F. L. HORTON, who lives in dread Of mob
law unless President Kennedy changes the
plans upon which the Peoples railway is to
be presented to the credulous fools who can
be talked full' of the scheme and talked
out" of their money, still seems to represent
that delectable organization. The Lafayette
Journal, of yesterday, announces the move
ments of "F. NJ. Horton, of the Peoples rail
way" while the Journal was favored with a
letter from him, written at the Lair House,
or the Goth, in which ne says 1--WE will
stay right with you" and talks as largely
about our company as Mr.. Kennedy him
self possibly could. Anyone who desires to
invest in 'our company" should make the
acquaintance of the fly" Mr.. Horton, the
apparent financial and confidential agent of
the company.

THE names Of some honorable and reputa-
jng and ability, are still used for the promot-
don of the Peoples railway scheme. With
out charging deliberate and intentional fraud
in the inception and organization of the COM
pany, it must be apparent to any man OF COM
mon intelligence and experience in affairs
that the proposition is a monstrous delusion,
and that no man who is induced to puts dol
lar into it can reasonably expect to realize a
cent or a mill from the investment. There can
never be a mile of the road built or
possibly a spadeful Of dirt turned.
1t is impossible that there should
be any other result than the absolute loss Of

comfortably in any part of England on $3.50

THE Journal is in receipt of both a visit
and a letter respecting the publication, on
Saturday last, concerning the Peoples Rail-
way Company. We are informed, through
both media, that we have rendered ourselves
liable to criminal prosecution. If we could
venture TO give advice to the officers and
agents of this organization we should say to
them to begin the criminal prosecution at
once. The courts are open; let the pro-
ceedings commence.

eight years claiming to have recovered the

announced. The paper says:
1.-THE paper now passes largely to new owner
ship and wholly to new editorial control, al
though it will continue to benefit by the energy,

endeavor to unite moral responsibility, and,
mindful of its own reputation, which it will
seek zeal0usly to guard, and of its duty as a pub

This is certainly a very new and a very de-
cided departure. The Herald. with more charac-
ter, will be a newspaper oreditable even to
Chicago journalism.

MARTIN HIGGINS, a locomotive engineer in
Tennessee, was recently buried under his engine
in a wreck. His comrades rushed to his aid, for
he was being literally roasted alive. when he
cried TO them to leave him alone and to flag the
fasl-approaching express tram. He was fatally
burned and is dying. A similar exhibition of
heroic fortitude was made by engineer Marshall
Dunn. on a Maryland road. While the train was
p~lunging down a long grade on a high ridge. a
fue burst and he was frighttully scalded. Des-
pite his intense agony he staid at his post until
he could apply the air brakes, when he fell in
sensible to the floor of his cab. When he was
taken out his body was burned beyond recogni-
riou. What a contrast is there between such he
roic deaths and that of Captain Webb, who
threw his life away in a vain attempt to satisfy
his vanity. There are heroic sacrifices on every
hand that put to shame such exploits as Webb's.

Because at this season Of the year mos
quitos, tieas and gnats begin to live on
those shrewd Floridians who have lived
the winter through on the health or pleas
urs hunting tourist, the busybodies at
Washington are assigning reasons for the
Presidents trip to the Lands Of Flowers.
They are making all kinds OF guesses. 1t
doesn't seem 10 have occurred to them that
he went because he wanted to 90. This
would be motive enough for an ordinary
man, but the President Of the United
States Is always the one citizen Of the re-
public who Is not ordinary. Assuming
that he Is moved by no ordinary springs,
the DRIFT Of busybody opinion Is that the
President left Washington and went to
Florida rather than New York because he
is no longer on good terms with his old
political friends and wished to avoid them.
This matter Of the Presidents "old Gro.
mics" has given the gossips q world of
trouble. Before he was warm in his seat
they were at the pains TO demonstrate with
the clearness OF problem in geometry that
his administration could not be successful,
because he would be handicapped with
