THE RIVAL COAST LINE.

The Pennsylvania Railroads
Scheme to Build South.
The statement from Philadelphia pub.
lished in the NEWS that the New York,
Philadelphia and Norfolk railroad Is TO be
extended South from Norfolk to Jackson
Vile, Fla, as competing line with the
Atlantic Coast Line system, has caused
something Of stir in railroad circles.
Nothing is known here of the move.
N lone Of the officials of the Plant system,
which is a part of the Atlantic Coast
Line, who are in the city. claim to have
any knowledge of a Misunderstanding be-
tween the Coast Line and the PenDsyI-
vania Railroad Company. General Man
ager Haines and Col. owens, traffic man.
ager of the Savannah, Florida aud West
ern railway, have gone to Havana with
Mr. Plant. Mr.. Hardee. general freight
and passenger agent. said that he had
never heard OF any difficulty with the
Pennsylvania people.
In Philadelphia and Baltimore the
statement is said TO be anything but
surprise to railroad and financial people
who have watched the course of events.
Notwithstanding the close friendships be-
tween the leading capitalists connected
with the Coast Line and the Pennsyl-
vania, it is understood the Coast Line has
from the outset looked with Jealous eyes
upon the New York, Philadelphia and
Norfolk railroad, which is under Pennsyl-
vania management. This is the Delaware
peninsula line that crosses the Cbesa-
peake, between Cape Charles and Nor
folk, by transfer steamer. 1t is said
the effort to make this route a
highway between the Eastern cities
and the South has not brought the re-
suits expected up to this time, and the
lines by way of Baltimore and Washing
ton are in strong position. The report
comes that the Pennsylvania Is ready to
go INTO scheme to extend the new line
south from Norfolk TO Jacksonville. II
that PROJECT is carried out the Atlantic
Coast Line would seeH some other friendly
alliance for getting to New York. In
this connection there are unautnenti-
Gated rumors to the effect that the Balti-
more and Ohio and some at least of the
Coast Line people are not very wide
apart in their business svmpathies.
Several railroad men in Charleston have
been interviewed, aud they disclaim any
knowledge of a falling out between the
Pennsylvania and Coast Line people. 1t
is reported that the GEORGETOWN and
Lanes railroad, running from George
town, 5. c., to Lanes, S. o., has been sold.
1t is not known to whom the sale has been
made. but it is reported that the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company are the purchas-
ere. IL this report be true it would seem
that there may he some truth in the pro-
jected line from Norfolk to Jacksonville,
as the Georgetown and Lanes road would
be an important feeder to the road along
the shore,

Congregational Church, and DR.. Bacon is
a Congreg nationalist, that the pastor be
called for one year and that he be recall

LOSING 20 POUNDS A MINUTE.
Startling Difference ia Weight Going
Up and Down an Elevator.

Startling Difference ia Weight Going
Up and Down an Elevator.
The recent experiments of New York
man touching the effects upon different
persons of the upward and downward
motion Of elevators present some curious
results. A man of 161 pounds weight
standing upon the platform OF a scale
placed in an elevator finds the balance in
dicating ia pounds ON the upward Jour-
neY, and 14S during the descent, thus
showing difference In his weight for the
time being or twenty-siX pounds, or about
IL per cent.
In this ia the secret OF why 90 many per-
sons have q sensation of seasickness in
elevators, especially after a recent meal.
Standing well forward CT we'll ait on the
deck of A ship in heavy seaway gives
the same lifting and falling sensation as
as that experienced in the elevator; but
the roll OF the ship is absent. so that it
would seem as il seasickness resulted
more from the upward and downward
motion than the swaying of the deck away
from horizontal position.
1t will be remembered that the expert
ment OF building passenger vessels with
pendulum cabins, whose decks remained
horizontal throughout the voyage, failed
to avert seasickness. All the motion was
overcome excepting in the direction OF
the perpendicular. That disease OF the
sea must therefore be due to the alter
mating conditions OF the pressure OF
the food in the stomach; and as
the patient RECEIVERS when the stomach
has time to adjust itself to the motion
and becomes proof against further attack,
it is obvious that voyaging in a rapidly
moving elevator, In anticipation of a sea
voyage, wonld make 'old salts" OF the
most delicate ladies before embarking.

A Foolish and stubborn Belief

In the efficacy of certain remedies of violent
action, is the besetting foible of the ignorant
and prejudiced. The ndiscrmlnate use Of
purgatves is very common phase of the
faulty OF such people. Aloes, podyphillin,
disguised in sugar coating, castor oil, mercury,
and other old fashioned drugs, still hold their
own among this class, and although the sue
success of Hostetter's Stomach B1tters sufli-
ciently disproves the necessity for violence in
medication. the sdhereuts of an exploded fall
lacy still persist in giving and taking inordi-
nate purgative doses. Dyspepsia, constipa-
ton, liver complaint are as certainly and
thoroughly subdued by the Bitters. as they are
invariably aggravated by an indiscriminate
use OF medicines, oflicnal or proprietary, be-
long ing to the class which we have con-
demned. Fever and ague, nervousness,
rheumatism and inactivity OF the kidneys,
