Mr., K. P. Mccormick, Engineer in Chief
and assistants, Messrs. w. D. Hines ard
Augustus Faulk enburg, with number of
others, ARE registered at Hecht's Hotel, land are
engaged in making a survey for a railroad
from Havre de Grace to Delta.
| The route has been surveyed from Delta to
near the mouth of Broad Creek, across the
county in as direct line as possible. The route
from here to Broad Greek has rot definitely
been decided upon, but from this city to Lap
idum it Is thought the route win be along the
BERNIE side rather than on the tow path, be-
cause Of the danger from freshets and the
condition of the tow path, it being washed
entirely away in several places From Lapi-
| dunn 10 Broad Creek it is expected that the
greater portion OF the route will be over the
! tow path, although the BERNIE side will be
used in several places.
Who the parties are behind this work we
| have been unable to learn, hut we have been
| informed that they are New York parties with
| ample capital, and that If the building of the
road is not too expensive it will be bnilt The
road will be between twenty-five ard twenty
five miles In length.
At Delta, connection will he made with the
York Southern Raiirasd; st this end whether
the B. & o. will be Joined, or the Pe1nsy!-
vania, or both, we have not been able to
gather. AT any rate, we should be glad to sec
1t built, as 1t would add to the Importance OF
Havre de Grace, both IS a railroad and bust
ness centre, and bring in its train many ad-
vantages and benefits.

Judge Magoffin did not attend a
single meeting of the committee, offer
ed no suggestions to the committee,
and made no requests of the commit
tee. In masking about five hundred
5000 invitations 60 as far as possible
in place this size, the committee forgot
to send Judge Magoffin an invitation
and he received none except as every
respectable man did, through the re-
peated notices in the Ell Paso Daily
papers.
He had no control over the invita-
tion committee, knew nothing of what
1t was doing, aud no just man will as

the mayor is in any way responsible
for what the committee did. Neither
did Mr.. James Magoffin have anything
to do with the work of the invitation
com mittee except that, at the request
of the committee, he carried invita-
tions to some of the visiting Mexican
officials.

received an invitation to the ball Is

of Invitations and the lack of personal
acq uaintance with all who should be
invited by having the notices repeated
ly published in the news
papers, that any reputable person not
having received an invitation
could get ticket by calling at either
OF the places where they
were on sale or paying for his admit
lance at the door. With this notice
before him. no person with intelligence
enough to read the English language
has any one to blame but himself if he
wanted to attend.the ball and did not do
it.
Now if some one must he blamed for
the work of this committee, blame me
as chairman. 1 do net mind it. Do
not blame another man for what he
couldn't do or couldn't help.

INCREASED COTTON RATE.
Central Not Getting Its Full Proper.
ton Ofthe Crop Causes Raise.

A special from Savannah SAYS: Traf.
nc Manager K. III. Hinton stated today
with reference to the increased freight
rate on cotton from Albany, Dawson
and Americas, from 81 to "a cents, eff
fective November 1st, that it is made
simply because the Central of Georgia
Railway Company has not been getting
its full proportion of the cotton crop
for transportation this season. The
reason for this is the heavy draft on
/ the Georgia and Alabama crop by the
Carolina mills which has caused a d.
vision of the rate with other lines,
cutting the Central out of long hauls.
An Albany shipper made complaint,
stating he had just bought large
amount OF cotton for Carolina based on
the lower rate. His complaint was
considered just by the Central officials
and it was decided then not to put the
increased rate into effect until No
vember 1st. Mr.. Hinton says the mat
ter is not one for the railroad COM
mission, as the increased rate does not
violate any of it's rules.

Brisk. Business in Horse Meat.

Many people in Denmark prefer horse
flesh to beef. In Germany and Austria
business is brisk in horse meat prepare
tons, and is becoming more SO every
year. England is still reluctant about
accepting the new aliment and classes
that kind OF food alongside snalls and
frogs. The first horse butchers in Paris
were only established in 1866; that spec
ial trade is now legally carried on, and is
considerably increasing, as demonstrate
ed by municipal statistics-so much SO
that today over 5000 tons of horsefiesh
are consumed annually in Paris, sold by
sixty licensed horse butchers, who re-
ceive supplies from two special "hippic''
slaughter houses, both outside the city
