Kentucky district, today when he
arrived from the canal zone on the

that the canal will be ready for

THE rainy season will retard the
work. One thing l did not like was
that of the 10000 persons on the
canal pay roll, only 5000 of them
are Americans, and as contemplate
ed the carloads of American money
contributed by American taxpayers

ness the rich fields of the Elkhorn.
But diamonds and coke sink into
comparative worthlessness when II

you might say. But we must not
keep you in suspense. Read this;

Miss ROzstts Blackburn.

In one short week the family Of
Columbus Blackburn has suffered a
double bereavement. The first to
answer the summons was Mrs.
Blackburn and on the day Of her
funeral her daughter, Rozette, aged
II years, was stricken with appen-
dicitis and she died on last We'd
nesday at 6 D. m, one week later.
Miss Blackburn was taken to the
hospital at Louisa to undergo an
operation. DR.. VIM. York accompan-
led her and assisted the hospital
physicians, but the disease had adj
vanced to such a stage that nothing
could be done for her.
Miss Blackburn had lived in Will
Hanson nearly all her life and was
popular among a large circle of
friends. The body was taken on
Thursday to the old home OF the
family on Pond Creek, where the
funeral services were Mingo

Various predictions are made as

The charge delivered by Judge
Hannah to this body Of inquisitors
was very comprehensive, and was
given with his usual force and clear
ness. The Judge knows what the
common law and the statutes de-
fclare to be offenses, and If the
grand jury heeds his charge they
can not err in their important and
responsible work.
The forenoon was occupied by the
formation OF the jury and the charge

An Important Dam.

Relative to the proposed dam
across the Ohio river between Cat
lettsburg and Ashland the Washing
ton correspondent of the Courier
Journal has the following:
I'm addition to the navigation of
the Ohio river, it is important that
this dam be constructed at as early
date as possible, because of the i'm
provement of the Big Sandy river,
to which the Government has com
mitted itself and has already ex-
pended upon it exceeding 1000, 900
in the construction of five locks and
dams. These dams upon the Big
Sandy for greater portion Of the
year are only useful for local traf-
fic, because the first dam in the
Big Sandy is at least three-quarters
of a mile from the juncture of said
river with the Ohio river. and when
the Ohio river it at low tide the
space between the Ohio river cam
not be navigated.
The completion of lock and dam
No. 20 would render the improve
ments on the Big Sandy useful the
entire year and the construction OF
two more. locks and dams on Tug
and Leyisa forks on the Big Sandy
will bring that Improvement In
touch with the immense coal fields

With one accord the city physi-

scarcely conceivable in a civilized

Condition Of the Jail.

A former jailer of Lawrence coun-
ty was heard to say on the streets
of this city recently that in his opin-
ion any man confined in the Law
renee county Jail could sue and re-
cover damages from the county for
such confinement, This was said
not in any way reflecting upon the
manner in which it is kept. but re-
ferring altogether to the building
itself. Such a statement as this,
coming from what is undoubtedly
expert authority, is very significant.
The condition Of its penal institu-
tions should be a matter of much
concern to the county, and this con-
cern should make itself known by
an investigation of that condition.

Heirs to 200 Acres Of Land in Elliott
County.

There died in Elliott county last
week negro named Richard Wat
son. He was quite old, and said to
be the only one of his race in the
county. 1t was further said that
Watson died possessed of valuable
tract of coal and timber land, about
two hundred acres in extent, which
had been given him by former
master, a man named Watson, and
whose name he took. The negro
had lived alone on this land, and 1t
was thought he had no living rela-
tives. Since his death, however, it
has been ascertained that he has
several near relatives in this city,
Nose Burgess and John Wallace be-
ing brothers, and Susan Ann Alli-
son and Add Wallace his sisters.
1t appears that the mother of
these we'll known colored people
was, when she was about thirteen
years old, given by Frederick Moore
to his daughter. Mrs. Mary Wallace.
She grew to womanhood, married,
and became the mother of large
family Some of these we're sold,
and each probably took the name
of his new owner. One boy was
named Dick, and when quite young
he was sold to Watson. He grew
to manhood and was lost to the
sight of his brothers and sisters
here.
The tract of land on which the
former slave lived and died is sit
uated, as before stated, in Elliott
county, on the head of Newcomb
creek, about eight miles from Sandy
Hook 1t is said to contain much
mineral and to be covered with a
fine growth of virgin timber. 1t is
said that Watson's relatives here
will claim the estate Of their dead
brother and will at once proceed to
establish and make good their right
to inherit whatever property he left.
