THE GREAT GROWTH
OF IRON BLAST FURNACE CAPACITY IN THE BIG
STONE GAP-MIDDLESBOROUGH DISTRICT.
AS Shown by the Report of John r. Proctor, State
Geologist of Kentucky,--Bg Stone Gap the
Center Of the LargestIron District in the u. S.

Prof. Ohm r. Proctor, Director of the
Kentucky geological survey. has compiled
and the survey has recently published a
map and table that are eloquent in behalf
of this section of country, putting in a
condensed shape, points that show its SUI
periority over other parts of the country
for making the best and cheapest iron.
The map shows the Appalachian coal field
and different symbols indicate the blast
furnaces using coke, built prior to 1890,
and those built during 1890 and 1891; the
coke plants, and the points at which they
are located. All of this shows that in the
Birmingham and Chattanooga districts,
no furnaces have been built during 1890
and 1891, while, in the section between
Middlesborough and Lynchburg, in those
two years, the worst known, from bust
ness point of view, in forty years, nine
teen furnaces have been erected which in
crease the capacity of this section from
:,S6000 tons per annum to ! ,G23, 900 tons,
while in the Big Stone Gap-Middlesb o-
rough district which includes Bristol,
Johnson City and Embrecvile-seven fur
naces have been built in those two years,
with a capacity of 300 900 tons. To spec
ify more particularly the improvement in
this section of the south, there have been
built at Big Stone Gap, two furnaces;

Born Negro.

fled in the chancery court of Rutherford

gro, is the complainant. He claims to be
the son of K. c. and Locke Barlow, white
people, now deceased, and claims to be a
full brother of Jack'and Mary Barlow, who
are white. He alleges that by mere I'M
accountable freak of nature he was born a
negro, but that he was recognized during
the life of L. c. and Locke Barlow as their
lawful son, and was treated as member of
the family. He now claims that because of
his dark skin his brother and sister are at
tempting to defraud him out OF his share of
his fathers estate. The bill enjoins fur
Their disposition of the property until the
question of paternity is settled

Gercia,s Case

NEW ORLEANS, LA, Feb. 15.-The case of
the United States VS.. Eugene F. Garcia.
paying teller of the Louisiana national
bank, came up to-day in the United States
circuit court Garcia is charged with the
embezzlement of S194, 600 of the funds of the
bank. There is much sympathy
for Garcia, who alleges the shortage
occurred through mistakes. Garcia testi-
fed he never stole the money and never
appropriated it to his own use. The
witness solemnIy swore that he
never speculated. gambled, lived high
or kept horses. His life was simple, quiet,
transformations. He had good salary and
was satisfied with t. For twenty-six
years he was not one hour late in coming
to work Garcia was very much affected !;
tears frequently welled up and his voice
became husky with emotion.
Dr. Souchon testified to the condition of
Garcia during the past five or six years, He
considered Garcia very nervous and an
impressionable man, and very absent
minded. In fact, the witness was aston
ished that Garcia could occupy such re-
sponsible position as paying teller to large
bank.

Jewell near here, has been traced across
Red River into the adjoining county of Lit
tie River When last heard from, about 2
o'clock this afternoon, posse was hot on
his trail and less than one hour behind him.
His capture is now regarded as certain, and
the return of the posse with him in charge
is expected at any hour. Public indigna-
ton is no way abated, and it is likely even
a worse fate than hanging awaits the brute
when captured. All of the more intelligent
and better class of negroes are as loud in
their condemnation of the crime as are the
whites, and express desire TO assist in his
punishment whenever he is captured.
