The following changes in the Central rail-
road time table are announced: No 2, from
Ath-@ta, Macon and Augusta. will arrive at
6:20'p m, instead OF 5:55 p. m. No. /. for
Augusta, will arrive at that point at IL 80

changes in the arrival and departure OF
other trains.
Seaborn F. Cooper, so long the popular
agent and operator at Meldrim, and who
welded Miss Jones of Rocky Ford some
time ago, has been given the agency at that
place. which was made vacant by the resig-
nation of Mr.. c. G.. Cummings, who has
accepted position in Brunswick. Mr.. r.
Furman, who was in the employ of the
Central. succeeds to the position at
Meldrim.
f. M. Mikell has resigned his position on
the Wilmington and Jacksonville route of
the railway mail service, to accept a place
of Ohio. John Bausket. formerly connected
with the Grand Central hotel of Columbia,
succeeds Mr.. Mikell. Walter l.. Nelson Of

SUPREME COURT RELIEF BILL.
A Brief Statement of It's Leading
Features.

A Brief Statement of It's Leading
Features.
The bill, says the New York Mail and
Express, provides for the appointment by
the President of an additional circuit judge
in each circuit. 1t then creates a federal
general term, in the shape of circuit court
Of appeals, to consist of three judges, two
to be. a quorum. Upon this court of ap-
peals are competent to sit the chief Justice
or tn associate justice of the supreme court
assig ned to each circuit, one or both the cir
cult judges and one or more of the district
| judi ses in each circuit, the personnel of the
| court being determined by the rank of the
| several justices In the circuit or, If of the
SAME rank by seniority of appointment.
| An annual term is to be held in each Of the
nine circuits, in the respective cities of Bos-
ton, New York, Philadelphia. Richmond,
| New Orleans, Cincinnati, Chicago, st.
| Louis and San Francisco.
| The new law abolishes the appeals now
! allo wed from the district to the circuit
1 courts, and provides for an appeal directly
| to the supreme court, or to the new court of
| appeals. Appeals from the district or cir
4 cult courts to the supreme court are allowed
| only in the following instances, viz. Where
| the question of jurisdiction is raised; dual
1
| crime; cases involving the construction or
\ application Of the constitution but
not Of acts Of cougressl; and cases in which
| the law of state is claimed to be in con-
| travention Of the constitution of the United
| States. The new law leaves untouched the
| jurisdiction of the supreme court in cases
| appealed from the highest court of any
| state but in all other cases than those cited
it gives appellate jurisdiction to the new
| circuit court of appeals.
The Judgment of this court of appeals is
| made final in all cases in which the juris-
diction is dependent upon the character of
| the suitors as citizens or aliens; in cases
arising under the patent, revenue and
criminal laws, and in admiralty cases other
than prizes. The court of appeals may
however, certify important or difficult cases
direct to the supreme court, or the latter
may itself direct the lower court to send up
for determination any case pending therein,
and in all other cases an appeal is authorized
from the court of appeals to the supreme
court when the matter in controversy ex-
ceeds 81 900.
The effect of these provisions must be
| readily apparent While in all cases
affecting the life liberty or legitimate pur-
suit of happiness the right of appeal to the
highest tribunal in the land is preserved In
tact to every citizen, an immense relief
will be at once experienced by
the supreme court judges in wiping
from their calendar the numerous
patent, revenue, admiralty and other cons
troversies which now take up so much
time. but which an inferior court could
determine with perfect propriety and with
equal Justice, and any reasonable litigant
with less than $1,000 at stake should rest
content with the final Judgment of three
competent judges sitting in the circuit
court of appeals.

most telling argument in favor of the Poca-
hontas Goals Is found in tonnage
figures. In 1882, prior to the &c
ouirement of the road by the
Norfolk and Western Company, the line
carried only 4,7s5 tons of coal. In 1888 the
New-River division was opened. In that
wear and the year following the road car
ried no coal to Tidewater. but handled
1O5,SO and 272,17s local tons for the two
years respectively. In 1889 the road
hauled 1,i95,446 Tidewater and 980,595
line-trade Qocal) tons. Total for 1889 of
coal and coke (tons), .2,124,249. Fol, the
latter year the total shipments OF coal ex-
elusive of that tor the company's use was
!, 1,543, 900 tons.
The three principal divisions of the Flat
Top region are the Pocahontas district,
including the workings at and near the
town of Pocahontas, the Bluestone dis
trict, including the workings on the Blue
stone near Bramwell, Mercer county. w.
Va, and the Elkhorn district, embracing
the workings in Mcdowell county, w. Va.
on the northeast slope of Flat Top noun
tain. Most of the coal-lands are owned by
the Flat Top Coal-Land Association and
embrace 10000 acres OF land in Tazewell
county. Va, 5000 acres in Mercer county,
w. Va, 55, 900 acres in Mcdowell county,
w. Va, and nearly 100000 acres in
Wyoming county, w. Va. which latter
are undeveloped but give assurance
of a rich yield. In preparing coal for ship
ment every. ton must come up to given
standard, else it is thrown aside and con-
demned. This with the general qualities
of the coal, such as high percentage OF
fixed carbon, low percentage of volatile
matter and ash, the unsurpassed quality OF
the coke it yields, and its superiority for
steaming purposes has made its promi-
nence in the markets phenomenal.

