2 GENERAL. RAILWAY NEWS. Matters of Money aiul Management About Various Linos. The changing: of the gauge on the Bartow branch of the South Florida railroad was successfully completed Saturday. Raoul station, on the Central railroad, will be abolished.

No freights will hereafter be shipped to that point except by rail. The steamer Laurens will now ply between Dublin and Mount Vernon instead ol between Dublin and Raoul station on the Central, as heretofore. The Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West railway have begun laying the track on the extension of that road from Eanford to Tavares, and will push the work through as rapidly as possible. Capt. Dudley M.

Hughes is in the city en route for New York looking after the interests of the Dublin and Western Short railroad. He is very sanguine, and Spays it is only a question of time as to the of the road. AY. S. Ramsay, Secretary of the Dublin and WrightsvlUe railroad, is in the city ito arrange with President Raoul, of the iCentral, tor a consolidation ol the Dublin land rtgbtsville, and Wrightsville and Tennille railroads, which will no doubt be done, making but one road from Ten- Xiille to Dublin.

Apopka aail Gulf. The construction of the Tavares, Apop- Ita and Gulf railroad, commencing at Tavares and ending at Marco, on the Gulf, seventy miles nearer Key West than any other railroad terminus, is making rapid progress.

Traok laying has begun, and the outters are getting out nearly a jnile of ties per day. The road will ho Joompleted. at thie rate, to Kissimmee by 'Jan. 1. The route thence is down the valley, past a multitude of flakes, touobtng Lake Okeeobobee at Fort Center, thence along the Caloosahatchee to Port head of navigation for eea-going vessels, and then, turning southward, stretches along the Gulf coast 100 or 160 miles to Marco.

The enterprise Is backed by a powerful railway -syndicate, and will in time be consummated. The recently projected Tavares and Palatka railroad Is a link in the same (great chain, wbiob will hnd one of its jermini here at the head of ocean navigation on one side ot the peninsula, and on the other, at Marco, on the Guir of Mexico. Facts for Travelers. An examination of an article in Manual on the railroads of the United will prove very instructive. It appears that the total leDgth of railroad tracks in this country up to Dec.

31,1886, was miles. This would make a railroad winding around the earth at the equator five times, and leave enough track for an extension to the oeutreof the earth. If pointed out into space it would reuen more than half way to the moon. The total liabilities of all these roads amount to only $8,073,673,394, while their assets are but $214,261,220 more than this. The total train mileage of all roads reported was but 660,173,865.

The number of passengers carried was 351,427,088, which, if things were run according to the views of the Socialists, would have given every man, woman and child in the United States six rides on the railroad last year. The total mileage of these pas- was 9,138,673,956 miles, or an average of only thirty miles each. Tons moved were 487,040,099, or tons moved one mile, 49,151,894,469, or only the one hundred-thousandth part of the weight of the earth, which is nearly 6,000 trillion tons. The earnings from the passengers were only $200,883,911, which would average less than 60c. ech or only 2c.

a mile. The number of deadheads is not given, an important omission. The net earnings of the roads were only $266,488,993, or about $2,000 to the mile of track. WITH RECORDS. Results of the Five Events of the Day at Latonia Park.

Look at Appel A adverusemeat In formal opening, Saturday, Get Ait BLIND TOM AND HIS MOTHER. Appealing in Vain to the New York Career. From the Sew York Tribune. Blind Tom, the colored pianist, is said by bis mother, Charity Wiggins, to be of weak mind, and she made an unsuccessful application to Justice Donohue yesterday to have committees of his person and estate appointed. The Judge held that the court had no jurisdiction, and that her application should be made to a court in Virginia, which has already taTen action in regard to the case.

In her petition she says that Blind Tom was born in 1849, in Georgia. She and bis father, Mingo Wiggins, were slaves. James M. Betbune was their last owner, having purchased them when Tom was four months old. They lived with him in Georgia until the war made them free.

In 1865 the father and mother agreed with Bethuno that he should have Tom for five years, at the end of which he would attain nls majority. Bethune exhibited Tom as a pianist and in 1876 he was brought to this city. Then Betbune. without the consent of parents and without giviug them notice, took him to Virginia, where he gave concerts. There Betbune took proceedings, the result of which was that the blind pianist was adjudged to be a lunatic, and son, John 0., was appointed a committee of his person and acted as his manager until bedted in 1884, James N.

Bethune next took proceedings in North Carolina, and was himself appointed a oommittee ot the person. When father (lied his mother left Georgia and came to this city. By order of the United States Court for the Eastern district of Virginia she was unpointed ol her son. Then she sued Bethune for an accounting in regard to the moneys earned by Tom since June, 1865. in that suit, which is still pending at Alexandria, Betbune has been ordered to make a report of the moneys received to the court.

The mother declares that Tom was never married, and that she is bis next of kin. Corroborating affidavits by Albert J. Lerolie, a Virginia lawyer, and Mrs. Alice Bethune were presented. The latter bad charge of Tom lor seven years.

Both assert that he is ldlotio and inoapable of managing himself and bis affairs. MAPS FOR DOCTORS. How a Physician Must Now and Then Dissemble His Opinion. From the Ijondon Truth. A doctor may very easily make a fair reputation and a good deal of money without much knowledge of medicine; for this reason, that the science of medicine is a closed book to the vulgar.

