L. and N. Employees Excusion.

The orphans of Mobile have cause today for congratulating the Louisville and Nashville employees who. this morning ran their twenty y-first annual excursion out of Mobile to Biloxi. The people handled required three trains. the first with twelve cars. the second with thirteen and the third with nine out of Mobile and two between this city and Biloxi. As has been stated the net proceeds of these an- nual outings go directly to the several orphanages of Mobile and the expenses are only the advertising and printing and mileage for cars used. this being nominal and virtually nothing as compared with the usual charges. It is conceded by many that this is the largest of the twenty-one excursions given by this organization of workingmen for the orphans.
