GIGANTIC RAILROAD SCHEME.
Connection To Be Established With
South America.
Two Continents United BY Continuous
Belt-Charter Applied For and Funds To
Be Raised.

The railroad committee of the international
congress is now considering among other
things, scheme for South American rail-
road. The proposed railway is to run from
Cartagena, in the United States of Columbia,
up the Magdalena valley and along the east
ern slope of the Andes, penetrating as far as
Cusco, Peru, where it is to connect with an
existing South America system. From Car
tagena northward communication with the
North American republics is to be over tw o
separat. lines.
One, of railroad, is to run up through Cen
trial America and Mexico, to join the railway
system west of the Mississippi river; the
other, by steamboat, is to cross the Caribbean
sea and the Gulf of Mexico, connecting at
New Orleans with eastern lines of travel.
With the missing South American links con,
structed, the two continents would be united
by continuous chain of railroads, extending
practically from the northern boundary OF
the United States to the southern edge of the
Argentine Republic. The project of building
these connecting links from Cartagena,
through Columbia, Ecuador and Peru to the
vicinity of Lapez, in Bolivia, has already
taken shape, and an association has been
formed BY Henry C. Parsons and Others
to determine whether such an enter
prise is possible and practicable. The asso-
citation has applied for charter to the Legls-
lature of Virginia, and, after getting TINS,
purposes to raise by subscription survey
fund of 100000, with which to send an eX-
ploring party through the region of country
to be built over. If the conditions are favor
able, the subscribers are to constitute the
stockholders of a company which will go on
to construct the road; if necessary, funds can
be raised The project comes before the Pan
American congress as one most likely to
further the ends which the delegates have In
view. and which can be commended to the
governments of the various countries through
which the line of railroad is to pass, as an
enterprise worthy OF all possible assistance
and protection.

Prussia,s Naughty Little Crown Prince.

The little Crown Prince of Germany
seems to have inherited some of the
qualities of his father. The Prince was
driving out with his governess. As
usual, the Germans cheered the boy or
lifted their hats to him SIS he passed, TO
which the young Prince ran'ied by
raising his bonnet. At last he got
bored with having continually TO ac-
knowledge the salutes of the populace.
Flinging himself back in the carriage
he said to his governess: 81 am tired
now, and shall not lift my bonnet any
more to them, no matter how much
they Cheer "You are q DaHghty boy"
replied the governass, F'and unless you
acknowledge the salutes of the people L
shall not continue to drive with you"
The Crown Prince sat up Immediately.
"Coaohman," said he. The coachman
looked around. "Stop the carriage,
coachman," continued the little one,
and, with a lordly wave of his hand to
the eoverness, added, "this lady will
get out.n-London Figaro.

FIRE IN SOUTH WALPOLE.
Large Emery Mills Destroyed-Loss

Large Emery Mills Destroved-Loss of
$4,000.
At an early hour Jan. 10, the Walpole eme-
ry mills at Walpole, Mass, were destroyed
by fire. The mills were formerly located at
Ashland, and were then known as the Alden
emery mills and were the only mills of the
kind in the United States. When the city of
Boston began the construction of the present
system of water works, and built the chain
of storage basins above birmingham, it took
the site of the A den mills, the machinery OF
which was removed to South Walpole, and
considerable money was expended in estab-
fishing the plant here. The name of the con-
Germ was then changed to the Walpole emery
mills corporation, and it has since used this
style of firm name, doing a large business.
The emery used at the mills was imported in
the quarried lump from Greece, ground here
and made ready for market.
The loss by the fire will reach $40, 900,
which is covered by insurance. The fire is
a great blow to South WaIpole, as, since the
shutting down of the woollen mills, this has
been the sole industry of the village. The
town has only one hand engine, which was
poWerless to check the flames.
