Black Diamond Railroad Notes.

We clip the following paragraphs
from the Dover (Ky.) Mevs Of the eth
inst:
President Kirby and General Man
agcr Boone will be in Dover to-day
(Thursday.)
Three surveying corps are now at
work laying out the Black Diamond
Railway System through Kentucky,
Ohio and Indiana.
All the corporations comprising the
main line of the Black Diamond will
end with "Tidewater' and all branch
lines will end with "South Atlantic. /"
Gen. Williams at the next meeting
of the several Black Diamond Boards
OF Directors will be named by Col.
Boone as General Counsel. The ap-
pointment will be confirmed because
whatever Col. Boone suggests goes
through with whirl.
1.-The Engineers on the Springfield,
Ohio River and South Atlantic Rail
way Vincennes, Ind, to the Ohio
River at or near Jeffersonville, Indy
starts into work at Vincennes. Ind,
on Monday, Oct. II. Col. Boone will
be present at the driving of the first
stake.
The Ohio River will be bridged at
Dover and Fevay, Ind, by the Black
Diamond System Of Railways. Con-
gress will be asked early in December
to pass the necessary resolutions
permitting their construction. Gen.
Williams will take charge of getting
the authorization and to do so will
take up his residence after December
1st in Washington, D. C.
The main line of the Black Dia-
mond across the State of Kentucky
will be chartered as The Ohio River,
Cynthiana and Tidewater Railway
Company. The corps Of engineers
organized at Dover, Ky, has been
ordered to run the main line between
Cynthiana and the Ohio River. It
now looks like the Ohio River will -bs
bridged at Vevay, Ind, for the line to
indianapolis and South Western
Indiana.
We have seen many corporations
handled but we must confess we never
saw man like Col. Boone who picks
Up the reins and drives through all
opposition. Every Director feels safe
n espousing any plan Col. Boone 'sug-
tests. Why? Because Col. Boone

The Ccntcnnial*at the Old Stone
Church.

The annual meeting Of the colo
Stone Church Association" formed
for the !purpose of fencing and i'm,
proving the cemetery grounds at the
Old Stone Church, met at that place
on Saturday last. The weather was
delightful and the attendance very
large. Quite number of.'persons
present were unable to gain admission
to the church for want of room.
DR.. j. B. Adger, bowed downuwith
age and infrmity, was present; so,
also, were DR.. W. B. CherryEand Mr..
W. W. knight, both of whom}.were
more than eighty years Of age. Col.
j. Adger Smythe, of Charleston, came
over from his summer home, near
Pendleton, with Dr.. Boggs.
DR.. 0. NJ. Doyle, President of the
Association, called the meeting to
order. Prayer was made by Rev. B.
?. Reid, Of Pcndleton. The President
introduced the orator Of the day, Rev.
". i. Boggs. D. D., Chancellor of the
University of Georgia, mostIfttingly
recounting his services as Chaplain
during the war, especially his devotion
to the sick and wounded at Frazier's
Farm, one of the great battles fought
around" Richmond in 1862; and also
his faithful services during his pasto-
rate at Memphis, Tenn, when the
yellow fever prevailed at that atgplace
some years ago.
We may be pardoned for adding,
that DR.. Boggs has always been re-
garded as a South, Carolinian. He
was, however, born abroad during the
services Of his father: Rev.
Geo. W. Boggs. DR.. Boggs has
steadily ascended the ladder Of fame,
and now occupies one Of the most i'm
portant positions in our sister State.
where he maintains himself most sue
cessfully as teacher and as the chief
executive officer of one of the finest
institutions in the South.
The subject discussed by the distin
yuished speaker was the isrelation of
the science of geology, geography, &C.,
TO the Bible. The theme, as treated,
vas interesting and revelation to
many. The address was lengthy aud
re could not do it justice in casual
notice like this. A copy was asked
or publication and we hope to have
he pleasure of reading it at our leis-
Ire ere long.
A collection was taken up for the
urtherance of the objects of the
Association.
The Association took recess for
nc hour. This time was pleasantly
pent in enjoying the pie mic side of
he entertainment.
The meeting reassembled in the
hurch.
The present officers of the Associa-
on were reelected,
A committee of three, including the
resident of the Association, was ap-
ointed to inaugurate a scheme for ,,
'ncing the cemetery and improving
lie grounds.
Since the meeting was held Mrs.
Tarren Davis, relative Of the Reese
mily, has received a liberal contri-
ltion from Judge Reese, of Washing
N, Ga, for the contemplated i'm
'ovements at the Old Stone Church. =

They can ship pipe right into the

THE FIRST PULLMAN CAR.
How the Idea Was Originated and Afterward Was
Developed.
From the Chicago InYter-ocean.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
At Albion young Pullman had become
acquainted with Senator Ben Field,
member of the State senate in 1886.
Mr.. Field was interested in legis alton
concerning sleeping car far-s, and the
Woodruff Sleeping Car company, in oc-
Acknowledgements of his initerest in it's be-
half, had given him the right to run its
sleepers on a couple Of Western roads.
Mr. Pullman heard great deal from
his friend Field about the new car used
for night service, and told with relish
This first experience IN sleeper. He
was making journey of sixty miles,
and, heai1Eg THAT a night car was ON
the train, he paid so cents for berth in
it, although he did NOT expect to use it.
He wanted to see how THE car looked.

two or tlhrce feet above it, and third
rising above the second They were
mere hunks, but they were he besit Sc p
ing accommodations that were provided
at that time.

