Deatil Of Hon. rhos. Thornburg,

Death of Hon. Thos. Enornburg,
OF CaBeIl County.
Sunday night October S1sts
1897, at his home in Barboursyille,
Hon. Thos. Thornburg passed over
to the other shore, surrounded by
the members of the family and a
few close friends. The deceased
was the father of Capt. John
Thornburg, of this county Mr..
Thornburg was a prominent and
useful citizen of Cabell County,
and his death will be deeply de-
plored.
The Huntington Herald of Mon
day evening says Mr.. Thornburg
was born in Cabell county "T9
years ago and here he remained
during all of his honorable and use
full life. No man in the county
ever enjoyed a higher esteem
among his fellow citizens than did
the deceased. He served two
terms during his life as member
of the Legislature of West Virginia.
In 1872 he was a member of the
Constitutional convention which
framed the present constitution of
the State, and served in that body
upon several of the most import
ant committees.
The deceased became MEM
Der of No. Is, F. & A. NJ, in the
eerly history of that lodge. being
the first man ever initiated, raised
and passed by that lodge. He has
been the secretary of the lodge
since 1851, a period of 46 consecu-
tive years, this being perhaps the
longest period of official service
ever served by any other Free
mason in the State.
"He was the father of seven
children-three sons, George E.,
John and Bailey; four daughters,
Mesdames DIR. McGinnis, of Guy
andotte, w. NJ. Hovey, of Barbours-
vile, and two single daughters who
remain at home. All these sur
viye to mourn, except the latter son
who died some time ago.

from the residence on Wednesday
morning at 1000 o'clock, under
the auspices of the Masonic fra
ternity-all the adjacent lodges
having been invited to participate. !"

NO DANGEROUS ROCKS.
Special PiIots Not Needed For the rails

Special Pilots Not Needed For the Falls
In Ohio River.
Louisville, KY, Nov. Any steers
man could have piloted a steamboat
through the dangerous waters OF the
Ohio Falls at any time during the past
100 years without fear of accident, ac=
cording to an alleged discovery made
by United States Engineer Captain.
Henry Dugan and Captain Dan Yarble,
The well known falls pilot Ever since
the big boats have been going over the
tails in the high water it has been nee-
-essary to hire special pilot to take
them through the rapids. He is sup
posed to know exactly where the dam
gerous rocks rear their heads, and is
paid a large sum for steering clear OF
them. Seven pilots are licensed for
that special purpose by the government
and they must go through an exam-n-
alton.
After tortuous wfndings the pilots
landed the boat at Portland, and then
went back to help some other unfortu-
nate pass the distractions.
Captain Dugan and Captain Varble
drove down over the course in the bug
BY OF the former and observed the
marking of rocks as laid bare by the
government improvements that are go
ing ON. To their surprise they found
that there were no dangerous rocks in
the channel, and Captain DUNCAN said
that In his opinion barge or steam
boat could flop over in perfect safety
without the sign of pilot.
