RAILROAD WORLD.

A. D. Lightner. general agent of the
 Frisco system in Birmingham, returned
 yesterday from St. Louis. where he has
 been in conference with the officials of
 the road.
 MT. Lightner stated that several of the
 new locomotives ordered for the plrming-
 ham, Memphis division of the Frisco had
 arrived and that the car equipment or
 dered several months ago would begin
 to arrive within a few days.
 With the increased equipment and the
 better roadbed we will be in excellent
 shape" said MT. Lightner We are re-
 pairing our entire roadbed between Bir-
 mingham and Memphis as rapidly as the
 work can be done We are laying new
 ties and putting down heavy rail, and at the same time we are ballasting heavily" While there Is not what would be called
 car shortage in the Birmingham dis trict. still all the railroads have demand for all the cars available. The movement of pig iron Is beginning to be heavy, as the recent sales have created good movement, and cotton Is moving freely The transportation officials of the vari- ous roads stated yesterday that they had been able To furnish all the cars called for. but that it kept them hustling to meet the demand and that they had to keep cars moving all the time Within the past month or two the output of coal in the district has increased materially and this calls for a large num- Der of cars daily. Nearly all of the rail roads which enter the Birmingham dis | trict have received new equipment, both locomotives and cars, in the past yea
 and this is enablhohshem to handle the | increased business. N'.'s

Will Raise Quarantines.

On Sunday next the decision of half a dozen or more parishes to raise quar- antnes will go Into effect. Others will follow during that week and the exper- fence of those parishes will do doubt affect many others. As 1t Is, there have been In the last few days unusually large number of arrivals here from diff ferent points in Louisiana, which indi- cates that communities in the interior are modifying their restrictions.
 Interest In the Presidents visit Is con- stantly growing and the probability Is that, with or without quarantines, there will be large country invasion of New Orleans at the end of the month. Dr. White said today that he was in receipt of information of an unofficial character that many towns would raise their bars within the next ten days if it became evil dent that the disease Is under control and there is no increase of the sickness. He feels assured that there will not be.

have been represented. In only one case did the disease result fatally.
 Thirty-six cases are now under treat ment at the emergency hospital. There is accommodation for three times tfPt number with a large force of physicians and nurses Because the hospital Is so far from havings its capacity tested, there is ample opportunity to give every patient unusually close attention and that Is one of the reasons why the nor tality Is now so low in the institution The nine residents of Rosetta. Miss, who are being detained in the hospital were again reported well today and it is not believed that any of them will de- velop fever. They will be discharged dur ing the present week.
