Lafourche Trolley Line.

In cur last issue, we gave an ac.
count Of the proposed electric railway
and power houses, to be established
along Bayou Lsfourche and the
advantages to be derived. We IN.
dcrstand, that it is now, practically
an assured fact. 1t is indeed graft
flying, to state, that our population
seems to look upon the matter very
favorably. Why should they look
npOn it otherwise Does the CON-
rnunity not, in its establishment aud
successful operation, reap all the
benefits to he derived ? We can not
have too many modes of traffic; true
we have railroad on either side of
the bayou, yet, there is room for
more. The railroads have only One
or two trains day, whereas, this
new company proposes having their
schedules so arranged that our friends
from up and down the bayou can
come to town whenever they choose,
and as competition is the life of trade,
the more cOnveyances, and manners
of transportation We have, the lower
the prices. Our roads are iD a good
conIitlon as long as the weather is
good; but when rains set in it is not
long while before they become ut
terly impossible. Now these people,
if they obtain the franchise they have
demanded from our Police Jury, aud
We have every reason to believe they
will, propose to keep the roadway
adjacsnt to their system in first
class condition all the time. This in
itself is great consideration for the
privilege of establishing a public
convenience. Now as one industry
helps to bring another, it follows that
the establishment of this new under.
taking will necessarily encourage the
establishment of other industries in
our immediate vicinity. And once
we get foreign capital interested, 1t
will naturally seek other fields in
which this country is abundant. The
establishment of this undertaking will
be the developement of this section
Of the country. The day is not far
off, when factories will be booming up
on all sides, then, and not until then,
will we attain position IN the march
of progress and prosperity, that We
have been 80 late in obtaining. The
Sentinel is greatly interested in this
new project and sees in the successful
establishment of this railway and pow
er house system the future Of our city
and parish.

Beware of a Cough.

A cough is not disease but a
symptom. Consumption and bron-
chltis, which are the most dangerous
and fatal diseases, have for their first
indication persistent cough, and if
properly treated as soon as this cough
appears are easily cured. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy has proven
wonderfully successful, and gained
its wide reputation and extensive sale
by its success in curing the diseases
which cause coughing If it is not
beneficial it will not cost you cent.

FINANCE AND TRADE
Better Feeling in the Stock Market
Today.
STRONG BUYING OF ST. PAUL
Slight Reaction Noted After the
Noon Hour.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, January 23.-Opening
prices this morning were generally steady
and a good demand developed In commits
sion house circles. The action of the Lon
don exchange in adjourning without bust
ness deprived the local market of a con-
siderable volume of business.
The immediate incentive to the new busi-
ness was a Chicago dispatch announcing
the overcoming of the obstacle In the St.
Paul deal The short interest covered free
ly, and traders We're inclined to the view
that the low prices had been reached.
Toward noon leading banking houses
were free buyers of the active list and all
the railway shares Interested In the st.
Paul operation moved up sharply. Senti-
ment changed again and optimism was ex-
tended to the point OF including the Steel
shares. Pressed Steel Car advanced over
per cent from the low prices OF yesterday.
and some of the buying was credited to in
fiuential inside interests.
Federal Steel responded easily to a new
demand and Steel and Wire showed signs
OF new strength All sorts of rumors are
In circulation relative to the last-named
property, a per cent dividend and u
change in control being utilized In fostering
the advance.
At the end Of the noon hour traders be-
gan to sell the active shares and forced
some realizing in all parts of the room.
One operator sold 5000 shares each of Erie
Northern Pacific. Baltimore and Ohio and
Brooklyn Rapid Transit. This selling was
effective sentiment, but the prices Of
the share named were given excellent
support on the way down
The engagement of 81 900 600 gold for ex-
port was made little Of outside Of the room.
The banks appreciate the real character of
the movement and are not concerned with
the loss in specie. The institutions which
are preparing to ship gold are the ones
most thoroughly committed to Improvement
In the stock market. Houses with inter-
national connections continue to advise
purchases of the better class of securities
on all setbacks.
There Is however. q growing feeling I'm
conservative circles that the market will be
feverish for a time. and that Il Will not re-
tain any direction long. Frequent advances
and numerous setbacks are likely, but in no
quarter Is there any apprehension.
The meeting Of Brooklyn Rapid Transit
directors on Friday may throw some light
upon recent rumors relative to changes I'm
management and control. There is a fol-
lowing in the street which has grown very
confident that Pennsylvania railroad inter
ests will be found in control of the fran
chise of the former company. Prospects OF
this character are responsible for the
markable undertone of the present market
The big men are supposed to have reason
for holding prices well up to their best
recent level, and the average trader is will
Ing to hold on until convinced that recent
guessing has lacked a substantial basis.
Final prices were irregular. but the tone at
the close was steady.

IMPORTANT POINT RAISED.
| Is CARTE cid Park Subject to Use by the
Railroad Company

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Permit few suggestions for the consid-
Grafton of Congress.
Before final action granting lands to the
Pennsylvania railroad from public parks it
would be we'll for the matter to be submit
ted to the Attorney General to examine
and report whether the land was not con-
veyed for special purposes by the original
owners, and if diverted and used for other
whether it will not revert to the heirs of
such owners. Many years ago it was de-
termined to place the jail on the reserva-
ton west Of Duddington, and excavation
was made and part of the foundation laid
when I raised this same question. and |
think the then city attorney concurred in
the opinion that the land would so revert
should the Jail be built. At all events the
work was abandoned.
Congress should also consider that within
twenty years the city will have expanded
to the District line, and the necessity for
as obvious and imperatiyely demanded to
such line as to the limited points now con-
templated by the bills before Congress, as
dictated by the railroads. 1t would seem
that the true course to pursue for both the
railroads and the public would be for both
to enter the city via the Anacostfa valley,
and through tunnels at the navy yard, as
now done by the Pennsylvania railroad. and
then by sunken tracks. on land to be pur-
chased by them, embracing whole squares,
to the Long bridge, and having a union
station fronting on Virginia avenue. The
government and the District could we'll
afford to unite with the roads In furnish
ing means for the purchase Of the neces-
sary land for this change r. L. B. c.
