Washington, October 13—Mr. La
mar offered a resolution requesting the
President to advise tlic Senate whether
any action has been taken by the govern'
xnent since the last session of the Senate
toward protecting the rights and interests
of the United States in tho project of an
Inter-oceanic canal at Panama. Laid on
the table for future action.
Mr. Edmunds called up his resolution
continuing the standing committees oi the
Senate as they were constituted at the
last session.
Mr. Garland offered an amendment pro
viding that only the following committees
should be continued: Foreign relations,
finance, commerce, military affairs, Judi
ciary, post-offices and post roads, public
lands, pensions and ludian affairs, lie
contended that the committees named
were Die only ones which would have
any work to do during the special session.
Edmunds opposed the amendment. There
were committees which were not provided
for which, in his opinion, would be nec
essary in order to perform the work of tho
action, lie instanced the committee on
pr.vileges and elections as one which
should be organized. There was on the
table now a petition, presented by tho
Senator from New Jersey, (Mcl’lierson),
said to seriously affect the right of a Sen
ator from New York to a seat in this
body, that ought to be inquired into.
Then there was tho committee on
Jlroads which might have work to do.
Q^ras known from public report that
ieiiu‘ rc had been an important officer sus-
, e i 0 .ided for some supposed failure to per-
ve/ wm his duty, and by law it was required
.that such suspension should be reported
to the Senate. The committee on contin
gent expenses was also necessary.
Mr. Garland stated that he would mod
ify his amendment so as to continue the
committees on privileges and elections
and contingent expenses. lie thought
that it would then include all the com
mittees which it was necessary to organize
at this time. Mr. Garland’s amendment
was rejected—yeas 35, nays 37; Mr. Davis,
of Illinois, and Mr. Mahone voting with
the Republicans.
Mr. Edmunds’ resolution was then
adopted—yeas 37, nays 33. The stand
ing committees aro therefore continued
as constituted at Die iast session, and tho
President pro tem. is authorized to fill
ary vacancies which may exist. As soon
os the result was announced, Mr. Logan
rose and offered a resolution for the elec
tion of David Davis, Senator from Illi
nois, as President pro tem. of the Senate.
Mr. Pendleton asked that the resolution
lie over one day under the rules, and
was so ordered. Tlie Senate then, atv
p. m., went into executive session.
On the reassembling of the Senate,
Pendleton withdrew his objection to
consideration of tho resolution contem
plating tbe election of Sir. Davis Presi
dent pro tan.
Mr. Jones, of Florida, spoke in opposi
tion to the adoption of Die resolution, but
it was adopted, and Mr. Davis was chosen
President pro tem., and was escorted to
Die chair by Messre. Bayard and An
thony.
Mr. Jones, of Florida, opposed tbe reso
lution. He said that before tbe resolu
tion was submitted to a vote he wished to
reiterate a protest which lie had once
made here on this subject by denying tbe
power of the Senate to do this tiling. It
was said that this question was no longer
open—that a precedent bad been estab
lished iti the forty-seventh Congress by
which the right of tbe Senate to choose at
will its presiding officer had been affirm
ed. He hoped that that action of Die
Senate wonld not be rega.ded as a
ev< precedent. Congress by an act of 1702
i o: bad declared that the presiding officer of
es • the.Scnate should succeed in certain con
tingencies to tbe office of President of the
,'mem-
""of Repre-
lurgeons who attended

bo
Conkllaa*a Insulting Message to Gar-
•( tbe Chicago Convention.
Grand Rapid* (Mich J Tim**.
From the Eagle of yesterday we excerpt
the following:
“The Dayton (O.) Journal mentions _
little Incident of tho Chicago convention
which seems to show that Senator Conk-
ling foresaw the outcome from nearer the
beginning than many others. It was an
incident in which Conkling and Garfield
one for Grant and tho other for Sherman
were the characters, and is related as fol
lows :
“Among the late President Garfield’
papers whl probably be found a little
memorandum from Roscoe Conkling to
him in pencil, written in the hall of the
national convention at Chicago, In about
these words:
“ ‘My Dear Garfield: If there is to be _
dark horse in this convention, there is no
person whom I would prefer before your-
»elf. Conkling.”
‘“Thereply was:
“‘My Dear Conkling .* There will H
no dark horse in this convention. I am
for Sherman. J. A. Gabfikld.”
“‘This was pending the great struggle
and just before the mighty tornado which
carried Garfield into tne Presidency—and
the grave.’ ”
Our esteemed contemporary must needs
forego such pleasure as it may derive from
fancying that “Conkling loresaw the out
come.” We were fortunate enough to
have been present at tho Chicago conven
tion, and to liave seen the incident which
gave rise to the abqvo item. Conkling
arrogant, able, presuming, peacocky, and
plucky—was trying to throttle all opposi
tion by passing a gag law binding all dele
gates to support the nominee ol the con
vention. A delegate from West Virginia—
be who replied to tho sneering inquiry
to ids identity made by the turkey gobbler
from New York by saying he was tbe man
who made a hundred speeches for Hayes
in tho last campaign, while Conkling was
making but one—opposed tho motion, hut
just before it was put Gen. Garfield came
to the irout and made his famous plea for
peace. The waters were troubled for a
time, but the oil poured by the politic
Senatoz-elect from Ohio quieted them,
and the motion was withdrawn. It was
at this moment that Conkling turned to
General Garfield a face flaming with in
dignation and impudence. As the Gene
ral took his seat with tho Ohio delegation
Conkling impetuously pulled from his
pocket a card and wrote something upon it.
Calling a page he sent tho card to Garfield
who glanced over it, tore it into pieces, am
threw them upon the floor. Having no
ticed tho affair, we were curious about
the contents of tho card, and when tho
convention adjourned explained to a
journalistic friend, who was upon tho
floor oi tho house, the circumstances. He
found the card. Upon it was the single
sentence, with no address or signature:
“Is this the dark horse putting himself
forward ? ”
The occurrence made a marked impres
sion upon us at the time, and since then
we have narrated it upon several occa
sions. Wo tell the story again only be
cause it is being presented in a distorted
light by several contemporaries.

