"So Transcontinental Combination. Experienced railway men treat with contempt the oft repeated stories of transcontinental combinations. They say such a that no one is shipping goods across the continent Just for the fun of paying the freight, and that no combination would secure an additional traveler by reason of the consolidation. One prom' .ent railroad man said the stories rent out from New York on this subject had their origin in the imagination of the writers, and he was surprised that the Associated Pres? sould countenance them so far as to repeat them to the public. Preparing a New Agreement. Railroad Commissioners Goddard and Donals and W. W. Finlay, third vice president of the Southern Railway Company, held the second of a series of meetings in New York yesterday for the purpose of jreraring a new agreement between the trunk-line associations. Differentials were considered by which it is proposed to help the weaker lines on a new basis. They also discussed excess fares and concessions on trunk-line business. At the conclusion of the meeting Commissioner Finlay said there was nothing to be given out to the public at the present time. Local, Personal and General Notes. The Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe is now In full possession and control of the San Francisco & San Joaquin Vailey Railroad. It Is said the Pennsylvania Company la figuring on a new fast train from Cleveland to Cincinnati on the recentlyicqulred C. A. & C. road. The tank capacity of all the Cleveland & Pittsburg passenger engines has been increased to as to obviate the necessity of stopping for water or coal. Superintendent Van Winkle, of the BIj? Four, went north last evening. He will while away attend the meeting of the officials ' of the Big Four at Pur-ln Bay and will not return until Wednesday of next week. Although the ticket and passenger agents at the local offices were having their hands full of business In attending to the wants of Epworth league visitors, all confess to considerable disappointment at the comparatively small Influx of excursionists. George 1 1. Daniels, general passenger agent of the New York Central, who knows about as much concerning his line of busl- . ness as any man in the country, says newspaper advertising Is the only first-class advertising for railroads and the only one that pays. The Union Pacific, Santa Fe, Missouri Pa

cific and Chicago k Alton announce that they will carry delegates to the meeting of the Concatenated Order of lloo-lloos in Denver, Sept. 9-13. and return for one far plus $2. The trip includes Colorado Springs and Pueblo. O. W. Hayler; of the C. H. A P.. who ha been tentatively offered an Important position In the passenger department of the Delaware. Lackawanna & Western, still has the matter under consideration, awaiting a more definite proposition from tha Lackawanna management. 'General Manager Ramsey, of the Wabash. In discussing the possibility of reducing the cost of handling tonnage, says: "To increase the trainload you must either increase the weight and power of your engines or decrease your grades. The test possible way is to do both." It la said the new pressed steel cars meets the approval of the hobo. He says the slanting ends furnish an excellent shelter and the air-brake cylinder Is a good substitute for a pillow. If two or three of the all-steel cars are in line he can sleep secure and fear no harm in case of a collision. A special meeting of the executive committee of the Western Passenger Association was called to meet In Pittsburg yesterday to consider the fake advertising question. It is claimed the roads throughout the association's territory are wasting too much money In this sort of advertising, which Is held to do no great amount of good. General Superintendent R. B. Starbuck, of the Peoria, Decatur & Evansvllle Railwar, has adopted the one-sl:ovelful system of locomotive firing on locomotives. While the experiment is yet young, the results obtained are regarded as highly satisfactory. A saving of V) per cent, in the quantity of coal used has already been effected, and even better results are looked for. The Texas railroads are trying to establish in Austin a traffic bureau to take the Elace of the Southwestern Bureau, with eadquarters in St. Louis, which recently wound up Its affairs and retired from the field. The Idea for the establishment of the titvr bureau is said to have originated wan General Attorney Stedman. cf the International Jk Great Northern. The recent demoralization of interstate rates has caused the development of a strong filing in favor of the proposed bureau and If the roads are acting la good faith, it 4 beUcYtd the bureau

will be In operation by the 13th of Aus;u?t. Its operations will be confined to the State of Texas.

