A Story of Dan OIeary.

Jimmy Calvin tells this story about Dan
O'Leary "Dan had been released somewhere
an IN huntin' an engagement he was writin'
To all the managers in the country that he
was just murderin' pitchers that season.
Wei, he got job an ior several games he
couldn't hit nuthin'. So all the boys was
glrln' him the grand laugh about his bluffs
Well, at tho end OF game his side had the
bases full an two men out an needed a hit
bad to win. Dan says, boys, here's nv
ume,' as he went 10 the bat They kept
kludih ana laughin' at him, but sure enough,
bang she went for a dandy hit. Two men
cane sailin in home while Dan stopped to
shake his fist at the gang on the bench an
holler out, look at that, ye sons of guns; We
thought couldn't hit it, did YEP" Then
Dan seemed To remember that he had an en-
gagement at first, but his little speech had
iaken up so much time that the ball got there
before him an the two other fellers, rms
didn't count an the game was lost"

Iron Mountain Organization.

At a meeting held in this city yes.
terday the following gentlemen were
elected directors of the Iron Mountain
railroad of Memphis: r. J. Morgan,
Napoleon Hill, S. H. Dunscomb, W.
II, Moore, l.. B. Mcfarland, ]. b.
Robinson. The directors organizsd
by the election of Judge Morgan for
president and l.. B. Mcfarland for
secretary.
The Iron Mountain Railroad OF
Memphis will from this on be the
name OF what has heretofore been
known as the Bald Knob Extension.
Fiom Bald Knob line will be built
to Carthage, Mo, connecting Memphis
with Gould's Kansas and Missouri,
and throwing open to the enterprise of
our merchants 1000 miles OF railroad
from which they have been hitherto
shut out. 1t is estimated that the
completion of the Iron Mountain
from Bald Knob here will bring into
Memphis next year at least 100000
bales Of cotton that now goes TO st.
Louis.
By the new road Little Rock will be
fifteen miles further than by the
present route, but the officers promise
to make up for that by better track
and shorter time. Altogether it is
safe to cay that the enterprise that
was christened yesterday will be OF
incalculable value to Memphis.

ADJUSTMENTS.
ZOEO.


An extravagant extravaganza by
this title was produced at the Mem
phis Theatre last night by company
OF sprightly young women with
abbreviated skirts aud men with odd
and varigated costumes. There is no
plot, but ttring of aged chestnuts,
abortive puns, cheap patriotism and
mixed musical selections. The
"Megic Queen" Miss Blanche Cur
tisse, is tall and shapely
blonde, and while she has little dra.
matte power, it may also be said that
she wears little clothes. Miss G lar
trude Corysfort has very sweet and
we'll trained voice, the only one in fact
in the company, and was
cordially encored. The scenic eff
fects are all good, especially those
affordCd by the costumes of the young
women. The closing tableau, how
ever, is worth waiting for and we'll
repays one for the strain of the
play (?) itself. 1t is perhaps the
most srikingly beautiful novelty ever
seen on the Memphis stage, intoxicat-
ing in its loneliness and an excellent
apology for the sbomination that leads
up to il.

Memphis and birmingham.