Tlie Florida Dlmtoa Purchase.
A correspondent ot the Pine Level Ad
vertiser has interviewed Capt. F. A. Hen
dry, who recently penetrated the saw
rass of the upper Caioosahatchce to Lake
ikeecbobee. -‘The object of the expedi
tion into tho great saw grass,” said Capt.
Hendry, “was to erect two tripods or ob
servatories, one on the shore of Hick-
pochee lake, and one on Okeechobee lake
shore, which lie succeeded in doing under
many trials and difficulties. He states
that the water is high, but nothing to
compare with the freshet of 1877. Cap
tain U. employed Captain C. W. Thomp
son, with tlie steam launch Mamate, and
succeeded in steaming up the Catoosa-
hatched, through a small canal which
lie had opened about two years
;o into Hickpochee, but tho resistance
saw-grass and other aquatic vegetation
preventrd him from penetrating with the
steamer further. As to the practicability
of the draining scheme, lie says it is a big
thing, a big undertaking, and that while
he believes it may be done, he think!
Mr. Disston ere he accomplishes the work
will think often of his great saw factory
and prefer to deal in iron and steel rather
than saw-grass, mud and mosquitoes. He
says the quality of tbe laud is certainly
very extra when drained, bciug entirely a
rich bed of vegetable mould, and that it
is so level that to drain one aero is to
drain several millions. That the water is
at tins time from three to four feet
deep over the entire body, and tlie only
natural escape is by stow seepage and
solar evaporation. That Die Catoosa*
hatebee has all it cau do to take care of
her own water, and to effectually drain
tlie lake and its surroundings, a’cut must
be made into the Atlantic ocean; while
he fully believes it can and will be done,
he contends that there must not be any
child’s play, that a strong determined
effort must be made, in proportion to the
magnitude of the undertaking. One
thing he to sure of, that is certain and
sure - navigation across tho peninsula
of Florida, which of itself will teud
to develop the resources of the lower
sninsula. Speaking of the great
uisstou purchase, of four million
acres of laud, lie thinks it a wise step on
the yart of the present administration,
aud that it will tend to prompt Mr. Diss
ton and his associates to carry out the
drainage scheme which tlioy have con
tracted. That while lie has paid one
million dollars for four million acres of
picked over and refused lands, half a
million will reclaim every foot of over
flowed land around Okeechobee lake; one
township of which will be worth, in actual
value, more than the whole four million
purchased. He states that the most prac
ticable route for a drainage canal is to
start at Fort Thompson and follow tbe
couiso of Lake Flirt to its head, from
thence due east into Hickpoclieo Lake,
from thence across the lake five miles
east to Die eastern shore of tho lake,
from thence northeast to Lake Okeecho
bee. That the eutlre cutting besides the
usual straightening of the channel of the
river will be about six miles tbrongh soft
mud, three to Ilickpoocbee {hen tbree to
Lake Okeechobee. .This, when, com
pleted, whether it drains tho land or not,
lives a ready transit all the way to Ta-
lopetalaga lake, the head of the Kissim
mee, where it connects with tho South
Florida railroad, now being constructed
from Sanford, on the St. Johns, to Char-
lotto Harbor via Bartow and Fine Level.
UeMIi of* Woman Wltb a History.
Mary Ann Marshall, whose life is cu
riously linked with the history of Phila
delphia and with tho names of several of
its most prominent men, died on Wednes
day, In her 04th year, at Masonville, N.
J. She was bora at 50 Chestnut street,
on the 4th of July, 1788, at tbe moment
that the procession In honor of the ratifi-.
cation of the constitution - of
tlie United States (known in his
tory as tlie great Federal procession) was
passing the door. She was the daughter
ol Charles Marshall*. Her grandfather,
Christopher Marshal), who came to this
country shortly after the landing of Penn,
was the first druggist in Philadelphia, and
during its occupation by the British was
tho only apothecary in the city. Upon the
death of her fatbor Mary Ann Marshall
and her sister managed the drug store.
His name is Stewart, and he wanted to
> gunning with some bigger boys yester-
ay. They refused him permission, and
the boy’s mother declined to let him go.
But when the young sportsmen were well
off the youngster stole out and tried the
smart caper of burying himself in some
underbrush along the track of his longed-
for companions. When they were in just
easy range be was enterprising enough to
flay jack-in-the-box, and so he kept bob-
)ing his head up and down, accompany
ing each elevation with a growl. The
eager huntsmen, supposing they bad got a
sure “drop” on a woodchuck, both blazed
away, and with such excellent effect that
one of them scored in the boy’s head and
the other in a kneepan. Tlie boy will
probably recover, but his ideas of funny
antics have been modified.—-Boston Trav

