EDWARD EVERETT HALE's IDEA
Contract Which he Has Laid Out For
Twentieth Century Railroads.

Three great railway enterprises were
specified among the five duties of the
twentieth century" outlined by Edward
Everett Hale in an address in Chicago
last week, namely: One, the construc-
ton of a four track railway from La
brador to Patagonia, needed to keep the
human family from being squeezed to-
gether' too much; two, the building of
a railway across Europe and Asia from
the Atlantic to the Pacific with a
branch to Odessa, opening Siberia to
several million of people who would
otherwise be crowding into America,
and diverting 100000 Russian Jews
whom We do not need to the land of
their ancestors; three, the completion
of Cecil Rhodes plan of a railway from
the Mediterranean to the Cape of Good
Hope. The distinguished preacher and
author formulated no plans for the fin
ancing of these large undertakings, but
ne evidently has no apprehension in re
gard to the combinations of capital,
communities of interest, mergers and
denominations which their accomplish
ment would necessitate.

between the two cities time and speed
are essential elements of the value of the
train; and furthermore, that the enforced
diminution of the speed of the train at
Wakefield is costing the company from
s75 to 500 per day, and is greatly inter-
fering with it in the discharge of its du-
ties as a common carrier making it i'm
possible to carry out the schedules of its
fast trains.
The company further contends that the
multiplicity of suits against it, pending
the trial of the question of the unreason-
ableness of said ordinance, will be a
source of great worry. annoyance and
expense to the railway.
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD ENJOINED.
The railway company, through its coun-
sci, Judge w. III. Mann and George S..
Bernard. presented to Judge B. A. Han
cock. Of the Second Judicial Circuit of
Virginia. bill emhodying the above
facts and praying that an injunction be
granted, restraining the town of Wake
field from enforcing said ordinance. and
from bringing any further suits in the
Justices court against the company until
the further order Of the Circuit Court of
Sussex county.
Judge Hancock, after aiding the bill.
and without hearing argument. to-day
granted the injunction asked for. re-
curing the railway company to execute
a bond in the penalty OF 81, 900 before the
injunction shall be effective. and direct
ing that the company shall not run its
trains through Wakefield at a rate greater
than six miles an hour, unless it shall
provide Waterman at each of the cross
ings in said town. This the company will
promptly do.
This matter has caused much interest
in the towns along the railway between
Petersburg and Norfolk. and it is thought
at once move for dissolution of the in
junction. when the whole case win be
fully argued before Judge Hancock and
finally decided by him.
In the petition of the company it is
stated that when the railway was first
built there was but a single house at
