locomotives Burning Oil.

The first oil fuel railway loco
motives ever seen in Nashville
passed through the city Sunday
and Monday, en- route from the
locomotive works to the Southern
Pacific yards in New Orleans,
where they will be put in the
freight service of the system i'm
mediately. The locomotives were
magnificent specimens of railroad
engines and were made on the
latest model. The position usually
occupied by the coal tender was
filed by an oil tank, and the dust,
smoke and other annoying features
we're entirely eliminated. -Four
of the oil-tuel engines passed
through the yards of the Nashville
terminals Sunday, and large mum
bers, composed mainly of railroad
employees, inspected the locomo-
tiyes with a lively interest. The
inspection Of the engines caused
many to have for the first time a
realization that oil is a decided
factor in the problem of fuel for
motive power, and that the Texas
oil fields are no longer visionary
project, but have become an i'm
portant branch of the industrial
life of the Southwest. Two more
of the engines will pass through
the city in day or two, and large
crowds of outsiders as well as rail
road men will 90 to the yards to
see the locomotives, which are
probably the last that will be seen
in this section of the country for
quite a while, asthe transportation
of the fuel cannot yet be accom-
plished cheapIy enough to justify
its adoption in other sections of
the country than those where it is

Destructive Fire in Troy.

Fire bugs have been at work in
Troy. Tuesday morning between
2 and o'clock the Troy Roller
Mills, the property of w. ]. Myers
& Bro, were discovered to be on
fire and in few hours were re-
duced to ashes. The fact that the
flames were seen first to issue from
the main entrance to the mill makes
the impression very strong that it
was the work of an incendiary.
The mills and machinery are val
ued at about S22,0 There were
housed about 5000 bushels of wheat
and 100 barrels of corn, worth bout
S., 900, aggregating in value, $25,-
600, consumed by the flames.
The fire was discovered by J. p.
Myers, one Of the firm, who lives
near the mill, and had reached such
an extent that it was impossible to
save the property. Mr.. Myers ran
to the office to save the books, but
could not get them all, as the dense
smoke made it impossible to remain
in the room. The most valuable
books were in the safe, which is to
be opened when the debris has been
removed.
A small dwelling adjacent to the
mill, and also the property OF w. J.
Myers & Bro, caught from the heat
Of the burning mill and was con-
sumed. w. ]. Myers places the
loss at S25,000 with $4,000 insur-
ance in the Ohio M1llers' Associa-
ton and possibly $4,000 in the In
diana Miilers' Association, but is
not sure Of this latter policy being
in force till the safe is opened, The
net loss, therefore, is $4,000. He
also stated they would continue to
buy all wheat that came to market
and that it was their intention to
rebuild as soon as possible.
THIS was one of the largest mills
in West Tennessee, having a ca
pacity of 200 barrels of flour and
100 barrels of meal daily, and en-
joyed large foreign patronage.
There has been a very strong
against some worthless
character who has been making
himself generally odlous about
Troy for some time, and if clue
of any consequence could have been
found there might have been speedy
Justice.
The Myers brothers came from
Princeton, Ky, and located in Troy
about twelve years ago, at which
time the first building was erected,
and began the manufacture of flour,
etc. They bought and established
A considerable wheat market IN
Troy and were very successful with
their business, being men of ptac-
-ical experience as millers and |
inanciers. They always kept the
mill supplied with the latest inn
displacing old machines
With new ones as soou as they were
ound to be more useful and profit
lble. Not only this, they are good
men of the highest in
egrity, and the citizens of Troy
eel the calamity almost as much as
hey. However, it is understood
hat they will begin at once to erect
lew mills on the same site, and
will be better equipped in every
way.

ed he found ST, 500. He was in
town to-day and spent number of
81 coins, some of which dated back
as far as 1886. The coin seems
very bright to have been buried any

gold was buried during the war,

ton of Flanaga Stokes of the Seventh

was Wooten. The resignation Of Nicholas

OF this merry comedy wrote that sue
cessful play Browns in Town" that has

able tangle OF ludicrous mistakes,
where a group of eccentric characters
are perpetually playing at cross-pur-

the second act everything is topsy-tur-

"a Runaway Match" contains some
OF the most clever people in the theat-
