Marion County, Arkansas.

OF course you have heard of Marion

| 1t sent to the Worlds Fair at Chicago the
largest piece OF zinc ore the world had
ever seen, weighing $500 lbs. You do
not know perhaps that the mine from
which 1t was taken was sold five years ago
| for 800, and can not be bought to day
for 5000, 900, although IL is 70 miles from
railroad, you do not know perhaps
that there are many other zinc mines in
Marion county, now worth from 5000
to $50, 900 that could have been bought
for from $l5 TO $50 per acre, In an unde-
veloped state. You do not know, perhaps
that there has never been shaft sunk TO
depth of 80 feet anywhere in this county
without striking rich lead, zinc, copper or
marble. You 60 not know that experts
believe that paying ore can be found in
any part of the county by sinking shaft
from 20 to 200 feet deep. You do know
that capitalists have bought up most OF
the zinc land and stand ready to buy the
remainder as soon as II railroad is started
toward this county. You do not know
that such road will be started this year,
and that mining lands will so out Of sight
as soon as the road Is started. IL you are
wise you will get at least one acre of this
land before il is too late. When the road
comes you eau either sink shaft on 1t,
lease it, or sell i, and make from 100 to
10000 per cent on your investment. |
have 1900 mineral lots OF one acre each,
will sell 800, every third lot, this year
at about what the land Is worth for fruit,
$l5, So down and So each month until
paid. The lots all lie in The very heart of
the mineral district Of Marion county. are
all alike as all are within a half mile OF
zinc openings. Next year expect to sell
500 more lots at $50 per acre, and by the
year after | expect ut least one railroad
completed to this place when the last 500
will bring AT least 800 each.

The company operating the bridge be-
tween Phillipsburg and Easton announce
that they will replace the old wooden
structure with new iron bridge.
The present bridge was completed in
1s07-sS years ago. II was commenced
In 1877, and was consequently ten years
in process of erection. Much ofthe delay
in its construction was due to lack Of
funds.
The old structure, although severely
tested on many occasions, withstood many
great foods that swept away other bridg-
es along the river.
The bridge cost $61, 354 81. When it
was completed the company was in debt
$40, 654. 81. That was paid by the tolls
collected the first six years. 1t has been
free TO pedestrians since November, 1856.
The latest attack on this wealthy cor
poration, the investigation by the New
Jersey Legislature, which has placed the
matter in the hands of the Attorney Gen
eral, with view to seeing il the com
pany's charter cannot be taken away on
the ground that they have broken its
terms, has evidently frightened the CON-
pany. They were 10 danger of losing
their fat dividend OF Is or more per cent.

Killed by n Train.

Last Tuesday, evening, the up passen-
ger train on the Belvidere Division which
Iclves this city at 8.l3, when ntar the
aqueduct in the northern part OF b towr,
struck young man named Joseph Milf
! fin, and threw him twenty or thirty feet
into the canal, from which he was res
cued in few moments in dying condi.
ton. His head was badly cut and his
left shoulder seriously fractured. He
died in a few moments. II is supposed
that he stepped off the long switch track
on which coal train was moving and
stepped on the main track without notic-
ing the coming Of the express train. The
train stopped as soon as the accident oc-
CURED and the body was taken aboard
and the train backed down to the station.
Coroner Callan viewed the body and de
cided that an inquest was unnecessary.
Young Mifilin was just twenty. one
years old the day of bis death. He was
the son of Harry Miffiin, Of this city, and
boarded al his parents home. He had
been working for some time past driving
a paving block team.

The ringing OF the fre alarm at about
8 o'clock last Friday afternoon, created
some excitement in Pennington for short
time. The fire was located in big heap
Of old boxes, etc, in the rear Of Hyde 81
Browns furniture store. II was discov-
cred soon after II broke out by Augustus
Young who is Undertaken Hanson's as
sistani. The undertaking workshop is
within ten feet Of the furniture store, and
Mr.. Young was at work there at The time.
Mr.. Hanson's dog "Bnf" was in the
shop, also, and suddenly he began to bark
furiuusly and manifest great uneasiness.
Mr. Young stepped to the door to learn
the cause OF the dogs worry, and so de
tecled the fire. A prompt alarm brought
many citizens to the scene, and by lib
era application OF water carried in buck
cts the fire was extinguished before ii
communicated to the building, but 1t was
a narrow escape. Buff ought TO have
an extra bone or two for his part 10 the
affair, for 1t is really due to his watchfu'-
ness and prompt action that the fire was
soon discovered after it broke into blaze.

The philadelphia delaware Bridge.

PHILADELPHIA, June 1S.-Now that
President Cleveland has approved the bill
authorizing the construction by the Penn
sylvania aud New Jersey Bridge and
Railroad Company of a bridge across the
Delaware, steps will be taken to begin the
work. President Henry d. Webb said
to-day that the surveys had all been
made, but as yet no plans have been pre-
pared. He doubted very much II the pre-
liminary work would be sufficiently adj
vanced this Summer to permit of the be.
ginning of actual construction. The es-
,imated cost of the bridge ard its APP
proaches is 81, 500, 600.

The Commencement of the High School
connected with the public schools of this
city took place at Holcombe Hall last

among the very best the school ever has
had.

tIn addition to the above named gradu
ates Miss Matte B. Gandey also graduated
and received her diplomat
The singing, considering that the music
was rather difficult and too high for
ebildrcn's voices, was good and showed
good training.
The essay of Charles F. Lodor was well
written and well delivered. That of Miss
Phillips was also creditable production,
but the reader labored under the disad-
vantage of severe cold. which prevent
ed many from hearing II. Miss Conover's
essay was neatly conceived and we'll
read paper. The gem of the essays was
Miss Barkley's 1t was a specimen Of
excellent English aud read with tiue eff.
feet. John A. Mall,y's essay was also
excellent aud did him credit as the /" first
houor scholar OF his class. All these
essays were original with the readers and
showed intellectual ability above the av-
erage for scholars OF their age.
The readings and rectalions of the
other graduates were credltable, in two
or three instances most excellent, it being
no easy task for inexperienced scholars
to appear before so large an audience.
Special praise is due Miss Bertha A. Cum
mings and Miss Pauline A. Kimmel for
the excellence Of their renderings.
The address to the graduating class by
Rev. Mr.. Mickle, although impromptu,
was good enough for carefully prepared
one, and was "the right word in the
right place." 1t contained wise counsel
aud words OF encouragement and was
listened to with pleasure by all.
A handsome framed etching was pre-
sented TO Principal Kerr by Rev. Mr..
Lightfoot, on behalf Of the graduating
class.
