FIRE AT WAYNEsDURG.-Last We'd
nesduy night the people of Waynesburg
lay down to sleep, as they thought in
perfect safety. About midnight a storm
arose, accompanied by heavy thunder
and sharp lightning. One very loud
peal of thunder was heard, preceded by
oinding flash of lightnlng. Soon the
tef5iole cry of fire" rurg out on the
tnldn2ht air. People sprang from their
peds In terror, and looked out, to see a
nuSe volume of tlame rolling up against
the sky. Rushing out, they found the
stable attached to the Hamilton House
had been struck With lightning and sci
on fire. When discovered, the tlamps
had made too much Roadway for the
the building TO be saved, and the only
thing TO be done was to save the ed.
Joining buildings. Fortunately the rain
was falling almost in torrents, which.
aided by the men with buckets, pre-.
vented the fire from spreading. Two
or three horses were in the stable, one
of which was severely burned; the rest
were rescued. There was some hay
and grain stored, which was consumed.
No insurance.

that Spain would reply energeticaliy to the Off

THE GREAT VIRGINIA DIAMOND. The New
York Post speaks thus lightly of the wonder
tul Virginia diamond, which we believe is own
ed and held in Lynchburg, partly by "a late
eminent Radical orator.
Cleopatra took her pearl in vinegar but
the enormous twenLy.four carat Virginia dia-
mond, that is now going the rounds OF the
press, is to be taken with grain of salt This
diamond is an old acquaintance, and its
interesting history appears once in ten years 10
all the papers Here is the story: Early in
the history of Virginia, when Powhatan was
territorial governor, and John Smith and
his followers were carpet baggers, a Mr.. Rowe
picked up stone, the size of hens egg, to
throw at rabbit. The stone attracted Rowe $
attention, and he put it in his pocket, to the
great relief OF the rabbit. Thereafter tho curl
Gus pebble was kept as an heir-loo in the
family, and was chiefly remarkable from the
fact that it had never been thrown at rabbit
Rowe's grand children began to consider it q
diamond. Their children called it diamond.
1t derives fresh interest this summer from the
statement that a dozen or more heirs propose
to divide it, or the million or more dollars
which the stone found on the banks of the
Shenandoah in 1920 will probably bring in
