six miles between Pomeroy and Col

SPEND 100000
AT KANAUGA-k. TRACKS TO Be
RAISED q FEET.

The K. s NJ. has let the contract
for raising the approach to the Ka-
nauga bridge to John B. Lindsey and
work will soon be commenced. It
is proposed to raise the track 90 feet
above the Hooking Valley, which will
be crossed on trestle. and will be
run along the hills back of the H.
v. track to point near the school
house on Georges creek, where
depot will be built. With this inn
proyement it is thought one engine
can do the work now required oftwo.
In connection with this improvement
the railroad has made several pur-
chases of land containing valuable
gravel beds in that vicinity. Emmett
Lyle has sold the railroad go acres
of his farm without with his residence
for $4,000 which is three times as much
as he paid for the whole farm of 60
acres, Joe Trickler has received
sl4oo for less than three acres and
the Gilmore sisters of Point Pleasant
$500 for 4 acres. Mad Ramsey got
approximately s9soo for 5 acres, part
of which was settlement of a suit
against the company. Extensive
work is to be done all along the line
changing grades and curves, placing
new passing tracks which will almost
be double track from Corning to
the river. The Offices of the X. &
NJ, will be moved from Columbus to
Charleston.

COL. COOPER
PARDONED BY GOV. PGTTERSON-SO SON
WILL BE RETIRED.

Nashville, Tenn, April 1s-While
the supreme court of Tennessee to-
day was confirming the conviction of
Colonel Duncan B. Cooper for the
Staying, on November ., 1908, in a
Nashville street, of former United
States Senator f. W. Carmack, Gov
ernor Patterson wrote full pardon
for the defendant, declaring that in
his belief Colonel Cooper was not
guilty. The supreme court remand
ed for retrial the case of Robin Cooper,
convicted of the some crime as his
father.
The situation is tense tonight, be-
cause of allegations by friends of Car
mack that politics entered into the
case. 1t is probable that Robin
Cooper will never be retired, it is
said. Both Coopers had been SEN
fenced to go years Imprisonment.
The court was divided both in con-
frming the sentence of Colonel
Cooper and in remanding the case of
his son. 1t was while Chief Justice
Beard was reading a dissenting opin-
ion in the case of Colonel Cooper,
that Governor Malcolm R. Patterson
pardoned the defendant, declaring in
the document:
Being thoroughly familiar with
the record, having read all the testi-
mony and testified to certain facts
within my personal knowledge, it is
neither desirable nor necessary to
delay action. In my opinion, neither
of the defendants is guilty and they
have not had fair and impartial
trial, but were convicted contrary to
the law and evidence.
The proof showed that Robin
Cooper killed the deceased and that
Colonel Cooper did not FIRE shot.
Without reflection upon the court,
it is inconceivable in my mind, and
repugnant to every principle of JUS
tice, that a man should be found
guilty of murder who was not in a
conspiracy to kill, and when in fact
he did not kill"
Colonel Cooper was still at the
capitol when the pardon was entered
in the secretary ofstate's Office. He
was at once surrounded by a crowd
of friends seeking to congratulate
him. The reversal in his sons case
seemed to please him to the exclusion
of his own freedom.

BOILER EXPLODES
ONEDEAD AND THREE OTHERS FATALLY
SCALDED WHEN BROILERLET GO.

Madison, Boone County was the
scene of horrible accident last Fri
day morning, when the saw mill
boiler, owned and operated by Ex-
Sheriff Jas. McDermitt exploded.
Thornton and McDermott, well
known Coal river lumbermen, had
just erected new mill and started
operation Friday morning, their first
work being to cut hickory rail for the
extension of their tram way tracks in
to the timberland. Although the
boiler had been tested previous to the
or operation Friday,
some defect in connection with the
arrangement of the steam generating
apparatus caused a boiler explosion
which completely wrecked the plant.
The big boiler was severed in the
middle. The half containing the FIRE
box was thrown two hundred feet back
ward, while the front half was buried
twenty feet. where it lodged against
a rock.
Wyatt Larue, a block setter, was
thrown sixty feet, and both legs were
broken.
He was so horribly scalded that the
skin fell from every part Of his body,
and he died in two hours after the
accident:
Gordon Fitzwater, formerly of Mil
ton, was thrown for great distance,
and was also SO badly scalded that his
life is despaired of.
R. L. Gibbeat, the fireman, who
was standing at the rear of the en-
gine, was thrown fifty feet and landed
in the branches of an elm tree. He
was taken down unconscious and may
die.
The most peculiar experience, and
at the same time the least harmful.
was that which befel Harry Chandler
"of-bearer.''
Chandler was te5 feet in the rear
of the boiler when the explosion oc-
cured. He was thrown into the bed
of the creek fifty feet from where he
was standing when the shock came,
and when he regained consciousness
was sitting in the sandy bottom of
the small stream, in six inches of
water, unhurt except being slightly
scalded, and numbed by the shock
of the explosion.
Of the six men around the mill
when the explosion came, two who
were standing nearer than some of
those who were injured escape un-
hurt, except that their eyes and
cheeks were slightly scalded by the
rebouud of the steam.
