8. A. s. O. EXTENSION.
Talk of Extending the South Atlantic q
Ohio TO Ashyilie.

The Washington Correspondent Of the
Chattanooga Times says: re-
The Cooperative Town people who last
week went down to Elizabethton, are well
pleased with the prospects fornew town.
It's now certain that one or more rail-
roads are soon to be built across the val
ley of East Tennessee through Elizabeth
ton. One of these is to be, in reality, an
extension. of the South Atlantic & Ohio,
running at present from Big Stone Gap to
Bristol. The. proposed new line runs
from Bristol, through Elizabethton, to
Ashyille. This is Chesapeake & Ohio
scheme and is Vanderbilt enterprise.
One of the visitors to Elizabethton of
fered few pertinent criticisms of the
present population. Said he: "Theyare
too slow. Think Of it. A big excursion
Of outside people went down there to con-
slider the scheme of building up a town
there. Certainly the benefit to come to
people who now live there would be enor-
nous in the event big town should be
built up. Under the circumstances the
people should have shown. mere liberal
spirit in providing for the comfortsto the
visitors would have been as free as water.
When the visitors desired to SO up the
mountain to see Cranberry, the railroad
charged half fare for the trip. 1t should
have allowed those visitors the freedom
of the road. 1t would have paid the road

should have left no stone unturned in hos

praises Of the people don't consider
that the people there we're selfish. They
were only lite behind in their ideas OF
how thugs Of this kind should be done.

RAEACHOL'S TRIAL.
The Dynamite Fiend Admits His Respon-
sibility for the st. German and
CIlchY Outrages.

PARIS, April 26.-The trial Of the anar-
chist Ravachol was begun to-day at l i
O'Clock in the Seine Assize Court. There
was great excitement, and the jurymen
and all connected with the court showed
signs of nervousness and apprehension.
After the Indictment had been read,
charging RavacEol with various bomb
throwing outrages, he admitted his full
responsibility for the ST. German and
Clichy outrages. Ravachol is being tried
ut the same time with Simon, Beala, Cliau-
martin and Rosalie Soubere. The evil
dencc was at once begun and is now pro-
ceeding.
Ravachol throughout the arrangement
maintained an aspect OF impassiseness
and addressed his utteranccs directly to
Judge Cues, who presided, and the jury.
The table III the center OF the cOurt~room
was covered with apparatus alleged to have
been used by the alleged dynamiters.
Ravachol, in reply to questions asked
by the Judge, coolly claimed that he was
the author of the explosions. When
asked his motives lie said he had been
reused to Indignation by the condemns
ton of Levalois and Barrett, the anar-
chists. Judge Benoist and Prosecutor
Bulot ought not to have demanded the
death penalty for men who were fathers
of families. The police also had bitterly
maltreated his comrades who had been ar
rested. lie had therefore resolved upon
vengeance. Ravachol boosted that he
personally loaded the bomb which was ex-
ploded at the Rue ST. Germaine. He
placed sixty dynamite cartridges in it,.
He dressed himself we'll and gained en-
trance to Judge Benoist's house unnoticed.
He deposited the machine in the hallway,
ignted the fuse and rushed down the
stairs. He reached tile pavement just as
the bomb exploded. He managed the ex-
plosion in the Rue Clichy in the same
way, but in-that case the powder had be-
come Displaced in transit and he feared
that the explosion would be instantaneous.
Nevertheless he did not hesitate to risk
his life and it turned out that he had time
to escape injury. :.
Ravachoi seemed to glory in the recital
of his crimes. His fellow-pris0ners re-
garded him with admiration, while all the
others in the COURTROOM listened with
looks of horror and anger upon their faces.

TOM ouHILTREE NEXT.
He HAS Intimated that DuelIist Fox
Avoids the Truth.


