Washington, Aug 19.-The principal
feature of the cabinet meeting today
was the submission of a report by
Secretary Taft upon the result Of his
investigation into the contract be-
tween the Panama Railway company
and the Pacific Mail Steamship COM
pany. The secretary found that al
though the government possessed
sixty nine-seventieJh' 5 of the stock Of
the first company, which stock is
now in his possession, it viii probably
be impossible to effect a change in the
directorate of the railroad company be-
fore next April, when the annual meet
ing occurs. The directorate showed no
disposition TO terminate the contract
with the steamship company which is
alleged TO be discriminatory, although
the contract Itself is terminable upon
six months notice.

Joseph T. Kent, the subject of this
| sketch. was born in Fulton County,
Georgia, seventy-six years ago, and re-
sided there until about fifteen years of
age. when he removed with hts faith
er's family, to Columbus, and entered
the employ of the cotton mills of that
city. He at once showed an especial
aptitude for cotton manufacturing, and
before he reached his majority was oc-
cupying an important and responsible
position in textile manufacture.
At the age of RI he removed to Pratt
Vile. Ala, and became connected with
the Prattville Manufacturing Co.. in the
capacity of overseer of the weaving
department. which position he retained
for many years.
Soon after making his home in Pratt
Vile he was Joined in marriage to Miss
Martha A. Gray who. with. six sons
and one daughter, survive him.
During the civil war he was detailed
by the Confederate government as a
manufacturer for the army. with place
of business in Talladega County, this
State, where he lived until the close of
the struggle between the States.
In 1859 he returned to Prattville and
soon after became superintendent of
the cotton mills there, occupying that
position for about seventeen years,
when he removed to this city, where
he has since resided until his death,
which occurred shortly after o'clock
on the evening OF the 22nd inst.
j. T. Kent was a man who possessed
in a marked degree those traits which
go to form natures noblemen. Kind
and courteous to all with whom he
was thrown. both in his business and
social life. quiet and unassuming, yet
ever ready to defend what he conceived
to be the right, he gained the respect
OF all. and the high esteem in which he
was held was attested by the many
friends who followed his remains to
their last resting place in lakewood
Cemetery on yesterday afternoon.
Early in life Mr.. Kent had Joined the
Masonic order, ana at the time of his
death was a Royal Arch Mason, and the
beautiful and impressive burial SER
vices of that order was observed when
his body was consigned to the earth.

tives this writer who had known and
loved him for years, would say, Our
loss is his gain" NJ. C..
