Offenses of Smokers.

The bridge trustees have made a
rule that hereafter cigars and pipes
shall not be carried in sight on their
platforms or cars. This is a whole
some decision, although at first it may
appear to be arbitrary. Smoking in
inappropriate places is nuisance even
to men who smoke in a decent and
seemly manner, and experience has
shown that the only method of pre-
venting smoking in interdicted places
is to forbid cigars and pipes, for it
may be laid down, as a general rule,
that the man who will smoke in a
place where there are many people
and where it is difficult,
under the most favorable circumstan-
ces, to maintain pure air, will pretend
that his cigar or pipe is unlighted
when it is not. 1t may be assumed
that the man who insists on carrying
a cigar in place where the smoking

lFrom The Safety Vave.1
Fred Post, the Dare Devil Engineer.

Zone Of the best and withal the
most daring engineers on the Union
Pacific was, and still is, Fred Post of
Cheyenne" said one of the Rocky
Mountain delegates to the recent Con-
vention of the Brotherhood in Chi
cago.
when Post is ON an engine he
doesn't seem to know what fear is.
He has had passenger engines dozens
of times, but it wouldn't be long be-
fore he would make some reckless run,
just for the deviltry Of the thing, and
then he would be sent back to a
freight run again. 1t seems to be al
most impossible for him to run on
schedule time-he isn't happy unless
he can let her out for every revolution
there is in her. One of his flash runs
was from Cheyenne to Greeley, Col,
and over to Fort Collins, and then
back again to Cheyenne. A special
was made up in Cheyenne to GO over
to Fort Collins after murderer named
Moshier. Post was ordered to take
old 400,' the fastest engine on the
road, and 'way-car' was attached for
the party of officers. Among the pas
sengers were Sheriff Sharpless, several
deputy sherifs, some newspaper men,
few prominent citizens, and Mr..
Deuel.. the Superintendent Of the road.
The train had the right of way, and
everything was ordered ON the side
tracks until the special passed. You
see, the case was an important one, and,
as it resulted in one of the most fa-
nous lynchings ever known in the far
West, is worth telling.
The man Moshier was a low-lived
assassin who had shot several people.
He was tramping over the lonely trail
between Cheyenne and the Black Hills
one day when he met freighter, who
picked him up and fed him. and let
him ride to Cheyenne. The freighter
also had passenger in young man
who had lived near Fort Laramie, and
who was on his way to his former
home in Iowa. The outfit consisted
of big prairie schooner, a trail wag-
on, and sixteen mules. When the
end of the journey was reached the
party camped on the prairie. about
three miles from Cheyenne, and near
the Government post of Fort Russell.
The freighter intended to come into
town early the next morning, load the
wagons with goods for the Black
Hills, and come back in the evening
to the same camping ground. The
mules were turned out to Craze on the
rich upland grass, and, as the night
was threatening, all three men spread
their blankets in one Of the big wag-
ons, which, like all freight wagons,
was cavered with canvas, stretched
over high bows. A man standing in
the wagon couldn't touch the canvas
top overhead, so they make pretty
prairie bedroom. During
the night Moshier got up, and, taking
an axe, struck the sleeping frelghter
blow on the head. Supposing he had
killed him, he next struck the passen-
ger, fracturing his skull. But the

