Y. A. Tuik.of tlie Southern Rail
way, Explains, tlie Cause of tlio
Gut lie ring:.
A special meeting of the American
Association of General Passenger and
Ticket Agents will be held iu the Ar
lington Hotel, in this city, to-morrow
evening. The meeting: was called by
Mr. "V. A- Turk, of the Southern Kail
way, "who is the president of the aiso
ciation, for the purpose of furthering
anti-ticket scalping: legislation.
In a'dditicn to this, the use of safety
paper -for tickets and inter-line ticket
contracts will be considered. The asso
ciation usually meets once a year, gen
erally in October, but it was deemed
necessary that a special meeting should
be held because of the fact that Con
gress is now considering a bill which,
.should it become a law.will prohibit the
sale of railroad or steamboat tickets
except by persons authorized to sell
them by the company which issues
them. Air. Turk, when seen yesterday,
had. this to say:
"The bills relative to ticket scalpers
were reported favorably in both hous,
but the understanding is that they will
not be called up for two or more weeks.
In spite of the favorable report, how
ever, it has come to our ears that a
few members hae said that our asso
ciation; in which the bill was framed
originally, did not lepresent the entire
railroad element of the country: that
it was, in fact, composed of only a few
of the general passenger "agents in
America. No sooner was this made
known to our members than more than
thirty of them asked me to call a meet
ing to be held in this city on February
14.
"Instead of representing only a few
lailroads. our association has for mem
bers all of the general ticket and pas
senger agents of the important railroad
and coast steamship companies in this
pountry, Canada and Mexico.
"One of our objects in calling the
meeting was to arrange for the print
ing of railroad tlckelsupon standard
paper; paper which will Tender impos
sible any altering, effacing or forging.
The inter-line contract, too, will proba
bly be agreed upon. The contract, or,
in other words, the conditions printed
on the ticket, will then read the same
on all roads."
The officers of the American Associa
tion of General Passenger and Ticket
Agents -are W. A Turk, president:
Charles S. Fea, of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, vice president: A. J. Smith,
of the Lake Shore and Michigan South
ern, secretary; John Sebastian, Charles
S. Lee, George De Haven, IX G. Ed
wards. C. P. Atmore, A. C. Kendall and
George T. Nicholson, members of the
executive committee.
One hundred and thirty-five members
of the association are expected to be
present at the meeting tomorrow night,
.representing as many railroad and
steamboat lines. Among others there
are expected: John Sebastian, of the
Rock Island: A. J. Smith, of the L. S.

THEIR SEVENTH CONGRESS
Daughters oftue American Rer
. ol nt ion tp Meet Here.
A SPIRITED CONTEST LIKELY
It Will We for the Highest Office
in tlie National Organization arid.
Between Min. -Manning nud Mrs.
McLean The Sessions to Lust a
Week Tlie 1 l ogrntu.
The seventh annual congress of the
Daughters of live American Revolution,
to be held in this city during the week
of February 21, promises to be one of
the most interesting in the history of
the organization.
The sessions will be held in the Grand
Opera House, and there will be three
meetings daily.
The convention will be called to order
at 10 o'clock a. m. February 21 by the
president general, Mrs. Adlal E. Steven
son. Mrs. Charles A. Stakely, of this
city, will oiler prayer. This will.be fol
lowed by music and the address of wel
come by the president general. The re
sponse will be made by Mrs. J. Harvey
Mathes, the State regent of Tennessee.
The report of the credential commit
tee will be made at 2 o'clock, after
which the roll call of delegates will be
made. The balance of the afternoon
will be devoted to seating them. '
The program committee will report at
7:30 o'clock, after which the various
committees will be announced.
The Tuesday morning session will be
devoted to the hearing of reports of the
following: Vice president general in
charge of organizations, recording sec
retary general, corresjonding secretary
general, registrars general, historian
general, assistant historian general, and
librarian general, uring tlie afternoon
reports will be made by the committee
on finance, committee on auditing,
committee on printing, and com
mittee on Revolutionary relics. The offi
cial reception will be held at the Ar
lington Hotel from St to 11 p. m on the
evening of February 22.
Probably the most interesting session
will be that of Wednesday. February
23, as the election of olhcers will take
place on that day. The election, it is
rumored, will be a most lively affair.
Mrs. Dolan McLean, at a special meet
ing of the New York chapter, of which
she is lesrent, announced her candidacy
for the office of president general. It Is
not known that Mite. McLean has the
entire support of the New York dele
gation. There is a strbng opposition to
this ticket. Tlie question of precedent
will have a great deal to do with the
selection of tlie next president general.
In order' to avoid sectionalism, the
president general has always been some
person of national prominence. The
first wife of President Harrison. Mrs.
Stevenson, wife of" the former Vice
President, and Mrs. John W. Foster
have in this way been chosen. It seems
most probable that Mrs. Daniel Man
ning, vice-pret-ident general of the so
ciety, and who stands in the direct line
of advancement, will be elected to the
office. She would receive the support of
the local chapters.' the Pennsylvania
and Virginia chapters and all the New
York State and city chapters with few
exceptions. Mrs. Manning is the widow
of the late Daniel -Manning, who was
Secretary of the Treasury under the
first Cleveland Administration. She is
well known socially both here and
throughout fhe country. Her candidacy
is in the hands of her friends, while it
is understood that Mrs. McLean will
conduct her own campaign.
The report of the committee appoint
ed to select medals will be heard Wed
nesday evening after the election. Mrs.
Mary S. Lockwood, editor and business
manager of the official organ of the
daughters, will also report.
The program for Thursday, February
24, is as follows: Ten a. m., report of
the Continental Hall committee and the
consideration of amendments: 2 p. m.,
report of committee on recommenda
tions of national officers, and announce
ment of elections of State regents: 7:30
p. m.. presentation of medals and re
ception to founders.
The program for Friday will be re
ports of the National University Com
mittee, committee to co-operate with
the Sons of the American Revolution,
etc., committee on prison ships, com
mittee to memorialize Congress about
the census of 1790, and the committee
on Meadow Garden Farm. The even
ing session will be devoted to discus
sion for the good of the society.
The session will be held Saturday
morning for the transaction of unfin-.
ished business.
During the sessions none but mem
bers of the congress will be admitted
to the floor of the house.

