A New Railroad.

Jay Gould, it is said, contemplates the
construction of new trunk line of railroad
through the States of Louisiana, Alabama,
Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky, reach
ing Cincinnati, which, when constructed,
will be the Northern terminus. The north
ern extension will begin on the line of the
Mobile and Ohio road, at either Columbus,
Miss, or Aberdeen, in the same State, aud
will take anorthessierly course, crossing the
Louisville and Nashville system at Decatur,
Ala. From there it will still run in north
easterly direction, parallel with and about
midway between the Cincinnati Southern
and Louisville and Nashville systems. 1t
will cress the Nashville, Chattanooga and ST..
Louis road at point about Wartrace, in
this State, or perhaps between that and
Murfreesbero. From there the course will
Re almost due north toward Shelbyville,
Ky, passing through Frankfort, the CAPT
tai, and thence on to Cincinnati. Mr..
Gould will, as soon as the road has by the
court been removed from the hands of 3 re-
ceiyer, assume entire control of the Mobile

made part of the Wabash, st. Louis and

COTTON EXPOSITION EXPLANA.
TUOK.


That New Orleans has failed to rise to
the hight Of the occasion and secure the To-
cation Of the great Cotton Exposition Of 1884
has oecasioned more regret than surprise,
and has also caused some anxiety as to how
the prospects of the exposition would be
affected by that failure. The New Orleans
Times has communication from its Vicks.
burg correspondent, who visited Mr.. More
head, president of the Cotton Planters Asso-
citation, and obtained his views upon the
subject. President Morehead stated that the
exposition is 10 be instrumental in showing
the products of the entire Union, but will be
mainly devoted to the development Of cotton
resources. Invitations had been sent out to
a number of cities inviting competition for
the location OF the exposition, and Mr.. More
head regretted that the tone of the invita-
ton was susceptible of demonstration,
making it appear that the 100000,
which the committee named as the
basis Of operations, was to be donated
as bonus to the Planters' Association,
and that the entire exposition was TO be
controlled by that body. Naturally, Mr..
Morehead went on TO say, no city would
comply with any such condition, and he was
not surprised that no formal bid had been
made for the location, in view of such mis-
conception. The association does not ask or
require dollar for its own use; it has ample
means of It's own for all ordinary purposes.
Owing TO existing misconceptions. it had
been deemed advisable by the executive
committee to extend the time of receiving
bids for the location until March lat. In
the meantime the cities interested, such sa
Baltimore, Richmond, Cincinnati, st. Louis
and New Orleans, will be fully acquainted
with the true plans, and no doubt there will
be fund to be more han one city that will
offer to subscribe to the capital stock. As in
other stock companies, the takers Of the largest
amount of stock will control the funds and
management of the enterprise. From this
explanation of President Morehead we infer
that the exposition will be held in the city
that makes the highest bid in subscribing
for the stock of the exposition. Instead Of
a sale at fixed price, the location will be
allotted to the highest bidder.

At the same time the civil war broke

ON wIMlpFFEN's SUICIDE

PARIS, January 1.-Count Won Wimpfen,
Austro-Hungarian ambassador, who COM
mitted suicide Saturday, partook of an early
breakfast, and when leaving the house said
he would return for luncheon. Count Zichy,
secretary, and Col. Bonn, military attdche,
broke the news of the terrible deed TO the
Countess Won Wimpfen. Lately the most
trifiing annoy auces occasioned the ambas-
sador the utmost distress. Thursday last he
tore up diplomatic dispatch because q
comma was omitted. The body lies in the
grand saloon of the building occupied by
the embassy. All traces of the wound are
concealed. The expression of the face il
calm and peaceful. The condemnation o.

with whom the count had pecHnisry reia.
tions, was one of his principal troubles.

been in the habit of talking aloud to him
self for hours. He had carried revolver
about with him for week. On Friday ht

to test it. The superstition that his suicide
was connected with financial embarr assmen
gains color from the fact that one of the let
tiers he left is addressed to rich Austrian
6nancier living in Paris.

CHERRY PICTORIAL,
In the Whole History of
Medicine

No preparation has ever performed such
marvellous cures, or maintained so
wide reputation, as AYERS CHERRY
PICTORIAL, which is recognized as the
worlds remedy for all diseases of the
throat and lungs. Its long-continued
series of wonderful cures in all eli
mates has made it universally known
as a safe and reliable agent to employ.
Against ordinary colds, which are the
forerunners of more serious disorders,
it acts speedily and surely, always re-
lieving suffering, and often saving life.
The protection it affords, by its timely
use in throat and chest disorders,
makes it an invaluable remedy to be
kept always on hand in every home.
No person can afford to be without it,
and those who have once used it never
will. From their knowledge of its
composition and operation, physicians
use the CHERRY PICTORIAL extensively
in their practice, and clergymen recon-
mend it. 1t is absolutely certain in
its healing effects, and will always
cure where cures are possible.
