ARVONIA, VA. September 1o.-The
Franklin Trust Company of New York
has recently had recorded in the clerk
office of the Fluvanna County Court
house mortgage upon the Virginia
Air Line Railway in the sum of 100000.
1t appears FROM the records that the
mortgage is due Nin thirty years. With
interest at per cent. annually. The
length of the road from Lindsay, on
the main line of the Chesapeake and
Ohio. to Upper Bremo, on the James
River Division, is thirty miles.
Nine or ten contractors are now en-
gagged in building the road through
Fluvanna county. They have a large
force of men and ample machinery.
The roadbed has practically been COM
pleted from Lindsay to Palmyra, about
a third of the entire length, and track
laying will begin without delay. 1t is
thought that trains will be running
into Palmyra from the North by De-
cember 1st.
Complete Ronl by May.
South of Palmyra large forces OF
men are working all along. the line
There is some rough work yet to be
done, but those who appear to be in
formed say the entire road will be COM
pleted by May LIST If the winter is a
fairly open one.
The Virginia Air Line will join the
James River Division at Upper Bremo
the elegant ancestral home of the
Cooke family. Here a station Will be
erected, though arrangements have al
ready been made to take the trains
into Bremo station. the terminus OF
the buckingham Branch of the Chesa
peake and Ohio.
There Is. scarcely q doubt that ar
Engagements will be made to have either
through trains between Arvonla ane

have close passenger, mail and express:

History in an Ancient Log.

As an evidence of the unstable

NAV be cited the case of an ancient
tree from the state of Washington, a
section of the trunk of which was
years ago forwarded TO the museum
at the national capital.
The growth rings" OF this trunk
indicate that the tree was more than
900 wears old when il was cut down.
some time in 1885. An official of the
museum recently called attention 10
the fact that about twenty of the
annual rings of growth, marked the
latter part of the first hundred years
of the trees existence. are crowded
together in an extraordinary manner.
indicating thai during those twenty
years some cause was in operation
greatly retarding the growth Of the
tree. On looking into the matter
this official found that nearly al the
time when the tree in question was
