FAST MAIL FOR MINNESOTA,

The scheme of establishing fast mail
between New York and Chicago, of which
we spoke in our last issue, has been enlarged
to take in the route between St. Paul and
Minneapolis, and Chicago. The first train
consisting of 2 mail cars, Pullman sleep
ers and a private car, arrived in St. Paul
at 1929 p. m. Thursday afternoon, s min
utes ahead of time, having made the trip
in ~ hours, thus shortening the time 8
hours.
An immense crowd assembled at the
Union depot and gave the incoming train
an ovation. On board the train was
Postmaster General Gresham and many
other distinguished men in the mail and
express service. The train came over the
River division of the c., M. & St. P. r.
R., thus giving eastern Minnesota the adj
vantage of the fast mail. The fast train
then pushed through to Minneapolis, and
the mail was in the post-office minutes
after it's arrival, and in the hands of the
carriers in 30 minutes, or 10 hours from
the time the mail left Chicago.
The mail arrived in st. Paul, AZ hours
from New York, stopping in Chicago 3
hours for transfer of mails, making gain
of 20 hours over the old time.
The fast mail is carried only one way,
from the east to the west, as the regular
trains make about as good time as fast
train could with necessary delays, besides
shorter time would bring it into New
York in the night when it would be Of
little benefit to business men.

The Old Mohawk and Hudson Railroad.

Some interesting particulars of this
road are contributed to the New York
Times by W. W. Crannell, of Albany.
N. Y.
The first railroad CONSTRUCTED in this
part Of the country was the Mohawk and
Hudson Railroad, extending from Albany
to Schenectady. The work on the road
was commenced in 1880 and completed in
1888. 1t was constructed with an inclin-
ed plane at each end OF the road the one
at Albany little more than half mile
in length and both of them having a rise
I footin 10. The road was laid out about
IL miles in length, 6 of which were at q
level, and the rest of it, with the excep-
ton of the two inclined planes, had an
ascending grade of about foot in $50.
The width of the excavations was SO feet,
that of the entertainments 26 feet. The
deepest excavation was AZ feet, the high
est embankment Al feet, and the greatest
altitude above tide water at this city, 1853
feet. D., .ss >s$-4 n, SIS.
Stone blocks laid on broken stone were
placed feet apart, from CENTER and cross
sleepers of wood, 7inches in diameter and
: feet long, rested upon them, supporting
the timber rails, on which were placed
iron bars, 3-5 by q inches, with the up
per corners rounded to II inches in width
The width between the rails was feet
8 inches. The capital stock was fixed at
$500, 600. When the road was completed
it was found to have cost 81, O0O, 600.
In July, 1881, the locomotive De Witt
Clinton arrived, at which time the road
was completed for 123 miles. Although
the locomotive was found to be defective,
it made the run over the completed road
in one hour and forty-five minutes. An

ANOTHER GREAT BATTLE IN THE
SOUDAN.

Once more the trained troops of Eng
land have met in deadly conflict the fierce
and indomitable Arabs, and inflicted up
on them a bloody and decisive defeat.
At daybreak, March 10, the British
troops, under command of Gen. Graham,
were attacked by the forces of Osman
Digna, and desperate struggle ensued.
The enemy fought with desperation, rush
ing upon the English soldiers, spearing
them and cutting them down with their
keen sciemeters. For time the army
of Gen. Graham was in great peril, the
onset of the enemy forcing in one side
of the square, but destructive fire was
brought to bear upon their flank, and the
attack repealed. In the horrible melee
the Gattling guns and Gardner guns fell
into the hands of the enemy, and were
recovered only after most determined
charge upon the enemy's camp. The
loss of the rebels is estimated at 2,4O0
The British lost 70 killed and 100
wounded

