NORFOLK g. WESTERN.

The papers along the line of the
Norfolk 81 Western railroad have
been lndulging i'll some vigorous
criticisms on the management as re-
CARDS the running of trains. We Zoo,
over here in the Ciinch Valley, have
felt the personal Inconvenience of
delayed trains for weeks, but we do
mot lose sight of the fact that the
Norfolk s. Western railroad is be-
coming a huge affair, and that the
present temporary delay in the NOV
ing of trains is in measure due to
the Encouragement of divisions, made
necessity by new extensions aud in
create OF business. If our neighbors
i'll the other yalley were to note the
amount Of traffic between Tazcwell
and I.ynchburg they would wonder
Chat there was not more friction over
b single track; and double tracks are
not laid IN day: W-o do not want
to see The Norfolk & Western return
TO n one horse business for the sake
solely of an accurate schedule. We
know something of what the road is
becoming and can wait for greater
regularity. The sooner the better,
of course, but the business of the
road is increasing faster than human
ingenuity can profide for. If, how
ever, additional force and expense
would avoid the present difficulties,
: they Should not be spared. The i'm.
mediate prospects Of the Norfolk &
Western woull seem to warrant a
liberal and not niggardly policy.

NINETY BODIES RECOVERED.
Details OF the Horrible Holocaust in
the Kansas Mine.

A special from Pittsburgh, Kas.. gives
details of the horrible holocaust in a
shaft of the Pittsburgh and Cherokee
mine, Nov. 9th. The company had more
orders than they could fill. and in the T
attempts to keep up had been running an
unusually large force of miners. In The
morning 1874 men were lowered into the
mine. AT 8 80 in the afternoon n terrible
rumbling noise was heard above, and a
black cloud of dirt. slate and dust shot
into the air from the mouth of the shaft
tearing away the tracks upon which the
cages were hoisted and filling the shaft
with debris. The expl sion occurred on
the east 81 lie and is attributed to the in
experience Of new men. Before the men
outside could recover their senses one of
the miners appeared at the air shaft near
ly suffocated He was followed by Il
large number of others who escaped in.
jury. but the exact number is not known.
About midnight the fan house was re-
paired and fresh air was pumped into the
mine, driving back the poisonous gases
and averting suifocation. Attention was
then turned to raising the cribbing so
that the cages could be lowered. At 1890
a. IN. a cage was ready to descend and
the first rescuing party was lowered into
the shaft Owing to the bad air still re-
naming in the shaft they could not re-
main very long On the first return of
the cage it contained a number OF un'
injured but badly demoralized men. The
bottom of tie shaft was badly damaged
and it was difficult to get at the dead. AS
fast as found they were piled together at
the bottom. while the living and badly
wounded were hoisted to the top. At |
a IN. nine men had been rescued alive,
About this time the party struck an entry
containing twelve mere dead. The shaft
by this time had been pretty well cleared
of foul air. and the work of rescue pro
ceeded rapidly. A temporary hospital
was prepared in blacksmith shop near
the mouth of the shaft, where the most
heartrending scenes were witnessed as
the mangled and badly burned men were
carried in. Two men died while being
carried into the hospital. Up to late
hour in the afternoon no more bodies had
| been received from the mines and it Is
still believed there are still forty-six more
below the surface.

sexpn Years In The Courts.

Washington dispatch: The st. Louis
Lindell land case, Just decided III the
supreme court OF the United States,
illustrates the necessity Of a reform in
the judiciary department This case
was brought in 1853. All the original
lawyers, all the witnesses, judges, and
iuries, and all the parties to the original
suit except one are dead. The case has
been tried three times in the st. Louis
court, and each time Judgment was rem.
dered for the plaintiffs, but on appeal
each Judgment was reversed lay the state
supreme court. The premises cover fifty
acres in the heart Of st Louis and are
valued ut S2,000,000. The legal .qncs-
tions involved run back into French and
Spanish times. The argument occupied
most of last week in the court. All
through the thirty-tive years encli party
has employed able lawyers. But their
fees have amounted to more than the
land was worth when the case was
brought up. The property has been OF
no value to the parties who are now
dead or to anybody but the lawyers.
| Yet it has long been needed by the pub
! lie for Improvement. Ii takes seven
wears to go through the trial conrt the
state supreme court, and to reach a trial
| in the United States supreme court, ahd
IL the case is reversed it takes seven
/ years more to get the second hearing ut
Washington.
