LATEST NEWS OF THE RAILROADS Pennsylvania's Reported Effort to Control N. and W. No Surprise. PART OF WELL LAID PLANS Joint Passenger Committee Will Con- aider Differentials and Tourist Agencies at Meet ins To-Day. Other Items of Interest. The rmnonncement that the Pennsyl¬ vania was attempting to get control of the Norfolk and Western has caused no noticeable flurry cither in railroad or rinandaJ circles, nor in the active trading in the Xorfolk and Western stocks. Then, _íT;Un. tiie story is not a new one by any means, and the recent developments are simply regarded as the fruition of the Pennsylvania's well-laid plans. »\bi>ul t'je time it became known that Baltimore, and Ohio stock was to be bought, and again when the Chesapeake and Ohio aud Big; Four _ea.l became public, the Etjt.incnt was made that among ut.i.r railroad .properties the \"__i_crbl't-M3r_ tga.«-Pennsylvania combine would next go alter wats the Norfolk and West_i_ It ts unlikely that they had operations unter -way even at thai time.

Among tho Important questions to be taken up at a meeting of the Joint Passenger Committee to-day in Chicago are differentials, touriste' agencies and wntra.ts with foreign steamship com¬ panies. There Is a strong determination on the part of some of tiie lines to force a discontinuation of the arrangements by which some of the tourists' agen-ies ^oll the tickets of certain roads over their own counters under contract. While it has not been openly asserted that rales èmve been manipulated through these channels, they have been provocative to some extent of distrust among the roads that now insist on the practico oelng stopped and sale;* of tickets confined' en¬ tirely to regular offices.

There is but one way to cure it. The disease is in the blood, and all the sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures in the world can have no permanent effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe- eificcures Catarrh permanently, foritis the only remedy which can reach the disease and force it from the blood. Mr. B. P. McAllister, of llarrodsburg, Ky», had Catarrh for years. He writes: "I could see no improvement whatever, though I was constantly treated with sprays and washes, nnd differ¬ ent Inhaling remedies. in fact. 1 c.uld feel that e.-.eh winter I was worse than' the year previous. "Finally it wt« brought to my notice tha t Cata rrh was a blood disease. and after thhi_- inp over the matter. 1 saw it was un reasonable to expect to he cured by remedies which o ill ? reached the surface. then decided to try S.

I advise all who have this dreadful disease to abandon thcirloeal treatment.whichhasnever done them an ? good, and take S.S. S., a rem¬ edy that can r¿ach the disease and cure It.'* To continue the wrong treatment for Catarrh is to continue to suffer. Swift's Specific is tt real blood remedy, and cures obstinate, deep-seated diseases, which other remedies have no effect whatever upon.

Secretary of War I*_còmincn(ls the Sit«; as à Suitable One. The Secretary of War has forwarded to the Committee on Military Affairs of tile House a. report which lie called for from the Chlckamauga. and Chattanooga National Military Park Commission upon Representative Grosvenor's bill pro¬ viding- for the erection of nn »Vrch of Nationality upon the battlefield at Chat¬ tanooga. The Commission expresses the opinion that this is an appropriate site. 1..Because" all of tne great armies of the North and the South were either en¬ gaged liiere or numerously represented, namely: On tho Union side, the Army of the Cumberland, 2 corps from the Army of the Tennessee, and corps from the Army of the Potomac, while on the Confederate side were the forces of Bragg, made up of his own army, Long- str-^efs Corps from the Army of Northern Virginia, and large forces from Vicks- burg and from Joseph E. Johnston's com- manti in Mississippi. Thè present and absent on the rolls of these commands, all of whom or their friends arc interested are. Union. 1S9.500 soldiers; Confederate. 111,000. The total organizations engaged were GS<i, of which 348 were Union and 33S Confederate. 2. livery State in the Union at the out¬ break of tho war east of the Kocky Mountains had troops engaged in the bat¬ tles about Chattanooga except four- New Hampshire, A'ermont. Rhode Island, and Delaware. In the mobilization at Camp Thomas for the war with Spain, New Hampshire and A'ermont were repre¬ sented, and troops from both sections rallied there. This assembling of troops at Chickamauga, where fully one-quarter of the entire Army was gathered, is deemed by the Park Commission to fur¬ ther emphasize the appropriateness of the proposed location of an Arch of Nationality, since there were camped side by side under the one flag soldiers from Minnesota and South Carolina, A'ermont and Tennessee, Michigan and Georgia. Arkansas and New York, Maino and Mississippi. 3. The Commission points out that Chattanooga is nearer central and nearer the center of population than any of the great battlefields, being midway between Maine and Texas, between Alinnesota and Florida, between the Lakes and the Gulf, and between Kansas and the Atlan¬ tic. 4. The plans of the Commission, which has long been co-operating with General Grosvenor in the matter, contemplate bronze tablets presenting a complete roster of all commands engaged on each side down to regiments and batteries, with their commanders: a roster of all Stiite commissioners and their governors who have assisted in the work of es¬ tablishing the park, and a roster of the Congress which authorized the park and of the Congress which authorized the arch as its crowning work.

