The criminal court has been 10 session all
this week, and Is we'll up with Its WORK. The
murder trial OF Martha White will come ~
the first Of next week. and. unless It should
be unexpectedly prolonged the court will be
able to adjourn by the middle Of the week.
The grand jury did its work energstioaliy
and well.
Tha county court again refused. at this
weeks term, to appoint an inspector OF coal
mines. We regret that the court did not
provide for An examination Is to the safety
OF mines, which could have been done at .
cost OF less than one hundred dollars, and
which would have satisfied oil reasonable
psrsons, until the objections to the law could
be considered aud II possible removed. Al
It Is litigation regarding 1t will cost - much,
and ZONE salsmity may occur which will
cause sorrow on the one side and indigna-
ton upon the other.

We learn th.t Mr.. j. q. McGrew, the &C.
tive manager Of the Lexington Coal CON-
psny, has reached coal IN the new shalt.
below the old Lexington coal company's
shaft nsAr Old Town, where work has been
In progress for the past two months. He has
determined 10 put In = powerful engine and
hosting machinery 1t once, which will be
manufactured by Mr.. VIM. N. Jordan, of
this city. Tue old shalt will also be supplied
with new m,chirery by the same builder.
Mr.. Jordan has already built two pairs OF
hoisting engines for Mr.. hebrews mines Ut
Camden, 30 that gentleman knows just what
ne Is to get, and seems satisfied, after bis
large experience. that this powerful ma.
chinsry can be better and rs cheaply made
In Lexington rs In the east. When the two
shafts are put In COOL working condition,
which will he IN y few months, Mr.. McGrsw
expects to raise from them from 800 to 400
tons OF coal per day, which will require q
working force Of some 200 men. These mines
It must be understood are 10 addition to the
extensive ones now being worked on the
: Narrow Gauge rosd, and are situatsd ON the
Lexington Branch.
