The "Thres cs" Railroad Outlook.

The Philadelphia Times states that
the "Thrce Cs Railroad" the securi-
ties of which are largely held in Phil
adelphia, els now on a Celf.supporting
basis. During the past six months the
North and South Carolina divisions
have not only earned operating ex-
penses, but something in addition, rs
against II deficit for the corresponding
period of last year. The Tennessee
and Kentucky divisions are also said
to have made good showing. The
business of the road as whole is
steadily improving and will continue
to increase, as number of new in
dustricr, including an ore-reductiou
plant and phosphate works at Blacks
burg, cotton mill at Camden and other
enterprises, are being established. +"
The Times says that cor lcte mt judges
declare that the seairo 'ine is at least
in condition where any new money
expended in the way of construction
or extension will not only easily earn
Its interest, but will also produce suffi-
cient additional reveuue to cover in
part interest on money already in
vested. II is estimated that 81, 500,
900 new money would complete the
road as projected, including extensions
into territory rich in traffic. An an
nouncement in this connection will be,
1t is understood, soon made"
If this road can succeed in sustaining
itself during the present times and un-
der the present circumstances, this fact
ought to be accepted as proof of the
great possibilities of the line. Few
people understanding railroad matters
have ever imagined that this road could
pay its expenses in the shape in which
1T now is, whereas if completed as
originally projected across the noun E
tsins and made n complete line itcould
open up one of the most remarkable
mineral and timber regions of America
With the extension across the noun
tains made and revival of trade
throughout the country there would be
no lack of business for the Three Cs
Railroads..

FAMILIES BURIED ALIVE.
An ARfW Canadian Disaster on the Riye-
ST Anne

QUEBEC, CANADA. "A bout $50
O'Clock Friday night the inhabitants
of the village of st. Alban, situated
some 80 miles from here in Port Neuf
county, heard n terrible noise, resem.
bling the roll of thunder, in the dis.
tance. The soil commencing TO vibrate,
,panic ensued. Farmers ran out of
their dwellings to avoid being burned
ander the ruins as they believed the
ground was going to give way beneath
them.
At the upper end OF the village, some
three miles from the parish church is
curve formed by the river ST. Anne
md close to the curve is water fall
100 feet high. The ground forming
the right hand side Of the fall gave way,
5urying the pulp wood mill, which
vas situated right underneath and
blocking the course of the stream.
The stream which was very rapid on
account of the melting snow over the
mountains and adjacent valley. spread
over the adjoining farms and caused
the undermined cmbankment to slide
into the river, filling it up.
Several houses along the river bank
were carried into the river. One OF
them was occupied by n family named
iauthier, numbering four persons, all
of whom perished. Smoke was seen
to ascend from under the ruins show.
ing what an awful death the occupants
must have met. The ground which
slid into the river measured about six
square miles. Whole farms have been
destroyed and their stocks and farm
produce.
The old bed Of the st. Anne river is
now levelled and the river runs miles
from where 1T coursed before. Three
bridges were carried, namely the St
Alban, st. Cosimer bridge, and the st
Anne bridge. People in the neigh.
borhood of the scene of the disaster
are terror stricken.
