AR.ve.ntion in Southern RuilroadiDg.

The quickest long distance run ever
made by any Southern railroad has just
been performed by the New Florida Short
Line, composed of the Florida Central
and Peninsular railroad. the Richmond
and Danviiie railroad between Jack
sonville Fla, and Washington. in con-
junction with the Pennsylvania Road for
New York. Since the inauguration of
this new Florida Short Line marked ac-
tivity IN the improvement of all sched-
ules and train service has been evinced
by both lines, the Richmond and Dan
vile, and the Atlantic Coast Lane
The Richmond and Danville possesses
the advantage OF about thirty-five miles
the shorter line. and hence the Atlantic
Coast Line has been on the alert 90 pro-
tect its revenues from being absorbed by
its new competitor.
There are about one thousand hotel
help transported each season by rail be-
tween Florida and New York. This sea
son special trains have been run by each
of these two lines for this business.
Yesterday being the last train each
line put forth its best effort, the result
showing great victory for the Rich
mond and Danyille, which made the un-
precedented run between Jacksonville and
Washington in little over eighteen hours,
and New York In twenty-four hours.
Both trains carried q large number Of ex-
cursionists. There were 2iS passengers on
the Richmond and Danvlle. and lbs pas
sengers on the Coast Line. The Rich
mond and Danyille. on account OF being
much shorter. gave the Coast Line
thirty-fivc minutes start. and reached
Washington one hour and twenty min.
utes ahead Of them.
The Richmond and Danville railroad
now enjoys the privilege Of carrying the
Southern fast mail. which formerly went

assistant surgeon in the battle Of Cullo-

Charles Edward 20 the English throne.
Being among the refugees after that
battle so finally disastrous 10 the stuart
pretension, he came 10 America. After
tarrying a few months IN Philadelphia, he
came 10 Fredericksburg in l7i7. and estab-
lshed himself as the leading physician
in that entire section. Washington was
then fifteen years old, and divided hts

Fredericksburg. and the home OF his
brother Lawrence at Mount Vernon. He

THE CITY DADS.
Meet in Regular Session Monday
Night and Transact Routine
Business.

Council met Monday night with
Mayor Barry in the chair and no men,
bers absent.
The first business was the considera-
ton of the Marshal's bond. The inves-
tigation had proved satisfactory and the
bond was accepted.
The Ordinance Committee were en-
powered to employ a competent lawyer
to draft a new set OF ordinances in con-
Torrance with the general statutes.
A discussion arose over allowing bills.
About a dozen of these troublesome
statements were presented and some OF
the councilmen were in favor OF culling
them, granting some and letting the
others lay over. This met Mr.. Pierce's
objection. He said that he was in favor
of granting all just claimsso long as they
kept within charter bounds. 1t showed
a disposition to pay whether there was
any money in the treasury or not, and
the holder OF the orders would have a
chance to raise money on them. If bills
we're not to be allowed, Mr.. Pierce was
in favor OF not making any. The bills
were finally allowed, amounting in all to
$500. Then the rule was made that no
more bills be incurred until there was
some available fund in sight.

IT becomes the duty of the Democrats
in Breckenridge, this year, to make wise
and judicous selections among the can
didates for the county Offices. Next
Monday the Republicans will put out
straight ticket at Hardinsburg and with
them, and them alone, the fight is to be
made. We should not be too hasty nor
over confident as to the situation. 1t is
a matter that addresses itself to our SER
ions discretion. We do not wish TO
make any mistakes Just now break
or two along the line might prove disas-
trious. Hence we should act prudently,
but at the same time in way that will
command respect and maintain cur rep
utation for doing things as they ought to
be done. Let no man get oil his balance.
If il is to be an early primary, and such
is the will Of the people, let it be so and

The Kentucky Legislature has passed
a resolution, calling upon our Senators
at Washington not to vote for the con-
firmation of any man as a member of the
Supreme Court Bench who cannot estab-
lish his devotion to the Democratic party
and its principles. This is all very well
as politics goes generally, but the MEM
bers of the Kentucky Legislature have
so many other things demanding their
attention and which are to the interest
of the state, that they should not be
wasting time resoluting. Tie session is
now more than half over, and but three
bills, it is said, have passed both houses
and been presented to the Governor for
his signature. Truly they should get to
business before the law compells them
to quit and go home.

be shaped up. 1t doesn't cover all that
the Democrats demand, but it is a step
in the right direction. The Democrats
as a party have pledged themselves to
reform the tariff and they must make
good the promise.
