Agreement Between Southern ai Seaboard Air Line Compantes. As a result of a series of conferences held in this city, New York and in various places in the south, between Vice President Finley of the Southern Railway Company and Mr. St. John, vice president and general man: IRS §N ALEXANDRIA Important Meeting of Business Men { BetHeld Tonight, ager of the Seaboard Air Line, the rate war} Prisoner Declies to Work on Chain which has existed for some time past be- tween those companies has been ended, and the controversy, which began several years ago, is practically settled. While neither company is, as yet, pre- pared to make an official announcement of the fact, it is stated that an agreement has been reached to maintain rates throughout both systems, and especially between com- petitive points. One of the most important results of this agreement between the two companies will be the fixing of stable rates in portiofis of the south reached by the two systems. It is conceded that if this is done and the agreement carried out it will have a far-reaching influence upon the railroad situation in all that section of the country south of the Ohio and between the Potomac and Mississippi rivers. There is already in existence an associa- tion which has for its object the main- tenance of rates, but the Seaboard Air Line has steadily refused to go into it, and in consequence it has been impossible to main- tain uniformity of rates. It is believed by some that the Seaboard will soon enter the association. It is understood that as a part of the agreement the Southern Railway Company will withdraw its steamer service between Baltimore and Norfolk, and that the Sea- board Air Line will discontinue its similar service from Baltimore to Richmond. This arrangement would also lead to a return to the old rates in existence before the fight between the two companies began, ——— PROFESSIONAL BEGGING. . Judge Scott Determines to Apply the Law Against It. Jvdge Scott today in the Police Court, in plain language, stated his views in regard to “‘hoboes’”’ ard professional beggars. “It is very difficult to go anywhere in this city without being accosted by such men,” sald the court. “It is very annoy- ing, indeed. Several ladies have complain- ed to me that they are afraid to leave their hemes alone. I am very much inclined to protect the community so far as lies in my pewer. Therefore, each of these defend- ants must furnish bonds in the sum of $100 each cr go to the workhouse for four mcnths.” The remarks of the court were made in cornection with the case of George M. Lyons and Edward Harvey, arrested last night for “holding up’ persons who were on the way to the First Presbyterian and Metropolitan M. E. churches, respectively. Policeman Bean saw one of the men accost Mr. A. P. Tasker of 921 I street. The latter told the policeman that the man had asked for money, saying he had 7 cents and needed 3 cents more in order to pay for lodging at the Central Union Mission. Lyons denied emphatically that he begged or accosted any one. He was standing on the corner, he said, and, in fact, “didn’t mean no harm.’ Judge Scott considered the facts very clear, and after expressing his views im- posed the sentence stated. Election and an Address. It has been decided by the Sons and Daughters of Maine that the election of officers shall be held at the next regular meeting, the 18th instant, when Gen. Chas. H. Smith’s address on the First Maine Cay- alry will be delivered. ——.__ Executive Committee Meeting.

This gives holiday buyers an op- portunity to secure the highest grade pianos at the prices asked by others for the vastly inferior instruments. Call for prices. More liberal terms than ever before.
