Surveyors have about completed the per manent survey for the North Alabama Railroad which the Louisville and Nash vile will build from it's main line at Phe- lans, Cullman County, to the Little War rior river in Walker County where it will connect with the Ensley Southern. It is stated that the contract for building the North Alabama Railroad will be let in a short time, and that the work will be pushed as much as possible.

 A telegram from Boston states that ...ere would seem to be good ground for the be- lief that the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham income bondholders will re- ceive 5 per cent. on their bonds in Septem- Der against per cent. received last Sep tember. For the eleven months ended May 31, the surplus, after charges, amounted to $329,990, while it only required $S15901 to pay per cent. on the $6,31S, O2O income out standing.
 Rules for Ejecting Passengers
 
 standard rule authorizing train conductors to deal with passengers having neither ticket nor pass, and who will not pay their fare. It reads as follows: Should anyone be found on train without proper trans portation, such person must be required to pay fare, and, in case of refusal, should be requested to leave the train. If he refuses to leave the train peaceably he should be ejected by the conductor, only such force being used as is necessary for his removal, and in no case with unnecessary violence, harsh language display of i'll temper. The elections must be made by the con- ductor as an act of legal duty, and only in a reasonable manner and at proper place within station limits. It should not be at such place, in such weather, or at such unreasonable hours of the night as might ordinarily endanger the health or the safe ty of the person elected, and the person elected must not be child, person of unsound mind, or one unable to take care of himself or herself.'
