SOMETHING NEW IN THIS.
The Petroleum WaGvn Within Reach o.
Many People.

seems to be placed beyond doubt.
Since 1892 they have been growing in
favor in France and the only wonder is
that we have not seen them over h ere
before now. The future, says the Lon
don Saturday Review, would appear to
belong to them, if all be true, and we
hardly doubt the bona fides. They are
as easily worked as tricycle-prob-
ably easier. A novice, as many wit
ness, is able on the first trial to drive his
carriage over 200 miles in two daysof ten
hours each. Tourists have wandered
over half dozen departments in them,
and the taste is spreading every day.
Soon the enthusiasm will reach Eng
land, and then-well, it is difficult to
say what will happen then.
For, among the great advantages of
the petroleum carriage, is its remark
able cheapness. The cost of a carriage
is not much in the first instance. They
are built as we have said, with touch
ing fidelity to old forms. There is the
dog cart, the wagonette, the phaeton,
the ''break' and the ''mylord," as our
French friends have it. From purely
lay contemplation of these vehicles,
we are not disposed to think that
finality has been reached in regard to
their shape.
When the first railway carriages
were constructed. either out of loving
conservatism or from desre not to
offend, they were built upon the lines
of the stage coach and colorcd to
match. In time they achieved their
own independence and individuality.
NM. Panhard and Levassor will
probably find time and experience
ripcn their invention in this respect.
At present a voiture q deux places
costs E168; voiture quatre places,
forme dogcart, costs e200; the phaeton,
e213. and, naturally the "mylord"
heads the price list at G240. These
cannot be reckoned extravagant prices
And when you have once purchased a
voiture to your taste the saving seems
amazing.
To begin with, two horses can be dis
carded; and horses, we believe. are
roughly estimated to cost 925 or $50
year apiece to keep. A purchaser Of q
petroleum CdITldBC ICChOuS CAAdt IL
costs him from 1.50f to- 2f a
day. The manufacturers reckoning
is As per kilometer for two-seated
carriage, and cents for q four-seated
carriage; let us say on an average some
thing between q halfpenny and three
farthings mile.
Compare this with the expense Of
horses. Let us say cab horse costs
some e36, and is available for three
years; that constitutes yearly charge
of e12. Adduto this E25 for food and
keeping and we get total OF es7. The
initial outlay on the vehicle may be
ignored, as we are also ignoring the
initial cost of a voiture. A horse, year
in and year out, would hardly do more
than Is miles day. Out Of these fig
ures, which are, of course, rough, one
may deduct something like twopence q
mile as the cost of q horse carriage.
The advantage is in favor of the petro-
leum carriage by three to one.

INCIDENT OF THE COAL TROUBLES.

The Governor of West Virginia Telegraphs
ion When Asked to Permit the Latter's
Troops to Go Two Miles Inside McCor-
kle's State Line-General News from the
Labor Field.
PARKERsBURe. w. Va, May 6.-Gov-
ernor McCorkle passed through here last
night at midnight and informed the AS
sociated Press representative that he had
just wired Governor O'Ferrall, of Vir-
giEia, that he would not permit Virginia
troops to come on West Virginia soil to
exercise any military function. O'Ferrall
had asked McCorkle to permit Virginia
troops to come two miles on West Vir-
ginia soil and he would permit West Vir-
ginia troops 20 go two miles into Vir-
ginia. MacCorkle refused to do so. He
says the situation in the Mcdowell and
Pocahontas coal fields is serious, but he
will not call out West Virginia troops
unless some act of violence occurs. All
arrangements are in perfect condition to
bring ont the entire national guard at
two hours notice. Special trains are
ready to carry them; engines have steam
up. Governor McCorkle has the entire
situation perfectly in hand for whatever
happens, but hopes there will be no
trouble.
Position Taken by Gov. O'Ferrall.
RICHMOND, Va. May 6-Speaking Of
the coal strike and of his order of troops
to the strike regions Governor O'Ferrall
said: "My position is this: don't deny
to any man or set of men the right to quit
work if they want to. But l do contend
that a man who has a job and wants to
work has an equal right to continue, and
no man has the right to prevent him. The
Pocahontas miners are at work and are
satisfied with their jobs. But the miners
from West Virginia are on a strike and
are trying to induce the Pocahontas men
to join them. If persuasion fails, they
will probably attempt by force to make
the Pocahontas men quit work, and that
l am determined they shall not do. They
may also attempt to destroy property in
this state, and that am determined they
shall not do if l can prevent It. l have,
therefore, assembled an armed force Eear
the scene to protect the Virginia miners
in their right to work if they want to,
and to protect property in this state from
destruction"

