N, {. & ST. |. WANTS $4,000
Sues Southern Railway and 9th
erS For Damages.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. Jan IA. =
The Nashville, Chattanooga and st.
Louis railway, through Brown & Spur
lock, attorneys for the road, began
suit in the Circuit Court this morning
to recover $50, 900 from the Southern
railway, the Memphis & Chattanooga
railway, Yandell Bros. & Co., and
w. j. Oliver & Co. because of dam
age done to the Nashville railroad
bridge across Chattanooga creek, al
legged to have been caused by the ex-
plosion which blew portion of Look
out mountain on the bridge. 1t will
be remembered that just as the explos-
ion of dynamite occurred Southern
railway freight train was passing over
the bridge when it crashed through
the bridge, leaving the locomotive
suspended to portion of the struct-
ure. The accident resulted in the
death and injury of several men.
Some have advanced the theory that
the conclusion from the explosion was
responsi BILE for the giving away of the
bridge, while others assert that flying
rocks smashed the supports of the
bridge and allowed the train to fall to
the ground.
The hearing of. the suit will be most
interesting, and these theories will
probably be aired to tie fullest extent.

Vance Creek left Saturday for Whit
well. He expects to go to Alabama to
work.
John Coburn, formerly of Whitwell,
is here, and is a member of the county
court.
s. M. Henry is very busy at his
blacksmith shop, and has lots of work
on his hands. He reports an unusual
lot of work, forging and sharpening
mattocks, which is good sign, as it
means corn next fall instead of sassa-
fras sprouts.
o. L. Burnett, of Knoxville, was
here Saturday.
T. j. Sullivan expects to have the
Times appear again about the Goth,

practical printer, Mr.. Phelps, of Nc
Minnville, to get out his sheet for him,
which will be 6-col. folio, using
ready print for while. He has pur-
chased brand new job press of excel
lent make, and has large quantity of
new job type and material. He is put
ting up new building for the accom-
modation of the plant, which will be
moved into later. Sullivan is hust
Ter, and deserves success, and the people
should rally to his support.
Mr.. Hunt, the pleasant bookkeeper
for the Dunlap Milling Co., took in
the presentation of the great drama,
"Ben Hur," in Chattanooga Friday
night.
The Dunlap mines still remain shut
down, awaiting a settlement of the
affairs of the Southern Steel Co.
A strong effort is being made to have
them settled by Feb. 1, after which
one or more of the plants will be reop-
ened for business, but whether the
mines here will be the first to be reop-
ened is problematical If the Chatta-
nooga furnace owned by the company
is started into blast. the mines will be
set in operation here at once, and the
coke ovens set to burning.
The Dunlap Milling Co. reports a
good business with orders coming by
the hundred barrels. This is one of
the best plants of the valley and is
managed by Judge Carpenter on sound
business methods. 1t makes a very
high grade of flour and meal, which
finds ready market among consumers
who desire best grades of -four.
