morning received very sad news from
his father, who reside on the bank of
the racing Brazos river at Richmond,

Mr.. Eckman has res ided in this homo

his son, he says that it may be the slast
time he may have the pleasure of writ
ing from his old home, as the water was
crowding him and he feared it would
detroy his ranch and home.

daily for the summer resorts of Tennes-
see and Virginia, and for Washington,
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York, will take on Cafe Dining Car at
Alfalfa, Ala, and carry it to Radford,
Va, serving meals a Ia carte.
This car returning will be attached
at Radford and run to Alfalfa.
The hours are very favorable, and
the service will be first class in every
particular.
The route of the car via Chatta.
nooga and through the Cum berland
and Blude Ridge Mountain region en-.
ables the traveller to view some of the
most beautiful scenery in the country
while enjoying his meals.
The q Ia carte plan of dining cal
enables the passenger to almost pro-
cure any sort of meal that suits hi:
fancy, from q cup of coffee and a roll tc
an elaborate spread, paying only fol
what he orders.
This feature of the Queen & Cres-
cent service will, no doubt, be fully ap
precisted by the travelling public, and
that it will receive very liberal patron
age cannot be doubted.
The through trains of the V. S. s. p.
and A. & V. r. r. from Shreveport

THEY HAVE TROUBLES.
Passenger Brakemen Imposed Up
on-.Favors Asked of Them All
Along the Line.-Injuring the
Express COMPANIES.

Some plaipts made in the various
depaItnents of d railroad company are
very Interesting and we'll worth listen
ing to.
The HERALD scribe approached 3
passenger brakeman yesterday while
he was in great heat of Indignation
over the burden of load placed upon
him by d friend along the line. 1t
seems as if they are approached at
points along the line by friends who
request them to deliver this and that to
other friends at other points and, I'M
der the law of courtesy, they are com
PEELED to do as requested. The re-
porter met the brakeman in mode
Yesterday 70 get q statement out OF. him
and it is as follows:
I'm no crank On the contrary I
hate a crank. 1 would carry bushel
OF petatoes on my back 10 miles to get
smile from my mother-in-law and q
man Who will do this can be imposed
upon to an almost unlimited extent.
But there is limit to all things and the
imposisiOns heaped upon me In this
business would turn red brick green
with anger"
After taking a long breath and
grinding his teeth moment he con-
tinued:
IF our friends keep imposing on us
Is they have been the express COM
panies will have to 60 out of business.
It's this one carry this thing and that
one carry that thing and all the things
90 to different points and 1t requires
constant attention to get each OF the
things off at the proper point. Ii we
miss one point We are required to keep
that in view and, when we pass the
brakeman coming in the opposite d.
recsion, ask him 10 kindly leave 1t at a
certain point.
"Should he forget it then the blame
falls US me and weare severely criticised
for my negligence. Not long since L
met a frieno at certain depot. He
was standing in the center OF six big
watermelons. He called and asked II
it would inconvenience me to take
them to.a friend down the line 20 miles
dis ant. Before 1 had time to answer
him he says for me to cali the agent
at tha, poiut and tell him to get bag
gage wagonand have the mealous taken
TO a certain grocery store and the
grocer would tell him where to
deliver them.
81 told him that such thing would
be impossible and, actually, he looked
at me as if he thought had been tell
ing him lie.
This is only one instance, but |
could enumerate hundred others, and
if they don't let up [ am going to quit
rsilroading and go out and live with
nv mother-in-law."
