' ; iv " The news reports contain many items indicating the extext of the prosierity the country is enjoying and the glowing prospect ahead of us. There is nothing more signifi cant than the announcements from all part? of . the country concerning the railway orders for new equip ment. , Railway companies do not buy more locomotives and new cars , un less theequipment is heeded. : They do not usually put in . big orders simply to tide'over a temporary rush in business. When they go into the market with record-breaking orders for rolling stock the outlook is for business that will warrent such exr penditures. , , " The Pennsylvania Road has plac ed an order fur $8,500,000 worth of freight cars and engines, said to be the largest purchase on record. J. J. Hill has ordered $1,000,100 worth of locomotives,? and nearly every railway company in the North west is in the field for more facili ties for handling business. " ' And all this was right in'the face of an extra session' of PgT :"''-, revise the tariff " It Ihas been , .tie popular notion j that the business orld takes a holiday when there is a prospect of any readjustment of tarntt rates.

An Enthusiastic; Meeting. The Chamber of Commerce held an important and largely attended meeting at the City Hall last Friday night and transacted much business of vast importance to th9 city. At this meeting a committee composed of John M. Cook and J. Zeb Wal ler were appointed to go to Rich mond, Va., and offer - inducements to the Imperial Tobacco Company toplace a buyer upon this market Theyare also to visit' Washington, D. C., and consult with tne South -era Railway officials in regard to opening up the shops here as a ret pair shop, or to lease them to some one' for a manufacturing enterprise. There are several firms ready and willing to start an enterprise, if they secure th building. It seems to be the general opinion that the . right men for tbe committee were selected and that Zeb and John . 'will land the prizes.
