INDUSTRIAL NOTES.

Patrick Iagan, Of Dungannon, who is large
Is interested in the construction Of the Three
C's railroad was at the lntermont this week.
He saws work on that road will be resumed
within short time, as the legal complications
which caused the shutdown are being salts
facterily arranged. 1t seems to be generally
conceded that when completed this road will
have some traffic arrangement, which will
enable II to run trains into Big Stone Gap, if
indeed IT does not build a branch line Of its
own into this city.
T. ". Vi. Draper, Vice President and Cen
eral Manager of the Danyille Il East Tennessee
railroad, was in Bristol last Sunday. He said
that the contract for building that road had
been given to a company with ample financial
backing, and that the work Of construction
would now be rapidly pressed to completion.
This road when completed will give Big Stone
Gap another outlet to the sea.
Mr.. Dowden is absent this week getting the
remainder of the machinery necessary for the
Bic Stone Gap Crate l. Mantle Factory. He
expects to have the factory in operation within
the next ten days, and will commence with
about 25 operatives to be rapidly increased tt
sixty. He has orders already for several hun
dred tons OF mouldings.
The laying of the pipe line for the wate
works has been progressing very rapidly dur
ing the past week. The main line along oo'
Avenue is in; and work is now going FORWARD

IIlssusa AssAUrr AND peTsEnYs

~ i<lSsllta AssAULr AND BATxERYs
a ease Of absorbing and national in
terest has come up In Philadelphia.
sIlant policeman perferred charges
Of assault aud battery against a
Young man and woman whom he caught
kissing each other. Public policy de-
mands that this case shall be taken to
the highest court possible, for if kiss
log be assault aud battery it is time peo-
pie knew it. Painful as is the duty OF
saying so, the practice will have to stop,
If the policeman's view Of the matter
be the correct one. Assault and bat
terry cannot be permitted to run ram
pant over the land, even in an amelio-
rated state.
The question may prove difficult to
decide. Considering how general the
practice has been, the authorities on
the subject are few. The knotty point
to decide is whether one party
can be held gEilty of assault and bat
terry when the other party to the act
has freely consented thereto. In the
Philadelphia case the policeman brings
his charge against both parties, assert
ing that each assaulted and battered
the other, theory that would clearly
be untenable were the principle &C
cepted that the consent of the kissee
removes the element of misdemeanOr.
Until decision is reached ia the
Philadelphia case, it will be we'll to OBJ
serve a proper degree of caution. 1t
would be hardship certainly to sus-
pend all kissing during the interval OF
years always required for suit to
reach the court Of last resort, but the
young men might, while waiting for a
judicial decision, require the consent in
writing of the young women before
yenturing upon any osculatory exer-
cises. Ii would be still safer TO insist
that the paper be sworn to before a JUS
tice Of the peace. 1t is unnecessary to
add that similar precautions should be
taken by young women whose lovers
are so lacking in enterprise as to COM
pei them to enter upon the initiative.
OF course, this precaution would not
meet the case If the policeman's view
should finally be upheld, but the courts
would be likely to deal leniently with
offenders who had exercised so reason
able degree of prudence. The case is
a most important one.

Thinks OF the Ohio Situation.

Klnley arrived at the Fifth Avenue HPtel
yesterday, and left for Woodstock, Com,
before noon, accompanied by Mr.. Clareace
Bowen.
About the Convention in his State he
said: THE Republican Convention was
very enthusiastic and harmonious. There
was unanimity that precluded anything
but the best possible feeling. l do not
know when ] have attended a convention
that was more intensely Republican,
"When will the campaign begin"
Il think it will begin in earnest about
September l. A few speeches may be
made in the State during the month OF
August. When the campaign begins there
will be no cessation in the Way of meetings
and speaking until the election
The Major inJimated that he would be in
the saddle, so 10 speak, all the time, speak
ing in every section Of the State. He said
a number of prominest Republican orators
in Ohio would engage actively in the CAM
paign.
"Will the tariff be the main issuel"
~ think it will be one of the main issues.
If the Democratic convention, which meets
very soon, declares in favor Of free coinage
of silver, that will, of course, be another

about it, but was direct and TO the point.

the election easily with the platform

do YOU think the Democrats will nom
mate Governor Campbell again."
THAT seems to be the general belief, 81
though 1t is said that he has very earYest
opposition. However, l can give . in-
formation as to the Democrats, except
that, naturally, expect them to aSack the
tarin vigorously in the coming campaign"

POPULATION AND SUBSISTENCE.

The theory that population tends to
press upon subsistence does not receive
any support from the figures of the lat
est English census.
While during the last ten years the
population OF England and Wales has
increased by 100000 persons, the num-
Der OF paupers has decreased by 10000
aud the number of convicted criminals
by 1000. And it is declared that, while
the population has been increasing rap
idly, the prosperity of the country has
been Outrunning it, and Mr.. GosCHEN's
budget is cited TO prove that although
there are now 5000, 900 more mouths in
Great Britain than there were ten years
ago. each mouth eats more, drinks more
and smokes more.
This is in line with the argu-
ment OF HENRY GEORGE, who calls
attention TO the fact that there are
two hands to every mouth. Ofcourse the
reply is that the productive powers OF
earth are limited. But are they linn
tied? There is no reason to believe that
the greatest possible return of the soil
is secured by the huSbandman in any
part Of Europe or America. And, speak
ing generally, the thiekly settled eoun-
tries arc moro prosperous than those
sparsely inhabited. 1t is also true that
the countries in which famines occur are
those in which the population is de-
voted almost exclusively to agriculture.
In such countries II is due to the lack
>of communication between their vari-
GUS parts, as in Russia, some
parts Of which are bow threatened with
famine. Again, the population of Ire
land has long Been, and still is, decreas-
ing. but The benefcent effects thereof
\are not dlscprnibls.

ARE there such things as accident
waves that sweep over country like a
death dealing epidemic? 1t would act
ually seem so, for great accidents rarely
come singly. The country has not
ceased to shudder at the awful catas-
trophe at Ravenna, Friday, and now
comes news of u similar horror near
Charleston, w. Va, which, il it be pos
sible, IS still more soul-sickening in its
CHASTITY details. The wrecked train
with It's human freight, most of whom
were Fourth of July pleasure-seekers,
went through a trestle, and in an in.

horrible manner, three were fatally and
ffty-eightmore or less seriously injured.
One passenger alone escaped. The de-
tails given in our dispatches furnish

According to our latest batch OF
Chinese news JoHN has been getting
entirely too gay with foreigners sojourn-

His chief delight is in burning and 9TH
erwise demolishing Christian churches,
and outraging and driving away the
worshippers. The Emperor has
promptly set his headsmen at work In

shows an earnest desire to put sum-
