the lawlessness of the people. The
court was held i'll tent because in
cendaries had burned the court
house down. One of, tho leading
members Of tho bar present had re
turned for the first time since he VAS
shot in the leg through II window,
and warned to leave at once, which
warning he complied with. The town
was garrisoned with militia. The
roads were picketed Tho court
tent was full of soldiers to protect

was in danger. The charge to the
jury wounded tho feelings of several
OF the spectators SO much that they
had to BIO disurned. Iu the course
OF his remarks to The grand jury the
judge mentioned the fact that 500
murders had been committed in the
county.
Perry county is Republican by u

THE NORFOLK & WESTERN

PUSHING TIE WORK ON THE
ONO EXTENSION TO CONNECT
WITH THE SCIoTO VALLEY DI-
SIoN-OpENING THE WEALTH
OF TAzEwELL COUNTY TO THE
GREAT WEST.
The Norfolk and Western is
pushing the work on the Ohio ex-
tension to connect with the Scioto
Valley Division at Ironton.
The Scioto Valley Division of
the Norfolk and Western was
formerly the Scioto Valley and
New England Railroad, the road
having been acquired by the Nor
folk and Western last June. 1t
runs from Ironton, the projected
terminus of the Ohio River extern
sion (now under construction) to
Columbus, Ohio, distance of
about 1872 miles. The work OH the
Ohio extension is progressing rap
idly, and the entire road, 1915 miles
III length, will be finished next
year. The connection ut Ironton
will materially enhance the earn.
ing capacity Of the Norfolk and
Western railroad, as it will give it
an outlet from the northwest to
the south. The Scioto Valley and
New England owns very valuable
terminal facilities in the city of
lronton, including tracks into all
the furnaces and manufacturing
establishments in that city, and it
crosses and connects with the
Pennsylvania Railroad system, Bal.
tlmorc and Ohio, Cincinnati, Ham.
llton and Dayton, and Ohio and
Northwestern. 1t also makes nu
merous other important connec
tons. The acquisition of the Sci
OTTO Valley and New England rail
| road saves the Norfolk and West