“I wish you would tell me about the news of the run aways has been obtain-
way men get gold and silver out of a ed
mine, my dear,” said a lady in East Lar
amie, tbe other eveulng, to ,hcr husband,
aud he peeled off bis coat and sat down in
three chairs for the evening.
“Well, what kind of a mine do you
wish to hear about—gold or silver, quartz
or placer, deposit or refined lead?”
“Well, all of them briefly. I want to
know whether they scrape off tbe gold
from the under side of tbe ground, and
wash the dirt off in tbe creek, or how
it is.”
“Well, they don’t scrape off the under
side of thd ground exactly. There you
are in error. In placer mluiog they have
to collect the dust and pau it out with
gold pau."
“Ob, they have to use a gold pan, do
they. That must be what makes mining
so expensive. Does the pau have to be
solid gold?”
“No; it isn’t made of gold; it is simply
to pat gold, hence the name. In quartz
mining the prospector finds first the float,
and tracing it to the head, he begins to
dig for the purpose ot ascertaining how
extensive it ss, and what it will assay.”
“Ob, that is it. I thought they firs
bored into the ground with a pay s: reak
until they found the shaft, and then they
drifted for the assessment, and when they
found that they just put a blast in tho in-,
dicatious and salted the dump. Now, it
seems that you don’t do that way. You
follow up the micacioussait till you strike
the bias iold. Then you see if you can
find a color that matches with the copper-
stained trilohites that you can prospect,
and you—”
“No, I must stop you here; you are
getting a little off the vein. Yon proba
bly have the right idea, but you are using
terms that are not correct. After they get
the wall of the rock oh the the dump and
pinch out tho night shift, they salt the
contract and blast Die vertical chilblain.
Then they drift tor the blossom rock,baled

A Strange Story.
A strange story in connection with a
murder committed sixteen years ago is
contained in a letter from Batesvilie, Ar
kansas. James Baxter and his wife were
emigrating to Louisiana in 1805, and fell
in with a man calling himself Isaac
Young, when near the Louisiana bound
ary line. They encamped one night at
the head of a lonely glen, when both tho
men disappeared. Tlie deserted wife,
knowing that her husband had two thou
sand in gold on his person, was convinced
that lie had been murdered by Young, but
all her efforts to trace him or her husband
failed. She settled herself in a little hut
close to the scene of her husband's dis
appearance, and has lived there ever
since, waiting for tidings. Recently
she received a lttter dated Melbourne,
Australia, from a strauger, stating
that a man had died Uiere
who passed bv the name of Saunders, but
papers he had left behind him showed he
Wes Isaac Young, an Americau. The
papers included a confession of the mur
der of Baxter, and pointing out the place
where Lis body could he found. He further
stated that he had gone to “New Orleans
aud took passage for Australia, where he
speculated with great success. At his
death lie was quite wealthy, and ho di
rectcd that Mrs. Baxter should be search
ed for, and if living, paid $2,000, with in
terest from the date of the murder. Ho
also begged forgiveness for his crime. An
investigation proved that the information
was correct ns to the murder, for the re
mains of Baxter were found in the glen
aud decently burled. Mrs. Baxter has de
clined to accept the money, but she may
yet conclude to accept it if the murderer
is actually dead, which many people
doubt.
Keely Exhibits his Motor.—An ex
hibition of the Keely motor was given
Monday evening by tbe inventor, John W.
Keely, in his workshop in Philadelphia.
The large generator, or vibrator, as Keely
terms it, which has been described, was
first inspected. A glass of water, contain
ing less than a pint, was poured into a
;la>s tube, and Mr. Keely then pulled a
ever to start Die machine. Afoui>foot
arm of iron, which required, 2,000 pounds
pressure merely to lift, had been loaded
with 200 pound weights. The arm was
quickly thrown up by tho vibra
tory force. Mr. Keely explained,
and although he jumped with
all his force upon tho bar, as did several
other persons, they could not force it
down. It was claimed that the pressure
exerted upon the bar by the motor repre
sented fifteen thousand pounds to tho
square inch. After a number of minor
experiments with a tuning-fork, by which
the latter was made to vibrato by the mo
tor, Mr. Keely produced a small cannon,
which h? attached to the “vibrator” by a
small copper tube. He placed a one and
a quarter inch ball in tho barrel and pall
ed the lever. A tremendous explosion
followed, and tlie ball was projected
through two pine planks, each two inches
thick, aud flattened against an iron
dise which was leaning against the wall.
Six of these balls were flred at tho planks,
one after the other. An eHglne was then
connected with Die vibrator in order to
show the motive power, when the wheels
of tho former revolved with great rapidity.
Keely stated that his machine was all
complete with the exception ot a “vibra
tory brake” to check tho power. He
claimed that Uiere was too much power in
the motor, and that it would be necessary
to get it under coptrol. Tha only ex-
planaUon of his machine that ho made
was couched in language utterly incom
prehensible to any engineer. Tlie exhibi
tion, while quite interesting, did not ex
plain In any manner the mystery in which
tlie motor is envelope#.—Philadelphia

