Elkton and Guthrie Railroad

The Elkton Progress of the 10Th an
nOunces the completion of the above
named railroad. The Progress gives
this sketch of the enterprise:
"The road had its origin in the
active endeavors of few public spir-
tied men of Elkton who bad become
tired ofthe monotony of an inland
town surrounded by large scope OF
excellent country. II is built upon a
route that has long invited road to
answer the necessities of county scat
and its adjacent country, and under
a charter procured from the legisla-
ture in 1871, by some of the active
spirits Of this enterprise. With some
amendments TO that charter the first
real steps toward organization were
taken at Hon. ii. G. Petrie's office,
in May, 1884, at which time a sub
scrlption list of$3i,0O0 had been pro-
cured. Upon this evidence and pros
pect a board ofdirectors were elected,
consisting of d. 7. Perkins, jr., W..
L. Reeves, j. o. Mclteynolds, A. 4.
Rogers, s. ii. Perkins, G. Terry, and
ii. G. Petrie. b. II. Perkins, jr., was
elected president, and j. o. Street,
secretary and treasurer. The board Sc
cured the service of. w. Robinette, a
competent engineer, and had three
routes surveyed. The engineer estima-
ted the cost of the last route, and the
one on which the road is built at 49,
600, less than the lowest of the two
first routes. So the Board Of direct
ors decided on this route, 1l14 miles
long, and made advertisement for
lie tting the contract for grading and
tieing the road on the 10th of July.
G. w. Gosnold n Co., of Louisville,
obtained the contract for grading,
and j. M. Mclean, of Logan coun-
ty, and others, obtained the con-
tract for furnishing the ties. The
contractors broke ground about the
18th ofJuly, and finished the grading
about the 10th of December. The track
laying was done by the L. u N. Co.,
under the supervision of Maj. j. N.
Robinette, aud was completed on the
18th inst. $4,000 in first mortgaged
bonds were given the l.. Il N. Co.,
tor furnishing ard laying the iron,
and if the iron and laying the same
shall exceed that amount the L. "
N. Co., agree to take that excess
in stock in the road. OF course this
is equivalent to subscription
pro-tanto. This corporation has
leased the L. Il G. railroad for TWEEN.
ty years, and will operate it as an
independent line.
The depot grounds at Elkton are
well located and convenient. The
first depot in the direction of Guth-
fie is established at Reeves Il Brad,
I shaw's mill, two miles; the second a
Hermon, five miles; the third a
Anderson's, seven miles, and foul
, and one-half miles from Gurthrie
' thus affording convenience to thu
whole route for travel and shipping
Our town is placed within an hour
ride of Clarksville, and three hour'
of Nashville

A recent life of this intelligent woman
says:
Mary Woolstonecraft was political
writer ata time when women were supnosod
to have little interest in such matters and
little knowledge of them. She was led 70
this career for which Nature had fitted her
most admirably by the circumstances Of
her early life. Forced to provide for her
self and to contribute towards The support
of her sisters, she acquired the boldness TO
brave public sentiment even though that
sentiment might be the bitterest scorn.
The value of this life of her consists chiefly
in the full analysis given of her several
works. "The Defense of the Rights Of
Woman" was the earliest work in depart-
ment of literature already voluminous.
Did we not have the story of this life, it
would be difficult at this day to realize the
obloquy then incurred by woman writing
upon the rights Of her sex. The time will
come, if it has not yet arrived, when this
work will redeem from much of its unde-
erved suspicion the name of Mary VOL
stonecrait. When the social ostracism to
which this book condemned its author Is
reviewed, Eairer Judgment will decide that
she was more snned against than SHINING.
Her reply to Burke's Reflections on the
French Revolution" was an outspoken
defence Of the rights of humanity such as
few politicians of the time would have had
the boldness to publish, provided they
could have had the nobleness Of mind to
conceive 50 generous sentiments. Her
views Of government and Of society, though
radical and novel in her day, were, never
theless, more philosophical than the theo-
ries upon which governments were then

PARLIAMENps PROSPECTS.
Mr. COwen Predicts a Deadlock and
Dissolution.

DAhholuhAohs
LONDON, Dec. 16.-In an interview to-
day, Mr.. Cowen, member OF Parliament,
said that the Liberals would assume Office
before March. This was pity, in view
OF Lord Salisbury's foreign success.
County boards would not satisfy Ireland.
If the Orangemen did not fetter the Tories,
the latter would speedily devise salts
factory system of home rule. 1t was not
likely that the Orongemen
would allow the Wings to
prevent the Liberals from carrying
home rule measure in the next Parlia-
ment There would be a deadlock and
certain dissolution in eighteen months.
The Parliament would be uncertain and
unsatisfactory. Mr.. COwen himself was
in favor Of any scheme OF home rule al
lowing the Irish 10 manage their own
affairs, while uphodlng the integrity OF
the empire. The first act of an Irish Par
hament would be to establish protection,
which England would probably not allow.
Baron de Worms, speaking at the Con-
servative banquet here tonight, said the
government would dissolve IL Liberal
| and Parnellite coalition should be formed.
The Standard, commenting upon Mr..
Gladstone's plan for an Irish Parliament,
says "The scheme bristles with almost
insuperable difficulties, atiording no ma
terial for compromise. If such Par.
lament should be established 1t would
not endure six years. The proposition is
an obvious attempt TO catch the Irish vote
before tine meeting Of Parliament. Mr..
| Gladstone's surrender is absolute"
GLADsTONE's PROGRAMME.
LONDON, Dec. II, 2 .M.-The Stdnddro
says: "Mr. Gladstone, on taking office
| Will be prepared to create an Irish Parlia
| ment to manage legislative and admins
trative affairs, securities being taken fol
| representation of the minorites, al
| equitable partition of all the imperia
charges and unity OF the empire. Tn

the Imperial Parliament will be assured
II is probable that one OF the guarantee
will be the nomination of a portion OF tn
Irish members by the Crown"
MR.. HARRINGToN's VIEWS.
DUBLIN, Dec. 16.--In an interview to
day Timothy Harrington, Member Of Par
lament, said that 1900 national leagu
branches, averaging 300 members, ha'
given f12,00 to the executive during th
present year. He said that some q
the newest Nationalist members Of Par
lament would receive salaries frOn
the league. The extinction of th
Liberals he thought would immensel
benefit the Irish cause. lie cOnsidere
that their defeat was due TO the appeal
to religious biR0try made by Lord Hari
ingtOn IN his speeches at Belfast. Nj
Harrington also said that bOycotting wa
outside Of the leagues programme, an
that the practice was confined to fe'
branches. The executive, he said, wOul
not meddle with local affairs generally
but would stop boycOtting whenever sue
| power was misused.
