NEW RAILROAD PROPOSED.
Plans to Connect Nashville and Louis
vile by Another Route.
Mondays Courier-Journal says:

Mondays Courier-Journal says:
UNLESS present plans go wrong or
are upset, Louisville may be connected
with Nashville by another railroad.
1t is the idea of the promoters to lease
or buy the Shelbyville & Bloomfield
Road, build it ON to Lebanon to con-
meet there with the Southern division
of the Cumberland & Ohio. This road
is to be extended from Greensburg to
Scottsville, where it will connect with
the Chesapeake & Nashville to Gala
tin, Tenn. From that point the road
will be built into Nashville.
"One of the chief promoters of the
new road is Peter Arlund, we'll
known promoter of this city. 1t was
said yesterday that he had secured an
option ON the Shelbyville & Bloomfield
and the Cumberland d Ohio and would
be able to secure control of these roads,
and that he had ample capital behind
him to build the gaps ,

clerk of the session, Mr.. w. S. Fleming,
should notify the pastor and that the
question should be submitted to meet
ing OF the congregation. The pastor
being duly informed ia regard to the
matter, stated that this notification
would be sufficient, and asked that a
congregational meeting be not called
and the matter thus brought before the
public, saying that he would tender his
resignation in due time.
The officials acquiesced in the PASTORS
request, and they sealed their mouths
and kept the matter strictly in con
tidence, supposing, as matter of course,
that he would resign within sixty or
ninety days. Mr.. Fulton thought that,
for the welfare of the church, the mem
bers of the congregation should
speak out and take action upon
the matter at once. He said
that he was member of this church
twelve years ago, when DR.. Webb be-
gan his pastorate here. and that he
knew that the reason he had found the
membership reduced to l78 then, was
because of the fact that the church
and he regretted to say it,, had been
trying to ''starve out" their former pas
tor for several years, causing many OF
the members to leave and go to other
churches. He did not like this method
at all, and thought it would be a deal
more manly for the congregation to
speak out at once and say exactly what
they wanted.
Mr.. Fleming's motion was then
brought up, and remarks to the ques-
ton were made by Moderator Hardin
Hon. w. B. Gordon, and Messrs. A. S
James aud j. N. Cant. 1t was de.
cided that the motion conveyed the
meaning of DIR. Webb's request
and, upon vote being taken, the bal
lot resulted in 80 members favoring re
tanning DR. Webb after the meeting o.
the Presbytery, and GO in favor of no
retaining him.
No other business coming before tht
meeting, an adjournment was ther
taken, after prayer by Rev. Mr.
Hardin.
The course taken by Dr. Webb is re
garded by those most conversant will
the rules of the Presbyterian church, a
rather an unusual procedure. When ;
pastor wishes, for any reason, to seve
his relations with congregation, it is tn
rule ana custom for him to first tende
his resignation to the Presbytery, ant
then let the congregation vote upon th'
matter.
A majority of the congregation yes
terdav voted in favor of retaining tn
pastor after the meeting of the Presbv
terry. But, we are reliable informed
about ninety per cent of the active off
cial members, think that change
necessary for the welfare of the church
Presbytery will meet about the mid
die of September. There is a rumo
that Mr.. Webb will not occupy the pu
pit at all regularly hereafter. That h
will feel free to accept trial calls else
were, and that the officers of this churc
will supply the pulpit with trial sermon
from others; both sides considering it a
practically settled that the resignato
will be made effective at the Presby
terry. But this is rumor, and may {
may not be accurately correct.

North College street, last night. a few
minutes before eight o'clock, in which
James Zanone was slain by Murry Pet
way. Petway was in the saloon
about 4 o clock in the afternoon, and
it seems that he had a grudge against
the Zanone brothers. He was drinking
at the time, and it is said abused every
one connected with the place, calling
them the vilest names. He was put out
of the saloon by the proprietors, and in
ejecting him it is said that Zanone
struck Petway ON the head with a
stick, infiicting wound from which
the blood flowed.
Petway left, but during the after
noon declared that he would have
revenge for the treatment he had
received in the saloon. Last night
when The shooting occurred Zanone
was standing on the left side of the
door to his saloon, when Petway came
south on College street, and when
within a few feet of Zanone drew his
revolver and fired twice in quick sue
cesson.
These were the two shots that took
effect in the shoulders After they
were fired Zanone fell on the cigar
case, of which he caught hold, with
his face towards his slayer. Petway
then fired the fatal shot that struck
Zanone in the head and penetrated the
brain, and he fell to the floor

Saw a Mirage Over Lake Erie.

