THENARROW. GAUGE
Railroad from Memphis to the st. Fran.
els River in Arkansas-Intere
ing Points About
The Country Through Which the Line
Runs-A Surveying Party to
Start Out Monday.

A party is expected to 90 out Monday to
arrange for right of way for the Memphis,
Marion and st. Francis river railroad.
Those familiar with the country through
which it is to pass say that in many places
no levee at all will be required and in no
case except for short distances will it be
necessary to raise the road-bed more than
three feet from the surface in order that it
may be above high water mark and out OF
danger of all overflow. Before the war
there was levee from Hopefield to Mound
City which protected that whole country.
During the war it was broken and DO re-
pairs were afterward made on it. Grad
ually it crumbled away and the river is
now washing over the spot. A military
road was surveyed from Mound City,
through Marion and ON to Little Rock, and
in many plaees-it was thrown up consider
ably. Until lately the road has been con-
sidered safe from overflow, and when a
levee is built as intended it will certainly
be rendered so.
Ethan Allen and others are said to have
possessed the original right to a line from
Mound City to Kansas City, and for years
life to build it and see it in opera
ton. About five miles OF it was
thrown up in the direction of
Marion at an expense of some $4,000
or 100000, but work was finally aban-
doned and it is claimed that all the rights
OF the company lapsed and the rights in
the road-bed reverted back to the Original
owners, though it has been understood
that the Kansas City, Springfield and
Memphis railroad became the proprietors
If the former surmise proves correct, Ex-
Gov. Porter, who owns large bodies OF the
land through which it passes, will be
asked for right of way, and if he consents,
as it seems it is his interest to do, the track
will be laid on this old embankment,
which, as has been stated, extends west
about five miles from Mound City. Little
the bed will have to be thrown up some,
but it is said it will follow the old military
road before mentioned. The new line is
intended more for freight than passengers
and trains will stop-if they ever start-at
every mans door, receiving whatever he
designs for delivery in Memphis. :.
There seems TO be little doubt of one
fact-either the narrow-gauge must be
built or the ferryboat John Oyerton
must go out OF business. 1t can
not compete now with the Kansas City
railroad, which receives cotton at its
depot, delivers it under sheds here in the
city, and takes back what goods are need
ed direct, or almost SO, to the persons by
whom they are ordered. Patrons of the
ferryboat must haul their cotton to the
river and convey their goods back into the
country by wagon at a cost twice as great
as that by the railroad. With the pro-
posed railroad, however, the 0verton
would do thriving business.

CALVARY CEMETERY.
All Questions at Issue Between the
Original Owners of the
Land and the Board of Directors Ami
cabIy Arranged.

The Calvary Cemetery matter, which
has been pending for some time, full ac-
count of which was published in the AP-
PEAL, has at last been amicably adjusted
Messrs. S. T. Carnes and John l.. Kerr, a
week or two ago submitted proposition
to the Board OF Directors, setting forth
that their claim amounted to $4,000, and
that upon the payment of thatsum in the
bonds of the company the fence would be
removed and the cemetery company
given clear title to the land. This propo-
sition was accepted by the Board of Di-
rectors, and approved by the bishop of the
diocese, and on yesterday the final details
were arranged, and the matter definitely
settled. While it is to be deplored
that this subject should have been
allowed to go so far as to become a matter
for public discussion, all parties concerned
are to be congratulated upon the easy So
luton of what at one time threatened to
become a serious question, and which
might have caused much trouble and bad
feeling had not both sides acted in good
faith and evinced disposition to come to
just and fair settlement. The result is
one which will give satisfaction to all good
people, irrespective OF creed or religion.

THE SPEAKERSHIP

Contest Narrowed 10 Carlisle and RAN
dali. with the Odds in Favor of the
Former.
Special to the Appeal
WASHINGTON, November 2S.-The Speak
ership reached-a period of absorbing in-
terest to-day, and the opposing candidates
are putting in their moss effective work.
The days developments have confirmed
the threatened disintegration OF the Cox
following, as foreshadowed in last nights
dispatches. There is no doubt that
Mr.. Cox's friends are rapidly de-
serting him and going to the other
candidates. The strange absence of his
New York colleagues has paralyzed Cox
and his adherents who are here. The
fight is now squarely between Randall and
Carlisle. with Cox only as n vapory posi-
Siiity. The Carlisle ald Randall head
quarters to-day were the centers of great
activity, and the friends of each mani
tested an increased enthusiasm. Another
delegation OF prominent business men
and Pennsylvania Democrats arrived in
Washington by an early morning train
and put in an appearance at the Randall
headquarters. An estimate made by
the Randall managers tonight shows that
he cannot get less than ninety-nine on the
final ballot, and will almost certainly
get los, but the Carlisle men
ridicule this estimate. The estimate
includes six votes from Texas, and
Mr.. -Ermentrout EandalPs manager, de-
cares that Randall will get that number
oi votes from Texas. On the other hand,
Carlisle counts on a solid vote from Texas,
and Representative Mills, OF that State,
said tonight that the entire delegation
would, in his opinion, vote for Carlisle.
1t is noteworthy that three OF the
Texas Congressman had long conference
with Randall to-day. Mr.. Cox also called
on Randall and had long conference,
and rumor had it that Cox was to with
draw in favor of Randall, though
Mr.. Cox vehemently denied the
truth Of the report. According to
all appearances, and the claims and esti-
mates on all sides, the fight between
Randall and Carlisle appears TO be nearly
even, with the odds in favor of Carlisle.
Numerous even bets on the result are be-
ing made at the hotels. Joe Hickey, OF
Missouri, and Trainer, OF New York, put
up $1,000 each tonight, the former on Car
isle and the latter on Randall.