Mr.. Sam Tate, who was in the city
yesterday, reports the heavy work on
this side OF Birmingham, on the Mem
phis and Birmingham railroad, as pro-
crossing very favorably. 1t is the
heaviest ever done in the South, but
rapid progress is being made, the force
now employed numbering nearly
5000. Mr.. Tate has been obliged to
give great deal OF his time to it per-
sonally, and is, therefore, intimately
acquainted with all it's details. A dis.
cussion of the new line to the Ala
bama coal fields naturally led to lit
tie talk about Memphis and Birming-
ham, and ABOUT the recent deal in
Pratt mining stock, in which Mr.. Tate
was largely interested.
"Capital is pouring into Birming-
ham by the mlllions," said Mr.. Tate,
"and the time is not faf off when its
present population of some $4,000 will
be quadrupled. 1t is bound to be
city of not less than 100, 1000 people in
the near future. Property is not
worth what it is in New York, but
one piece l remember sold the other
day for $1,000 front foot. That is the
largest price ever realized, believe,
and the case too was excep .ional, the
ground being so situated as to be
peculiarly valuable. Here one block
has not the same excessive value over
another es adjoining blocks must have
in Birmingham by virtue of the lay of
the land. But, after all, Memphis is
the place to keep an eye upon.
Guuld's visit here will do a great deal
OF good. l am told he had an
idea that Memphis aud Cairo
were both situated pretty much
alike, and that he expressed himself
as agreeably disappointl d, and was,
in fact, even complimentary in all he
had to say about the place. President
Clark, of the Illinois Central, becomes
enthusiastic when he talks of Mem.
phis. Nettleton and Huntington have
backed up their ju dgment, and let me
tell you, now, when you find such a
quartette as Gould, Nettletou,
Clarke and Huntington figuring about
Memphis it is about time for the old
inhabitants to be waking up"
Eyes; that was a good big deal"
Mr.. Tate continued, in answer TO
question about the Pratt mines. "The
stock, you know, was put at $780,
600, and as soon as it was consolidated
with the Tennessee Coal and Iron
Company the stock was increased to
$4,000 900, the starting price being 46
cents. 1t has gone up to 70 and will
60 to par before it stops"

RAPID RAIL TINE.
NEW ORLEANS TO MEMPHIS IN

Skins Over His Roads in
the South.

A special train which came in over
the Louisville, New Orleans and Tex as
railroad yesterday made, perhaps, the
fastest long run ever accomplished on
any Southern railroad, testing and
proving the excellent condition OF the
the track of that company be-
tween Memphis aud New Or
leans. The train consisted of one
Pullman coach, the car of the direct
ors Of the CsntSal Pacific railroad, and
the Isaquena, Msj. Edwards's private
car. There were on board President
O, P. Huntington and family, General
Manager j. NJ. Edwards, and others.
The train left New Orleans at $50
o'clock yesterday morning, arriving at
Vicksburg, distance of 235 miles, at
1880 O'Clock. Deducting So m inutes
for stops, the actual running time
from New Oleans to Viclsb was
8 hours and minutes. The journey
was resumed after stop of IS minutes
spent in inspecting the new shops at
Wick burg, and the party crossed
Jackson street in South Memphis ex-
actly at 6 o'clock, making the 300
miles from Vicksburg in 5 hours and
81 minutes. Deducting 81 minute s
for stops and delays, the actual run
ming time was hours aud minutes.
The total running time for the entire
distance OF 455 miles was 10 hours and
10 minutes, or tIihe less than As
miles an hour. The total time con-
sumed on the trip was u houIs aud
80 minutes, and, for the first time in
their existence, New Dreams papers
we're delivered in Memphis on the
same day OF their publication.

Gould az 81. Louis,

On the arrival of Mr.. Jay Gould at
st. Louis Saturday he was interviewed
by a Globe Democrat reporter with the
following result:
"You have completed your tour of
inspection, Mr.. Gould ?"
"Yes," responded Mr.. Gould,
laughingly, "and Capt. Shackford says
we have Travelled 5000 miles without a
scratch. The trip was very satisfac-
tory to me-" continued Mr.. Gould.
I'VE went directly from st. Louis
to Sedalis, and from Sedalia
10 Nevada over the new line,
the Nevada and Minden, which ex-
tends to Chetops, Kas., and opens up
rich coal mines filled with an almost
inexhaustib!e supply OF gas coal.
From Chetopa we went west over the
Denver, Memphis and Atlantic, and
then over the Fort Scott aud Wichita
to Wichita. We also made q trip
over the new Council Grove and sa-
lima line, and inspected the road
which is to give st. Louis the most d.
rect short line to Salina. We next
went to Kansas City,"

principally to personally inspect

streets which are being pu. down for
