The Danbury Reporter says:
Mr.. r. E. Lyon, of Baltimore, one of
the capitalists who conformity cwn
large number of the valuable iron mines
in this community, is here in the inter-

for a railroad from Madison to the mines.
Mr.. Lyon tells us that railroad to this
community is now an assured fact, and
the survey will be made within three
weeks. The road will be constructed by
the company of which Mr.. Lyon is one of
the leading members. A compact has
been entered into with the Southern Rail-
way Company whereby that company
will extend its line from Leaksville to
Madison, thus intersecting with our
branch and giving us an outlet to Dan
vile, which town Mr.. Lyon thinks will
be greatly benefited by large shipments
of tobacco from Stokes and Rockingham.
THE above mentioned iron mines lie
four miles northeast from Danbury, and
it is thought the nearest depot to this
place will be Hartman's store, though the
fine mineral springs and other advantages
Of this immediate section may induce an
extension of the road here.

will be set to work in the mines immed-

Until the supreme court acts
upon the question as to tho right
of the comptroller general to issue
his warrants tor the payment of
the pei sion appropriation intend-
ed to be provided for by the legis-
lature no warrants can he sent
out. In other words the muddle
that the pension appropriation
measures were gotten into on the
last night of the last session of the
general assembly has made it
necessary for the supreme court
to handle the matter before any
penslCner on the rolls in this State
can procure the pension money
contemplated.
Some days ago the attorney
general was about to prepare an
opinion covering the complicated
legal questions involved when
State Treasurer Jennings intims-
ted that, while the operation of

great weight, he preferred to have
the court act on the issues before
he proceeded to pay out the extra
$50, 900; the attorney general at
once decided that the matter should
go to the courts and tho proper
steps were taken.

following statement yesterday
relative to his condition:
CDR. w o Nlsbet, in some re
spects. has been much relieved
and benefited by the operation for
double mastoid abscese which was
performed on April 14th. There
has been no formation of pus in
the adjacent bones since the oper-
alton. The wounds have been and
are today in perfect condition, and
are healing rapidly. The patient
has good appetite, is free from
pain and his hearing on both sides
is normal.
"Cert"in symptoms, however,
were not relieved by the opera
tion, and their nature and persis.
tence cause constant anxiety and
reveal tho presence of a complex
ion which may become dangerous.
But rs respects these symptoms,
there has been noteworthy i'm
provement yesterday and today"
