For the defence Christopher Graham

packing, in this instance being done by
hand. When completed there was d
road as smooth as boulevard and more
pleasant to ride upon.
Three cllverts were put in, and the
stone for these were from an unused
stonewall by the road side. One Of
these was three feet by three, and the
others two and half by two and d
half They had four foot wall and
were tagged with fiat stones and covered
with stone six to eight inches thick.
Great care was also taken to properly
ditch the road, TO allow good drain
age.
With that done the road was thrown
open for public use. All last fall the
road gave excellent satisfaction and the
smoothness and the hardness OF ii were
generally commented upon Still there
We're doubts. 1t was said by some that
the winter weather would cause the bot
tom layer to heaye, and the melting of
the snow would reveal road full of
htmocks and depressions. Consequently
the coming Of spring with the loosening
up Of the ground was awaited with ex-

anxiety was needless. The road win

from Allisonia, Pulaski county, va. to
the Times says that while tamping pow

limestone quarry in that county, about
four miles west OF Allisonia, the blast
was accidentally discharged This caus-
ed the explosion of two other blasts
that had been set near by. Eight men
We're instantly killed, and two others
were SO badly injured as to leave but
little hope Of their recovery. The killed
are John Fortner, Walter Miller, John
Harris, lobe Sutton, 0. Davis and A.
Vaughn, all negro laborers; A. o. Wal
ton, white laborer; one unknown man.
The injured are; Tom Sampson. col
ored laborer; William Dalton, white
foreman, who was in charge of the gang
of workmen So far it is not certainly
known whether these are all of the
victims, and it is feared that other bod
les will be found in the debris when it
Is removed. The quarry is operated by
the Virginia iron, coal and coke com
pany. The explosion occurred on d bluff
projecting over the track Of the Nor
folk and Western railway company, and
the whole mass Of earth and stone was
precipitated upon it, A wrecking car
and force of about 100 men have
been sent by the railroad authorities to
the scene to clear the track, and the