A "SCOOP" IM MISSOURI. Enrly Day Nennpnprr Story and a County-Seat War. Frank 11. Brooks, in St. Louis Republic. "You fellows in New York call it a 'beat' when you get a story that the other papers don't have." said the guest at a newspaper club in New York. But, as he explained it. he quit editing ten years ago and kills time visiting his kin. "What did you call It, Cap'n. when you were in the business?" asked one of his listeners. "Runaway; but before I quit the boys got to calling it 'scoop But I always liked the word 'runaway It means co much. I had a 'runaway' once that actually broke the heart of an esteemed contemporary, and he was a gentleman. One of your courtly, old school men that always wore'a shirt with a ruffled bosom and a wide collar. Colonel Blakey was his name. He was the editor of a paper In Pleasant Hill. Cass county, Mlraourl. His town was the railroad town of the county. I was editor of the paper at the county seat, Harrisonville, fifteen miles away. "There were no telegraph wires In the county. Our dally communication with Pleasant Hill was by stage, old-fashioned, four-horse stage; one mile a day. You understand that the publications were weekly. "The people of Pleasant Hill concluded they wanted their town to be a county seat. Their only way out of it was to get the Legislature to cut a strip off from each of the four adjoining counties and create a new county, which would have Pleasant Hill as the center of population; thereby it would become the county seat. This would have left Harrisonville on the border of its own county, and another county seat would have become a necessity, sooner or later. In Cass county. "Sectional feeling during the civil war was kittenish compared to the bitterness which the proposed new county created between Harrisonville and Pleasant Hill. Political lines were knocked down. The issue was new county and old county. Pleasant Hill people called a convention to nominate a county ticket. The only issue was 'new county We called our convention and the Issue was 'old county "The Pleasant Hill crowd had money, and I must admit thex were tolerably swift. The success of their proposition meant a whole lot to Colonel Blakey. He was living on his war record and a pedigree, but his paper had a mortgage on it that you could see before you got to town. "The Pleasant Hill crowd called a secret convention. Nobody was allowed In except delegates. I never did know Just why they did that. I got an inkling of It through our sheriff. Major Dale, one of the braved men I ever knew. My partner was the printer of the concern. He was a good one. What he didn't know about the mechanical end of a shop wasn't worth learning. The composing room consisted of him and two boys, and a nigger to work the power press. I would like to remark that this was the first power press in a weekly newspaper office in Missouri. Somehow I am proud of that. "Well, the Pleasant Hill convention was to meet on Thursday. That was one of Colonel Blakey'9 schemes. His paper was published on Friday. Ours came out on Saturday. You se what Colonel Blakey was after. He expected to get a runaway' on the Cass County Democrat Herald. I reckon you young men don't know that in a weekly office at that time one side of the paper was set and worked off and the type distributed to get up the other side. We got up the outside of our paper early that week, and had everything else in type for the other side except a few columns that were left open for the Pleasant Hill convention. "I got to Pleasant Hill Thursday morning. The convention met at noon behind closed doors. The business lasted until after midnight. The delegates expressed themselves freely as to how they proposed to work the Legislature and a corruption fund was raised at once. Harrisonville was simply to be wiped off the county map and Colonel Blakey made a very funny speech as to how he expected to raise pumpkins on the site of the old county scat. "As soon as the convention was over I Jumped into the spring wagon that had brought me over, and having a driver who knew every gully aw, mole hill in the county, he laid the lash over the backs of his horses, threw the llnis over the dashboard, and Tarn O'Shanter's ride was simply smashed. We occasionally let down a rail fence where we could save a mile and drove over rields. We cut across the open prairie when we struck one. Whenever the driver hinted about the horses giving out I handed him my bottle and he changed his mind. "The roosters were crowing when we hit the main street In Harrisonville. and the old soaks who were waiting aroundlfor the saloons to open lost their thrist when they saw that team coming. "My partner had his force at the shop., nigger included, when I jumped out of the wagon. I began writing my account of that convention. My partner and the two boys took copy, page at a time, and as fast as a galley was proved I read it. Before 9 o'clock the paper was on the press, and the nigger was testing the capacity of the machine. We had ordered a four-horse-power engine, but when we saw that nigger's capacity we countermanded the order. Before noon we had about 500 copies off, bundled and In a wagon headed for Pleasant Hill. We loaded In several youngsters about town, who were to scatter the papers In Pleasant Hill. By 3 o'clock we were In the enemy's country. Colonel Blakey had not got out his sheet. He was reading his proofs when he heard our bovs holler'n' 'Cass County Democratic Herald: all about the convention.' The people suspended business.. They didn't get It through their heads until the next day. We had caught the connlvers and exposed their hand. It was 'a runaway complete. And I claim It never was beat." , "Cap'n. do you mind telling us how you got into the convention." "Got through the roof of the houe by way of a cuttle-ho!e. knocked a hole in the celling and listened. As I knew every delegate I could distinguish each by his voice." "Did you elect your ticket?" "Did we? Well, you write two letters out there, one to Pleasant Hill and the other to Harrisonville. and see which one will get there first. Harrisonville has railroads running out in every direction. Pleasant Hill Is a nice, quiet town, but it went out of the new county business a long time ago. And my poor friend Colonel Blakey. he was like iu-mtr ui me young I'rirvce that was shipwrecked I reckon you all read that In your fourth readers hs nver amiii again. Actually died, broken-hearted."

