h. e. B. Road.

Mr.. H. NJ. Aiken, general mana
ger of the Knoxville and Bristol rail
road, and Capt. w. c. Grocer, chiei
engineer, left for Bristol yesterday
morning. Upon reaching Bristol
these gentlemen arranged for a trip
into Hawkins county.
The purpose of this trip is for Mr..
Aiken to go with Capt. Grocer over
a proposed route for the Knoxville
and Bristol road from Bristol in the
direction of Rogersville. The country
in that section is very mountainous,
and it will require considerable topo-
graphical research on the part of
Capt. Grocer before he will be able
to select a permanent route for the
road. He has several routes in pros
pect now, and will go over all these
before putting the engineers on TO
lay off the routes. He will make in
stIumental surveys of two or three of
these routes, whichever, in his
opinion, are the best.
1t was given out yesterday that
two routes are in contemplation for
run from Rogersville north.
are up Carriers valley, an in-
and route; and up the Holston river.
which would make the road along Il
water" route. 1t is, however, be-
ieved, that the Carter's valley route
will be finally selected, on account of
he fact that it touches a greater
cope of the marble lands.-KnOr-

WATER QUESTION.
Town Required to Increase It's
Bond In the Injunction
Suit.

Hon. w. L. Miller, Judge Of on,
circuit Court, sat in chambers a
this place on Tuesday of last week tc
consider the petition of the Glamor
gan PIPE & Foundry Co.. owners o.
tile water works here, to require the
town and citizens, who had obtained
the temporary injunction against the
removal OF the water works, to in.
crease the penalty Of the Injunction
bond. Afidavits, covering the
various points at issue, were filed by
each side, and all the questions in
volved in the litigation between the
town and the water company were
argued fully by the attorneys in the
case. and considered by Judge Miller.
The Judge decided to require the bond
OF the town to be raised from $500 to
$500, and unless the additional bond
should be given within fifteen DAYS
the injunction should stand dismissed
at the costs of the plaintiffs. He also
announced as his opinion that while
the town and citizens had a right to
enloin the removal Of the water
works temporarily and until the
water company should give reason
able notice Of their intention to re-
move their pipes and abandon their
franchise, yet a permanent Injunction
against such removal could not be
maintained.
In view Of Judge Miller's action in
the matter, and of the probability
that this action would be sustained
by the Court Of Appeals, in case the
litigation should be carried there by
the town, the attorneys for the plain
tiffs in the injunction suit advised
the mayor and committee of the
to enter into the compromise
agreement proposed by the Glamor-
gan Company, with an extension of
the time offered the town in the
agreement of thirty days, in which
to close the deal, to which the attor-
ney and agent Ct the Glamorgan
agreed. BY the terms Of
his agreement as amended, the town
S given the option until the 18th of
next in which to buy the
works, with everything per.
to them, for $3.50 900 cash
md. If the town agrees to buy, then
days additional time, or until
September 10Th. is given in which to
lose the deal and make the necessary
transfers.. If the town should decide
lot to buy the works, or should find
tself unable to raise the money, then
t binds itself to abandon the litiga-
and to allow the Glamorgan
company to remove its pipes and
ther property without further obiec- j
ion, and the suit is to be dismissed.
his agreement was executed on the s
art of the town by the mayor and t
Robinson and Sullivan, a
of the special committee d
ppointed by the council for that {
urposc at it's last meeting, on the f
of the Glamorgau Company BY |

Any one who has had an attack Of %sciaiic
or infiammatory rheumatism will agree
that the intiction is demoniac enough TO
warrant the belief. 1t has never been
claimed that Chamberlain's Pain Balm
would cast out demons, hut it will cure
rheumatism, and hundreds bear testimony
to the truth Of this statement. One abpli-
cation relieves the pain, and this quick
relief which it affords is alone worth many
