LOOKOUT moUNrAIN RAILROAD.
The Work to be Carried Forward With
out Interruption.

The Work to be Carried Forward With
out Interruption.
On Monday a force OF hands begun the
work of grading the roadway for the in
cline railway up Lookout mountain.
Prior to this time all the work had been
only preliminary. The ground had been
staked, the rOad-bed been cleared out, the
details of the drawings finished, and all
the essential arrangements concluded,
still, says the Chattanooga Times,
there were those who expressed doubts
that the railway would be built.
The force began the work yesterday
Of grading the rOadbed preparatory to
laying the ties. Work was commenced
at the western brow, known as "Sunset
Rock" the terminus of the line, and the
force will work downward from thence to
the base Of the bluff under the point, and
thence proceed direct to the beginning OF
the line. The first assurance that the
work would go ahead at once was given
last week when the company closed ne
gotiations for the purchase of a 3-acre
tract at the foot of the point. Negotia-
lions have been pending several months
for its purchase, and the company had an
option all that period but last week the
transaction was closed and the deed made
out. 1t is intended to locate the engine
on this tract. The engine will have
forward and reflex prOpelling power, and
will draw the cars from the foot of the
mountain to the point, and they will then
be propelled to the western brow by the
reflex motion. The line will be a cable
line. the cars of which will be propelled
by heavy cable, and protected from the
possibility of accidents by grips, cogs and
every otner preoaution so as 10 make the
line absolutely safe. The plans
are the outGrOwth of years of
steady labor by Maj. King, United States
engineer, and are pronounced by eX-
perts to be the most scientific practical
solution of the problem of ascending the
mountain. The line will begin at the foot
of the mountain, near the old turnpike,
and will extend in a direct line TO the foot
of the point. 1t will then curve to the
west, and continue under the bluff to the
western brow, where it will terminate for
the present. What the company has
further in view has not vet developed. but
they are abundantly able to carry out any
projects they may undertake.

HE BORROWED THE FUND ).
The Chairman Of a COlOred Churcl
Cnn1mittaa in Cnnrt.

The Chairman Of a COlored Church
Committee in Court.
John c. Simmons, one of the leading
colored politicians of the First Cong. es-
sional district, was the defendant in a
case before Magistrate Wariug Russell
yesterday. Eliza Francis preferred the
charge, alleging that simmons had, by de-
ceptive means and artfgl practices, de-
trauded her of SO 03, the property of the
First Bryan Sunday-schO0l The woman
is the treasurer OF a committee of which
the defendant Is chairman. Originally
the fund amounted to about $50. Someone
stole $40. Then, as the Treasurer alleges,
the Chairman borrowed S35 on his per-
sonal account. The balance was placed
with a third party for safe keeping.
About Aug. 6, the Treasurer stated, Sim
mons came to her and wanted to borrow
the SO 03. She refused to consent, she
says, whereupOn the President went to
the temporary custodian, and stated that
he had the permission of the Treasurer to
draw the balance of the fund. 1t was
banded over to him, but has not been re-
turned. The accused denied the charge,
and gave bail for his appearance at the
City Court. Simmons was the recent de-
feated candidate for State Senator.

1T Is QUITE SCOTCH.
Yankee Editor Tells His Experience
With an Oatmeal Cake.


With an Oatmeal Cake.
The editor of the Rockland Courier Ga
zette writes to his paper from Scotland:
The oatmeal cake is essentially Scotch
in all its details. This is how il is made:
You take certain quantity of lignum-
VITAE sawdust that has been Kindred
long enough to dispel all traces Of damp
ness, and this YOU mix with water that
has been boiled half day TO extract the
taste; then simmer gently over a warm
mot hot) fire and press between two
heavy rocks In order to exclude any mois-
ture that may remain; then dry in the
sun 40 days, and there you are.
''Do you like itp' l asked the Judge,
blowing a little cloud OF the desiccated
fragments about the table as l opened my
lips to make the remark.
II can't say that l positively hate it"
the Judge replied, as ne took hold of the
side of his chair and swallowed hard, to
dislOdge fragment that had lodged in his
throat, ''neither does my palate seem
likely to become eRamored of f.. Did you
ever taste the sands of SaharaY' he added.
rinsing out his throat with a swallow of
tea.
No, but had the day before eaten an
English railway sand wich, returned.
81 think they must belong to the same
family" the Judge concluded, except
that the oatmeal cake is the most vicious
Of the three"
The oatmeal cake is not so juicy as an
old hoOpskirt, nor yet is II so tasteless as
the sun-dried tOmatO-can. Perhaps, TO do
1t justice, might say that while Just es-
Gaping the dryness OF iron filings, and
barely spprOXimating the richness OF
powdered bone, it's taste to the uncul-
tured American palate approaches as
closely as may be to the August circus
poster.
Now, a goat can eat these things.
But we are not goats.

