Gould and Cassatt.


No local confirmation can be had Of
the reports from Philadelphia TO the
effect that the troubles between the
Wabash and the Pennsylvania systems
have been settled, but the belief is they

Loree. of the Baltimore and Ohio. 10
take something better. and a number OF
similar matters OF equal importance IN
the railroad world
At times these rumors were hotly and
persistently denied. but In the end II
was proved the men who started them
knew what they were talking about In
the case OF the Pennsylvania and the
Wabarh. the railroad world generally

Gould and Cassatt shake hands and
make up.
For more than a year there has not
been a minute when the presidents or
lines in the territories contiguous TO
the combatants did not expect war
involving all kinds OF hostilities TO
break out
The little fellows did not know at
what moment one of the giants might
decide that his little system would be
needed in the big game of chess which
two of the strongest figures in the
world of finance were playing.
This condition naturally disturbed the
greatest railroad sections Of the coun-

utter discontinue Of the machine, which
10 a man. is lined up behind the can

Jones Hears From Home.
For instance. the petition from Mont

county. This is the home OF Col. Spen-
Ger G Jones. president Of the Senate
and a dycd-in-the-wool part of the Cor
man machine. Jones is banker at
Rockville.
Upon chat petition appeared the name
of every stakeholder OF his bank. all the
directors. nine-tenths of his customers.
and the great mass Of Democrats who
have supported him politically for TWEEN
" YEARS.
This monster petition was presented
to Senator Jones and the members of
the House of Delegates from Mont
gomery in the Senate chamber on Tues
day evening, and the scene was a most
Impressive one. There were a half
hundred of the best citizens Of Mont
