New York, Feb. 19.—a railroad man
who has special acquaintance with the
affairs of the Richmond and Terminal
system, says Jay Gould’s action in se
curing an option on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, has had its effect The
Pennsylvania has decided to give the
Bichmoud Terminal people steam heat
and type-writers, and ladies’ maids, if
they like, on the trains of the Piedmont
Air-lane—in fact, everything that the
Pennsylvania advertises for its Chicago
limited, and the Richmond and Danville
will get two through trains daily out
from New York, to be made up of Rich
mond and Danville cars. The other de
mand is for several fast freight trains
that will place the Piedmont Air-Line
on the same footing with the Atlantic
Coast-Line. The passenger for Atlanta
via the Pennsylvania railroad now has
to chance cars at Washington, unless he
is m a sleeping oar. The Richmond and
Danville people are tired of two through
sleepers a day. Hereafter they will get
two solid vestibule trains, and it will be
practically the same as if the Richmond
and Danville people owned an entrance
into New York.
It may be assumed from this state
ment that a complete understanding was
reached at a conference held between
Vico President Frank Thomson of the
Pennsylvania and President John H.
Inman of the Richmond Terminal sys
tem at the headquarters of the Trunk
Line association.
Cincinnati, Feb. 19.—Through pas

Indianapolis, Feb. 19.—There is good
authority for ths statement that tho first
step toward the purchase of the Motion
has been taken in the formation of
close traffic alliance, which places $1,-
500,000 in tbs hands of the new Motion
people. One-third of this is to be used
in properly equipping the road bed, the
Brice syndicate taking the unsold first
mortgage bonds amounting to $1,875,000.
The road will bo used as the Chicago
line for the East Tennesse, Virginia and
Georgia via Now Albany, and of the
Queen and Crescent via Cincinnati and
Indianapolis. There is no evidence of
an early change in management, but it
is prophesied that before January 1 the
Lake Erie and Western, new Monon and

Cincinnati, Feb. 19.— It lias developed
that an enterprising eastern firm ha*
agents scatterud throughout this and
other cities making contracts to supply
physicians and druggists with Koch’s
lymph at very reasonable rates.
One of the “agents” for the lymph
states that 10,000 ounces of the lymph
have been sold within the past twe
months, the price to the retailer being $5
per ounce, while druggists will be en-
rhled to dispose of the stuff at $7.50 per
ounce, tilths making a fair profit.
The enterprising firm will provide the
purchaser of the fluid with hypodermic
syringes with which to make injections.
It is estimated that one eastern firm haa
made $50,000outof the sale of the lymph
and the rumors that the country is to be
flooded with a cheap grade cf the great
tuberculosis cure has created consible of
a stir among m 'inbers of tho medical
profession, interested in the experiments
with Koch’s remedy.

that the tracklayers will work with re

The landslides along the road from

believe the track is reasonably clear
