WITH THE RAILROADS.

The holidays are now at hand and the railroads, as usual, are making prepara- tions to accom immediate the immense travel that comes with them. Just before Christi mas people who are away from home return to spend Christmas week and New Y ear's and many go to spend these days of merriment with relatives and friends who are some distance away. Then there are people who come to town to do trading, and all in all travel increases materially. This the rail- roads take advantage of and in order Ito increase it still more they make what is known as "holiday excursion rates, '' which are nothing more than a reduced rate for round trips. This year the roads centering in Birmingham will make hard , drives to secure all the patronage possible and with this in view they are doing deal of advertising. a.
 Already the Southern, Queen and Cres-, cent and Louisville and Nashville are cut with flyers announcing tue fac: Shat tneir agents will sell excnrecu tickets on Decem- Der P, 23: 24, 25 go, 30, 31 and Jan- uary from all stations on their lines to points within radius of 300 miles at rate of cents per mile travelled. These tickets will be good to return from date of sale to January 3, 1895.
 The crowds at the union passenger sta- tion are swelling daily, and will be much larger during the next two weeks.
 IAE bESSEMER AND BIRMINGHAM.
 Not only are the larger roads preparing for the holidays, but Superintendent B. McClary has his eyes open and will not let the opportunity slip Tor the old reliable Bessemer and Birmingham to accommodate the immense travel it will have. On this popular line he will run extra coaches for the sole accommodation of the people of Bessemer who want to come to Birming. ham to do their trading. These extra coaches will be kept on all trains until after New Year's. The same will also be done on the Ensley and East Lake divisions of the Birmingham Railway and Electric com. pany'e lines.
 NEW ELECTRIC HEADLIGHTS.
 The Queen and Crescent is ahead of all the roads in the south when it comes to the question of headlights. All of the passen- ger engines of this system are being equipped with electric headlights, which are many times stronger than the ones formerly used and those used by other roads. They enable an engineer to see an obstacle almost as far at night as he could in the day time, and they are wonderful advantage.
 PERSONAL AND GENERAL.
 Mir. L. A. Bell, division passenger egent of the Southern, with Headquarters at Selma, is in the city.

HUNTING MALLARDS..
President Cleveland Now at George town, s. O., With Party Bent on Bringing Down Swift
 Flyers.

GEoRGETowE, s. 0. Dec. 17.-Presideht Cleveland and party arrived here at 6:l5 o'clock this morning in the private car Wildwood. Owing to the unreasonable @ hour at which they came very few people were at the depot. It was rumored on Sat urday night that the president was com ing, but up to that time, and even yester- day, it was denied by those who had charge of the plans. The presidents car was attached to the regular train leaving Washington at 3:S0 o'clock yesterday, and arrived at Lanes, on the N. E. railroad, at 4:2O o clock this morning, in charge of superintendent Royal. General Manager Brightmau of the Georgetown and Western road was on hand with special, and soon the presidents car was attached and the run to this city was quickly made.
 None of the party was up when they ar- rived. Al 6:30 o'clock they awoke and as soon as their toilets were com mpleted they em parked on board the lighthouse tender Wistaria, under charge of Lieut.. M. R. s. Mackenzie, who is a personal friend of Captain Evans, and she steamed down the river with colors flying to the gentle breeze. President Cleveland, Jefferson were grouped upon the upper deck as the steamer passed out of the har- Dor, evidently enjoying the balmy air of the early morning. The president is look luS eAceeuingly well ana only SnOW6Q a little lameness from rheumatism as he walked from the car to the steamer.
 It now transpires that preparations bad been quietly going on for a month for the presidents outing, and he was induced to come at the request of Captain Evans, who spent several days here last winter shoot ing ducks. He was so attracted by the un- surpassed sport to be derived from these hunting groundsthat he expressed the de- sire to bring the president here, and to the extreme delight Of the people of this city he has carried his wishes into execution.
 The English mallards, the choicest of the feathered tribe, flock here in great D numbers to feed upon the rice by day and roost in the marshes at night. The weather has been very warm and calm for several days, which is not conducive to good shooting, and every one prays for a good strong northeasterly> wind, which will give the president chance to enjoy his favorite sport.
 Georgetown is stirred up and awakened into new life by the fact of the president being here, and they will shake his hand before he leaves. It is impossible to learn of the president's s first day s success at duck shooting in the Palmetto State.

