balloon ascension from this city this afternoon. She
was carried out over Lake Ontario after throwing
out everything to keep up, hoping to strike a cur
rent that would carry her back over the laud. She
saw a tug on the lake, apparently following ner.
She then opened the valve and came down in the
water, about Eeven miles from the land, clinging to
the balloon. She was dragged through the water
several miles, and was finally picked up in a very
exhausted condition by a tug which w»s on the
lake with an excursion party about seventeen miles
west of the city. She was in the water nearly an
hour.
Shot by a Beauttrul Brunette.
Algiers, La., July 7. —A tragedy which occurred
here last evening, resulting in the aeath of Louis
Burger, twenty two years of age. has caused great
excitement in this place. His slayer is a beautiful
brunette named Ruth Ford, nineteen years of age.
At the time ol the shooting Burger was walking
with two voung ladies, when he was suddenly faced
by Miss Ford, who drew a pistol and fired. Burger
fell and died soon after the shooting. Miss Ford
was arrested. Sne made a statement to the effect
that Burger had been her lover, had betrayed her
under promise of marriage and had then deserted
her. Miss Ford’s family has been thrown into the
deepest grief by the unfortunate aff air. In spite of
the terrible character of her crime not a little sym
pathy with the young woman is expressed by the
citizens. '

instead of higher up. as has been proposed.
St. Marys has as Sne a harbor as can be found
in the south, for it does not only embrace
Cumberland sound and river, but the Amelia,
St. Marys, Jolly and North river, skirting the
city on the east. \Then the jiettie s that are
being rapidly constructed in the St. Marys
bar are completed, it will give twenty-one feet
of water on the bar at low tide with a rise
of seven feet. The citizens of St. Marys,dream
of the time when she, rising in view of the
billows of the Atlantic, fanned as she is by
the fresh and bracing breezes irom the sea,
with her springs of sparkling: waters and
shady groves, will become-the great summer
ing place for the up-country,as she is now fast
becoming a favorite winter resort fornortbern
people. From Hart’s Road a railroad runs
directly to Jacksonville, Florida. This great
corporation known as the Thontas-Seney syn
dicate has, as its representative in the con
struction department in this section, Major
W. V. McCracken, who has- proven by his
management in building the Cincinnati and
Georgia railroad, to be one- of the most
rapid builders of railroads in- America.
Colonel J. H. Woodward, well known as
“Jayhawker,” of the Cincinnati Enquirer,
looks after the development of the country
through which the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia and Cincinnati and Georgia rail
road pass; and ts say that he is its complete a
success in this business as he was a news
paper correspondent, is but the truth. Be
tween Atlanta and Macon, 87 miles, the grad
ing is finished, and on the glorious Fburtli the
first train will run through. This division of
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railroad will not be opened for business, how
ever, until August 1st. The work, between
Rome, Georgia, and Atlanta, has beendetain-
ed on account of a tunnel, of 900 feet, nean
Rockmart, but through trains will runibefore
November 1st. The Red Clay and Ooltewah
cut-off, makes this line from Chattanooga,
via Rome and Atlanta, to Macon, about 14>
miles shorter titan by existing roads. and the
same distance that it is to Savannah.
GEORGIA PACIFIC.
Major R. H. Temple, chief engineer of- the
Georgia Pacific railroad, has extended the
track to to a point 32 miles west of Atlanta.
In a few days Villa Rica, 36 miles distant,
will have a train. The grading has been-
largely completed to Anniston, Ala., on the
Selma-, Rome and D-lton division of the East
Tennessee and Georgia 'railroad, about 100
miles from Atlanta. This road is the one
Atlanta needs more than all others, os it will
run through inexhaustible coal fields between
Anniston and Birmingham. Cheap grate and
steam coal, now that the streets are being
paved, is alt that Atlanta needs to make it
the chief city of the south in population,
it now is in pluck.'
THE CHEROKEE
is fast looming up as an important factor in.
the railroad system. Under the ‘splendid-
financial management of Colonel A. G. West,
assisted by Major John Post ell, who, aa chief!
engineer and manager, has displayed great
railroad ability, the business of this railroad
has been quadrupled. An engineer corps is
now in the field locating a line to Birming
ham, Ala., from the present terminus at
Cedar town, Ga. The valuable coal lands
owned by this road will then be opened and
a connection with the East Tennessee, Vir
ginia and Georgia system, at Rockntart, willi
give to Atlanta another coal road The own
ers of this road, we understand, intend to
extend their line from the eastern terminus
Cartersville, Ga.,to Gainesville, Ga., there
connect with the Richmond and Danville
and Jug Tavern lines. This latter extension
would open up heavy deposits of iron ore and
manganese in Bartow county.
THE -ICG TAVERN.
Colinel A. D. Candler, the tireless, working
president, has the Jug Tavern Branch of the
Gainesville, Jefferson and Southern railroad
completed to Jug Tavern. Our best informa
tion is that this branch will be extended to
Monroe, where it meets the Walton County
railroad, ten miles long, connecting with the
Georgia railroad at Social Circle, 119-miles
west of Augusta and 52 miles east of Atlanta.
The main line is within eight miles of Jeffer
son. No definite action as to extending
from Jefferson to Athens has yet been
taken. The Athens people, however,
seem determined to build from Athens to
Jug Tavern, which enterprise, we suppose,
will be backed .by the Georgia railroad - com-
jany, as the latter company is now building
■its road across the Oconee river into Athens
proper. The country through which the
above roads run is one of the’ finest agricul
tural regions in Georgia. At Jug Tavern
there is a fine stone quarry and building ma
terial equal to Quincy granite. It is astonish
ing that Atlanta has never built a road to
Athens via Jug Tavern, and now it requires
but little effort and we will have a road to
that point, as Jug Tavern is only 42 miles in
an air-line from Atlanta.
THE OAINEVILLE AND DAIILONEGA
is a prime necessity to Georgia. The great
and inexhaustible gold fields of north Geor
gia can never be worked to advantage until a
rail communication is established. The yield
of gold bullion now is over one million an
nually. The gold mills that have recently
been put up have all modem appliances and
are making handsome profits. Dahlonega
25 miles from Gainesville, a flourishing city
on the Atlanta division of the Richmond and
Danville railroad. The wagon road now
is a great drawback. Over half a million
pounds of machinery is now at the Gaines
ville depot awaiting transportation to the
gold mines. Colonel W. P. Pnce, the inde
fatigable president of the Gainesville and
Dahlonega railroad, is the most public-spir
ited man in the mountain regions and he is
driving the work of building. The building
of the bridge across the Chattahoochee river
“has delayed work some time. The expecta
tion is that 15 miles of track will be laid this
summer. This will bring it to the Chestatee
river.
THE NORTB EASTERN
track is at Tallulah Falls, Georgia, 16 miles
north of Rabun Junction, on the Richmond
and Danville railroad. These falls are to be the
southern Chautauqua. The Sunday-schools
of A merica will here congregate and the name
of Colonel W. J. Houston will be to the asso
ciated hosts of children of America what
General W.' B. Shattuc’s has become. The
salubrity of the climate and grandeur of the
falls and scenery will induce thousands of
sight-seers annually. Mr. W. N. Foreacre,
son of Colonel G. J. Foreacre, is roadmaster,
and is walking in the footsteps of his distin
guished father. Major H. R. Bernard, the
energetic superintendent, is pushing every
thing towards completion.
The survey of the extension of the Roswell
railroad, from Roswell to Cumming, is being
made. The present track extends from
Chamble post-office, (or Roswell junction) on
the Atlanta division of the Richmond and
his constant personal supervision. This road
lhree-fert gauge, and penetrates a
country filled with marble quar
ries equal in fineness to Italian. Wild eherry
and'black walnut exist in great abundance;
and- the demand for these woods in the man
ufacture of fine furniture will give the mad a
heavy traffiit: George R. Eager, of Boston, is
the yresider.4, and lie lias furnished liberally
toward- building this greatly needed road.
Gold and copper mines, as well as soapstone,
are iu great numbers. No road in the south-
lias a setter future. It will stop at Murphy,

