A TERMINAL At
jacksonville
To be Established by l..
& n. for Its Trains.
YARD FOR N. H.& {. AND |. an.
Will be Used JOint:y-AlSO
a Modern New Depot
For Both Roads.
Tie jacksonville Hustler says:


That Madisonville will he made q
terminal Ivy the L. & y. Railroad
Company for the Henderson division
in the near future, is assured and all
doubt in regard to this matter has
been removed and it is the concen-
sus of opinion that the company will
take this step at an early date.
Mention has been made heretofore
Of the L. & y. Railroad Company pur-
chasing land for a right-of-way for its
proposed CUTOFF around Darlington,
which will leave the main track of
the Henderson division near Mortons
Gap, and after making a circuit
around darlington, connect with the
main track near jacksonville. This
will he done by the company with the
idea Of reducing grades and eliminat-
ing curves between jacksonville and
Darlington. There is no question
about it going to be built and the only
thing now hindering the company is
possession of enough land TO enable
them to commence work on the pro-
ject.
The railroad company has purchased
all OF the right-of-way necessary for
building the cutoff between Mortons
Gap and jacksonville. except right
of-way On the Bassett farm east OF
the city. A hitch has occurred but
this will probably be adjusted in a
few days. The company, ii is under
stood, wants to make an eighteen foot
fill nearly a mile long on the proper
ty, and to this the owners are OBJ
jccting.
1t is said that the l.. & y. and NJ,
II. &E railroad companies will build
a joint yard near the fair grounds and
the NJ, dI. & +. shops Will De located
there. 1t is also reported that the
l.. & n. shops will be located at that
point. Freight for Louisville, St
Louis and Chicago, ard other points
will lie shipped from tie joint yards
and the Darlington yards will likely
be used for storage purposes like
those at Edgefield Junction and Cal
70, ILL.,
A new modern depot will in all
likelihood be erected at the junction
Of the l.. & y. and NJ, II. d +. rail
roads or ncarby,which viii probably
be used by both railroads. A modern
roundhouse will also be built and this
may he used by both railroads.
The proposed cut-off will be used
for through travel and passenger
work will probably be the only one
using it, The coal ard chain gang
trains will probably be- het only ones
the road now used, although it may
be decided by the officials to make
up all trains here when the cutoff is
completed.

THE TELEPHONE
METHOD ADOPTED
For Dispatching Trains by
Illinois Central. y
WILL Be GREAT CONVENIENCE
In Railroad WOrk-Line Es.
tabliShed Between Louis
vile and Paducah.

The new and modern telephone
method Of dispatching trains, known
and celebrated all over the country
as the Gross system, is being in
stalled by the Illinois Central Rail-
road Company on its line between
Louisville and Central City. G. H.
Gross, of Chicago, superintendent of
telegraph for the railroad company
and the inventor of the new method,
is personally directing the work, as
sisted by B. Weeks, assistant super
intendent of telegraph. 1t is ex-
pected the new system will be COM
plete between Louisville and Central
City soon, when Mr.. Gross and his
assistant will go to Paducah, and ar
range to install the system between
that point and Central City, connect
ing Louisville and Paducah by means
Of the equipment inside Of fifteen
days.
The telephone system of dispatch
ing trains, although common in many
Of the larger cities Of the country, is
practically new here, having never
been used by any railroad operating
trains in and out of Louisville. Mr..
Gross estimated that it will cost the
Illinois Central about $4,000 to in
stall all the equipment between Louis
vile and Paducah, a distance Of 227
miles.
MI. Gross says that ii is hardly
likely that the company will find it
necessary to cut down its force of
telegraphers on that part of the line
where the new system is being built.
All the operators Of the telegraph
wires the company now has will be
retained, there being sufficient mes
sage work TO keep them employed. AL
so, they can be used TO good advan-
tGge should anything go wrong with
the new system at any time after ii
is placed in operation.
The new method, il is understood
will facilitate the movement of trains
and the handling of shipments to a
very great extent. In other cities
where it has been used TO supplant
the old telegraph system, railroad
authorities declare it has proved its
worth in more ways than one and
doubtless will be used exclusively for
handling trains all over the country.
1t las minimized the annual loss
to the shipping interests and the rail-
roads through wrecks and delays and
enables the dispatchers to keep in
touch with trains at all times while
they are speeding from one station
to another. Orders can be issued
much quicker ard in a safer manner
than was possible before the new in
vention.
The invention being installed by
Mr.. Gross was perfected by himself
after many years of scientific study,
1t has been adopted by many railroads
in other cities and is said to be the
best OF its Kind in eXistence.-[COur-

Two Perfect Men.

There is a man who never drinks,
Nor smokes, nor chews, nor swears
Who never CANDLES, never flirts
And shuns all sinful snares-
He's paralyzed!
There is man who never does
A thing that is not right;
His wife can tell just where he is
At morning, noon and night
He's Dead!

"The Next Five Weeks"

II seems that the Macomb conven-
ton fight has not yet been ended.
Each side, the Berry faction and the
Chiperfield faction, strenuously insists
that it was a glorious victory. The
general impression has been created
that the Hancock county politician
played a pretty trick on the Fulton
county dilettantes in the political
game.
If Chiperfield is correctly quoted, he
let out some statements at Galesburg
recently which are indeed significant
The Mail quotes the Canton politician
as saying:
cit seems to me that the papers and
the friends of Senator Berry are max
ing great deal out of this joke. while
to my mind the joke is ON the other
fellow Now. see here. this joke. as
they call it, is taken everywhere to
mean a big victory for Governor De-
neen and Senator Berry IL that be
true. why should they be complain
ing?
Ineh' as if to emphasize his re-
nhiNs' Chiperfield said: THE fact of
'he matter is that the next five weeks
VIII SHOW whom the joke is on"
NOW, what did Burnie Chiperfield
mean? Harry Waggener, Fulton
county republican and candidate for
circuit Judge. almost lost the election
q through the treason of the party in
his own county. There is an ominous
ring in that sentence as it comes from
Chiperfield. THE fact of the matte,
is that the next, few weeks will show
whom the joke is on
Mr.. Chiperfeld then continued, ac

cording To the Mail: There will be an
awful fight in this contest, and if this
be a Deneen and Berry victory. on
whom will the burden of the fight for
the republican nominee rest? If that
candidate should be defeated, which
is not out of the bounds of reason, on
whom will the odium of the defeat
rest? Not on us, whom they played
this trick on
Evidently the Fulton county poll
tician and soldier has not yet sheathed
his sword Have the Berry and Chip
erfield factions gotten together? The
fateful next few weeks" of which
Chiperfield speaks will probably show
that they have gotten together with
their teeth locked in each others
