Norfolk and Western Plans.

The plans of the Norfolk and "es-
tern for the current year embrace
about $50 miles of new construction
45O miles of double-tracking and
about 25 miles of reconstruction. In
the matter Of equipment, arrangements
have been made for $500 freight cars,
of which about $500 have already
been received; 25 passenger coaches
and 100 locomotives.
The most important of the new lines
contemplated by the system will reach
the coal lands recently purchased by
the United States Steel Company in the
Flat Top region of West Virginia.
Surveys are we'll under way for this
line which will be about 70 miles OF
track all told. The line is known as
the Big Sandy low grade line and will
run from Kenova to Naugatuek.
| There are half dozen minor branch
lines contemplated, the object OF most
Of which is the better handling of To-
cal freight traffic. Preliminary sur
veys are in progress for a branch line
mn the New river, about 81 miles into
North Carolina.
Contracts have already ibeen let for
great deal of double-tracking, and
the work is being pushed through as
rapidly as possible. The experience
Of the coal strike months taught the
the management that it was necessary
TO have far better track facilities
throughout the entire main line, and
the extensive plans Of the company
are therefore in part direct result OF
these months of congested traffic,
Within the past few days the company
has placed contracts for the building
of about 60 miles of double track on
the Pocahontas and New river divis-
ions.
Construction work is under way on
the Scioto Valley division for the cake
of reducing grades and eliminating
curves and for the construction OF
eight miles of track, including five
tunnels, between Welch and Davy,
w. Va.
The company also has under con-
tract construction of shops and yards
at Portsmouth, Ohio, and the enlsrg-
ing of yards at Williamson, W. Va
the building of new yard at Cincln-
natl, and the enlarging of the yards at
Bluefeld and Roanoke.

Disgorged an Eel.

A fish story, in which physicians
were in vain and even patent medi-
cines failed, was brought to light in
New York a day or two ago. IfprOot
Of its yeracity is needed, it is sufficient
to say that the patient is in the Long
Island Hospital recovering from his
troubles. Shortly after the Cunard
steamship Csmpania left Liverpool
one of the Storage passengers, Nells
Anderson, was stricken with an illness
that balled the ships doctor. He
suffered from violent coughing spells
and complained of severe pains in the
stomach. In fact, he had all of the
symptoms described in the patent
medicine lads. His disease, what
ever it was, refused to yield to the
doctors treatment, and he was unable
to obtain relief. When the steersge
passengers stood up in line for exam
instion by the surgeons of the immi-
grafton service Anderson was sudden
ly attacked with a fit of coughing
more severe than any which be had
experienced before. Apparently he
was choking to death. The physicians
hurried to his side. Suddenly an eel,
six inches long, popped out of his
mouth and wiggled away. Straight
ening, be seemed to have obtained re-
lief Those who tell the story assert
that the eel was probably swallowed
when quite young, and that it had
grown to the size which it had at
tanned when it made its appearance
yesterday.

Everybody knows the last chap

Isn't it pitiable' The more so
since common cough-cures don't
cure a hacking cough. They only
temporarily dry it up and upset the
stomach. The cause is still there
We believe we can help nine
cases out of ten of this kind-that
is about our average of relief and
cure so far.
We do it with Vinol, which is
made from the best remedy for

What Interested Napoleon.

At one of NapoIeon's reviews an
old grenadier who had made the cam
paigns of Italy and Egypt, not hear
ing his name pronounced, left the
ranks and asked for the Legion Of
Honor.
"What have you done, said Napo-
leon, "to obtain this recompense?"
at was l, sire, who, in the desert
of Jafa, in a dreadful heat, offered
you a watermelon.
q thank you again for it, but that
is not worth the Legion Of Honor.
The grenadier who SO far had been
as cold as ice flew into parozysm
and said with great volubilty, DO
you count for nothing seven wounds
received at the bridge of Arcola, at
Lodi, at Castigioine, at the Pyramids,
at Saint Jean d'Acre, at Austerlitz, at
Friedland-ll campaigns in Italy, in
Egypt, in Austria, in Prussia, in Po-
land ?"
Here the emperor interrupted him,
and initiating his vivaciOus language,
said: "Well, well, well How you
screaml Now you come to essential
points; you end where you ought to
have begun. This is better than your
watermelon"

SIGNATURE TO DEED E.
NOT LIKE DANIELS.
A Comparison Of the Two
Shows Fatal Points OF
Difference.

ME signature OF r. e. Daniel, OF North
r,,rolina. and that to the Barraud deed
~ trust arc very far from being alike.
There are certain "earmarks" about the
signature to letters received here from
r. u. Daniel that very clearly dlnoren-
tiate It from the alleged Daniel signature
to the decd. The letter 20 OF ADan'el's
signature is begun with downward
stroke. This Is entirely absent IN the
signature to the deed, SO 1t Is said py
those who have studied the latter. IN the
Daniel signature to letters the tall OF the
,l'' curves back over the word This
very peculiar mark, noticed IN two Sig
natures OF Daniel written at d'enrent
times is also declared to be absent from
the signature OF the deed.
Mr., Henry A. Atkinson, counsel for MT,
Beck, said yesterday that he preferred
not to permit the signature OF the deed
70 he traced and printed at this time.
Attorney Atkinson Is not by any means
despondent regarding the situation his
client finds himselt In, lie believes that
II takes more than one swallow TO make
summer. and when the proper tlHle
comes he is going to leave no stone un-
turned to protect his clients interests
He is not saying anything now, because
no does not wish to show his hand, hut
he does not despair by any means, lie
expects, SO 1t Is understood, that there
are going to be some interesting reyela-
lions when tho matter gets into court. as
Il certainly will. whether Barraud is ever
found or not.
When tho first interest note becomes
due In February next Mr.. Beck. acting
upder advice Of Mr.. Atkinson, will call
uron Mr.. r., u, Daniel to pay it, But
Mr.. Daniel stoutly repudiates ever having
made the loan. and declares the deed to
be forged. It Is presumed that he is pre-
pared to prove his absence from Rich
miond on August 18TH last, MS he says he
vas. Mr.. Atkinson declares that In the
event the note is not paid he will offer
the property for sale to satisfy the debt.
Naturally an Injunction will DO asked

fight will then be on.t
