Petersburg Press: We ere informed
|by Mr. II. Harrell, OF this place, that fol
. week past Cable Il kaufman and ID
y. Mackey have been at Augusta figur'
ing upon the possibility Of running .
branch road from some place on the All
Line 10 Augusta to tap the coal beds thai
are known TO exist there. The surveyors
were TO be found on the ground the
first Of this week 10 locate the road
The original design Of the old Air Line
company was to 20 by Augusta, and the
road wss 30 located, but they demanded
OF Cable & Kaufman half interest in Q
large body Of land that was owned BY
them as pay for running the road 70 that
place, but Cable Il Kaufman got mad
during the negotiations and told the Air
Line people they could take their road
where they pleased, and as consequence
Winslow got the benefit and the Wash
ington firm was left out in the cold.
This syndicate, Cable &. Kaufman and
Mackey, have just purchased 400 acres
more Of land Ia aud around Augusta
and the branch is an assured fact. We
have heard number OF times that the
Air Line folks regretted having made
the curve in their line in order 10 take
in Winslow, and leave Augusta and her
coal beds out. The branch Is to tap the
main line near the iron bridge that was
lost for so many years.

JASPER AND GOsPORT Il. Il,


Martin Co. TribLne.
Hon. John N. Brecn returned Friday
from q trip 10 Gosport, Indiana. where
he went few days ago in the interests OF
the proposed new railroad from Jasper
10 that city. lie travelled by buggy and
talked with the people al along tie
route. The outlook Is very favorable,
and he found the people OF Greene coun-
|ty especially, more enthusiastic IL possi-
Ible, than anywhere else visited. Three
townships In that county will undoubt-
Iedly vote two per cent. tax. and the
|citizens all along the line are fully alive
10 the importance Of the move. There
seems to be general feeling among the
people of the contiguous territory
through the counties OF Dubois. Martin,
Daviess and Greene, that the road will
be built aud that they are willing TO as
aist 10 the full extent of their abilities.
The company should lose no time in
submitting proposition to the people as
the occasion is now ripe for action. We
believe the friends and promoters Of the
enterprise will be very favorably sur
prised at the result when the public Is
finally given a chance TO express its SEN
|timents, and all the encouragement ex-
pectcd will be given.
II is q question Of vital Importance 70
the business interests OF the entire popn-
Ilation OF the communities through which
1.-The road will pass, and should claim their
undivided attention. Every township
lalong the line should vote the tax with
lout dissent and be thankful for the privi-
IIege OF doing so. The increased vaIua-
tion Of the property TO the owners there
of and the additional tax paid by the
railroad company would repay many
times over IN very short time the in.
significant sum asked 10 be voted in the
way Of tax. There is not a township
along the line but is in excellent shape
financially 10 guarantee q two per cent
tax. and the entcrprisipg citizens along
the line from Jasper 10 Gosport should
see that ii is done and no mistake.

RACING IN ENGLAND.

Picturesque Individual In the Duke of
Portland-A Bright spo. In His Career.
LONDON, June 9.-This has been tre-
mendOus racing week, with the Derby on
Wednesday and the Oaks yesterday, and
any number of turfmen's dinners and
such functions sandWiched in between
on Thursday to give an opportunity
to discuss the event. All tastes are suited
The Derby is won by Donavsn, tremen-
dnns favnrita and the OAls hy Ahhsss de-
J0dararre, such a rank outsider that she
was scarcely mentioned in the betting
lists, and 200 to l might have been had
against her.
This remarkable win is another instance
of the marvellous luck of Colonel North,
the Bonanza Nitrate King, for, though
he entered into Lord Randolph
Churchil's name, Abbess is un-
derstOod to practically belong
to North, whose financial backing keeps
the stable going. Churchill, before this
association with North, had never won
turf event, but for once, Churchill. though
mixed up in all racing, is not the chief
picturesque figure.
That individual is the Duke of Port
land, and even those VINO ordinarily
take but slight interest in dukes can
not fail 10 be interested in this young
man. His luck has been sim.
ply wonderful At the age of 10 he
was an unimportant lieutenant in the
Coldstream Guards, with any number of
uncles, cousins and all kinds of things
standing between himself and the Duke
dom of Portland, he being the son of
second son of third son of the duke
At 30 his father died. leaving him heir
to the Duk, dom and one of the biggest for
tunes in England. The old Duke, who was
then living, promptly presented him with
e70, 600 "to go on with, as he put it, in
manner becoming gentleman while wait
ing for him, the old Duke, to die. He
never had to bother about being grateful,
for the old Duke did not want { see him,
and never did see him until the day Of his
death
On that day he inherited miles and miles
of the most valuable land IN England,
great deal of it in the heart Of London, the
finest estate perhaps in the kingdom, and
great many million pounds IN hard cash to
make everything run smoothly. He does
not gamble, but went in for horse racing
in a wild way, with only sixteen horse in
his stable He has won the Derby two
years in succession.
In four days he is to bs married to
very handsome young woman, about
6 feet tall, with whom he is desper-
ately in love, and though he has
ruined the hopes of many British
mothers, who looked axiously and
hopefully upon him az the best catch in
England he is cheered by the blessing and
PRAYERS of the British matron, ar whole,
for his patriotism in marrying the daughter
Of an English squire, and not Yankee.

