An Important Statement.

y An important statement.
Nh. J. X TAGcARr, manager of the Vir-
ginia Coal & Iron Company, says he will
deliver first-class fuel coal at the depot at
Big Stone Gap at from $l.I5 to $l.25 per
ton, if not less, and the company's coke,
which McCreath's analysis shows is the
finest in the world, at 500 per ton. Coke
not quite so good in Wales sells for $o.0o
per ton. This statement from so rcspon-
a source should he considered by the
manufacturing world. There is no spot
on the globe where such fuel can he sup
piled at such price. Add to this the tact
that we have superior iron ores all around
us, and in incxhaustible quantities, the
finest timber north of the tropics, a loca-
ton that can't be surpassed, and three
railroad systems ccntcrng here.

AIRY TONGUES.

51f our hunters knew how much more fasci-
Mating the hunt is when ladies add their grace
full and charming presence to such parties,
thew would rarely if ever 60 with gentlemen
alone. Mrs. ". f. Addison and Hiss Fox. nc
companicd by young gentleman who is the
best shot in the city, made and excursion Oh
the kind to Lee county last Friday, and the
hunt from beginning to end was delightful.
The ladies made the ride of some sixteen
miles without fatigue and returned laden
with some of the finest birds of the fields.
Their excitement when the dog pointed added
zcst to the sport of the hunter and nerved him
to do his best shooting. Another expedition
will be organized with larger party.
1.-THE Appalachian Club will be open for the re-
ccption of members, their families and invited
guests, from eight to twelve p. M, on the second
Friday of each month. The ladies will furnish
refreshments, and as soon as n new floor can
be laid there will be dancing. The first re-
ccption will be given this evening at the hours
mentioned.
y Dainty and tasteful cards arc out from MIR.
and Mrs. +. NJ. Hardin, announcing reception
to be given Miss Hardin, of Kentucky, Tuesday
evening, December the sixteenth, from eight to
twelve o'clock, p. m. The occasion will be an
entertaining one to those who attend, and is
anticipated with much interest.
"Thc CIcmcnccan case" has been performed
in the swell city Of Richmond after an earnest
and somewhat heated discussion among
the authorities as to the propricty of permit
ting the performance. Though it drew good
houses for the first night or two, at the last
performance there were but small crowd,
only half dozen ladies being present and
slim attendance of their sex. The dramatic
critic of the Dispatch has this to say about it:
1.-The most Objectionable feature OF the drama is
at the rise OF the curtain in the third net when LA
poses rs model for her husband Her entire cos
tumc consists Of very tightitting suit Of SILK gauze
Of delicate shade u pink. This scene only lasts
about minute and while the actress is posing. the
lights on the stage are lowered and under their soft
glow she looks almost much like marble ~ q
human being
From this infer that the person who took
the part of liza was not IA human bcing:' but
then the Dispatch may be mistaken about it, and
pcrhap. il the critic had examined liza more
closely he would have found that she is
human being.
Is it not time to call halt on scientific re-
search? Professor Wcisman, the great boo-
gist, of Frciburg, has put on record thesis
which maintains that there is reallyno such
thing as distinction of sex and that such seem
ing difference as exists has been developed
in order, as The Edinburg Review puts it, ITO
introduce Il little pleasing variety into too
monotonous world" It seems to me the emf
ncnt professor is trcading on dangerous ground,
and that much learning has made him mad.

The republicans are trying TO keep a
stiff upper lip on the Force bill, and still
threaten to pass it. Fortunately for the
democratic party many of the republican
leaders are so blind that they can not see

political history Of the country that has

Harrison and the rabid partisans about

The Pavement Matter.

There has been considerable complaint
because no crossings have been con-
structcd where the sidewalks terminate,
and because those in charge of the walk
LAYING have laid the planks on both sides
of some of the streets, emitting others
entirely, when one side should have been
laid at time throughout the city, thus
giving pedestrians one continued pave
ment much earlier than they can get it
under the plan adopted. The last COM
plant at least is well founded; but those
in charge of the work say it has been I'M
possible to get the timber for the Cross
ings. Several cars loaded with material
have been waiting for some time at the
saw-mill for the railroad company TO
deliver. 1t seems the company either
will not or cannot spare an engine for an
hour to haul this timber to the city. We
do not know whether the dummy engine
could have been secured for this purpose,
but certainly every effort should he made
to complete both the crossings and the
walks. If one must get over his boot
tops in mud going from one dry walk to
another, lie had rs well keep in the middle
of the street. The contrast only irrtates
the pedestrian and causes him to fill the
air with profane explctives. 1t is useless
to build churches until the walks are
finished. Both ladies and gentlemen are
apt to leave their religion in the mud with
their ovcrshoes before they can get a
block from the church door. No amount
of faith or praying will keep the believer
from sticking in the mud or the mud from
sticking to the believer. The Hebrew
children went through the fiery furnace
without the smell of fire on their gar
mcnts," but they did not try mud-holc.
Here we must draw the line.

Murderer Mervin Kuhns Captured

About a month ago an oil man was foundat Fos-
toris in the Of barn shot through the heart.
The day before, it was known that he mad several
hundred dollars on his person hence 1t was surmised
his murder was actuated by robbery. He could not
be identified until one Mervin Kuhns appeared up-
on the scene and claimed to recognize him as one
Campau Of Detroit. Kuhns disappeared shortly
after and two boys testified having seen Kuhns and

Suspicion at fastened on him and for four weeks
the oficers were on his trail.
Saturday he stepped from train at Ft. Wayne.
and was recognised by several acquaintances who
notified the sheriff. Deputy Sheriff Wilkinson in
company with policeman Cornely drove to Churn-
busco, within few miles Of the home Of Kuhn's
parents the murderer having departed in that direc-
tlon. Here they found him in company with an old
pal, James Mease. Both were walking the streets
with drawn revolvers daring any one to arrest them.
The officers grabbed Kuhns when Meaee opened
fire. The first shot brought CorneIy to the earth
with bullet In his abdomen, second lodged In his
thigh and then Kuhns fired, striking the policeman
In the head. citizen named jackson disabled
Mease with shot through the thigh and then began
bloody battle between Kuhns and Wilkinson.
Both fred their revolvers empty, Kuhns receiving
four bullets In the back. Policeman Cornelly lying
on the ground managed to draw his revolver and
shoot, the bah passing onelnch above Kuhns heart
clear through his lungs and out Of the body. Kuhns