Pocahontas Men to Come Out.

PoCAHoNTAs. Va, May r.-The meeting
at this place yesterday will, it is believed,
settle the strike. The union men have
brought to bear every possible means to
induce the miners here to join them.
President Lawless. of the strikers, has
complete confidence in the ultimate
success of the men. He says that the
idea of sending soldiers here is ridiculous;
that there Is not a single man who would
destroy piece of railroad property as big
as a spike and that law and order will
be preserved and the men are pledged to
peace. The meeting has put u different
phase on the situation, SO FAR as the
Pocahontas men are involved, and de-
velopments plainly indicate that few men,
if any, will work today. Tie strike has
effectually paralyzed business, and travel
is suspended, except for miners going
home.

LITERARY NOTES.

Fiction and travel are the starting
points of the September Cosmopolitan,
which, by the way, illustrates better
than any previous number the perfec-
ton of its plant for printing a magazine
of the highest class. Conan Doyle, II.
81. Boyesen, and Clark Russell are
among the story tellers. A well known
New York lawyer relates the story of
"a Famous Crime'-the murder of
Doctor Parkman by Professor Webster.
A delightful sketch OF "An English
Country House Party" is from the pen
Of Nina Larre Smith, the house at which
she visited being no less than the his
toric Abbotsford, still occupied by the
direct descendants Of Sir Walter
Scott. 1.-THE Realm of the Wonderful"
Is descriptive of the strange forms of
life discovered by science in the ocean g
depths, and Is superbly illustrated in a
surprising and marvellous way by the
author. who is a member Of the Smith
sonian staff. An article on Cuba is
timely. Without bothering the reader
with unnecessary description of the ia
nous yachts now go much talked of,
The Cosmopolitan presents four full
page illustrations showing these noted
boats. Thomas Moran again con-
tributes a series Of the most exquisite
landscapes Of western scenery, twelve
in number, illustrating an article by
Col. John A. Cockrill, on Modern
Utah" And it may be said that no
more beautifully illustrated number
of The Cosmopolitan has ever been
given to the public.

Clandestine Wedding.

A courtship in which there has been
a good deal of romance, was ended
last Thursday evening at S:45 o'clock
in the hotel parlor, when the two
young hearts of Earnest Gass and Miss
Kate Hankins, of Greeneville, were
made one by the Rev. B.. b. Bigler.
Miss Hankins had come here early in
last week. ostensibly to visit her kins.
folk, but on Thursday afternoon a nice
looking young man came on the vesti.
bule at les and went to the hotel to
make arrangements for the wedding to
take place in the hotel parlor. Then
he secured a carriage and went up to
Capt. Reeves where the young lady
was visiting and took her out for a
drive. They drove until time for the 8
O'Clock train when they went to the
depot to meet the groom to be. When
the train arrived and they were seated
in the carriage they proceeded to the
hotel where everything had been put
in readiness for the occasion. Many
of the boys about town who had heard
whispers of the affair had gathered on
the hotel porch, all eager to see the
youthful couple launch out into the
matrimonial sea; but most of them
were prevented from doing so by the
party who ordered that the shades be
lowered. After the noise and hustle
which would naturally arise from an
occasion of that kind, the young couple
with all the bravery possible, stood be.
