The Charleston, Cincinnati & Chi

tute one consolidated company to be

quarters will be established at Blacks.
burg, S. @. Mr.. Charles E. Hitler, of
Boston, who is at the head OF the
bondholders' committee, makes the
following statement:
"The road is sooner or later to be
completed across the mountains. The
gentlemen who have purchased the
road have put 100000 OF new capi
tai into the concern in order to secure
control OF the eastern and western sec.
tions OF the line, and this is a sufficient
: guarantee of their intention to CARY
the matter to completion. The orig
inal intention was to build a through
. line from Charleston across the noun
tains, and there can be no question O
tho fact that this is to be done. Worl
in this direction would already hav
" been begun except for the financia
h" stringency of the last few months, bu
= while the plans of the company hav
been retarded, they have not bee
= abandoned, and the Ohio River
:" Charleston Road will ultimately be
~ through line"
" With the sale of the system to tn
- ) bondholders a large proportion of il
= debt is practically cancelled, and th
- new company will have much th
20 same facility for extending and in
. proving the road that Drexel, Morga
o d Co. now have with the Richmon

"Tho Paradise Of Fools. -


The opera house was crowded last
night to hear eX-Goy Robt. J.. Taylor
In his new lecture. "The Paradise of
Fools" and if there was single one
present who was not entertained to
his iull capacity, he has not been
heard from. Mr.. Taylor was in his
usual good spirits and his new lecture
enables him to display to the best ad-
vantage those rare powers, with which
he has held, a willing captive, for Is
years, the heart OF his native State.
He never made failure before the
people OF Tennessee. His own warm,
sympathetic heart is his pilot when he
sets sail for the cardiac regions of his
fellow man and he always lands.
"The Paradise of Fools" is not only
brilliant and entertaining, but phil
osophical and profound. 1t bears
abundant evidence that its creator has
sounded all the depths and shoals of
human life with human heart as q
plummet, bringing laughter from the
darkest chasms of gloom and demon
strating clearly that the most elevated
intellectual wit may be clothed in
blue jeans with an effect more start
ling than if it were robed in the most
royal purple OF rhetoric. His object
is not only to amuse, but to remove
burdens and give sad hearts lasting
cheer. His lecture not only leaves q
pleasant memory, but sugar-coats
many OF the bitter pills OF life so that
: gaggy oblivion will take them. His
} description of paradise is splendid
+, effort at fine composition and is bril-
3 liant and perfect restoration of that
original Eden. He who pronounces
it tiresome surely never descended
from that unhappy pair who lost it.
: For an hour and half he kept his
: audience swinging like a pendulum
G between humor and pathos, between
t sublime heights Of impassioned orato'
tory and the most elevated plain of wit
1t is true that many parts of the
lecture are not above higher criticism
! but the pessimistic winnings of little
critic with torpid liver will be com
pletely drowned out by the spouta
n neous plaudits Of the people.
Mr.. Taylor is master of the human
d. heart and directs it how to batteI
% down its gloomy environments will
t. its own beat. He uncovers the pitfall
sr and shows his hearers how to laugh
as and go around them.
er The lecture shows great thought il
preparation and is delivered with tn
:, ease and grace Of born orator. 1t j

THE COKE INDUSTRY
An Enormous Impulse Given to tn
Production of Pig Iron.

