MARI FEVER

MAASTR1CHT, Netherlands, April 7.-What gold was to the California forty-niners, limestone mari is, on a smaller scale, to the inhabitants of Southern Limburg. Claims are being staked, deals in rights" are plentiful on the "marl exchange" and every one who owns few square yards of land is busy working his little mari mine, if he has nothing more to do it with than pickaxe, a spade and hand barrow. In short, every South Limburger has caught the marl fever, and talks about nothing else.

PAY TRAIN THING OF PAST ON L.
& n

Owing to the fact that the law pass
ed by the last session of the Ken
lucky Legislature requires the rail-
roads to pay twice month instead of
once month as they had previously
done, the Louisville & Nashville rail
road has dispensed with the pay train
from which the employees of the road
got their salaries and they will
hereafter be paid by checks. These
checks are made payable on local
banks. and are forwarded to the gen.
eral agent of each town where they
are distributed to the employees. This
greatly reduces the expenses Of the
road and facilitates the way of pay
ing off.
