IS BACKED BY L. AND n.
A Report I'm Louisville Regarding
Road From Madisonville.
Thursdays Courier, Journal }

Thursdays Courier journal J
1t was reported yesterday that the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad Com
pany was pushing the construction of
the proposed new line from Madison
vile to Irvington by the way of Ford =
vile, and had agreed to purchase the
line following its completion. The re-
port came from railroad men who have
been visiting the cities interested in the
new line.
Under present plans, it is the inten
ton of a company of Madisonville cap
italists to build a steam line from Mad
isonville to Fordsville, where it will
connect with the Fordsville branch of
the L. II. and st. L. The l.. and n.
officials are said to be anxious to see
this line go through, as it would be one
more step toward a direct line from
Louisville to Paducah. Recognizing
the fact that Paducah will be an Ohio
river crossing in few years to come,
it is the intention of the L. and n.
officials to get better foothold in the
city than they now have. at present
the l.. and N. reaches Paducah only
by running so far south that it nearly
enters Tennessee, and the Illinois Cen
trail has a distinct advantage on di =
lance.
1t is also said that this metz railroad
will open a territory of undeveloped
country, which is not tapped by any
railroad, and that large shipments of
grain, tobacco, lumber and coal will be
sent to Louisville by means of it. At
present the greater portion of these
shipments go to Evansville by the way
of Green river. Should the L. and N.
secure the new branch, it would be but
stem to connect Madsonville with
Pdducah, running their trains from
Fordsville over the L., II. and St. L.,
and not only securing direct route to
Paducah, but the benefit of developing
a virgin territory.

Thursday by Deputy Sheriff Kelly,

to this city and in the absence of Judge
Stephens, went to Jail to await eXamin-

The woman was accompanied by a

The examining trial Of the woman
was resumed before Judge Stephens,
and although the evidence was rather
conflicting she was held in the sum of
$3.50 for her appearance at the next
term of circuit court. As she was not
able to secure bond she was sent to jail,

can either keep with her or send away

Mrs. Pate, like her husband, is of

York law school, in 1891, bore the names
OF Charles Z. Hughes and William b.

to note. parenthetically, that three
years after graduation Mr. Hughes

1t is rumored that there is a plan

more privileges than are now enjoyed

If any action is taken at all the SEN
timent of some of the aldermen and

that the privileges of the sand compa-

that they may make less of a nuisance

room for the traffic of the boats with