Mr. LAWRENCE BARRErT's statement in an
interview published by the New York 7,ib0"e
that he and Mr.. Booth had taken in 10000
during the theatrical season just closed has
no doubt been read with amazement. There
Is no reason to doubt its truthfulness. Mr..
Booth received clear s2OOOOO as his interest,
and II Is presumed Mr.. Barrett received
good deal more a. he was the manager. lie
assumed all financial risks in forming the
combination, and Mr.. Booth was relieved of
all rCsponsibllity except so far as his work
on the stage was concerned. The expenses of
the company could not have been over $780,
OC0, so that Mr.. Barrett probably cleared
about Si00,CCO. This reads like tale
of romance. Nothing of the kind
was ever heard of before in the
annals Of the stage. The season was for
thirty.five weeks. Sometimes they played to
as much as S25,OCO week. In San Francisco
at Baldwin's Theater, they took in $4,000 in
three weeks. This is making money almost
as fast as If one were on the lucky side of a
large stock deal John Mccullough, in his
palmiest days, cleared about $4,000 a year.
LOtta has made that much, and Mary Ander-
son has made good deal more, but 1t Is
doubtful If any single dramatic or operate
star ever cleared in one season much more
than half the amount Mr.. Barrett says lie has
paid Mr.. Booth, and not much more than one
fourth the sum that Mr.. Barrett probably paid
himself. Patti is said to have received
as much as $1,000 for single appearances in
opera or concert, but at this price she would
sing only about twice Il week, and during a
very short season. She has probably never
cleared In single season so much as Mr..
Booth during the one just passed. The popu'
larity of the Booth.Barrett combination has
been phenomenal The amount actually re-
ccived by them does not represent much over
half the amount actually paid out on their
account by the public, for in every city where
they went the seats either fell into
the hands of spectators or were put
up at auction. Where they were auc-
toned off the theater, of course, took the
profit. This was the case in Richmond, where
the price Of seats was run up TO seven and
eight dollars. A fair estimate of the total
amount of money paid out by the public on
account Of the Booth Barrett combination Is
81 l,CC0,OC0, This not only illustrates the popu.
larity Of these two actors, but It proves the
plentifumess of money In the pockets of the
American people when anything comes around
they are particularly anxious TO see.

SOUTHWESTERN VIRGINIA.
Capitalists Finding 1t a Good Field
for Investment.

tOr lnNestments
The attention Of some Of the largest east
ern capitalists has been for some time past
directed to southwestern Virginia as pre-
sentng the best field for investments to be
found in any Of the southern states. The
section Of country at and around Big Stone
Gap, in Wise county, seems to have at
tracted the greatest attention aud secured
the largest Investments. Big Stone Gap is
about ten miles from the line of Kentucky
and Virginia, and takes It's name from the
very remarkable natural feature-the gap
In the Cumberland mountains-through
which flows the north fork of Powell's river.
II Is situated within two miles OF the great
coking coal region, which at that point
covers more than fifty square miles, and
contains a number of beds-one eight feet
thick, one twelve feet thick, and several
other smaller ones.
The natural outlet for the coal is through
Big Stone Gap, and by actual tests II has
been demonstrated that this coal makes
stronger coke, lower in sulphur and ash, and
higher in carbon than even the celebrated
COnnellsville Goals,
Commencing one mile south of the Gap
and extending a distance of twenty miles,
are two parallel bodies OF iron ore-one
hematite ore, such as Is found near Brming-
ham, Alabama, and the other and much
more valuable is the Oriskany ore, which Is
so per cent. pure iron, very low In phos-
phorus and sulphur, and which averages
more than fifteen feet In thickness. Not
only are the minerals found in this section
of the most valuable character, and In ad-
dition the Big Stone Gap region is the cen
ter of the largest and by far the most val
liable area of hard and soft wood timbers
of every variety to be found east Of the Mis-
sissippi river. Until within the last year
this rich section Of Virginia was entirely
without railroad communications Of any
kind, but ut the present time there are three
roads in course of construction towards
the Gap, the South Atlantic and Ohio,
the Norfolk and Western extention from
Graham, Va, and the Louisville and Nash
vile extension from Pineville, KY; and in
addition to these roads the Eastern Ken
lucky, the Kentucky Union, and the Clncin
natl, Chicago and Charleston roads are all
being built rapidly in the direction Of the
Gap; and to hasten matters the Big Stone
Gap improvement Company have offered a
bonus Of $3.50, 900 Of It's stock, aud all nee
cssary terminal facilities, to the railroad
company which first reaches the Gap.
in regard to the natural beauties and
scenery of that section q recent visitor
says: "Big Stone Gap Is surrounded by
the most beautiful scenery have ever seen
in this country, encircled by majestic noun
tains on every side, and not only grand In
their proportions, but clad as they are to
their SUBMITS with carpets ofluXuriant blue
grass, or covered, where the axe OF the
