of a number of contracts, en-
bracing the trackage agreement
between the Illinois Central and
the Frisco railroad, to be filed in
the parishes of Louisiana. was
recorded this morning ia the
Jefferson court house. This con-
tract discloses the agreement
under which the Frisco will gain
it's entry into New Orleans over
the Mississippi Valley tracks.
In return for the use of the Val
ley tracks from Baton Rouge
down, the Frisco gives the IL
linois Central an entry into the
coal and iron fields of Birming-
ham over the Kansas City, Mem
phis and Birmingham railroad.
In addition to this the Frisco

struction and shares half of the
cost of maintenance. The con-
tract is to run for ninety nine

A SMALL FIRE.

Early last Friday morning the
north livery barn was burned. A.
A. Marchel had just purchased ii
from the schoolboard who a few
months ago purchased the lots and
building from w. H. Haun. Mr..
Marchel had just begun tearing the
building down and had the ROOF
taken away.
There is only one explanation OF
the origin of the fire and that is
that it was deliberately started by
someone. Only ten minutes before
it started men had passed the barn
and there was no indication of fire
A man who will stoop to trick o1
that kind is getting rather low in
the scale of humanity. Mr.. Mar
chel paid S277 for the barn but the
school board, in consideration oi
his misfortune, gave him a rebate
of ST, SO that his loss is $500.
