WORK IS STOPPED ON
A. K. AND N. CONNECTION

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, July 2s.-President
John B. Newton. of the Knoxville, Lafol-
lette and Jellico railroad (the Louisville
and Nashville extension from -Jellico to
Knoxville, to connect the main line with
the Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern rail-
road), received telegraphic instructions
from New York yesterday to stop the let
ting OF contracts for construction from
Knoxville to Lafollette and to proceed to
New York at once.
He left this afternoon. The final con-
tracts, including local terminus, were to
have been awarded today. 1t is thought
here that some development, probably in
the reported merger Of the Louisville and
Nashville, and the Atlantic Coast Line
has transpired in which the Lafollette
road project, of the Atlanta, Knoxville
and Northern is Interested. Mr.. Newton
is general manager of the Atlanta,a Knox
VILE and Northern. Nothing will be given
out there as to details.

and have given the doctor what aid we
could in providing suitable conditions for

caution has been taken against infection
from these cases which in "a hours time
