mates wheat and barley below the aver
age crop. Il. F. Moore reports the yield
OF wheat at 81 per cent. below standard

Special Correspondence 9f ne lRteAtgeAoe.
Qu1NSlMoNT, W. Va, August S.-The
last OF the mines on New River, QuinEi-
mont, is by no means the least. The plant
here is large and the enterprise Is only
what other portions Of the State should
have. Everything Is utilized here. The
coal is made into coke, the coke
is used in the company's own furnace
to make iron, and the iron is shipped East
and West The mines themselves are up
on the mountains some distance. A stand.
ard gauge one mile in length leads to the
tipple. Here you fnd one hundred and
five coke ovens burning night and day.
Mr.. Goodwin, the boss ol the ovens, took
me through and kindly showed mo every
thing to be seen. The old fashioned bee
hive oven is in use, but they seem satisfied
with it. The coke used Is generally burned
hours, occasionally, however, it
remains in the oven seventy-two, owing to
the inequalities Of the grade. The ride up
the incline OF 1000 feet in length is not 30
frightful. The sheaf wheels are used on
the incline here with great success. The
mine itself is one OF the oldest on the river,
having been worked about ten years.
The coal lies in a vein Of from two to four
feet in thickness. Mr.. James Laing is
mine boss, and l am under obligations for
his kindness. The entries have not been
drawn straight, but have followed the coal;
the consequence Is ups and downs, twists
and turns. The air is good, ventilation
being made by openings TO daylight. Some
water is found, and the road is in fair con-

WESTON, W. Va, August 9.-Lewis
county Republicans have determined to
nominate and elect ticket this fall, con.
ference or no conference. The majority Of
Republicans here are not in favor oi
the proposed meeting. They fear that some
untoward act, or foolish speech may de-
stroY what they now regard Us excellent
prospects for carrying the State.
E. NJ. Tunstill, Chairman OF the County
Republican Executive Committee, said
that all his committee were opposed. to it
SO far as he knew. He himself felt that It
was doubtful experiment.
DR.. Kunst had given the matter no
thought, and was not prepared TO express
an opinion; had been away on business,
and the suggestion had just been called to
his attention.
Hon. J. L. Ruhl felt that 1t was, perhaps,
not the best to do at present. Mr.. Rnhl is
amember Of the House Of Delegates from
Harrison county, and is here for 8 few days
looking after his lumber interests.

THE DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK.
Indiana VIII Have Her Favorite Son in the
Next National Convention.

Indiana VIII Have Her Favorite Son in the
Next National Convention.
St. Louis Post Dispatch.
Mr. Austin H. Brown, Indiana member of
the Democratic national committee who was
in the city to-day, was overhauled by Post
Dispatch reporter, and the following i'm
portant political outlook was shadowed
forth:
HYes," said Mr. Brown, 1--WE shall have a
stiff and healthy fight next year for the
White House, but we are in better fighting
trim than ever before since 1876, when we
won and lost Our men in Congress have
been temperate and sensible not obstructing
tariff legislation and not making themselves
fools enough to force an extra session OF the
House"
Twill not the passage of the tariff bill cur
tail the Democratic issues?'
Not bit, i'll my judgment. The relief it
affords will be Insignificant compared with
the relief it should afford. The rebates are
unequally distributed, so much so, indeed
that where you will find one man satisfied
you will find twenty quite the reverse. The
Democracy, by the judicious choice of a
Speaker and a careful session of the next
Congress, can force an issue that will cap
ture the disgruntled elements of the Radical
camp, and reach splendid fighting posi-
ton"
How about candidates?'''
"Weil, you know that is very problemati-
cal. Up to this time l have regarded Gov
ernor Cleveland, of New York, very power
ful bidder for the nomination. but l see that
he has aroused the Eastern press because of
his veto of the legislative bill to reduce rates
on the elevated railroads He took the
position that these companies had vested
rights which the Legislature could not touch
He has no doubt injured himself by this in
popular sense, because a man with half an
eve can see that the party which expects to
win in 1884 must guard against all express
sions of sympathy with corporations and
monopolies,"
But Indiana has material?''
"Yes, and I've no doubt the nomination
will come West. Mr.. Hendricks still has as
pirations. He gets around now, but there
seems TO be doubts whether he will alto
gether recover from his late attack But we
don't want any repetition of the scenes be-
tween the jarring factions like we had at Gin
cinnati in 1880, and so we have concluded to
press no special candidate from our State on
the Democracy of the country. We will
make no demands. So far as Indiana is con-
cerned, the National Democracy will be left
to make their own unbiased choice. We
have a most available man in Mr. Mcdonald
respected in all parts of the country. When
the proper time comes, if the convention
should think him entitled to the great dis
tinction, we shall accept the honor gratefully
and go in for success. This, you will under
stand, is rather new position to be taken
by State which has a candidate who has
been so prominently and favorably mem
toned. But it will secure harmony in our
own ranks, will relieve lobbies of a great
crowd of retainers, and produce good eff
feet, | believe, on the convention"

