Tba Augusta Chronicle says: The
Georgia. Carolina and Northern railway of
the Seaboard Air Line, is now open to Clln-
ION s c.. distance of ninety-one miles
from Monroe and will be open for business
N Greenwood Q19 niles by Sept. 10. At
Greenwood this line will tap the Port Royal
and Western Carolina, of the Central sys-
tenn. which will give them a connection to
Augusta Ga.
The good people of Allendale are very
much interested at this time in the South
Sound railroad, which. they fear, will give
them the Ro-by. Brunson is also much con-
cerned in regard to the same thing, and
both towns are making systematic effort
tosecure the road. 1t is understood that
there will be no trouble about securing the
rights of way for the road through the
towns. and the authorities are not unwill-
ing to take both of them IN on their routes,
provided sufficient inducement is offered.
The Alabama railroad commission has
recommended to the superintendent Of the
Savannah and Western railway that when
freights are consigned to country mer-
chants whose.places of business are distant
from the point on the railroad at which the
freights are to be delivered, that a reason
able time snail be given them in which TO
take their freights away, 50 as to avoid the
rule recurring payment Of extra charge for
safe-keeping of the freights after twenty
four hours notice; and that the time to be
allowed for taking the freight away should
be determined by taking into considera-
ton the distance of the place of business
from the railway station.
The Kentucky Trades Journal says an
officer of one OF the New York banks is of
the opinion that the high rates now ruling
for money have not only prevented gold
shipments to Europe, but will also check
shipments of specie to the west. The mar
ket is in such position that it might easily
be Manipulated in the interest of Wall street
SPECTATORS. But if the money market is
left to itself it will work its way out of
pending difficulties. Unless rates are main
tanned and the railways are economically
managed during the next twelve months it
will be difficult for many lines to earn their
fixed charges. 1t is expected that money
will be in active demand for the remainder
of the year, and at times command very
high rates.
The Johnson City (Tenn.) Comet saws
that the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia syndicate controls the Atlantic and
Danville railroad. aud will extend it from
Danvllle west. The route the road will
take has been marked out to the Comet
by Col c. S. Brice. With few excep-
tions the road is to be built
from Danville to WilkesboFo, N c.,
hence it will follow the Yadkin river to the
top OF the Blue Ridge, ard crossing through
COOKS Gap, strike the headwaters of
Watauga, and follow it to johnson CITY.
BY this route one-half per cent grades are
secured across the mountains and less than
L per cent. elsewhere. The line has been
surveyed from here to the top of Blue
Ridge, and charter obtained for the road.
The road will be built to cut out the Nor
FOLK and Western, aud Johnson City will be
the objective point"
In recent lecture before scientific cIuh
Prof Elihu Thomson declared that mnch
higher speeds than can now be obtained
with steam locomotives are to be expected
Dy means OF electricity, and he considered
from IOU TO even 100 miles an hour possible
While In the steam locomotive there are
Teclprocatlng parts that must be put in mo-
ton, stopped and reversed contin-
ually, In the electric locomo-
i've we have simply a ro-
tary motion, which makes it possible to run
with economy at much higher rates Of
speed. DE believed that if we could come
eack after another hundred years we would
ma l5O miles an hour to be the speed of
travelling, adding: 1T simply depends upon
nlalng the necessary method of applvino
sufhclent power, and building the locomo-
yves TO suit, and arrangements being
du0pted 70 keep the cars on the track
