A GREAT RAILROAD COMBINE.
The Vanderbilt Interests and the Pennsylvania
System Strike Hands.
(By the Associated Press.)


Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 13.-Thc Leader

"A financial alliance has been formed
By the two great factors in the Eastern

and those of the Pennsylvania system.

The two big roads were mutually inter

By an understanding the Nanderbilts
Welded the soft coal fields to the Penn

\ NOVEL IN \ MAGAZINE

An innovation in periodical literature
mas been -inaugurated by Tales From
Town Topics with the beginning OF its
twelfth year of publication. The current
issue, September. contains a complete
noVel-not a novelette-such IS would
sell in cloth binding for $50: in addition
10 the usual melange Of brill an: short
stories, sketches, poems and WitticiSms,
which has made this quarterly famous.
The size Of the periodical has been in
creased, and the form changed crorn that
OF a book to a magazine, atIractively
bulky. The novel, entitled Where
Waters Beckon,' is by Joanna f. Wood.
It IS a tale of the Niagara River. OF ab
sorbing interest and much dramatic
strength. The central figure is a young
woman who, at her fathers behest. mar.
rles a m-OnOmaniac. The river TO this
man IS a sentient being. craving contin-
ual sacrifice. and his one object is TO
cast his bride into its waiting embrace.
The bride meets a young civil engineer.
and they become madly in love with each
other. This part of the story is truly
ldyllic. No more moving romance has
been printed for a long time. Though in
prose form, it is a rarely delightful
poem, and cannot but add greatly to Miss
Woods already plenteous wreath of
~laurels.