stages, and capable of carrying about fif-

stages, and capable of carrying about fif-
teen passengers each.
The time when the directors of the road
felt prepared to crown the success of
their labOrs by a grand excursion was on
September "a, 1881. The Governor of
the State, the mayor of the city, the edi-
tor OF the Journal, the editor Of the A.
gas, Billy Whine, the old penny post, and
other distinguished and representative
citizens were invited to celebrate the
great event. There were five cars crowd
ed with guests, and there was a crowd OF
spectators to see them off.
The greatest man on the train, in his
own opinion, was the English engineer
but, alas the English engine baked
there was some trouble with the feed pipe.
The editor of the Journal suggested to
the editor of the Argus that they borrow
horse whose feed pipe was in order. A
man in the crowd shouted, "Give EN- q
peck OF oats, boss" another cried, t"Twist
her tail = and still another suggested that
they turn the wheels to start her off. y
After waiting until noon, the De Witt
Clinton was substituted, and started of
with train of three cars. the remainder
Of the party following in the two other
cars drawn by horses. After partaking
of a late dinner in Schenectady, the LEGO
motive returned with the entire train OF
five cars in thirty-five minutes. The
American was now called the Brother
Jonathan and the English engine the
John Bull, and great was the talk of the
superiority of British mechanism.
l was more than little interested in
reading the above article, from the fl act
that some two or three weeks before this
grand celebration, passed over the same
road from Albany to Schenectady, where
/ took the canal for Buffalo. Our trip
was first by hack, at Albany to the high
land then by horsepower on the rail
road then by hack down to Schenectady.

"A MINING DISASTER.

Another terrible occurrence has been
added to the long list of calamities which
now seems to characterize our civiliza ton
in the great explosion which occurred
March IS, at one o'clock a. m, in the coal
mines of the Southwest Virginia Improve
ment Company, near Lynchburg, Va,
wherein about $50 miners lost their lives,
So terrible was the shock, that houses,
200 or 300 feet from the mouth of the
mine, were overturned, and the ground
covered with the debris of twisted rails
and broken timbers. Of the night relief,
comprising about $50 men, no one sur
wives to tell the tale. The explosion is
supposed to have occurred from carrying
lamps too far into the mine, which is
peculiarly subject to the formation of
gases. The miners were mostly Hun
garians, without families.

WHITTIER'S BARBARA FRITCHIE.

OMAHA, NeD., March {, 1854.
Editor Of zrunscript:-The spirit of
skepticism which seems to pervade our
age and our modes of thought has in
late years amused itself in questioning
even the occurrence Of historical events.
Nor has it confined itself to events grown
gray with antiquity, but has attacked
many we'll known incidents of our late
Rebellion. Among these is the achieve
ment Of Barbara Fritchie, which Whittier
has made so familiar by his exquisite
poem. A short time ago I read well
written article in one of the popular
periodicals, which shook my belief in
good old Barbara's patriotism, and led
me to doubt that such person ever lived.
But my doubt has been removed in way
/ wish to tell you about.
A recent change of boarding places
took me into family of four elderly peo-
pie who saw and felt the burdens of in
vasion. One of the ladies was nurse,
first in one army and then the other, and
was in the battle of Gettysburg. The
others lived in Frederick City during the
war and long prior thereto. Al, of them
knew Barbara Fritchie personally They
often visited her, and more than once had
seen her home and the flag that doated
over it and the Rebel army on that day.
They saw the flag that day, saw the
Rebels march under it, heard Stonewall's
famous ORDER and know of their own
knowledge that Whittier's poem narrates
a fact saw pictures Of the old fashion
ed house in which Barbara lived, of the
flag with it's rents, which she dared to
float in the faces of host of traitors to
it, and of the tall, angular, grayhaired old
woman whose patriotism brings the blush
of shame to the faces of many strong men
even to this day, as it did to the Rebel
generals the day mentioned. I am now
firm believer in good old Barbara and
her flag, and shall hereafter give no cred
ence to articles of denial written by those
who were never in Frederick City, and
very possibly never in the South at all.
Whittier calls the place Fredericktown,
probably to save his rhyme; but the rea1
name is Frederick City, as I have writer
it. Yours respectfully,
VIM. W. KEYsoR.
