A GULF LINE.
Knnsas CITY Journal. .

+. S. Hammond, the general mana
ger of the Kansas City, Watkins and
Gulf road, was IN the city yesterday.
Mr.. Hammond represents one OF the
lines whose ultimate aim very properly
is to reach Kansas City, and when
this object is accomplished the me-
tropolis of the Southwest will have
another trunk line to the Gulf and an
other direct outlet for export products.
The road is at present in operation
from Lake City, La, forty miles from
the Cult, TO Alexandria, La, a dis
lance of 100 miles to the northward OF
Lake City. Extensions are being
made from both terminals, to the
north and south respectively. Mr..
Hammond believes that the road will
build at the rate of $50 miles per year
until it reaches Kansas City, and this
means that the completion of the road
will be made within three or four
wears. 1t will touch Fort Smith and
Joplin and will have a branch to
Shreveport. 1t passes through o
country particularly rich in sugar and
lumber. Mr.. Hammond has had the
mana cement OF the road only since
last summer. A Kansas City railroad
man said yesterday that since he has
assumed control of the line 1t has
been brought from losing business
10 handsome and steady net earning,
which condition is regarded as sur
prisingly good for so new line. The
principal stakeholder is j. W. Watkins
of Lawrence, Kansas, who will have
the Gulf terminus Of the road named
Watkins.

The Short HOLSTERS.

Warden Thompson of Newcastle has
been here assisting Warden Cushman in
scheme to catch parties who theWarden
believed were shipping short Holsters
from Portland to Boston. They be-
lieved that employees of the Boston &
Maine, against the knowledge of officers
of the road, were in collision with
fishermen, and when the wardens were
at the Portland Steam Packet Company
or New York Steamship Company, these
parties would rush barrels of short lob
ster aboard car. The wardens got on to
the scheme by means of strong field
glasses, saw fishermen, they say, put six
barrels of short Holsters aboard the
wharf at Boston & Maine wharf, and
they caught them but the fishermen
escaped in their boat. The six barrels
contained 6S5 barrels of short Holsters
with spawn.

NEARLY LOST THEIR LIVES.
The Railroad Commissioners Precipitated
Over an Embankment.

Last Wednesday afternoon Colonel
Wildes, D. N. Mortland, Hugh j. CHS
holm and Chief Engineer Danforth start
ed to drive in a covered carriage from
Mechanic Falls to Auburn, Messrs.
Wildes and Mortland taking the back
seat. 1t was a very cold day and all the
gentlemen were bundled up.
The carriage was descending a hill
covered with ice about mile and a half
south of Lewiston junction. The car
riage began Slowing, presently striking
frozen piece of ground and overturning.
The commissioners and Messrs. Dan
forth and Chisholm were tumbled out in
hurry, rolling over one another down
the embankment The horse fell and
went down the embankment with them,
dragging the carriage after him. When
the commissioners landed Mr.. Mortland
was on top of Colonel Wildes and the
relative position was the same when the
team stopped. Colonel Wlldes shouted
to Engineer Danforth to get to the
horses head and hold it down. He
knew very well that runaway would
mean bad accident, for some of the
party were under the carriage. Mr..
Danforth freed himself from the robes,
in which he had become entangled, and
sprang upon the horses head and sue
ceeded in holding the animal down till
the other three members of the party
crawled out from the wreck. Very. fort
unately no one was hurt.
1t wasa miraculous escape. The aoci-
dent was fastened by the breaking Of a
wheel at the critical point. The party
procured another carriage and finished
the rest of the days inspection of rail-
road crossings.
