THE ELECTRIC CAR LINE

AS outlined in our last issue, the
Electric Car Line Is rapidly taking
shape and form, and the scheme may
now be considered a certainty.
The plan embraces the organiza-
ton of company, to be known as
the Tazewell Light and Power Com
pany, into which the present street
Railway will be merged. The capital
stock of the company Is put at
$40, 100000, which amount will be
used in developing the water power
of the GRAPHICAL Mill property, at
Maxwell, where the Power House
Will be located, and the running of
wires to Tazewell, the purchase of
the present electric light plant, of
SPOTS Bros, and moving the same
to North Tazeweil, putting the track
in order, equipment, etc. 1t is esti-
mated 10y an expert, that $40, 10000
will be sufficient, with Perhaps few
hundred dollars left over, TO put the
line IN full operation. The object of
moving the present Electric Light
plant 10 North Tazewell, chiefly is,
we 5elieye, 10 avoid expenses of
hauling coal from the depot TO town,
which cannot be done for less than
nifty cents per tou-quite an item i'm
large amount of hauling. And,
then, the present plant can be used
supplementary, in case of breakage
or accident at main power house etc.
The entire scheme is plain an
simple. 1t proposes, simply to build
an electric car line in the place OF
our present one, and to do this as
quickly as possible, with as little
cost as possible, consistent with first
class work. The Company express
their Willingness 10 have every
citizen OF the town a subscriber 10
the capital stock, and it is to be
hoped that this will be the case.

Rev. Cassel of Graham VIII Take
Charge of Bluefield Church.

Bluefleld, W. Va. March 1.-THE
Telegraph says: "Plans have recently
been consum mated in which the Luth-
eran Church in this city and the one in
Graham form pastorate The Synod
insisted upon recommending such an
arrangement because it Is evident that
the Lutheran interest in Bluefleld is
such that man ought to give his
entire time to it. The same is true Of
Graham. But there is a scarcity OF
ministers in the Chucb, and so many
mission points are being opened up
tina. the Synod found it impossible to
cover the entire territory as desired.
BY this arrangement it is possible
for the Synod to put man at work in
the Flat Top coal fields.
These two churches wont be very
effectively served by one man. The
electric line between Bluefleld and
Graham Will soon be complete. The
two towns will then be almost one.
Rev. Ii. w. Cassell, who has been
pastor of this church at Graham for
more than five years, and also preach
throughout the Flat Top coal fields,
has been called by the respective con-
gregations and by the mission board Of
the Lutheran church. He will con-
tinue TO make his home in Graham but
well devote more than half OF his time
to the work in Bluefleld. Until the
weather is settled there will be preach
ing in Bluefield on forenoon OF each
first and third Sunday.
Having been intimately associated
with former pastors here sand being
thoroughly acquainted with the situa-
ton he is in position to prosecute the
work uninterrupted"

Cost of Legislature.

The cost OF the two months session
of the General Assembly which will adj
journ Tuesday will aggregate between
S55,770 and 100000. exclusive of print
ing, which is u considerable factor.
Doorkeeper S. NJ. Donald, who is also
paymaster Of the Senate, furnishes the
following approximate statement of the
cost Of the Serate session:
Ter diem of members. 50, GOO; milage
of members, l,lG0 60; salary of clerks
officers and employees, 81 ,533 10; milage
OF clerks and employees, S355 20: total.
S15,6iS. 90.
The membership of the House of
Delegates is twice and n half rs num-
erous rs that of the Senate, and its
employees are more numerous also.
Estimating on this basis, the House
session has cost about $4,000. The
total cost will therefore be not less
than 500, 900.
This estimate, of course, takes no
account of the appropriations, which,
in addition To the regular ones, will ag-
gregate 100000

The Express Strike.

The strike of the telegraphers at
small stations on the Norfolk and Wes-
tern took place mt u o'clock Saturday.
The express company issued orders
closing 325 small stations Offices. and
engaging new men ut the larger places
where the operators stru TX and refused
to handle express matter. Much of
the express matter for small stations
will be sent by freight.
Officials are much disturbed over the
strike. The Norfolk and Western is
taking no part in the fight. The ex-
press officials refused to grant the de-
mands Of the operators for increase
commissions and the Order of Railway
Photographers ordered the strike. 1t is
said that independent express Offices
will be opened at many of the towns
affected by the strike.
