THROUGH THE HOLY LAND.
Excursion Trips by Rail Through the
Valley of the Jordan.

Valley of the Jordan.
BosToN, February 19th.-The New Eng
land Land Company of Egypt is the name
of a syndicate, the object of which is the
purchase of lots in Port Said and Alexan-
dria and the building of 200-mile trunk
line from Port Said through to Damascus
in Arabia. Petrez and Mausey are at the
head of the enterprise. chief among whom
are General Butler, Frank Jones of New
Hampshire, Governor Goodell of the same
State, Senator Frye of Maine, and Jos. G.
Palmer of New jersey, the latter being
Treasurer.
The plan is to build the road through the
mountainous region in Southern Palestine,
running through the picturesque valley
where flows the Bible-famed river Jordan,
and thence on to Damascus.
1t is understood that General Butler and
Frank Jones promise that with their new
railroad equipped with steel rails and
eighty-ton engines, vestibule cars and West
il ghouse air brakes the American tourist
of the near future will have all the modern
improvements at his command.
Through Palestine by Daylight" will at
tract globe-trotters, it is expected, from
everywhere, and a veritable crusade of for
eigners with pockets full of money will
arouse the modern Jerusalemites out OF
the woeful lethargy into which they have
fallen.
The first stop of importance in Palestine
will be Hebron, after that Roma, and then
Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Jericho, Nazareth,
Galilee, and Damascus on the extreme
east.
The possible development of the enter
prise is regarded as something immense,
and the only thing necessary to make the
trip to the HOLY Land and its numerous
points of interest will be matter of few
hours ride in car and the permission of
the local Government to build the road.
That this permission will be granted is con-
fidently expected by the pioneers in the
daring scheme. With a railroad running
to the town of Port Said it is expected that
grand boom will result, and house lots
now bought for a song will run up to triple
figures

THAT trouble at Jessup was the fault of
Deputy Marshal Barnhill," said Brewer.
He killed my friend last fall, and 1 guess

affair on Christmas Day. The devil got
into me that day and went to Jessup to
raise row.
81 shot off my rifle to gel them to arrest
me. / had nv men posted, and l knew if
they did try to lock me up there would be
trouble. They tried and l reckon you

Barnhill down to show them how nice it
was to kill fellow. l was sorry killed
some of the others, but since I've got my
hand in I'd just as lief kill more of them as
not. They won't arrest me, anyhow, for
