New Railroad.
C-hattanOOga Times.

A Chattanooga Times reporter was
told the details of a splendid project
now on foot by the Nashville and
Chattanooga railroad and the Tennes-
see Coal, Iron and Railroad Company,
no less than the building of a belt
railroad from Tracy City to encompass
Cumberland Mountain, and to be fol-
lowed by the erection of two furnaces
at an early day, and FIVE furnaces with
in FIVE years.
The precise details could not be
ascertained, but it is known that the
Nashville and Chattanooga railroad
will purchase the branch road of the
Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad
Company running from Cowan to
Tracy City. They will extend this
road from the latter point down Cum
berland Mountain by the Carnard
place to Grifin's creek, and thence
down the valley to Victoria, where il
will connect with the main stem Of the
Nashville and Chattanooga railroad at
Bridgeport. The road from Bridgeport
to Victoria is already complete. The
new line will be thirty miles in
length.
The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail
road Company on its part agrees to
build two furnaces at some point on
the line of the Nashville and Ohatta-
nooga railroad, and to build three more
within the next five years.
II is understood that all the details
and all the papers for this magnificent
project will be signed up and settled
this week, and that work will com
mence on the road within a very short
time.
The result of this grand plan cannot
be estimated. The new road will pierce
the heart Of the finest coal country in
the State, and will aid more in the
industrial development Of the State
than anything done Id years.

is received with favor, and Is likely to be
adopted in every district. We should
strenuously endeavor to send rs our rep.
resentativeS to Washington only such
men as can be relied upon to initiate OF
support legislation in the interests Of the
whole people, and not merely of favored
sections or classes or individuals. We
should strive to send to the Assembly men
of probity and intelligence, and thus up
hold the Governors hands in both
branches Of the Legislature. This cannot
be done unless personal rivalries and am
billions are subordinate to party
welfare. Taking heed Of how much is at
stake on the results of the coming cleo
ton, the Star would strongly recommend
a still further union on the part of Demo-
Gratis, so as to embrace all the nominations
to be made between now and November
It'll. There has not been, within memory,
a year when more genuine satisfaction pre-
vailed among Democrats after the nomi.
nation of their county ticket, and this
feeling should be still further cultivated
and strengthened. No man whose
Democracy is not a false pretense will be
misguided by the suggestions Of intriguers
who hOldoutto them delusive inducements
to desert their party standard Oh the eve
of success. A few individuals, led astray
by their impatient ambitions and a fool
ishly inflated notion of their own impor-
tance, have cast their fortunes with a little
band of unprineipled ofice-seekers now
renewing their usual struggle for control
of municipal patronage. These have made
a insisted fatal to themselves, for they are
doomed to a disappointment OF their hopes
and will not again rise to the surface of
public affairs. 1t must not be forgotten
that the outcome in city and State will be
distinctly an a~Rti-monopoly triumph.
The leading opponents of that principle
found a welcome at the Democratic State
Convention, as the principle itself found
explicit recognition in the platform and
the nominees. The same ideas governed
the deliberations of the County Conven-
ton and found Judgement In a strong and
popular ticket, against which the schemes
of f%actionists viii not prevail. Union
and Harmony Is the motto under which
the Democratic hosts are marching resist
less to victory.

PARIS, KY, October 24.-Prof.
Yerkes, who has charge of a private
school here for boys and young men,
received a painful pistol shot wound
in the right arm this morning at the
hands of Homer 0ldson, one Of bis
students, aged fourteen years. The
Professor yesterday took the lad by
the collar and shook him slightly for
hardness in attendance and failure in
his studies, and requested that a
written excuse be handed in. The
lad brought the excuse this morning,
and as he handed il to the Professor
said, Take this, tool" and fred with
a thirty.twO caliber revolver. The
bullet passed obliquely through the
muscular part of the arm, and by
mere accident missed taking effect on
any Of the pupils. After having the
wound dressed by a physician the
Professor resumed his duties in the
school.

Anew Type. Setting Machine.
Hartford Cor. Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
The most perfect specimen Of a
type setting machine is now substan
tally complete in a private room at
Colts. 1t has yet to stand the test OF
manufacture and actual trial, but as
it now stands it is a marvel of inge-
NOUS and yet not complicated mech
anism. Judged from description, the
machines used by the London Times
are not to be named the same week
with this. According to a recent
account, the Times machine destroys
three or four columns of type a day
aud will not distribute" SO that It
has been found necessary to have new
type cast daily and brought to the
machine in tubes. Now every one
who has seen the Colt machine work
admits that its work in setting type
and distributing it is faultless. By a
very ingenious arrangement it distrib-
utes while it sets, and the work of
distribution being slightly more rapid
than the setting the cases are always
full. The distributor is regulated in
such a way hal the instant the most
frequently used letter case (say that Of
81 is filed the work Of distribution
stops, to be resumed as soon as the
case begins to be emptied. If the
machine will do the work of two men
in setting type land much better than
this is claimed for it,, it a readily be
said to do the work Of four, since the
tedious work OF distribution is dis
posed Of at the same time as a sort Of
side issue. And each letter goes into
its appropriate case as certainly and
regularly as the Yale key fits into its
oan lock. The only doubts about the
machine are as TO the ~''justi6er," but
this is claimed to be complete now,
and certainly it would seem a simpler
thing to arrange this than to have
made the other parts.

The Democratic TidaI Wave.