Ax English Wife’s Elopement
With a Coachman.—The elopement of
Mrs. Gurney with her groom, which scan
dalized England a generation ago, has
been paralleled by the flight of Mrs. Grant,
of Bodmin, In Cornwall, with her coach
man. The Pall Mall Gazette thus re
cites the case: “Major and Mrs. Grant
have lived at Bodmin since their marriage,
five years ago. They occasionally visit
Mr. Llttletou, Mrs. Grant’s brother, at bis
residence, Trewin Sbevlock, bringing
their coachman with them. It was while
on such a visit to Sbevlock that the elope
ment occurred. Major Grant has been In
the habit of spending his holidays in Can
ada, chiefly for the sport that country af
fords, Occasionally he has been accom
panied by his wife, but on his iast visit to
Canada, whence he recently returned, his
wife did not go with him. On Friday
morning last the Major and Mr. Littleton
went out about five o’clock for a day’s
cub-hunting. Mrs. Grant seem* to have
communicated this intention to the coach
man, and soon after the two gentlemen
bad set out the coachman drove off in a
light carriage to Torpoint. On reaching
tbe ferry they alighted, and the coachman
gave an ostler five sbii lings to take the
carriage back to Trewin House. The
boatman says that the couple bad with
them a box and portmanteau. Mrs. Grant
was wearing an ulster; the gentleman
was respectably dressed and not in livery.
On getting out of tbe boat a cab was call
ed aud they were driven off to Devonport
Southwestern Station. Mrs. Grant was
married when she was eighteen, and is
uow twenty-three. Her husband is forty.
She leaves behind her two children. She

