THEKIMBERLY MINE.
No Coal Yet-A Substantial Mouth
Proposed.


Yesterday a reporter accosted Mr.. Kim,
berly. wanting to know what success he
was having opening his new bank, near
Mt. de Chantal. He replied: "Well, not
anything to brag about. l have not struck
the coal vein yet, but know my opening
is low enough and intend digging straight
in until strike the coal and will then com.
mence tunneling."
Are you not digging in similar f. the
opening of any other coal bank?' asked
the reporter.
mo, am not. Now / am digging right
into the hill, removing all the dirt from
the surface down, as l go, and when /
strike the COAL will commence tunneling,
but not before. When the coal is reached
/ will put stonemasons to work building a
stone wall along the cut. and will
cover the wall with good timber, 80 in the
end will have first class opening to my
bank. Everybody that has had any thing
to do with coal banks know that good
amount of money has to be expended year
ly on the opening of coal banks. Now l
wish to rectify that by opening very sub
stantially at first, and will never have any
more trouble with it,"
How is the coal business
Every good Could not ask any better
trade than has been had this last winter,
and from general appearances trade will
continue brisk for some time.

THE BOARD Is LEFT.
The Commissioner shut Out Of the r
KAKY. DiReeforY.

The Commissioners shnt Out OF the p,
W. d ny. Directory.
The Board Of Commissioners, ut the
special meeting on Tuesday, took steps to
have one of its members elected Director
of the p, W. & Ky. railroad company, but
made q 6asco. The REGISTER reporter, the
only newspaper man present, suppressed
this by request, but the policy of the
Board, in so doing, was a bad one, as
events proved. Mr.. Boring moved to
appoint Mr.. Speidel to vote the
countyS stock at the meeting. This was
not what was proposed and Mr.. CONNER
ford moved President Woods cast the vote
and that he vote for Mr.. Speidel for direc-
tor. This prevailed and so far so good.
But at the meeting, the election of direc-
tors had been cut and dried and Mr.. Speidel
had not been included. Mr.. Woods want
ed to adopt the cumulative plan, but it was
decided this could not be done, as the law
allowing it was made after the charter was
issued.
1t was freely stated that had the Board
intimated its desire TO be represented in
the directory. it would have been without
hesitation. but the Board deemed it best to
keep silent, and so it stands. Ohio county
has now three members OF the directory.

WEST VIRGINIA ROADS.
Progress of Railroads for this State
this Year.

this Year.
The Ohio Central road, which has been
completed from Pc. Pleasant to Charleston,
will be extended this season at least sixty
miles further up the Kanawhs, or to its
source at the junction of the Gauley and
New river. 1t was at first uncertain up
which rlver the road would go, but it has
been definitely determined to go up the
New rivers. The road follows the left bank
of the Kanawha to point above the mouth
Of the Gauley. whence it will cross by
means of an iron bridge, and proceed by
will cross the New and follow its right bank
to a point some forty miles above Hinton.
This is as far as the road is projected just
now, and in all probability it will go no
farther. Meantime the Richmond and
Allegheny Company is wisely at work ex-
tending its line toward this State. Will
iamson's, east OF the White Sulphur, has
been reached, but as this is 'out of line"
with the Ohio Central, portion OF the
Williamson route will have 10 be aband-
oned and line further south run in order
to Join the Ohio Central above Hinton.
Thus a continuous line will be established
from RlCnmOnQ 10 Lake Erle, IN NORM
Ohio. The New River valley is just begin.
ming to develope and abornds with some
of the best coal and ore in the State. 1t
is likely that Mr.. &. z. Huntington will in
terpose all the obstacles he can to the ex-
tension of q road that promises such for.
midable competition, but as it does not
trespass upon his rightof-way, his oppo.
sition will not avail him much. The rapid
ity of development OF the Kanawha valley
and the valleys of its inhuents renders
the early completion of this road very de-
sirable. The approach Of roads from the
north is also another incentive to execution
in the matter. The completion of a road
from Pittsburgh to cross this State will
throw open a trade whose magnitude can
not now be imagined. As a connection to
both the Chesapeake and Ohio and Ohio
Central roads the advantages of such road
are apparent. West Virginia looks to
Pittsburgh as the great depot for her coal,
coke and ore, and the present an xiety is for
short line through the State
to that city. Had the people Of MoHon-
gala county properly appreciated the i'm.
portance of the measure they defeated some
weeks ago they would have paused before
they would have voted as they did. The
construction of the line through Monon-
gala county would have been the incep-
ton of a scheme that was formulated to
build a narrow gauge road clear through to
the New river. Before three years a mag
nificent standard gauge road will be built
direct to this very region"

BEAUTIFUL CEREMONY.
The CATHEDRAL was crowded, last evening,
by deyout Catholics and interested others,
TO see the beautiful ceremony Of the lamen-
tations. The main altar, devoid of all
ornament and draped in mourning, was
deserted and dark, as was also the altar Of
our Lord Jesus. The services were con-
Quoted at the altar of the Blessed Virgin,
which was beautifully decorated. The
figure was removed and the "Sepulchre"
occupied its place. A thousand lights gilt
tered on the altar and reflected the bright
hues Of the flowers bestowed about The
Lamentations" were chanted, without the
organ accompaniment, and were solemn
and impressive.
FATHER BoUTLoU's SERMON.
The sermon was preached by Father
Boutlou, of Clarksburg. As this day COM
memorated the Last Supper and the Holy
Eucharist, that theme furnished the head
of his discourse. He described the Last
Supper, where Our Lord gave bread and
wine to the disci ples-saying it was his
body and blood, and explained the doc
trine of the Eucharist. After dwelling on
the necessity o'nourishing of the spiritual
body with the Sacrament, as great as that
of the material body with food, he urged
his hearers to be more regular and consci.
entious in their partaking of the SAcra-
ment The discourse was sound and prac-
teal and the seed sown fell upon fertile
