N. Y. World
The Baltimore Sun has established
itself as the organ of the White House
domestic economy. Having spoken
with every appearance OF authority on
the subject of the kitchen, it now in
forms the public as to the Presidential
status ON dancing. Room is left for
the inference that there has been a
compromise effected between Mr. and
Mrs. Cleveland whereby the latter has
relinquished her prior claim to the
selection Of cook in view Of a modi-
fication of her husbands views on the
immortality OF dancing He firmly
adheres, it is said, to the prescription
of round dances, but promises that
there shall be cotillons or minuets per-
mitted at the Executive entertain
ments after the official mourning for
the late ex-President Arthur shall
have terminated, Mr.. Cleveland
thinks he sets good example in re-
framing from round dancing himself
and that he is entitled therein to the
moral support of his wife. He will re-
ceive for this stand the hearty com
mendation Of the worthy ladies of Gin
cinnatti and elsewhere who have un.
dertaken to regulate social matters al
Washington by the adoption Of pream.
bles and resolutions.
A careful study of precedents- ha,
convinced the President that, ever
from Jeffersonian point of view
the minuet or square dance is innocu
Gus. Mr., Jefferson played the fiddle
himself, and many foot has KEEP
time to his music-with occasiona
difficulty, his critics say. But thel
; the waltz had not polluted our shores
+, 1t had scarcely crossed from Germa
ny to England and had not yet waket
the Tyre OF Byron. Had Jefferson seeI
his strains lowered TO such uses h,
: would doubtless, after the manner 0
Z. "Uncle Ned" have "huug up the fd
die and the bow" at once. The Pres
dents lingering objections to dancin
as whole must have arisen from tn
danger Of the cotillon becoming al
!, entering wedge for waist emb. acing
: but having received assurances on thi
point the happy conclusion note
! above is reported to have been reach
ed and dancing of a strictly constitr
tionsl character may proceed unde

GREAT RAILROAD SCHEME.
To Connect Cincinnati with
Charleston, y. G.

The new railroad which is being
built along the south bank OF the
Ohio River by the Huntington people
is assured Of a goodly amount OF bust
ness. OF course, it would not be con-
structed on the uncertain plan Of in
vitation that fisherman adopts when
he throws his line into the water, and
the projectors OF the enterpsise, it
may be certain, knew just where busi-
ness would come from and wherein
the road would be profitable. But
phase OF the matter mas not yet been
presented to the public, and it is a
phase that may yet assume consider.
able Importance.
The Chattaroi Railroad, which runs
from Ashland to Richardson, dis
tance of fifty miles, has been purchas-
ed by Eastern capitalists who have
organized what is known as the
Charleston, Cincinnati & Chicago
Railroad. 1t is the intention Of those
gentlemen to extend the road to
Charleston, South Carolina, taking in
the magnificent coal, iron and oil
regions, as yet undeveloped, OF Ken
lucky, Tennessee and the Carolinas.
1t will go into Mitchell County, North
Carolina, where can be found the fin
est steel iron ore in the country. OF
course to make this extension will re-
quire much time-it is estimated that
two years will be necessary to COM
plete the road-and the Huntington
road along the Ohio River will be fin
ished next summer and by next win
ter, it is thought, the bridge across
the Ohio at this place will be done, so
that entrance can be had into Cincin-
natl. Now it is proposed to build an
extension of the Chatteroi Railroad at
once into the fine coal region lying q
few miles beyond its present terminus
Richardson, and contracts will soon be
awarded for building an extension to
Paintville, twenty miles beyond.
This extension can be finished by the
time that the Huntington people are
able to get their cars into Cincinnati
over their own tracks, and thus will be
able to bring fine coal down here.
Itis estimated that it can be sold on
board cars here at eight cents bush.
Ell, and its quality will recommend il
to consumers, so that the new road
will be assured of a good profitable
business from the beginning.
The Charleston, Cincinnati & Chi
cago Road will be, when completed
about $50 miles long, and the (esti
mated) cost will be between $4,000
+, and 100000. Contracts for the stee
, for the entire route have been placed
in consequence OF the cheapness d
rails and the possibility Of advance.

4,O9l cases eggs, worth $4,000. Tim
berand lumber are ralted down stream.
Among the logs were 10000 poplars,
valued at $774,40O, and 1928 black
walnut, worth $57S,87s. OF lumber
there were l,4S7 800 feet Of poplar and
6,940, 600 oak slaves. The live stock
including 1924 head Of cattle, 56,l00
chickens, 1927 hogs, 1,7OO sheep, be.
sides horses, mules, turkeys, ducks
and geese These exports, taken
fromIa list OF nearly three.score articles,
show very fairly what the agriculture
and industries OF that section are, and
also what they may be when the coun-
try is opened up to settlement and its
various resources are developed,
There is no possibility Of more than
one road ever being constructed
through this section OH the air line
the Charleston, Cincinnati & Chicago
Railroad will follow, for the breaks Of
the Cumberland Mountains aud the
conformation Of the country on both
sides Of them will make it impossible
to build parallel, Neither viii this
road be compelled to haul long trains
of empty cars from Ashland back to
Cranberry, for the same that carry
ore and coke down to Ashland will be
filled with fuel for the blast furnaces
at the Bessemer ore beds and the
hematite mines OF Burke county, N.
g., or for the consumers all along the
line between the Tennessee border
and Charleston. Looking at the iu.
ture business of this road from what.
ever standpoint, / can see nothing To
prevent it from becoming the greatest
freight carrier of the whole Southern
country. B. s. P.

