Capital.
ST OK
DOUBLED
Coal & Coke Road Owned by Henry c.
Davis Has Now capitalization of
Ten Million Dollars.

The secretary Of state has been noti-
flied by Hon. II. G. Davis, president OF
the Coal i Coke railroad, formerly the
Charleston, Clcndennin and Sutton rail
road, that At meeting OF that company
held in Washington, d. c., the capital
stock of the company has been increased
from 100000 to 100000. This
would seem to indicutc the early com.
pletion of the road that d to be lead by
the most direct aine from Charlcston 10
the northern part OF the state The road.
- far as completed, Is one of the most
substantially constructed IN the country.
People who have never inspected its
roadbed would be surprised ut the solid
ity of its CONSTRUCTION, the a,eaviness OF
the rails, and nil the requirements of a
irst-ciass trunk line. One never hears
OF an accident on the Goal 4 Coke. It
is safe prediction to say that when the
road is opened to through trawea by it's
completion that the travelling public viii
be under the impression that they arc
travelling over an odd road, rather than a
new one. So much for development
carried out to its fruition by the tails
manic hands of the Hon. Stephen b. Ell
kins and the Hon. Henry G. Davis, who
have done more to develop West Virginia
than any other two men in the state.

An Illinois Central Switchman
Caught in a Frog.
Life Crushed out OF Him by the
Cars-Lived Only
Short time.
INQUEST HELD THIS MORNING.

William r. Perpoli, an I. Q. watcn-
man, of No. s Huntington Row, met
a horrible death yesterday afternoon
at AIS O'Clock under the wheels Of a
switch engine. His foot was caught
in a switch frog and he was run down
unable to move to make his predica-
ment known to the engineer.
Perpoli was regularly employed by
the !. O. as . car repairer but was laid
off several weeks ago when the cut in
forces was made at the shops. He ap-
piled for q position as switchmau, not
desiring to leave Paducah, and was
assigned to engine number ESQ under
Foreman Kelley Charleton. He had
been working on the engine since and
yesterday afternoon was switching
near the /. O. depot, at the n. O. &
ST. l.. railroad crossing, got his foot
it Is presumed in frog and the
engine, pushing a line Of cars ran him
down.
Perpoli was directly in the way of
the cars and was hidden from the
view of the trainmen on the engine
and nobody stood by to signal warn
ing to the engine man. The unfortu-
nate switchman was struck and after
his body had been horribly mangled by
the wheels of the cars, was torn loose
from the track and dragged fifty feet
before the accident was discovered and
the engine stopped. willing hands
went to the dying man and carried him
to the baggage room Of the depot
where surgeons were summoned but
they were powerless to render relief
the switchman dying before anything
could be done for him. He died ct
$50.
His body was mAngled SO badly that
a hand had to be cut of in order that
the physicians could get his clothes
of to dress the wounds. The right
foot and arm were taken Off by the
wheels and the body crushed and
mangled from the hips down. After
death Undertakers Nance and Spauld.
inc were summoped and took the
body to their shop to prepare it for
burial.
Perpoli leaves a wife and three
children and came here from Memphis,
where the remains will be shipped for
burial. He Is brother-in-law of
Engineer John Mcclure and was a
regular member of the Brotherhood of
Railway Carmen, under whose aus
pieces he will be buried.

BETTER FIRE PROTECTION


The proposed increase in the fire
department would entail an additional
expense of over $4,000 a year in sal
aries alone. Paduoah probably needs
the additional men and machines,
however, and it is likely If other ap-
preparations were shaved down as they
can be, the additional cost of better
fire protection would not be felt by the
taxpayers. Every property owner
will Be- indirectly benefited by a
larger fire department in the reduction
of insurance rates, as we'll ss in pro-
lection from fire.
The people do not desire any I'M
necessary burdens, but IL Paducah
needs more firemen and another sta
ton. she should have them without
delay. The question of being able to
stand the expense is A secondary con-
sideration.

IN BLOODY BREATHITT.

A committee of prominent citizens"
from Breathitt county called on the
Governor Wednesday to protest against
the withdrawal of troops from Jack
son. In other words, they want the
taxpayers of the state to put up none"
Indefinitely for enforcing peace in the
bloody ud.country. Strange to say,
some of those same virtuous men who
have by innuendo, il not by expressed
charges, been blamed for the democrat
ization in JACKSON, ar Q now the most
active individuals in the pious effort
to keep the soldiers there.
If the civil authorities cannot en-
force the laws and preserve order, as
their duties require, they should re.
sign or be impeached, and allow the
people to elect men who can and will.
Then If the people do not elect men
who can and will give them peace
and protection the people alone are
responsible, and must take the conse-
quences Of their mistake. The people
of Kentucky have been Inundated and
disgraced long enough by the lawless
people of Breathitt, and while as a
whole the people of the state desire
peace, if the blood thirsty denizens of
Breathitt are not to be satisfied except
when killing one another, there seems
to be no plausible reason why the rest
of the state should longer interfere.
At any rate. the state has done all
possible to reform the belligerent com.
munity, and can hardly be expected to
keep a standing army there always.
Gov. Beckham is reported TO have said
to the committee that called upon him
and asked that the troops remain:
~ feel that it is my duty to refuse
to rescind the order. The troops must
leave jackson tomorrow. l cannot
afford to place such burden upon the
no VI iu
guard would require. The civil au-
thorities should be able to control the
situation now that the soldiers have
been there. The sending Of troops
there has already imposed a heavy
obligation upon the people of the state
When the troops were first ordered
there the conditions warranted it, but
that condition no longer prevails. /
will not rescind my order"
Possibly If it were ascertained who
is reaping the benefits arising from
the money paid the soldiers and ex-
pended to feed them, the real reason

so unwilling to Pee the tEoc'se ~.

The company is scheduled to leave

This will give them only an hour in
Frankfort before the inaugural parade
forms, and Captain Caldwell is afraid
that shonld the train be late out of

Paducah company into Louisville too
late to catch the L. and N. train for
Frankfort for permission TO leave here
at noon December instead of at
