West Virginia Railroads.

II IL stated that the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company and tho West Virginia
Central have made an agreement that the
latter is to be extended from Elhns, ITS
present terminus, TO Belington-7in the
general direction, so 70 speak, OF Virginia
or the eastern part Of West Virginia.
The Grafton and Greenbrier and narrow
gauge road is to be changed to the stand
ard gauge and finished to its Greenbrier
terminus. Then it will proceed southwark
and perhaps towards. US.
The West Virginia Central also contem-
plates building 10 the South and connect
ing with the Chesapeake and Ohio and
Norfolk and Western. They also expect to
make junction with tho Warm-Springs
branch Of the Chesapeake and Ohio.
Grafton IL $50 miles from Baltimore, and
not much further from Richmond.
The West Virginia Central comes into
West Virginia from Western Maryland, and
makes for the South. 1t comes into West
Virginia far enough to the east to make us
interested in it if it defects q little to the
left and gives glance now and then to-
wards Richmond.
The connection spoken of with the Nor
folk and Western seems to contemplate a
Norfolk terminus for the connecting lines.

COLONEL JONES IN LUCK.
He Captures q Genuine Porpoise snaAo'
sncb ma Few other Colonies Have Seen.

Colonel ]. B. Jones was fishing on the
boyks az Redfoot creek, Tenn, says the
Giobel ncrnocr1f. having left his boat to
escane the not sun, and had hardly thrown
his line ont into the water when he saw
dark object rapidly approaching the sur
face. u.L. :. a,
ALLIGATOR of unusual size. but on closer oo-
servation discovered 1t TO DO an enormous
creeping serpent. ...,.:,
Gov, Yards of him Colonel Jones gathered
ao,ne stones about the size of goose-eggs
and struck il several times in succession.
Cd etrange 10 saw. the blows did not APP
near 70 worry his snakeship 10 any great
degree. "a il never once lett the surface OF
the water but continued unconcernedly
AZ a slow pace upstream.
Colonel Jones Immediately seized ms
rod and line and scampered hastily 10 his
boat. II was only a question of few min
utes before he was in mId-water and in hot
pursuit of the object, which was soon
overtaken. When within close proximity
he noticed the huge reptile seemed to be
blind and apparently harmless.
Fearing an attack, however, Colonel
Jones seized his rifle and taking aim at his
head fred. The bullet lodged in the col
lar bone and broke its neck. There was
slight movement Of the tai, a little slash

floating down stream.
cul1ar reptile. Colonel Jones made lasso
from a stout rope which he had IN the boat
and threw il around its body, thus en-
abling him to tow it ashore.
A critical examination developed the fact
that he had captured a monster snake
never before seen in this part of the coun-
try. IL had q head resembling long,
funnel-shaped horn, the body being stint
lar to small kegs joined together. Nhat
made it more queer each keg seemed 70
have n bunchole or outlet, some of the
0neer knots being on the sides and some
on the ton. Hauling the tail on the bank,
which was by no means an easy task, he
onened one of the knots with iack-knife
and found il TO be full of clear, purified
oil. IT,,
sportsman who has hunted all over the
world. came up and frantleally gesticu,
latlng. he exclaimed: Good God, John
Your fortune is made !"
Further. he said 1t was porpoise snake,
and n rare specimen to be found thus far
north. The oil in the kegs has since been
| found to be pure, unauthorized porpoise
oil Twelve forty-gallOn barrels were
flled The oil has been shipped to Pitts
burgh and will realize handsome fund for
Colonel Jones. -,
By way Of explanation it should be said
TO the incredulous that this IS species OF
the snake family which obtains oil by
ninnpinr its sharp head into the side of a
porpoise and draining every drop Of oil
from its body.
The snake was forty-three feet long and
Colonel Jones has the kegs and bungs In
his possession.

