LOcb's New Building.

The corner OF Main and New streets now
ornamented with new and stylish store house
was once the location of a noted hotel-the
Wayne" The Washington occupied the
corner where the Virginia" superseded it, Inc
"Bell'' on the oblique corner of New @. II. ST.,
and the "Eagle'' in the building of the SPEcTA-
TOR printing house of this day, were the rivals
in hotel enterprise fifty years ago. The"Wayne''
was destroyed by fire, and the building succeed
ing it was the old stand of Crawford Cochran,
well known and popular merchants.
The enterprising firm of Loeb Broth ers,
who in turn occupied it, determined this year
to level it to the ground in order that new
establishment in keeping with the times, and
to accommodate their growing business, might
be reared in its stead. B. 7. Bagby contracted
for the brick, and E. W. stew art for the carpen-
ter's work. In 60 days from the time demoli-
ton OF the old commenced they had the new
building ready and occupied by the owners
This rapid progress was made under the jisad-
vantage oflosing their shops, machinery, tools.
and much of the material for the building by
fire in the interval. Mr.. Stewart drew the
plans and specifications and though an anna
teur in that respect, his drafts received the ap-
proval of those versed in the profession of
Architecture. The building is so feet deep and
space. The large windows are In single panes

and A feet wide, and double glass of correspond
ing height. The arrangement for light and

windows located along the upper side of the

cipal sal room, the second story is reached

The rich display on the street floor of all en-
braced in large dry goods store and the fea-

ment complete in all its departments.
In addition to the builders named, the follow
ing firms executed their parts in the best
manner. Greaver Brothers, plastering; Bar
gamin & Shepard, plumbing and gas fitting;
Hewitt and Son, papering and Messrs. Cox &

Inc LONDON agent OF the department caDles
Sept. 18th says result of statistical investi-
cations. that the year will not be one of super
abundance; that European Wheat though
above the average in product. will be less
than the aggregate of 1882 European import
ing countries need 26O DOC, 900 bushels above
production. European countries exporting
can supply $4,000 OO0 leaving $780, 100000 bushels
to be obtained from other countries Stocks
are not excessive, there is increased consump-
tion of Wheat. and it is the general opinion
that the lowest prices have been reached. Po-
tatoes and Rye are less abundant than last
year.
The monthly report of the National Depart
ment of Agriculture, Sept. 10th, says the prod.
uct of Winter Wheat is above an average, and
is generally of good quality except where in
jured by sprouting in the shock. The rate of
yield Is not far from an average-thirteen BUSH
els per acre. The results of the harvest of
Spring Wheat are not yet complete, and the
product cannot be precisely indicated. It is
probable, from the reported condition of the
crop already harvested and thrashed, that the
aggregate will vary little from 500 600 900 BUSH

SAS Long As / Liye!o

1t was in 1864, and we We're patroll-
ing the Tennessee River, in the "tar
clad gun-boat General Sherman.
Our company acting as rifemen, be-
sides which the boat carried the 10th
Indiana Battery, of twelye-pound
brass Napoleon guns. Our principle
business was to prevent the enemy
from crossing the river at points
where it was practicable to establish
ferries.
On the downward trip from Bridge
port to Decatur, Alabama, one fine
morning, one of the Tenth boys who
had been in the hospital for some
time, came Oh board. It was the first
time he had seen the inside Of the
boat, and everything was scrupulous-
ly clean and neat. After looking
around for some time with an air Of
satisfaction, he relarked:
"Boys, this is the incest place
have seen. | would like.to stay here
as long as 1 lire"
That was in the morning. About
the middle of the afternoon, as we
were passing down the stream, a de-
tachment of General Roddy's brigade
opened upon the boat with twelve
Founders. Each rifeman had loop
hole, through which to fire, and upon

Ut MASN,T ROnDY THIS TIMEW

Speaking of the old gun-boat re-
minds us of another incident connect
ed with her experience:
Roddy's command tried on several
occasions to sink her, but with her ac-
curate gunners, and excellent rifle
marksmen, she made them get out,
and get out rapidly, while the enemy's
gunners never hit the boat but once,
and that was the occasion referred to
in the previous incident.
After a time it was thought the
Battery boys could hold their own
along the river, and our command
was sent to other fields. After Hood
had maneuvered around toward Nash
vile, and while we were on our way
in that direction, we came across the
gun-boat at Chattanooga. She was
neatly painted, everything looked
beautiful about her, but she had nine
cannOn-shots through her. She had
tackled one of Hoods veteran Batter
les, and had these shot-holes to show
as the result. Upon our joking one
of the Sergeants Of the Battery about
this, he laughingly remarked:
"Ah, we didn't find Roddy this

George Wheldon, conductor on the Ohio
Southern Railroad, received valuable
bit of experience on Monday, which it is
hoped will be of lasting benefit to him.
George is good fellow, generally speak
ing, but he seems to have fallen into that
error so common among young railroad
conductors, that they have proprietary
right to the persons of their passengers,
and in fact, that passengers have no rights
that conductor is bound to respect. A
few days ago James Wangler, miner,
went up the valley on Wheldons train,
and was carried past his destination
which, we believe, was known to the con-
duetor-W Wangler desiring to return to
his destination without extra pay, an al
tercation ensued, when Wheldon jumped
onto the back of Wangler-who is mere
boy-and choked him. The assault was
uncalled for, and Wangler had Wheldon
arrested and brought before Squire Moore,
who fined him tiye dollars and costs. A
miner has as much right upon train as
has the conductor, and the conductor is
the servant of the travelling public. I'm
der no circumstances can they be consid-
cred his servants or his property.
