CHICAGO, Dec. IA new train is to be
put on by the Chicago & Eastern Illinois
road. which will eclipse all previous serv-
ice. A meeting Of the Chicago & Eastern

noon. and to-day 1t was definitely decided
to put into service on and after Dec. Is a
new fast train, which will negotiate the 444
miles between Chicago and Nashville in
twelve hours and thirty minutes, or in just
one hour and thirty-eight minutes less than
has ever before been made. Leaving Dear
born Station al $50 p. m. daily, this train
will arrive in Nashville at $3.50 o'clock the
following morning. Heretofore all the mail
for points south of the Ohio river that il
was possible to forward has been carried
by the c. & z. rs fast train, which left
Chicago at 5:02 p. m. The advantage OF this
later departure is apparent: 1t means that

delivered in Nashville the following morn
ing, reach Chattanooga early in the after
noon and Atlanta in the evening of the
same day. The government officials have
arranged to have all Southern mail for

was crisp and invigorating. The troops of
the Fourth and Fifth Regiments, naval re-
serves. etc, formed into line at 1870 o'clock
and marched to the grounds, escorted by
the Gate City Guards. On arriving at the
exposition they were reviewed by Governor
Brown and staff from the music stand OPP
posite the Pennsylvania Building. The
days Exercises at the auditorium began at
noon. Rev. II. l.. Murkleland delivered the
Maryland day grafton Governor Brown

of Maryland and Georgia are one. he said.

SILVER QUESTION ABR DAD.
W. 4. Clark Thinks silver Will be n
Sure winner in 1896.


w. A. Clark has returned to Butte
after a five months s~ojourn in Europe.
To a Miner reporter he introduces his
impressions of the silver question, say
ing:
"The progress being made by the sill
yer cause is wonderful and the people
of Montana and of all the silver pro-
ducing states have reason to be hope
full. No matter where you go you find
the people awakening to the need of BIZ
metallism. The sentiment in favor of
silver is very strong in all parts OF
Europe. The masses in nearly all of
the European countries r enthusi-
astic supporters of the silver cause,
and were 1t not for the great power en-
ercised by the banking centers and
their representatives in public life, all
of the old world would to-day return to
the double standard. In this country,
where we must make the fight indie
pendent of all other powers, the gold
monometallists are being driven into a
corner and they know it. As a result
they are preparing for a desperate
fight and will leave nothing undone
that may advance their unholy cause.
Already they are whipping the eastern
newspapers into line and the result of
their organization is visible in the un-
precedented activity of silver's foes in
the east. Notwithstanding the great
power of the influences which they
command, I am confident that they
will be defeated and that silver will be
victorious in '96."

1t is estimated by an ex-official of
the Parrot company the cost of the
new works at Gaylord will approximate
over a million of dollars. The contract
for grading the N. p. spur of the rail-
road was lei last Saturday. also the
bridge across the jefferson river. The
piling, however, to the approaches of
the bridge will not be attempted until
the river shall have fallen to the low
water mark. A rope ferry will be
constructed at once for transportation
pending the bridge erection No dam
is found necessary: where the big ditch
will tap the river a natural depress-
ion lower than the river bed will be
utilized in diverting the water, and at
which point requisite head-gates and
fumes will be constructed. The verti-
cal fall at the point of delivery is estl-
mated over 80 feet. An excellent quail
ity of clay is found in large deposits on
the %company's grounds and the manu-

After ten days of this treatment and
