RAILROAD WORLD.

The agencies of the Rock Island-Frisco system will be consolidated at several leading points on the first of the new wear. All of the details of the consoll- dation have been worked out at joint interference of the freight and passenger traffic departments.
 In Atlanta, I. c. Tipton, at present the commercial agent of the Rock. Island, will act Jointly for the Rock Island- Frisco:. c. F. Austin. who is the com mercial agent, will be transferred to Jacksonville from Atlanta and will act as joint agent for the Rock Island and for the Frisco.
 C.5L. Eggleston, commercial agent for the Frisco at New Orleans, is transferred to Richmond and I. T. Preston will act as joint agent for the Frisco-Rock Island at New Orleans.
 These are the important changes so far announced in the south. At Omaha the Frisco offices are to be closed, the travel ing freight and passenger agents at Kan sas City looking after the business at that point
 There seems but little doubt but what the Rock Island-Frisco will acquire the Tennessee Central railroad from Harri- man to Hopkinsville. The officers and directors of the Frisco are scheduled to make a trip of inspection over the Ten nessee Central railroad one day this week. This trip is considered practically the forerunner of the requirement of the rall- road.
 It has been believed for some time that the Tennessee Central would pass into the hands of a larger system. It was figured that the Illinois Central, the Southern or the Rock Island-Frisco would purchase the independent line.
 Colonel Jere Baxter of Nashville was until recently president of the Tennessee Central, being succeeded by J. c. Van Blarcom of St. Louis. g.. Louis capi- talists now practically control the road
 Announcement is made of the appoint ment of John Wood as travelling passen- ger agent of the Queen and Crescent route with headquarters at Meridian. Mir. Wood, who was formerly agent for the vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific railroad, succeeds Edmund Shelby, re- aigiied
 Newt Baird, travelling passenger agent for the Cotton Belt, with headquarters in Atlanta, was in Birmingham yester- day.

Garrett, general manager of the Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific Cincinnati Southern and Alabama Great Southern railroads), will receive re- ports after the 18th inst. from the gen. eral freight agents and others now re- porting to the third vice president. It is understood that MT. Murphy will be in charge of terminals at Cincinnati, and will also receive reports from MT. Gar rett
 There is rumor also heard that W. w. Finley will likely be elected shortly to the position of vice president of the Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pa cific railway. This would place him in a stronger position with the Southern railway

Exceeded Authority.

Attorney General w. B. Douglas
filed an opinion with State Auditor S.
u. lverson that the last legislature
exceeded its authority in providing
that horses afflicted with CHAMBERS
shall be appraised by the state live
stock sanitary board without taking in
to consideration the fact that they are
in diseased condition. Mr.: Douglas
holds that the legislature had no right
to provide that the board pay more
than the actual value of the horses,
and that in arriving at the actual value
the appraisers must consider the fact
that the animals are diseased
The live stock sanitary board has
killed many horses afflicted with gland
ers, and the state auditor has received
several claims for three-fourths of the
amount of the appraised value of the
animals in accordance with chapter al
of the laws of 1908.