The New York Sun says that the
Democratic tidal wave which has
started in Ohio, and is running east
ward with great force, calls to mind
the memorable upheaval Of 1874. In
that year the tidal wave started in
Ohio and Indiana, both Of which
voted in October, and were carried by
the Democrats by a majority Of more
than 1900. 1t then swept through
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York,
Connecticut ard Massachusetts,, the
Democrats electing CASTOR for Gov
ernor by 1892 majority. Theaggregate
Democratic majority in the seven
States was III 900. In the same States
the Democrats elected sixty eight
members Of Congress, and the Repub-
licans only forty-seven. Why should
not the tidal wave Of this year equal
that Of 1874? It's magnitude eight
years ago was largely owing to the
dissatisfaction of Republicans with
their own party. Republican dissat.
isfaotion is stronger and more threat
ening now in several Of these States
than it was then.

1t ia advisable to dig potatoes be.
fore the heavy fall rains occur. II
the ground is muddy the potatoes can
rot be- taken out of il in a clean con.
dition. The soft dirt will remain on
them and greatly injure their appear
ance. Potatoes that are dirty can not
be marketed to good advantage and
are in a bad state to handle at home.
Still, it is not a good plan to harvest
potatoes till near the time when the
fall rains generally occur. While the
weather is quite warm they will keep
better in the ground, whore they
grew, than in any place that is avail.
aole for storing them Potatoes
should be exposed to the action of the
sun as short q time "a possible after
they are dug. The sunlight affects
them unfavorably, and If they arc ex.
poaed TO it for a long time their value
for table purposes is completely do
stroyed. All have noticed that tubers
from which the dirt has been washed
away are green in color and that they
have a disagreeable taste. They are
poisonous when eaten. II the soil ia
dry when potatoes are dug they should
lie on the ground but a very short
time before they are gathered up.
The beat place to store them is a csol
aud tolerably dry cellar. They may
DO kept, however, very well in heaps
above the ground if they are covered
iudiciously. The heap should be on
tolerably high ground so that water
will not collect. A ditch should be
dug round the place to carry off the
water that falls. The heap should be
covered frat with straw and then with
earth, which should be of sufficient
thickness to prevent tho action of
frost. Additions Rhould be made to
the covering of earth if the weather
becomes very cold. In digging pota-
toes it is advisable to sort out the
small ones and feed them to stock.

Guernseys,and Jerseys.

A. Nj. Williams, of Syracuse, New
York, says: 81 have been acquainted
with Guernseys and Jerseys for about
thirty years, aGd met them frat on
their own islands, where l studied
them with interest. Then the Chan
mel island cattle all went under the
name of Attorneys, and the islands
we're known as the Attorney islands,
at least in England, where L saw at
the steam packing office at Southamp-
ton posters bearing this name. But
the Guernseys were then much more
like what they are now than the Jer-
seyn were like what they are. Indeed,
the Guernseys were considered better
than the smaller Jerseys for butter
and milk, but the fawn.like Jerseys
were preferred because of their slender
gracefulness. / have been in the way
of knowing something of both these
breeds since then, and l claim as my
belief not only that l think an aver
age Guernsey is better than an average
Jersey--not the creme de la creme, of
course--but the Guernsey breeders
think so too. l quote the following
from The London Agricultural Ga.
zette to the same effect: "Although
little or no grain is fed, the yield of
butter from a mature Guernsey cow is
expected to average n pound a day
for the year, and there are many
trustworthy statements of COWS max
ing fourteen and fifteen Guernsey
pounds of butter, equal to sixteen
pounds and eighteen pounds of our
weight, per week, without the forcing
food that in this country has ruined
many q fine COW by unnatural stimu-
lation for the purpose of making O
great butter record" Moreover, my
opinion is that the Jersey butter is
neither remarkab for it's firmness nor
it's color as compared with Guernsey
butter. Indeed, know it, and know
that the butter of my Ayrshires is
harder at this season, and has been
the last month, and also in the winter
than that of my Jerseys. And l find
the mixture Of my dairy very owen
lent, because in the winter the Jerseys
soften the Ayrshires' butter, and in the
summer the Ayrshires harden the Jer-
sey butter. But l confess / have no
Alphea, nor any Rex, nor Commassie
in mine, my Jerseys not ever being
recorded, although eligible, because
they are kept for butter only, and that
won't pay the expense Of the recording
even, much less to pay 81 600 or $4,000
for o COW.
Let us take the Jersey as a class
the IL, ZOO or 10000 or more of the
common onea-with the 100 of phe-
nomenal COWS, and average the lot,
and 1 think and believe that there are
enough of wretchedly poor ones among
the crowd to obliterate the whole rec.
ord of the fancy ones. l look at this
from the farmers point of view, and
/ dare maintain hal the farmers are
not favorably inclined to the Jerseys
as a race. Aud this is reasonable when
a ten-pound.a-week COW is valued al
$500, a fourteen-pound cow at 5000 oi
81, 600, etc, and a twenty-pound COW
at 49, 900 or $4,0 ZOO. Mr.. Williams
thinks the highest value of the jersey
breed is for its bulls, used for pro
ducing breeds.

rested to-day charged with the assassination
of John Walton near st. Paul, Indiana, last
night Frazer confessed and said he had
been promised large reward by o. Gar
rett, neighbor living near him, if he
would kill Walton. Garrett was arrestcdand
taken to the Justices office, where before
the trial began he obtained permission to
go to an clubhouse with the guard. Sud
denly drawing revolver he shot him

wound. He retained consciousness long
enough to make dying statement and de-
MED he hired Frazer to do the killing, but
he indicated Walton's wife was more likely
to be the one. 1t is stated that Garrett and
Mrs. Walton have been suspected of init
macy for some time. Citizens are much
excited.
