Yesterday the seashore excursion season
opened briskly. About $4,000 people went to
Coney Island by the various rail and steamer
lines, and the rival attractions of Rockaway
drew a large crowd. Some notable improve
ments have been made in the transportation
facilities. The boats of the Iron Steamboat
Company for instance, are more comfortable
and vastly safer than the old wooden craft
heretofore used in the Coney Island trade,
while the new railroad crossing Jamaica Bay,
instead of making a long detOur around it,
which was opened late last season, shortens the
time to Rockaway Beach by nearly half an

Funerals Yesterday.

Two of the largest funerals ever seen in
our city occurred yesterday. The first was
that of Mrs. Hester Gleason, wife of our
worthy friend, Dennis Gleason, whose death
was noticed in our columns. The services
were conducted at the Catholic church by
Rev. Father Marion, and the remains were
followed to the Calvary cemetery by as large
funeral procession as has ever passed
through our streets. The deceased was a
noble woman and excellent wife, beloved
by I'll who knew her. She leaves
husband and six little children to mourn a
loss which is irrepairable. The bereaved
husband is popular and efficient engineer
on the Knoxville and Ohio Railroad He
has the profound sympathies of numerous
friends in his peculiarly sad bereavement.
The funeral of Col. John Williams, whose
life and death are mentioned elsewhere, took
place between and o'clock yesterday
evening, at the residence, east of the city.
| The religious services were conducted by
Rev, DIR. Jas. Park, and although the
| funeral was on short notice and bad weather,
there was an unusually large turnout and
lengthy procession to Gray Cemetery, where
| the remains were inferred

RAILROAD NEWS.
Elizabethton Mountaineer.

A great number of our citizens have had
very little faith in the completion of the rail-
road which was recently surveyed from Bris-
toll to this place. We were at Bristol last
week and had the pleasure of meeting and
conversing with number of it's prominent
and plucky business men, who are extensive
stockholders In the aforementioned road,
and from whom we learned that it would
certainly be built within the next twelve
months. The contracts will be let out In
May and work will be commenced on the
road by the first of July. We can therefore
state to all doubling Thomases in this Sec
ton that the road will surely be built, and
that great deal sooner than the most san
guine have supposed.
AS a people who are DESTROYS of progress
and prosperity, it behooves us to bestir our
selves and do what we can to aid and assist
in the expedition of this road Instead of
lying supinely upon our backs in listless in
activity and luckless laziness, we should
arouse ourselves and be alive to our own in
terests and lend helping hand to every
effort which tends to the development of our
country and its material advancement We
think it would be advisable and highly ad-
| vantageous for our county court to take a
considerable amount of stock in this road.
We shall discuss this matter more extensive
" through these columns in the future.
Cincinnati Gazette's New York Special.
A consolidation of Southern railroads was
completed to-day, which virtually gives the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad control of
all Southern ports. The South Carolina
| Railroad, running from Charleston to
| Augusta, with branch from Branchville to
| Columbia, has leased for ninety-nine years
| the Georgia Railroad, running from Augusta
| to Atlanta, with branch from Camak to
Macon also, the Central Railroad of
Georgia, running from Savannah to Mont
| gomery also, the South Carolina Com
pany guartees to pay to each of the roads
81, 500, 900 a year. The Louisville and
Nashville favored the combination, and it is
claimed this is really a combination of in
terests, which are to be identical for all
traffic on the several roads.
The Louisville and Nashville thus secures
a through line from the West to Charleston,
leaving its heretofore line, the Western and
Atlantic, at Atlanta, and going over the
Georgia and the South Carolina roads also
to Savannah, leaving the main line at Mont
gomery, over the Central of Georgia.
The new scheme, says the Tribune, de
feats contemplated project to create sys
tenn of railroads through the Carolinas
Georgia and part of Tennessee to place
Baltimore on new footing as a market fol
Southern products The scheme was in the
interest of the Virginia Midland Railroad
which it was proposed to extend south tt
Danville The Western North Carolins
Road was to form a part of the system
which w. P. Clyde, Mayor Grace and other
were interested in.

A Mail Boys Crime.

Elzabethton Mountaineer: The young
boy. Jessie Wyatt, who was committed to
jail at this place, last week, for robbing the
mail between here and johnson county, has
confessed his crime. He was arrested on
suspicion at first, but his confession settles
everything. Sheriff Nave, on last Sunday,
followed the directions of the boy, went to
the Skin Pine Ford above this place, and
under an old log near the crossing, found
$141 and some cents of the missing money.
On Monday $81 was found in the room
where the boy was confined, making in all
over 5000 of the stolen property. This
should reflect on the coming fate of this
youthful criminal, whose young life is now
forever bighted by a step in the wrong di-
rection. Nothing contains more truth than
the Bible saying ''be sure your sins will
find you out"

To the ,Suaaday-schools Of Kasor county,:
Owing to a great deal of sickness now
prevailing in the community of Powelrs
Station, we have been obliged to change the
place and time of holding the county Sun
day-school convention to Fountain Head on
Friday and Saturday, the Goth and 21st of
May, 1881.
We regard this as quite fortunate, as we
have often thought that our county conven-
tons should be held after the East Tennes-
see conventions, so that they might enjoy
the advantage of a report from it by our
attending delegates.
Fountain Head, situated five miles north
of our city limits has long been celebrated
for its large grove and mammoth spring
The drive on the Jacksboro turnpike is most
attractive at this season.
The people of Grassy Valley have kindly
consented to entertain the convention Those
who are acquainted with these people know
| what to expect in the way of entertainment.
We are happy to say that unusual interest
has been manifested everywhere throughout
the county in regard to this convention.
This gives evidence of growing interest
and enthusiasm in the work. Already a
large number of Sunday-schools have APP
pointed delegates. We desire full delega-
ton from the city and country, and desig-
nate the first Sunday in May, at which time
each school is requested to appoint at least
three delegates.
The music houses have agreed to furnish
| fine organs and performers for the occasion.
| O1,r. Echnaa ~
will be used. Further announcement of
ushers, organists, choirists and committees
will be made.
A rare programme is being prepared, with
the prospect of a fine list of speakers. AS
our time for preparation has been extended,
we call upon the good people Of our coun-
ty who have at heart the cause of the re-
igious training of our youth, to rally that
this convention may be blessing to om
entire people, W. r. MURPHY,
| Vice-President.
