A Nashville special of Saturday

says:
The conference here today be-
tween the State Railroad Commits
sion and officials of the Louisville
and Nashville, of the Illinois Cen
tral and of the Nashville, Chatta-
nooga and St Louis Railways was
remarkable only for its brevity.
For some time it has been con-
ceded that the roads would agree
to inaugurating the Alabama pas
senger fare system in this State,
and to abide by the decision of the
Alabama courts, inasmuch as the
same points are at Issue.
Pursuant to this agreement, rat
fled at the conference today, be-
ginning April /, these three rail
roads will charge 3 cents mile for
passenger fares, as at present, but
will give q coupon with each tick
ct emitting purchasers to rebates
of ! cent per mile, if the Alabama
courts finally decide against the
railroads.

that Governor Patterson has such
a hold on the State committee that
whatever is done by its members
next Thursday will amount to but
an enactment of the Governors
wishes at the time.
AT present he is prepared to de-
ny the people the general primary
which they are demanding, and to
set up for them instead a. plan
which wi illgive greater license and
opportunity to his machine.

tone was carried through the chill
dren's exercises, as well as in the
minister's sermon. The songs, recitar
tons, marches and class exercises
passed in well preserved odder, with
out even an announcement, and with
perfect precision. The program testi-
fed not only to marked talent upon
the part of the young performers, but
to careful and systematic training by
the adults in charge.
The financial apportionment from
headquarters for the Bisbee Sunday
school was $500, but a missionary
fire was kindled. and the Offering
mounted up to s51.S2.
The young ladies' class had taste.
