SOUTHERN AND M. & 0.
CONSOLIDATE JULY |.
This Is the OmciaPs Plan as 1t
at Present.

Atlanta, May 25.-The Southern Rail-
way and the Mobile and Ohio Railway
will consolidate July 1 if there is no
hitch in the present plans of the man
agelnent of these roads.
This information has not yet been
officially announced, but it is learned
on good authority that such is the in
tention of the controlling interests.
The Southern has owned a majority
of the stock of the Mobile and Ohio
for some time, and it was the inter-
ton to consolidate them in April, but
the fact that there was considerable
legislative excitement at that time in
the state of Mississippi caused the
management of the Southern to post
pone the matter. 1t is probable that
the name of the Mobile and Ohio will
be used no longer than July, and that
thereafter the lines composing that
system will be operated undar the
name of the Southern Railway Com
Dany.

PALMA APPROVES
Regulations for the Collection of
Taxes in Cubn.

IHNeH IN Oubn.
Havana, May 25.-President Palma
has approved the regulations for the
collection of the stamp taxes and the
taxes on liquors, tobacco sugar and
matches, which are intended to meet
the payment of the interest on the pro-
Jected $35,000,000 loan. The collection

HONEST MAN FOUND
5000 IN OLD WALLET
Was Claimed by a Mrs. Golf
Of Newark-Reward to
Finder

Shortly after o'clock on Saturday
afternoon. W. 7. Ward Of Cherry Hill,
Nd. picked up a woman's ohatelain
bag while waiting for a train at the
Delaware avenue station OF the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad and without
examining the contents of the bag
turned It over to Telegrapher w. r.
Din. The latter looked into the bag
and found a smaller pocketboOk con-
tanning as he first supposed 70 cents,
but further examination revealed the
fact that the purse contained much
more. In a little compartment neatly
folded were three one hundred dollar.
two twenties. two tens and one FIVE
dollar bill. Both men looked in Won
der at each other.
When Mr.. Ward came to Wilmington
this morning he inquired of Telegraph
er Dill if the money had been claimed
and found out that it had. AS a re-
ward for his honesty a five-dollar bill
had been left for him. but still the old
man did not feel satisfied.
When seer by a reporter OF the
Evening Journal this morning Mr..
Ward said that he was afraid the

turned his find over to Telegrapher Dill
and both began talking about it a
suspicious looking character was stand
ing near taking in all that was said.
Nothing could stop that fellow from
getting some woman to claim the mon
ey explaining to her everything he had
heard, so that she would be able to
easily identify the chatelaine bag and
it's contents. The old gentleman seem
ed considerably worried over the mat
ter and the reporter called up Mr.. Dill
by telephone. The latter said that
Mrs. +. Golf of Newark. Delaware, had
identified the bag and it's contents in
every detail. showing without a doubt
that the bag and its contents belonged
to her.
While Ward received S5 for his hon.
esty Dill failed 10 realize anything.

him 70 burn wilkerson out, and that
he did SO. Seller and McGee were both
arrested.
