as railroad grabbers has been brought to
a sudden close, Vanderbilt, the original
pattern in that line of fnanciering, main
tains his own, occasionally reaching out
and gobbling up Western road, with
which to extend and ramify his lines in
the new seat of empire. But Vanderbilt
is fast being overhauled by certain young

the South the Pennsylvania giant is swal
lowing up more corporations, and with
them more miles Of iron rail, laid or

of. The total foots up over 5000 miles,
all of which either completed or advan-

ARRAY MashaIICouuty

A party of men entered the village OF
Brewers Mill, Marshall County, few
nights ago, and made desperate attack
upon the residence of Mr.. Brewer, the
postmaster at that place. Mr. Brewer
had had difficulty with some parties
living near the mills, and it is supposed
that the attack was made by them
They broke down the door, and fired
several shots into the house, but without
effect. The party then left, but it is re
ported that they returned night or two
afterward and that fifteen or twenty shots
were fired by them at the Brewer party,
but it is not known whether or not any
damage was done.

TIE MlssIssIrrl LEvEE CHARTER


THE MISSISSIPPI LEvEE CHARTER =
The bill Incorporating the Mississippi
River Levee Company-for the purpose
of building levee from Hickman tC
Tiptonville-has passed the Kentucky
Senate. The Committee on lnterna
improvements, to whom the bill was re-
ferred. after a careful consideration
recommended its passage. Senator Hale
who is evidencing himself one of the
hest workers in the Senate, has charge
of the bill. When through the Senate
MIR. Arnold will put it through in the
House We think there Is no doubt o.
It's final passage.
In addition to the Caldwell bill IN
Congress. appropriating 500, 900 acres OF
Government land to this enterprise, Gen
Sheldon, of La, has bill pending to
levee the west bank Of the Mississippi
from Cape Giradeau to New Orleans, TO
which an amendment has been offered
providing for a levee from the mouth OF
the Ohio TO the foot of No. 10. Shell
don's bill appropriates land enough to do
all the work, and will secure the vote of
every member from the Mississippi
Valley.
The Government owes this appropri-
alton to this section as our share of the
six hundred million acres of public land,
eively shared; besides the levees in the
South were destroyed by the war and it
is the duty of the Government to set her
on her feet again We are advised that
there is reasonable hope that the bill will
pass.