Moore, chairman of the Congressional t

card in reply to Col. Breckinridge's Pdi

Moore takes the ex-Congressman to

has been a financial failure, and vir
tually charges Breckinridge with having
misappropriated large sums of money
when practicing at the bar here, prior
to being elected to Congress, and with
still owing a ?15,000 judgment to Mad

The card is quite racy, and tiouble

Fame
A Pension Matter.
To the Editor of The Times:
I am an applicant for a. pension. That
is, I am trying to arrange with an at
torney to present my claim. Mycase
is, as I think, a peculiarly deserving
one, and my attorney thinks that if the
department rejects it he can get it acted
upon by Congress. My case Is this: My
father fought in the war of 1812. He
.enlisted at the early age of sixteen, and
served two years. He had his constitu
tion so wrecked and shattered by hard
ship and exposure that his life was pre
maturely cut off, and he died at the early
age of eighty. But for this war, I am
sure he would have lived to be a hun
dred, and might even now be living, to
tell the story of the battle of Bladens
burg to his grandchildren. I am his
youngest son, and, owing to his feeble
vitality, the result of the exposure, etc.,
I have been most of "my life a sick
man. I am now sixty, and but for this
inherited feebleness I might now be
much older. As it is manifest to my
self, and, r think, to all who know me,
that I would have had a much more vig
orous constitution but for my father, I
think I should have a good pension. It
is true that I was in the Confederate
army, but a little thing like' that should
not count, especially as it is on my
father's account that I am asking for
this pension, and he was too old to en
ter that service, and, indeed, was a
"loyal" man.
I think if 5ou would write something
on tills subject it might help my case,
and, in any event, I will be glad if you
will allow a place in your columns for
this communication, '

The members of the People's party in

The object of the meeting was to dis

It lias been detprmined that this ad

SL'ICLDE OF GEORGE W. HILL.
Well-Known liiooklyn Itcpnblican
Couldn't Stand llever.se.
Lyons, N. Y., Feb. 12. George W.
Hill, for many years an influential
Brooklyn Republican, committed sui
cide last night at the Hotel Iroquois by
taking poison. He was born in Brook
lyn in 1S3.1, and soon after went to Ger
many with his parents. He attended
the Jenar University, graduating in
medicine. The family was for political
reasons obliged to leave Germany, and
Dr. Hill entered the French army as
surgeon, serving through one war. Re
turning to America, he served through
the civil Avar on the. Union side. Later
he was connected with the Manhattan
Silver Plate Company. He came to Ly
ons with that corporation, eventually
becoming secretary of that company.
His real estate became encumbered,
his fortune dropped away, and two
weeks ago his property was sold at?
foreclosure sale, leaving his penniless.
Mr. Hill resided with his wife in Syr
acuse, and ostensibly started for there
last night, but, premeditating suicide,
stopped over night at the Irqquois. He
retired late, took the poison, opened a
window and. keeling on the floor gaz
ing into the street, died. He was seen
this morning by passer-by with his
head hanging out of the window. He
left a long statement, alleging facts
contributing to his financial downfall,
which are sensational.

article instead of an inferior article?

What'a This?
(From the Atchison Globe.)
Americans are the- mdst shiftlcBS peo
ple in the world alwut their domestic
arrangements. Of course we are pa
triotic, and love the public schools, and
Uncle Sam, and all that sort of thing,
but we do not live as comfortably as wc
might, or as economically. Not one
American in twenty has a comfortable
home.
.The superior diligence, application and
ingenuity taken to brew Heurich's makes It
the most popular beer in the city.