THE IRON MARKET.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 15.-The conditions of the past week have been practically con- tinuation of those existing during the pre- ceding one. There have been few in- quiries for round lots, deliveries scattered throughout the first half of next year, but as general thing buyers say they will not place any contracts until after the 1st of January. Prices remain without quotable change, but there is weaker tendency. A number of furnaces are making special prices for immediate shipment.
 The inquiries for cars have resulted in more interest in the iron market on the part of a number of car wheel makers. There has not been much done. but if the contracts now talked of are placed for cars, it will result in decided increase in the demand for charcoal car wheel iron.
 There is more pressure to sell northern brands of iron made from Lake Super for ores, and stocks are accommodating to some extent.
 The financial condition remains un- changed. Most of the settlements are now In cash, and buyers who were in the habit of giving notes when doing large busi- ness are now able to get along without credit.
 We quote for cash f. o. b. cars Cincin- nati:

sung. A Parisian shoe is really thing of beauty, full of conscious curves and pliant folds that take the impress of foot and make it look like human feature and not like block of wood. The sole, being bent back to outline the heel, re- duces the size of the foot, besides making a curve where an angle would otherwise be. Most women who value the beauty of feet wear the Louis XIV heel on their indoor shoes but it Is not considered good form for street boots to be cut after this pat tern. There is of course no earthly reason why we should wear ugly boots out of doors any more than in the privacy of our homes, but such is the unwritten median law. It must be admitted that there is a tendency to adopt tho solidity and weight so conspicuous in English shoes. Fortu- nately American makers manage to achieve at the same timo trimness and style unknown to their models.
 With regard to toes, we get every year more addicted to points. The revival of early Victorian fashions increased the length of the shoe from toe to instep, Q natural result of the excessive point at the extremity of the sole. The great difficulty in boots is that they are apt to decrease the width of the sole as they taper tho toe, giving that narrow appearance to the foot which is so ugly as we'll as uncomfortable. The sole of the ideal boot is heart shaped, inolining slightly upward toward the toe. The heel Is of the Louis XV shape, but not too high, and the leather is as supple as silk. That was the boot which the poet took for theme.
 But to return to fashions. For winter street wear there is laced glace kid boot, with patent leather vamp and wide welts, whose smartness needs only to be seen to be appreciated. Those whose feet are too leather will be able to find an equally graceful boot entirely composed of glace kid, either with or without the Louis XV heel.
 Russet boots seem likely to become a permanent fashion, and unless your feet are glgantesque they are becoming ad junct to tailor made toilet, but if they are not beautifully cut and finished thore is common look about them. The color, too, varies good deal. The darkest shades of Russia leather generally secure approval as well as q soft tan shade called nut brown.'' Brown boots should always be laced. Buttons do not seem suitable to the style.
 House shoes and slippers appear in glazo kid suede, velvet or satin, tho latter in all tho new shades to match gowns, and many novelties are introduced in the way of straps, buckles, headings, etc.
 The glove, with which woman makes or mars her costume, possesses some ele- ments of novelty, the latest from Paris be-

MORE sTARTLING EVIDENCE.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Dec. 7.-The later development in the Cling murder case authorities to believe that Harry Hayward is the western agent of "green goods ombination whose headquarters are in New York, with principle branch at Chicago. The first clue to this was given by one of the members of the gang, whose conscience was quieted by the murder of Cling. The day after the mur- der Juda Cling, the twin sister of Kittie, who resides at Auburn, N. Y., re- ceived an anonymous letter from New York stating that her sister had been murdered and that she had better have the matter in- vestigated. The police took up the clue of the letter and followed it up aud discovered the writer was a member of green goods gang which has been operating extensively of late which with additional facts the off cers discovered have been kept secret. Blixt, the actual murderer of Miss Cling, today pleaded not guilty in his arraign- ment.

Here is a very simple formula for a powder recommended by NJ. Naguet of Chatellerault to stop attacks of asthma, and which acts in tho same way as CO., logne water:
 Powdered snuff, grams; camphor, 5 grams; menthol, .15 centigfams
 When the first symptoms are felt giving warning that an attack is coming on, it is enough if you sniff into each nostril a pinch or two of this powder every quarter or half hour to set up lively irritation of the mucous membrane with sneezing and copious secretion, while at the same time the attack of asthma stops.

 TELEGRAPH COMPANY CASE.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. H.-The appeal ol the Postal Telegraph company from the judgment of the United States circuit court for the Middle district of Alabama in favor of the state of Alabama for S3846, tax on lines of the company in that state, was the subject of an opinion from the supreme court, which was delivered by MT. Justice Gray today. The case was originally in- stituted in the state courts and trans- ferred to the United States court upon the application of the telegraph com pany as being a suit between citizens. Justice Gray said suit by state against foreign corporation was different from suit between citizens of different states, in that state was not a citizen. The case was, in the opnioniofsthe supreme court, therefore improperly removed from the state court, and the judgment of the court was reversed, with instructions to remand the case to the state court.
