Never since the far-famed excursion
brought out of Pittsburg by the
steamer Andes a number of years ago,
was there ever anything seen like it.
For weeks past the members of the
Vigilant Athletic Club had been work
ing up their excursion for May It'll.
Posters announcing the affair were put
out all over the South Side. 1t was a
much watched-for event, and antici-
pated by the whole of the sporting
fraternity in the broadcast sense of the
word.
AS early in the morning as six
o'clock the clan began to gather. The
first to appear upon the scene were
quite bevy of beautiful 'damsells.
Gaily were they bedecked in their
war paint, for it was TO be a gala day.
They used as their motto fine feathers
make fine BIRDS, only it did not do for
any one to examine the feathers too
closely.
Following closely upon the heels of
the early birds" flocked all the rest
until thee big triple decked barge
Beauty was packed. In the crowd
were all kinds of people. There were
a number who had no business being
on the boat, but by the time they
found it out the barge had left the
wharf and it was too late. Every.ten
derloin section in the city was well
| represented.
A little before the crowd began to ar
rive four large brewery wagons laden
down with the amber colored trouble
producing product, dashed down the
wharf and deposited their cargoes on
board. In the aforesaid cargoes lay
perhaps the origin of the many free
for alls' which from time to time de-
stroyed the peace CD and quietude (??)
of the occasion. A large consignment
of soft drinks and sandwiches was also
received. Dancing, drinking and fight
ing was the general programme
throughout the day.
On the first deck the refreshment
counter was situated. On the second
deck the Wheeling City brass band
was stationed, and from time to time
furnished music for a programme of
dances stretched out over the whole
trip. The start was made at 8 a. M,
but towards the end of the route on
I the way down people who had become
disguised with the state of existing
affairs, deserted the boat and returned
to the city on the afternoon train over
the Ohio River road.
From time to time during the even
ing, sensational reports were circu-
lated in the city One was to the effect
that a man had been killed in a
drunken brawl. Another was to the
effect that the upper deck had caved
in and number of people had been
injured. There was some foundation
to the last report, as the deck did cave
in during a dance, but no one was in
jured. One man got mixed up in four
nights, and in every case came Off hay-
ing the best. Two men fell into the
river but nothing more than a ducking
was the result, and they came back
sober if not better men. Most of the
fights originated ON the dancing floor.
On the return the boat arrived at the
wharf at l a. m. Several of the civ
police force were on the wharf but aes
crowd was too generally worn out to
start anything. Gradually the crowd
moved up the wharf until at last there
was nothing but the dull boom of the
empty kegs striking on the beds of
the wagons that disturbed the quiet of
the early morn.

The Telephone Exchange.

In last weeks issue of the Big
Stone Gap Posi- we notice an impas-
stoned and emphatic complaint from
IN Subscriber" concerning the tele-
phone service. There has been. no
doubt, some ground for dissatisfac-
ton, but we ieel sure that "a Sub
scriber," when he penned his article,
was ignorant of the steps that are
being taken to better the. condition
Of the telephone system. The old
plant, in our judgment, is incapable
of giving the best service, and we
have decided to rebuild 1T to large
extent, and to use the latest and most
substantial equipments. A new and
heavy trunk line is now being con-
structed from Clintwood, Dickinson
county, to Big Stone Gap, via Toms
Creek, Coeburn. Tacoma, Ramsey,
Wise, Norton and Appalachia. The
holes have been dug, end the poles
are in the ground from Clintwood to
Tacoma, and a good force Of men are
pushing the work to completion.
New switchboards have arrived for
Norton, Wise, Coeburn, Toms Creek
and Clintwood, and those for the first
two named places are about wired in.
A two hundred drop switchboard was
shipped from Roanoke last week for
Big Stone Gap, and will be installed
before many days. Some new phones
have already been placed, and we
expect to place others wherever the
old instruments will not give salts
faction.
There has been, it is true, much
delay in the Inauguration of these
improvements, but it has been due to
the fact that those towns that entered
INTO contracts with us demanded our
irst and best attention, and the
scarcity Of skilled la5orers prevented
is from working at all points at the
ame time. However, it is our aim
o make the Big Stone Gap exchange
qual to any. We realize that it is
o our interest as well as to the in
crest of subscribers to have good
ervice. BY February LIST. next and
ooner if practicable, we hope to have
operating SO nicely as to
licit from "a Subscriber" com J
