Will Build Second Largest Ell
evator on River
Makes Purchase of 100 Feet From
Paducab Furniture Company
for Triple.
WILL DO EXTENSIVE BUSINESS.

I'D. H. Murphy, architect for the
company, was here last week and
drew the plans for the finest and lar
gest coal elevator in the United
States" said James d. O'Donnell,
manager for the Plttsburg Coal COM
pany today. "Tne largest elevator at
present is the O'Donnell elevator in
Louisville, which has a capacity Of
1000 bushels an hour, but the one to
be built here will have a capacity of
5000 bushels an hour Fifty-four
wagons can be headed at the same
time from this elevator and we will
handle coal by rail as well as by wa
ter. OF course the machinery win be
the latest to make that record and
several entirely new features in hand
ling coal will be added in screening
and grading. Mr.. Murphy will re-
turn this week and bids will be call
ed for Immediately. Our facilities will
be such that we could supply the en-
tire demand of Paducah If we had
the business, and we expect to have
the elevator ready for fall. Wagons
can be loaded as fast as they can
drive under the chutes.
Invasion of the river coal business
by the Pittsburg Coal company in
the local trade is now certain with
the actual purchase of that
the local trade seems probable with
the contemplated purchase by that
company of ground from the Padu-
cab Furniture company on the river
front. A deal was closed with the
company for a strip of ground
$50 feet wide extending from Third
street to the river front. across the
Furniture company grounds
In the year or so the Pittsburg
Coal company has been in business in
Paducah, little more than the city
trade has been sought or sold The
present facilities, while large enough |
to handle the city business. would not

ness of the boats, and the acquisition
of the additional river front with the
opening on Third street would place |
the company in position to handle
all business that could be secured.
The business being sought by this
move is the supplying of boats with
coal for fuel. AT present the river
business is supplied almost solely by
the West Kentucky Coal company and
the st. Bernard Coal company.
II is understood that the plan is to
build a tipple on the new purchase
This tipple could take up the coal
from the barges and unload it at the
top Of the wharf, into wagons for
city trade. The present docks and
uoats at the foot of Washington
street could be used for supplying
the river trade.
The Pittsburg Coal company owns
numerous boats and many hundreds
of barges and their entrance into the
local river trade will mean several
more towboats In the local harbor to
handle the business.

out Of the right hand window In the
wall OF the sepuIcher shoot flames of
fire, and In an instant every one Of the
thousands has produced candle and

mystic fire. The light thus taken from
the holy sepulcher is instantly carried
to all the Christian villages round

Toy weapons, again, are older than

In the tombs Of the ancient Egyptians,
along with painted dolls having NOV

leather covered balls, classic balls and

knights Of the needle, who vowed to-
oppose the performance by might and

Menacing letters were sent to Dow
