read Men.

After what Is probably the record for
the most phenomenal recovery from
disaster and the successful conclusion
of the most gigantic work ever &C
complished by a railroad company In
the United States the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad yesterday succeed
ed in repairing It's tracks south OF Bay
Minette to allow trains to be run
through to the city of Mobile.
The prodigious amount Of work done
by the Louisville and Nashville officials
and workmen In the last six days Is
something that the general public can
not conceive Railroad people UNDER
stand 1t and they take off their hats
in admiration Of the wonderful pluck
and gigantic resources of the Louis
Vile and Nashville Railroad Company.

The bulk of the repair work is now
being centered on the New Orleans
division Of the Louisville and Nashville,
and 1t will probably be some time be-
fore that division Is In shape for the
operation of trains. Besides the loss
of a number Of bridges several miles
Of track are washed away. so it can
be seen what an amount of work will
have to be done. AS rapidly as pos
sible supplies are being rushed to the
scene and new track Is being laid
and bridges repaired as fast as can be
done
Yesterday morning a fast freight
train left Montgomery with seven cars
of eighty-pound rail for the New Or

be shipped in as long as there Is a
demand for them
The most wonderful feature Of the
recent trouble is the fact that there
has not been a blockade or congestion
of freight In the local yards Of the
Louisville and Nashville. General
Freight Agent f. A. deDuniak was

Publishers Press1

Washington, May 25.-The depart

DIR. M. Rorset, of the bureau of ami
NAL industry, has been granted a pat
ent for a process of protecting swine
from hog cholera. The application
was made under the terms of the act
of March 8. 1888, and the invention
may be used by the government of
the United States, or any of its Off
GERS or employees. In the prosecution
of work for the government. or by
any other person in the United tates,
without the payment of any royalty.
The method consists, briefly, in injec-
ting hogs immune from hog cholera,
with blood taken from animals sick
of that disease. The departments ex-
periments have shown that such i'm
munity may be artifcially produced
by the method covered by the patent,
but these experiments also show that
the process is not yet sufficiently per-
fected to warrant its use, except in an
experimental way, and then only by
