We are told there is great demand
now for coal lands along the
Great Kanawha Valley, and where
sales have been made good prices
have been realized. The compile
ton of the locks and dams on the
Kanawha3 will greatly enhance the
value Of coal properties. Many
new mines are now being opened
along this river. 1t will be but a
few years until the Great Kanawha
Valley furnishes all the coal for the
lower markets.

We very much dislike to part

as if it will be necessary for us 60
do so after the beginning of the new

paper from three to four years, and
we can't afford to carry them long

and have called attention to it for
weeks, and but very few have paid
any attention to the notice pub

paper is but a dollar year, and it
should be paid strictly in advance,
and advance payment we will en-
deavor TO enforce during the com.

EXCURSIONS.

Another all-day excursion to Chapel Point
will be given by Capt. Randall next Satur-
day. The Point Is a lovely place, and dur
ing these dog days Of heat is a COOL de-
lightful retreat. The steamer Harry RAN
dali will leave Saturday at 0 am. Tickets
for the round trip are twenty-five cents.
Today the Morris pony aggregation will
be seen in their wonderful performances at
River View. The exhibitions will be given
at 8 pm. The Sunday appearance of the
twelve sagacious animals made a pleasing
impression, so much so that today's boats
will doubtless be crowded. The Pentz leaves
at 6:45 pm, the trip continuing to Indian
Head, stopping at River View both ways
Tomorrow an excursion will be given to
River Vsaw, under the auspices of the St
Dominic's Conference of the ST. Vincent de
Paul Society, for the benefit of st. Dominic's
parish. 1t is likely that there will be a
very large crowd carried down on all the
boats. and a most enjoyable day is to be
had by those going on this trip, as plenty
of attractions have been provided for the
young and old. The steamer Samuel j.
Pentz will leave at 10 am, 2:15 and GAS
pm.

SWEEPING THE STREETS.
The New Schedules Submitted to Il
Commissioners for Approval.

The New Schedules Submitted to the
COmmfssiOners for Approval.
Superintendent Davis Of the street clean
ing department has submitted to the Dis
trict Commissioners for their approval the
new schedules for sweeping the streets Of
Washington and Georgetown. The con-
tracts for sweeping and cleaning the i'm
proved alleys for the year ending June 30,
1895. and for cleaning the unimproved
streets and alleys. as also hand-scraping
Pennsylvania avenue and contiguous streets,
have been made at such reduced rates over
those Of last year as to make 1t possible
With the Increase Of $4,000 in the congress
sional appropriation over that Of last year,
to sweep during the year just entered upon
about 35OOOO.O0O square yards of streets, or
1OO.OOoOO0 more than were swept during
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1894.
Under these new schedules most Of the
streets that have heretofore received but
one sweeping a week will receive two, and
streets like East Capitol street from LIST to
nth east. Maryland avenue from LIST to 18th
east, 18th from East Capitol to River street.
pennsylvania avenue from I'd to 18th east
eEd 9th from Pennsylvania avenue to navy
yard gate. heretofore swept twice a week.
Will be swept three times. Other streets in
different sections of the city will be swept
more frequently than hitherto, which will
give cleaner city than has ever been had
SO 1ar as streets are concerned. In other
words, MAJ Davis says he can expend
about $4,000 for sweeping the streets this
year as against $4,000 last year.
