AOueer Accident.

A very unusual accident occurred
last Saturday which came near re-
sultlng in the death Of VIM. Hew-
lett. II is still feared that his in
jurIes may bring a fatal result.
Mr.. Hewlett had discovered a
Hbee tree" on his farm and took two
OF his employees out TO cut 1t. The
tree stood on the side Of a hill, near
cliff that was twenty feet high.
He planned to have the tree fall
into the fork OF another tree, whore
the honey could be easily extract
ed. In another fork OF the same
tree was lodged smaller one that
had fallen in a d ERECTION that put
1t at a right angle to the falling bee
tree. Mr.. Hewlett was sitting on.
the lower end Of the smaller tree.
The bee tree foil with such force
that 1t broke the fork into which 1t
was directed,and crashing on down
1T broke the tree on which Mr..
Hewlett was sitting. He was
thrown into the air distance Of
probably thirty feet, turning sew
eral somersaults aud alightlng up
on his head and shoulders on the
edge of the cliff. He went on over
the preeipice, again striking upon
his head. He was almost com
pletcly paralyzed, but has since
recovered the use OF the upper por-
ton OF his body. He is not ration
al except at very brief periods, and
is In serious condition, though
the physicians think he has fair
chance for recovery. Mr.. Hewlett
is 60 years OF age. He is brother
OF Rev. IL. b. Hewlett, His home
is five miles below Louisa on the
West Virginia side OF the river.

RIVER IMPROVEMENT.
Present Status Of the Big Sandy
River Slackwater Project.

A letter from Gen. Gillespie,
Chief OF Engineers Of the United
states. written to Congressman
Kehoe in response to his urgent
appeals for action in the matter OF
contracting the two locks above
Louisa, says the selection OF an
economical site on Tug river has
proved to be very difficult. II Is
found, he says, that the location on
Tug fork can not be definitely
chosen until the next low water.
lie also calls attention TO the fact
that a suitable foundation means
the saving Of many thousands OF
dollars.
We learn from the same letter
that Col. Ruifner has been directed
to begin negotiations toward the
purchase OF the site recently Sc
ltcted for Levisa fork.
Col. Gillespie's attontion Is res.
pectfully called TO the fact that the
river has already reached a low
stage and 1t is hoped he will have
whatever steps he desires taken
Immediately.
1t lsa matter Of deep regret that
the action herein reported was neg
lected so long thatan entire season
is already practically lost. II there
is any good excuse for this, we
have never been able to learn what
1t is, although we have been trying
to ferret out the matter for four
months.
The noxt delay will be in procur.
ling titles to the sites. Our friends
must follow 1t up closely, so as to
secure as prompt action as pos
sible.
Dam No. 2 has not yet been con
tracted and there is no evidence
visible to the public that u viii

A Fair sOngslress.

Waves Of melody filled the spa
cIous auditorium OF tho Southern
Methodist Church last Tuesday
morning. A food OF delicious har-
mony swept through tho sacred
building, floating out upon the stu
summer air, dying away as the fair
songstress closed each glowing
number. 1t was a delightful rev.
elation 10 most OF us, We had
read and heard OF Miss Florence
Wadsworth-of her wonderful
voice, its exquisite sweetness, and
OF the singers charm Of manner,

mentioned showed very we'll the
great sweetness and wonderful Hex
ibllity, as well as the great range
OF her high soprano voice. Moth
Ing seemed too high or difficult fol
perfect rendition, and yet the fair
vocalist was compelled to use az
organ accompaniment when the
score OF all the selections presented
called for the plano. But this did
not seem 10 cause the slightest
trouble. Her own matchloss organ
so perfectly controlled, so full o.
delightful melody, caused US to be
obllvlous to all save what emanat
ed from that swelling throat. AND
after all, II appears that an accom-
paniment is not ut all necessar!
