THE new play, Love in Harness." pro.

ed hit. From the rise of the curtain till
its final fall, there il bustlinR, rapid sue
cession of humorous incidents. The plot
is Just enough complicated to hold the at
tentIon OF the audience without calling Tor
any mental effort TO follow IL. The acting
is 80 well distributed among the various
characters that each has something clever
Ia do, and every body in the cast made the
most OF his or her opportunities. Itwould
be impossible in brief space to mention the
myriad incidents Of the piece. The audi
ence was large, and the laughter elected
was literally incessant."

eLARKsvIhLEs GREAT DAY

CLARsvILLE, TBSN., Oct. 4.-This
has been one Of the prettiest days
ever seen at the City of Seven Hills.
The home people began stirring
around as carly as o'clock, and by
daylight everybody was awake aud
assisting in the preparations for the
incoming guests. The early morning
train from the south brought in a
large delegation of old soldiers, who
came as individuals, and these were
met at the depot and escorted as they
desired to be, and then the Commit
tee on reception began their work in
earnest. Each train that followed
brought many stranges, and by IL
o'clock II was conceded that all who
were expected had arrived. The
members of Forbes Bivsuac and the
GAINESVILLE City Guards were particu-
lArly busy attending the guests, all OF
whom were ed.for with alacrity
and the most perfect caution. Cald-
well Bivouac of Russellville and It's
many friends was the first batch of
strangers to arrive, and these num-
bored l3S souls. An hour or two lat

Pointers About The Ohio Valley.

The Ohio Valley railroad company
have leased $50 new cars from the
American Contract at New York.
The Ohio Valley Railway is soon to
enter Evansville. Chief Engineer &C.
nupg began work on the new division
between this city and Henderson the
latter part of last week by putting a
corps of engineers in the field to sur
vey the route. 1t will cross the Ohio
river just below Green River Island.
The Central Construction Company
has boen awarded the contract for do
ing the grading, aud it is understood
that the road will be completed and in
running order by January l, 1888.
The right of way between the Indiana
shore at Green River Island and this
city has been given by property own
ers without charge, and the Kentucky
side will be secured this week. A
barge will transfer trains across the
Ohio. When completed, Henderson
will have in the Ohio Valley a COM
peting line with the l.. & n. in reach
ing the system of roads running
orthwest.-Evansville journal.
The Ohio Valley railroad has sur
prised a great number ofrailroad men
who were only too quick at the start
to prophecy that 1t would never be
money making road, and is now
showing better returns than many
railroads in the State which boast a
greater mileage. August was the
largest month in the history of the
road, and the earnings for that period
alone reach something over $ll 900.
This is moro than 100 per cent in
crease over the corresponding month
in 1887, and still larger than any
other month SO far during 1883.
All the towns along the line of the
Ohio Valley are prospecting with the
road, and new ones are springing up
all the time, so that the business of
the road will very probably keep on
increasing. With President Kelsey
and General freight and Passenger
Agent James L. Murphy, a Louisville
boy, at the head success is bound TO
follow. -Courier-J ournal,

CANTON.

CANTON, Ky, Oct. 4-There Is
much talk here about the proposed
railroad from Cumberland Gap to
Cairo. have interviewed many of
the citizens in this, the Canton pre-
cinct, and find nearly every one ia
vorable TO the project and the terms
that have been reported to us, viz !:
that the county is TO vote subsidy
of fifty thousand dollars in $50 so
bonds, for which the road will be
built and free wagon bridge with
the railroad bridge across the Cum
berland river. This is the cheapest
proposition we have ever had for a
road, and this route is the one that
would benefit more people in Trigg
than any other. And there Is cross
tie timber enough in one mile of the
road on each side to pay the whole
amount asked of us, timber that is
fit for no other purpose. Then this
route would give Hopkinsville all
the competing routes she would need,
for it would put her in connection
with the great Mississippi water sys-
tenn right here at Canton, where We
have the best wharf on the river and
no town in the state has cheaper
freight rates than we shave. Itwould
open up the immense hills of iron ore
that are between the rivers and there
is no end to the timber. We say
whoop her up.

who made speech at public meet
ing called for the purpose ofarousing
a feeling of enterprise among the

istocracY and too little enterprise.
His talk was mostly to the working
men, and when he said he would not
give one rd-fsted, honest working
man for an acre Of your aristocracy
he brought down the house. lie was
particularly severe upon those who
are able and refuse to give. He had
contempt for men who shaved
notes, took mortgages, foreclosd
them and then expected to reap the
benefit of every enterprise without
giving a cent. lie said he would not
give the sixty men to be brought
here through the medium of this fac
tory for all the mossbacks, capitalists
and aristocrats that could be put in a
ten-acre field"
We quote the above for the benefit
of our business men, who can learn a
