President Langley has pub
lished a statement Tor the in
formation of the stockholders
of the G., McA. & @. r. R.
from which it appears that il
will cost $S1,143 to complete
the road.bed from Gallipolis TO
Vinton Furnace, and the whole
cost of the road ironed and
ready for the cars will be $l2,
OFT per mile. To iron and
complete the road to the Gal
liza county line will cost 1924,
240 in addition to what has al
ready been paid. Hard times
and want of money is what is
now delaying the project. We
have no doubt of the final com
pletion OF the road, but 1t will
require additional subscription
from the people along the route,
which, by the way, they are
abundantly able to make.
A full statement OF the af-
fairs of the company will be
published in January.

PUZZLE FOR THE SCIENTISTS.

wilmington ~ ~ Afe'.-H
At the house Of a cOlOred woman by the
name of Mag Blutbey, on the corner Of
Tenth and Wooster streets, there reside a
colored man and his wife by the name Of
Fisher, who are the parents CT a girl child
about nine months old who Is certainly one
of the greatest curiOsities Of the human spe-
cies that we have ever heard or read of. Ex-
Policeman William ii. Harris, who visited
the house on Sunday and examined the
child, informs us that its skin is perfectly
white, although its parents are both Of a
dark ginger-Cake complexion. Its form
and features are perfect up to the bridge Of
the nose, the chin, mouth and nasal organ
being not only well formed, but really
handsome in their symmetry and general
appearance; but, commencing with the
ewes, the face and head has the appearance
Of an animal, more TeSenbllnSa white bear
than ANYTHING else of the animal species our
informant could call to mind The hair
is of a Whitish color and like the
wool of a sheep. Its eyes are round
and piercing, resembling those Of a
mink, and revolve in their sockets
in very peculiar manner. They cannot
bear the light of lamp or candle, and are
instantly closed when one is brought in the
room, and are only kept open in the day
time when the room is somewhat darkened,
1t has no eyebrows, and the lid is of pecu-
liar formation, in no particular resembling
the eve of a human being. IL is very
timid, and when any one approaches it has
the appearance and actions Of a rabbit
startled from its lair. Here is a fine field
for those who make human nature in its
various forms and peculiarities an object Of
study and analysis,

4 Tale OfTwO Cities.

The young man who was referred to by
yesterdays Banner under the heading "a
Little Mysterious was searching for the
Banner reporter yesterday. He said lie
wanted to converse with him, and tell him
what he thought about him. lie informed
our reporter that his name is ii. Nc -,
that he lives in Knoxville; that he is not
married man; that he and Miss Mary J.
G. elOped from Knoxville on the first of
June; That they went 10 Asheville, North
Carolina, where they lived as man and
wife until last week, when the
step-fatber of the girl appeared on
the scene and requested her to go back
to Knoxville with him, claiming that her
presence in that city was necessary in order
for him to dispose Of some land. She
finally consented, and the three started to
Knoxville together. Monday last, the
young man started to Nashville with the
understanding that the girl would meet
him here "Wednesday noon, as she intend
ed to go back to her former home in Dele
ware county, Ohio, where her mother is
now living, she and her husband, the step
father of the girl having parted several
years ago.
Our young man haunted the Louisville
depot Wednesday, but the girl failed to
come to time, reaching the city, however,
Thursday, in company with her step father,
who had also concluded to take a little
tramp up North. The girl tried to shake
the old nan and reiOin the young fellow
with whom she had elOped, but was not
successful in this. Then she wrote note
and offered a waiter at Linck's hotel So to
take it to the young man, but the latter
couldn't be bribed to do that kind of
work. The old man got her on the
train at last, and then the girl
dropped the note outside the window,
hoping it would be picked up by the person
for whom it was intended. The StepfaIher
saw the missiTe and secured it, whereupOn
the maiden rushed from the car and into
the waiting room, declaring she'd remain
with the Young man, or Idle in the at
tempt" She changed her mind, however,
and when the train left the depot, she was
one of the passengers, having been unable
to exchange a word with her late "hus-
band"
The stepfather is said to be a mason, and
has lived in Knoxville about five years.