A Party Of Railway Engineers
Engaged i'm Eastern
Kentucky.
Courier Journal llth

Courier Journal lith
A party Of railroad engineers has
just returned to Catletttsburg, KY J,
from trip across the mountains OF east
ern Kentucky to meet another party Of
engineers from Johnson City, Tenn.
In the latter party were j. T. Wilder,
OF Chattanooga, vice president Of the
Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago
railroad, and Col Thos. E. Matson,
its chief engineer. The latter located
the route and built the road from
johnson City to the famous Cranber-
ry iron mines, after three other skilled
engineers had gone through the
country and declared the construc-
ton of q way impossible.
These gentlemen have gene slowly
through the country to determine
whether the road with which they are
officially connected could get through
the breaks of the Cumberland. They
went to examine those breaks and to
determinewhether it was practicableto
make an easy road bed from there tc
Piketon, Ky. The conclusions reach
ed by both parties were that there was
no serious obstacle and no unusual
| ly expensive work to be done. At q
| grade not exceeding eightyfeet to amiIe
a standard-gauge road can be bull
| from the head Of navigation on the
Big Sandy to junction with the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgi,
railroad. The Charleston, Cincinnati
and Chicago people have already sat
isfied themselves that line from tina
junction to Charleston is entirel,
feasible, and have begun its construc
ton, They expect to continue i
through to the Big Sandy, and theme
to the Chatteroi road thus forming
new connection forCincinnati intoEas
Kentucky and East Tennessee. 1t j
said that the reconnaissance Just fir
ished will determine the Charleston
! Cincinnati and Chicago management
to employ all their energies in builc
ing the intermediate link betwee
Richardson, the present terminus {
: the Chatteroi and Johnson City, j
order that the Ashland, Ironton an
other Hanging Rock furnaces may
supplied with Cranberry ore at th
earliest possible date.
: This road is designed to enter I'll
territory toward which two 9th,
roads are now being built, and
: which a third will probably be exten'
: ed. The two in process of constru
ton are the Pineville branch of IL
Louisville and Nashville, the ros
. from Bristol, Tenn, and the third
the Kentucky Union.

Webber's Examination.

Mention was made yesterday of the fact
that Henry Weber had been held TO an
swer by Justice Anderson, of Folsom, on a
charge of arson, growing out Of circum-
stances connected with the late disastrous
contiagratiOn at that place. The evidence
on which the action Of the Justice was
based consisted of the suspicious conduct of
the accused at the time the fire broke out,
and remarks alleged to have been made by
him prior to the occurrence. J. c. g. Null
Ter, one OF the victims of the fire, swore to
the complaint upon which Weber was ar
rested.
John White of Auburn, was in Folsom
at the time of the fire, and shortly before it
broke out he was in the store kept by de-
PENDANTS father. He testified that he
saw young Webber go into the rear
Of the store, and on his return he
Anvited witness TO saloon to have
glass OF beer. As they returned the
flames burst from the rear of the store.
Defendant remarked that 1t was no use to
try to put out the fire, as everything would
20. Weber had told witness of having
had a difficulty with his father.
Louis 7. wager had heard defendant say
that if his father did not pay him sum of
money claimed to be due he would get
even-would burn him.
Several other witnesses testified to hav-
ing smelled coal-oil just after the fire
started.
After hearing the testimony, the Court
made the following order: :" 1t appearing
from the testimony that the crime charged,
to wit, arson, has been committed and that
the defendant is guilty thereof, it is there
fore ordered that he be held to answer to
the Superior Court on said charge and that
he may be admitted to bail in the sum of
$1,000
Since being placed in Jail, ii is said that
Weber has made remarks to the effect
that if not bailed out by his father, he
would give the whole thing away etc.
Whether ar not this is meant as threat
against Weber, Sr can only be surmised.

has just found out that the drought and an
other insect pest has been damaging the
orange trees of Florida, and nothing gives
him more delight than to publish anything
he thinks will iniure this State. However,
we can inform him that our orange trees
are looking splendidly; that the orange
crop will be larger than was expected, and
that the new insect has disappeared with
out doing any injury. Now, we are pleased
to hear from Brother Holt that his State
has got rid Of the white scale, so that the
large bearing orange trees do not require to
be cut down and burnt; that there has
been no blight among his fruit trees, and
that the papers of his own State have lied
in so stating; that the pbylloxera has not
attacked his vines nor the Goblin moth in
jured other fruit trees, and above all that
his water supply has been arranged so that
there will be no longer fear of Riverside
name being changed to Desert Side
Look at home, dear brother, and see that
your own house is quite clean before you
say those of other people are dirty. Do
not glory in the misfortune of Others least
greater misfortune befall yourself
