Dredging at the Locks,

The towboat Gregory arrived at
the Louisa wharf Sunday, having as
a tow a United States dredge boat
to be used at the Tug and Levisa
locks. Tho work necessary to be
done at Saltpeter and Chapman IS
considerable and will require three
or four months for its competition
Several hundred thousand yards OF
dirt are to be removed before the
approaches to the locks are finished,
The dredge scoops up the dirt and
loads 1t upon barges. When loaded
they are towed by the boat to the
proper place and the dirt dumped.
The Gregory is 1856 feet long and
draws feet. 1t is manned by a
crew of 16 officers and men These,
with addition of about four other
men, making a force numbering
30 men, will be engaged in the work
The boat and the dredge had been

Railroad Extension.

A railroad extension being built
by the Louisville and Nashville sys-
tenn, is being rapidly driven to-
ward the undeveloped coal fields
of Eastern Kentucky. The Lexing-
ton and Eastern extnesion from
Jackson to Whitesburg Letcher
county, will soon be an accom-
plished fact, a large force being en-
gagged on this undertaking in the
mountain counties This piece Of
railroad construction presents prob
ably the most difficult engineering
task ever undertaken in Kentucky.
The Letcher county coal fields are
practically a continuation Of the Har
Ian couny seamts,as the same veins
are found, in the same thicknesses.
In the region to be trayersed by
the Lexington & Eastern extension
available coal acreages are at a
premium. Long since the most
choices coal lands have been acquir-
ed. Those holding territory will
soon begin arrangements for active
developments and a flood of money
VIII be turned loose in industrial
undertakings,
Last year Kentucky made the as
tonishing gain of 100000 tons in
coal production, the output of this
resource OF nature being approx.
mately 10000 900 tons. as compared
with a little over lO,0O0,OO0 tons
the year preceding. This places the
State but 100000 tons behind Ala,
bama, which leads Southern State;
in coal production.
AT the rate at which production
is increasing, due to the new de-
velopments in the eastern end OF
the state, the ensuing year ought
to place Kentucky well in the from
in Southern coal production, and al
the State contains the largest areG
Of coal deposits in the country, out
side Illinois, and as activity is great
er IN placing this in touch with de
yelopment forces, the time is moi
far distant when the State will take
front rank in output of coal.

the appearance of company known
as The orpheans, consisting OF
four gentlemen, each an artist in
his line. They are musicians
of high rank, vocally and instru-
mentally, and the programme offer
ed by them is one of the most at
traetiYe ever listened to by Lou
lsa audience. The instrumental mu--
Sic 's produced by cornet, mello,
phone, baritone and trombone, a
rare and delightful combination. II
makes a well balanced quartet, pro-
dueing a richness of tone unexcelI-
ed Vocally the club has a first
tenor second tenor, baritone and
bass. They have an extensive rem
ertoiFe of vocal music and present
a beautiful selection of solos. duets
trios and quartets.
But this is not all. One Of the
club is a clever impersonator and
another is a splendid cartoonist and,
chalk artist. Here is certainly va.
riety enough to please the most ex-
acting.

BIDS ON dam
In Ohio River. Near Ashland, TO be
Opened Feb. 10th.

The supervising engineer for i'm
provements on the Ohio river, OF
Cincinnati, has announced that the
bids for the construction of dam
No. 20, at Clyffeside Park will be
opened on the goth OF February,
and should any Of the bids submitt-
ed be satisfactory the contract will
be awarded at that time.
1t is claimed that the competition
in such work has become rather
sharp in recent years and that it
is very rare thing that there is a
failure for the contract to be let
on some Of the bids offered, hence
it IS confidently expected that be-
tween now and the LIST of March the
award will be made and not later
than the first of April the work will
begin,
At about the same time the inn
proyement work on the dam across
the mouth Of the Big Sandy river,
the contract for which was awarded
early in last November, will begin.
possibly earlier.
Surely there is every prospect
that things are to put on rather an
active phase here during the COM
ing summer.

union OF METHODISTS.
Meeting Of Delegates Representing
Three Branches.

Cincinnati, o., Jan, 2O.-Although
the nine church leaders bishops
and laymen, who are meeting at
the sinton Hotel, to devise plan
for tle union OF the three great
branches OF the Methodist church all
pledged themselves to secrecy as
TO the details of their deliberations,
1t became known on Thursday
that there are two special subjects
on which the differences of opinion
have arisen among them. They had
expected to adjourn by noon on
Thursday, but that hour found them
still in session and was serious
question whether they would be able
70 reach an adjournment by night.
iall The two main points on which
they differ are;
The question whether the union
OF thu three great Methodist branch
%, involving millions of church folk,
shall be consolidation or merely
federation Both plans have their
advocates and there was discussion
Just how far the federation, If
chat plan were recommended, should
extend.
The second question was how
great should be the authority of the
general conference of the merged
