HUNTINGTON's SCHEMES.

New Roads East and West from Nash
vllle-A TranscontinentaI Line Form
ing.
A writer in the Richmond (Ya, State,
for whose local interest and pride due al
lowance will be made, gives information
of interest and value concerning the
latest Southern projects of Mr.. c. P. Hun
tington. The writer says:
Notwithstanding the fact that railroad
construction is almost at a standstiu
now, the Huntington syndicate seems to
have made arrangements to begin build
ing at once between Nashville, Tenn, and
Stanford, KY, the latter point being situ-
ated on the Chesapeake and Ohio's Ken
lucky Central Road. The bonds neces
sary to raise money for the work were
subscribed to last week, and the engineers
and construction force VIII soon be en-
ployed in this important enterprise. The
distance between Nashville and Stanford
is 165 miles. This road will give the capi-
tai of Tennessee a new short line to the
sea, and will greatly strengthen the Chesa-
peake and Ohio system.
And not only will the gap between
Nashville and the Kentucky Central be
BUILT at once, but, if we are correctly in
formed, the Huntington system will also
and Memphis-150 miles-thus giving
Memphis a new and direct route to New
port News. The distance between Men,
phis and the sea by the Chesapeake and
Ohio, and the Chesapeake, Ohio and
Southwestern, via Louisville and Padu-
cab, is 1,122 miles; whereas, by the pro-
jected routes just described (yia Stanford
and Nashville) the distance will be
only 9S7-a saving Of 135 miles. Hunting
toms road between Memphis and New
Orleans, 452 miles, is about completed,
and as this strikes the Southern Pacific.
HuntingtOn's new transcOntinental lineis
an accomplished fact. But in two or
three years the capitalists controlling this
vast system expect to shorten the dis
tance from various traffic centres by fill
in up gaps here and there.
The Chesapeake aud Ohio Railway, and
the Kentucky Central Railroad, which
form part of the transcontinental sys-
tenn, together comprise 9l7 miles. They
are under one management, whose head
quarters are in Richmond. And in a year
or two, when the Nashville branch is fin
ished, it is more than probable that the
Huntingdon lines east Of the Mississippi
will be managed by the Chesapeake and
Ohio officials in this city. This fact alone
will give Richmond a standing in the rail-
road world of which she may we'll be
proud. 1t is hoped that our business men
will have the enterprise and capital to
profit by the great advantages which this
system of roads secures them. There is
every reason why Richmond should in a
few years become one of the largest and
wealthiest commercial centres in the
United States.

Republican State Central Committee, :"
said a Pine street broker who returned
from New York Sunday night, to a ST..
Louis Republican reporter, sand l heard
an admission from New that is certainly
interesting. Mr.. Hendricks and Mr.. New
are Reighbors and personal friends, and
though State politics were discussed,
both gentlemen were yet very careful not
to touch upon the Presidential campaign.
Mrs. Hendricks presence may have been
the cause, but L attribute it rather to an
unwIllingness to appear anxious about
the result. New was especially reticent,
and gave no clew as to the kind of organi-
cation the Republicans were effecting in
Indiana.
cat last New asked: Governor, what
effect has the candidacy of Butler upon
the campaign 'Well,' said Hendricks,
Il don't know. / think that where the
Democrats can afford to lose it, Butler
will get large vote. In New York and
Indiana think he will get nothing,"
"New answered unguardedly, That's
my idea. Some of our party think But

inc it will hurt us Republicans more than
it will you Democrats, and for my part
don't believe Butler will poll any more

broker, ''GOv. Hendricks did not feel the
slightest fear that Cleveland would not

and Kelly would come into line and in

would have to expect everything from the
Democratic party, the Governor thought,
and was too sensible a man to go outside
of it after having labored all his life

PLEADING FOR HIS SLAYER.

Robinson Asks His Relatives Not to
Prosecute White for Shooting Him.
ATLANTA, GA, Aug. 24.-Eugene NJ.
Robinson, the young man who was shot
last night at II O'Clock by Fred White,
died to-day in room over Redd's stable
at noon. When death caused his pulse to
stop beating he was surrounded by his
father, mother, brother and sister. Last
night he made a statement that White
shot him down like dog without any
prOvocatiOn whatever. His dying state
ment, however, was much changed. To
those gathered about his bedside Robin
son said in substance that White was not
to blame, and that neither of them knew
what they were doing. He said that he did
not want White prosecuted. A post
mortem examination was held and it was
found that the ball passed through the
kidneys, ranged upward above the heart
and settled against a rib, causing a frac-
ture. Robinson was removed to his late
home this afternoon, from which place the
funeral will take place tomorrow. This
afternoon the Coroner summoned a jury,
and for several hours the body was in ses-
sion. An adjournment was had until to-
morrow without a conclusion being
reached. Mr.. Cartel has been engaged
to defend White. From what is already
known the chances are that White will
be acquitted

ALBANY, GA, Aug. .24.-Urgent kilograms
have been received by the military COM

county to start at once for Dawson, where
a negro riot is feared. The negroes of
that section ape arming and threaten to
release the negro rapist Clark, who is to be

either tae Governor or Adiutant General.

tonight. They are uniformed and
equipped and ready to leave at moments
notlce. There is great excitement here
ana hundreds are surrounding the tele-
graph office.
The Governor was not within easy reach
ana the orders for the military to 90 to
Dawson were not received here until s 80
O'Clock tonight. The special train moved
from the depot at $3.50 O'Clock, carrying
the Albany Guards and Jackson Light
ARTILLERY. The train was wrecked one
and half miles from Albany by obstrue-
ton on the track. The military are un-
der arms awaiting the down train from
Macon to carry them over.
EVERYTHING IN DOUBT.
Owing to the inability to raise the tele-
graph office at Dawson tonight, it is i'm
possible to learn what proportions the
trouble at that place has already assumed.

