C Next Sunday, According to Reports—Interesting R. R. Fight. The L, & N.'s Time Will Be Beaten By the I, & C.—Pay Train Due Next Thurs+ Cue of the greatest fights for sus premacy between railroads ever waged {s now on with all its bitter- ness between the Illinois Central and the L. & N. Itis reported of Sec- ond Vice President J, T, Harahan, of Chicago, that he once said he would live to see the day when grass grew up inthe main line of the L. &N,. The two railroads have for some time past been contending with each other for the fastest time between Cincinnati and New Orleans. The Illinois Central, three weeks ago, in- augurated a change of hedule which enabled them to make better time between Louisville and Memphis, reducing it forty-five minutes or more, Shortly before that the L. & N. beat the I. C. from Cincinnati to ‘ew Orleans by two hours, ‘The Il- linois Central did not like this, and immediately changed its time agaiv, reducing the time a few minutes more. This was still ivadequate to the demands, and yesterday another change of schedule took place, chang- ing the time of No. 203, the fast midnight mail train, lessening the time between Louisville and Memphis -five minutes. ‘This places the time just ten minutes under that of her powerful rival, the L. & N., but the Illinois Central is yet dissatisfied, and next Sunday, according to reports, will have an- other time card, beating the L. & N,'s time all hallow. The details of the new card are as yet unknown, but the report in railroad circles, which seems to be reliable, is that in addi- tion to the reduction in time two sec- tions will be run out of Fulton in- stead of one, which will make up thirty or forty winntes, No 203, the fast mail between Cincinnati and New Orleans, will then be a flyer right. She wili go through like “greased lightning’’ from Cincinnati to the Crescent City, making no stops except those that are absolutely neves- sary, She will then not wait for the Chicago fast mail at Fulton, she does now, which will save over half an hour, The second section alluded to above will be the one to take the Chicago passengers south, obviating all delay tothe ‘“flyer.’’ This fast mail will then be oneof the greatest trains in the country. Other changes are also talked of. One is that if needs be No. 203 will not come into Paducah at all, but will be met at the “Y"’ just outside the city, by No. 204, which comes in about the same time, nd all necessary transfers of pas- ngers, baggage, mail, etc., could be made in a short time without the fast train coming into Paducah, thus saving twenty minutes or more. It is also said that the B, & O. can save the 1, C. an hour between Cin- ciovati and Louisville, which would also be a great advantage. Thus the great war against time goes on, and the public stands back atching the furious battle with no little interest, The pay car of the Ilinois {Central will be aere Thursday, and every employe in Paducah will ve his monthly stipend, approaching, and the huntreds of dollars that will be expended from then until after Christinas will great- Oflicer Suth Son Catches Fire, Eugene, the liltle 3-year-old son of OfMicer Dick Sutherland, had a nar- sape from a horrible death J afternoon, The little fel- iow was sitting in a chair near the grate, when an apron on his arm caught fire, The chair and cloth was ina blaze when Ollicer Suther- land rashed in and extinguished the flames, The boy’s face was scorched, but otherwise was uninjured, When found hewas making no effort to get out of the chair, Lecture To-Night.

Andrew's ar- rest by officer Crow was detailed in Saturday’s Sux. He came here from Wingo five or six months sgo, and had been in the chicken business ever since, * Officer Crow found him Saturday morning early in with a basket of chickens, ‘I think Capt, Collins wants some of those chickens,’’ marked officer Crow as he disp! apair of handcuffs, which he pto- ceeded to ailjust to the sagacious but guilty Andrews’s wrists. He made the prisoner carry the basket, and says that on the way he never heard a negro in all his life whistle as loud as Andrew did, He whistled des- perately ancl most incessantly, and it was no doubt a case of whistling to keep his courage up. The officer, after taking Washing- ton to the city hall, visited the small room he rents ina house near the city gravel pit on the North side: He lives with Doc Olden and an aunt, who profess to be in ignorance of his persistent depredations on chicken roosts, although neighbors say the whole aggregation usually stayed up all night. In Washington’s room were found any number of sacks of good chicken feathers, while in a large tub were warm entrails and wet feathers, which when uncovered by the officer still emitted vapor, This tubhe doubt- less emptied in the river after night fall.
