Rnmored Railroad Deal.

A rumor is current in railroad circles
that there is deal on foot whereby the
Norfolk and Western will send a train
into Washington by way OF Rlverton
Junction and the Manassas branch OF
the Southern. At present the Norfolk
and Western sends one OF its trains into
Washington over the Southern from
Lynchburg. The remainder of its traffic
has to 90 TO Shenandoah Junction and
then into Washington over the Baltl-
more and Ohio. Entrance to Washing
ton by the way of Riverton junction
and the Manassas branch of the South
ern would, it is said, put the Norfolk
and Western on a very much better
footing than it is at present, so far as
Washington traffic is concerned. AT the
same time, the Southern could handle
it much better over that route than over
the main line. The double track to
Manassas is about ready for traffic, and
the branch road from that point is not
heavily loaded with business like the
main line. At the same time the work
of double tracking the Southern between
Manassas and Orange makes new de-
mands on the main line OF the Southern,
which is already carrying more business
than il can conveniently handle.

clared that he would not accept the Repub-

Yates is entirely right about it. He won't
accept the vice presidential nomination He
has gone on a sea voyage by the unanimous
consent Of every elector in illinois, The doc

continued: The strength of Yates and his

Monday of last week, when about twelve
out Of sixteen Judges of the Lorimer and

Mr.. Mason was asked as to the presiden-

King Edward will confer the royal gold
medal given each year TO a leading architect
| OF the world one Charles f. McKim the
man who remodeied the White House and

President.
As this medal is given annually to some
one who has accomplished eminent work
it is presumed that King Edward thinks
Mckim's renovation of the White House a
signal feat. Some of the officials iocularly
suggest that this medal is Mr.. McKim's
reward for reproducing the chapter-room
by Sir Christopher Wren in Westminster
Abbey as an appropriate design for the
state dining room.
The news that King Edward intended to
honor him was conveyed to Mr.. McKm
through the British Ambassador. Sir
Michael Herbert. The medal will be given
on the I'D of June when the King will at
tend the annual meeting at the Royal In
