A New Connection.

In connection with q visit of A. N.
Wordsworth, general superintendent of
the Ohio River and Charleston railway,
the Knoxville Journal and Tribune
prints the following:
''Mr. Wordsworth says that the
country has gone forward SO fast and
the Southern has bought so much new
track to be operated that it is almost
impossible for it to get cars enough for
its own use, and therefore makes it
hard on the 0. r. & c., which must
look to the Southern for cars to get its
freight away from johnson City. He
reports business good ON his line.
Mr.. Molesworth's company is plan
ming to build nine miles of road this
spring and summer to connect the o.
R. & g. with the Virginia and South
western. The road will be built from
Carnegie, where the o. r. & G. enters
Johnson City, to point not far from
Bluff City, where the Virginia and
Southwestern crosses the Southern.
The line would give johnson City q
competing line with the southern from
all points east and give the same rail-
road facilities at Bristol.

Evans to Retire.

Washington, March 4.-The Star, of
this city, which is supposed to be good
in matters Of administration
news, and is particularly friendly to H.
Clay Evans. says this afternoon
''It may be stated upon unquestioned
authority that Commissioner H. Clay
Evans will not remain at the head of
the pension bereau during Mr.. McKin-
ley's second term, but when he will
hand over the control Of the office he
has SO acceptably filled, is not known
even to himself. He will doubtless re-
main in his present position o short
time, but it is understood that the pres
ident will reward him for his services
with diplomatic post"
There is no doubt but that the fore
going announcement is authentic. 1t
has been an open secret in Washington
for months that Mr.. Evans would re-
tire.

Want Railroad Extension.

Mountain City, March 0. There was
a mass meeting of the citizens of John
son county held at the courthouse yes
terday to take furthur action in regard
to inducing the Virginia and South
western Railway company to extend its
line from Maymead to this place. The
object of the meeting was to secure a
sufficient amount of money to grade
the proposed extension and furnish the
same with crossties, and if this propo-
sition is accepted the railway company
is expected to furnish the rails and OPP
crate the road. A private subscription
of about SO, 500 was secured for the pro-
posed extension. and a committee was
appointed to confer with the officials of
the Virginia and Southwestern Railway
and see if the proposition would meet
its approval. 1t is estimated that about
$4,000 will prepare the road ready for
the rails.

PRESSURE FOR CARS.

Rolling Stock.

A. N. Molesworth, superintendent
and chief engineer of the o. r. q @.
Railway, is here from johnson City,
the headquarters of the road, He came
to consult Superintendent Ewing, of
the Southern, in regard to cars for his
road, which uses Southern cars for
freight shipments altogether,
Mr. Wordsworth was only partially
successful. Superintendent Ewing told
him that the Southern was hard up for
cars itself and could use 200 more day
on this division and branches If it had
them. However, he promised to fur
nish the o, r. & G. all the cars posi-
BILE. These cars are needed to haul
lumber out of Mitchell county, N, O.,
and lumber and minerals from Unicoi
county, Tenn.
Mr.. Wordsworth says that his road,
which formerly ran from johnson City
to Erwin, distance Of twenty miles.
has now extended the line fifteen miles
further into Mitchell county, N. c.,
where number of mills are cutting
lumber. "a new bridge of the Howe
truss variety has been put across the
Nolachucky river at Unaka Springs"
said Mr.. Wordsworth, (Which was for
merly the end of the road, and Mr.. A.

large new hotel at those famous springs.
Unaka is one of the most delightful
and healthful spots in upper East Ten

The Lecturn Last Night.

Hon. ALI Taylor lectured here last
night to a good house. The audience
was II very select one and gave close
attention to the speaker, who was in
excellent condition. His flights of or
atory were sublime and his audience
was delighted. He is a speaker Of rare
attainments, and paints word pictures
with such ease and splendor that his
hearers are carried with him in his Pc
rorations. He moves from the sublime
to the ridiculous in the twinkling of an
eye, and is full of surprises from be-
ginning to end. He is witty, wise, and
brilliant, and held his audience enrap-
tured. Should he ever come this way
again he will meet with hearty recep-
ton from his newly-made friends. -

A Fire Horse.

The city has hired horse to pull the
hose cart to fires. The horse is a fine
specimen of horsehood and will be kept
at the city stables Shafts have been
put in the hose cart and regular snap
harness has been secured, and every
thing possible arranged to save time.
The horse will be carefully trained to
respond promptly to the alarm. This
will greatly improve the department
and enable the boys to do much more
efficient work. It was practically..im-
possible to pull the hose cart by hand
in time to save any building.

sizes for an official.
The witnesses examined were Cy H..

Leroy Reeves, A. r. Johnson, John
W. Hunter and James H. Shipley.
Mr.. Cox has fifteen days allowed him
by law to get proof for his side. he
will be down with his witnesses in a
few days and appear before Special
Master Ewing, who will hear that side
OF the proof and turn the whole matter
over to Judge Clark to pass on. This

nal docket the first week to take the
proof as special master. When the
criminal docket is cleared he will re.
main here and hear Mr.. Cox's side.

The headquarters of the Virginia

pany will move to johnson City. A
prominent official of the companies was
in the city last week and stated that
arrangements were about completed to
lease the large building IN Carnegie,
known as the Wilder block, for the
general Offices of the companies. This
step is made necessary by the enormous
rents charged at Bristol. The building
selected here is a handsome three-story
block 1OOx140 feet. The second and
third floors are cut into splendid Office
rooms with plenty of light and ventila-
ton. It is one of the handsomest and
best finished Office buildings In East
Tennessee and is admirably adapted to
the purposes of companies. The four
large store rooms on the first floor will
make fine rooms for the general pur-
chasing agents departments. Anyone
at all familiar with the building and
surroundings will see at once the wis
dom Of these people in selecting this