When a man dies, none of the friends (unless there chance to be a inquest) know in the least degree what killed him. And if you call in some great medical gun at the last moment, the great medical gun Is sure (indeed, I believe by theetiauette of the profession he is bound) to tell you that your doctor has the case most On the other hand, when a sick man gets well, no one knows what cured him, and was, perhaps, on the wrong tack throughoutgets all the credit. Thus, the almost the in which a doctor can convince his patients that he is wise and knowing in his prolession is by showing them that he is a clever and wellinformeu man out of his profession. Of bis soience as a doctor they are not in a position to judge; but, if he talks sensibly about subjeots which they do not and shares, and pictures, and last debate in Parliament, and has fair luck with bis casesthen his patients will trust and swear by him. I remember one very sad illustration of the injury which a doctor does bimseli who drops behind in bis general information.

A friend of mine who bad married a wife from the county Westmeath (in those days a very district) came borne one afternoon from the Stock Exchange and fouud the lady in a terrible state of excitement, piling the fire with pill boxes, and throwing mixture as out of the window. On investigation, it turned out that the doctor had called, and in the course of conversation had innocently and casually inquired: is this habeas corpus, can you tell me. Mrs. Blank, which they talk of suspending in To a lady who had grown up from childhood with the habeas corpus perpetually suspended over her like a drawn sword, the ignorance thus displayed was too shocking. Not a drop of that medicines, she declared vehemently, should ever pour down the throats of her children.

his shows, 1 think, that, the sensible doctor will do well to look into a book occasionally, and to read the morning of course, not the leading articles. This 1h a punishment reserved exclusively for the editor. FORMS OF VERTIGO, Symptoms which Scare Pt'rsons Often Dangerous. From the Companion. Vertigo is from a Latin word that means to turn.

It denotes an ailment characterised by a sudden feeling of dizziness, and ot times by actual tailing. Sometimes surrounding objects seem to the person attacked to whirl around, or the floor or ground to rDe up. The (act that vertigo is often one ot the earlier symptoms of apoplexy frequently fills the person with terror, lest that disease way be Impending. Rut in the majority of cases it has no euoh significance, not even as indicating a tendency. One form of vertigo, a very perslstroent form, is due to irritation of certain nerves within the Inmost chamber of the ear, the so-called labyrinth.

This was what Dean Swift suffered from so long, and, to the physicians of his day, so unaccountably. One of its svmptoma is teinnorary dealness. This distinguishes It from all other tonne. Another form connects itself mainly with the eye. Of this kind is the feeling of giddiness whtob some people have when, being on a train at rest, another train slowly passing deceives them into the idea that it is their own train which has begun to move.

The giddluessoccurs at themoment when the false and true sensations beoome oonfased together. In the case of the near-sighted the internal muscles of the eye, often being unduly strained in their efforts to converge iho eyes sufficiently for the sight of near objeois. suddenly give way. when the eyeballs turn out and the letters run into each other. This is accompanied with a feeling ot giddiness, eyeache, beadaobe and sometimes nausea.

A third form connects itself witb some slight disorder of the stomach, and occurs most often when the stomach is empty. There is a sudden swimming in the bead, objects seem to revolve and tbe person totters and perhaps lulls. A fourth form is purely of nervous origin, and is due to nervous exhaustion. It may be caused by intellectual overstrain, long-continued anxiety, physical excesses, or tne immoderate use of tobacco, alcohol or tea. Elevated positions may bring on an attack, it rarely results in actual tailing, but oftensr in the leeling of being about to (all, Deservlug of Confidence.

A STRANGE SUICIDE. A Young Man Hangs Himself in a High Tree Top. From the Cheittonooja Times. The inhabitants of the little village ot Bridgeport, on the line of the Nashville and Chattanooga 'railroad, twenty-five miles from this city, were thrown into a great state of excitement yesterday afternoon bv the disoovery of the dead body of a well known young man named Allin Holly, hanging in the top of a tree. The suicide was a very singular one, and the motive which prompted the young man to take his own life is shrouded in mystery.

home Is in Texas, but ne came to South Pittsburg two months since on a visit to relatives. Two weeks after his arrival his elder brother, L. W. Holly, who lives near Bridgeport, was taken dangerously ill with fever, and the young man went to bis bedside and remained with him until he was convalescent. Five weeks ago last Saturday night young Holly bid bis brother and family a cheerful good night and went to his room.

He was never again seen alive. The next morning he was gone and the family supposed he had returned to South Pittsburg until the awful discovery was made yesterday. Holly undoubtedly hung himself the night he disappeared, as the rope he used was missing the following day from his house. He went about three hundred yards from his house and climbed to the top of a tall beech tree, covered with thick loliage. On a stout limb be fastened the rope, and then tied It soeurelv around his neck.

When he swung off the limb he fell about fifteen feet, as was indicated by the length of the rope, and his neck was broken by the fall. Yesterday afternoon a young man named Thomas, while out squirrel hunting, saw the body hanging in the tree. He gave an alarm and in a short time the body was cut down. It presented a most revolting and sickening spectacle. The body had been hanging for five weeks and was in a greatly advanced state of decomposition, while his eyes bad been pioked out and the flesh torn from the face and neck bv the buzzards.

The remains of the unfortunate man were conveyed to his residence, and will be buried to-day. Holly was 25 years ol age and leaves a wife and two children In Texas. The Passengers. Halifax, Oct. dispatch from St.
