Baltimore, Jan. 19 Mess. Williams and Middeudorf, managers of the Sea board syndicate, have stolen a march on Thomas F.

They have wiped out the existing syndicates and have formed one syndicate to be known as the Greater Seaboard syndicate, t Certificates of beneficiary interest in the Florida Central and Peninsula and the Seaboard & Roanoke syndicates will be called in, and in place of them will be sub stituted certificates in the new syndicate. They have already rem red the assent Eractically of all the signers of the Sea oard & Roanoke agreement and a large maioritvof the signers of the Florida Central and Peninsula agreement. The effect of this move will be more far reacting tnan appears upon tne surface. The managers of the syndicate will also be votimr trustees or the stock to be is sued by the Greater Seaboard system, and even if Ryan succeeds lit bavins trans ferred to himself any considerable amount of allotments, which entitle holders to certain amounts of stock of the new com pany, he would be powerless to interfere with the plans of the promoters, because the voting power of the stock would be vested in tne trustees, y i' ACTON HOMES ACTION.

The chancre of the Newbern Fair date. from February to Aprils is au important one both in time, and 'also in weather conditions. t This somewhat radical change how ever, seems to meet tne approval oi au the patrons and friends of the fair as sociation, judging from the letters re ceived by Secretary Geo. Green, who has a number of letters at band from various sections, all expressing satisfaction at the change to April. r ' - This latter date is especially favorable to horsemen, and the annoyances which had to be met in February weather, will not be incurred at the next fair, in April, the result being more and better races, with greatly increased number of entries. The fair will be Held April 10-21. . 1 AUGUST, FLOWER.

I find for tourists and salesmen, or for persons fill ing office J positions, whether headaches and general bad feelings from irregular habits exist, that Green's Ansust Flower is a grand remedy. It does not injure the system by frequent use, and is excel lent for sour stomachs and indigestion." Sample bottles free at Temple Mars ton Drug Co.
