Mrs. Wigqs Very Mad.

Mrs. Mary Bass. of Louisville. better
known as Mrs. Wigs, of the Cab
bage Patch, is lnflamed once more OF
account of the notoriety she has gain
ed as the original of Mrs. Alice Hogan s
story, and this time has sought balm
for her injured feelings to the tune OF
$3.50, 900 as damages from Liebler & Co..
now producing the dramatized version
of the book.
| The suit was entered at Columbus,
Ohio, because the play will be present
ed there next week, and Mrs. Bass de
sires to prevent the use of her name in
connection with the production.
Mrs. Bass asserts that her right of
privacy has been violated by the de
PENDANTS. They have employed two
women TO impersonate her, she alleges
in her suit, land these women have Ell
tered into many contracts to engage in
ludicrous and ridiculous enterprises.
Not content with demanding $3.50, 600
for the annoyance caused her by hav
ing her name connected with the play,
Mrs. Bass wants a restraining order
issued against the managers to prevent
them from mentioning her name in
connection with the production in any
way whatever. Her name is of course,
not mentioned in the play itself.
Mrs. Bass dwells in the Cabbage
Patch, which is real place in the out
skirts of Louisville, and while the pic
lures of her good nature have not been |
overdrawn much in Mrs. Rice's stories, |
no idea of her temper when aroused |

Work on the South and Western
Railway, which is to extend through
Scott county to the vast coal fields of
Wise county, is assuming gigantic pro-
portions, and construction is moving
forward at rapid rate. All the work
being done is of the most substantial
character. The grade is as near per
feet as the highest engineering skill
can make it, the object being to secure
a road for the rapid transfer of the
coal to the South Atlantic coast Vast
fills of stones and earth are to take the
place of the long, high trestles so COM
mon in this mountainous section.
Vast quantities of material for the
work of construction are arriving
daily, Many carloads of great cast
iron culverts, five feet in diameter, are
being unloaded aud transferred to the
works. Tue work of making the tun-
nels through Clinch Mountain, eight
miles west of Gate City, is well under
Way. On this work the contractors,
Messrs. Walton and Company, will
employ two forces, working day and
night. They have contracted to finish
the tunnel, which is over three quar-
ters of a mile in length, within eighteen
months.
Up the valley of Clinch River, from
Speer's Ferry to DuDgannon, the work
is being prosecuted with vigor. For
the greater part of this way the road is
being built along the high liver bluffs.
Giant explosive, skilfully used. are
throwing down the great bluffs and
carving out a rOadbed of solid stone.
The company is paying the highest
rates of wages, and as result it is I'M.
possible to procure farm labor in this
section. One evil effect of this will be
short crops while the road is being con-
structtd. For the past few years Scott
county has been producing surplus,
bringing general prosperity.
