The many friends of DR.. J. B. Lee of this

he has been very sick for several days, hav-

neuralgia which has afflicted him about the
eye SO badly that for time it was feared
that he might loose one of his eyes. Later
however strong hopes of saving that organ
has been entertained. Other complications
seem to effect his head which make his case
severe and causes him intense suffering.

hundred and twenty-five columns con

on this octuple issue, the Herald says !:

POSTMASTER GENERAL HOWE, who
died at his home in Wisconsin on Sun
day, was in his sixty-ninth year. His
life was largely spent in politics. From
a Maine legislator he became a Wis
consin Supreme Court Judge, and in
1861 was sent to the United States
Senate. He entered the Cabinet Of
President Arthur in 1881, and as Post
master General was not a very striking
success. Frank Hatton, his first as
sistant, has run the department pretty
much as he pleased, and he has
pleased to run it in the interest Of
Frank Hatton whenever he could. Mr..
Howe was very mediocre sort Of man
but his integrity was never questioned.

Mr.. SWIGGETT's scheme to i'm
prove IN the Peninsular mail service
by taking the route agent off the early
morning train going North and put
ting mail on the afternoon train going
South, is not received with favor by the
people Of the upper Peninsula. Such
an arrangement would undoubtedly
cause great inconvenience to the bust
ness men Of the towns between Dover
and Wilmington. If Mr.. Swiggett has
no better plan than this to offer for the
i" improvement" Of the Peninsular mail
system, he had better keep his hands
off it and devote himself solely to his

The New Peninsular Route.
TEN HOURS FROM CHERRYsToNE TO
NEW YORK.

TEN HOURS FROM CHERRYSTONE TO
NEW YORK.
General William Painter, president
Of the New York, Philadelphia and
Norfolk railroad, the new line that is
to reach the South by way Of this
Peninsula, tells Baltimore american
reporter that the new line will be be-
tween 90 and 95 miles in length. From
Pocomoke City to Delmar the East
ern Shore railroad will be utilized and
be comprehended in the new system.
General Painter is now having built an
enormous transfer boat, upon which
the cars will be taken from Cherrystone
to Norfolk, and from there they will go
southwark via the Norfolk and Western
railroad. The transfer will be made in
an hour and half, and the boat will
be of such proportions as to be able to
make the trip in the toughest weather.
When asked if the new road would
pay, Gen. Painter said that it would
soon become one of the most lucrative
lines on the Peninsula. Last year there
were shipped from the Virginia portion
over ], ,200,0 900 barrels Of potatoes alone,
besides an enormous amount Of produce.
The new road expects after awhile to
get the bulk Of this tLaffic. OF course,
it will have to contend with the steam
boat companies, but it will use refrig-
orator cars and through trains to New
Y York, which will be run at very rapid
speed. The cars are being specially
built for this purpose. The chief fea-
ture Of the new road, however, will be
its through trains from southern points
to Philadelphia and New i ork. On this
route, it is claimed, tile swiftest posi-
bic time can be made. Parlor cars will
be run without change, being bodily
transported from Norfolk to Cherrvstone
by the transfer steamers. The run
from New York to Cherrystone will be
made in less than 10 hours. For
instance, taking Wilmington as cen
tral point, by the time a train reaches
Baltimore, another train, running at
the same speed would be nearly half
way down the Peninsula, and therefore
much further south than the Baltimore
train. The new road, when in opera
tion, will form coast line along the
greater part Of the Atlantic Shore
The new road is expected to be finished
by next fall. There is plenty of capital
backing it, and it will be completed as
rapidly as possible. Between 500 and
200 laborers will be employed. 1t is
generally understood that the Penn
sylyania company is backing the pro
iect.