This embraces tier of counties begin
ming in Maryland and running along the
western slope of the Blue Ridge to Roa-
noke, and which are not only among the
most fertile agricultural counties in the
Union, but abound in many instances IN
other valuable minerals. Many of the IRON
ore beds have been worked, and the grade
of their product is of the highest. Many
others, analysis show, will yield splendid
pig.
A MOST IMPORTANT MATTER.
AS o most important matter in this con-
nection it should be mentioned that there
are most valuable manganese-mines at
Shenandoah, Ekton, Crlmona. Dooms,
Waynesboro' junction, and Lyndhurst.
The locations in part of iron-ores on the
rest of the system are Blue Ridge. Bon
sacks. Roanoke, Salem, Big Spring, Shaws-
vile, Christiansburg, Vickers, Clark Sum-
init, Max Meadows, Wytheville. Atkins,
Abingdon, or all along the main stem west
of LynchburR. and at Tip Top and
along the Clinch-Valley division, and on
the Cripple-Cree extension and branches.
Every ore-bed on or accessible to the Nor
folk and Western system has been inspected
and samples of its product analyzed by
experts at the expense of the company,
and faithfully and conscientiously reported
upon, so that no one who invests in any OF
this ore property need do so with his ewes
shut.

beds have been examined by geological
experts and the most exhaustive reports

McCreath saws ten thousand tons daily
product would only exhaust one acre
ous. therefore, he adds. that the region is q
great storehouse of coal for steam-making
aud cooking purposes, and that the ton
mage to be furnished to the Norfolk and
Western Railroad Company is not now to
be limited by any want of coal in the re-
gion, but only by the limits imposed by
the market for fuel. The report here men,
toned was made In 1884, since when time
the developments in the region have de-
monstrated that all of McCreath's state
ments were conservative almost to fault.
QUALITY OF The COAL.
As to the high quality of the coal this
has been demonstrated by the most care
full chemical analysis by the severest prac:
teal tests. and by results in the matter OF
steam-making, fusing, quantity OF resi-;
dunn, as compared with the standard
conls of the country. These tests have
been made from samples taken from the

and, the product of these furnaces was
nauied To the main line over the
mountains In wagons. The Cripple.
creek ores, so far as worked end
prospected, are those living at the lower
siurian llmestones and the mountain ores
geologically connected with the Potsdam
sandstone. These limestone ores, says
McCreath in his report of 1884, show as
high general character as any brown
hematites mined in this country" VI the
mountain orc he says in his same report
they have been but little worked, but
represent the same horizon az those which
have been extensively workedin numerous
other places which have frequently af,
forded large quantities of good ores and
which are now furnishing the regular
supplies to the Grocer furnace at
Roanoke and the Gem furnace ct Mines"
In his joint report with L. s. dinyieiliers
made In 1887 the same authority, after
chasing for convenience sake oil tho
Cripple-Creek ores as brown heInatite and
giving two analyses of the mountain ores,
says the richness of the material which
these beds would furnish cannot be
doubted by any one investigating the pro
pertles. Their position above the
water level will prevent the necessity OF
underground work for many years." In
the latter report the limestone oresare un-
Ger general Characterization spoken OK
as rich in metallic iron and low IN phos-
phorous-many OF them being within the
Bessemer limits comparatively free from
siiiceous matter, and with generally
open structure" Great stress is laid upon
the ease and cheepness with which the ore
can be mined and washed.
In the Cripple Creek region fux is almost

purposes, which is most important fac
tor. Upon evaporation it deposits very
little sediment. There is therefore, very
little difficulty in keeping boilers clean,
and q consequent avoidance OF what is
frequently serious lmpediment In gene
rating steam economically and rapidly.
Taking Pulaski as point OF manutac-
tory that would give an average, the cost
of making pig-iron per ton IS put at Ten
Dollars and Nineteen Cents. This includes
the ore and freight on 1t, the coke and
freight on it, the limestone, the labor. and
incidentals and repairs. In concluding
their report McCreath and dlnyilliers
say: 1.-The occurrence here OF first
class and cheaply mined iron-ore,
the proximity of a magnificent coking-
field, with limestone tor fiuxlng, every

slant supply of pure water, surrounded by

and with numerous eligible sites tor manu-;

vantages for the investment OF capital"
To go into details regarding the ores
along the main stem of the Norfolk ana
Western would involve more space than IS
contemplated in this article, Besides,
many of them belong to workings that
have long been DEVELOPED and have been
thoroughly tested in the furnace. They
embrace the red hematite limonltes, mag
