A Nice Little Dead Beat Game That
Will be Played No More.

A Nice Little Dead Beat Game That
Will be Played No More.
This time the cute little game didn't
work. 1t has been fayorite trick Of
some young fellows about town to order
from some livery rig to be sent to
some prominent residence. When the
rig is delivered the boy steps down
from the house with the order 10 hitch
the team, and Mr.. So-and-so will be out
for il in minute. Then the rascals
take the rig and return it to the hitch
ing post at their pleasure. Usually the
horse is driven hard and then left TO
stand out all night.
Last night, Gill d Greenley were or
dered by telephone to send team TO
the residence OF Don J. Leathers. sus-
pecting something wrong, the owners
of the rig watched the team. Sure
enough, when the man had retired,
five or six young fellows piled in and
drove away. All patrolmen Were noti-
fled to be on the look out, and the first
officer to sight the boys was Sitter, on
South Divislon-st. beat. When or
dered to stop, the scamps drove
all the faster. Ex-Deputy Sheriff
Scally happened to be near by with his
fast nag. and he and Sitter gave chase.
Away they all went around corners,
from one street 10 another. When the
bows found they were to be run down,
they all piled out and scampered like a
lot of cockroaches, and all but one
actually got away. Abe Hartley, living
ut 225 Cass-st., and working for Sproul
& Mctiurrin, was captured and locked
up. lie would not say last night who
his companions were. This is an i'm
portant capture, because it breaks up
rs annoying practice as the police
have had TO deal with among the boys
of easy morals about town.

The First Trip Of the Electric Head
light Engine

For some time experiments have been
going on at Hinton with an electric
headlight to be used on the Western di-
vision of the Chesapeake and Ohio rail
road. On Friday last the first trip of
Engine 1888, in charge of Engineer Peck,
was made to Clifton Forge, with the
electric headlight in use. Friday even
ing when No. 1873 came out on the track
ready to take passenger train No 4 west
a number of persons gathered around
the depot to see it, and everybody was
delighted with the sight. Never, per
haps, in the history of Clifton Forge
have the tracks Of the road here been SO
brilliantly lighted as they were upon
this occasion 1t is not only clear
light but an exceedingly strong one. 1t
is safe to say that ordinary objects could
be seen a half mile distant The expert
ment is a decided success and we learn
that two more engines are being similar
ly equipped. The electric motor is placed
just in rear of the reflector, and is run
by steam pipe connecting with the en-
CINE.
Engineer Peck seemed quite fiattered
by the distinction of being the first to
run an engine over the road with one of
these headlights This Engine is now
making daily trips between Hinton and

Warm Springs Railroad.

Bath county famous as a summer resort.
1t was the formal opening of the rail.
road, recently completed, from Coving.
ton to Hot Springs, connecting the Hot,
Healing and Warm with the main stem
of the G. & 0. Railway at Covington.
The first regular train making the initial
trip and carrying a number of railroad
men and passengers. left Covington at
$50 A. M. on the 18th, and arrived at the
Hot Springs at 1920, and by II o'clock
the Healing and Warm Springs were
reached by carriages. The return trip
was made in the same time, the train
leaving the Hot Springs at $50 p. NJ,
carrying % passengers. President In
gals, Vice-President Axtell, and other
railroad officials were in the party
This is all important improvement to
that whole section of country, and in
deed to health and pleasure seeking peo-
pie generally, as it makes of easy access
the three noted Springs above mention
ed, which are destined to become a great
sanitarium both for summer and winter
resort. 1t opens, too, a vast mineral
section, which will be brought to the at
tention of capitalists, as they may chance
to be in the vicinity, or who might come
especially to look for remunerative and
safe investments.
With the Camden system connected
with the Warm Springs road, and con-
tinued up Potts Greek, we will have a
continuous line from the rich ore fields
OF this district, with Pittsburg the great
iron ore producing district and the great
iron making and consuming center con-
nected by rail.

The Industries.

The new machinery for the Wooden
Mill is arriving and being placed in the
building. It will be but short time
before this important industry will be
in full operation, and returning revenues
to the Company.
Tile roof is going up on the casting
room OF the Stove Foundry, and will
shortly be in a condition to protect the
property from the weather. Had it not
been for the complications into which
the suit instituted against it placed the
Clifton Forge Company, both of these
industries would be now fairly underway
and successfully working. The delay,
however, will not affect this final ac
complishment.

Honors for Architect Green

On Friday last Mr.. Fl. p. Jones, OF
Victoria, Texas, happened to stop in
Clifton Forge. Amongst other objects
Of interest which attracted his atten>
ton, was the architectural design of the

better than any he had before seen. It
so happened that his county is about to
erect new court house. and having the
matter under his control, Mr.. Jones at
once began to inquire for the architect
who designed the Nettleton building,
whom he soon found to be Mr.. E. r.
Green. of this place. Before leaving he
contracted with Mr. Green for the plans
for the new courthouse, which will soon
be forwarded to him This is a feather

A Satisfactory Growth.

Disregarding the stringency in money
matters, Clifton Forge has made a record
this year which should be gratifying to
all who are interested of its welfare, and
OF which almost any town would boast.
1t would be surprising to the unobserv-
ant observer in our midst TO realize the
number of buildings which have been
erected during the present year. Look
around in whatever direction you may
choose and there are new buildings COM
pleted or under construction This i'm
provement does not strike the average
citizen so forcibly as it does those who
have been absent for a time. We were
forcibly reminded of this fact last week
in conversation with Mr. P. L. Var
brough, of Milboro. 81 had not been in
Clifton Forge for month or two said
he, and when took look about the
place could see one improvement here,
another there, and so on. l was utterly
surprised at what had been done since L
was here before
We were similarly impressed on visit
to West Clifton this week. A number of
new houses have been erected and others
partly under constructions until it begins
to look as if there were an earnest on the
part of those interested to build a new
town over there. 1t is not our purpose to
indiyidualiZe. but We must mention the
very cosy and comfortable residence cree
ted by T. j. Wilson, on a commanding
elf
entire section of Clifton Forge Mr. e.
G. James will shortly build on an adjoin-
ing lot. Just below him Judge Swami
has recently put up a comfortable and
neat-looking house. Still more recently
Capt. Mr.. J. A. Gentry has erected a very
handsome residence in the same locality.
On the opposite incline Messrs. Merriman
and Wills have just completed d large
building, near the residences of Messrs.
Anderson and East Looking across
Jackson river beyond the Machine
Works, near where the new foot bridge
has just been completed, there can be
seen several buildings going up and lum~
Der on the ground for others. 1t is quite
gratifying to be able to notice such q
spirit of improvement in that section
after so short an absence. But this is
not the only locality where improve
ments are going on. 1t is seen all around,
notably across the river in South Clifton,
and beyond Dry run on the Clifton Forge
property. The town is building and
building rapidly, compared with the
average Virginia towns. Nor is it a
mushroom Or .'boom" growth, but a
steady, healthy business growth which
will justify the confidence which the
public has always placed in the future
of Clifton Forge. Satisfactory as this
growth is, it is nothing to what the flu
ture has in store for us when financial
relief comes to the country.
