HON. MoRG. THOMAS DEAD.

George Morgan Thomas, So years
old, well-known lawyer and promi-
nent in Kentucky politics, died at
Vanceburg. He was the father-in-
law of former Congressman S. ].
Pugh. If the NEWS is correct in its
history Mr.. Thomas once visited
Louisa as candidate for Congress
on the Republican ticket He was
of the old Radical" type of poll
ticians, and the triangular fight be-
tween him and John d. Young Dem
ocrat, and Thomas NJ Green, In
dependent, was very bitter one,
The three candidates INDUCED in
rather warm personalities which fl
nally grew SO pointed that mutual
friends prevailed upon them to let
up on that line of argument" 1t
was very common thing those
days for Congress to refuse to al
low a Democrat to be seated, If his
opponent filed a notice of contest,
and this fact caused Mr.. Green to
ask his audience, when the rival
candidates spoke in the old court
house in Louisa if it would not be,
better to elect him than to elect
Young. who would not be permitted
to take his seat, or to be misrepre-
sented by Morgan Thomas. In hat
same debate then was also much,
talk about cracking the whip"over
somebody's shoulders, also shak-
ing of fists in each other faces, but,
no blows were struck and the can
didates amicably ate supper to-
gether Peace to their ashes.

A meteor PASSES
over This CITY
The Event Occurred EARLY Monday Night
and Was Seen by Many.

On Monday evening last Mr.. Al.
bert Murray, of this city, reported
TO the NEWS that about dark thai
day he saw brilliant metor pass
over this place, going in straight
line from east to west and disap-
pearing below the western horizon
As it neared the hills the light from
the meteor zigzaged considerably, OF
as Mr.. Murray expressed it, assum-
ed the shape of worm fence. Sew
eral boys who were playing football
near the stock pens also saw the un-
usual visitor and heard the noise
made by it in its flight.
huntington papers, some of them,
are nothing if not sensational. The
meteor was seen by boys playing
near 'hanted" house in the east
end OF the city. The youngsters were
naturally somewhat frightened by
the rather uncommon occurrence an
told OF IL to some "oldest inhabi-
tants,' who ''recoliected" about a
murdered man, buried treasure, love
ly graves and various orher spooKy
lhings. This was enough for starC
er, and on the following morning a
weird story appeared in the press,
based upon the meteoric display OF
the previous evening.
II may be of interest to recall that
in March, 1875, an aerolite passed
over Fayette-co. in westerly direo-
ton. 1t emitted no light, but its
rush through the air was heard by
many persons, as also its explosion
a few seconds later.
Another aerolite fell in November,
1872, the rush and bursting being
heard by hundreds. Sometimes after
an obseryant squirrel hunter in
Meade-co, located fragment, weigh
ing several hundred pounds. Tho
broken branches and saplings in
dieated the line of its direction 70
The earth. A suit between the find
er and landholder followed, but al
ter its adjustment, the stone was
purchased at snug figure for the
Institute.

cidental flight Monday evening the
blazing stone passed adzactly over
the ghostly spot where, 4S years
ago, come next June, three men
were hung without the Intervention
Of judge or jury. If the boys who
saw our meteor had known this
fact, what hair-raising,
Dlood-curdling stories they might
lave told!

WRECK ON MAIN LINE.

The lower span OF the c. and o,
bridge over the Little Sandy river
just below Greenup gave away Sum
day afternoon and us a result the
G. and o. traffic is badly dlsarrang-
ed. Fortunately no lives were lost.
The financial loss, however, is very
heavy. as not only did the bridge
span give way, but eight cars of
,eastbound freight fell into the riv-
er.
= The damage was caused by seven
cars being derailed on the bridge,
which caused one end of the west
span OF the bridge to tear loose fror
the abutment.

c. & 0. R. R. WANTS
NORTHERN Ohio OUTLET
Report That This Great System is
Arranging to Build More Line.

