Cincinnati, June 1S.-A special from
Louisville, KY, says that Hardin seems
to be in the lead in the gubernatorial
fight, but Clay Is such close second that
the result is in doubt. Hardn's friends
are claiming 400 votes for him on the first
ballot, while others concede him a little
less than 300. II takes AL votes TO nomi-
nate. Many Of the big counties Of the
state are for Clay, and one of these will
offset several smaller ones that may be
against him. Afford is practically out of
the race. On the currency question, 1t
looks as though the gold people may win,
as they have, up to this time, a pretty
fair majority over the silver advocates.
There are enough uninstructed counties
and counties not yet heard from, however,
to throw the convention either way. The
Enquirer figures out the result as follows:
Votes in the convention, SO; necessary
to a choice, AL number heard from, 627;
instructed for Gov. Hardin, 273; Clay, 24l {;
uninstructed, 1l3.
Instructed on the currency-For single
gold standard, 2il; for free coinage Of sill

mained here a short time and afterward
joined Burke They have remained in
Honduras ever since. There are two in
dictments against Cockerton and twelve

developments. He will be defended by
the well known lawyer Lionel Adams

Baltimore, Md. June 18.-The Manufac-
turers' Record says: "The revival Of busl-
ness throughout the country and the rap
i'd industrial development OF the south
have caused the recent planning OF an
unusually large number of short lines in
that section, principally for carrying The
products Of textile, mining and lumber
from the regions to market A summary
made up from reports received since
April / shows that eighty-eight miles OF
these roads are projected or under con-
struction in Florida, fifteen miles In Geor-
gia, seventy-three miles in Louisiana, ff-
ty-fye miles IN Virginia, 1902 miles in Te&-
as twenty miles IN Tennessee, nineteen
miles in South Carolina, about l4O miles
in North Carolina and ffty-eight miles IN
Alabama. There are at present nearly 500
miles of railway projects OF this kind in
the south to-day, backed by responsible
parties.
"A number of these short lines In AL
ALBANIA are TO connect cotton mills with
railroad systems, but there are many
projects for side tracks and short lines
to coal and iron plants. The railroads
in North Carolina are to be constructed
principally to give the timber workers In
that state an opportunity to put their
products on the market, while in Louis
lana, most of the roads are being con-
structed to meet the demands caused by
the rapid settlement OF the agricultural
district of the state, especially in the
Crowley region, where rice growing is
becoming a great industry. Some 1000 or
5000 western people have located in that
section within the last few years, and
most of them are engaged in rice culture,
just as wheat is grown in the west.
In Florida several short lines are TO
open up phosphate lands and to reach
shipping points by shorter lines"
