Oil on Roadheds.

The first western railroad to use
crude oil on Its roadbeds TO prevent
dust flying and secure other desirable
results is the Chicago & Alton. In the
busiest places along the road. over a
combined distance OF about seventy
Ave miles, the oil has been applied.
and II the test Is satisfactory the eatite
roadbed will be oiled. A low grade OF
crude oil Is used, and 1000 gallons are
required for each mile Of track. II
Is claimed that amount OF oil VIII keep
the track free from dust and weeds for
one year. Many eastern railroads have
experimental with oil on the roadbed.
some likinS 1t and others disseminating
Its use. Regarding the use OF oil on
roadbeds. President Tuttle. OF the Bos-
ton & Maine. says: I'VE have had
grea; success with the use OF oil or
residium on our roadbeds. and have
contracted for 100000 gallons for use
on TIE roads this year. -fhe material
is not infianm1ble, and in connection
with the burning OF coke on our pas
senser engines In place OF soft coal
makes travelling conditions almost
perfect. Under our system OF oillng
the rcadbed we have to go over the
road once year for three years. after
which time the rcadbed is In perfect
condition, so far as dust and over
growth Is concerned. and requires no
further attention. 1t COS: US 500 q
mile Of double track for each oiling.
or total cost OF 5000 mile OF double
track for three years attention, but
believe this expenditure Is more
than Offset by the lack OF hot boxes
caused BY sand getting In the bear

and other growth, etc, not taking into
consideration the greater comfort to

CORONATION BALL.

The Coronation Ball occurred on
the evening of July 4th at Goodloe's
Hall, and was one of the most enjoy
able and successful features of very
successful celebration. The hall,
which was kindly furnished by Good
loe Bros, was brilliantly lighted, and
being a large, airy hall, with finely
polished floor, made an ideal place
for dancing. Owing to the other
exercises of the day, especially the
fireworks IN the early part of the
evening, it was after 10 o'clock be-
fore the light-hearted dancers had as
sembled and the strains of music be-
gan. Music was furnished by the
Colored Orchestra of Big. Stone Gap,
composed of five pieces, led by Prof.
Bob Lisle, and would have done cred
it to any city. In the variety and
deft execution of the pieces rendered,
the music was all that could have
been desired
The ball was in charge of COM
mittee of the Athletic Association,
composed of Messrs. Irvine, Slemp,
Anderson and Ferguson, who grace
fully did the honors of the occasion.
After the opening waltz, it was an
nounced that the crowns would be
bestowed, and thereupon Gen. r. A.

Iron Market Review.

The Chattanooga Tradesman, OF
July LIST says: The iron and steel
market continues somewhat irregu-
lar, but wherever values are compar'
atively settled on the lower basis IN
quiries and sales are more numerous
The opinion prevails that prices are
close to basis that is safe for con-
sumers and they are disposed to COW
er requirements whenever special In
side rates can be secured.
Altogether the market may be de-
scribed as quiet, but is is expected
that a considerable amount of buying
will be done during the month of Ju'
ly as consumers yards are unusually
bare of stock.
One encouraging feature OF the sit
uation is the fact that general shut
down of the mills will occur July L
which will last from two to foul
weeks. This will take a large
amount of material out of the market
and will stimulate trade when opera
tons are resumed.
The largerir on interests In the
south are not quoting inside figures
and are making but little effort to
sell, being yet busy on old business.
