ANEW SYSTEM OF RoADMAKrNo
Its Protector Claims Superiority and
Cheapness Over the Macadam.

~N~~"N~-N~N~~-~~
MIR. Clovis +. Keach of Burrill-
Vile, X. l., at q hearing before the
joint special COMMITTEES appointed
to inquire into and report OH the
condition of roads in the state of
Rhode Island, explained a system
of roadmaking which in many re-
spects is different from any other,
He presented a communication
from 81 of the residents of his
town setting forth that they had
witnessed test of the road and
the result was very satisfactory.
The roadway proper is formed of
a gravel or broken stone surface
divided into sections by means of
transverse lines or layer stones,
which are flush with the surface.
These lines of stone tend to make
the gravel or intermediate mate
rial proof against local disturbance
from the Unfortunately heavy vehi-
Gle wheels or from the action of
rushing water.
Each side Of the roadbed is
flanked by gutter, filed in with
broken stone or cObblestones, which
provides a curblike structure to
prevent the gravel from being
unduly spread by the constant ac-
ton of the wheels. The roadbed
is slightly curving along the GEN.
ter, with slight channel along
the edges, where ut suitable inter-
walls are constructed blind drains
that allow the water to escape in
the adjacent soil. On an incline
a series of oblique or transverse
breakers or dams are made to de-
fleet the water aside before it has
attained sufficient volume and
momentum to be injurious.
Mr.. Roach claimed that his road
was superior to the macadam in
many ways. In relation to the
financial side of the question, he
believed that 81 would go as far
as 80 for3 other roads. The road
built on the Burrillville highway
for test purposes cost 80 per rum
ming rod, 8 feet in width and from
1 to 2 feet in depth. In some
places it would cost less. In figur-
ing the cost he did not figure the
cost of the stone, which was near
by.-Providence Journal.

Enylish as She Is spelled.

"Spell toes" said the mother,
who was teaching her little daugh-
ter, seven years old, to spell.
"T-o-z-e," answered the child.
"No, dear, that's not right.
T-o-e-s spells toes"
but il sounds like t-o-z-e."
81 know it; but you cannot go
by the sound"
Then. in order TO enforce this
proposition. the mother called ON
her daughter to spell froze.
"F-r-o-e-s," said the child.
"No, you're wrong again. This
time we do use the and spell the
word f-r-o-z-e."
"Iiuh!" grunted the child.
"Now, spell rose" said the moth
or.
The child hesitated. Finally she
said: IL don't know whether To
say r-o-z-e or r-o-e-s and really /
don't know that either way would
be right"
"Spell it r-o-s-e," said the moth
er, though there is another word
pronounced just like it that's SPELL
ed r-o-e-s. That word is the name
of the spawn of fishes"
The poor little child looked very
miserable.
"Just one more word" said the
mother. Tell me how you spell
blows"
WELL" said the child, who Ind
quite enough nonsense, as she view
ed it, from her mother, and had
suddenly made up her mind to pay
back in kind, II spell it three ways.
l spell it b-l-o-z-e for breakfast,
b-l-o-e-s for dinner, and b-l-o-s-e
for supper"
81 spell it b-l-o-w-s MI the time"
said the mother.
The child said nothing for n min
ute or two, then looking up, she
solemnly remarked.
IL think, mamma, that the Eng
lish language was made for persons
very, very well educated."-Ne
York Times.

Cut with a Hatchst.

Sartin Webb was assaulted at
Ashland, KY, by his demented wife
with a sharp Ratchet and almost
slashed to pieces about the head
and neck. The mans wounds, six
in number, are serious, but may
not result fatally, as there is but
one slight fracture of the skull.
The wife raved under the halluci-
nation that Webb had murdered
their three children and persist
emily endeavored to show him their
dead bodies. He pacified her, but in
an unguarded moment she attack
cd and fioored him and dealt the
CHASTITY wounds. The woman, who
has been confined in both the An
chorage and Lexington asylums,
will be tried for lunacy. The pair
arc the parents of two grown SONS

Hard On the Feudal Fighters.

An Easern Kentucky correspond
ent-perhaps one of these enter
prising news bureaus that have un-
dertaken to keep the feuds running
riot in newspaper columns, if no
where else-has again worked the
Eastern press on the venerable old
story about the dramatic termina-
ton of the Hatfield-McCoy feud by
the marriage of Miss Mccoy to a
scion of the rival clan. No accur-
ate account has been kept, but it
is thought that this same marriage
has terminated this same feud at
least a dozen times in the last four
years. AS usual the marriage hap
pened "a few days SINCE" and this
time the feud had been raging for
thirty years." The attempt to
weave romance about the Ken
lucky feuds is too absurd to sue
coed. There is nothing romantic
or heroic about them. They are
simply brawls between ignorant,
vicious, idle, drunken vagabonds
and loafers, who would usually
rather shoot each other sneakingly
from ambush than participate in a
stand-up fight. The feud-fighter
of the mountains is merely de-
graded brute. There is no heroism
or romance about him or his cow
ardly crimes, notwithstanding the
vast amount of slushy fiction that
has been worked up over him by
enterprising space writers.--Courier

PROSPERITY AHEAD.
Middlesborough's Prospects Bright
ened BY the Success of Its
New Furnaces.


