GREENBRIER RIVER ROAD.
Bids Opened and Contracts to be Let in
Few DAYS.

Bids for the construction OF the
Greenbrier River railroad have been
opened, and the contract is to be
awarded in few days. The specifica-
tions on which the bids have been adj
vertised provide for the construction
of the road either in sections or as a
whole.
The road will run from Caldwell, in
Greenbrier county, about four miles
above Ronceverte, to Marlinton. in
Poeahontas county, distance of fifty
miles. 1t will follow the left bank of
the Greenbrier river, on an easy grade
The construction will be like that OF
the Chesapeake & Ohio, with stone
culverts and first class workmanship
in every respect. 1t will pass imme-
diately by Marble Hill, where is locat-
ed the finest building marble in the
United States. Already eight hun
dred working men have been engaged,
the intention being to complete the
road by February
Already Ronceverte and the adjoin-
ing places show signs of the awaken
ing that will follow the construction
of the road. Ronceverte isssalready full
of contractors and capitalists, the
latter Of whom are prospecting in the
rich coal, timber and marble lands in
that section. The Chesapeake &
Ohio, in order to accommodate its
traffic, is building double track from
Caldwell down as far as the roadway
limitations will permit.

is wonder in the Connellsville coke

worked downward through what was
declared the hardest surface and rocks
they ever encountered. Many times
the tools were lost. Finally the drill
went through the 400 feet, and actu :
ally split a.post which Engineer Char
les III. Lindsey had set, and which he
declared was the spot which the drill
would strike. Since the bore hole was
put down it has had flow of pure
gas, and the company is thinking Of
using it if it continues.

Old Locks Insufficient.

The inadequacy of the Mononga
hela river locks to accommodate the
traffic on that stream is strongly rep
resented in the official report of
Major Powell, the engineer in charge.
This representation has been made
in previous reports to the depart
ment and cannot be too often re-
peated until the remedy is applied.
The coming session of Congress
should certainly provide for the en-
largement of the locks on the Mo
nongahela to meet the demand Of a
constantly increasing river business.
The old locks are great inconve-
nience to the present traffic, and
when the new locks above Morgan
town are completed they will be
more inadequate than ever. The
cost of constructing new locks will
not be so great that Congress may
not find the means.-Dispatch.

The Man and the Calf Brains.
Grafton Sentinel.

We are indebted to Judge Hoke,
United States Consul at Windsor,
Nova Scotia, says the Kingwood Ar
gus, for copies Of papers from that
section. The Windsor Tribune OF
June both has that lie In 1t about
some physicians over at Harmon,
Grant county, this state, putting a
calf's brains in miners head who
had lost part of his in an accident.
The full account was given In this pa
per recently, but we believe il was a
lie, although ii was published in the
papers all over the country. Here is
the Tribune's comment on the article:
We are indebted to Consul Hoke,
for a copy OF the Grafton Sentinel,
containing the above remarkable ac-
count of a surgical operation lately per-
formed among our American cousins.
We have read Of grating chicken flesh
on mans hair lip, and the man az
forwards raising m0ustache OF
feathers and hair, but we never be-
fore read Of grating Calls brain in
mans head. The only thing lack
ing in the above story Is that they
did not put the mans brain into the
calf's head also; that would have been
reciprocity" and, but still that
would not have done either there, for
in less than year that calf would
have been into politics and there are
too many calves at 1t now.

RELATIVES Put up Five Hundred Dollars
Bond for Each of Them-Offense is
Clearly Pr0yen-They Claim That
They did not Know That the Money
Was Bad-Held in $500 Bail.
Last Friday morning United States
Deputy Marshall d. r. Jackson, and
Sam Y. Mathews, special agent for
the United States treasury, brought to
town and locked up in Jail two indi-
yiduals from Monongalia county,
charged with passing counterfeit coin
says the Fairmont Free Press.
Elihu Brewer is the older, being 55
years of age, and his son-in-law James
Foley, who is aged SO years. They
reside in the mountains and in the
neighborhood Of Ponetown and Jakes
run. Mr.. Brewer, is small man of
statue, and will weigh about l35
pounds. His clothing was very poor
and dirty, and his son-in-law was no
improvement, except younger.
At the hearing before United States
Commissioner Fred L. Martin, the
evidence showed that on the 18th OF
July, the prisoners had come to Fair
view and the first place they went
was to The store of J. Y. Hamilton,
and bought some items amounting to
Is cents, which purchase was made
from the clerk, M. L. Amos and who
noticed that the money was spurious.
Mr. Amos notified Mr.. e. S. Eddy of
the circumstance, and Eddy followed
to see where all they passed the coin.
The next visit was to the store of w.
Hunter Atha where ten cent pur-
chase was made from Walter Atha,
who also noticed the bad coin. An
other was spent at the barroom Of
John Burns, and was passed on his
son, Charles, for tobacco. The nickles
were all marked by those who received
them at the time Justice of the
Peace Shriver, of Monongalia county
was also a witness who had received
three Of the spurious nickles on the
18th of July, in payment for writing.
The nickles seem to come all the time
from Mr.. Brewer.
The witnesses mentioned were all
present at the trial and gave their
SbduGiueuU Vi Ule UIdHsdCUlOH Will bHe
prisoners. The prisoners did not
deny that they had passed the
money, but claimed that it was done
in good faith, believing that the mon
ey was good. The niclles were Of the
1889 stamp, and were the poorest kind
of manufacture. A blind mah would
.see" the difference as soon as ne
stouched" it. Foley claims that e
went to Amos to get coal to runha
threshing machine, and that Brewer
was with him. He said he had dime
one nickel, four pennies and silver
dollar. That he went to a store in
Fairyiew and bought five cents worth
of pepper, and laid down a dollar and
received his change, which change he
used in trading with the people.
Both were held in 800 bail bond
for their appearance in Wheeling at
the next United States Grand Jury.
Both said that they could give bond.
James w. Foley, father of the young
er, and Eli Wright came to town and
went on the bonds aud the prisoners
were released to appear IN Wheeling
in September.
