NEW ORLEANS, LA, September 10
IT is reported on reliable information that
the Southern Railway has closed q. deal
by which it becomes the owner Of the
New Orleans Belt and Ter1minal Com
pany, which includes Port Challaette.
The New Orleans Belt and Terminal
Company was known prior to Its reor-
eanization as the New Orleans and West
ern Railway. The transaction is taken
to mean that the Southern Railway has
either procured or will procure a con
trolling interest in the New Orleans and
Northeastern, which would give it an
entrance to this port over its own rails
and the key to the control Of Eastern
traffic. both freight and passenger, be-
aidcs making it a prominent factor in
the cAport situation.

comfort to the eyes. There was a veil
over its face, but the veil itself could not

Can the recent volcanic eruptions have
anything to do with the peculiar beauty
of these sunsets?

It is high-sounding title for an Ameri.

The lavish entertainment of the Cars

there might be no objection If the royal

Dukes tendencies are such that without

Miss Goelet has undoubtedly charmed
the Grand Duke, who has been the guest

noted that Boris has shown no marked
desire to depart. Three times he was

MISS VAN LEW GAVE
THIS Man SECRETS
Richmond Pastor Finds a Forme,
Spy in Boston-A Strange
Career.

DR. ". r. J.. Smith, pastor of the Sec
ond Baptist Church, of this city. was re-
eanuy in Boston, and met a man who
made trips into Richmond during the war
and secured for the Northern armies
valuable information from Miss Lizzie
Van Lew, the woman-spy.
Dr. Smith was seen at his residence
last night by Times writer. He gives
practically this account of his meeting
with the spy and co-worker of Miss Van
Lew:
IT went TO see the Tabernacle Church,
in Boston. This church occupies strange
field. Fifty years ago ii was in the midst
OF wealth and culture. Mansions with or
chards and gardens stood roundabout.
Now ii is far downtown. Some noble men
and women OF means and intelligence
say that the work must never be aban-
doned The old families are nearly all
gone out TO other sections. One hundred
and fifty bar-rooms do business in ra-
dius OF half q mile of the church.
Mr. Robinson, the sexton, astonished
and delighted me with the announcement
that he was once q Sunday-School scholar
in the Second Bsptist Church of ITCH
mond. His father was a deacon in the
church and II. X Ellyson was a name
most familiar. His has been strange
career. In 1853 he ran away to sea and
played the prodigai. At the beginning of
the war of 1861 he was in the North. and
entered the Northern army. His acquain-
tance with Richmond made him cesira BILE
as spy. and into that dangerous service
he went. Four times he Wentured into the
city met Miss Van Lew, and secured ral-
uahie information. I IVES cad 10 see him.
and the fact that he had been in the Sun
day-school of my church made me gentle
towards his ancient disioyaltS.
THE talk j had with him did not last
more than ten minutes. and he did not
tell me the nature of the information Miss
Van Lew gave him.
