SHORT LINE TO FLORIDA.
II Will Put Montgomery Ninety Miles
Nearer Tallahassee.


The following interesting railroad
gossip is from the Montgomery Ad.
vertiser:
The Louisville and Nashville will
build an extension of the Alabama
and Florida, the extension being
from Geneva to Mariana, FlQgda.
The survey has already been mSie,
and contractors are now figuring on
the shape that they will be able TO
put their bids in. This has been
known for some days, in fact, since
the bill was introduced in Congress
in Washington, some days agd au-
rhorizing bridge to be built across
the ChOctawhatchie river. The Of
ficial announcement was not made,
however, until yesterday and that Is
why no mt ntiOn has been made of
the matter before. This means a
saving of 11G miles in the distance
from Montgomery to River juno
ton. From here to River juno
ton, bv way of FlOmatOn and PEN
sacOla, the distance is 324 miles,
while from here to River Junction,
by way of Andalusia and Geneva
the distance is 2O8 miles, a saving of
1l6 miles. From Geneva to Mari
anna the distance is about 45 miles
and at Marianna a junction is made
with the Louisville and NaShville''s
Pensacola and Atlantic line to River
Junction.
Speaking of the matter a proni-
nent railroad man said yesterday:
81 can make but one deduction from
it-that the Louisville and Nashville
is trying to get a shorter route to
the Land of Flowers. The claim is
made that the line by Geneva and
Marianna will be ninety miles
shorter to jacksonville than the
present route from Montgomery
over the Plant System. Now, the
supposition is that this is being done
by the Louisville and Nashville to
protect themselves in the event that
anything happens to the Plant-in
other words in the event that the
Southern octopus gets hold of the
Plant System. At River Juction
the Louisville and Nashville will
have to depend on the Florida Cen
tral and Peninsular Rivision-0f the
TSeaboard to get into Jacksonville
and interior Florida. 1t looks to
me as if this means "a close traffic ar
rangement between the Louisville
and Nashville and SeabOard, and ii
the Southern gets hold of the Plant
| think this is undoubtedly what will
happen. 1t would not surprise me
in the least, next winter to see the
limited trains from the West by way
of the Chicago and East Illinois go
direct to River Junction over the
Louisville and Nashville, and from
there to jacksonville over the Sea
board instead Of from Montgomery
to Jacksonville and St. Augustine
over the Plant as at present"

The Davis Monument.


Daily States.
The appeal made by the ladies of
the Jefferson DAVIS Monument
Chapter through the States on
Monday, ought to meet with a lib
eral response on the part of the
citizens of New Orleans and OF
Louisiana. We ought to have a
splendid monument in New Orleans
to the late president of the Confed-
eracy, and no true Southern man
or woman who is proud OF the
traditions and history Of the South
ought to wait to be asked for a
contribution to such worthy
cause. The South is prosperous
now and our people ought not
longer permit the reproach of fail
ing to honor the memory of their
great leader to stand against them.
Mrs. J. F. Spearing, the treas
urer of the chapter, will gladly re-
ceive subscriptions, and the States
will take pleasure in lending its
columns to the chapter for the &C
acknowledgements of such contribu
lions as may be made. In such a no
BILE cause the activity Of our patriotic
ladies ought to be swift to respond,
and the purse-strings of the men
who fought for the Confederacy,
and the sons of such men, should be
eargerly unloosed. 1t is a matter
which appeals to the patriotism and
the pride of New Orleans and of
Louisiana. and the appeal of these
noble ladies in behalf of cause so
noble, should find ready aud liberal
response on the part of gallant
men.

Oil Reported tn have been Found.
Mr.. b. Falk reports having
struck a vein of oil, while digging
a we'll on his backyard property
near the refinery. Samples shown
at the First National Bank and
other places, seem to indicate 4
similar qaulity of oil to that found
in the POurciau we'll. The oil
flowed at a depth of about forty
feet. A number of our citizens
have visited the place and report
having seen the flow. Mr.. Falk has
sent samples to be analysed by
competent chemists and intends to
develop the field if favorable
report is made.
