgomery te Jacksonville.
 | A New York dispatch of the 12th says | All trainmcn, gatemen, and ticket ex' aminers in charge of the Jersey City exits will stop all persons from exchang- | ing kisses upon the arrival and depart ure of trains in this station. This order | must be ragidly enforced" is an order signed by Superintendent P. F. A. Aber- crombie of the Pennsylvania Railroad I | the trainmen, ticket examiners, and gate | men at the Jersey City terminus of the | Pennsylvania railroad today.
 The employees were instructed verbally | by Mir. Abercrombie to see that the order was rigidly enforced, and the gate men are having their own troubles in | carrying out their chiefs directions. | It is claimed that during the rush of | travel the exits and entrances have been | blocked by those anxious to exchange greetings with their arriving or departing | friends. John T. Metcalf d veteran gateman, said:
 q have been with this company thirty years. but I'll he hanged if I ever had anything like this put up to me before. I see my finish right now"
 | It is estimated that the actual time lost each day in kissing at the Jersey City terminus. if added together would con- sume ten solid days.
 There were several Iudicrous scenes when the gatemen attempted to prevent the affectlonate caress today. Men grew angry and the women-well. they gen. orally cried and denounced the gateman as ''horrid man."