A Macon (Ga.) paper prints the follow¬ ing: There is now a stronger probability than ever .that Talbott & Palmer will be able to resume business. A telegram from Mr. ¡Palmer from Cnieago ·¦ yesterday announced that he had perfected satisfactory arrange¬ ments. It had already been practically agreed among the Macon creditors of the con¬ cern that they would consent to almost anything that the tirm asked. The Macon parties interested have all along express¬ ed a desire to help the tirm get back on Us feet, it" it became necessary to lend them money. They seem to have every con- iidence in the integrity of the gentlemen at the. head of the business, and so far as known no creditor here doubts that the failure was a perfectly honest one, due altogther to too much generosity to¬ ward customers. But ..danta creditors have not shown a similar disposition. Several efforts have, been made at that end of the line to get the case into the criminal court. Warrants were sworn out up there charging that the last day"s transactions, amounted to larceny. These warrants were issued in spite of the fact that law¬ yers insist that the cases would have no standing in court. Chief-of-Police iBoifeuillet received an order from the Atlanta chief-'of-pollce for. the arrest of Mr. Talbott on one of these warrants, and although h. regarded It as an effort to humiliate Mr. Talbott, he was compelled to notify Mr. Talbott that he would have to consider himself in his custodv, but as there was no probability that Mr. Talbott would try. to leave- Ma-' cori, the chief allowed him to go-on his own recognizance. But, yesterday two officers.from At.an-.. ta came down, "each with, "a 'warrant. One of these, came from Justice;,.Orr's^ Court and the other from Justice*. Ba*e- man's. An attorney also came ,w,ith. Jus¬ tice Bateman's officer, and demanded Mr. Talbott"s arrest In spite of Chief Boifeulllet's authority. The. chief noti¬ fied the officer that the Macon police would take him in charge If he put his hands on Mr. Talbott. The officer seemed determined, but when he found that the cnief was equally s\ he decided to let ithe matter drop. The officers' then re¬ turned to Atlanta. Mr. Talbott and his. attorney, Mr. Charles H.-Hall, ,Jr., will _. .to ^Atlanta this morning, ^here they .will face all of the creditors, and bring-, [ to i_«í_ kn-wl-dï- tb»»· *·¦«U ;W*_<_l hxv* mim IITTLE SSGK HEADACHE JPositiveîy cnred by these kittle Pills.

A statement o£ the liabilities of the three ottices shows about "575,(X)0; and the assets, including all of Mr. Talbott's personal property. $26,000. The hooks and accounts were on yesterday turned over to a committee-of three gentlemen appoin¬ ted by the local creditors, and this 'Com¬ mittee are authorized to make a most searching examination as to the rüethods used by the firm in the conduct ot Its business and to answer all questions any credltors might see" fit to ask.