The Henrico Ticket,

The Democrats of Henrico are ceaseless
In their efforts to draw the attention of
the peopleof thecounty to the Importance
of the election which takes place on the
fourth Thursday in this month.
They aim to secure better corpsof OFF,
cials and a better government fol- the coun-
ty, and they hope to have the support and
announcement of many voters who have
heretofore acted with the Republicans.
Their ambition is TO give Henrico the po-
sition to which she is entitled, and in this
they should have general sympathy and
cooperation.
The canvass so far made develops tho
fact that the Democrats are well organized
and hopeful of victory. Their ticket was
nominated at a primary, and the selections
fell upon good, honest, deserving Demo-
Gratis.
Each one of our voters should take o
PRIDE in supporting the ticket as an entire
ty, so that the fruits of success shall be
complete.
Our opponents already foresee defeat,
and hence their effort is to save one or two
Of their fayorite candidates. OF course,
we cannot treat on any such terms. We
can sweep the field aud ought to do it.
The election OF the whole ticket should
be our aim.

NJ. CoBrE, the too loquacious Italian
Consul at New Orleans, is now in Washing
ton comforting with the Marquis IMPE-
RrAII and will thence proceed to New York
and Rome.
Mayor SHAKESPEARE has addressed let
fer TO Governor NICHOLS characterizing
CORES letter to the grand jury as imper-
tinent and false and declaring that the
Consul has outlived, if he ever had, any
usefulness in New Orleans, "and that by
his utterances he inches the infammable
people to riot or sullen IMPOSITION to the
laws of country where they have sought
an asylum"
The Mayor also represents that CoRrE Is
the depository" as he himself confesses
himself to be, "of criminal secrets re-
latine to the individuals Of his race resi-
dent in New Orleans, and refuses to give
TO the department of police and justice the
information he has, and thereby increases
the danger to the community from those
criminals" For these reasons the Mayor
asks the Governor to request the Secretary
of State to recall the exequatur of NJ
CoRTE.

Street Railroads.

We stated last week that there were TO
be constructed as soon as possible in
Washington City and Georgetown a new
system Of street-railroads using the cable
instead Of electricity and that these roads
were expected TO cost several millions of
dollars. and we asked the Washington Post
TO tell us why the electric system had been
discarded. We assumed that ii was for
no light cause that the owners Of these
millions Of dollars had decided TO use ca
bles rather chan electricity. The Post re-
plies TO our interrogatory as follows:
"The adoption Of the cable system by this
great corporation does not necessarily prove that
a cable road Is better than an electric road.
Circumstances alter cases The electric road
may be tho better In some ceses-that IL, IL may
be the more economical construction on certain
hnos and under certain conditions. The Wash
rngton and Georgetown road probably selected

general satisfaction. A fourth electric road win
soon connect the city with the Chen Echo chau-
tauqus. These roads answer every purpose
which their business requires and at much
less cost Of construction than would DO involved
IN carrying cable over the same routes and
distances."
We are glad to know these facts The
electric roads have worked so we'll in Rich
mond that despite their many short
comings they are exceedingly popular. We
suspected that it was possible the cable
road was best for. one city, the trolley-road
for another city, and storage-battery road
for third. We expect the storage-battery
roads 10 become both the most common
and the most popular. The Posts article
Is suggestive. We return thanks to our
Washington contemporary for its courtesy.

HE COULD CUT DOWN ANYTHING.
A Young Man Who Was Anxious to Please
the Night Editor.

The night editor probably did not look
at the cory. He sent it back to the desk
man on general principles, andthen roared
through the speaking-tube:

A little later he was in the city editor 5
room. and one Of the desk-men explained
that he had cut all that had been sent back
one half. with the exception OF one piece.

"But it's"

Then the desk man said never word,
but took a frmer grip on his pencil and
began work on the copy.
When he had finished he showed II to
the night editor, and the latter's face was
study.
Did you-did you cut it?" he faltered;

has he sent the record Of marriage-licenses