STOCK PRICES BETTER

DE3IAND WAS STIIOXG AT TIMES AXD THE LIST SHOWS GAINS. In Face of the Strike Brooklyn TransIt Advances and Londoners Are Baying Local Markets Active. At New York yesterday money on call was steady at 34 per cent.; last loan Sft per cent. rrlme mercantile paper, 2j4ls per cent. Sterling exchange was easier, with actual business in bankers' bills at KSTH'S for sixty days; posted rates, $4.&ti4.SG and Jl.SSU; commercial bills. S4.S3S1.SCUSilver certificates, 60glc; bar silver, 60-c; Mexican dollars, 48c. At London bar sliver closed steady at Z7d an ounce. The New York stock market was dull yes terday for the general list, but there was a firm tone and final prices were higher than those of Thursday night. The grangers were especially in good demand and ruled for a greater part of the day at about a point above Thursday. . Burlington and Rock Island showed special strength and there was some evidence of manipulation in these two stocks. Much talk was heard of Bur lington's large earnings for June and ru mors were afloat of a coming increase in Rock Island's dividend rate, which was, however, without official sanction. London was a decided factor in the day's higher prices, and buying for the account in New York was estimated as high as 20,000 chares. principally of Louisville & Nashville. Money conditions were apparently much easier in London and the sterling exchange rate here worked lower in sympathy in spite of lower tendency of local money rates. All apprehension of shipments of gold to-day was difslpated early in the day with a beneficial effect on speculative sentiment. The in fluences from abroad were all favorable except a fall in French rentes and a decline in the sterling exchange rate at Paris, which suggested increased money needs at that center. Considering the dullness of the local stock market the scope of the dealings was remarkably broad, a large number of usually Inactive stocks coming into activity and registering sharp gains. Among these were American Tobacco, Colorado & Southern, first preferred, Mobile & Ohio, Twin City Rapid Transit, National Biscuit, Des Moines & Fort Dodge, Pittsburg, C, C. & St. Lv, General Electric, Continental To bacco, preferred, Colorado Fuel, the smelter stocks, Illinois Central, preferred, Chicago Great Western, preferred, and American Hoop, preferred, which rose between one and two points each. American Linseed Oil, preferred, gained SVs- Not all of these gains were held, the market dropping away some what in the Intense dullness of the late trading. The local traction stocks were all in pretty good demand, Brooklyn Transit rising 1 and closing up Sugar was heavv throughout the day on rumors of new developments In the opposition. Some hesitation was caused in the late dealings bv doubts as to the character of to-day's bank statement, the changes in the item being problematical.
