QUEEN EN- ROUTE FOR IRELAND
Extraordinary Precautions to Guard
the safety of the British Ma
tons Beloved Ruler.

London, April 3, i2;10 a. m.-Queen
Victoria left Windsor at half-past nine
last evening. IN route for Ireland. Her
majesty is accompanied by Princess
Christian and Princess Henry of Bat
tenberg, and is attended by the
countess of Antrim, Hon. Harriet
Phipps, Sir Arthur Biggs, private sec
rotary to the queen, Sir Fleetwood Ed
wards, keeper of her majestys priyy
purse. and Capt. Ponsonby.
The queen had driven out TO Frog
more during the afternoon amid con-
siderable enthusiasm en- the part of the
townspeople. and her departure from
the station was comparatively quiet,
although quite a crowd had assembled
to cheer the outgoing train.
Not in the history of tie Great West
ern and London q Northwestern rail-
ways, have greater precautions ever
been observed to protect the royal
train than these which had been per-
fected when her majesty started north
ward last night. These officials, wilt"
have superintended the transportation
of cars. kaisers and the princes of all
nations in aud out of Windsor, have
exerted themselves beyond precedent
TO insure the safety eff the royal train
between Windsor and Holy Head.
a
but the queen, who is especially ad-
verse TO fast travel, stipulated that the
trip should occupy II hours, although
il is usually covered in six. This slow
ness, at time when traffic is lightest,
was one of the reasons for deciding
upon a night run.
The preparations for the trip had
been in hand for weeks, and the train
had already run every foot of the route,
and every particle of the apparatus OF
the train and the track had been sub
iected to the most careful inspection.
Leaving Windsor, the royal train was
in the hands of the Great Western Co. S
officials to Bushberry, where the Lon
don 4 Northwestern Co.'S officials as
sumed responsibility at midnight,
when the journey by way of Crewe and
Chester to Holyhead began.
The officials of the latter line had
little sleep last night
Operators andtrack inspectors at ev'
cry station along the route, no matter
how small, were imperatively required
to be on duty half an hour before the
royal train was due, to examine per-
sonally as to signals and switches, aud
to see that all was in proper working
order
1he pilot engine, named prince OF
| Wales" ran quarter of an hour
ahead of the royal train, and after its
passage all tracks were kept absolute
~ clear.
The royal train was drawn by two
locomotives. with expert engineers

special object of this communication is to
express to you the desire of trustees, faculty

Most of our readers will have learned
ere they receive this paper of the death
of Ex-Governor j. NJ. Stone. 1t was a
great surprise and shock to the people
of Mississippi, who will long mourn
his death as one of their best beloved.
Governor Stone spent much of his
time at the capital during the session
of the legislature looking after the in
terests of the A. and Nj. college-thc
textile school bill being the one that
appeared most to concern him. When
that became a law, he felt that the col
lege would soon enter upon a wider
field of usefulness. He died at the home
of his adopted daughter, Mrs. Mckic,
in Holly Springs, on Monday morning,
March 26, after a weeks Illness his dis
ease, erysipelas, commencing in the
head and attacking the entire system.
He was buried in the afternoon of the
day following, in the cemetery at his
old home, Iuka, where many hundreds
had gathered from all parts of the State
to manifest their respect and love for
the distinguished and lamented dead
The officers of State, the trustees and
members of the State institutions of
learning, about three bundled of the
students of the A, and NJ. college, the
cadets of st. Thomas Hall, Holly
Springs, grand master and other officers
of the Masonic grand lodge, and great
number of the brethren from that sec
ton of the State, Confederate veterans,
all formed the long and mournful pro-
ccssion that accompanied the body and
saw it deposited in its last resting place
with military and Masonic honors, The
casiet was covered with Confederate
grey cloth, with graceful folds thereof
along the sides
John Marshall Stone was a native of
Giles county, Tenn; born April 30,
1880. removed to Mississippi in 1850;
was station agent at Iuka at the break
| ing out of the civil war; was colonel of
the Second Mississippi, and the Lost
Cause had no drawer defender; was
president of the State senate from 1865
to 1878; when Ames resigned became
governor, and in 1877 was elected to the
full term; appointed railroad commits
sioner in 1884; reelected governor in
! 1889, and served until January, 1896
On the resignation of Gen. S. d. Lee he
was elected president of the A. and NJ
college, and was fully measuring up &c
all the demands of that important posi-
ton. He was maturing many plans fol
its development on all the lines fol
which it was established, and was hap
py in the opportunities thus afforded
him of being able to serve the State
which had so steadily and cheerfully
honored him. We adopt as our owl
the glowing and truthful tribute to hi!
life and character by Bishop Galloway
than whom none was more competen
to form true estimate of his worth
and of the great loss which the com
wealth sustainS in his death.
