week and passed the following or
der, finally settling the merger con-
troversy:
Whereas, The attorney general
has this day appeared before the
commission and advised that the
Southern Railway Company has ap-
piled to become a domestic corpora

his proclamation accordingly; and,
"Whereas, The attorney general
advises that, in his opinion, no sub
stantial basis for the claim that the
Southern and the Mobile & Ohio are
parallel and competing within the
contemplation of the law; therefore,
be it
'Resolved and ordered by the Mis-
sissippi railroad commission, That
the settlement made by the attorney
general of the controversy over the
purchase of the Mobile & Ohio by
the Southern, by requiring the latter
to become a domestic corporation
and subject to the jurisdiction of
this State, be and the same is here
by ratified and approved. And the

it is ordered that all further consid-
Grafton of this matter by the COM
mission be finally dismissed"

Der. to answer petitions for better
union depots at Meridian and Cor
inth. The Yazoo & Mississippi Val
ley was cited to appear at the same
time to show cause why a depot
should not be erected at Parchman.
The Southern was granted per-
mission to abolish stations at Holly
Ridge and Cato, Washington coun-
ty, provided no vested rights were
disturbed, and to build a new depot
between these points.
The application of the Western
Union to close the Pearlington of
flee was granted. The Yazoo & Mis-
sissippi Valley was granted permis-
sion to abolish the ticket Office at

THE OLD EXCHANGE
Made Another Effort to Burn, But
Failed.

Made Another Effort to Burn, But
Failed.
It seems that fate is about to over
take the old telephone exchange
building. 1t is an old frame build
ing standing on Main street and is
the only one of the kind on that
street except another which stands
near it.
For the past six months the old
thing has canght on fire two or three
times but it always being during
the day some one would throw a
bucket of water on the fire and out
she would go.
So last evening it concluded to try
its hand again. Mr.. Williams oc-
cupies the front part of the building.
In the rear is room unoccupied and
a pair of stair cases which go up to
the second floor. Under these stair
case was a-fot of old rubbish. : Sever

into the pile of rubbish, as there is
where the fire was discovered first.
The blaze came through and into
the room occupied by Mr., Williams
as a store house. He ran around
to the rear and entering the vacant
room threw a bucket of water on the
fire which had the effect OF partly
extinguishing it. The fire, alarm
was sounded and the company
turned out, but tire fire had been ex-
tfnguished before its arrlvaI.
Mr.. Williams sustainded some
damage by the removal of goods,
show eases and the like, but not
great amount. 1t is q pity this old
shack is not torn, down or burned

STORM CAME IN THE NIGHT

OMAHA, March 1.-THE heaviest
wind. rain and hafstorm in
the history of the city visited
Omaha and Douglas county at 2
o'clock this morning. II struck
Omaha near Monmouth park, in the
northern edge of the city, and moved
southeast, the greatest severity beng
experienced in the neigh borhoOd of
Thirty-third and Lawnmore streets. Al
though perhaps fifty buildings were
more or less damaged, nobody was seri-
ously injured. Telephone and electric
wires in the path Of the storm were
strewn over the streets and a great
number of poles were torn out.
Franklin school, one of the largest
in the city. had to be abandoned tenn
pOrarily. A large chimney was blown
onto the roof, which caved IN and 1e-
molished the interior Of several rooms.
Small buildings were blown about in an
easy way and several barns were torn
to pieces.
The Monmouth Park N. Z. church
was literally torn to pieces, Several
greenhouses were wrecked by the hail
Emmanuel hospital was badly damaged
by a large chimney having blown
through TIE roof.
Several nearby towns in this county
report the worst storm for years. II
was particularly severe at Valley and
Elkhorn and at the latter place a Union
Pacific train was struck by a falling
coal chute and considerably damaged.
although no one was injured At Flor
ence, three miles north of the city, and
where the city waterworIs are located.
the storm twisted several buildings
from their foundations, but the water
works plant was not affected. In Cen
trail park lightning struck several
barns
