When the railroad from New Orleans tc
Mobile was completed last year, there was
general rejoicing among that class OF our
citizens whose business arrangements com.
pei them to remain in the vicinity of theiI
homes all the year round. There had been
a steamboat monopoly of travel to Mobile
and the watering places, and the opening
of the railroad route gave bright promise
of better accommodations and reduced
fares.
That promise, in fact, was realized at
once. The railroad reduced Mobile fares
to five dollars, and watering place fares IN
proportion. The steamboats, cut down the
Mobile fares to two dollars, and watering
place rates were down to that point where
they could almost be termed ruinOusly
low. Under the impetus of improved
travelling accommodations and low fares,
parties who could not make summer tour
to the North or to Europe, thought they
were safe in purchasing lots or residences
at the watering places, and there was a
brisk demand for this class of property.
This season, however, the boats have
been withdrawn and railroad fares in
creased, and the watering places viii be
likely to lose their charms to those who
will not visit them when travelling charges
are above reasonable rates This fact is
amply demonstrated on the trains that
leave here daily, bearing but comparatively
few pleasure seekers.
Excursion tickets have been arranged at
much less than schedule rates, which may
be obtained in New Orleans, but can not be
had at any of the stations on the route to
Ocean Springs. The management of the
Mobile railroad certainly owe to the travel
ing public an immediate reduction of every
class of their tickets on the route, and if
the directory at New York could under
stand the position of affairs here we have
no doubt satisfactory reduction would be
ordered Immediately. Let them also make
do from it. As Paris is France, SO New
Orleans is Louisiana, and as Louisiana has
materially aided in the construction of this
important railroad link, let her citizens
realize the benefit of low fares and the re-
suits that will follow in an increase of visit
ors and trade to our great Southwestern
metropolis.
We believe that Mr.. G. w. R. Bayley, the
superintendent of the road, has been and is
an advocate of low fares, and hope that the
directory will concur with his recommends
lions urging reduction, knowing that he
will be sustained by the press and the trav-
eling|and business community Of New Or
leans and the watering places. New Or
leans wants business. We can get it by the
encouragement of low fares and low freights
held out to those who will OF will not come
here to visit and trade, according as induce
ments are presented to them,
New Orleans wants adjacent ungs to
breathe in during the hot summer months,
and these lungs are, to great extent, our
watering places on the line of the Mobile
railroad These watering places can be
made prosperous or be impoverished, ac-
cording to the facilities possessed by the
travelling public in reaching them. There
fore, we appeal to the directory Of this road
to give US the advantage of low fares.

road to serve several months in prison
Not long ago he was sent before the Grim
inal Court for crime, but jumped his bond
and went to Carrollton, where he assumed
another name. 1t is suspected that he per
petrated several offenses in that section
A few nights ago he visited one of his old
haunts in the First District, and was IN
able to behave himself. He was pursued
and cornered by the police, but he defed
them tor several hours. He was finally cap
tured, and his on precious person was found