Philadelphia, October 13.—Tbe fire
at Landerbergb’s mill last night, which
was so disastrous to life and property,
originated in the finishing room on tbe
second floor, and spread upward through
the building with amazing rapidity. About
forty-five of the bands, twelve of whom
were girls, were at work on this floor, but
the majority were engaged in the spin
ning and weaving departments on tbe
upper floors. Tbe wooden stairways at
either end of the building were soon
ablaze. The bridge connecting tbe build
ing with another mill was shut
from approach by fire-proof doors, and in
the absence of any fire escape a panic in
stantly ensued among the men and women
confined to the building. They rushed to
the windows, crying frantically to the
crowd below to save them.
It was proposed by -the crowd to form'
squares iu the street and catch the men
and girls as they leaped out, but before
anything could be done a young woman
leaped from tho fifth story. It seemed
that every bone in her body was broken,
for she never breathed again. After this
the imprisoned people seemed to become
frenzied, and although tbe crowd outside
sought to encourage them by shouting
that help would speedily be there, they
began jumping from tbe windows like
sheep.
One man, bereft of reason, flung him
self headlong to the street, and while his
body was still in tha air others followed.
First a mau aud then a woman or half-
grown girl, until, in a few minutes, eleven
human beings, one and all unconscious,
with fractured skulls-and broken limbs,
were carried by tender hands to a neigh
boring saloon, on tbe floor of which body
alter body was laid until vehicles were
rocured to carry them to the hospitals,
ly this time the relatives of the victims
began to gather outside the building, aud
tlie cries of mothers outside to their chil
dren still in the burning rooms, and their
lamentations over those who had jumped
and been utterly dashed to pieces, were
heartrending to bear.
When the firemen were able to enter tbe
building they found on Dio third floor the
bodies of two females burned almost to a
crisp and a man badly scorched and dead.
Before they could search further the
fourth floor, with its heavy machinery,
came crashing through, and they barely
escaped with their lives. Tbe firemen
were compelled to desist in their labor*
because tbe floors had gone through to tH
ground, and tbe machinery, charred wood
and what remained of the unfortunate
operative?, ten or a dozen, were mingled
together in an unrecognizable mass,
seething and sendiug out columns
of steam as cold water was poured’ on it.
Seven are known to be dead and twenty-
three injured—mostly young women. Tbe
victims were carried off in all directions,
some to tlieir Louiei, some to houses close
by, and others to the various hospitals, so
that their exact number canuot yet be
stated.
The physicians say Dial nearly every
one of the cases admitted to St. Mary’s
Hospital will result fatally. Tbe total
number of deaths will probably exceed
twenty, there being ten dead bodies in the
ruins. Had the fire occurred in daylight,
fully four hundred people would have
been compelled to fight for life with tbe
flames. Within an hour the flames were
brought under control, leaving the walls
standing, but the inside was completely
gutted out. Tho loss in property will
amount to $G5,000, to oflsel which there is
an insurance of $50,000. Some of the
workmen attribute the origin of the fire
to sparks from the electric light falling
among waste; others attribute the suddeu
spread to the influence of heated wires.
The same mill was burned in 1877. Two
bodies hare been recovered this morning
from the ruins.
Up to noon to-day the number of
dead bodies recovered, as reported to tbe
coroner, was eleven, of which five are at
the morgue, two at their homes and four
in St. Mary’s Hospital. The deputy
coroner visited the scene of the disaster
tliis morning and learned that the means
of escape from the building were inade
quate. The only theory of the origin of
the fire was that already advanced—tbe
electric light.
Philadelphia, October 13.—District
Attorney Graham said to-day, in regard
to the lire at Landerburgh’s mill last
night, that the owner of the mill can be
indicted for manslaughter for neglect or
refusal to put up fire escapes.

Having passed several sleepless nights,
disturbed by Die agonies ana cries of a
suffering child, and becoming convinced
that Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup was
just tho article needed, procured a supply
for the child. On reaching home and ac
quainting his wife with what he had done,
she refused to liave it administered to the
child, as she was strongly in fe.vor of ho
meopathy. That night the child passed
in suffering, and the parents without sleep.
Returning homo the day following, the
father found the baby still worse; and
whilo contemplating another sleepless
night, the mother stopped from the room
to attend to some domestic duties, and
left the father with the child. During ber
absence he administered a portion of the
Soothing Syrup to tbe baby, and said
nothing. That night all bands slept well,
and the little fellow awoke in tlie morn
ing brielit and happy. The mother waa
delighted with tho sudden and wonderful
change, and although at first offended at
the deception practiced upon her, has con
tinued to use the Syrup, and suffering
crying babies and restless nights have dis
appeared. A single trial of the Syrup
never yet failed to relieve tbe baby and
overcome the prejudices of the mother.

