Hon. L. G. Foley, of this county, for three
years past connected with the Surveyor of
the Ports Office, ST. Louis, was last week
notified by Surveyor churchill that his servi-
ces would not be required after the 18th of
the present month. Churchill has had the
office for about three months, and on the re-
tirement Of Mr.. f. ana 4 gentleman by the
name of Waggoner from jefferson county
who also goes out on tho 15th-there will
not be single Democrat left in the force.
Mr.. III. \. Collins, the livery man, desires
to inform picuicers, eXcursionists, or any
body else who has occasion to need four
fifteen TO twenty people, that he has vehicle
that will suit them 'exzactly, precisely. just
to dot.' 1t was in use last week with a
load of twenty three and there was plenty
Of room, and to spare. Valley visitors will
bear in mind that Mr.. c. is the only man IN
the city who can furnish them such an out
fit.
\ south bound freight train met with a
fatal and disastrous wreck between HORNE
and Hematite last Saturday night about half
past nine. A couple OF men riding on the
train were killed but the employees all escap-
ed injury. Ten cars were ditched and badly
demolished. The track was blockaded for
ten hours and the south bound night pas
senger train did not pass through here until
after nine O'Clock Sunday morning. We are
not advised as to particulars or what was the
cause of the accident.
On Tuesday of last week passenger con-
ductors Ward and Bucklew received notice
from headquarters that their services were
no longer desired by the Iron Mountain
Railroad Company. Both of the gentlemen
were very popular and their hard luck will
be viewed with general regret by the travel
ing public. Mr.. Ward, especially, being one
of the oldest men on the road and univers-
ally known as among the most courteous,
obliging and faithful of the Company's en-
ployes, has many friends along the line who
will deplore his absence from hfs accustom-
ed place.
Saturday, August 18th, is the date of the
Grand Basket Picnic to be given at Kirch-
uer'S Park, Grauiteyile, by Granite Alliance,
No. 593. The programme of the day has
been completed and it is such as is certain
to insure an excellent time to all " no attend.
All the the usual games, Il number of races
and atheletIc sports, with many other pleas
ing features, are advertised among the at
fractions to be presented. The Graniteyille
Brass Band has been engaged and will dis
course sweet music all day long. Go early,
stay late, and enjoy what promises to be one
of the events of the year.
From a reliable source we learn that at
the expiration of the present month the
Pilot Knob mine will close down, the men
be discharged. and, for the present, all wo1k
discontinued. BY the LIST OF September all
the pillar work will be finished, and, Gons
sequently, as no"new ground" has been I'M |
earthed, the ore i'm sight will have been eX- |
hausted. This is dOleful announcement |
and the prospects for the future just now
appear to be very gloomy. However, let's
keep stiff upper lip, fer. when the iron
markets improve, it is more than likely work
will be resumed in some new "fnd."
