A proposition h? establish a State-owned railroad from ( hicago to Savannah, (la., was suggested to Corporation Counsel l/Cwis by Governor lfokc Smith, of Georgia, in a letter, (lov. Smith declared that such a line would re ?1&C? freight rales and would have a K''cat iiillueuec on trade rela,:'Ui? with the South. The letter says; "I am much interested in the rnil road rates trom the lakes to Georgia. Our State owns a railroad from At lanta to Chattanooga and there is a Mrong sentiment in favor of extend ing it to Savannah. If Cincinnatti could reclaim control of the line built bv its citizens from Cincinnati to Chicago, and Cincinnati! and Chicago would join a movement for the con struct ion of a line from Chicago to Savannah, there might, be a through trunk line from Ccicago to Savannah, operated solely for the purpose of paying expenses ami interests of the actual cost of construction without the burdens of watered 'stocks and bonds. Such a line would prove ben eficial not only to the great cities through which it passed but to a broad territory adjacent to the line. It would reduce freight rales more tbiiu "2;") per cent. It would have a most marked influence on our trade relations." Five Business Houses Burn. Pittsburg, Pa., Special.?A fire which threatened the destruction of several city blocks in Alleghaney, across the Alleghany river from Pittsburg, destroyed live business buildings aud three dwelling houses, <? causing an aggregate loss of $200, D00. Four fire companies were sent to Alleghany from this city to tight the flames, and a number of firemen l)od narrow escapes from falling walls. The fire originated from ^ an explosion in the basement of Ken yon 's dry goods stroe and Meeting Hall, a five-story structure and quick ly spread to other buildings. What caused the explosion is not known.

LEGISLArUHk ADJOUHNS What Was Done by the Legislature During the Suasion That Ended Saturday Night. The legislature of South Carolina closed us session and adji timed sine die on Saturday ?i v**ti i i?k . 11 had been a busy, I>iit raI hot Iiiii HidiiiiMiii body, ami (lie tired members ere glad to j?t*l away. The ('arey-C \>tInnit hill was signed by iIn' governor at 1 :11 Sunday morning and litis most important 11iof legislation was rltiM'il and by the terms tin* lii 11 the I'ntiri' State was put under absolute prohibitum until tin- proper steps can be taken to put the new law granting counties the i ig-ht to ha\e dispensaries i it I?? operation. Through an ? >tli?? in 1 advertisement (l?>vernj?r Ausc| hits ordered every dispensary in the State dosed at <?n<e, and. under the order, they are to remain closed until the new county boards of eoiitrol me appointed and commissioned. This order was issued Saturday niglil by the tjoveruor. There will be prohibited in South t'arolina until the new plan of eon trolling the whiskey Ira (lie is in oper ation. This may lake several weeks, though in some eouuties it will not tnko very long. In Orangeburg county, lor instance, the new county buifid has already been selected and reconini<Mrdcd to the Governor, and as soon as lie issues the commissions the board can take chaj'ge. If the new administration decide# to purchase (In ?i:>cks of present dispensaries, (lie dispensaries can be reopened with very little delay. It is possible that in some counties the present hoards and present dispensers may all be reap pointed but in others there will he radical changes. The Carey-Cot hran bill is now in full force ;iml elTeel, and il legislates out of otlu.c every dispensary official, no matter what may lie his position, high or low. From lit** board of di rectors and comniisioners of the State, dispensary down to county dispensary clerks aiuj bottle washers, they are ajl out ? > 1 Wicc. There 'JtKI or .'{00 pet?.oiis thus thrown out of positions, and a large number of these hold positions in the hiwholesale cl\s ]x'i:sary in Columbia. Some of tho county dispensers and their clerks, i may retain their position under the new law, hut their jobs in the Stale ' dispensary are gone. In 1111? positive colunut of legisla tion perhaps the Frost bill, to inves tigate I he tailroads through an inter session commission of six members of the General Assembly, should rank i next to the dispensary legislation. This commission is intended to work out the Charleston problem lirst. but its powers are great and it Wiay take np inter-State and intra-Stnte rates, ! schedules, equipment, freight, delays ' and many other matters vitally af fecting the people of the State, j Also a far-reaching effect wffi be i the act outlawing dealing in futures ! in this State. This is the Georgia law on tire subject and not only does away with bucket-shops but forbids buying or selling except in a legiti mate way. In this the House bad its way, having substituted its bill l'or the Sanders bill passed in the Senate. Vet another verv. important act passed was the Johnson pure food act. which prevents the sale or manu facture of raiRbranded or deleterious or poisonous drugs or foods. Of still more importance is^ft new act limiting tjie .hours of labor in the cotton mills and other factories to (?*2 a week, beginning next July, p.nd (>0 hours a week after next Jan. nary 1, With the proviso that (10 hours lost fim? may be made np in the course of a~'-?,,tr. A companion act is that amending the child labor act so as to forbid Women and child ion under 1! working after night. Tlu* iwt l?>??ki!?^r to..tlie establish ment ol high schools throughout the State is of* special importance to the rural districts, it is limited to towns of ],000 population or less. It pro vides Cor a special h?vv, not exceed ing- two mills in any school district desiring such a hiy.li school, and ear ries an anproprialion of $,50,000 for aid through ;i Stale"hii;h school hoard to poorer riot*. The present !.c/^i>lalure made ap propriiitiou totailintr nearly a milli'in and a halt, about $1200,000 more than can he raised by the reduced levy combined with the oilier sources of income, in spite of Ihe fact that the tax values have increased $2.1,1)00. It increased the pension appropia tion to S-i.jO.OOO, hut rofiued to make any other changes as to pensions, the House itself killing the hill to appro priate >l.">.OO0 lor artificial limbs for veterans, l! voted $'2,.>(10 for t!ie veterans' reunion, but Senator 1'rooks hill to establish n veterans' inliima ry was acain killed. This legislature was particularly liberal to tli?? colleges, which e-caped lui-; year without any attacks. Win ihrop ui'ts $20,000 to add to a dona lion of Jr2'?.000 for a practical sehool, which will have lho effect of making room for about 2f?0 mo re* girls, Pres ident Johnson say*. It decided, however, that it would not help the newly <$tabli*he<| indus trial school ton. bo' s at Florence; the $6.">.000 for building^. It lokoed too much like another ' State institu tion budding into existence. The c;f lerprifcO seems stranded with a $2'J, O00 site on hand.