Atlanta, October 14,1881.
Editobs Telkobaph and Musnon:—
Tbe conference of the Railroad Commis
sioners of the several States, held in this
city on Tuesday and Wednesday, did not
formulate any plena for concerted action,
and only two or three advisory resolutions
to meet particular circumstances were
adopted. But the commissioners bad a
free interchange of views and experiences,
and no doubt each learned something that
will be serviceable in the discharge of the
delicate and important duties devolved on
these commissions.
You have seen a formal report of the
proceedings of the conference. Perhaps
a fuller statement of some of the views ex
pressed may be of interest. The subject of
railroad regulation by these agencies is one
of increasing interest, and this plan of reg
ulation seems to be gaining in favor. Per
haps on its suocess or failure will depend
the pressing of another sqV Tne, which cer
tainly does not commenifooself, except as a
choice of evils, to the people of the Sontb,
viz., that of the oontrol of the railroad sys
tem by Congress
In the debate s in the convention, Com
missioner Bragg, of Alabama, advocated
advisory commissions, as the railroads is
his State, he said, had done everything the
commission had asked.
Commissioner Wallace, ot Georgi a, who
is an old railroad manager, opposed tliis
view. He said ne did not believe that ad
vice to railroads was of any value, unless
each advice could be enforoed by law when
necessary. He asked the commissioner
from Alabama if lie did not believe that
the feai of a law, similar to the present
Georgia commission law, b.ing enacted at
the next session bf tho Alabama Legisla
ture, did not have a great deal to do in in
fluencing the railroads of hia State to aot
on the advice of its commission ? The A1
abama commissioner very promptly ac
knowledged -uch to be his belief.
Commissioner Kincaid, of Kentucky,
(who, by the way. is only 25 years old), felt
\WUUi UJ tUD WO) f u GUI/ JCtUS U1UA Cl If
certain that the Georgia Railroad Commis
sion’s reduction of passenger rates to three
cents per mile had a great deal to do with
Kentucky roads reducing fare.
Commissioner Bragg, in his remarks,
paid a glowing tribute to Major Wallace
i'or his integrity and knowledge.
Among other things Major Wallace said
he believed he was incapable of doing in
justice to either the railroads or the people.
Like all men, he was liable to errors, but
always ready to correct them. Ho believ
ed the rates given to Georgia railroads
were satisfactory to them; certain it was.
tlie roads were never more prosperous, nor
the people better satisfied. But the trouble
was the indisposition of corporations to
yield power u hen once held. In his judg
ment, with any less power than now held
under tbe Georgia law, the commission
conld have effected little that would have
been profitable to either the railroads or
the people.
Gov. Colquitt has appointed Hon. L. N.
Trammell a railroad commissioner, in the
place of Major Barnett, whoee term was
out, and who did not desire r -. reappoint
ment on account of his health/Hhe feeble
ness of which prevented him from attend
ing many ot the meetings ot the commis
sion during his late term. I am enabled to
state positively that the appointment of
Col. Trammell gives entire satisfaction to
the other commissioners. Ho is a gentle
man of ability and much practical good
sense, and will no doubt bring to the dis
charge of bis duties the same unselfish and
unprejudiced purpose to do justice to all
the interests involved that has actuated the
other commissioners. If he should, as
some apprehend, be rather too much in
clined to indulge or favor the railroads, it
is perhaps right enough that there should
be in the commission one man in whose
care for their rights and interests those
corporations liave confideuce.
The Georgia Commissioners do not seem
to think any general changes in rates are
needed at present, provided the railroads
will see that tho Georgia mauufacturiug
interests are properly protected. If that is
done, it is hardly probable any great change
in rates will be made nntil after the pres
ent cotton crop is moved. It is very prob
able that the commission will adopt tho
Southern Railway and Steamship Associa
tion’s classification, with bat very slight
changes. ___ M.
JOURNALISTIC BNTBRJPRMSB.
Tbe Peculiarities sad Policies of tbe
New York Papers—The Associated
Pres#
New fork Correspondent Baltimore Bun.
There are two papers in tbe country
that spend more money than tho Herald
for news by wire. They are the Chicago
Times and the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Then comes the Herald, and next the
Boston Herald; then the New York Times,
the New York Sun next, tbe Cincinnati
Commercial, and following them the Bal
timore Sun, the size of whose sheet might
be lost in tbe pages of the others, but
which, nevertheless, is everywhere recog
nized as standing In the very front rank
in the great race for news. It may seem
strange to the readers of this lettei to
find over the signature of a correspondent
some facts applying to tbe sheet in which
his letter Is printed, but the records are in
^ew York, and the telegraph reports tell
the story.
I cannot write authoritatively of the
methods employed by all the newspapers
of New York in the gathering of news,
but I know enough about them to give a
very general idea to the reader, and the
plan used here differs only in unimpor
tant particulars and in its extent from
that in all other cities. The New York
Associated Press famishes for its mem
bers a generally complete and usually
very guarded report of the history of tbe
world. The association was originally
formed by some of the older papers of
New York for the purpose of dividing the
expense of getting news. In its original
operation one paper receiving news from
any source waa obliged to send it to every
other paper belonging to tbe association,
and if it was used by them, tbe cost of ob
taining it was to be shared pro rata. Thu
agreement still continues, although the
practice has become obsolete. Out of the
original plan came the Associated Press
organization as. it now exists. It was
found to be a good thing, and the news it
gathered a salable thing to papers out of
the rivalry with the city papers, and now
' has its central offices and its agencies
in all parts of the world, gathering and
distributing news wherever the English
language is spoken, or rather read. A
membership in New York, or, as it is
called, a franchise In tbe Associated Press,
is counted of tremendous value, and as no
more can be crested than now exist, they
are held by their present owners at figures
that would at first blush seem altogether
preposterous. Less than two years ago,
fact, when tbe Pennsylvania railroad
was disposing of ita interest iu the New
