 ter of Grand Duke.
 Berlin, Nov. 19.-The burial of the little Princess Elizabeth, daughter of the Grand Duke of Hesse, who died at Skiernewiece, Russian Poland Monday took place at Darmstad today. Among those who fol- lowed the coffin from the railroad station to the masoleum, were Prince Eitel Friederich the second son of Emperor William. who represented the Emperor; Count von Gleichen, representing King Edward, and many of the German nobili- ty. The Czar sent a telegram expressing sympathy and regrettlng that the illness of the Czarina prevented his attendance.
 The attendance of the former Grand Duchess of Hesse, mother of the Princess, completely surprised the court circles at Darmstadt, Up to noon nobody knew that she was coming and it was stated that the Grand Duke of Hesse had car ried on lengthy negotiations by telegraph en route to Dramstadt with a view to inducing the Grand Duchess to be present. She consented at the moment and joining the funeral train at Frankfort rode to Darmstadt in the same compartment as the Grand Duke from who she has been separated for some time.
 Upon the arrival of the train at Darm- stadt. the Grand Duke himself superin- tended the transference of the coffin to the hearse.

Miniature Strike Failed.

Half a dozen running men of the Selma Street Railway Company walked out yes- terday afternoon and it was reported that the lines of the company would be tied up by a strike. There was no apprecta- ble delay, however, and men were soon found to operate the cars.
 The trouble is said to have originated from a dispute raised by John Sample, a motorman, because he did not want to operate an open car on account of the cold He refused to take the run and 1t is said induced five other employees to leave their cars. There was no serious trouble, though Motorman Sample had a fight with Superintendent Shuford.
 Most of the men who walked out have asked for their old places and majority will doubtless be taken back into the ser vice of the company.

YOUNG MEN IN CONGRESS.
A Younger Set of Men Coming to

A Younger Set of Men Coming to
 the Fore.
 "The fifty-eighth Congress will be re- markable for its membership of young men who are notable not only in point of numbers, but conspicuous for ability. Some sixty members of the new Congress have emerged from kits since the last bullet sped at Appomattox.
 'In official and Congressional hfe," says Mir. North Overton Messenger, in the December Pearson's, "a man at forty years of age is considered young. and the graybeards look upon the fellows of thirty-hve as mere striplings; but here comes on a crop of embryo statesmen whose ages range from twenty-eight to thirty-two. Who can say that a man who possesses ability enough to push him through the stirring competition of these times into a seat in Congress before he is thirty years old may not, within the next decade, take his place among the most brilliant statesmen of the land?
 with a President In the White House, who as the head of the government, took the executive chair at forty-three years of age, there is a following of young men in important positions throughout the various branches-legislative, execu- tive and judicia1-whlch emphatically marks this as the age of the young man. Behind this army of aggressive, ambi- tious, energetic, and competent men is a solid backing of experienced legislators jurists, and executive officers who viii furnish the fiy-wheel. the governor to the engine, so to speak,"

 The continental consumption has also increased very much more rapidly than the British in a word, whereas forty years ago Great Britain was first. the Continent second, and the United States Continent second, and Great Britain a bad third. The question of the future supremacy in the trade therefore resolves itself into the survival of the Attest. Ali the mills with old-fashioned machinery, must go to the wall.

 renort that seems to have a reliable source is that at meeting of the Mas recently held in Washington it was de- cided that the force and the capacity or the railways shops at knoxViue, Tenn: and at Spencer, N C., should pc douoieo to meet the demands for repairs and viIl in no way affect the smaller plants of the company. The Knoxville shops nov employ about 1000 men, while Lne Spencer shops employ between So0 ana Svo, and the proposed increase or workmen is notable. The equipment of the shops. N is reported. is to be enlarged proportion ateiy. of the system is already done In spencer and Knoxville and 1t Is expected that m addition the company ", WIT ma manusscs,SS ,,as anS that nearly tine entire equipment of ite road will be made in its shops N ls thought that the change in the greater will have little effect upon the lessea' shops, enlargement being made necessary of the railway and the growing demands for repair work and rolling stock wnicn the company finds hard to meet with its present facilities, and that the Soutnefn machinists and founders outside or Knox now, kept busy with the jobs which have heretofore occupied them.
 The rumor that the Southern would in a short time" remove it's shops rom Selma has been intermittent for years and has recently been revived and spread with renewed strength, and the report about Spencer and Knoxville will doubtless give 1t an additional force, but It is hardly probable that the rumor will become verity. The shops here are convenience if not a necessity and the expediency or fhair roYnnva1 doubtful.

Special Meeting of Council.

A session extraordinary will be held by the City Council next week to consider matters Of importance, including petl- ton for the leasing of the market house and the rate to be paid the street rali- way company for hauling gravel for street grading purposes.
 The petition in regard to the lease of the market was read to the members Of the Council at their last meeting and was by them referred to the Committee on Market and Market Regulations with power to act But the committee has met and failed to take definite action on the matter and it Is probable the petition will be returned without recommendation. The prayer of the petition is that four butch CTS who now have stalls in the public market house in Washington Street be al- lowed to lease the whole market
 The gravel-hauling question was also before the Council at its first meeting but 1t was impossible at that time to complete the business. The question to be de- cided is one of rates for hauling but 1t is expected that other matters connected with street improvement will be broach- O.
