Creek, at Glen Union aud at Lock Haven. The
city contains over twenty thousand inhabitants
whose subsistence is almost wholly d erlved from
the lumber interest. The lumber boom, and
dam at the upper end Of the town, cost over a
million of dollars to erect it, and it contains at
the present time an amount of timber, even at
greater sum- Not only is this vast property
10 great danger but the entire city is more or
less in jeopardy. A meeting Of the most
Influential men of the town was held here to-
day at the Lunbermen'S Exchange for the

Col. J. G. FoREAcRE- We are reliably To-
formed that this cleaver gentleman and superior
railroad manager, at present superintendent OF

take charge, on the lst proyno as general sup

Midland and Great Southern road, with head
quarters at Alexandria, Va. Our citizens know
Col. Foreacre WE'LL and remember his connec-
ton with the Western railroad. While expen.
ses went down under bis management, the re-
venue went up, aud accidents ceased. But the
Western was only one Of his numerous positions
which has given him such az enviable reputa-
ton in his profession. We are thoroughly ig-
norant iu regard to the past management OF
the Virginia Midland. but with our faith Ia
Col. f., we do not believe that it can have been
80 good as to leave no room for Improvement
under his administration. We have often
heard the meu 90 the Western road speak OF
Col. Forcacre's unceasing watchtulness. More
than one employee lost his official head for re-
living upon the midnig ht or early morning hour
to protect him in some neglect of duty Unlike
some superinteudents, whose dignity never al
lows them to leave their cushioned chair and
comfortable Office Col. Foreacre was certain to
pounce down upon them, and as railroad boys
call it, send them home as passengers. The

ability. As we understand it, the road is work
ed as southern branch Of the Baltimore &
Ohio, Of which Col. Thomas r. Sharp is gen
eral superintendent Col. Sharp, thong h Vlr-
giniau, was long enough among US to give us an
appreciation of his talents, and the removal OF
such citizens as Col. Foreacrc and himself is
serious loss to our section. But having gone,
the best wishes of our community accompany

Columbus (Ga. Times
In common with all who knew COL Forcacre,
we endorse our Columbus contemporary most
heartily with the correction that The railroad
guide shows that the Virginia Midland with its
Warrenton Il Manassas branches aggregates 3l5

Atlanta can lily afford to lose such citizen and

element consequent upon the late tragedy on

the affair is now only talked about as one OF the
most dreadful that ever happend 10 Prince
Georges. The body Of the ravisher and would
be suicide was taken down from the tree upon
which it was hanging about five o'clock yes,er-
day afternoon by some soldiers from Fort Foote
and an inquest was held upon by Justice j.:
2. kerby, acting Coroner, and the Jury, OF
which DR.. j. B. Kerby, was the foreman,
rendered a verdict that the deceased came to
his death by being hanged by some parties to
