Mr. Wesley Hammond, merchant
of New Albany, Ind whose wealth is
estimated at S250,O0O, received word
few days ago that the government
had allowed him pension OF eight
dollars a month for services in the
Black Hawk war. This was in 1882,
and Mr.. Hammond, after getting the
notice, remarked that things were
getting right again and the only
fault he has to find was that the pen
sion did not date back from the time
he went into the service, as he needs
the money in his business; eight dol :
lars a month, he says, will hardly
keep him in chewing tobacco. Il
never knew a man yet to refuse
pension from the government no mat
ter how small it was" remarked Mr..
Hammond, and l guess I'll take it,
but it ought to be thirty dollars a
month at least" This is a sample OF
the pension levy under which the
taxpayers of the country are now
grooming.
Two boxes OF dynamite stored in tn e
powder-house Of the Potomac Cement
Company, at Potomac, nine miles
above Cumberland, exploded Tues
day of last week and the only damage
done was the wIecking of the shanty.
Not a pane OF glass in the mill was
shivered and the shock was very
slightly felt in that vicinity The
whole force Of the explosion seemed
to go directly down the river, and In
some farm-housPs east of Potomac
panes of glass were broken and plates
and dishes Jared from their resting
places. The jar was distinctly felt in
Cumberland. The cause Of the ex-
plosion is attributed to rats gnawlng
at the dynamite. The men ate in the
shanty and the scraps from their din
ners fed colony Of rats that took up
their abode there.
In attempting to introduce the erin
oline fad into the rural districts OF
Daden, Tenn, Mrs. Sanders caused
fight in church last Sunday. In en-
tering the church the cumbersome
skirts brushed against several per-
SONS, and Andrew Watson made re-
mark which, insulIed the lady, who
informed her husband. A fight en-
sued, the relatives and friends Of both
parties engaging in the battle. Wo-
men tainted, children screamed and
pandemonium reigned supreme.
Many emerged with broken and bleed
ing heads, vowing vengeance. Sew
eral Of the parties are cunning for
each other, and the crinoline fad is on
the decline.
The ancient Americans who built
the large mound at Walnut Grove,
near Wheeling, little thought they
were providing grading material for
the street PAYERS OF the nineteenth
century, but they were. Contractor
Cochran, who is to pave North Fifth
street, Martins Ferry, had a big hole
to fill. He purchased the mound, and
is now engaged in dumping it in the
hole. Soon it will be paved with fire
brick.
The widow OF Albert Blunt, the
colored man who was lynched at
Chattanooga, Tenn, some days ago,
hasinstituted civil proceedings against
the sheriff of the county. She seeks
to recover $25, OOO damages, alleging
her husband was not properly pro-
tected from a mob, and that he was
not guilty Of the assault with which
he was charged.

The new highway law says the highway
tax shall be 20 cents on the dollar, but
this town at its last annual meeting voted
an additional tax of 20 cents; then there
is he State tax of cents, making as cents
in all on the dollar. The bridges are to be
supported by town tax. The highway
tax of 40 cents will raise 81 400. The town
got from the State 1898, making nearly
z, 900, or S20 for every mile OF road to be
repaired in town. Under the old highway
law, when taxes were paid by labor, the
tax used to be 80 or 35 cents on a dollar
for repairing highways, including bridges.
It seems as II go mile ought to keep the
roads, not including bridges, in good re-
pair, so that they may be in good shape
for fast driving.
