SOUTHERN ROADS MERGER.
Chicago, indianapolis and Louis
willie Railroad Files Its Answer.

Chicago, indianapolis and Louis
willie Railroad Files Its Answer.
Washington. Nov. 1S.-The Chicago.
indianapolis and Louisville Railroad
Company to-day filed with the Inter
state Commerce Commission its an
swer to the complaint of the Kentucky
State Railroad Commission regarding
an alleged merger of interests among
the railroads in the South.
The answer denies that the road is
a party to any of the combinations
alleged, or to any of the contracts, ar
rangementS or agreements alleged in
the complaint The answer denies
that either the Kentucky commission
or the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has Jurisdiction in the case. 1t
says the complaint fails to show that
any of the defendants have violated.
or propose to violate, the interstate
commerce act or any act of Congress
or federal law, in the absence of
which, the answer says, the COM
plainant commission is entitled to no
relief whatever.
AS to whether J. 2. Morgan & Co.
have become either legal owner or
trustee for the owners of stock in the
defendant companies and have secur-
ed practically the management and OPP
Grafton of their affairs, the answer
says the Chicago. Indianapolis and
Louisville Railway has no knowledge
that would enable it to admit or deny
this charge, and. therefore, leaves
complainant to prove it,
The same answer is made to the al
legations as to the requirement of the
majority of the Chicago, Indianapolis
and Louisville stock by the Morgan
firm, for and in the interest of the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad and
of the Southern Railway and as TO
the requirement of various railroads
and the consultations of certain lines
by the other defendants, as alleged.
The Chicago, Indianapolis and Louis
vile, however, AYERS that, even if it
is true, as alleged, that the majority
in control of it's stock was acquired
and is now held in trust by some one
for the two other roads mentioned
above, no attempt ever has been made
by such alleged majority holders to
change the management of the board
OF directors of the answering company,
nor to increase nor control the rates
of the company in the interest of any
of the other defendants. and that the
persons constituting the majority of
the directorate in May, 1899, continue
to control its affairs.
The answer further says that the
passenger rates from chicago TO
Louisville and intermediate points, and
from Chicago over the Chicago, In
dianapolis and Louisville, to the Ohio
river and thence to points south of
that river, have not been increased,
and says that no connecting lines par
ticipate in making its through freight
rates from Chicago to points south Of
the Ohio river. 1t is denied that the
alleged majority stockholders ever
have attempted to control or change
or interfere with the rates, and says
the companys rates have been made
without any interference whatever.

AT FIRST GLANCE
IL Would Appear That Local Rene
dies Would BE Best for Cure of
Caturrh.

1t would seem at first glance that
catarrh being a disease of the mucous
membrane, that salves, sprays, etc,
being applied directly to the menu
branes of the nose and throat. would
be the most rational treatment, but
this has been proven not to be true.
The mucous membrane is made and
repaired from the blood, and catarrh
is a blood disease, and any remedy to
make a permanent cure must act on
the blood, and when the blood is purl-
fled from catarrhal poison, the secre-
tons from the mucous membrane will
become natural and healthy.
In this climate thousands of people
seem scarcely ever free from some
form of catarrh; ii gets better at times
but each winter becomes gradually
deeper seated. and after a time the
sufferer resigns himself to it as a ne
cessary evil
Catarrh cures are almost as numer-
Gus as catarrh sufferers. but are nearly
all so inconvenient and ineffective as
to render their use nuisance nearly
as annoying as catarrh itself. Anyone
who has used douches,sprays and pow
ders will bear witness to their incon-
venience and failure to really cure.
There are a number of good Internal
remedies for catarrh but probably the
best ana certainly the SaIeSt IS a new
remedy. composed of Red Gum, Blood
Root and similar antiseptic remedies
and other valuable catarrh specifics.
This remedy is in tablet form. pleas
ant to the taste and sold by druggists
under the name of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets. and anyone suffering from
catarrh may use these tablets with alb
solute assurance that they contain no
cocaine. opiate nor any poisonous min
eral whatever.
A leading druggist in Albany speak
ing Of catarrh cures says II have sold
various catarrh cures for years, but
have never sold any which gave such
general satisfaction as stuart's catargh
Tablets. They contain In a pleasant.
concentrated form all the best and
latest eatarrh remedies. and 'catarrh
sufferers. who have used douches,
sprays and saives. have been astonlsh-
ed al the quick relief and permanent
results obtained after a weeks use OF
Stuart's cntarrh Tablets" An drug
glsts sell full sized packages for atty
cents.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 19.-The mand-
amuses prayed for by Campbell Slemp.
Republican candidate for Congress in
the Ninth Virginia district, to compel