There was an exciting episode about

Ice Cream and Ice-water,

In these days Holsters and green apples,
clans and cucumbers are among us.
Their digestion is frequently assisted by
ice-cream; nearly always by large quanti-
ties of ice-water. Just as the unfortunate
stomach is trying to get warmed up to its
difficult task, its temperature is sud-
denly and greatly lowered by
a deluge of ice-water. This IS
repeated so frequently that finally the
injured viscus gives up in despair and
passes the unchanged material along to
the intestines to get rid of it as best it
may. 1t is fortunate for the patient if the
doctor, in his zeal to check the naturally
induced purging, does not suddenly lock
up the bowel and in it the offending
matter that is causing all the trouble.
There is a popular idea that a diarrhea
should not be stopped too suddenly. AS
there is nearly always a grain of truth to
be found underlying popular delusion, so
this idea doubtless rests upon the fact
that an intestinal discharge due to irritat-
ing masses of food, suddenly checked by
a heroic dose Of opium, may be followed
by the Inflammation of the bowels and
peritonitis. When such a source of irri-
tatiOn has been removed, diarrhea can
not be checked.

found herself to be quite unwell after
their return to Paris. She enjoyed her
American tour as much as the Pere did,
and that is saying a great deal, for he
was delighted. But the fatigue told upon
her. Then, too, the embarrassment of
the Pere's position in Paris with respect
to the government, tolerated as he is. but
not fully recognized, were not restful. to
say the least, after a considerable absence
among a people so full of kindly con-

The Pere proposes to repeat his visit to
the United States very soon, perhaps
within the next year. He was greatly
pleased with his experiences in America.
His visit to the Pacific coast was perhaps
the most enjoyable of all his trips. At
Los Angeles, in Southern California, he
found French colony which seemed very
home like. Its members begged him to
abandon his work in Paris and remain as
their pastor for the rest OF his
life. They offered him every
lnducement. One of them was an old
schoolmate, and all of them became en-
deared to him, but he told them that he

tarily. "When they turn me out of

shortly. 1t is said that he will bring with
him a fund for distribution among the
faithful workers in the Republican ranks
in West Virginia, who propose to make a
vigorous effort to carry the State for

James g. Blaine is expected to accom-
pany Mr.. Elkins to his cottage in the
mountains and remain for some time for
rest and recuperation. The presence of
Blaine at Deer Park will Undoubtedly
contribute to enliven the surroundings,
but it can hardly result in the capture of
the State of West Virginia from the Dem
Ocrats. Senator Mcdonald is the reciD-
lent of daily calls from prominent Demo-
Gratis from different parts of Maryland,
Virginia and West Virginia, who are anX-
ious to consult him on the conduct
of the campaign in their respective
States. AS far as can be judged from the
public expressions of the Senator and his
visitors, they have no doubts as to the re-
suits in the States named. The conf
dence Of the local Democratic leaders in
the success of their Presidential and State
tickets never Wavers.

LOOSE CUSTOMS METHODS.
The Department Ordering a Stop to an
Illegal Pracfica

The Department Ordering a Stop to an
Illegal Practice.
Some attention has evidently been paid
by the Treasury Department officers, saws
a Washington special, to the loose meth
DDS of doing business exposed by the
heavy seizure of imported glass made by
Special Agent Tingle, in New York, on
July 3, for Acting Secretary Coon has is-
sued a circular which proposes to put a
stop to such methods. The tariff law ex-
empts from duty articles imported for the
use of the United States, provided that
the price Of the same did not in
clude the duty. The Treasury D-part-
ment perceives no objection, the acting
Secretary says, under this law. to the
purchase in bond, for the use of the United
States, at a price which does not lnclnde
the duty of merchandise already import
ed, but which has not been delivered from
the custody of the customs officers, The
practice has obtained, however. in some
cases of government officers purchasing
goods on which the duty had been paid
and which had been delivered from the
custody of the government, with the agree
ment that free entry would be granted
for a like quantity of similar merchap-
disc to be imported and delivered to the
contractor 10 replace the goods previously
delivered to the government officer max
ing the purchase.
1t was under an agreement of this kind
that a permit was given to the firm of E.
A. Boyd & Co. to import $4,1OO worth of
French plate glass, to replace that amount
of glass furnished to the government by
the firm from its stock on hand. Under
this permit, the government charges
Boyd Co. Imported glass valued at
10000, which they proposed to have
admitted free of duty, and which was
seized by the special agent. Mr.. Coon
now states that the Treasury Department
regards the making of such agreements
as that referred to as not warrant
ed by law. Hereafter, therefore. free
entry will not be granted for articles i'm
ported TO replace others bought from duty
paid stock previously delivered into pri.
yate hands. Customs officers are also in
structed that the delivery into the hands
of private parties of goods imported tor
