 The Montgomery, Hayneville and Camden.
 The question absorbing the attention of Montgomerians just now is the building of the Montgomery, Hayneville and Cam den railroad. President Bloch has re- turned from an inspection of the route with Chief Engineer Milner and north ern capitalist. The gentleman from the north, who is a shrewd and close calcu- lating business man, said he was agree ably disappointed in his observation and inspection of the route. It passes through the most fertile agricultural, stock and grass district in Alabama, and taps a timber region that remains as yet in vir- ginal solitude, said the northern gentle man.
 Indefatigable industry and energy have already succeeded in obtaining a contin- uous right of way from Camden via Hayneville to Montgomery, and already many thousands of dollars have been subscribed to aid in the building of this railroad.

EFFECTS Or ALCOHOL.
Bill for Teaching 1t I'm Schools Bids
Enir to Pass the Senate.

If the action of the Senate on Senator
Newby's bill yesterday is any criterion the
public schools of Indiana will hereafter
teach the deleterious effects OF intoxicants
and narcotics on the human system. The
bill came from the COMMITTEES on temper
ance in a badly mansled condition. The
majority of the committee recommended the
indefinite postponement of the bill and
slender minority recommended its passage.
Senator Newly made a plea for his bill, de-
claring that 1t was not temperance meas
ure but measure in the direction of higher
education. other States, he stated had
adopted this method Of instillng into the
minds OF the youth IDEAS Of morality and
sobriety. and 1t was only a question of time
when all the States would come to it. SEN
ator McCutchan was opposed to the bill,
and thought he saw in 1t scheme the
part of some one to find field for the
Introduction of another textbook. Senators
Mcdonald, Baker. Ellison and Boyd came
to the assistance of the minority report,
while Senator Kern spoke against it. When
the question was put to a vote nearly every
one was on the side Of the bill and the
minority report was adopted by vote of
IS to 6. The bill is brief one. Section l
provides:
.'That the nature of alcoholic drinks and
narcotics and their effects on the human
system in connection with the subjects of
physiology and hygiene shall be included in
