 | While Mobile is sui ling from a lack
 of accommodations for passengers, it is | apparent also that one of her principal
 railroads is suffering from too little room 1 for the immense amount of freight it is | handling-Tthe Louisville and Nashville.
 A short time ago the Louisville and Nash | vile built a magnificent modern freight | depot in Water Street, running from The atre almost to Eslava Street. This build- | ing, despite its size. has been found in- l adequate to the requirements and Gen.
 eral Manager Evans, who is on the look | out for all such improvements, came to | Mobile Wednesday and went over the
 situation with General Agent Barclay,
 with a view to reaching a conclusion as to building an additional structure, the
 same size as the present one. It is pro- | posed to have one of these buildings used
 for incoming and the other for outgoing
 freight.
 It is also known that the Louisville ] and Nashville has orders out Tor d num- | Der of new locomotives, to be placed in
 service on this end. because of the inn
 mense increase in freight traffic. U~ , | trainmaster of the Mobile Division of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. spent a few hours in Mobile last night. MT. Randall came to the Mobile and Ohio from the Cincinnati Southern, with which road he was con- | nected for eight years. Speaking of the old and present connections, MT. Ran dall said there was a vast difference. The Mobile and Ohio. traversing a country absolutely free from mountains and with | out tunnels, is an ideal proposition to a l railroad man. On the other hand the Cincinnati Southern has upward of twen- ty tunnels and goes over mountainous country almost it's entire length. He said he anticipated a most congenial life with the Mobile and Ohio He will make Meridian his headquarters.
