r. g. D. Schemes,
Gastonia, IN. C.,) Gazette

Nhstonihi IN va uhhete
Until very recently we had but
little faith in the the rumored new
railroad from Danville to Gastonia,
but we have figured out the whole
plan and find it a much more eX-
tensiye scheme than we had dream
cd of.
The primary aim was not to save
distance, but to get satisfactory
route without releasing the North
Carolina road. Reference to the
map at once suggested the plan,
viz, to build a road from Danville
by Winston to strike the Tennessee
& Ohio, or more modestly speak
ing, the Statesville road, which the
r. & d. practically owns, at such
point as, with the least expense of
building, would give the most direct
route to Charlotte This point
would probably be Mooresville, the
distance being about the same as at
present. But this being settled,
the map showed an elbow at Char
lotte, in going toward the south
west, which could be cut off by
building about thirty miles Of track
from Mooresville or Mount Morne
to Gastonia, saving third of the
distance.
Then again the Chester and Lee
noir road and the road from Win
ston to Wilkesboro with their ter
mini near together, both point to-
ward Cranberry, Johnson City, E.
r., V. & G. connections and north
western possibilities in a way too
suggestive to be overlooked. With
these connections, It is only neces-
sary to widen the gauge of the c,
& L. to have a straight line from
the South Atlantic coast to the
northwest.

Census Returns.

The first estimate Of the population
of the District of Columbia, as made
by Superintendent Porter on the 22d
inst, is 22S,160. The population in
1880 was III ,624. The increase during
the last ten years is, therefore, about
90 per cent. The population in 1870
was 1877 200, and in 1860, 75,0S0
The census gives New York City a
population of 1,62S,227. In 1880 the
return was ,206,2 99; the gain is now
420,92S, almost 35 per cent. in ten
years.
Cincinnati's population pans out a
round 100000 in 1890, a gain OF about
10 per cent. on 1880.
The census enumerators concluded
their work in Baltimore a few days
ago The population Of that city is
now 4S2,095 against 332, 100 in 1880.

THE ICEEAeTCRY.
Contract Closed and Plant will be in
Operation in Forty Days.

The present warm spell and the ice
famine have caused johnson City
people to enquire closely into the
source of supply, and we have been
often asked when the ice factory would
be started here. Yesterday the COMET
saw Mr.. w. j. Graham and when ask
cd about the matter said the contract
for the machinery had beel closed
and the first payment made and by
the terms of the contract the plant is
to be in operations in forty days from
June oath The contractors wanted
nine months in which to build the
plant, and other parties could not
build it under twelve or eighteen
months, but Mr.. Graham was not to
be delayed in such IL manner and got
the time cut down to forty days, and
agrees to pay $15 day for every day
itruns before that time, and it is pos
sible we may be able to use home
made ice some time in July. The
plant will be located in the Proctor
Land Co.'S addition on the Three C's
road and near large spring Of pure
freestone water.
