LUNCHEON a Decided Success.

"a lady in Buda.Pesth recently gave
a charitable luncheon party to the
poor of her district. She placed no
limit on the number of invitations,
and the result was that 5000 people
arrived, all eager for the treat.
Eventually the police had to draw
their sabers to keep order among the
jewellers. There were no two opin-

ton. The guests to a man declared
that they had never assisted at so in
tense and exciting luncheon before
in their lives. They were quite cut
up when the time came to go.

Southern to Build New Road-lt May
Touch Frederioksbug.

Il is now reported that the Southern
Railway is endeavoriug TO enter the
West Virginia coal fields. The Southern
has about as many mines and mining
property az any OF the southern lines.
but il seems to want some OF the natural
richness OF the bills in West Virginia, the
coal to go probably to Newport News.
The Southern Is now carrying large
amounts OF Alabama coal to New Orleans.
The fact that the eSouthern is negotiating
for the little lines and intends to build
into West Virginia explains q mystery
which has been pulling local railroad
men. Last July a party OF surveyors
mapped out a route from Fredericksburg
TO MaynesborO, Staunton and Harrison
burg. 1t was said that the Goulds were
preparing TO build loop, and otherr
thought that the Rock Island or the re
mainder Of the new combination wer'
planning to get coal Now the fact leaks
out that it is the Southern which isplan
ming the new road, and which has beer
surveying the route.