An Enormous Impulse Given to the
Production of Pig Iron.
The output Of pig-iron from the blast
furnaces in the nited States has in
creased to a surprising extent since 1850.
The EHgiHeeftHg MGgd5iHc publishes an
article on the coke industry, by William
CLYDE wilkins, a Pittsburg engineer.
who says that while the influence Of i'm
proved forms Of furnaces, hot blast
stoves, and blowing engines is to be con-
sidered, 1t Is undoubtedly true that very
large share of the increase is due to the
substitution of coke for coal as fuel. In
1873 John Fulton, in a report of the
Pennsylvania State Geological Survey.
wrote: 1T is also manifest that coke is
destined TO become the leading fuel for
blast furnaces, and to retain this position
from its almost ineXhaustible source of
supply, its caloriflc intensity, and its con-
tinued economy" The results in pres
ent blast furnace practice have more than
justified bls prophecy. Previous to the
year last named the amount of anthracite
coal used to produce one ton of pig-iron
was 1.S5 tons. Now, in the Pittsburg
district, where there are twenty-three
blast furnaces, the yield OF pig-iron is one
ton to one ton OF coke, while furnace "F" !"
at the Edgar Thomson Steel Works.
has used as low as l,S45 pounds
of coke to produce one ton Of
IRON. GLluuldI6u DN the demands
OF the turnace-men, the manufacture OF
coke in the United States has increased
to a very large extent. In 1891 the coke
industry was in progress in no less than
twenty States, requiring 1925 ovens
The output Of coke for that year, accord
ing to the United States census, was TO-
352, SIS tOnss
The manufacture of coke on large
scale in the United States was first started
in the Connellsville region, in PennsyI-
vania, and tnis State still holds the lead
in the number Of ovens and extent of OUT
put. 1t is conceded by blast-furnace op-
orators that the Counellsville product
gives better results than any other coke
made in the United States. and it is
shipped to all parts Of the country to
which freight rates are not so high as to
prohibit lis use. The Connellsville prac-
tice has become the standard both for
method OF construction of plants and
manner of operation. and hardly a dav

Inc Connellsville coke region takes its
name from the town of ConnelIsville,

near the mouth of Hickman Run. These
Two ovens were built from a descriD-
tion given them by an Englishman Of
the ovens in Durham, England. The
makers had hard work to dispose of their
PIouuct az cents per bushel, and retired
from the business in disgust. However.
james Cochran and others saw an oDDor-
tunlty IN the business, and leased the
plant, and in 1872 they sold in Cincinnati
l9,Og0 bushels at cents. James
Cochran continued in the business and is
to-day part owner in three plants of 750
ovens. From this small beginning has
grown a business that in 1891 amounted
TO an output Of nearly 5000 000 tons. or
nearly one-half the product Of the United
STATES, giving direct employment to
ABOUT $1,000 mon.

HOW THE CASE WAS WON
The Story Told in Court by a Virgini,
Lawyer MANY Years Aoo-

The Story Told in Court by a Virginia
Lawyer Many Years Ago.
In the early years Of this century T, Dod-
drldge was leading lawyer in northwest
ern lrglnIa, now a portion Of the State
OF west Virginia. Doddridge County
was named Tor him. He resided in Wells
burg, on the Ohio River. bur his nractica
extended well into PENNSYLVANIA and
ONO, and he atterward represented his
district In Congress. On one occasion
says the New \ ork San, Mr.. Doddridge
was called to Washington to defend n man
accused OF horse stealing. 1t was a clear
case. Inc principal witness was an ac-
conlpIlce who turned States evidence.
put This testimony was amply corroborat-
ed by that of other people. Mr.. Do6-
drldge was not expected to make a very
4orcIbIe address, and he did not try TO-
ne TAXED In a desutOry manner to the
jury Tor nIteen or twenty minutes. and
then added:
=! have very little more to say. but
with the permission Of the court / viii
relate an incident which seems to me to
bear on this case. In the older portions
OF TINS State it is the custom now. as it
was some years ago, for the Judges to
travel over their circuits and hold court.
With the Judges Went the lawyers, In A
certain district have in mind the Nestor
OF the par was precise gentleman of the
and CUTS and prided himself on his inva-
rlaDle attendance upon divine service at
the town IN which court was being held
tie insisted on a similar attendance on
the part Of the other LAWYERS. and made il
his business to see that they went with
HIM III body. one Sunday morning
they found themselves at a town with no
church except one belonging to the Meth
OdisUs, and although this Nestor was am
Episcopalian he notified the younger at
/ torneys that they would be expected to
go To church as usual. They were late in
getting ready, and when the dignitied
old lawyer appeared in church and
marched up the middle aisle, followed
by all the lawyers in The district the min
lister was well in his sermon. HestonDed
IN his discourse, however, gazed at the
/ leader of the file a second and then said.
My friend, if you had not stopped to
prink and to arrange those rufffes so
carefully you could have got to church in
time. As it is, you come at this late hour
and disturb the Worshipers by your en-
trance. 1 give you warning now' the
preacher added solemnIy, raising his
hnger to make the words more impress
slye, that at the judgment day | Shall
appear to testify against you.'