gleston. The inspection developed q
discrepancy of 100 votes In Slemp's fa-
vor in the returns from Buchanan
county, between the majority as pre-
sented in the newspapers and the
official vote returned.
The writs of mandamus of the Su-
preme Court require the counting OF
four precincts in Russell, two pre-
cincts in Wythe and one in Washing
ton for Slemp, but since an issue has
been made in Scott county that case
was postponed until Tuesday week to
enable the parties to take proof. All
of the judges concurred in the opinion

Severe Shock in California
People Terrified by the Dsstruc.
tion Being Wrought The Viii
liago of Los Alamos All
Completely Wiped out

San Luis Obispo, Gala, July
31.-A strip of country Is miles
fong by four miles wide, rent
withe gaping assures and d.tted
with hills and knolIs that sprung
up during the night as if by mag>
ic, village in ruins and hundreds
of peopl" fleeing for their lives,
are the results of last nights seis-
mic disturbance in the valley of
Los Alamos; in the northern part
of Santa Barbara country.
During the last four days that
section of the country ha, been
shaken by seri,s of earthquakes
that is uot preceded in the history
OF tradition of the Pacific coast,
and the continuance of the distur-
Dances and the increasing severity
of the shocks have so terrorized
this Inhabitants that they are leav.
ing for other parts as rapidly as
possible, and even now the vii
lags is almost entirely deserted.
The disturbances began Sun
day evening with a shock which
caused several thousand dollars
damage to property in the village
and the sugar country, being more
severe and more disastrous in the
vicinity of Western Union OIL
company's oil wells on Carriage
ranch. The shock was followed
by a number of disturbances less
severe and less disastrous, contin-
uing through the remainder of
Sunday night and Monday.

The Lancaster meeting of the
State campaigners for 1902 is now
thing of the past and it wa. II
me"';rs of which voters and can
"r'o',5 alike were proud. The
y, tie in that the candidates show
ed that courtesy and respect one
to the other due among gentlemea,
and the candidates in that they
had not mot in the campaign n
more quiet, orderly and attentive
audience. AS one of the candi-
dates said to us after the meeting o
that was an audience of intelligent,
thinking men, without bias or
prejudice, and one confronting it
could not help but EEL that he was
boing weighed on his merits and
that the votes he received on the
26th would depend on the impress
sions he made as to his aualifca-
tion for the office he was seeking.
And such we believe was the case.
On the other hand, very few of
the candidates, if any, failed in
making fair impression on the
audience of course some made
better impressions than others.
From number of expressions
after the meeting we would Judge
that Hayward was the choice of
the crowd for governor and Gary
the favorite for Lieutenant Gov
ernor. There was little express
sion of choice of candidates for
the other offices. A full account
of the meeting as reported in The
State the next day will he found

The Greatest Trust the
World Has ever kpOYu
1t is Declared That Rockefeller,
Rothschild and Noble Have
Associated Their Gigan-
tic Oil Interests.

London, July 90. In it's issue
of this morning the Daily Mail
declares there is no longer any
doubt that the three monster oil
interests of Rockefeller, Rsths-
child and Noble Ghave entered ins
to a working agreement. "Thus,"
says the paper, "without any
publicity the greatest trust the
world has ever seen has sprung
into being"
This coordination, says the pa
per, has been hlnted at IN mess
age from Batoum and Moscow and
1t has been more clearly shown in
the offers made to Russian oil ex-
porte-s by representatives of the
Nobel 4 Rot bid Interests for
the abso ion for the whole of
their out put. The exporters
have been hidden to sell Though
the agencies Of these interests at a
price arranged by them, or to
fight the combined forces of the
three oil giants. This offer was
made openly and with the idea
of maintaining prices and it has
been refused, the Russian export
ers preferring to fight. 1t was
doubtless this combination, con-
tinues the Daily Mail, which in
duced the Russian government to
issue invitations to an antitrust
conference. The spokesnen of the
great combination declares it
means fight to the Cdeath and
that the independent exporters
cannot hope to WHO.
