Th6 Senate chairman was called away

at which delegates were present front
all the unions of trackmell on the road.
A new scale. of wages alul hours was
drawn up which will be presented to
the company in a short tilllc.
Nearly all of the new issue of stock
of the Consolidated road has been talc
ell up, there being only $400,000 of the
311000.000 not taken. The time for
taking this stock expires June 1, and
there is little doubt that it will all
be subscribed for. .
On account of the long drought the.
company has had a large number of
claims for damages from fires caused
by sparks from the engines. There,
have been more such small tires in the
past two weeks than for several years.
The company has decided to make
an addition of 2.30 feet to the covered
