THE
KNOXVILLE CHRONICLE FOR 1879
Subserib- ior a Good, Reliable News
paper.

The DAILY CHRONICLE, and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE,
viii be kept up during the year
1879 to their usual high standard.
By enterprise, accurateness, and
close attention to the wants of our
readers, we hope to merit contin-
uation of the liberal patronage
heretofore extended these journals.
Nearly nine years ago, when
there was not Republican daily in
the State, and only two or three in
the South, we commenced tho pub
LEGATION of the CHRONICLE. In all
these years we have battled for Re
publican principles, and see no
reason to change our course now.
Hence we shall continue to publish
truthful, reliable Republican
journal, not the organ Of any man
or clique, but the outspoken and
fearless advocate of principles,
measures and men, best calculated
to promote the welfare Of the
country and the Republican party,
We will endeayor to make cur
agricultural columns worth more to
farmers than our subscription price.
AS newspaper our publications
shall not be excelled in the State.
In addition to our telegraphic dis
patches from all parts Of the world,
our readers shall have the benefit Of
correspondence and every other
means through which reliable jnfor~
nation is obtained,
Each number of the paper will
contain selections made with special
reference to the home circle. We
will continue to avoid everything
calculated to contaminate, and will
publish paper that may be taken
question within the sacred
precints of the family circle.
Our market reports shall have
close attention, and be made entire
ly correct and reliable.
We call upon all persons inter-
ested in the publication Of our in
dependent, fearless, reliable Repub
lican journal to come to our aid and
assist in extending the circulation
of the DAILY CHRONICLE and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE.
In view Of the financial pressure
upon the country and the general
reduction of values, we have decided
to reduce the price of the WEEKLQ
WIG AND CHRONICLE to suit the
times. In the fulure we will send
cur weekly paper to subscribers on
the following.

RAILROAD BUILDERS ATTENTION.
A NEW .RAIL-INPORTAN limo
WALTON IN RAILWAY CON
STRUCTION.
Ed. APPEAL:

Ed. APPEAL:
Until recently it was the intention of the
Boston, Winthrop and Point Shirley Railroad
Company to use 40 pound per yard L rails in
the construction of the road, but after full
investigation, and by the Endorsement and
advice of the best railroad engineers, it was
ecided to use 20 pound per yard angle rails,
bolted to substantial wooden stringers, which
are placed ordinary ties, and by which
dangers proceeding from broken rails are
avoided, and large saving made in cost OF
construction. The contract for the rails and
completion of the road has been signed by
the President of the Angle-Iron Railway
Construction Company. The rails will arrive
this week, and track laying will begin imme-
diately. 1t is believed that the construction
of this road will make a new era in the his
tory of railroads, and that a complete revolu-
ton in construction will take place.
The above appeared some time ago in one
of the Boston journals, and it is probable that
the new rail has been submitted to working
test. An old railroad engineer is highly
pleased with it, only he suggests the use OF
angle steel rails instead of iron, and since the
grand izzle of the late Legislature in its mock
attempts to reduce fares and freights on our
focal roads, he has written east to obtain
reliable facts on the subject.
Angle steel rails ought to be obtained at a
considerably cheaper rate per ton than 7 rails.
William j. Nichols, civil engineer, in his
RaiJ,Oay Builder, published last year, says:
can angle rail recently presented to the
writer's notice seems very sensible idea, and
in many instances it could certainly be used
to decided advantage"
This seems to be one of those instances
when freight on rails is very important
item, and where timber for stringers ought
not to cost over $40 per thousand feet board
measure.
This engineer is Of the opinion that road
of the kind can be built from Reno to the
divide between Washoe and Carson valleys,
with one branch from there to Carson and
another to Virginia for from $780, 600 to
$3.50, OO0 over the steepest part of which an
engine can haul at least two-thirds more
freight than on the V. Sc T. road from the
Carson river to Virginia There may be nu-
triment in this Let there be "more light. .

