The record between Harrisburg
and Altoona, 1872 miles, was broken
by the Fast Mail on the Penusyl-
vinia road last Friday, when the
distance was covered in 119
minutes, an average of mile in 81
1-1lths seconds. The Empire
State Express on the Central also
made a record run, though only for
a short distance. In making up
eight minutes lost time in the last
twenty miles going west, it covered
a mile in 36 seconds, or at the rate
Of 100 miles an hour.

TRANSPORTING CHILDREN TO SCHOOL

Throughout the northern anC
western states, aud even in several
of the parishes of Louisiana, of
which we may mention Lafayette,
Avoyelles and St. Bernard ,advanc-
ed ideas regarding the teaching of
pupils Of the rural districts have
been adopted. The small rural
schools are being done away with
and the children are being carried
to the large central schools in com
modlous conveyances made espe-
cially for the purpose. Wherever
the change has been made great
deal of opposition has had to be
overcome, every one wanting a
school near his own door; but once
tried every patron was pleased and
the transportation to the central
school idea has been maintained.
The school board owns the con
veyance and team and hires driv-
et,Dbr contracts with some one who
owns the conveyance, to place the
children in the school house within
ten minutes Of a certain time.
There are many reasons in favor
of the idea. First. the elimination
of small inefficient rural shcools
and the building up of graded GEN.
tral schools where the pupils may
get superior advantage; second,
there is no tardiness on the part of
the pupils; third, the pupils all
reach the school room warm and
dry shod in all kind of weather
with no inconvenience to themsel-
yes.
OF course the main argument is
the Capitalization one, which remov-
es the poorly paid and incompetent
teacher, and the unhealthful and
cramped little school building and
gives the pupils instand crop of
competent teachers and the COM
fort aud health of large, com
modious, warm school building.
All these are brought about
without the addition Of one cent Of
expense to the patron of the rural
section. The children are trans
sported to and from school at the
expense of the school board, which |
will find it in every instance cheap
er than maintaining the several
small schools. The advancement
of each and every scholar must
necessarily be greater for the same
length Of time, while there is the
addition advantage of being enabl-
ed to maintain the central school a
full nine months term, while many
of the rural schools do not hold |
session more than four months

MAY STILL LEAVE LEESWLLE

From report emanating at
LeesviIIe it is said that every
possibility exists for supposlng
that the line the Kansas City
Southern expects to build into
New Orleans may yet leave that
city, the report of Chief Engin-
eer Bush going to shows that
the belief is we'll founded. The
line was originally intended to
leave the main line of the Kan
sas City Southern at Leesville,
but it was afterwards called off
because of inability to get a low
grade line and the excessive
high prices. asked by the owners
of land for right of way. Mr..
Bush, in chasing about for a
low grade line through territory
where right of way would be
cheap, believes he has found the
right route and out of Leesville
at that.
While it has been given out
from New iberia for some time
that the work of construction
was to again start on the line
known as the Central OF Louis
lana, it has not yet done so, and
Walter Myrick, the chief con-
tractor of the road, says he does
not know when it is to start,
but has had an intimation that
everything will be in shape soon
tor recommending the work.

THE LOUISIANA OCTOPUS.