C., to President IE T. Verdery, who has now
turned bit-eyes towards Elberton, Ga., and
the next thing we expect to hear will be that

been taken up-by him and work' commenced
on a branch line from the Augustaand Knox

it and will indorse President Verdery in his
efforts.

a projected line, with seven- miles graded.
It is to run front- Naylor, on the Savannah,
Florida.and Western, through Milltown and
Nashville, in-Berrien county, Georgia, and
northward in the direction of Macon. When
completed to Macon thiB will make a cutoff
for Florida travel. Horn James Bernks, for
merly of Atlanta), is the active director. The
Savannah, Florida- and Western railroad, we
learn, will iron the road.
TUB BUENA. VISTA,
sifter getting $40,060 subscriptions Isas stopped
efforts to build, owing to some hitch with the
Central railroad. Atlanta ought to build to
Talbottou. and thence via Bbstick Junction,
on the Central railroad, over the 4 proposed
Bltena Vista railroad'and thence to Americus
Eufaula, as such a line is needed. We have
heard some hints that- an Atlanta company is
being formed to build this line. We suppose
that northern capitalists are the real project
ors.
THE PENSACOLA AND ATLANTIC
altlvthongh running entirely in-west Florida,
from Pensacola to Chattahoochee, was the
great need of southwest Georgia. No man
understood this better titan Colonel W. I).
Chipley, who drew the charter’ and by his
untiring efforts has pushed 160- miles-of rail
road through a wilderness of virgin pine
forests, broken at differents points by heavy
swamps and wide streams. Track lay tag .was
commenced at four different points. Locomo
tives and iron were- transported by
barges to these points. Work has
been, hurried up- and now the
prospect is that the traveler, returning from
lis winter sojourn in Florida next spring,
will hae homeward over the Ftuaacnla and
Atlantic. Colonel H. S. Haines, wbo has for
years managed the Savannah, Florida and
Western, is seeing the dream ofi his life ac
complished, as he is rapidly pushing the ex
tension of his road from Bainoridge, Georgia,
to-Chaittahoochee, Florida, at which latter
point be will meet the Pensacola and Atlan
tic,. and form part of the great through line
from, the Pacific via New Orleans to Savannah,
Georgia.