HANGED IN EFFIGY.

The following is from last evenings Gold
Hill Meas: Last fall J. P. Flannery of Gold
Hill was placed in nomination for the Assem-
bly, by the Republicans. BY the result of the
election Mr.. Flannery was authorized to prefix
"Hon." to his name and sit in the Legislature
for sixty days He went to Carson, but
seems not to have pleased his constituents by
his course there. At any rate he has been
greatly inveighed against since his return.
The feeling excited has increased somewhat
in intensity of late and eliminated last even
ing. This morning those who we're about
early and passed up or down the road saw
limned on the sky what appeared to be a
corpse dangling from the tramway to the
Justice dump and suspended directly over the
highway 1t was a well-done effigy of Hon. j.
p. Flannery. This was allowed to ''pollute
the air" for while and was then taken down
and placed on cart for bier to which were
attached two goats and thus hearsed was
started up the street. The boys were little
on their beer too and seemed to enjoy the
thing better and better the further they
went with it, and so it passed up the
hill and over the divide and into Virginia.
The programme now is to " wake" the efigy
tonight at Fitzpatrick's saloon in Lower
Gold Hill, and to bury it omorrow The
boys say Flannery went back on them and
''fell down" in the Legislature, and they
''set him up again last night, and propose
to stltfen his backbone for him.

The complete break down of OLeary in
the champion walking match, at Gilmore's
Gardens, New York, will be great disap-
pointment to his hackers, as well as to far
wider circle, which had confidence in his phys
ical endurance and pluck. 1t appears that his
strength was unequal to the great strain, COM
ing 80 soon after his match with Campana.
Indeed, if the conditions on which O'Leary
held the Ashley belt had not made it impera-
tive upon him to walk or surrender the trophy
it was only to have been expected that the
champion would have refrained from an ex-
haustive struggle with fresh and skillful pedes
TRANS this year. But OLeary was as game a
anan as ever took the track in walking match,
and he only gave up when his physicians pro-
nounced his life in danger. The interest in
the match is perhaps heightened by the with
drawal of OLeary, as it leaves the result
about level between the Engishman, Rowell,
and the American favorite, Hartman.

THE NEW FREIGHT DEPOT.

A Longstreet, foreman of the large gang
of carpenters at work on the freight house
has a plan stretched out on boards which
shows it as plain as a new zincograpb. The
ground plan is 2S4 by 46 feet and extends
from the east line of Virginia street to the
east side of Center street, leaving the former
wide open, which improvement alone half
pays for the fire. The house is to set on q
platform covering the whole space of 234 feet
and will be $50 feet long by 26 feet wide. In
the east end will be Mr.. Higgins office, in
the west Mr.. Earl's, with the wareroom be-
tween. On each side will be four large slid
ing doors. The roof will be of the best red
wood shingles extending eight feet over, all
around, braced with handsome beveled brack-
cts with rustic casing, eight feet apart. The
finishing will be beveled all through and the
sides win be redwood rustic. Each facade
will have circular window with a fancy
toothpick at the peak, The color has not
been decided upon but will be neat and har-
monious. The building will be frst-class i'll

decided upon its future plans. 1t may use

SUNDAY SCHOOL LITERATURE.

We would like to suggest to the American
Sunday School Union that it is pretty nearly
time that the quality of the Sunday school
literature furnished to our youth was slight
ly improved. We do not wish to appear
hypercritlcal, but are moved to remark that
the average of Sunday school books and pa
pers which are furnished to the scholars are
unfit for the intellectual consumption of
even the lowest order of intelligence of the
youngest of the pupils. By this we do not
mean to be understood claiming that their
moral tone is bad, for such is not the case OK.
cept so far as they inculcate false ideas of life
and instil into the minds of the young super
stitions and dogmas that the world has long
since outgrown and discarded as the sheerest
balderdash. In literary point of view, few
of them are worthy of criticism. The sapient
brains that gave them birth no doubt will
feel insulted and aggrjeved at this remark,
but truth compels its utterance.
Take q book at random from the shelves
of any of the Sunday school libraries, and
you will invariably find that it contains
dismal, commonplace story, all the points
or ag1 eeable situations it contains being OBJ
scured by dry homily upon various relig-
GUS themes, presented in their most repug-
nant light. The reader is taught no higher
impulse to induce him to shun evil and do
good than the hope of reward or the fear of
punishment. The great principles that un-

