ARCTIC EXPLORERS
Are Believed TO Have Pcrishcd As
Season Was BAD One.

ST. johns, n. F.. Nov 10.-The
mailboat Virginia arrived from nor
thern Labrador. bringing James
Richards and Peter Stevens, mem
bers of Dillon Wallace's expedition
to explore the interior of Labrador.
They left Wallace and Easton in Sep
tember in the widest part of Labra-
dor When provisions were growing
scarce Wallace and Easton decided TO
attempt to reach the Caribou coun-
try. Before this the party had suffer
ed greatly owing to the scarcity of
game, being on short rations for a
considerable period. Richards and
Stevens gave Wallace and Easton ev-
cry ounce of food they could spare
and suffered terrible privations them
selves in reaching the coast.
The mailboat brought no news of
Mrs. Hubbard's expedition which has
not been heard of since It left the
coast last June. Reliable authority
along the coast express grave fear
that both expeditions have perished,
the season having been unusually
poor for game. while snow fell on
the uplands early in August. II Is al
together unlikely that the expedi-
tlons can reach the coast later in this
season. If they fail to do so they
must certainly perish.

ports from Jackson state that, while
Judge James Hargis has been de-
feated by 1852 votes, he will contest
Taulbees election as will the rest of

posed contest. The Fusion forces are
thoroughly organized and will resist
any effort TO rob them. A Mr.. Ham

sonal violence.

Will in Ten Days Start a Barge
Transfer System.
Two Trips a Day Contemplated and
Only Freight Business Is to
BE Handled at Present.
ROAD TO BE BUILT LATER

Within ten days the Frisco rail-
road may have connection with Padu.
cab, giving il road to Nashville,
Tenn. Mr.. G.. II. Hummer. travelling
freight agent for the Frisco, is in the
city working up business for his road
that the road may be working with
Paducah in ten days.
This news will come as a surprise
for ii was thought by many that the
road was going to build up on the
Kentucky side from Joppa, ILL.,, TWEEN
ty miles below here, but for the pres
ent towboat and barges will be us
ed. Later the road will be built.
Mr.. Hummer stated that two or
three trips will be made a day but
probably two for a while. He said
there would be no passenger business
handled at present as the company
desird to handle only the freight
business from Joppa to Paducah. A
large barge, probably built of steel,
which Will hold ten cars will be used
and a boat will tow them here and
unload them at the N. c. and st. l..
incline, which is near the iron fur
mace, on South Third street. The
freight will then be hauled over that
roads tracks. When the boat returns
to Joppa she will take back a load.
II is proposed TO make one trip in
the morning and the other in the af-
tsrnoon. OF course If the business be-
comes so voluminous as to necessi-
tate it. more trips will be made and
more barges will be secured.
The towing plan will be temporary
as the road intends to eventually
immediate connection with the N, G.
and St. l.. il has decided on the boat
business. The road expects to get in
operation with this city in ten days
but il may not get started so soon.
Mr.. Hummer is here 10 work up all
the business he can for the road. 1t
will compete with the Illinois Cen
trail and may eventually mean low
er freight rate into and out of Padu-
cab, which will be big thing for the
city and the business men. Mr.. Kum-
mer succeeded Mr.. K. j. Knickerboc-
ker a few months ago.
NJ. Hummer said before leaving
the city this afternoon, that If the
present plan is carried out, the Fris-
co will use the big towboat Davis and
barge between Joppa and Padncah.
The complete equipment for handling
the freight business is now ready, he
stated. The Davis was formerly in
the transfer service at Thebes, H..
before the new btidge was finished
1t is understood that the Frisco's
only obstacles rs the ~, c. & st. l..
with which arrangements have NOT
yet be:n completed to handle the bus
mess. 1t is said that the ~, c. q
st. h. has been hanging back Local
officials do not know anything about
it, as IL a matter for the higher of.
ficials of the road to decide. Ii is al
so understood that the Frisco officials
have Informed local shippers that the
new arrangement now depends entire
by ON the N, C. & st. J.. and that
the Frisco is very anxious to enter
Paducah, and will do so if the ~, c.
& ST. l.. agrees.
