Sad indeed was the message that
came to the Dorsett brothers Monday
from their brother, Mr.. John T., at
Montrose, announcing that their
mother, Mrs. J. H. Dorsett, was
dying at that place. Before the first
outgoing train could be caught came
another stating that she was dead.
Superintendent W. NJ. and Mr.. ]. @.
Dorsett went to Montrose to be with
the grief stricken relatives there for
day. This is great blow to these
clever young men, who are too well
known in this county for us to at
tempt to say here more about them
they were ever devoted sons to the
loving mother at the old home place.
Mrs. Dorsett succumbed to a third
paralytic stroke. Several months ago
she had an attack of paralysis, just at
the time she had completed prepare
lions to visit her sons in this county.
The grief stricken relatives have the
deepest sympathy of the Herald and
the community in this, their hour Of
sorrow.

FOR NEW BELT AND TERMINALS.
Southern Railway Company Seeks Z
Franchise From Venice.

Southern Railway Company Seeks =
Franchise From Venice.
An application received Wednesday by
the City Council of Venice from the South
ern Railway Company asking a franchise
for the construction and operation Of belt
railroad through the streets Of Venice. dis
closes plan for the building of large
terminals. which the Southern Railway will
soon execute. The franchise which the
Southern company requests will give It tho
right-of-way for a northbound track six
feet west Of the Chicago and Alton Railway
Company's right-of-way. while the south
bound track will probably be laid along
Weber street to the southern city limits
Of VeLice.
The proposed belt line will connect the
yards of the Louisville. Evansville and st.
Louis Railway, recently absorbed by the
Southern Railway, with the terminals pro-
jected north Of the Merchants Bridge. A
tract Of land, comprising nearly 300 acres
was purchased last winter from the Cool
syndicate OF Madison, and at the time the
sale was the subject of considerable specu-
lation on the part Of business men in the
Tri-Cities. but 1t was not positively known
until last week that the st. Louis baSkal
whose name appeared in the transaction
was merely the agent Of the Southern Rail
tion of its terminals. Two inclines, both
1000 feet long, will be built, and two trans
fer boats, connecting with the Burlington
Railway in St. Louis. will also be operated
ferryboat for the conveyance of freigh,
and passengers will be added. The cost Of
constructing the new belt terminals ant
inclines is placed at 100000.

Tho once fiourishing business OF railway
receiverships il threatened with extinction.
Three little roads aggregating but sixty
miles OF track are the only additions thus
Tar this year to the lists of railways taken
In charge by the courts on account Of de-
faulting in their obligations. They are as
follows: Little Kanawha. in West Virginia.
thirty miles: Mount Airy and Eastern. a

road. in Georgia. fifteen miles. The two
iirst are uncompleted enterprises. and the
last was built many years ago.: chiefly by
the Central Railroad Of Georgia, which ap-
pafently proposes now to acquire title.
The capitalization and bonded debt Of none
OF these roads are q matter of public record.
but the entire investment probably repre-
sents less than 100000.
For the first six months Of last year the rec
ord of receiverships showed nine roads, with
sIS miles OF lines and s56.000.o 900 Of bonds and

the footings were sixteen roads. l165 miles