York World, that paper could have been
bought for $350,000, and prob
ably a less sum would have
served. Bat of that figure $225,000, near-
| one-quarter of a million, waa counted
as tbe figure of value for the Associated
Press franchise. As a matter of fact the
Associated Press membership, while a
matter of absolute necessity to a new ne
per or one just starting, is not so exclu
sively used as one might Imagine. The
reason for this is found in the fact that
tbe old papers have established tbeirown
sources ot information, and prefer a spe
cial service of news from any point where
there is a matter ot interest. I believe
there is not in North America a point
where thare is a telegraph instrument
that tbe New York Herald cannot address
by nasoe a request for news to the best
man there to act as correspondent. Its
organisation in this respect is complete,
and Us service has been maintained at a
high standard by prompt and liberal pay
ment. The great difficulty in obtaining
news by the papers of New York is not
to secure it after it has once been heard
of, but to find it in the first place.
Some ot the papers of New York guard
tbeir special telegraph service very care
fully in many particulars, and are ex
tremely liberal in others. The Tribune
for instance, never hesitates to order po
litical news, but is very close in Its ex
penditures for news oi any other charac
ter. Tha Sun would rather bare a good
sensational story of murder, fraud or
malfeasance in office, than almost any
thing else, although iu proclivities in that
direction never cause it to lose sight of
any ohter matter of interest that may be
transpiring. It will spend money ss lib
erally as tbe Herald for any news that
suits iu purpose, but it rarely takes op
two matters of news to make features in
one issue of tbe paper. Iu Mr. Dsns’s
Run the feature of the day subordinates
every other item to tbe
space it demands. Speaking in this
rambling way about newspapers of New
York, I am reminded or a discovery I
made while reading tbe Sun recently. I
noticed accidentally that all iu p’s, q’s,
and g’s—iu fact all the letters that have a
fall below the line of print in which they
stand — are much curtailed. Looking
Ihnmgb tbe pages of iu file, I found that
this could not be due to old type, and on
making inquiiy 1 discovered that tbe pa
per has a special castof type for ail letters
that fall beiow the line, by wbich means
they save twenty-three lines on each col
umn, and that is 160 words about,and tbe
paper being of iweuty-eigbt columns,
4,400 words are saved, equal to two col
umns of solid miniou type. That is con
densing for space with a vengeance.
The World is great on the society news,
and recently has become journalistically
noted for tee number, fullness and newsy
character of iu cablegrams. These are
furnished by Mr. Jennings, iu foreign
correspondent, who used to be oditor of
the Tunes, aud whose reputation as a
thoroughly competent, always alert jour
nalist has never been questioned, although
he was never personally popular here.
Since Mr. Gould became tbe owner of the
World as he was previously ot much of
the telegraph property ot tbe country, he
has encouraged it to a more liberal ex
penditure of money, which takes,
newspaper people here say, strange direc
lions in pursuit of news that is not newsy-
Tbe 2‘i>nes is a close corporation, and of
its methods no one is likely to know ex
cept so far as ho may be able to judgo by
tbe results in its colums. Let me say, av
one who has tried in mauy particular
cases, and have a knowledge whereof I
speak, that he who sets out to get news
that the Times does not will spend consid
erable time out of bed iu cadi twcuiy-lour
hours, aud will not be idle, and the next
day will tiud himself fortunately fixed it
be has got all the Times has.
Passing along Park Row, the tall spire
of the Tribune evokes tlie recollections of
Greeley. It, as I have just said, is very
liberal in gathering political news, and iu
other n^jters more dependent upon tbe
Associated Press than any other paper in
New York. In local newa it » to tne
front ail the time, however. It. is rarely
that auy city editor in New York, feeling
he has a good piece of newa exclusively
for his own paper, turns to any other
sheet before he opens tbe Tribune to see
how he stands for the realization of his
hopes. I don’t know why this is so, but
it is so, and the Tribune during the two
years I was engaged in local journalism
had more aud belter beats than any other
paper in the city.
Perhaps iu this connection it might be
interesting to some of your readere to
know about what is paid to the writers on
the New York press. Not to make it
personal, 1 may say there are four men
on the New York Herald who get $10,000
a year each. There are half a dozen who
get $100 a week, and the working editors,
thoso who handle dispatches, etc., get
about $70 per week, working only five
nights in seven. The news writers are
for the most part paid according to tbe
space they supply, but they are not de
pendent upon that for remuneration.
Should they have no work to do, there is
a liberal lime allowance that secures
them a fair salary in itself. But it is a
poor week, even for the average space re
porter, when he does not make at least
$50. I have known them to average $100
a week tor four months at a time. But
let uo one suppose they do not work for
that, and 1 have one instance in my mind
of a man who made $245 a week as an
average for two mouths. You can im
agine that lie had unlimited space to fill
if he could, and easy pursuit of the news
itself. But even then he bad to write
three and a half columns a day every day
in the week, and I fancy there are lew
men who care for much of that sort ot
thing, say for two mouths or longer. In
giving these figures as to space-work for
writers, 1 speak of either the Times, Sun,
Herald or World. I believe the city de
part menta of all these papers are operated
■pou tho space system, tlie obrious inten
tion of the plan being to open tbe columns
for all news that comes from auy reliable
source. The district of territory embraced
in tbe city department, aud for whose
news the city editor is solely responsible,
extends for miles in every direction, and
has a population of lour aud a half mill
ion souls. It includes all of Long Island,
with Brooklyn, of course; the Nortberu
halfof New Jersey, New York State for
seventy-five miles into tbe interior, so as
to take in the city of Poughkeepsie,Staten
Island and the city, with ita varied inter
ests arising from a population of oue and
a quarter millions of residents and obe-
half oi a million of visitors every year. To
conduct any of the city departments of a
great New York daily requires about $ly
500 a week, in which there is not includ
ed any expense belonging to composi
tion.

