Two Important Railroad Enter
nriSes in Florida


An attentive and watchful Cedar Keys
correspondent, writing to the MORNING
NEWS under date of February 18th, con-
veys to US the interesting information of
the notice of the incorporation of two
very important railroads in Southern
Florida under the general law of the
State of Florida for the incorporation of
railroads and canals in the State. The
incOrpOratOrs of these two highways
which, from their position and connection,
must add greatly to the wealth and COM
mercial interests of the State, are well
known, and are backed by some of the
strongest and best known railroad capt.
talists of the continent, and are de-
termined to put them through without I'M
necessary delay.
The first of these roads, of which Robert
VI. CHATTER, o. J. Parker, Thomas W.
Davis and VIM. Blakeney are the original
body corporate, is known as the Suwan-
nee River and Deadman's Bay Railroad.
This projected railroad will run from New
BranfOrd, on the Live Oak branch, and
the present terminus of that branch of the
Savannah, Florida and Western Railway,

Of Mexico, which cannot but tell
fayOrably upon the commercial and
internal interests of this interesting sec
ton of South Florida. Dead-man's Bay,
the proposed terminus on the Gnlf coast
of Florida. has safe and practicable haT-
Dor, reached by pier at which, says our
correspondent, ships drawing eighteen
feet of water can lie at anchor at all times.
This bay is situated nearly midway be-
tween Appalachee Bay and Cedar Keys, at
the mouth Ofthe Steianhatchee riven, wOich
enters it. A survey of the harbOr has
been made, and the engineer returned to
Cedar Key ON Tuesday night last.
The other road referred to by our cor
respondent, and incorporated under the
same incOrpOratOrs, is known as the An
clOte and Indian River Railroad. This
contemplated road is to run from AnclOte
Key, at the mouth of AnclOte river, in
direct line across the Southern PENN
sula sOutheastward to the inlet of Indian
river on the Atlantic coast, traversing
and opening up the finest section of
Florida, and thus giving egress to the
markets of the world of the finest oranges
and fruits of that favored semi-trOpical
region. 1t will also supply a long felt
want in getting the requisite merchants
supplies and breadstuff for South Florida,
and open and develop one of the finest
sections in the country.
We have examined critically the map
sent indicating these two important lines
of communication through a section of
country whose only want is communica-
ton with the outside world to make it
paradise. We hope that the schemes pro-
posed and started. under such good
auguries may prove entirely successful.

Keats TO stand, or walk on the platforms out

floor with tobacco juice I'LL the room with to-
bacco smoke, and make the waiting for trains at
way stations terrible ordeal to go through. If
this class of loafers are to be allowed to hang
around the depOts, agents should certainly be
Instructed to keep them out OF the depot waiting
rooms, and possibly by go doing they could be
kept away the colder days. Then, this same
class of loaters where trains stop for passengers
to lunch or walt few moments at juno

walking through the coaches, staring people
IN the face, and as they pass along dropping
uBcouth remarks. Even the model Pennsyl-

THE NARROW GAUGE.

The T., C. & st. L. in Bad Condition for
Winter Service.
The Toledo. Cincinnati & st. Louis road is re-
ported to be in bad shape to enter the winter
months, and there are railroad men of large ex-
perience in railroad operations who express the
opinion that 1t would be better for the property,
especially should it be an open winter, that the
running of heavy trains over the greater por-
ton OF the system were abandoned. The rails
are only thirty pounds to the yard, it is not
properly cross-tled, and the track, on a greater
portion of the system, rests on a mud road bed,
and the running of thirty TO
thirty-fve-toE engines over 1t during the
winter months, it is thought will nearly ruin
the rails for further service The Boston Herald
says: "The friends of the road have concluded
there is but one of three things to do--to reOr-
game at once Uhe bondholders advancing from
S2,000,000 to $4,000 900, or sell the road in
separate divisions and buy it in, or let the re-
ceivers work out it's salvation, which they can
do by applying all surplus earnings to the I'M
provement of the property for the next two
years"

Why not tax the indecent literature that

cause a fraction of the evil that saloons do,
and see no good reason for a common-sense
way of getting rid of puny, sckly evil and
at the same time pursue a different course