The temperature yesterday was de-
cidedly lower than it has been for some
time. The maximum for the day was rs
degrees. The minimum was SO and the
mean 1916 degrees. The comparatively
cooler weather was doubtless attributable

Snnerb Peaohea.

The MORNING NEWS yesterday re-
ceived through Mr.. c. Menelas box of
superb peaches Of the mammoth RinggOld
variety, from Mr.. J. II. Parnell, the we'll
known fruit grower and nurseyman at
West Point, Ga. The peaches are very
large and OF rich yellow color. Mr..
Parnell, who is a brother OF the celebrated
Irish leader, has perhaps the finest peach
orchard in the south. 1t is said to con-
tain many thousand trees. The greatest
care was exercised in selecting the trees,
so that the orchard shOu contain only
the finest varieties. While Mr.. Parnells
brother is winning worldwide fame as
the champion OF the cause of Ireland, he
is making reputation as Georgia's great
fruit grower. The peaches received by
the MORNING NEWS were exhibited at
the Cotton Exchange and were greatly
admired.

The British Consul'a Records.

In the NEWS report of the supposed
loss OF the steam dredge Beaufort it was
stated that the records Of the British Con-
sulate were incomplete. There are, Ia
fact, no records in that Consulate
whatever la reference to the dredge. Her
Captain neglected both 90 enter or clear
ut the Consulate as is required from every
British vessel, and did not engage the
crew before the Consul. II is supposed
that the Master Of the Beaufort
classed the dredge as machine and not
rs vessel. Upon inquiry at the Con-
sulate yesterday 10 was ascertained that
the drpdge was not upon the official
list OF British vessels. The statement that
the records were incomplete, OF course.

tOrf. The reporter obtained his informa-
tion In the first instance from Mr.. Key
nolds as shipping master, under the im-
preston that he was sti pro-Consul.
when In fact he has not acted In such
capacity since April Hence the erro-
neOus impression that the records OF the
Consulate were Incomplete.

Bishop Becker, Of Wilmington, to be
AppoInted to savannah.

Bishop Becker, Of wilmington to be
Appointed to savannah.
A Baltimore special says that following
fast on the news from Rome that Arch
bishop Gibbons would be made d Cardi-
nal in the coming autumn comes the an
nouncement that the Right Rev. Thomas
A. Becker, Bishop Of Wilmington Del,
will be transferred 20 the see Of Savann ali,
made vacant by the elevation OF Bishop
Gross to the archhishOpric of Oregon; and
that Rev. John Foley, D. D., pastor Of
Sc. MARTINS church, Baltimore, and
brother Of the late Bishop Foley, OF Chi
cago, VIII be the successor of Bishop
Becker at Wilmington.
Father Foley WAS recommended by the
Archbishop for the see OF Savannah, but
he declined it. He did not care TO leave
his pastorate. There is talk of the APP
pointment Of a cOadiutor TO Archbishop
Gibbons, and it is more than likely that
Bishop Foley would be chosen for that
capacity.
Bishop Becker is widely known. He
was appointed to Wilmington in 1868.
Before that he was assistant priest at the
Cathedral here. He was cOnsecrated a
bishop by Archbishop Spaulding. For
some time he was professor Of theology
at Mount st. Mary's College, Emmetts-
burg. Rev. DR.. Foley has been priest Of St.
Martins church for ten years. He, also,
in his early priesthood was connected
with the Cathedral At the last Plenary
Council he was one of the public secre-
tsries.
Inquiry in Catholic circles by a News
reporter, yesterday, failed to discover
any Information here in regard to the ap-
pointment. Vicar General Cafferty said
I'D o,.I Of ffnv.
he was shown the dispatch by the NEWS
man.