RAILROAD WORK.

What is Being Done Around the Hill
by the w. & II. Contractors.
The continued bad YEA ther of the past
week or so hes greatly retarded work on
the Wheeling and Harrisburg terminals in
this city. outside of the purely tunnel
work, but the men have got to work again
and are making the dirt fly along the line
A gang are at work in the bed of the
creek, opposite the east portal of the main
tunnel, Just this side of Fulton, sinking
the foundations for the centre pier Of the
permanent railroad bridge, and have al
ready got down a considerable distance
below the bed of the stream. A large
quantity of stone for this pier is on the
ground. and this work will be pushed rap
idly, in order 10 get the foundations above
the water mark before any more HOODS
come down the valley.
Insthe eastern opening OF the main
tunnel work is moving right along, the
rock being hauled out on TO the Peninsula
and dumped over the trestle, forming a
very high fill mp TO what will be the south
end of the permanent railroad bridge.
Going south, gangs of men were at work
Saturday stacking up ties, which are be-
ing hauled out to the Peninsula by teams
At the Peninsula cemetery bridge, the
work on the stone piers for the overhead
crossing o. the track over the Peninsula
road is about three-qusrters done, and viii
soon be completed, with good weather.
Down below the B. & o. tunnel work
men are preparing the road-bed, and worR
has been commenced still further south
near the slaughter house property: A very
large proportion of the roadbed along the
creek is practically ready for the ties.

AS MIR BLAINE's GUEST.
President Harrison Almost Deter mined to
Make Visit to bar HarbOr.
Specinl Ttlcnrnrn ln The Peniee-

| opectdi Iele9Tdnl 10 ne Register.
WASHINGTON, June 9-At the instiga-
ton of few shrewd leaders of the Repub-
lican party, President Harrison has been
persuaded to favOrably consider PROPOSE
tion to become guest of Secretary Blaine
at Bar Harbor Some time during July
these leaders have assured Secretary Blaine
and have intimatsd to the President that
the strained relations between the Execu-
tive and his Premier were exerciziug a de-
mOralizing tendency upon the party at
large and that the partisans Of Blaine, who
exalt him above all others, are growing re-
seDtful because they believe ne is slighted
and treated with disrespect In ORDER to
prevent the spread Of the feeling something
IN the nature of an open display of cor
dislity between the President and his Sec
retsry of State was urged.
Mr.. Blaine owns one of the most elegant
cottages at Bar Harbor, and he suggested
that the President shOuld become his guest
there, saying that no stronger evidence of
good will between himself and the Presi-
dent could be shown. The project has
gone so far as to include the Presidents g
acceptance, but the exact date of the visit
has not been determined. 1t is to be con-
verted into triumphal trip for the Presi-
dent. The Republicans along the sea coast
will e1thuse enough to do him the honor
desired.
The United States steamer Despatch,
which President Arthur appropriated as a
private pleasure yacht and which Presi-
dent Cleveland, upon his entering the
White House, ordered into the naval ser
vice with the remark that when the Pres
ident went off to enjoy himself he should
pay his expenses like other citizens, is to
be especially fitted up for the sccommoda-
tion and use of President Harrison and
family and friends 1t is to sail from the
Washington Navy Yard with the Presi-
dents flag, adopted by President Arthur,
flying from her peak. The Despatch will
have full complement of officers and sea
men and in fact, will be provided with
everything calculated to lend eclst to the
expedition.
The President will stop at Boston, New
port and several other seaports, the inhab-
itants of each place being given timely no.
tice, that they may prepare to do honor to
the illustriOus passengers of the Despatch.
1t is understood that Mr.. Stephen B
Elkins was one of the moving spirits in the
scheme to have the President and Secre-
tary Blaine make public display of their
pretended fOndness for each other; it re-
mains to be seen how the plan will work,
for it will be a severe trial to the two great
Republicans. Secretary Blaine feels thet
the President has deliberately humiliated
him on more than one occasion in summa-
rily rejecting some of his most cherished
opportunities, and the President suspects
that his premier is scheming to make the
administration rebound TO his glory.