BRUSSELS, April 24.-TIe much-talked
of duel between Edward Fox and Hailett
Alsop Borrowe took place yesterday after
noon on the seashore at Newport Bains,
near Ostend. William B. Bacon Jr., of
Boston, acted as second for Fox, and Harry
Vane Millbark, as second for Borrowe.
1t was arranged between the seconds that
their principals should each fire two shots
at twelve PAGES, and this programme was
carried out The weapons used were du-
cling pistols of forty-iye caliber When
the word was given The two men fired 81
simultaneously, but neither shot took OBJECT
although tie bali from Fox's pistol passed
close Borrowers head. The pistols were
then reloaded by the seconds and handed
to the duellists, both of whom fired prompt
" when the word was given. This time
Borrowe's bullet pierced his antagonists
coat in the region of the waist, but Fox
escaped unhurt. The seconds, in accor-
dance with the conditions previously
made, then declared the duel ended.
No reconciliation took place after the
contest, and the duelists left the ground
without having spoken to each other;
The principals and seconds aiterward
took the boat at Ostend to return to Lon
don.
LoSpoy, April 24-From ostend Fox
went to Brussels. He will come to Eng

Acknowledgements Of Che benefits which
the South drives from the population
which promises we'll for the future.
Nj. Wilder said that the enterprise and
Advancement Of the so-cailed aNew
South was due almost entirely to North
|erners who had gone there since the war.
Some years ogo, he said, Mr.. Depew had
advised young men to go South, and many
Yale men, among Others had gone there
and we're now among the most prosperous
of Southerners.
Dir. Depew. who presided at the meet
| ing, then said:
"WhenrI returned from my Southern trip
three years ago and told you Of fhe obser-
vations had made, reporter who was
present printed synopsis of u portion Of
what had said, dwelling. particularly up
on my words of praise of the South. /

dence amounted TO bushel a day or
thereabouts. People wanted to know
where they must go toproft by this won

trains and what stations they should get

got hold Of the report. He took extracts
from it and printed them over my name

up and went South.
'sThen began to receive more CORE
spondence. But it was different sort,
Some Of it was infammatory. Some of it
was vituperative. A. good msny of my
correspondents asked, for loans.'
Mr.. Depew talked Of the negro question
entertainingly, and, on the whole, hope
fully He said, however. that prejudice
gave the negro no chance in the North,
and that Sc far as he could see, this
Northern prejudice was increasing. He
said he looked upon Hampton College as
the eventual solution of the negro ques-
ton. In speaking of the prejudice of
Southern whites against the negro he
said
sWhen white man goes South, before
long he joins in helping to suppress the
negro vote, no matter how good Repnb-
lican he ma ' have been in the North.

JOE HUBBARD ASSAULTED.
a Former Citizen OF Big Stone Gap Sc

A special from Lynchburg to the Rich

"Last-night eight negroes-Joh ohm Payne,
Esemon Payne, Joe Payne, Harris Payne,
John~Payne {No. p, Thomas Monroe,
Henry Monroe and William Monroe-were
brought to Jail here from Campbell court
house for safe keeping. These negroes
are charged with making Il malicious as
sault on Joel a Hubbard and E. Il. Brad
shaw, two young white men, in, the neigh
borhood known as He'll Bend, in the
Hover part.ofshe county. 1twas reported
that mob had formed Sunday at Rust
burg to lynch the prisoners, and it was
thought advisable to transfer them to
this city.
Gone report Of the assault with which
the negroes named, and two others-Lew-
is PAYNE and Charles Bradley are charged,
is in substance this: Hubbard, Bradshaw,
James Eads and his son, and Lewis Per
row. had been SEEMING. After this they
went to tobacco barn TO change their
clothing. and while there the party Of
negroes came up, They were ordered to
go away WREN one of them said something
which Hubbard resented. Five of the
negroes then assaulted Hubbard and
Bradshaw. The former was knocked
down with stone and seriously, II not
fatally injured Bradshaw had his jaw
hone fractured. The negroes then He'd,
but were arrested early Tuesday morning.
The negroes had NO business on the prem
ises, and it is believed by many that the
assault was premeditated. 1t is reported
here today that Hubbard's condition was
somewhat improved. !"
