an’s Christian Tetufierauce Union in sev-
eral striking and beautiful illustrations,
^
and of the great association’s aim to
strive “for God, for home and native

most able manner, deploring the fact
that so much wus said about the eight-
hour man and nothing about the six¬
teen-hour woman.
The address was written in a bright,
heavy interesting style, with that carried nothing
or prosy- it, but was enter¬
taining ana attractive throughout.

convention sang, as with one voice,
“Nearer My God to Ti.

weeks ago. The scene was a pretty one.
Each little singer wore a white ribbon
upon her breast, and the singing was
distinct and sweet.

He alluded to Senator Ingalls’ remark
“that the ten commandments and the
sermon on the Mount” were no longer
necessary in American politics.
Governor W. J. Northen’s address of

I TOBACCO GROWERS’ CONVENTION.
The Action or the farmer* Iritlrlaed b>

\VtkrrhotiM9M4ii.
Louihvillk, Kv., Nov. 15. —The action
of the Tdxicco Growers’ Convention, at
solidate Lexington, d in deciding to fight thin the con¬
warehouses of city and
Cincinnati is not causing any unenainew
to those w arehousemen who are in the
combination. At least, so Alley aar.
They build think the scheme for the growers
to an immense establishment for
the sale of their tobacco is iuipraetilde
because Lexington, where thev believe
it will be placed, is not central enough
to cause a favorable freight tariff to lie
made. Mr. Albert S. Willis and Mr.
of Henry the big Ulover, the principal promoters
company are in New- York te
arrange for placing the stocks and I muds
nf tiie consolidation.
Said Mr. William P. Johnston:
“I tliink the tobacco growers have
taken a hasty step and that they will ao
look upon it after sober and matare edn-
siderution. Of course (lie Very word
consolidation' is like crying wolf' to the
average Tanner, and they look upon the
scheme only as a gigantic company, or¬
ganized solely and exclusively for
Benefit of warehousemen; - Is reality,
the consolidation gives them a better
market and makes lighter the
and expenses of selling their tobacco.
The new warehouse, should they build
it, would not save them any thing, be¬
cause their tobacco would lie under more
expense, and there would not- lie the
competition riile for it that existir far Lottie-
and Cincinnati. Lexington is not
central enough, aud farmers up in eaat-
ern portion Kentucky and down would in seonJlnd the western that
of tiid state
a market so far away would cause a
considerable item in freight rates. While
I am not jiarticuiariy interested in the

for the farmers, as well as the
^warehousemen. Will think The before tobacco the growers of

is a practical railroad man, and. like
myself, wants to bring about a stable
condition of things among the great west¬

the Union Pacific does that mean a prog¬
ress toward a big combine, that shall in¬
clude the Southern Pacific, Union Pacific
and Missouri Pacific roads and tiie Atchi¬

Mr. Huntington replied; “I am in
favor of a consolidation, and have gone
ao far as to offer to consolidate. I told

Lu isviua, Nov. IS.—Another mail
robtwry 1ms just been committed to this
city, in which a mail pouch was taken
from the trucks at the Fourteenth street
depot and rilled of its contents.
The pouch that was stolen arrived in
this city at 6 o’clock p. m., over Uie Air
Line from St. Louis. It was handed
from the mail car by the agent, and
placed upon the trucks, which stood at
the southeast corner of the depot.
Herman Hcck is the day porter in the
baggage room, and it is his duty to haul
the moil inside. Baggage Master Norton
and his assistant, John Sweeney, were
to the off ice, o nly a few feet away. The
other employes were busy on the side¬
walk receiving the mails, and the truck
was left unguarded few a time. There
and ware when a large wheslad-dnsida number of pouches in a pile,
it was not no-
ticed thsFSBewas missing. The mail
sacks in this lot were to be transferred
to the Tenth street depot to go out on the
8:05 o’clock train for Knoxville.
A fow minutes before the mail wagon
drove up, several little boya came run¬
