MONTEAGLE.
July 28th, 1884.

July Zotn, 1904.
The parties from McMinnville now
visiting this delightful summer resort,
are Rev. G. T. Stainback, D. D., Mrs.
B. ]. Hill, Mr.. and Mrs. ]. G. Biles,
Mrs. j. G. Ramsey, Miss Halle Biles,
Mr., and Mrs. j. B. Ritchey, and
the Misses Mary and Maggie Reed of
the music department OF G. F. College.
The parties are all pleasantly quarter
ed at the Monteagle Hotel, except the
Misses Reed, who joined the cabineers
and are comfortably lodged in a cot
tage Oh the Assembly grounds, Visi-
tors occupying cottages are called
"Cabineers," those in tents, TEXTILES"
while those at the hotel and outside the
Assembly grounds, are called "Barbari.
ans" So we are "Barbarians."
Monteagle is located on the top of
Cumberland Mountain, about midway
between Sewanee, and Tracy on the
north side OF the railroad, which, at
this place is the dividing line between
the counties of Grundy and Marion,
Monteagle being in Grundy county
The hotel is a large, we'll constructed
two story frame, with 1913 large well
ventilated rooms, with spacious halls
and verandas running through and
around the buildings, so as to give the
guests the advantages of the pure
mountain air, which is always delight
full and healthy during the summer
months. The rooms, furnishings, and
other accommodations are not equal to
the Maxwell or the Nicholson, but are
clean, comfortable and pleasant. The
fare is good and generally well cooked.
The servants, (mostly from Nashville),
are polite and attentive. The grounds
and walks are beautiful and we'll kent.
The hotel belongs to the assembly, and
is under the management of Mr.. Ste>
vens, proprietor of the Nicholson.
Mr.. Stevens is said to be first class
hotel keeper, and no doubt will con-
tribute much to the success of the
Monteagle Assembly.
There are probably between four and
FIVE hundred visitors at the hotel and
on the assembly grounds. Many Others
would probably have been here but fol
the continued rains. 1t commenced
raining Friday evening and has rained
more or less every day since. This
has interfered somewhat with the pro

Electric Railroads.

CLEVELAND, o., July 27.-The
first commercially successful electric
railroad in America was started in
operation in this city yesterday by the
East Cleveland Street Railroad Cons
pany, who have just completed a mile
of road, and ran cars on it yesterday

was SO successful that the company ex-

comprising over twenty miles, into
electric roads. The system used was
a combination of the Brush and the
Knight and Bentley systems, and the
current was carried on underground
conductors laid in conduits, like those
of the cable roads. The cars were
started and stopped and reversed with
the greatest ease, and without the dis
agreeable jerking incident to cable and
horse roads.
The economy of running is claimed
10 be greater than that of cable roads,
and the cost of construction less than
one>third as great. Any number of
cars, up to fifteen, can be run at one
time on single circuit, from one ma
chine, which is result not attained
by any of the European systems now
in operation. The success of the new
road has made great sensation in
both street railroad and electrical Cir
Giles, and it is expected to greatly rex-
tend the field of electric development,
as we'll as enhance the stock of rail.

THE RESULT.

The convention at Cleveland last
week nominated Col. John R. Neal
for Congress to succeed Gen. Dibrell,
from the Sd District. Col. Neal is
doubtless as competent man as could
have been found in the District, and
will poll the full democratic strength
of the District, which will insure his
election. His nomination is highly
endorsed by the press of his own and
adjoining Districts.
Col. G. Marchbanks was nominated
elector for this District by acclimation.
This was a good selection. He is well
posted, good speaker, and on the
stump will not be found wanting.
Mr.. NJ. D. Smallman, of this place,
was made permanent chairman of the
the convention.
