G. & O. r. R.-Some disappointment has
been expressed in certain quarters at the course
of this Company in fixing their tariff OF freight
on coal at what is regarded as prohlbitory rates
IF this be true we do not hesitate to say that
the policy is suicidal to the best interests of the
Company, and will deprive the people of Vir-
GINA of the great benefit which it was hoped,
would result from the construction of this road
through the best coal region on this continent.
The Charleston wv. Va.) Courier also makes
severe attack on the Company management.
1t charges that the policy Of the gentlemen
controlling this corporation is to make money,
the better to secure which they have engaged
IN buying up lands, town lots, NC, on specula-
ton, with money that ought to be expended on
the road aud IN paying employees whose wages
are withheld. 1t athrms, moreover, that no
money has been put into the concern by the
men to whom Virginia gave such important
franchises with much valuable property, and
threatens that the next Legislature Of West
Virginia will pass bill to regulate their freight
aud passenger tariff. -Lynchburg Euginiau.

EXPLOSION OF A Gas GENEEAToR--l es-
terday, large copper generator TOR making
gas for soda water, in the factory OF Palmer y
Green, Georgetown D. G., exploded with ter
rife force, throwing the head and the inside
dashcr across the room, and scattering the
contents all over the room, burning slightly
several Of the workmen who were there en-
ploycd and breaking hole about two feet square
through heavy brick wall in the rear OF the
generator,
la its course across the room, the dashcr first
struck one of the new steel fountains Tor soda
water, cutting through it as cIcanly as If done
with knife, and then striking heavy copper
Iount at the further part of the ROOM, cut
through that also.
Under the circumstances, the escape OF the
workmen partakes of the marvellous.
The resisting power of the steel fountains are
fully demonstrated by the accident, inasmush
as the one struck by the dashcr was heavl-
ly charged with gas at the time. The gas and
water escaped through the aperture Without
further dainage to the fouot.- Wash. Chron.
