PooR PROSPECT 1t is stated that
the surplus wheat Of California viii
come near supplying half the amount
demanded by the United Kingdom
the present year, and the aggregate
receipts at British ports from other
sources have already greatly exceeded
the quantity usually received at this
season of the year. This being true
there would seem but little prospect
of an early advance in the price of
wheat on the Pacific coast.

Judge Shattuck, that when the latter,
at the close of Mr.. Hare's remarks,

very severely if not fatally injured.
He was struck repeatedly by the un-

Pullman's sleeping Car. The train
was Immediately stopped and the pas

Ne,cs, returned TO where he was w..

cut below the knee, we saw no mark
of "iolence but he was complaining
greatly of his back, saying: "Oh.
my back, my back" We believe he
was fatally hurt, but the favorable
fact that the train was merely start

Of his recovery.

ABINGDON TRIUMPH!


Mr.. T. G.. Mcconnell has at length
admitted an anxious public to enter
tainment to his magnificent new
Hotel. The Colonnadc is the largest
and most imposing hotel building be-
tween Richmond and Chattanooga.
1t has cost the enterprising proprietor
So. 1000, and may be justly regarded
rs the pride and boast of Abingdon
The plan of the building is in many
respects admirable and is probably
tho most convenient and pleasant that
has met with practicable exemplifi
cation in this country. There are
over one hundred finished apartments
The dining hall is a model of good
taste and comfort. The basement is
we'll arranged, and the rooms arc
well ventilated and lighted. If the
halls could have been wider it would
have been an improvement. In the
rear of the building there are two
huge cistcrns which are capable If
holding pear one million gallons of
water.
This magnificent establishment has
been leased to Mr.. Crocheron, late
of Alabama. who will be prepared.
not only to entertain the transient
public, but TO furnish summer resi-
dences to many Of the vast number of
southerners who flock annually to
this portion of S. w. Va, He comes
amply vouched for as one skilled in
the rare art of making the public
comfortable in any hotel which he has
kept, but he has proven since at Alb
ingdOn that Mr.. Mcdonnell has sue
ceeded ia placing the right man in
charge Of this establishment.
We need not predict the success of
the Colonnade. 1t could not fail TN
less it were TO fall into different keep
ing. The local patronage of the
house is already large and those who
have not yet tested its merits will be
quick to find them out. Large as is
the Colonnade it will fill a great va
CUM at Abingdon and We hail its
completion as Godsend.
