RUMBLINGS OF THE RAIL.
CONSTRUCTION WORK ON THE TEN.
NEssEE.MfDLAND RETARDED.
Will Be Hurried Through to the Ten
nessee River. However, and Therce to
Nashville and onward-Travel to
Texas-The Memphis g. Tuscaloosa.


The weather prevailing during the past
Week or ten days has had depressing
Effect on outdoor work of all kinds, es-
pecially railway construction.
This fact was impressed upon the rail-
road man OF THE APPEAL yesterday by
Mai. r. II. Temple, chief engineer of the
tennessee Midland Road, in his answer to
the reporters question; "How is work on
the Midland extension progressing"
Moderately" the Major replied, "but
as rapidly as uniavorable elements will
permit. Excessive rain has more effect,
probably, on railroad building than any
other class Of work, since the defects
caused by that condition are heavy ex-
pense to remedy. However, we will pro-
coed as rapidly as possible with the Ten
nessee River extension"
"Will you be able to reach that point in
the time expected, January nextP'
81 think so, unless the weather between
this time and that is too severe"
"What about its continuation TO Nash
ville?"
.r,"Oh, we do not propose to stop at the
Tennessee River as matter OF cou rse.
Nashville is the next objective point, and
will be reached in aboutthc time originally
prescribed"
"The people of Bolivar, understand,
are warmly attached to the Midland, and
would welcome branch line to their
town. What are their chances in that di-
rection?"
''That question has been agitated con-
siderably, and may result in the building
of the branch. have been told that the
Hatchie bottom is one OF the finest
stretches oil country in this section, par
ticuarly from timber standpoint. A
railroad from Bolivar to connect with our
line at Whitevile, would, il the repre-
sentation be true, prove paying invest
ment."
The Midland has thus far this season
carried nearly ZOO bales Of cotton.
The travel Texasward for the mex
three months will be very heavy. Boil
the Iron Mountain and Little Rock
Memphis roads are making extra efforts e
meet the demand for transportation iacili
ties, and frequently fall upon handsome
excursion parties.
