INDEPENDENCE, Ia. August 90
Monbars is world beaten. Yesterday
afternoon the sensational 2-year-old,
bred by Eagle Bird, out of Lady Maud,
by General Knox, and carrying record
OF 2:2lA, was brought out to beat the
2-year-old stallion record Of 2:20%, held
by Regal Wilkes. The ribbons over the
stallion were held bv the redoubtaole
Budd Doble. The first quarter was
made in 361S, to the half he went In
I'LL; at the third quarter, which was
made in 1:46H. he was joined by run
ner and came home In 2:20 fiat, world
record breaker. The fortunate owners
are RIchtield & feathers, Lexington,
KY, who purchased him as yearling
for S12, 900, and have already refused
$50, 900 for their treasure.

The water supply to bridgeport.

The matter Of water supply from Mar
tins Ferry TO Bridgeport seems still to be
flowing in the minds Of some Of the good
people Of these respective places in some.
what sedimentary condition. The follow
ing statement is submitted toward allaying
such uneasiness:
Bridgeport lays within her limits thirty
thousand dollars worth of water main at
her own expense. AS properly-inveSted
capital, that would yield $l,SOO interest, at
six per cent, annually. Bridgeport VIII
keep her water main in repair. That will
cost about 800 year. Here we have
g, 900 in interest and repairs, as good as
lost every year. 1t is true she will receive
free water for fire protection, but she also
gives Martins Ferry a population equal at
least 10 half of Martins Ferry's, from
which to secure additional water takers on
the basis Of homo consumption. So much
for Bridgeport.
The standpoint from Martins Ferry, Is
that she will have exclusive access to
Bridgeport for water takers, Of any how
400, on the relative basis Of population,
Martins Ferry having twice the popula-
ton with already about 500 takers. Mar
tins Ferry expense annually by reason OF
her water supply is about $l0, 900. Her 500
takers Weld about 5000 per year. This
leaves a deficit Of 5000 to be raised by
special levy. To supply Bridgeport as now
proposed, viii only require q run Of from
two TO three hours longer per day. Not
only viii this deficit be met by the increase
in takers from Bridgeport, but there will
be 800 over every year, to apply in dis
charge Of the bonded debt
This showing which is in substantial
Agreement with the facts in the case, should

James Webb, on the Dick place,
two miles from the Port Royal pike,
lost barn containing seven acres of
fine tobacco and some thirty bushels
of sweet potatoes, which was burned
about one O'Clock Wednesday morn

the barn, and there is unmistakah!e
evidence that it was the work Of an
iucendiary, with strong circum-
stances pointing to the fiend. MIR.
Webb had the tobacco insured for
$500, which is not considered suf-
ficent to cover the loss on the crop.
The barn was new building and
was not insured.

ANNUAL INSPECTION.
The Observation Party of the Louisville
g. Nashville railroad.

The Louisville and Nashville in
spectiOn train consisting of six
coaches has just completed its in.
spection of the Memphis line. The
road is in fair condition, better per-
haps Than it was year ago.
The inspecting party was composed
of the following gentlemen; j. q.
Metcalfe, general manager; r.
Montiort, chief engineer; p. Leeds,
superintendent OF machinery; Geo.
E. Evans. superintendent of trains.
The above party was further aug
mented in numbers by the various
division superintendent, twelve in
number.
( A representative of the Russell
vile Herald took trip over the o..
4 N. with the party last week and de-
scribes the inspecting car, proper, as
follows:
The inspecting car proper is some
thing unique, and with the exception
of the Pennsylvania railroad there is
no other like il in this country. 1t is
composed entirely of glass even to
{ ne roof and floor, which is raised in
the center four feet, with five APP
proaches, similar to stair steps. From
both ends of these steps the superin-
tendents are arranged, each having
his special work assigned to look at
ter. The top step, or floor, is occu.
pied by the general manager and
chief engineer. The entire car is so
arranged that nothing will be over
looked. Even a drawn spike Will be
detected, and that running at the
rate of twenty-five miles an hour.
| There is rod from the Car to the
track on the inside of the rail that
strikes every spike, which is regis
tered, automatically and counted, SO
that should one be missing, all that
is necessary is TO locate it between
the telegraph poles, which are mum
bered, and the omission supplied.
The car has fifteen detectors foI
special purposes, similar to water
gauge. Every low joint, depression
or track out or alignment Is register
ed, and the entire length of every
switch is noted and its condition re
, corded.
The general manager has glass o
water filled to the brim, setting be
side him, and instructions are giver
to the engineer to maintain certain
, rate of speed. This water not only
shows up, without looking at the de
tectors, the condition of the track
but also the efficiency of the engin
eer, whose skill is put to test ever!
five or ten miles by certain rate o
speed. His failure to gauge himsel
properly is counted against him a
well as the division, each desiring t
t have proficiency in every respect
, and the train crews having a laudabI
q ambition to equal other divisions, ar
put on their mettle.

GET EApY TO PAY.
The Mineral Road Completed to the
County Line and Half of the Sub
scriptions to be Called For.

The Mineral Railroad is now vir-
tually completed TO the county line,
or will be in few days, and we are
reliably informed that the l.. 4 n.
Company will very soon make call
on the citizens Of GAINESVILLE for half
of their subscriptions, it being speci-
fed in the contract that half Of the
subscriptions were to be paid when
the road was completed to the county
line and the other half when the line
is finished to Dickson. The con-
struction of the other end of the line
will be postponed until next year.
The reason for this, we are told, is
the general depression in financial
matters, and the suspension of the
two furnaces in Nashville chat were
to take iron ore over the other end
from the Cumberland Furnace prop
erty. Since these furnaces are no
longer in operation there would be
no profitable hauling over the road
from Nanleer to Dickson, and there
fore the expense of construction now
would be great outlay Of capital for
no profit to the company. This is
the way the company reasons about
the matter, but it still feels bound TO
complete the line to Dickson as soon
as it is practicable.
On the other hand some of the
subscribers feel aggrieved that this
work Should he suspended, since the
work on the other end of the line
from Dickson to Cumberland furnact
has been completed, thus allowing
the Nashville, Chattanooga & St
Louis road 10 run trains out to The
furnace, drawing trade from thi,
market to other points, for which
our people subscribed their money tC
reach and to which they are legiti-
matelv entitled.
The gap to be completed is only
about seven miles, and it is hardly
practicable now for the company tt
complete it this winter. We hope
however, that the construction
will be renewed early mex
spriug and that the whOl'
matter will be understood and will
work out satisfactorily to all con
Cerned.
