Lawn Boyd, a single man of some 35 years of age, died at Newland on the Gifford road last Monday night after a few days illness. He had been employed on the 1 Gifford railroad, we understand, and so far as learned left no relatives. Esq. Troxell tied the nuptial knot for John H. Thornton of this city, age 58, and Maryv Goble of Fair Oaks, age 21, lasi Monday. This is the groom’s fourth marriage and the bride’s second.

The Chicago, Covington & Southern which was incorporated a week ago, is said to be a certainty. The road is to be built from Chicago through Kentland, West Lebanon and Covington, and enter the coal fields below the last named place. The plan is to have the road enter Chicago by way of Hammond. It will cross the Big Four at between Raub and Earl Park, and the Lake Erie & Western near Boswell.

They have the mill fitted up with complete wood-working machinery and at odd moments tuin out jobs that, while hardly in their line, show a proficiency in the wood-workers’ art unequaled outside the larger cities, V While in their shop a few days ago we were shown a very handsome side-board that they had made for E. L Hollingsworth, the veneering of which was birdseye maple. It was a fine piece of work and would grace any dining room. A couple of fine quartersawed oak secretaries were also standing in the shop. Just now they are turning out some washing machines, which may not be as ornamental furniture as that previously mentioned, but are considered about as useful in most well regulated families. While drilling on the Stoner farm, the workmen struck some gas which rushed forth with a mighty roar. The drillers had built a temporary shanty around the machine and a stove, not very far from the hole, was giving forth warmth to the workmen. As the gas rushed forth it was ignited by the fire in the stove and a merry time they had in that particular locality fora time. Mr. Flugel, one of the drillers, had one side of his face quite badly scorched and one side of the shanty was burned out, with some tlafnage to the machine. The rising oil in the pipe finally “choked off” the gas and the fire died within itself, v By the by, the Federal Oil and Asphaltum Co. has had three sets of men and machines at work in sections 28, 32 and 33 most all winter and they are putting down at present six wells a week, very few of them dry. As one oil man expressed it, “give us a market and we will furnish the oil.” There has been more or less activity all over the field during the winter months and with the opening of spring some new developments may be expected.—Medaryville Advertiser.