Working Men and Merchants at Coope,,.
Hat.
A large gathering of workingmen, mer
chants and citizens was held in Cooper's hal
Friday evening, for the purpose of discussing
the issuance of the $25O,OOO bonds for the
! construction of the proposed system of mar
row guage railroads, Ed. Cramsie in the
chair. The following resolution was put:
WHEREAS Political science has determined
that the producer and consumer should be
| brought together; therefore,
ReSolyed, That the best interests of Mime
apolis demands that her citizens should vote to
issue bonds to the amount of $25O,OOO, at per
cent, for thirty years, as bonus to secure the
projected $50 miles of narrow gauge railroads.
John McGurke moved that the resolution
be laid on the table. He was opposed to the
project because he did not see how it would
benefit the working people. 1t would
tend to bring men here who conld
not find employment It would benefit real
estate owners only. If they were the only
per sons to be benefited they should build
the roads. He had computed if the city
numbered 100000 they would be taxed 1925
each to pay this burden. He referred to
many places which had over -burdened them
selves in the same way it was now proposed
to do at Minneapolis. He took occasion to
censure the lavish outlay on city officers
salaries, such as 1926 and $14 per day, while
working men could earn no more than $1.25.
It was the duty of the working men to vote
the measure down. (Cheers)
Mr.. Krech thought the resolution should
be discussed on its merits. The question
was, did the railroads bring consumer and
producer together. He thought it advisable
to leave the phrase out, and substitute some
thing else, or discuss it on social science
basis.
Mr.. Bassett would like to know if it was 9
benefit to the people on the line offthe roads,
Mr.. Krech replied it was benefit, but it
cost too much.
Mr.. Smith hated railroads because he had
been nearly killed by them often enough.
He thought for all that the Minneapolis
road (the st. Louis) was all right, but the
St. Paul roads were not. He would be for
the bonds and have railroads of their own,
independent of the St. Paul and the Eastern
roads.
John Mccarthy was against the bonds. IF
the railroad was such blessing there we're
plenty of rich men in the city to club to-
gether and build them without asking the
man with shovel on his shoulder to pay
for them. The Tribune reporter did not 60
to the workingman for his opinion, but to
the bankers, but now they find the working
men mean to speak, they come here and
ask the workingmen to help them get the
Daily globe., 1879-03-23

The frantic appeals of the Minneapolis
Tribune to citizens of that city to walk up
and vote debt of a quarter of million
dollars upon themselves are amusing The
Iribu7ae's chief stock in trade is the an
nouncement that st. Paul opposes the issue
of the bonds. This is the height of absurd
ity. If Minneapolis wants to vote ten
millions upon herself st. Paul will not
worry on the subject. The tax in ST. Paul
is thirteen mills and we propose to make it
lower next year. In Minneapolis the tax is
more than twice as much, and if they want
to make it ten times as much no one in
St. Paul Objects The people up there
should not be bamboozled into the
idea that St. Paul is opposed to Minneap-
oils narrow gauge schemes, but should vote
upon the question upon its merits. AS far
as St. Paul takes any interest in the matter
it is in favor of the bonds. There are those
here who are unkind enough to say that they
want to see Minneapolis load herself down
with taxes, and every one would be glad to see
her build railroads, which are sure to ternni-
nate in st. Paul. If the question was put to
q vote in st. Paul, the ballot would be unani-
mons in favor of allowing Minneapolis to
90 into debt as much as possible and build
all the railroads, in every direction, she
wishes,
