A grand picnic will be held here
on the 9th of August, and every ar
rangement is being made by the eff
cient managers, John w. Shilling
burg, w. t. McGahan and J. S.
Moerland, to make this one of the
most enjoyable affairs that has ever
transpired in this section of country.
The ground for the occasion has been
selected in an exquisite grove, sur
rounded on all sides by beautiful
shade trees with prehistoric Fort
Pendleton, where once were posted
the grim monsters of war serenely
looking down, casting it's beautiful
shadows over the whole scene. A
special train will run from Piedmont
over the w. Va. G. & p. r. r., ac-
companied by a brass band. We
especially invite our friends from
Oakland to come over and take part
with us in the convivialities of the
day.
On last Thursday, an explosion oc-
Cured on Contractor Randolph's
works on the 33rd section of the w.
Va. G. & P. r. r.. in which nine men
were more or less seriously injured.
The men who were engaged at blast
ing had filled a large hole thirty feet
deep and at FIRST charged it with two
kegs of powder then set it off in order
to loosen up creyices in the rocks so
as to make room for second large
charge. They had reloaded the Sec
ond time with eight kegs of power,
and were in the act of tamping when
a small stone fell in the drill hole,
and in trying to get it out they had
to use steel bar which, coming
in contact with the stone, struck a
spark of fire and ignited the fuse, and
before the men were aware of their
danger they were suddenly hurled
in the air several feet, and in their
fall among the rocks and rubbish they
received severe cuts and bruises all
over their persons. Fortunately, how
ever, no one was dangerously injured
and no bones were broken.
Owen Riordan, who has for the
past spring and summer been pros
pecting for coal for Hon. H. G. Davis
& Co., in the Fairfax Region, passed
through our town on his way home
to Westernport, Md, on last Friday.
He informed us that he had found
many valuable coal mines in that re-
gion, averaging in depth nine, ten,
eleven, twelve and fourteen feet, and
that the area and extent of the coal
in that country was beyond calcula-
ton.
A daily mail and passenger train
will run from this place over the w.

Comptroller Roche's Statement of How
the Business was Done.

the Business was Done.
At the meeting of the board of education
held Wednesday evening, Mr.. Gilbert,
from the committee on finance, reported
that City Comptroller Roche had nego-
tiated the bonds of the board without any
authority from the board. The report also
stated that the finance committee of the
board could haYe done better, as the
bonds could have been sold at a premium.
Mr.. John W. Roche is not the kind of
man to make such a stupid blunder as
that; and no one who knows him, and
knows his habits of business, will ever be-
Heve that he would make such a petrifed
fool OF himself as this report intimates.
Believing that there was some mistake or
misunderstanding somewhere represen-
tative of the GLOBE called upon Mr.. Roche
and asked him about it. He says the state
ment is incorrect in all material respects.
Having been sc cited to aid in
disposing OF the lnds he telegraphed
to Kountz Bros, ~. Y, the gentlemen
who took all of the last batch of city bonds
at premium of 1 5-32, asking them if
they wanted the school bonds at the same
figure. Kountz Bros. replied thatjthey would
not take them at that price. It was too
nigh for school bonds. Mr. Roche then con-
suited with the city treasurer and the re-
suit was that he telegraphed to Kountz
Bros, that he would offer the bonds to them
on his own responsibility at par. Mr..
Roche then went right down to Mr.. Don
nelly, the secretars' of the board of edu-
cation and told him what he had done. Mr.
DOnnelly went to the telephone and told
Mr.. Gilbert. chairman Of the finance com
mittee of the board that Mr.. Roche was
there, and that he had offered the schoo!
bonds to Kountz Bros. at par, and recon-
mended the committee on finance to agree
to the proposition. Gilbert asked Roche
to go down to his Office but the Iather did
not have time. Later in the afternoon Mr.
Roche did go down to Gilberts Office and
the two talked the whole matter over when
Gilbert concluded to accept the
offer and let Kountz Bros. have
the bonds at par. MIR. Roche WAS governed
by this determination and closed up the
matter. If Mr.. Gilbert had not agreed to
the offer as made, Mr.. Roche would have
telegraphed Immediately to Kountz Bros.
that the finance committee. would not agree
to his proposition and the negotiations
would have been broken off.
This IS the substance of Mr. Roche's
statement, and it shows that instead of
doing something he was unauthorized to
do, Mr.. Roche was specially directed by
Mr.. Gilbert to do just what he did do.

An Interesting Book.

Capt. George G. Nicols, one of the old
est pilots on the river, is in st. Paul. Capt
Nicols, thirty eight years ago, piloted
boats up the Mississippi, to Mendoza and
Fort Smelling, when the only inhabitants
in Minnesota were Indians, with the excep.
ton of little party of white people in
the service of the Hudson Bay company,
and the few at the fort. In those early
days he piloted the boats for Capt. Louis
Robert, who was then the
great river man. Capt. Nico.s
tells many interesting stories of
Capt. Roberts, in which his well known
generosity is made to appear very proni-
nently. He says that on a great MANY
occasions when Capt. Roberts was going
up the Minnesota river, he has known him
to stop the boat and deliver to the poor
people flour and pork as a donation, when
he knew they we're in need of food. Not
only did this occur once or twice, but
many times, and was always the case on
every trip. Such testimonials as this of
Capt Nicols as to Capt. Roberts generos
ity must be very gratifying to all the
friends of that we'll known river man.
Captain Nicols is preparing a book, in
which he proposes to publish consider
able interesting information about the
early navigation of the Mississippi river.
The contents of the book will be suitably
interspersed with personal anecdotes and
interesting incidents of general charac-
ter. He he is now in the city for the pur-
pose of obtaining some facts, and also for
the purpose of verifying others that he
has, and hopes that in few weeks he will
be able to place his book before the
public.

mainder being included in operating ex-
penses. The gross earnings from traffic

of earnings of $249, ,276, or IA 40 per cent,
but an increase in rate per ton per mile of

The Claims against the Union Pacific.


WASHINGTON, May 3.-Sidney Dillon
president of the Union Pacific railroad
company, has written long letter to Sec
retary Teller concerning the claims against
the road. He says there is due the COM
pany a sum largely in excess of the
amounts claimed by the secretary of the
interior to be due the government, and
that any claim of the United States for
immediate payment under the Sherman
act must be based upon the rate of allow
ance for postal services fixed by the post
office department which the supreme court
has rejected, or upon the allowance for
that service at express rates as claimed by
the company. Adopting the rates thus
claimed by the company the government
is indebted to he road $2,738,889, a sum
far in exces o. :he amount sought to be
recovered by the interior department.
