THE CORD WOOD INDUSTRY.
Asteam saw Mil and stave Machine to be Erected

Steam Saw Mill and Stave Machine to be Erected
at Hancock.
Mr.. Chas. E. Jones, Of Leetown,
W. Va, who recently bought the Har7
rison farm, across the river from Ham
cock, now tenanted by Mr. Chas.
Weaver, is clearing the timber portion
Of the farm, comprising $50 acres, and
has established quite 4 large and prof.
table industry. Several months ago
the work Of clearing was begun with
three hands. All one time the force
numbered ninety men. Nearly sixty
men are in camp which has much the
appearance of young settlement.
Each man cuts on the average, p
cords per day, and is paid at the rate
Of 40 cents per cord. Mr.. Jones pro-
poses to cut 5000 cords before the
force win be diminished. Of the 3,
800 cords already cut, goo have been
shipped.
The b. 81 o. r. r. 60. has passed
an order for switch to be placed OPP
posite Mr.. Weavers house for the use
Of Mr.. Jones. Three four-horse teams
win be engaged for some months in
hauling the wood to the cars. Each
car will hold ten cords.
The extensiveness Of the industry
can be seen from the fact that it will
require 800 cars to carry the wood Mr..
Jones proposes to cut before taking a
respite. a steam saw mill will soon
be in operation On the ground and the
very best Of timber will Be converted
into lumber. Mr., Jones has a contract
to furnish 100000 slaves and will
shortly erect stave machine.

Desnerate Train Robbers.

The boldest attempt at train robbery
that ever occurred in this country &C.
Cured yesterday afternoon near the
little village of Breckenridge, in Will
son county, Texas. The train held up
was the San Antonio and Arkansas
Pass passenger train. The affair re-
suited in the killing of r. T. Martin,
the fireman, and the capture of one Of
the robbers, who gave his name as j.
d. May, a cowboy. The train was in
charge of Conductor E. Steel, Engineer
Mike Herman and Fireman 7. r..
Martin, of San Antonio. AT Breckon-
ridge the train stopped to take water,
and as it pulled cut three men boarded
the baggage car, but were so guarded
in their movements that they were not
seen by the trains crew. The engineer
RULED out at ~ speed of about
Is miles an hour, and had just entered
a sharp curve a few hundred yards
from the tank when one of the robbers
climbed upon the tender and with q
pistolin each hand threw the guns down
upon engineer Tiernan and fireman
Martin. Throw up your hands," said
the robber. The robber then began
pouring lead into Martin, and emptied
n %six-shooter into his body, keeping
Herman covered all the time with the
other. Martin was dead aud his body
rolled out of the engine, where it was
run over by the wheels and mutilated.
The other two train robbers, when they
saw the dead body fall off the cab,
jumped from their position on the bag
gage car platform and made for tho
brush. The robber who killed the fire.
man, seeing that he had been deserted,
jumped from the engine and started up
the track on a run. Conductor Steel
then got into the cab, cut the engine
loose from the train, and pursued May
and captured him after a desperate
fight.

Revolving Crime.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.-One OF
the most atrocious murders ever COM
mitted in this city occurred at an early
hour Wednesday morning, but the de-
tails did not become known until last
night. The victim was Mrs. Kate
Critics, wife of a reporter on one of the
local papers, and her murderer was Mar
tin O'Neal, of the Union Iron Works.
The woman was found in q dying con,
dition in a private room of a saloon and
died while being removed to the hos
pital. Then it was discovered that a
wooden handle attached to a bouquet
OF flowers had been thrust into her
body and twisted until a great cash
had been torn in her flesh and her in
ternal organs mutilated in a most hor-
rible manner. Parts of the bouquet
were found embedded in her stomach.
Mrs. Critics, who had been living with
her husband and six-year-old daughter,
was q young woman of very attractive
appearance. O'Neal has a family, and
has been regarded as a respectable
man. He invited Mrs. Critics to the
saloon and they remained there for sew
eral hours during which time they
drank a great deal and became intoxi-
Gated. 1t is believed that O'Neal, fren-
zied by liquor, attempted to assault
Mrs. Critics, and when she resisted he
made the brutal attack. He "a in a
drunken stupor when arrested and
claims he remembers nothing of the
tragedy.

Ex-PREs1DENT HARRISON has writ

Ex-PREsIDENT HARRISON has writ
ten a-pubiic letter in which he says
There is nothing in the present busl-
ness situation to suggest any great gain
TO the country as a result of the inaug-
uration of democratic politics" Poor
Mr.. Harrison He grows smaller as
he grows older. He knows as we'll as
every other intelligent man that if poll
tics had any thing TO do with producing
tine existing business situation" the re-
publican party, and it alone, is to
blame, for it s%quandered all the money
in the Treasury and passed the Nc
Kinlev tariff and the Sherman silver
bill. each and ali certainly well calcu-
lated to produce depression in business;
while, unfortunately for the country,
no democratic politics have as yet been
inaugurated, unless stopping the pay
ment of few of the many fraudulent
pensions and the saving Of six sevenths
of the appropriation for the late naval
review be considered as such politics ;
no is it definitely known when even an
attempt to ~inaugurate them will be
made, and that, too, though one twelfth
Of the term for which the democratic
administration was elected has already
expired. Oh, no, Mr.. Harrison! Dem
ocrats are by no means infallible, but
that they are not responsible for the
present business situation" goes with
out saying, to every body except the
man who during four years masquerad-
ed in his graudfather's hat, which, even
with double padding, he could not keep
above his ears.
