Real Estate Deal Discussed.

The purpose of Mr.. c. P. King, presi-
dent of the Washington, Alexandria and
Mount Vernon Railroad Company, in pur-
chasing a piece of property which was a
part of Peyton's grove. in a line with
Cameron street west. has occasioned con-
siderable speculation here. It is said the
electric road will acquire possession of
the tract for a roadbed connecting the
Cameron street line with the main line in
the county. and thus extending a double
track to the north. The plan Of the COM
pany to complete the double-tracking
from Four Mile run to this city has al
ready been announced. The work on this
extension will be started, it is under
stood. as soon as the weather conditions
permit in the spring.

unique method of informing

it must stop hauling coal from

report, a passenger train on the

last Thursday night near Black
ford, In Webster county. rhe
men tagged the train, climbed
into the cab Of the engine and
told the engineer and fireman
that the hauling of coal from the
mines must be stopped. The train
was then allowed to proceed with
out further interference. Few of
the passengers knew why the
stop had been made, and they
were not interfered with at all.
The train carried mail, so the
stopping of the train comes with
in the United States statutes,
and the perpetrators of the act
can be severely punished

sky THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Is the Amount the L, & N. Will Pay Into
the Treasury of Kentucky.

Two yea1s ago the State Board
of Valuation and Assessment
assessed the franchise Of the L..
and N. at a figure claimed by the
l.. and n. TO be the full cash
value of the franchise. All
other roads and corporations, so
it was commended, were not as
sessed exceeded 80 per cent of
the full cash value. Therefore,
the L, aud NJ, through its at
torneys, claimed that it was en-
titled to that 20 per cent abate-
ment. The Federal Circuit Court
of Appeals sustained this view
held by the L. and n. Then the
State, the style of the case being
Gus G. Coulter VS.. the l.. and
NJ, appealed it to the Supreme
Court.
The Supreme Court, all the
Justices concurring in Justice
Holmes opinion, reversed the
case and dismissed it for want of
jurisdiction in the lower court.
This, according to Col. Henry L.
Stone and Mr.. Walter ID. Hines,
who are in Washington, set
ties the litigation, and Mr.. Hines
says probably establishes an i'm.
portant precedent. The fran
chise was assessed at 1886, 900, 900,
the 20 per cent abatement claim
ed by the l.. and N. amounted to
$6,000,000 The assessment was
80 cents on the 800. Therefore,
both Col. Stone and Mr.. Hines
say the effect of the decision
means that the railroad will have
to pay $30,000 into the State
treasury for State taxes and
equally that sum for city and
county taxes, making $50, 900 in
all, in addition to the so per
cent assessment. Hence the de-
cision means much to the State
and to the railroad.
A coincidence in connection
with the case is that Col. Henry
l.. Stone was against the L. and
N. when the action was brought
and today, as chief counsel for
the l.. and N, heard Justic
Holmes uphold his contention
and that of Attorney General
Hayes against the railroad he is
now representing.

JUNE LOGAN SHOT.
Sister in Law Becomes Offended and
Pumps Lead Into Him.

The quiet of the Sabbath day
was rudely broken when two
shots rang out upon the silent
air near the residence of Char
lie Curtis. Ella Logan, colored,
was taking a shot at June Logan
also of color. 1t seems that a
few days previously June and
his sister-in-law, Ella, had a
slight misunderstanding and had
called each other pet names and
June was ordered never again to
cross the threshold of the Logan
residence. Thinking her anger
had cooled he undertook to
make Sunday visit to his
brother and was met at the door
bv the irate Ella. June spoke
to her pleasantly and she instead
of returning his sulutation re-
piled by opening fire. on HIM with
30 caliber revolver. One shot
took effect in the right breast.
She fired the second time but
June was not there.
The parties were brought be-
fore Judge Cowell Monday.
June was cleared and Ella was
bound over to circuit court un-
der bond of 10000. Physi.
clans probed for and found the
ball embedded in the flesh. 1t
was removed without difficulty
and June is again going about
his daily business.

HORRIBLE
DISASTER.
One Hundred and Sixteen Men
Entombed in the Virginia
Mines Near Birmingham.
RESCUES HARD AT WORK.

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 21.-
According to the official list of
the check weighman at the Vir-
ginia mines, where an explosion
late yesterday afternoon entomb-
ed all the men in the mine, there
were 107 miners, helpers and
other workers in The Inflated
mine at the time Of the disaster.
However, il is admitted that a
number of newly employed men,
whose names were not checked
off, entered the mine, aud, as
nearly as can be figured, there
we're ilG persons entombed when
the explosion took place.
Since midnight last night,
when it was realized for the first
time the great difficulties which
would be encountered in reach
ing the men and the fact that
the nine was filed with noxious
gases, all hope of saving any of
the men alive has been abandon
ed. Attention is now being
turned to getting the bodies out
as rapidly as possible, but, owing
to the presence of gas and the
small opening which is being
made as the rescuers 90 down,
together with the scarcity of
safety lanterns, this work is nee
essiarly very slow.
As a consequence but two
bodies had been recovered up to
ten o'clock to. day, that of John
Brown, white driver, and an
unknown negro. The men who
brought out these bodies said
they saw two other corpses near
where these were found, but
were unable to get them out be-
cause of the mass of fallen tim
Der and the large amount of de-
bris. A platform has been ar
ranged at the mouth of the mine
on which to lay the bodies for
Identification as they are brought
out, and around this platform
hundreds of women and children
are gathered, wailing and crying.
The bodies so far recovered are
terribly blackened and mangled,
and indicate that the victims
were killed by the explosion.
However, it is believed that the
majority of those in the mine
met death from suffocation, and
not from injuries received from
the explosion. The explosion
was fearful in its force, a volume
of flame a hundred feet high
shooting out of the mouth of the
mine. However, the mine was
not set on fire.
The rescue work will 90 on
without cessation until every
body has been taken out. Hun
dreds of miners from various
mines in the district have gone
to Virginia to assist in the work
of rescue.
Up to 2:30 O'Clock this after
noon thirteen charred and black
ened corpses had been taken
from the mine where the fright
full explosion of yesterday oc.
Cured. The bodies are being
viewed by hundreds.
The. corpses lie stretched out
on platform at. tkern1outh of
the mines. A special train will
take them to Bessemer this
evening, where they will be pre-.
pared for burial. The rescue
party is now we'll down in the
mine and it is believed that by
night all the bodies will be got
ten out.
