The street car system OF this city
have 4 very comical corps of mules,
and they are always playing pranks
OF some kind on the driver. Some
times, just for fun. they won't stop
when the driver wants them TO, and
on such occasions the brakes have nc
effect on their speed. Then again,
they won't start when the driver
wishes. They always let people know
that they are coming aud blate for
all crossings. They are fond OF
athletic sport also. On Jefferson
street yesterday one put his hind
foot up over the platform and touched
the roof of the car. The driver fell
oil the stool, and great crowd APP
plauded. OF course the driver felt
something abashed, and that tickled
the mules so much that they joined
in and shouted with the throng.
Some times they pretend TO get
awful obliging, and pretending to be
licve that everyone they meet on the
streets wants to board the car, will
stop just to save the driver the trou
bic of saying 'woah.' This is just
one of their pranks.
They know exactly when they are
starting out on the last trip too, and
there amt anything in town that
can make them go on another either.
They settled that n few nights ago.
when the driver wanted to haul some
passengers from the depot to Rorer
park on an extra trip. He had to
take them TO the stable.
They are lively set, bent on hav-
ing fun with the driver, and they
generally have it il one way or
another

WESTWARD Mo,
what the Norfolk and western Arc
Doing In the West.

The recent interview of the Staun-
ton Vipdicator, says: "During his
visit to New York last week, Presi
dent NJ. e. Ingalls,, of the Chesapeake
and Ohio, was entertained at pri-
yate banquet Of railroad men given
by Major John Byrne, president OF
the Sciota Valley railroad. An inter
esting item of railroad news developed
during the stay of President Ingalls,,
and it is of special interest to Ohio.
The Norfolk and Western railroad,
located mostly in Virginia, and
known as "Mahone's" road, has
virtually control of the Sciota
Valley and New England,
and proposes to make con
ncctions with it by building new
road from the New river crossing in
Virginia to Cerredo, West Virginia,
nearly opposite the Scioto Valley ter
minus in Ohio. A new bridge will
then be built over the Ohio from Ger
redo, to point on the north side OF
the river, where q new town will be
created, backed by capital of rail
road men. This town will be chris
tened "Ken-o-va, and is conbina-
! ton OF the aDDreVlaLlOnS lol
names of the three states mostly beE-
Gifted by the new road. Back OF the
proposed extension and connection
are such capitalists as Vivian Gray
of London, England; Robert Fleming,
of Dundee, Scotland; F. j. kimball.
president of the Norfolk and Western;
Seligman Bros, New York; j. ID.
Newcomb and Major John Byrne, OF
New York and Cincinnati. When this
road is completed an arrangement
will be made by which the Norfolk
and Western will run over the Chesa-
peake and Ohio to Cincinnati, thus
opening up another route between
the Queen City and the Seaboard.
In return for this favor the Chesa-
peake and Ohio, which sold its inter
est in the Scioto Valley, will be al
lowed to run over that road to Co
lumbus, making another route from
Virginia to the Northwest. Thus
both Columbus and Cincinnati vii!
have additional routes to the East.

apart from all economic considcra-

people must continue TO expect rs long

Superintendent Fishburne desires
that all of the Rosebuds meet this

II il pretty certain that the ques-

Convention was decided in the af-
6rmative by the people of the State
At the late election. This I'VE be-
lieve is q good plan, and now it
should be seen that men who know
what changes should be made in the
present Constitution are chosen to
remodel the article. There are a
great many reforms needed. The
chief one, to our mind, is that Of
abolishing the Supreme Court, and
thereby making saving of $3.50

that should be done is to provide
for . State Poor Farm, At the rate
the counties are now caring for in
digants it costs the State something
like $50, 900 per annum. At least
half this amount could be saved.
