ABANDONED THE LINE.
The PrescOtt-Ph9nix Railroad Pro-
ject Too Much for Its Pro-
mOters.

SAN FRAcIsco, Cal, Sept. 1.-THE
projectors OF what is called the Santa Fe,
Prescott & Phoenix railroad, in course oil
construction from Ash Fork south to
Phoenix, A. t., have concluded to aban-
don work. They have found that the
building Of the railway through the
mountains Of Arizona is beset with many
unforeseen obstacles. The mountains
are high and precipitous, the canons are
deep and broken, and water has to be
developed by arti6ce, which is extremely
expensive. Laborers and supplies must
be imported, and on the line OF survey
there are many heavy rock cuts and deep
fills required. The survey from Ash Fork
to Prescott is through most desolate
county, yet it amounts to nothing as
compared with the heavy work to be en-
countered south of Prescott. There
seems to be no foundation for the report
that the Atlantic & Pacific or Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe roads we're interested
in the proposed line.
TAKE YOUR CHOICE.
Phoenix, A. T., Sept. 17.-Privste
kilograms from Prescott say that the re-
port that work had stopped on the Santa
Fe, Prescott & Phoenix railway, is false.
One thousand men are said to be at work,
laying one mile of track daily.

MARSHALL, July 9.-Our neighbor-
hood has filed up considerably with
visitors and boarders lately. Two
young doctors, Henry Frost, jr., NJ. D.,
resident physician of Willard Hospital,
New York. and DR.. Geddings, ofWash-
ington, arrived on bicycles, having
crossed the country via Centreville.
The presence of Mrs. T. III. Wyeth and
sister, Miss Horner, will be missed this
summer, as they sailed on the 9Th inst.
for European tour and to visit friends
in England. The Misses Frost, with
their friend, Miss Schuler, have return
ed home from Hannah More school for
young ladies, near Baltimore. Some of
the families in our midst have taken
cottages at the Fauquier Sulphur
Springs for the summer.
The present cool and delightful
weather proves most favorable to the
growing crops Of the farmers, who are
now busy securing the hay crop.
But little is heard of politics. Mr..
Cleveland has not lost favor with our
citizens simply because his late admin
istration proved him to be an unsection-
al and honest man.
At this season, as usual, the church,
goers are numerous. A children's day
is talked of for the benefit of the Sun
day school scholars of all the churches
of the town.
Rev. .Dr. Grammer's resignation of
Whittle parish is regretted by not only
his own people but by all classes of
Christians, who for the past eleven
years of his ministry here learned to
appreciate his gospel preaching and un-
yielding adherence to the doctrines of
the Episcopal Church.
Your correspondent was lately favor
ed to visit the University of Virginia
and to revive thereby the pleasant
memories of his youth when student
of the institution. Five hundred and
twenty-five students are enrolled on
this years catalogue. Among the few
professors surviving are Profs. NJ.
Schele de We're and Minor. Among its
publications are ''The University Mag
azine," college Topics and 'Corks
and Curls," to which will shortly be
added Autographs of the University

Correspondence Of the Alexandria Gaze

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazctte.1
Leesburg is a picturesqe, attractive
and thrifty town, and its social advan-
tages are not inferior to any in the
State. Indeed, it numbers among its
residents some of Virginia's most dis
tinguished men. One of the principal
improvements of note is the fine and
commodious hotel, the "Leesburg Inn,
owned by Col. e. V. White and man
aged by A. w. Price, late of the Metro
politan Hotel of Washington. Mr..
Price is most ably assisted by Mr.. John
LoDagan, of Alexandria. John is o
model hotel man, and is untiring in his
efforts to do everything in his power
for the comfort and convenience Of his
guests. Water from the celebrated
Paeonian Spring is served without
money and without price. This water
is noted for its medicinal properties,
and is highly spoken of by physicians
throughout the State. A dance was
given by the manager on Tuesday night
last and was largely attended and high
ly enjoyed by the youth and beauty of
the town. Among the ladies present,
all of whom were most tastefully and
elegantly attired, were the following
Mrs. w. w. Price, Mrs. j. c. Glenn
ments, Mrs. S. Jones, Mrs. ]. Whipple,
Mrs. Kate p Carter, Miss Mary Dibrell,
Miss Florence Dauson of Baltimore,
Miss Bassell of Clarksburg, W. Va,
Miss McNIillen of Columbus, Ohio, and
Miss Myra English. Among the gen
tlemen, all Of whom wore the regulation
dress suits, were Messrs. w. w. Price,
JAS. r. Whipple, B. V. White, Robert
Minus, Judge Mason, Thomas Moore,
J. Lee Whitmore, J. w. Bassell, jr.,
Horace English and J. G. White.
In regard to the political issue of the
day the good people of this town are
properly represented, think, when |
say Cleveland. Although not altogether
acceptable, he will be supported by them

Virginian's duty is to do his level best

ETCHED AND SKETcuED-A prominent
negro voter of Atlanta stopped Mr.. a. L. Hol-
brook, member of the city council on the
street short time ago, and said:
''Mr. Holbrook, I'ze dun 'cided to vote the
dimocrat ticket the next lection
why, John" said Mr.. Holbrook, whats
the matter with you? ~
well, you see, Pze been voting the 'publi-
can ticket ever since the war, dat's, you
know, has always been my hatform, but Pze
been studyin' dis question of high terrace
and low terrace considerable, and Tze just
cum de conclusion dat Mr. Cleveland is right.
Mr.. Harrison, you know, has never been down
here in dis country and he don't know what
we needs, but Mr. Cleveland has. s'pose up
whar Mr. Harrison comes from, in dat high
country whar dcy has so many high hills and
big rocks, dey is 'bleeged to have high
terrace. but you know as well as i does dat
down in dis fiat country, whar me and you
wuz riz we don't want no high terrace q low
terrace is al we 'quires. Ize dun made up
my mind to vote fur Mr. Cleveland, kaize
he's been down here and know jist what we
wants.
This will solve the vexed question of the
politicians high terrace" for the hill coun-
try and a low terrace for the fat country
would unite all parties and make even the
f'colored brother" democrat.

In consequence OF this fresh outbreak
of cholera all the stokers OF the Nor
