ANOTHER PROPOSED
RAILROAD
West New Orleans & Riverside South
ern Railway Will Ask For
Franchise.

4 few weeks ago The Herald pub
lished the charter and the amend
ment to the charter OF what is nov
known as the West New Orleans d
Riverside Southern Railway. This
is formed for the object
and purpose of building a railroad to
start at Canal street ferry house, 90
ing on Bouny street to Delaronde.
thence to Bermuda, to Eliza, thence
Vallette to Newton and over the via
duct to Behrman street, thence along
Behrman street to the outfall drain
age canal for some distance to pro-
perty now being exploited by Jos. w.
Blythe, known as the Riverside sub
division.
The company is incorporated for
one hundred thousand dollars. J.
Kenton Bailey. who is the attorney
for the company and also one OF the
members of the corporation, stated
that it would not be an electric line,
but that they would ask for a fran
chise for the right of way and that
motor cars would be used. doing away
with the necessity of having a power
station, which would relieve them of
considerable expense. Application
will be made to the city government
for the franchise, and in working out
their plans it was particularly taken
into consideration that the route
through Algiers would not conflict
with the present car line and that it
would cover an entirely new territory
in one of the most beautiful sections
of what we call down the coast"
Some OF the incorporators of the
company are: Joseph \. Blythe, j.
Kenton Bailey, F. y. Kinsman, c. w.
| Vacher, \. G.. Muninger and VI. Ais
man.
Mr.. Bailey stated that the company
was not organized for the purpose of
stock jobbing, but it was organized
especially to boost the local lands in
which many of our people are inter
Tested. Mr.. Bailey pointed out that as
a general rule railroads are not built
in a country already populated, and
that ii was the building of the railroad
and the operating of the same that
caused the country to develop. 1t is
for this reason that Mr.. Blythe and
Mr.. Aisman and several other large
owners in that vicinity are especially
interested in this undertaking.
A line of this kind will bring the
lower coast into easy communication
with Algiers and it is our hope that
the new enterprise will soon material
ize and that the franchise will be
granted, subject to conditions that will
guarantee the building of the road
If the new company would build along
the outfall drainage canal. provided
1.-THE levees of the canal could be used
the company would have a fine road
bed to begin with, which would save &
considerable amount of expense.
Whether or not this road will come
anywhere near the Plaquemines-Jeff
erson drainage pumps has not beer
stated, but the real terminus as showr
on some of the blueprints on maps be
longing TO Jos. 4. Blythe, is in th'
vicinity of the Mississippi river abou
live miles down the coast

, tage and the German retreat was ac.
celerated.
The second part of the German at
tack was being carried out upon the
| southeastern defenses. The German
troops sought to make their way be-
tween the Belgian positions on the
huy side. They also attacked forts
boncelles and Embourg, but en-
countered entanglemeats and were
retarded. They continued their adj
vance and made a direct attack which
failed. Their losses were heavy.
! THE Belgians defending the inter-
val number only $500 and they fell
back mile and quarter. General
Leman threw all his troops which
were not engaged upon that part OF
against the attack. 1t was night and
fierece bayonet fighting ensued. The
enemy was held back.
I'm the obsecurity there was some
confusion and one small German
column of infantry entered the city.
The German officer wore an un-
dress cap to deceive the Belgians.
He spoke English. To complete the
deception his men carried the rifles
at their shoulders. They got 10

quarters when the gendarmes recog.
nized them and opened fire. Violent
street fighting followed and the Ger
mans were driven out of the city.

and the interval between Forts Fle-

with obstacles and the artillery fire
from the Belgian forts was very well
