We are glad to know that the trolly

A RAILROAD CROSSING.
Vice President of North :
Eastern Refuses to Grant
Request.

Last Saturday afternoon Vice
President Ford, Of the N. 0. & N E.
Railway, with Superintendent Flagni-
gan, came to Ellisyille BY special
train to talk over the crossing Of
their track at grade by the trolly
line Our municipal authorities and
several representative citizens were
named as a delegation to meet these
gentlemen and talk over the situa-
lion. The pow-wow took place in MIR
Ford's special car. He had with him
also his engineer, while the trolly
line was represented by Mr.. Holli-
man, superintendent.
Mr.. Ford at length went over the
situation and wound upby astatement
that there was hut two things to do:
First, that his railroad would put a
81, 900 steel bridge across the track
over the cut above the depot; and
second, before permitting the trolly
line to cross their track at grade
they would carry the case to the
Supreme Court of the United States,
and then by entering the protest, if
any damage suits occurred that the
trolly line must bear the cost and not
his line.
Mr.. Ford stated that they were
putting in block system, and to
grant the request would entirely dis
arrange its workings at this point
He said he had an understanding
with Mr. Jones, of the trolly line, by
which his road was to cross on
bridge, and he was entirely content
that it do this, and the trolly line
could also use their right of way.
The committee told Mr.. Ford that
a bridgewas altogether impractical, as
property owners in town would never
consent to have trestle built along
side their homes; and then the grade
would be entirely to steep. 1t would
also ruin two streets for travel.
Nothing was accomplished, but the
President of the N. O. & N. e. will
matter will again be taken up. From
the present outlook, it seems that
some time must elapse before the
trolly line enters the business section
of Ellisville.
Our people do not understand why
the same rule that Mr.. Ford applies
to Ellisville should not also apply 10
the trolly line crossings at Hatties-
burg and Laurel.
1t is hoped when the President OF
occasion was complete success ana
will do much to strengthen the bonds
of friendship between the two cities,
now united by the electric railway.
Everything passed off in the happiest
manner.

for getting up this meeting, ana II
was certainly GROWING success
