Covington Industries.

The Covington Industries are, we learn
from the Sentinel, IN a progressive
and healthy state. The machine shops
are in operation, and have turned out
some local orders. Systematic work will
be instituted to increase orders. and
reach out to all the country, tributary
to that locality When it is generally
known that the shops are in operation,
that orders can be satisfactorily filled,
we have no doubt they will have enough
work to keep them busy.
The tannery is a fixed fact. 1t will be
of large capacity and employ about 100
hanas at the plant, and during the bark
pealing season about 1000, all of whom
will be paid off in Covington. This will
be an item for the business men there,
and distribute good sum of change.
Work on the furnace is progressing
very satisfactorily, and it is thought by
the first of April it will be completed, in
all probability ready for operation. This
will be an important and valuable plant,
and be the means of inducing, probably,
other industries to locate there.
Altogether the spring will open au-
spicuously for Covington, especially if
active work shall commence on the Potts

Extending It's Lines.

It is now ascertained to be a fact that
the G. & O. railway company has pur-
chased the Lexington and Big Sandy
railroad, which gives the G. q O. direct
line, over its own road to Louisville.
Referring to the transaction, Gen. M. f..
Ingalls,. president of the c. s. O., recently
said, as we notice in the Charleston Ga
zette:
Ever since the present management
took control of the Chesapeake and
Ohio we have had this thing in view.
This present concentrating deal has
been on hand for six months. The terms
of the deal include the taking up Of the
Ohio and Big Sandy and Elizabeth, Lex
ington and Big Sandy six per cent. bonds
and issuing Chesapeake and Ohio four
and half per cent. bonds in their place.
The cost of the two Big Sandy roads will
be paid with part of these bonds. For
the first mortgage bonds we shall give
bond for bond. The certificates of in
debtedness will be replaced by new COM
mon stock. The shares of Big Sandy
will pc replaced by shares of Chesapeake
and Ohio at the rate of one Chesapeake
and Ohio for two Big Sandy. That is
the way we are figuring; the papers are
not yet signed, but the facts are as
stated, and are agreed to by both sides.
The length of road thus secured is 100
miles. We shall issue S., 100000 in four
and half per cent. bonds and $2.00o.000
in common stock. The deal has been
pending SO long simply from the i'm
possibility Of reaching an understanding.
G. P Huntington wanted us to give him
five per cent. bonds; we refused to give
him more than four: finally we compro-
missed on four and half.n

Mr.. Woolwine Missing.

Considerable uneasiness exists as to
the whereabouts of Mr.. r. w. Wool wine,
who lives on the west side of jackson
river and who has been missing since
last Friday night. That night, it Is
said that he left Carter Bros store in
company with three of his (Woolwine's)
boarders a little after nine o'clock. The
boarders went to his house, and it is re-
ported that they do not agree in their
statements as to where they left him.
No one else has been known to see him
since he left the store, and 1t is feared
that he has been foully dealt with. The
river has been searched, but no trace of
his body has been found. A pair Of
shoes was fouad near there by Mr. Wick
line with blood upon them, but they
have not been identified as belonging to
Mr.. Woolwine. Whilst the idea OF foul
play seems to be more general y accept
ed, there are those who think that Mr..
Woolwine has left for other parts,
though there is no apparent cause for
his leaving clandestiney. He had on ly
a small amount of money on his person,
some $15 or $50.
There are number of suspicious cir
cunstances rumored which would lead
to the conclusion that he has been made
away with, but as they have not been
corroborated, we refrain from publishing
them

Big Iron Ore Deal.

A dispatch from Pittsburg, dated the
53rd, says:
Carnegie Brothers have signed con-
tract for the delivery to the Bessemer
Works Of upwards of 100000 tons of
iron ore. Inasmuch as this contract in
wolves the immense sum of 5000, 900, its
consummation proves the strong faith
of the great iron firm in the continual
ton of the present activity in steel rails
and in large demand in the future"
We may look for an active business in
all lines related to the steel trade. The
furnace and mines of this section will
not be slow to appreciate the condition
and address themselves to improving it.
Operations will be enlarged to meet the
demand, and benefits innumerable will
follow to every avenue of enterprise.

Railroad Notes.

Regarding the custom of redeeming
unused tickets on the c. & 0. road, Gen
eral Passenger Agent Fl. w. Fuller
writes as follows to the Waynesboro
Times:
II would say that it is our custom to
do this, and l do not believe there is a
case on record where q ticket has been
properly presented, unused, that has
not been resold or handled through
some scalper, but what we have made
the proper redemption. We even redeem
the return portion of excursion tickets
sold at special rates, limited to certain
dates, deducting the regular one way
rate therefrom and allowing the differ
ence. We have also accommodated the
holders of our mileage books sold at re-
duced rates by the redemption of unused
coupons, even after date Of expiration,
whenever there has been any value at
tached to them, of course, the one way
rate for mileage used.''

ENTIRELY SATISFACTORY.
The Test of the j. B. Hastings Pro-
CESS Thursday
Charleston star-Tribune. Jan. q.

Charleston Star Tribune Jan. q.
The test of converting Virginia pig or
scrap iron into steel, according to the J.
B. Hastings process came off at the
South Side foundry Thursday to the en-
tire satisfaction of all who were present.
The test lasted about two hours and
was personally supervised by Mr.. Has
tings who has in the past few months.
conducted similar tests from Alabama
to Canada, all of which were highly sate
sfactory. That made to day, however,
was more rigid than any previously
made and in the opinion of the experts
present fully established the fact that
the new process is a complete success.
By it steel of the best quality is made
from the lower grade of ores. which is
something that cannot be done by the
old process, and that the Bessemer peo-
pie have never attempted. The test was
witnessed by a large number OF people,
prominent among them being W. 0.
Beckenbaugh, editor and proprietor of
the Southern ReaI Estate ReDieaO of
Baltimore, Md; j. M. Buck and L. p.
Edwards, of Covington, Va. Q. G. Ku-
bach, of Stone Cliff; John Nuttall and
John Holland of Nuttallburg; J. L.
Beury, of Beury; r. r. Michigan, Ra>
venswood; E. J. Bird, of lronton, who
is largely interested in iron furnaces at
Covington and Big Stone Gap, Va, and
Ironton, Ohio; William A. Rinehart, OF
Covington, representing Frank Lyman,
of Brooklyn, n Y, who is prominently
connected with iron mines at Low Moor
and other points in Virginia, and John
Lamb, Of Toronto Canada, who came
here directly from Toronto for the sole
purpose of witnessing this test. Mr..
Long is identified with the iron industry
of Canada. and that he feels a deep in
terest in the new process could not be
better evidenced than by his presence
here to day. In addition to the presence
of the Messrs. Thayer, Charleston was
represented by George Davis, Charles
Ward and others, while Misses Addie
and Nettie Thayer, of this city, and Mrs,
w. 0. Beckenbaugh, of Baltimore,
graced the occasion with their presence
Thomas Bruce, industrial agent of the
G. & O., was also a deeply interested
spectator and expressed himself as thor
oughly satisfied with the result OF test
A cold chisel was applied to a specimen
of the steel made by the new process,
but it not only failed to make an im>
preston on the steel. but retired from
the fight considerably battered about
the edge Much interest is felt by per
sons interested in the iron and steel
business all over the country in the new
process and the patentee and those in
terested with him already have received
overtures from persons prominently
connected with the iron ores of Virginia
to build preliminary plant at once.
The value of the new discovery can
hardly be overestimated, as will readily
be seen by all who are familiar with the
details of the manufacture of iron and
steel
