ON RAIL AND CROssTIE.
Local and General Gossip in Railway
Circles.


The American Loan and Trust Company
of New York filed bill in the United
States District Court at Montgomery last
week to foreclose and sell the Montgomery
and Florida railroad under a trust deed.
AS the bill authorizing the Louisville and
Nashville railroad to build double track
between Louisville and Cincinnati, also be-
tween Louisville and Lexington, has passed
the Legislature of Kentucky, it is expected
that the work will begin at once. it will be
completed and in operation before the end
of the present year.
At the late meeting of the directors of
the Louisville and Nashville railroad the
capital stock of the company was increased
81, 900, 600 for the purpose of improving its
line and the construction of branch roads
OF this amount 5000, 900 is already in the
treasury, and this will be expended at an
early day in the construction of its numer-
Gus feeders to the main system.
Col George T. Fry will leave this morn
ing for Louisville to attend the railroad
meeting which is to be held there tomorrow.
He will be in Atlanta on Wednesday, where
he will remain until March 10, going east
on that date to complete his arrangements
for the construction work on the Atlanta.
Atlantic and Great Western railroad, and
where the final route and Southern terminus
will in all probability be determined.
The Atlanta and Florida is now being
constructed at the rate of mile day. The
road is considered an important addition to
Southern and Southeastern Georgia, forming
as 1t will great outlet for travel and traf-
fic, which has been greatly needed in that
section. BY the Atlanta and Florida a
saving of at least seventy five miles is
guaranteed over all other routes. The COM
pany pushing tho construction have ample
means at their command, being supported
by John n. Dunn, Of Atlanta, President Of
the COmpanV

PREsBYTERIANs PLEASED.
They Like Their New Organ-Dr.
Prices Last Sermon.

Both services at the Independent Presby-
terrain church yesterday were unusually
well attended At the morning service the
regular quarterly communion service was
celebrated. The sermon was by Rev. DR..
Arson.
At the evening service the new organ was
the main feature of interest to many stran-
gers and visitors as well as TO the congre-
cation. During the playing Of the prelude
close attention was given to the peculiar
construction and chief musical characters
ties of the instrument. 1t was noticeable
that at times there WIS a decided vibratory
sound, a want Of steadiness and precision OF
tone, arising probably from the
newness Of the mechanism. This agitate
style of intonation was most noticeable
in the full and strong passages when the
greatest demand is made on the players
power and execution. The pedal tones
whenever used were better sustained and
more regular in their resonance. After the
prelude the opening selection, Prepare Ye
the Way of the Lord" was sung. This is a
finished musical composition, and begins
with "a rectative for tenor, which was rem
der7d by Mr. W. Falconer. The choir dis
played considerable skill and taste ill the
singing of the choral passages.
Mrs Postelps cultivated voice was also
heard in this piece to fine advantage. The
general effect of both singing and the or
gan accompaniment was good throughout
the entire services.
The postlude, played by Prof. Barrett, of
Boston, was a musical treat, and fully illus
trated the breadth of expression, and tonal
qualities of the organ. So entertaining was
the postlude that the majority of the con-
gregation resumed their seats until the last
note was played.
Rev. w +. Price preached the last of his
series Of sermons. His subject was, Elijah
and his wish to sacrifice his life,n and the
theme was presented III the speakers usual
interesting and earnest style.

Jules Verne's Great Story as it is Seen
on the Stage.
Jules Verne's great story, Michael Stro-
goff, which has been converted into spec
tacular play, will be the attraction at the
Theatre tonight
Michael Strogof" has a record une-
qualed by any similar play in dramatic his
tory. 1t was originally produced in the
French language at the Theater du Chata-
let, Paris, and ran there continuously for
700 performances, nearly two years In
the meantime a translation was made into
the English language, and this was produced
at the Adelphi Theater, London Here it
ran steadily for nearly one year. Then the
late Samuel Colville, j. II. Haverly and
Eugene Tompl1ins bought the English YER
sion for America. Colville made money
with it, and SO did Haverly.
Recognizing the great strength of the
play, the strong hold it had upon the
masses of the people, and the great POSSIBLE
titles for spectacular display, Mr.. Charles l..
Andrews purchased the piece and all its
American rights. 1t will thus be- seen that
