Trainmaster Lindley. is a deeply afflicted
one. Mr.. Sine formerly lived here and
lately moved 10 Louisville. About

disease occurred in his family yesterday
and was brought here and buried beside
the other child Friday night. The trans
portation of cOrpses afflicted with con-
tageous diseases by railroads is strictly
forbidden by the state board of health.

reported the railroad company for fragrant
violation Of the health laws TO the state
board, which has since notified MIN that
the case will be thoroughly investigated.

other corpse was brought here Friday
night. DR.. Mccoy accompanied Unde-
rtaker Davidson to the yards where the
train was stopped and the special car in
which the dead child was carried was cut
of and fumigated as soon as the child
was buried, and all means were taken TO
protect the city.-COlumbus Herald.
A project that will require the expen-
diture of an immense amount of CAPT
tai. but that will result most advanta-
geously in the building up of New AL
bany and its interests, is being discussed
by some Of our prominent and enterpris-
ing citizens. The project embraces the
construction Of an electric railway
around Silver Hills, extending from a
point that will connect with the present
system Of the Highland railroad and
continue To- the Bald Knob. The scheme
is perfectly practicable and would prove
of great benefit to the city. The hills
bounding New Albany on the west and
north are equaled for health and beauty
by few localities i'm the United States.
and the views they afford are magnif-
cent beyond description. II seems that

Thursday evening, and as a result OF
their trip they will bring the
subject before the next meeting of the
club for its consideration. and it is hoped
that the directors will take steps at
once TO promote the project.-New Al

come five blasts from the electric light
works sounded for the assembling Of
company 1 and the boys fastened at
once TO headquarters and in a few min
utes appeared in their uniforms ready
for business. Capt Lamb had received
a telegram notifying company l to re-
port at Hammond at once. He told the
boys to be ready 10 start at l o'clock.
on the morning train company G of Cow
ingtOn. under Capt Earl McCampbell,
formerly Of this city. came over to join
company l on the way TO Hammond.
The greatest excitement prevailed as
nothing was knows as To why the COM
pany had been called out Ii was ru-
mored that there was rioting at Ham
mond and also that the boys were sim
ply TO relieve other companies that had
been on duty for some time. The latter
theory was the more acceptable to the
boys and fond parents and all who were
growing alarmed over the appearance Of
a.. q
streets, with both companies in bright
uniforms waiting the hour of departure.

Holloway, charged with derailing the
train at Fontanet, is young man about
twenty-five years of age. He is tall and
brawny, with a countenance and an eye
which suggests desperation. He was
raised in the vicinity of Fontanet and is
the son Of DR.. Holloway who was once
practicing physician of that place.
Since the death of his father, which &C.

Gates that his associates are among the
rowdy element. Like all boys he rOamed
the streets OF cities, he loafed about the
railroad yards, where he early learned
the signals and became imbued with a
desire TO become a railroader. He spent
all his time about the railroad and after
reaching manhood was employed for
time as a switChman. He quit this two
years ago and has since been doing just
what he could get to do. loahng the
