ADJUSTMENT OF RAILROAD
DIFFERENCES

Virginia State officials and rep
resentatives of the railroads have
decided upon an adjustment OF the
two-cent passenger rate salts
factory to all parties. The conclu-
sion Of negotiations was reached
Saturday night, after day Of con-
ferences in which each side played
for the highest stakes. The agree
ment decided upon was that the
railroad officers have consented to
obey the laws of the State and OF
the Corporation Commission. who
promulgated the two.cent rate, by
agree ng to put the law into effect
on or before October 1st, next. This
amicable adjustment of grave diff
ferences has been received all over.
the State with manifest pleasure.
The controversy had reached an
acute stage, and in all sections of
Virginia the popular feeling was
pronounced against the railroads.
This opposition was so general as to
lead to the conclusion that the
people all over the State had be-
come so thoroughly aroused against
railroads and other corporations
that they would no longer look
with indifference upon what they
considered a usurpation of theif
rights. Therefore, it was With Pc
culiar pleasure it was learned that
the mat er had been ended salts
factorily to all concerned.
While the agreement reached
may he only temporary, still 1t
shows that there is disposition
on the part of the railroads to
comply with the wishes of the
people. Certainly such compliance
can only result in mutual adven-
tage. 1t has been asserted, and it
may be true, that the railroads
came to terms only after the
was forced upon them
that Governor Swanson would
call an extra session Of the Legis-
lature to enforce the action or the
Commission. He had
his plans laid for calling that
tody together, and had the rail .
roads not given in to his demands, +
the Legislature would have passed /
laws to make effective the action
Of the Corporation Commission. y

Typhoid Fever IN Williamsburg
The leading editorial Prticle il
last weeks issue OF the Virginia
Gazette of Williamsburg, had ref
erence to the sanitary condition OF
that towE. After stating that, ac-
cording to q physician's report
there are already twelve cases OF
typhoid fever in Williamsburg,
that two deaths had already occur.
rcd and that the disease is in n
malignant form, the Gazette says:
"Now it is evident that there j.
something radically wrong with
the sanitary condition. No doubt.
the stopping up of the open ditches
by the digging for gas mains, and
the grading for the macadam-
lied street and granolithic side
walks have had deleterious effect
on the health of the community.
This, in addition to the cold, back
ward spring with an unusually
heavy rainfall combine 70 breed