The Baton Rouge Times correctly
sizes up popular sentiment in
Louisiana when it publishes the
following:
"W hatever may be the merits of
the action of the Louisiana Railroad
Commission in making sweeping
reduction in the toll rates of the
Cumberland Telephone Company,
and until there has been time aud
opportunity for "a judicai decision
IN the case, the merits of the action
are not open to question, there is
not the slightest doubt as to what
the reception Of the decision will be
before the public at large. A great
wave of JOY will sweep over the
state, because the corporation got
it IN the neck -
''lf there has ever been a corpora
ton operating in the state of
Louisiana which has aroused the
degree of popular Indignation that
has the Cumberland, certainly |
there has not been one which has |
brought out the same manifesto
tious of it. Its enemies, who are
many, damn it with a better, vim
dictive energy that bears the stamp
OF genulneness on its face. Its
friends, if it have any, are not of
the noisy kind. They are naver
heard from.
"The decision of the railroad
commission in this case seems to
furnish proof that all against the
corporation were not unfounded.
If the commission has the proper
light on the subject, which is
scarcely opeE 10 argument, the
sweeping reduction is altogether
justified, and there is nothing to
be said in favor of the action of
the corporation in establishing and
maintaining the present rates,
And inquiry as to why the have
been allowed to exist thus long
may not be impertinent. ,
"From the viewpoint of the
corporation, of course, the action
of the ecusmission is altogether un- I
justiiable. There was never yet t
which could fnd 2y
merit in an act which deprived it of {
the smallest portion of its revenues. {
Such proceedings, from their 6

by the action Of the state authori-

the news that Governor Harris of
Ohio is suffering from contact with

Certainly, official action on a con

Senator Beveridge has had a
good deal of legitimate fun poked
at him as the ''boy orator." but no
one would charge that Beveridge
is anything else than scrupulously
honest, which is more than could
be said for some other members Of
the senate. Several years ago,
after he had made a visit to Ari-
zona and New Mexico, he was sent
$4,000 worth of stock in a mine in
that section. The senator prompt
ly returned the certificates, stating
that he felt it would be improper
for him to accept anything Of the
sort. That $4,000 worth of stock is
now said to be valued at 81 800, 900.

the road, near the Mcdonald House. A
considerable interval separated him
from Baird's left, but this was momen-
tarily expected to be filled by the ar
rival of Negley's other brigades. He
was Immediately attacked by Adams 5
Brigade and portion of Stovall's, and
after bitter fight, in which he drove
the enemy back over the open field. he
saw his long, thin line cut in two by 4
column thrust thru It. The SSth Ind.
and 42d Ind. were separated from him,
and only escaped capture with difficulty.
He also lost one section of Bridges Bat
terry. He continued the fight with the
104th Ill. and 18th Ky.
Stanley's Brigade of Negley's Division
presently arrived and after an obstinate
fight, in which Gen. Adams was wound
ed and captured by the 10th ILL.,, the
enemy was driven back.
Thomas called for reinforcements.
and Rosecrans sent him Van Derveer's
Brigade, from Brannan.
Hill made one more prodigious effort
to carry out the captivating plan of
flanking the Union left, upon which he
had started so hopefully. Colquitt's S
fresh brigade was sent to mis- assistance.
followed by Ector's, Wilson'S. Gist's and
Govan's. He had a front of over two
miles, and issued orders to attack along
it's whole length. with Breckenridge re-
newing the effort to double up the
Union left and take Baird in reverse.
Breckenridge succeeded in overpower-
ing and driving Beatty and Stanley.
whose men broke but the most of taem
drifted over to join Thomas. Breckin-
ridge pushing forward to complete his
victory, came upon Van Derveer, who
had his men lying down waiting until
the enemy was within 100 yards OF
them. Then they rose. delivered rlur-
derous voIley directly in the faces of
Breckinridge'S men, and followed this
by a charge which sent the enemy fly
ing across the fields and thru the woods.
1t was now II o'clock. Bragg was
once more completely foiled. The at
tempt to turn the left had failed. after
two hours of desperate fighting. as dis
astrously as had his yesterdays effort
Breckenridge and Cleburne had been as
badly shattered as Cheatham and Walk
er were.
Bragg must make new dispositions OF
his forces, and he seemed at his VIII S
ends what to do next. His subordi-
mates say that thereafter he lost all con-
troll of the battle. Longstreet wrote the
Confederate Secretary of War that af-
ter ordering the first assault, Bragg
did not do anything that he should have
done. but did everything he should not
have DONE"
With Thomas standing with rock-like
immortality directly across the road to
Chattanooga, with the fight utterly
beaten out of Breckenridge and Gle
burne, with an appalling loss of officers
and men. Bragg was at the end of his
