THAT ELECTRIC LINE TO LEXINGTON

The visit of the Lexington capitalists,
Messrs. Bennett and Slade, last week
upon a mission OF vital importance to
this community. was the subject of
much comment. That an electric rail
road will be built from Lexington to
this city, is by some knowing ones con-
sidered reasonably certain. In view of
the seriousness of the subjective reprint
the report of civil engineer Totten,
made from notes made along the route
last week:
MR.. TOTTEN'S REPORT.
To Mr.. J. T. Slade and DR.. Ddvid Bennett
GENTLEMEN:-In the matter of the
proposed electric railway from Lexing-
ton to Richmond along the turnpike,
write to say that, in our carriage re-
connoisance" of the route, saw nc
special difficulties of construction, from
an engineers point of view.
The road would require very light
work in grading and masonry for % Of
the "a miles proposed; the three miles
including the crossing of the Kentucky
river would require more work, but al
no great cost except as to the bridge al
the river.
The route from Lexington following
the turnpike is remarkably straight fol
fourteen miles to the river hills with
but few curves and gently undulating
grade, a few only of the grades being al
much as five feet in one hundred.
The drainage to be provided for is
very small ard the item of masonry il
the estimate will not amount to much
South of the river the same features
obtain, except that the hills approx
mate more generally the maximum gra
dent of per cent.
The route at the river crossing will re
quire careful study, as there is a choice
of routes both north and south of the
bridge. l think, however, that a gooC
line can be had, with no grade to exceed
the per cent maximum that is neces
sary to the rest of the line.
The old bridge can be purchased anC
strengthened to suit the new require
ments, or a new bridge can be erected
but, considering the cracked condition
of the north abutment of the presen
bridge, 1 should rather favor a new
structure.
TO operate the road, three sources o
power will be required, one at Licking
ton, one at the river, and one in Rich
mond. Those at the termini can b
combined with the already existin
plants, or power can be purchased. Tn
plant at the river, where water can b
had in abundance and compound con
densing engines can be used, will b
more economical to operate than tn
others, and should supply the create
part of the required power.
1t is possible also that, dependent OF
the future location Of the lock in th
river, the Kentucky river may suppl.
a part of the necessary power at no dis
tant time.
The % miles eff proposed line alonI
the turnpike passes through thickl
settled farming district, with hne man
sions within sight at frequent interval:
1t passes also no less than five post
offices, each with its little villag
around it, nucleus for future growth
The country traversed is as fine as an
in the Blue Grass Region and that, a
every one knows. is the FINEST in tn
world"
1 see no reason why the proposed roa
will not be profitable investment 70
capitalists, at the same time being 9th
greatest benefit to those interests
along the line.
Very Respectfully.

THE outcome of the deadlock of the

nomination of an outsider, Mr.. Charles

THE Iowa Supreme Court has
knocked ont the most ingenious plan of
evading the liquor laws ever devised,
the only one by which liquor could be
sold in towns having no saloon petitions.
NJ. Snyder, President of the First Ma
tional Bank of Grinnell, had liquors
shipped to that town in packages.
Bills Of lading in names of fictitious per-
sons and sight drafts accompanied ship
ments. Snyder would sell bill of la
ding to any person who would pay the
draft. The buyer could go to the depot
and get the liquor. Snyder was indicted
for maintaining liquor nuisance and
fined. On appeal the Supreme Court
held he was guilty; that though he did
not own either the liquors or build
ing which contained them, he never
the less maintained the nuisance. This
method of getting liquors into dry towns
has been employd extensively and was
believed to circumvent the law.

(Spec,al to OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Richmond. Va, March 22.-The State
Board Of Fisheries held It's regular
monthly meeting here to-day, all five of
the members being present. The board
met in the Office OF the Register of the
Land Office.
Captain Thomas b. Smith, of North
ampton county. warden of the East
ern Shore Game Association, appeared
before the board and asked that the
police boat be sent to protect the large
oyster industry on the ocean side of
Northampton against pirates from
Maryland and New Jersey. He stated
that every year these men carry off
large quantities of seed oysters for
planting in the beds of the States
named. He read q letter from Captain
George d. Kitchens, keeper of Smith
Island Lighthouse, saying that boats
from Maryland were now Illegally TAX
ing oysters from the waters between
the island and the mainland of North
ampton. AT places the island is twelve
miles distant from the shore. The
board will probably order the police
boat to be sent to these waters, rs the
oyster planting industry on the seaside
of Northampton is fast assuming great
proportions. At the first of last Sep
TENDER only 500 acres were planted and
now there are 1000 acres.
The session was consumed chiefly in
considering routine matters not of gem
eral interest. The members express the
utmost satisfaction at the working of
the law creating the board. y few
amendments are needed and Will be re-
commended to the next Legislature.
The members think the State will re-
ceve at least $4,000 net from her oys-
ter beds this year, as against IL deficit
of $4,000 last year.