Senator Field, with the request for saw

tions an arrangement grew between them

ped a large quantity to Japan. He is
now shipping 81 quantity to Russia.
Next month he will make tour through
England and Scotland, then over into
Russia, Germany and France to estab-
fish agencies of the Howard Harrison
Iron company in these countries.
John Thompson is the superintend-
ent, and Louis Hester secretary. Mr..
Thompson is a Scotchman. He had
many years experience in England and
Scotland in making pipe there. He
says better pipe is made here at from
20 to 25 per cent less than can be made
in Scotland or England. That is why
we can compete right in England and
Scotland with their foundries.
Freight rates to foreign lands are bet
ter than to points in the United States.
For instance, the rate from Bessemer
to Kobe, Japan, via Pensacola, is IS a
ton, while the rate from Bessemer to
New York Is $2.25 a ton. To Chicago,
however, the rate Is only So ton. Yet
the railroads have TO make a high rate
One " inch pipe IL feet inches long,
like that cast yesterday, weighs only
10000 pounds. but it takes a whole flat
car on which to transport it.

several days ago. It's size can be noted
by comparing it with the men standing
about it.

vice ON the other two western roads
which had been given him. One day he
came to Mir. Pullman and told him THAT
he had an opportunity ITO buy back the
privileges ON the otiler roads, and THAT
IL would like to sell his half interest in
the co-partnersGlip lime to Mr.. Pullman.
A bargain was struck and Mr.. Pullman
paid his partner $1,000. This was at
the opening of 1.-THE war, when the might

experiments wsre tried, were simply two
ordinary passenger coaches, which he
had changed into The c3mmoneSt kind of
Steering CARS at slight expense. Fifty
cents was charged for a berth and the
first night four berths were sold. About
his time the Pixies Pealke fever set in,

is simple. 1t is nodded upright. First
there is a great shell cast or mold.
This cast is of iron. 1t stands upright
and is coated inside with sand. Inside
OF this goes a great upright core, held
in perfect position by pivots at the top
and bottom in order that the space be-
tween the core and the shell shall be the
same at every point. The core is the
interesting part of pipe foundry
This core is first wrapped with a rope
made of hay-ordinary Indiana prairie
hay. The hay is then plastered over
with mud and sand until 1t becomes per-
fectly smooth and even. Then black
coating made of pulveriDad coal, molas-
sess and water is put over this and the
surface becomes as smooth as polished
wood. 1t is dried over a. furnace and
the. core is inserted in its proper place
in the she'll. This is the mold. 1t is
then simple thing to draw the molten
metal into a ladel from the great cupola,

carry it on crane to the mould. inside

pipe which a man can walk through
without bowling his head.
A Chnaman could not use it for an
opium pipe, nor could an Irishman carry
1t under his blouse shirt. but there are
lots of things for which 1t is used.
Pipes are good things in their way, and
the best, strongest and cheapest pipes
in the world are made right here in
the Birmingham district by the Howard
Harrison Iron Works. Its plant is To-
Gated at Bessemer. 1t covers sixty-eight
acres of ground. 1t turns out three
hundred tons of cast iron pipe day.
1t employs sos men regularly. 1t makes
everything from 3 inch pipe to ~ inch
pipe. The water works companies of
usarly every city in the United States
get their pipe here.
This concern, perhaps, has not the
paper capital of some of the big iron
companfs located here, but it has $780,
900 of actual hard cash capital invested
in its plant, and it sells iron pipe at
prices varying from s12 to SIS per ton.
These pipes are of all sizes and thick
ness. They are made to withstand a.
water pressure of from 100 pounds to the
square inch, to 500 pounds to the square
inch.
Yesterday 1 saw this concern make
the largest iron pipe ever cast in the
world on strictly pipe shop lines. 1t

thoroughly interesting. Yet the process

man determined THAT the new oar should
be the hsndsomest ever made Hereto
fore "a sleeping car had cost not more
than $4,000 to $4,000. Looking the mat
ter over and wondering how he could
arrange two b,Tths that would be
roomy, comfortable and convenient, he
was perplexed as to the disposition or
the mattresses. AT that time adj the
mattresses were put away in the sec
tion during the day time. In fact, the
early sleeping cars were simply used
for night cars and not run in the day
time. mfr. PuIFmans idea was to ihsve
a car that could be rum on long TRIPS
either as day or might car. With this
object in view he started to build the
pi~reer. He found that the mattresses
could not be put on tire floor. because
of THE dust and discomfort There wss
no place between THE windows, and he
finally said to his car builder: why
not hinge an upper berth near the roof
ard put the mattresses in 1T when the
beGlth Is closed during THE day time ?"
The car builder replied ait once that the
car was not high enough and ibllat the
space would be too small. This was
before cars were built with raised
decks or roofs. ''Then." said Mr.
Pullman "why not raise the carp" The
outcome of this conversation was a d.
reoltaon that plans should be drawn for
"a car ais wide Iar.d as high as would be
necessary ito get lin two berths, ir,clud-
ing one hinged to the upper side Of
the car. This plan was accurately
drawn for car one foot wider and two
ard a half feet higher than any car
that had heretofore been built in this
country.

of this disease and has cured many
thousands of cases. Most people buy
the remedy at the drug store, taking it
according to directions on the bottle

prefer, however, to correspond with the
doctor during treatment. Letters are