TOLEDO, o., Dec. 24.-A remark
able mirage which appeared over
Lake Erie, visible just beyond the
bay, startled a large number of ice
yachtsmen, and the strange phenome-
non is the talk of the city.
The story is vouched for by such
well known citizens as Harry Ashley,
Thos. Carroll and Others. They had
been fishing through the ice, after
fastening their yachts. Suddenly
Ashley uttered an exclamation and
pointed eastward. Many pairs Of eyes
were turned in that direction, and
there, strongly defined against the
sky, was the mirage Of a large city.
1t gradually became clearer until
the streets and large buildings could
be plainly distinguished. Hundreds
of buildings could be seen very dis
tinctly. Suddenly flames broke out
Of one Of the large buildings, the
smoke and flames appearing very dis
tinctly.
The mirage continued to appear
brighter, and people and fire appara.
tus and horses were seen pouring
from other buildings in different por
tlons Of the city.
For fully thirty minutes the strange
ly beautiful spectacle held the men
spellbound, then gradually faded
away. The character Of the men
makes the story beyond question as tC

Hard to Tell Apart.

The st. Louis Chronicle contained a
cut Of DIR. W. 7. Kendall, Of this city,
and T. d. Kendall, Of Illinois,a and says:
at would be difficult to find two
people in the world who look more
alike than w. I. Kendall, of Mexico,
and T. ID. Kendall, Of Montgomery
county, Illinois, who has been visiting
in Mexico. They took in the town to-
gether, and the old friends of W. T.,
who see him nearly every day, were
puzzled to distinguish him from his
brother, Of the "Sucker State" even
when they were side by side, as in this
picture. They have a great deal Of
fun playing pranks at the expense Of
friends and the public in general.
"It is a singular fact that when the
civil war came on these two brothers
took opposite sides, M entering the
Confederate army and the other the
Union army. The course Of human
events did not bring them together in
deadly conflict. They we're born in
Jersey county, Illinois, Dec. 20, 1889.
w. T. came TO Missouri to reside with
his brother, Judge Kendall, Audrain

remained in Illinois, where he is a
farmer. Since the war they have got
ten together politically. Both are
staunch Democrats"

Laddonia Institute.

The teachers meeting at Laddonia
last Saturday was a very profitable
and enjoyable one. 1t would have
been better II more of the patrons Of
the surrounding community could
have been present.
as President Kirk, Of Kirksville,
failed to get there a part Of the day
programme was saved V e and dis
cussed before a large audience at the
Christian Church in the evening. The
good people of Laddonia made the
teachers feel perfectly at home, and
the institute was voted a success.
Prof. Faulkner and his high school
class contributed much to the occasion
by we'll chosen selections of music.
The question Of the consolidation Of
the rural schools, a question that is
receiving much attention now, was
discussed at length at the evening
session and was generally endorsed as
the solution of the public school prob
lem.
A notable feature Of the meeting
was the readiness and enthusiasm
with which the young teachers en-
tered into the discussions. Audrain is
developing some of the brightest
teachers in the State and if the peo-
pie will only recognize their worth
and hold them a few years, our schools
will rank with the best. Already
other sections are bidding for our
teachers and we are 10th to let them
go. All teachers and patrons who
have studied the public school ques-
tion closely agree that the great need
OF the present is a system of graduation
and classification OF the common
schools that can be made effective and
that to accomplish this we must have
more definite laws on the subject and
county supervision. About twenty
five teachers were present.
President Kirk will be at Laddonia
Jan. 3Ist or at Rush Hill Feb. LIST.