Yesterday's mail at a leading wholesale

brought a letter from a retail merchant in
the dry goods line at Oswego, Kansas.
Tbe letter bore tbe appearance of being a
copy of a form with which the Oswego

representatives bad visited him. It reads
la this way:
“Gentlemen—With all due respect to
you and your house, we have decided to
run our business on a different plan from
the way it has been run In year* past. Our
time has been half consumed by talking
to drummers; our business, of course, has
been reglected, aud we have been made
miserable by tbe everlasting flow of gab'
from the traveling man.
“From this date on, until we notify yon.
please inform your Kansas mau not to call

take no tor an answer. Of course, your
goods are all of first quality, and got up in
better shape for tbe retail trade than any
others that come to this market, but we
have decided to buy Diem no longer from
your traveling meu, but expect to go di
rect to the market, and buy from the
stocks. Then we get no-substitutes, and
cau have them shipped when they are
urchased. There will be uo dating ot

life from this time on. We mean what
we say, and will strictly adhere to 1L
Don’t direct any letters to your men is

The letter was read when opened, and
tbeu turned over to the commercial trav
elers of the house which received It. The
gentlemen of the road were bolding an in

Oswego man when the Globe-Democrat
reporter fell in with them aud was sbowa

DYSPEPSIA.
Different Cases Defined.
Bales for Its Treatment.
Dyspepsia is the inability of tbe stomaeh
to prepare from the food eaten the nour
ishment required to sustain the body.
Amonga dozen dyspeptics no two will
have the same predominant symptoms.
Dyspeptics of active mental power and a
bilious temperament are subject to sick
headache; those who .it- fleshy and phleg
matic) have constipation, while the thus and
nervous are abandoned to gloomy fore
bodings. Rome dyspeptics are wonder
fully forgetful; others hs~e great irritabil
ity of temper.
Symptoms of Dyspepsia
are loss of appetite, ruing of food,
heartburn, distention ot the stom
ach, headache, bad breath, sleep
lessness, low spirits, and general
prostration. Constipation is a fre
quent ooneomitant of dyspepsia,
but sometimes it is attended with
diarrhoea.
For the certain cure of dyspepsia there
never was a medicine discovered equal to
or even deserving a comparison with Sim
mons Liver Regulator. The test of many
> ears and the experience of many thou
sands and tans of thousands of every age
add oondition of life h»4 established the
fact that no one will remain a dyspeptic
who will take this purely vegetable medi
cine according to the printed directions to
be found always accompanying the medi
cine. The Regulator, as a tonic and cor
rective, will strengthen the gastrie organs
so that
The Food will not lit Corrupting and

but will be digested without pain or dis-
treee; and when thus digested the body is
nourished, pure blood is supplied, and
health, vigor and cheerfulness follow. It
is not unpleasant to the taste and is per
fectly harmless. Ahaif-tablespoonfnlaJfter
each meal will gently move the bowels as
naturally as if no medicine had been taWm,
and when its use is discontinued the sys
tem is not left constipated or costive.
“Simmons Liver Regulator fully
deserve* the popularity it has at
tained. As a family medicine it
has no equal. It cured my wife of
a malady 1 had counted incurable
—that wolf's-bane of our American
people —Dyspepsia. She desires
that all might know the virtues of
this God-given remedy.
A. E. P. ALBERT,

Parish of Terrebonne, La.”
“All tbe health I enjoy, and
even my life I may say, is in
consequence of Simmons Liv-
or Regulator. I would not take
$1,000,000 tor my interest in
the medicine. W. H. WILSON,
“Lecturer State Grange and President
Florida Co-operative Stock Company, P.

“Simmons Liver Regulator has
entirely cured me of the most dis
tressing case of dyspepsia I ever
saw. I am never without it on my
engine, as it always relieves me of
any distressed feeling after eating.
It is the best family medicine in
the world, and I never let it get ont
• at my home. In its praise yon may
add to this. J. H. MALLEYT,

“My wife, as I supposed, was a confirmed
dyspeptic. Some tliree years ago, by the
advioe of Dr. Steiner, of Augusta, she waa
induced to try Simmons Liver fiigulator.
At the time she weighed eight)-five pounds
By the use of that valuable remedy she has
been entirely restored to health, and now
weighs one hundred and twenty-five pounds.
I feel grateful for the relief it has given
her; aud may all who road this and are af

erwise,!^ Simmons Liver Regulator, and
I feel confident health will be restored to
