suit involving nesrly million dollars has
been commenced in Jacksonville, Mo for
the famous Carson diamond. The bill alleges
that the diamond, which was discovered by Wm.
Roe. about one hundred years ago, is now in the
hands, Of Thomas NJ. Carson Of Jacksonville,
and prsys for a receiver to be sppointed to cell
the diamond and distribute its proceeds among
the heirs. The diamond is described as being Of
the first water, remarkable for its hardness and
brillancy, ovsl in shape and shout one and a
half inches in diameter one way, and something
greater in diameter the other way ; and it is
worth about $500, 900 The character and great
value of the stone was but recently discovered,
though it kas been in the possession Of the family
for more than hundred years a market for
it will probably be found among the monarehs Of
Europe, if it really proves a diamond Of the first
water, as all tests thus far applied indicate.

The Cincirnsti C3mmereiai, sluding to the
JeL Davis scandal, ssys that there Is perfect
cord in the statements that between Huntsville
and Stevenson. in Alabama. before passing
Brownsooro. which occurs at midnight, remarks
we're overheard By employees of the road to the
effect that Mr. Davis had very uncomfortable
time Of it IN the upper berth Of the sleeping car,
and that hence adjournment was effected and
joint convention Of the lower house called. The
fact that such a convention was called is ncviss
inconsistent with the disclaimer which Mr..
Davis makes, for the statement itself shows that
the only business before the g house :" WAS Mr..
Dsvis's comfort. Only that and nothing more.
This fact established. there should hs prompt
abatement Of the scandal. -

An ENGINEER Of RESOURCES The Bethle-
hem (Pa.) Times says that the g." oldest
locomotive engineer in the United States is
Barney Butz, who now runs an engine on the
Lebanon branch Of the Reading Railroad
Barney was born in Conygham, Lueerne
county Pennsylvania, and went on the Beaver
Meadow Railroad about the year 1885 or 1886
In 1897 he was running an engine from Parry
vile to Weatherly, the planes being then in
operation. The cars were drawn up the planes
by stationary engine, and were then drawn
into the Beaver Meadow mines by 4 locamo-
tive. \ good story is told of Barney S readi-
ness in case Of an emergency One day his
engine would not make steam well, and he
was likely TO be Overtaken by a passenger
train before be could reach the turnout
Seing good sized poker along the track he
Jumped from his engine-tho tram was
moving very slow seized the pig. cut his
throat, and stuffed him into the furnace.
The fat of the pig WAS better than kindling
wood, and in a very short time Barney had
steam up and was out of danger"
