TENNESSEE CENTRAL.
The First Spike Driven at Hop
kinsvilIe tuesday, Sept, 29.

The first spike was driven in
the Hopkinsville end of the Ten
uessee Central railroad Tuesday
afternoon, says the Kentuckian.
The work of laying track has be-
gun, with force of about twenty
men, and by Wednesday light the
track wac PIT down to the
Phelps field. The Canton pike
will be reached as rapidly as pos
sible towards GAINESVILLE.
At the GAINESVILLE end an incres-
ed force of men has been put on,
and track laying has been pushed
on Spring street, here operations
have so long been delayed by in
junction suits. The rails are now
being put down in five different
plsszA
Work IS still in progress on the
line beyond Ashland City. ALoth-
er crew is building from Clarks-
vile towards Ashland City, and
the end of these two pieces of
track are within less than nine
miles of each other. The other
crews are at work at Oak Grove,
one building towards GAINESVILLE
and the other towards this city.
this makes six crews now putting
down track as rapidly as it can be
laid, including the one Eat this
end.
Between Nashville and Clarks-
Vile the Tennessee Central, inclu.
ding the Belt line will be 30 1-2
miles long. All of this but nine
miles has been laid, and the right
of way is graded for that 9 miles
except a few places where the
amount of work to be done is i'm
material. This means that it will
be but few days until the line is
complete from here to GAINESVILLE,
with the exception of the bridge
across the Cumberland river. That
will easily be ready by the time
the remainder of the road from
Clarksville to Hopkinsville is rea-
dy to be put in operation.
General Manager Geo A. Clark,
who has charge of the work, adj
heres to his statement that the
road will be ready for through cars
by Nov. l, if not by Oct. 10.
The road bed is already graded
from Hopkinsville seven miles
south. By the time force of men
builds that seven miles of track
the grading will be in condition on
this way for the force to move on
towards GAINESVILLE without seri-
GUS interruption. There is some
grading to be done but none of it
will be difficult or slow, as there
is no rock to be gotten out of the
way. The track laying will con-
tinue on towards Clarksville and
the crew for Oak Grove will then
meet the Hopkinsville gang half
way.
This will leave only the gap be-
tween Oak Grove and GAINESVILLE.
In that section there is to be a
deep rock cut. This is the only
difficult piece IF work on this en-
tire road that remains to be done.
There are some slight fills to be
made and few places where the
ground has to be lowered. But at
all of these places, without excep-
ton, no rock will be encountered
The dirt and clay can, of course,
be cut very rapidly.
Day and night shifts are at work
on the rock cut. This will be the
last place on the road to be CON-
pleted, and would delay the open
ing of the road bit for the vigor-
Gus steps that have been taken by
General Manager Clarke.

Ex-President Moore has been of inesti-
mable service to Earlham and 1T is con-
sidered extremely appropriate that some
memorial should be erected in recognition
of this. He is Hoosier by birth and his
first instruction was secured in the public
schools. He began teaching at the age Of
eighteen. In 1853 he entered the Friends
Boarding School. In 1859 he entered
Harvard and was for two years under the
direct instruction of Agassiz. He then came
back to Earlham and has given most of his
life service since to her advancement. In
the winter Of 1S74-75 he was given leave Of
absence to make a trip to the Hawaiian
islands, which enabled him to make exc
tensive scientific researches. particularly
on the volcanoes and coral reefs. He was
president Of the college from 1869 to 1883
when he was compelled to resign because
of poor health.
Earlham's museum, which, without
question, Is the largest and finest in the
Middle West is largely a product of Prof
Moore's untfring energy and patient. re-