TheTrecent blowing in" of the
furnaces at Middlesborouh caused
the people to greatly rejoice, for il
signifies that the large amount OF
money tied up for the last two years
in the largest combined steel and
iron plant in the south is TO be re-
leased, and, while il is an expert
ment by u comparatively new metl .
cd, the management feel certain OF
it's ultimate success. The sums
made thus far by the furnaces are
far beyond the most sanguine ex-
pectations of their experts. In fact,
it is now thought that the ore will
prove to be self-huxing. So far as
the limonites and red ores of that
section have been tested, they equal
those of Pennsylvania and Virginia
The furnaces at Big Stone Gap are
making pig of great value and at a
handsome net profit, and with their
facilities there is no doubt that
these furnaces will make even a
better grade; in fact, it is said that
the Messrs. Watts propose to have
pig" at Chicago of exceptional
value at 50 per ton. In addition
to this, they will have steel ingots
at - less per ton than can be made
anywhere else in the world. If this
be true, then no English money is
necessary to develop that section.
Another point is, when these plants
are in full operation, they will re-
quire fifteen hundred tons of raw
material daily and will work from
$50 to 700 men. Again, the iron
resources are inexhaustible. Re-
ports of eminent engineers indi-
cate that the ore bodies are from
so to 100 feet in thickness. Taking
all these things into consideration,
there is every reason to believe
that Middlesborough will, within
the next five years, have $4,000 in
habitants, and with the develop
ment of Middlesborough follows
the prosperity of the entire state.

Samuel Caskey Instantly Killed: and
Jesse Caskey Dangerously
Wounded.

Jesse Caskey Dangerously
Wounded.
Late last Monday evening news
reached town that one man was
killed and two others badly il not
seriously wounded in a fray on
what is known as Lick Fork, about
five miles from town, on the Mar
tinsburg road.
Reports have been so conflicting
that II is impossible to get at tho
facts, but from the best informa-
ton We can get it appears to be
about as follows:
There has been a feud of bad
feeling existing between Samuel w.
Caskey on one side and his brother
jeff and nephew Jess opposing him.
During the afternoon of Monday,
Sam had gone to a neighbors (Thos.
Caskey) TO borrow saw and while
there jeff and Jesse came. jeff
entered the house and Immediately
commenced a row with Sam, who
il appears did ali he could to avoid
trouble, and said to his brother,
jeff, have nothing against you
and do not want any trouble" At
this moment Jesse came in with
his hand in his pocket, approached
Sam and acted as if he was going
to draw pistol, whereupon Sam
shot him in the breast. At this
instant jeff said "g-d--you, you
have shot Jess" and pulling his
pistol fred at Sam, first shot miss
ing, second shot taking effect in or
near the heart, and as Sam began
to fall he shot Mt jeff, the ball
striking a button and glancing Off.
After Sam had fallen TO the floor
and expired, jeff emptied his pis-
tol at him, one shot taking effect in
his shoulder. jeff Immediately
left the premises and is still at
large, heavily armed. Deputy Sher-
iff Phipps and posse are in
pursuit, and in all probability he
will be captured in short while.
1t is sincerely hoped that this
may end the trouble heretofore
existing. The participants and
their relatives of which there is u
long list of them, are, and have
always been an honest industrious
moral people, and stand as fair in
the county as any of her citizens
and none are more surprised ut
this terrible affair than those who
knew them best. Sam was buried
by the Masonic order, of which he
was a respected member, Wednes-
day evening at the neighborhood
burying ground.--West Liberty

A Democratic Senate.

The election of Mr.. Roach, a
democrat To the United States sem
ate by the North Dakota Legislature
rem owes oil doubt that the upper
house of congress will be controlled
by the democrats.
Counting Roach, and Martin, of
Kansas, the democrats have forty
four United States senator's, thus
giving them the control of the sem
ate, the vote of the Vice President,
over all possible combinations,
although ON most questions the
populists will probably act with
the democrats rather than the re-
publicans.
Martin will doubtless be seated,
but whether admitted or not, there
is no chance for republican sem
ator from his state.
At last, therefore, a democratic
senate is assured--a fact about
which there should have been no
doubt Immediately after the No
vember election, and about which
there. would have been no doubt il
United States senators were, as they
ought to be, chosen by the people.

Big Sale of Coal.

John G. Mcclure, of Beattyville,
president of Three Forks Deposit
bank and n large real estate owner
has recently sold $4,000 worth of
coal in the bank, half TO be taken
out this year and half next. We
did not learn what he is To get per
bushel, but at one cent it would
require 100000 bushels of coal.
That is one of the ways that rail.
roads make money for Eastern Ken
lucky. There is enough coal in this
part Of the state to make the owners
of it all millionaires if it were sold
at one cent a bushel.--Jackson

A Good Puzzle.