have had at least a full high-school course; if
he cannot get that let him make the closest
| possb approach TO it.
"If what has now been said seems to have
a too exclusive bearing on the study and
practice of mechanics it is because this is
the leading department and presents the
only novel and difficult features of our en-
| terprise. But there will be departments of
civil engineering, chemistry and design or
ganiZed on the same general plan; the stud
les will be the same in all departments-the
practice different, according to the purpose
for which it is intended. These departments
naturally group themselves; for chemistry,
physics and drawing must be taught to me-
chanics and the additional expense required
to give practice in each of these departments
TO those who prefer it TO mechanical practice
is very small. The outlay required for civil
engineering practice is justified by the de-
mand
Later in our enterprise a department of
mining-engineering may be organized; and
in the department of physics special atten-
ton will be given to electrical engineering.
All this will come about in due time. 1t
will be observed, however, that only one
kind of practice can be profitably taken by
any student during the course. Full particu-
lars in regard to all these matters will be
given in due time"
The address concluded with the following:
'The city of Terre Haute has many treas
ures, but none that she will cherish longer
than memory of her princely benefactors:
but the chief of them all is the inalenable
right to put on his monument, with change

AN EATER WHO ATE.
MIR. Stephens's Phenomenal Appetite and
Memory.
st. Louis Post Dispatch.

st. Louis Post Dispatch
Mr. Stephens was astronomical mystery.
He could pack away an unconscionable
amount of food OF course, he never went
to the dining-hall of the National Hotel,
where he had made his Washington home Tor
over thirty years, and when his frugal
meal was sent up it was enough to stagger
the stoutest heart. Three or four kinds of
meat all the vegetables entrees and desserts,
and coffee and wine. But the old gentleman
went through this outlay like cyclone, and
came up to the attack regularly three times
day on schedule time. He would generally
wind up the evening over game of whist
with his old cronies, and he was a bad man to
fool with in this industry.
Another phenomenal trait was his memory
of names and faces. He probably knew
every man, woman and dog in Georgia, from
their birth up and was familiar with every
incident in their lives. The writer recalls
one evening when a young man from Georgia
was ushered into the room of Mr.. Stephens.
No card had come in advance, so the old
6 ntleman could not possibly have been
forewarned and forearmed. The visitor en-
tered modestly, saying he was from Georgia,
and merely wanted to call and pay his re-
spects. Mr.. Stephens held out his bony
hand, scrutinized his caller closely
for several minutes, and then calling
him by name, said he was delighted to see
him. The young man was amazed, and said
that his only Introduction TO Mr.. Stephens
had been twelve years before and was only a
casual meeting Without replying to this
the old gentleman went on kindly enough to
inquire about his family and appeared
thoroughly acquainted with MS surround
ings. This was in remote part of Georgia
where Mr.. Stephens had seldom been. Mr..
Blaine is, perhaps, the only man left in
public life with such a mysterious gift OF
memory. Some feats quite as astonishing
are related of the Maine statesman.

A saloon keeper of this city, who
claims to have been a Know Nothing in
1854, has divnlged a secret which has
been rigidly kept for nearly 80 years.
In 1874 most of the States and some OF
the foreign counties each contributed
n stone to the Washington monument.
The one sent by the Pope of Rome Is
said to be at the bottom of the Potomac.
One OF the nine men who assisted III
putting it there thus tells how the deed
was done: Between the hours of III
and II o'clock on Sunday night, March
S, 1854, we went to the monument. 1t
was pretty dark, but two OF us were
blackened in the face, and detailed to
look after the watchman in the box.
One of the men went up to the box,
looked in and found the Waterman
reading by lamp. He rammed his
pistol in the hole and told him to keep
his seat and he would not be harmed.
The other man tied rope securely about
the box. The man with the pistol
stayed until our return. The other one
helped us get the stone away. 1t was
boxed up with three Stats on each side.
1t was about four feet by one foot and
six inches in size, of peculiar kind of
white looking marble, striped, and with
Latin inscription in gilt tletters upon it.
With some skids, bars aud blocks, which
we found on the grounds. we rolled it
from where it WAS lying, in an old shed
at the foot of the monument. down the
hill to a scow that was moored in the
canal basin, now known as Babcock' 8
Lake. After some little trouble we got
it safely on board aud started out OF the
basin into the river and down the Wash.
ington channel until within about Is
yards Of the Long Bridge draw. While
on the way down We broke off part OF
the Stats aud chipped piece OF one cor
ner OF the stone about the size of two
bricks, with a sledge hammer, each TAX.
ing a small piece. When We got near the
bridge a confederate gave US a signal
that all was o. X, by swinging red
lantern from the bridge. We then eased
the stone over the side of the scow and
away it went with splash to the bot
tom of the river. We then went back
in the scow to the monument. relieved
the man who was standing guard over
the watchman, cut the rope around the
watch.box quietly, and scattered in
different directions for our homes. That
is the true story Of the whole transac.
tion. The stone has never, been found
to this day. but | guess the dredges will
get it when they commence to deepen
that part of the river" A search of
the records of the monu ment society
fails to reveal any description of the
"Pope's stone" All the others contri-
buted are represented by fac similes in
the archives of the society, but this par.
ticular piece has not been fully record
oil, as the case in which il was received
had not been removed at the time it
was stolen. When the loss was dis.
covered, the watehman in charge was
dismissed, and a reward OF $500 was
offered for the detection Of the persons
implicated. Bnt the police had no clue
and nothing ever came of their efforts,
aud nothing has ever been heard of the
,nottop nntil tho oatCon La.v,a. - y.
