The Baltimore & Ohio from that point south has propositions from two or three roads. It is interesting to know that in I all this plan - the suggestion and ideas of the late Moncure Robinson are being followed. He" began to build the ' Virginia & Carolina Ra.il- road." Most of it is already traded; The Baltimore ds Ohio can, under the I arrangements, run solid trains from ew Xork to New Orleans and the Seaboard can get into New York I with solid trains over the Baltimore & Ohio tracks. The Baltimore & Ohio can under this contract with the Seaboard Air Line use the lat ter "s 'tracks all the way to Atlanta, or can have its own southward from Hamlet, as above stated. It was the plan of the Baltimore & Ohio, at one time, to get southward via the Roa noke & Southern, but it is positively stated by persons who claim to be on the iuside that this is abandoned and that the plan above described is the one agreed on.

On Tuesday, April ?$ 13th, 1830, the first celebration pf the birthday anniversary oft Thomas Jefferson occurred in tbe form of a subscription dinner at the then In dian Queen Hotel, now the Metro politan hotel, on Pennsylvania ave nue, Washington.

It is now intended that the one hundred and fifty-fourth birthday anniversary of Jefferson shall be celebrated at the same hotel on Tuesday, April 13, 1897, under the auspices of the national association of Democratic clubs.

Our grand secretary repoits a warm greeting from the brethren in old Currituck. Seaton Gales lodge finished up five young men last Thursday even ing and will start in on tvro more next meeting night. We think the present young offi cers of No. 61 are doing themselves honor in their successful work dur Img this term . . All the lodges will meet in the same hall after April 1st, and we think it will redound to the best In terests of the order. A bundle of sticks so to speak. A Our attention has been sailed to a very unique, but interesting circu lar, bearing a good picture of Grand Patriot Wesley Williams, which he is sending out in behalf of the Patri archal branch of the order. The degree staff of Ruth Lodge, composed of ladies, are becoming very proficient in their new work. It begins to show up some of the rare beauties of the sublime teach ings of this degree. Grand Secretary Kidder approves of tbe suggestion of celebrating Sep tember 21st, it being tbe anniver sary of the day in 1851, when the law was passed authorizing a degree for the ladies in our order. It in deed marked a very-important epoch in the history of the order. A movement is on foot between our three lodges that may result in something of great interest to the order in general, as well as to this section in particular, in the not dis tant future. We are not at liberty) just at present to divulge the mat ter, but time will tell whether re suits will meet expectations. TODAY'S MARKETS. The Movementa in New York and Liver pool Markets.

The Louisville and St Louis Air Line also withdrew from the Southern Suites Freight Association, of which it was a mem ber. A meeting of the executive officers of the Western roads was held today in the office of Third Vice President Morton, of the Santa Fe, to talk over tbe situation. At the close of the meeting, however.it was announced that no concerted action had been decided upon and none was likely to be. The more the decision of the Su preme Court is considered tbe more clearly does it appear that not a ves tige of ground is left traffic associa tions as they have heretofore been conducted, on which to exist. All that now remains for the roads to do is to direct their energies to secur ing legislation that will open some way for them to conserve their in terests and prevent their revenues from being dissipated by mad com petition. None of the associations attempted to do any business today. No cir culars were issued by any of them and no attempts were made to en force observance of agreements. As yet no rate cutting has been resorted to as a result of the collapse of the associations The roads are simply attending to routine business and seem to be afraid to take aggressive action of any kind . flarlow Brothers Coming.
