FRIDAY The PROGRESS was presented
with a half bushel of as fine a speci-
men Of sweet potatoes as we ever saw.
Eight made a heaping measure and
weighed thirty pounds. They are of
the Southern Queen variety and were
raised by Mr.. ID. Mathis, of Bossier,
who despite the drouth and bad season
for potatoes made 100 bushels TO the

with a nice, late watermelon, for both
of which he has our profound thanks.

II is hoped that the members of the

out against chartering the New Castle

bill, as the charter came from the
House. TO require the new railroad
to cross the p, w. & Il, Railroad on
Water street on an overhead bridge
In the first inception OF the road, is
virtually defeat Of the enterprise.
In the charter that was passed by the

were well satisfied, and 1t seems to US
that what satisfies the principals ought
TO satisfy others. 1t was we'll under.
stood that the new railroad was to
come into the city over Market street
bridge. and have Its terminus between
the bridge and the p, W. Il b. Rail
read on Water street.
This was an arrangement that really
incommoded no one, suited every one
interested, and would have been OF the
greatest advantage to both Railroad
Companies. 1t will simply be an i'm
possibility for the new railroad to
cross the r.. W. & b. Railroad on an
overhead bridge, and even II au over
head bridge was built at that point, 1t
would have to be such an intricate at
fair as very likely to be In the road Of
the b. & o. Railroad, and to be very
difficult OF access ON account Of the
steep grades required on either side.
Indeed, 1t is difficult to soc how a grade
oan be- effected on the north side of
Water streetwithout the condemnation
orproperty, and going TO an immense
expense. -.a"4
It Is all well enough In the building
Of new railroads to require overhead
Crossings OF the junction of other
roads, wherever ii is practicable and
not too inoonvenient to have such
crossings, but to require one con-
structed at Water and Market streets,
Is simply too big an undertaking and
too expensive for young railroad
company, supposed not to he very

ment il adhered to, will be great dis
appointment to the friends of the new
railroad company who were resting
well satisfied that the House had
solved the knotty problem, by the
mutual consent OF both parties
concerned, and nothing was
left to complete all the arrangements,
but the concurrence of the Senate.
It has been we'll said that this is c

Mr.. Griffin said that when asked
about the matter, he told the reporter
that he had expected the bill would
have. been acted upon by the commit.

was concerned the interview was not
strictly correct. Still he did not un-
derstand that the bill had been ap.
