Heavy HoIlday TraveI.

Like a great tidal wave the Christmas travel rushed on the local railroads yesterday and the result was an utter annihilation of through train sched- uIea.
 The local trains had about the big gest business in their history. Every one of the morning trains came In with extra cars all loaded to their capacity. going out the same way, and from morning until night the union station was a seethinE mass of humanity. Lo- cal timecards were kept intact, but through schedules were broken.
 The Western Railroad was kept busy running extra trains all cav and part of last night on account of the South ern on one end and the Louisville and Nashville on the other. The South- ern train No. 35, due in Atlanta at 5 o'clock yesterday morning, reached there at o'clock last night. fourteen hours late, The Western brings that connection to Montgomery as train No. a6 at l0:55 a. ri., and came In on time yesterday morning with madehp train out of Atlanta. the Louisville and Nashville No. taking only the Allan ta Pullman to New Orleans.
 Last night the Western Railroad had four extra trains to and from Atlanta Train No. s7. due here at s:2o p. m |. came in last night in three sections. The first section was regular No. S7. made up in Atlanta. The second sec tion'was the conectio of the delayed Southern connection due at o'clock yesterday morning and the third sec tion was the connection of the South ern. No. 37 which was i've hours late. The Louisville and Nashville train No. { from New Orleans came to Montgom- cry In two sections last night. the first one hour late and the second four hours late. The Western train No. SC, which takes this connection to Att lanta, ran two sections out with the two delayed conections of the LouiS- vile and Nashville train.
 The cause of the delay on the Louis- viIle and Nashville was the flood og Texas travel from Texas and the West The rush today promises to be even heavier than that Of yesterday. and the railroads have begun pressing freight engines into use on the passenger runs.

 Revolution.

HeVOtu1AOns
 Port of Spain, Trinidad, Dec. 2O.- Latest Caracas adviees indicate that President Castro is much worse and 1t is even claimed that he cannot live more than week longer
 Should he die First Vice-President Gomez will immediately assume the presidency and will be supported by a large section of the army. President Castro has been making strenuous ef- forts to compromise the differences between the Gomez party and the party headed by General Alcantara, President of the State of Aragua, but the endeavor has been a failure as AL cantara has been supported by some of the oEher Presidents of the interior States,
 He has accumulated large army and is determined not to recognize Gomez, hui to raise a revolution for the pur- pose of obtaining the presidency.
 Tn the meanwhile the rebel force headed by General Rafael Montilla' which recently captured Barauesmito (16O miles from Caracas1 is daily in- creasing in strength.