Mathematical puzzles are gener-
ally very far from interesting, but
there is one which would puzzle
old algebra" Davis to explain. 1t
is this. Open a book at random
and select word within the first
ten lines and less than the tenth
word from the end of the line.
Now double the number of the
page and multiply the sum by five |;
then add twenty; then add the
number of the line selected; then
add five; then multiply the sum by
ten and add the number of the
word in the line. When this has
been done, subtract 250s and the
remainder in the unit column will
indicate the number of. the word,
in the ten column the number of
the line, and the remaining figures
will give the number of the page,
The result is infallible. That Is not
remarkable. The curious thing
about il Is, how is this result OBJ.

The Mason-Foard Imbroglio.

The long expected sensation at
Frankfort has been sprung. 1t is
in regard to the affairs of the Ma
son-Ford Co. Both factions of the
Sinking Fund Commission sub
mitted reports Friday in regard to
the indebtedness of the Mason
Ford Co., lessees of the peniten-
tiary to the state. The minority
report of Governor Brown and Sec
rotary Headly covered thirty-eight
pages of typewriter matter, and it
throws the controversy between
the state and lessees wide open.
The governor and secretary allege
an error in the bookkeeping of the
lessees of over 100000, and claim
that the amount due the state from
the lessees is $4,000. The major
ity report also came in signed by
Treasurer Hale, Auditor Norman
and Attorney General Hendrick.
The majority report fixes the in
debtedness at $4,000. Tho lessees
claim that the state really owes
them. and thus it will be at once
seen that the controversy is pretty
broad one.-Hopkinsville Ken

State Training Schools.

The bill before the Legislature
for three training schools shonld,
we believe, become a law. II pro-
vides that in view of the great need
of training teachers for our public
school that three training schools,
one in Eastern, one in Western and
one in Southern Kentucky, be es-
tablished. They shall DO at least
rs miles apart and that distance
from Lexington. The sites ARE u,
bs chosen by SIX trustees appointed
by the Governor. These trustees
are to equip and control the schools.
A tax Of one-haH cent on the 500
Of taxable property in the Common-
wealth will be necessary to found
and support these schools. But If
the Legislature will submit the
proposition to the people they will

Fireballs Save Coal.

The use of freballs saves one-third
coai and is common enough in England,
from the laborer's cottage to the lodg.
ings of thrifty gentlewomen in Bath and
Cheltenham. Made of one.third coal
dust, two-thirds sand and beaten clay,
nodded with water into bslls the size of
a goose egg and dried, they are perma.
nent fuel. When the coal fire is hot and
red dozen OF these balls put into the
furnace will become red-hot and stay 50,
like red-hot brick, keeping up the heat
far longer than coal without them.
There ia nothing like them for keeping
the house warm at night, and half q
dozen put red. hot into brazier or porta-
BILE furnace wouldltake-the, chill off bed
rooms very comfortably. When rooms
are heated, by stoves economy lies in
never letting the fire 20 down in cold
weather, as it takes more heat to warm
the looms when the walls are chilled
than it does to keep them 50 for days.

Thirstless Birds.

The petrels, especially the Fulmar

returning only to the lard for. breeding
purposes, or after long continuance OF
storms. They cannot drink the salt

fresh water is concerned, upon the fall
ing rain. Birds Of the parrot species,
in a state of nature, hardly ever drink,
any moisture required to sustain their
system being taken with their food,
which consists of fruits, nuts, and vege-
tables. Even in captivity they have
been known to abstain from fluids for
long periods. An instance is recorded
Of parrot living in the Geological Gar

for ffty.two years. The ostrich has

The First Complete Bible.

The first complete Bible printed in
England was issued in 1885 without any
publishers name. 1t was the work of
the celebrated Miles Coverdale, who IL
corporated, with revisious, Tyndale's
books of the New Testament, as well as
his Pentateuch and Book of Jonah. 1t
was thus only partially original as far as
Coverdale was concerned, the remaining
portion being a translation of . transla.
ton. No perfect copy Of this edition is
known to be in existence. A copy sold
. few years ago in London for sum
equal to $500 had the titlei nineteen
leaves and the map missing. The Cover.
dale Bible is the one mentioned in these
notes heretofore as the "Bug Bible" and
the "Treacle Bible," on account of two
curious passages found therein, The
passage in jeremiah which we now read
as ssIs there no balm in Gilead3" is made
by Coverdale to read as ..Is there no
more treacle at Gahahadf" The psalm
which says "Thou shalt not be afraid OF
the terror by night" reads, "Thou shalt
not nede to bee afrayed for any bugs by
night" Tho ninth psalm, in that por-
ton which should say "Put them in fear,
o Lord" Coverdale makes to say. "Setsa
schoolmaster over them. st. Louis Re-
