Origin Of the Congress.

The origin of the International Railway
Congress dates from 1885. when a scientific
congress met at Brussels to celebrate the
fiftieth anniversary of the inauguration of
Belgian railways. In June, 1884, COM
mission of railway officials was appointed
by NJ. Olin, then minister for public works
in Belgium, to draw up a program for the
celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the
original railway law.
This was the Origin of the body which has
since eXerted powerful influence in the
dissemination of knowledge of railway
matters and in unifying practice, especially
among the railways of Europe. 1t has from
the beginning been largely favored by the
government of Belgium, and among it's Of
ffcials have always been those who have
been highest in the railway administrations
of that country Its president is now Ar
thur Dubois, honorary director of the Bel
gian state railways, and executive Official
in various companies whose interests are al
lied to those of railways. The vice presi
dents are Alfred Picard, president of the
section of public works, agriculture, COM
merce and industry of the state council of
France, and who was commissioner general
of the exposition of 1900, and Ramaeckers,
secretary general of the department of
railways, posts and telegraph of Belgium,
and president of the council of state rail-

CANNON FIRED.
Telephone Messenger Caught Tapping
the Till.

Stanield Cannon, a boy about fifteen
years old, is not now a messenger in the
service Of the Cumberland Telephone
Company.
For some time he had been suspected
Of putting his fingers too far into the
cash drawer, and he was caught in the
act Tuesday night by Police Office Sam
Cobbs. When the telephone people
wen to supper OF hat evening Officer
Cobbs was posted in a little room near
where the money drawer is, and watched
through a hole in a partition. 1t was
not long before he saw the young man
open the drawer and take several dol
lars, and Immediately arrested him.
Young Cannon then confessed that he
had been taking money daily from the
company for some time, and it is believed
that the mount will reach s~eventy-five
dollars. Superintendent Foster Hume
happened to be in the city, and he at
n C dismissed the boy from the employ
Of the company, but will not prosecute
him because he does not believe that
children should be confined anywhere
except in the house Of reform.

the poor. exhibitions of several plays Of
it's kind and the lateness of the season
it never had the audience it deserved.
Mr. Lewis carries of his role in perfect
manner and is ably assisted by the rest
Of the company.
Next Sunday, the first Sunday in April,
begins Pastor Burr's fourth year as pas
tor of the Baptist church Of this place.
He announces a sermon suited to the
occasion, with a review Of the work Of
the past three years, and asks for a full
attendance of the members and friends
Of the church. The evening hour, be-
ginning at 1880, will be devoted a song
service, led by the choir. The public is
invited.

HOLDING Cotton.

s1OsOssS3 OOS&Vsss
The formation Of the Brown pool with
a capital Of ten million dollars to sup
port the cotton market, by assisting
farmers and others to retain their hold
ings, until the price reaches a satisfact-
DRY level, is n Of the most promising
developments of the cotton agitation.
1t is under the direction of men who
know their business; who are directly
interested in the success of the move
ment and who have proved the skill in
conflict with the bears.
The surplus cotton now in the inter-
ior, in first, or second hands, is the reli-
ance Of the bears to fill their summer
contracts; the mills will take all in sight,
now at the ports, between this date and
next summer; If this interior cotton can
be held, the holders Of it can fix the
price; if not the bears will fill their con-
tracts at a profitable leisure. That con-
tingent never sleeps; they are today APP
prehensive of the consequences of the
present agitation and will gather in
every bale of spot cotton offered below
the summer price at which they con-
tracted to deliver. Will interior hold
ers help this contingent or will they
help themselves? Will they sacrifice
their produce for the benefit of the
spectators, or will they hold it for their
own and the common benefit.
The means for holding are now present
and available; it is not necessary for
anyone to sell at prevailing prices; there
is money enough in the south to finance
the holding movement and it will be
forthcoming with the cotton for securi-
ty. 1t is, therefore, uncomfortable that
the volume of port receipts should con
tinue to depress the market.-Exchange.

two males and one female. One of the
dogs is all white except left ear, one
has black head and tan spots. Female
is white with the exception Of the right
side of her head. A liberal reward will
be paid for their return or for any infor-
nation leading to their recovery. w.
