Another Narrow Gauge Railway.

We understand that charter has lately been
obtained by a number of citizens of Jefferson
county, to construct narrow gauge railway
from Noisy Creek to cambridge, distance of
about ten miles. Commissioners have viewed
out the route, and think that good road can be
built without a great expense. Mr.. G. B.
Ger, and lately student of East Tennessee
University, has been appointed to make the sur
yey. He proposes to commence the survey to-
morrow, and the work is to be completed as
quickly as possible.
This road will be of great value to the county
of Jefferson, and especially to the town of Dam
bridge and the rich country of the French
Broad in that vicinity The great quantities of
corn and other products of the farmers of
more commodious avenue to market than bv

We take pleasure in bearing testimony to
spirit of enterprise in whatever field it may be
presented. Maj. Thos. OConner, although
his entire stock was in imminent danger, of be-
ing consumed by fire, and although his materi-
al was very much damaged, only last week, he
has adjusted his losses, and gone to work in his
saddle and harness mandatory in earnest.
The short time required for him to go into OPP
perations, after such arrangement of his bust
ness, is evidence that his course is governed by
that system which is q sure precursor of success

MURDER IN FENTREss COUNTY.
United States Mnrshaiwoods KiIlcd.

Some time ago an account was given of the
swindlng ofthe celebrated Tinker Dave Beatie
out of a large amount of back pay and bounty
granite by special act Of Congress. The
swindle was on such large scale that Deputy
United States Marshal John Woods was in
structed toinvestigate the matter and bring the
guilty party to justice.
We learn from gentleman just from Fen
tress county that something over week ago,
Mr.. Woods, in pursuance of his instructions,
arrested the Sheriff of the county man
named Strohmer, and another fellow for COM
plicity in the grab game. The arrest WAS made
in a saloon at Jimtown, and before leaving the
Sheriff became displeased at the language of the
Marshal, and said, '..
IF was armed you would not dare to talk
SO to me-"
:, You shan't have that excuse" said the
Marshal III arm you" and presented a pis-
tol, holding the handle toward him
Before the Sheriff could take hold of it, how
over, several of the bystanders, friends OF the
prisoners, fred on Marshal Woods, several balls
taking effect and killing him instantly
Our informant stated that the Sheriff had left
that part of the country, and had not been seen
since, nor was it known where he had gone.

a Brisk Trade.

We learned yesterday from farmer who
lives few miles from town, that very recently
man came from the vicinity of New Market
driving before him TO the market of this city
two well fed yearling kline When he reached
our informant's residence, he expressed a will
lingness to trade, and, as no offered the cattle
cheap. they were bought for the small sum of
six dollars.
Our cattle driver then came on with a light
heart and heavy purse until he reached the
store of Mr.. G. NJ. Roberts, in the suburbs of
East Knoxville, where a good supply of dry
goods meeting his eyes, he was reminded that
family supplies must be purchased, and accord
ingly pair of shoes and other articles were bar
gained for, and in settling up the BILL it occur
red to our hero that it would be right clever
stroke of business and a savingof money to put
in the calves at five dollars and half, which he
did, telling Mr.. Roberts that they were at the
farm of the first gentleman on pasture.
He returned home, no doubt thinking that he
was a sharp fellow. Whether he was or not, the
court may vet decide.

a New Tree.

A new kind of n tree has made its appearance
in Blount County, for which no name has yet
been found. The first of this species was dis
covered in the woodland, near the farm of Mr..
p. H. Clark, last sum Ger. Since then two 9th =
ers have been found-ono at Rockford, and an
other on the farm of w. ID. Mckinley Esq,
near haryyille. These trees are about two
years old. In some respects they are like the
catalpa tree, which may account for the fact
that they have not been noticed before; but there
talpa when seen together. For instance, the
catalpa leaf is heart-shaped, while the leaf of
this tree has five distinct points, like the leaf of
maple. The leaves, too, are much larger-four
or five times as large. The growth ofthese trees
is very rapid. Ashley are not vet grown, very
little can be determined as to their character
1t will be safe, perhaps, TO say that they will
make good shade trees. Will some one give us
q name for it? b.

Only seventy-nine Years Ago.

We learn from history that on this day 10th
july, seventy years ago. at the house of
John Stone, in the town of Knoxville, the first
County Court of Knox county was held. 1t is
recorded in these words: THE first court held,
was on the 10th of July. 1892 Present--James
White, Samuel Newell David Craig and Jere-
miah Jack James White was appointed chair
man"
About the same time, we also find that roads
were ordered to be laid off from Knoxville, re-
spectively, to the ford on Clinch, to Campbell
Station and to mouth of French Broad The
country was then comparatively a wilderness.
What change has been wrought and that,
too, within the lifetime of persons now living

We yesterday conversed with n young son of
Gen. Cooper who with another boy, was going
out to Coal Creek to engage in making black
berry wine for market He informed us that
he had already made 200 gallons and intended
making 200 gallons more. The berries are very
abundant in that section. This is what we call
enterprise How many of our old fields which
have been turned out to be overgrown with briar
thickeSs might be made valuable if our farmers
would only prove energetic and business-llce
during the berry season.
