Gossip Gathered Every where in Rail-
road Circles.

Capt J. W. Craig, Master Of TranspOr-
tation Of the Charleston and Savannah
railway, was in the city yesterday.
The authorities OF the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia railroad have issued
an order prohibiting freight trains on the
Georgia division from carrying passeu-
gers under any and all circu instances.
The order will take effect on Aug. /.
The citizens of the new town of Cassia,
in Orange county, Fla, propose open
ing two miles Of the Wekiva and one or
two miles OF the creek known as Black
water creek, SO mat a small steamer car
rying 1000 or 1000 pounds, can run with n
three miles Of the town.
There are two prospective railroad lines
asking for the support Of the agricultural
region south of Apopka-tie Tavares,
Apopka and Gulf road and toe Lake Shore
road from Lane Park 70 Kissimmee. Fla
1t is very probable that one of these roads
Will be probably the latter.
The Ocala ola Item thinks the best
thing the railroads could do tor Florida
would be for them 10 arrange the sched-
ulee 80 as tOreach Callahan. Baldwin and
gainesville ia the night time. The low,
fiat land in the neighbOrhocd OF these
places at this season Of the year is not at
all inviting to new corners.
