Shortly after O'Clock he went

He lighted several lamps in the

one of them exploded, hurting the
blazing oil all over the car and
setting everything on fire. Mr., vir-

Before help could be summoned
and the blaze extinguished, the

The Peerless Princess QuaItette.

The Peerless Princess Quartette,
the first offering presented by the
Entertainment Course for the
consideration of our people, made
its debut before a Louisa audience
on Thursday evening last under very
unfavorable conditions. The sale
of single and season tickets had
been large, and in spite of very
unpleasant weather, threatening a
storm which, indeed, did break lat
er on, large and appreeiative au-
dience assembled in Masonic Hall.
Shortly after eight O'Clock. it was
nnounced that the leading soprano
of the qudrtette had entirely lost
her voice and was at that time
under the care of a physician,
and of course would be unable to
appear that evneing. This news
was about as dampening as the rain
which at that time was changing to
hail Mrs. Guy Atkinson, one OF
the managers of the course, made
the announcement, and the lady
looked all the sorrow she evidently
felt at the failure OF the soprano to
be present. She said the other Ia
dies would do what they could tc
entertain the audience or, as they
had no engagement for the follow
ing Monday night they would appeal

those who lived out of town ant

Long Time Between Meets.

Ben Thomas, the well known civil
engineer who has done most of the
work on the locks and dams along
the Big Sandy river, came down
from Louisa this forenoon and left
for Cincinnati this afternoon. The
writer and Ben attended their first
public school together, 1t was in
n little log school house on the
famous Greasy Ridge" in the
upper end of Lawrence county, Ohio,
not more than two hundred yards
from the Gallia county line, in
which the father of the writer own
ed a farm, the father OF Ben, the
late John N. Thoms, of lronton, hay-
ing owned farm on the Lawrence
county side of the line. Ben's faith
er was the teacher and II was
the first school that either OF us
Juveniles ever attended Though
Ben's father did not move to
Ironton to serve as county auditor
to which office he had been elected,
until 1869, the last vivid recollec-
tion we have of Ben and possibly the
time we have seen him was at the
close of the school we attended al
most fifty ears ago. Though he
has grown gray and somewhta ag-
ed, he appears about as young as
he did when we acted ,as
fielders in the old games OF town
ball." long before the game of
base ball had been introduced in
the country. y.-Catlettsburg Tribune,

Elliott County.

Elliott county, our neighbor. has
been favored with some mighty good
free advertising this week. The
following was published editorially
in the Courier-Journal of the Sth.
The article is correct in every par
ticular:
THE information conveyed by an
Eastern Kentucky newspaper that
one of Elliott county's great dia-
mond mines" is to be converted in
to fishpond, recalls the fact that
some years ago the Inhabitants of
that region were considerably ex-
cited over the possibility of Elliott
county becoming second Kimber-
ly. In due time the excitement sub
sided and of late years not much
has been heard of the diamond
mines The news that one OF
them is to be devoted, to the prop
agation of fish will be proyocation
for smile from the general public,
1t may be that Elliott county's
diamond mines have developed in
to a joke rather than into a sub
stantial industry, but Elliott county,
leaving diamonds out Of the ques-
tion, has plenty of resources. II
has deposits of bituminous and can
mel coal; it has oil and asphalt; II
has ores which yield small per
cent Of silver; it is undoubtedly a
county of great mineral wealth; II
may have diamonds, and II It has

or more.
THE principal topographic feat
ure is Pine Mountain, which ex-
tends in an almost straight and
unbroken line for nearly 200 miles,
making a natural as well as State
boundary to the east.
THE field at present is isolat-

/ velopment is possible from two
sources. From the north a line
has been surveyed from the Big
Sandy branch of the Chesapeake
and Ohio up Shelby Creek via Shell
/ by Gap and Elkhorn Greek into
the heart of the property, a dis
tance OF 80 miles of comparatively
easy construction mad normal
grades. From the south line has
been surveyed and is now under
construction from jackson, a pres
ent terminatiqa of the Louisville ant
Nashville Rafi pad, up to the North
Fork OF Kentucky river into this
property. a distance approximately
100 miles With these two exten-
sions constructed the field could be
considered as fully developed, from