Far number of years 1t has beel
known here That the Chesapeake and
Ohio railway company wanted an
outlet Tor its northwestern traffic up
through Ohio It has been reported,
at various times, that the road want
ed the bed OF the old canal for an
independent line to Columbus.
In order to get this outlet the
CSC. would be compelled to bridge
the Ohio and various locations for
the bridge have been ggested,Iron-.
ton, Ashland, Huntington and Ports
mouth have all wanted 1t, 1t is now
definitely stated that the road has
picked on bridge site at Scioto--
vile, just east OF Portsmouth. The
new bridge, it is said, will be start
ed within year.
The c. & O.. SO it is said, has
two projects under considerations One
is TO build line from Sciotoyille
To connect with the c, Ii. q d. at
Jackson or Wellston. The other is
to run its road up the Scioto valley
TO this city, where it will either con
meet with the G. H. & D. or the line
may be extended direct to Colum-
bus for a northwestern outlet.
In connection with the statement
from Columbus, recently published
in this paper that two stretches of
the old Ohio and Erie canal are to
be sold, 1t would seem as if the
Scioto valley route might be the one
especially as it is a well known fact
tha tthe c. & o. has had its eye on
the valley route for the past 10 or
10 years.
The two pieces of the canal to be
sold were reported TO be stretch
from the southern corporation line,
of this city to Higby's and a second
stretch at Wharton, a few miles
north of Portsmouth The papers
in the case are understood to be now
in the Attorney Generals office.
The coming of the C. & o. by eth
er route, will mean another trunk
line for this city. This would put
Chillicothe on the line of three great
systems, the c. & o., the N. G. w.
and the B. & o. The c. H. & d.
is, of course, controlled by the lat
ter, The coming of the c. and o.
would certainly mean an increase of
business and prosperity for Chilli
cothe.

new CURRENCY Law
RESTORES CONFIDENCE
Enthusiastic Reception Given to this
Important Law by Business Men.

Since the passage Of the banking
and currency law much opposition
has been dissolved and transformed
into approval OF its provisions, and
where denunciation was heard three
months ago its revised form. has
brought forth encomlums.
The iiercest opposition and the
most persistent was that engendered
by the Federal control provision, and
those who approved and those who
opposed that provision equally rec
ognize the great change which that
will bring to the financial system Of
the United States
The uniformity of discount rates,
as well as the certainty of redis-
counts in times of need, as guaran-
teed by the new system, places the
smaller banks upon an even footing
with the largest and most powerful
ones, gives them the same oppor
tunities, affords them the same re-
lief, entities them to the fairest and
fullest consideration.
There are some features of the
passing away system that it is use
less to discuss or to criticize, but
all classes of bankers are fully a
ware of the advantages that the
great banks of the money centers
held under that system as compared
with the bankers of the districts out
side of those centers.
With Federal control will come
public confidence, public knowledge
of official financial action, public
support in all that is fair, right and
proper; and where amendments are
required the public demand will
cause them to be made.
The half century which has elaps-
ed since the national banking sys-
tenn was established has demonstrate
ed to the people of the United States
the advantage of nationwide uni
form financial system combines in
very marked degree the experience
of the past 80 years as gathered
from financial practice, and the
growing public sentiment for gov
ernmental control of facilities and
utilities largely affecting the inter-
ests OF the masses of the people.
At the same time that the finan-
ciers of this country open their eyes
10 the benefits of the new legisla-
tion and unloose their tongues to
sound its praises and extol its ad-
vantages, those of London, Paris and
Berlin hail it with great satisfaction,
hoping that the financial ease It
Will produce in the United States
will enable American bankers to pei
NIT the strained and pressed Eu-
ropean bankers to retain still long
er the credits TO the United states
upon their books.
The fear OF our country's demand
for the huge export balances of the
United States is hanging over fl
nancial Europe now like the sword !
OF Damocles, and it hopes our new
law viii give it respite sufficient
in time to enable it TO get two or
three hundred millions of dollars
worth of new gold dug out of the
mines,so as TO bolster up their weak
and insufficient interna-
,ional money system.
The United States to-day, in con-
iitions financial, industrial and COM
nercial, is far better off than any
'ther nation of the world. Cincin-
