Rhus Toxicodendron did much to make tilings interesting for the visiting drug gists at the Battery Park hotel lust night and considerable time was devoted to a discussion of its properties. It is a afc RWttat Asheville people never considered such a thing worth while, lor althoul!h thi. Dlant :. ag familiar to Western North Carolina people as the old lasbioncd dog fennel, tney know it and dodge it only as plain poison oak and they would Icel inclined to resent that familiarity of the men of science which prompts them to call it "Rhus Tox" for short. The druggists know and revere poison oak partly for its medicinal prop erties and partly for the length of the scientific name, and these made it an in tcrestine thine to discuss. It was in the section of the convention on scientific papers that Rhus Tox was considered. Dr. H. M. Whclpley ol St. Louis was responsible for its interjec tion into the meeting. He wasdown for a paper bearing on it, and he undertook to answer the ciuerv that had been given him as to whetner or nut the poison of the plant is destroyed when the leaves are dried, mere is a auiercnce 01 opinion on this subiect. some authorities main taining one thing and others insisting that these people know nothing aboitit. To settle this matter Prof. Whelpley said he had experimented on himself in the interests of science and found that the handling ot the dried leaves produced the eruption that is so familiar to every small boy who goes fishing and clm.quc Din huntine. and he added that not e shadow of doubt exists in his mind as to the poison of the dried lull. He said lie had learned also that men who haudli the dried drug in miking fluid extract are sometimes poisoned. Alist of diseases for which the druzhas been recommended was given in the paper and included chilblains, palsy, delirium, herpes zoster. rheumatism of all kinds, erysipelas, stines of insects, typhoid lever, eczema and pemphigus. Remedies fur the poison itself werealsogiven nnd included, among many others, warm wutcr and soap, strong coffee, opium, lime water and lin seed oil, bromine, copper sulphate, alum, bismuth subnitrate, witch hazel, stramo nium or plain "jimnson weed," sassa fras, alder aud boneset. This paper brought out considerable discussion and many interesting circum utancea were related as to the poison. J U. Llovd of Cincinnati cited the cuse of a girl employed in a drug Inctory who could not even enter u room where the dried lenf was being bandied without heinrr poisoned. Da two occasions she was made sick for a fortnight by j-ist steopim; ins;de the room. The consen sus of opinion seemed to be that the effects of the poison in its dry form were merely dependent on individual charac teristics, some persons being more sus ceptible than others. Other papers read were as follows "Advance sheets of an analytical com oarison with United States pbnrmacie pia," by 1. B. Naglevoort ol Detroit; "Grain weight, a study of wheat," by J U.Lloyd of Cincinnati; i'O'A ol cIovcb,' bv C. P. T.

Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 6. The greatest combination of private capital ever before enlisted in one enterprise in the United States is supporting the' Southern Railway company. From a thoroughly reliable source the Times is informed that the underwriters, as they mav be termed, of the reorganization scheme are none other than the Roths childs of London and Paris, the Vander- bills of New York Cornelius and W. K. The reorganization, as is well known, was undertaken aud successful consum mated by Drcxel, Morgan & Co. of New York, and J. S. Morgan & Co. of Lon don. These two great banking houses interested their richest clients the Rothschilds and the Vandcrbilts. The syndicate represents the greatest aggregation of capital in the world- more than half a billion ol dollars. The Rothschilds have one-quarter, the Vanderbilts one-quarter, Drexel Morgan & Co., one-quarter, and J. S. Morgan & Co.. one-quarter. The reor ganization plan provided for 30 millions ol new capital anc it is this sum tnat the new quartette has agreed to supply, and more if necessary. The money is to be used in heavier rails, new Dridges, new equipment, terminals, extensions, etc. The first am.ua! meeting of the stockholders is to be held at Richmond. Va., Tuesday, October 2, and bonds to the amount of $120,000,000 on the en tire property will be authorized. 1 lurty m.llions ot tne Donas are to oe used in improvements. The expenditure of this large sum of money in the south along the line of the Southern railway will be far reaching in its effects. 1 here is now very little doubt that the South ern railway project is simply the exten sion ol tbc Van lerbilt system into and throughout the south. The Chesa peake and Ohio will no doubt become part of the system whatever may be the immediate rtsuit oi tne Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton peo ple s plans. Through the Cincinnati Southern the Dig Four and the Vander- bilt system will be reached ac Cincinnati The controlling stock of the Central rail road of Georgia is held by the Southern Railway and when the property finally gets into the hands of the security hold ers, which 19 only a question of a very short time, it will be found that the Van dcrbilts .ire in control. The plans of the Drcxcl-Morgnn people are now so near fruition that it is now no longer a matter of speculation. The greatest railroad combination on earth is now near completion. 1 wenty-tive thousand miles of the best railroad prop erty in the United States will soon be under control of the Rothschild-vanUer-bilt combination. The beginning of the Southern railway is under the most lavorable circum stances. The cotton crop will yield near on to ten million bales and the South will not onlv have enough corn for its own use but a great surplus to sell. The general condition of the plantcrsand farm ers in the South were never better. Fac- tcriei and furnaces are resuming in every direction. One order for 20,000 tons of pig iron has just been given tbe Tennessee Coal and Iron Co. by Mat thew Addv & Co.. of St. Louis, and in consequence the Cowan furnace has been put in blast, and the South Pittsburg furnace will also be in blast in a few days. Every factory in the city of Chat tanooga is it work. Tbe feeling that the South is on the threshold of a great era of prosperity seems to be duily increasing iu the Utst. Eastern banks are freely ottering money at a low rate of interest to the southern correspondents and large mercantile houses are crowdine the aoutn wun commercial travelers. The Southern rail way has its beginning at a propitious time. Want To Keep Their Heads, Shanghai, Sept. 6. Two Japanese spies who were surrendered to the Chi nese authorities by tbe United States consul under whoae protection they were, were promptly tried and beheaded.
