TWO HUNDRED MILES AN
HOUR.

There is an electric railroad to
be built between .@eg .crk and
Washington by a company Of East
-ern capitalists, and it is proposed
to run trains with perfect safety at
the rate of 200 miles an hour, the
charter Of Tie company to be for
feited il the spead IS less than 19u
'-,s'as AZ hour. It is to be an ele-
49, t. sfdsf to avoid

all grade crossings and to n,.....
tain the high rate of speed with
out fear of collision. There will
be double tracks and instead Of the
overhead trolley system, a third or
center rail will be laid for the pur-
pose of conducting the electric
current TO high motor car which
will pull the tram. The plans by
which the trains can be run at such
q tremendous rate of speed with
perfect safety have not yet been
made public, but it is claimed that
they will rcvolutionize railroading
in this country, and, in the course
of time. steam trains for the pur-
pose of passenger travel, at least,
will become as obsolete as the old
fashioned stage coach. A bill will
soon be introduced in Congress

The Boss Turtle Caught.

July 3, 1894. i
Editor st. Tammany FARMER:
Here il true fish story from the
Second Ward. Messrs. James Carr
Isle and JEFF. Manton went bob
bling for trout last Friday at Live
Oak Mills, in the celebrated trout
stream. Tehefuncta. Carlisle was
in the bow Of the boat, playing the
bob, when he saw something that
he thought was the head OF an alli-
gator. but he soon discovered that
it was mammoth loeger-head tur-
tie. He Immediately jumped over
board and seized him by the tail,
and called to Manton for help. But
Manton was little slow to respond,
as he says he did not care to have
a fist fight with such . monster OF
the deep. But he finally raised
courage and plunged in, and then
the fun commenced, kicking, biting
and scratching, over and under,
round and round, striking above
and below the belt, regardless OF
the established fighting rules as
drawn up the Marquis Of Queens
bury, and after a spirited struggle
they succeeded in landing him aud
cutting his throat. After bleeding
about gallon, he weighed seventy
nine pounds. Messrs. Carlisle and
Manton being from Mississippi,
near Columbia, accounts for the
bravery displayed in this act. Now
this may seem small to some, but
to US up in the Second Ward it is
something to brag about. The
turtles claws were two inches long.
and his head measured seven inches
across the top.
The weather IS very dry, and
crops Of all kinds are suffering fo1
rain.
Mr.. Kinian Boutwell,, an old ant
highly respected citizen Of the Sec
ond Ward, died at 6 o'clock las
Saturday evening. after a long i'll
ness, aged about fifty years. Hi
funeral took place at five o'clocl
Sunday afternoon, at Bogue Fall
Church, Rev. D. A Boothe officlat
ing. and was attended by a larg
concourse OF sorrowing friends.

A sweet girl graduate, says an
exchange. thus described the man
ner il which . goat butted boy
ont the front yard: 'sHe hurled
the previous end Of this anatomy
against the boys afterward, with an
earnestuess and velocity which,
backed BY the ponderosity Of the

momentum that was not relaxed
until he had landed him on terra
firna beyond the place Of the

The Wilson tariff bill. with the
numerous amendments to it made
in the Senate. passed that body
Tuesday by a majority Of five.
The vote was a surprise Two Of
the Populists Senators voted for it,
two against it. Mr.. Hill voted
against the bill because Of its in
come tax features. The bill, as
passed, was not only antagonistic
to Louisiana, but . gross breach
OF faith, and Mr.. Caffrey en-
phasized his opposition by voting
against the bill, afterward chang
ing his vote. The bill provides
that the sugar bounty shall cease

THE ASSASSIN CONFEsSEs.

A dispatch from Lyons says that
the assassin has al last confessed
the hideous plot Of which Carnot
was the victim. He told the magis-
trate with considerable pride that
he only was the Instrument OF
execution.

by the mob, but promised to meet
his fate with humble courage. The
murdeler's story is strangely con-
iirned by y dispatch frum Mar
settles. 4 soldier named Barrades,
who enlisted there last week, ex-
claimed when the news Of the MUIR
der arrived Monday morning:
''Yes; the assassin is nm Italian

heard the remark aud the man was

magistrate mud told the same story
NOW given by the murderer.
The capture Of six others impli-
Gated in the plot is expected.
The murderer will probably be
prosecuted a"der a law providing
= penalty more ferocious than that
for ordinary murder. An ancient
statute makes the killing of the
hesI OF tue Slate the same act 40

this law passed the Chamber few

The Senate has placed works OF
art, which can only be possessed
by the rich. on the free list. That's
good, for now the poorer classes
can afford to buy and enjoy them
too. Eggs, ham and bacon, the
food OF the poor, are taxed. That's
bad for the poor. but is good for
the raisers Of hogs and chickens.
Wool has been placed on the free
list. That's bad for the sheep
raisers. but good for the poor,
who will be able TO wear better
clothing, and buy it cheaper. The
great tariff question is boomerang,
any way you can fix it.
