Henry S. Walkers Removal.

We take it, from an announcement
in the Charleston State Tribune of
last week, that the Hon. Henry
Walker, OF that place, has finally con-
cluded upon removing his residence
from this State. and taking up his
abode on farm recently purchased
in the State of Virginia. If this be
SO, our State will lose an active, in
tluential and enterprising citizen,
and one whose loss will be felt. The
paragraph to which we refer is as
follows:
Onlast Sabbath, Hon. is. Walker
and family left on the east bound
train for the new purchase in Virginia.
The Waterman says: "The J. W.
Weaver farm, in Shenandoah county,
containing 432 acres was sold recen.
tly and bought by Mrs. E L. Walk
er, Of Charleston, West Virginia, for
$4,000 The price paid was extremely
low, but the cash payment of Sl4,-

Lines From an Old Prayer Book.


Lord teach US how to pray" Those who
thus asked
Were Christ's Apostles, chosen to pro-
claim
His Gospel through the world, and to teach
mankind,
Yet cen they felt the need Of aid in prayer,
And sought to know from him who best
could teach
How they should pray acceptable: For He
Had borne mans sorows, feelingly was
touched
With mans infrmities, and knew his
wants;
But He too, knew as God, how man should
Present the prryer that would as incense
rise,
And be like sacrifice of old, ordained.
The instruction asked was given, twas q
form
o: words appointed, when ye pray say
thus"
But not by precept only did Christ teach;
On that dread night when in the gardens
gloom
His fathers face was hidden, and the wrath
OF Gods offended justice, was on him
Poured, as the appointed victim, and the
sins
or all mankind, from Adam on him laid,
Bowed down his soul in anguish, till he
Sweat
Great drops OF blood, )" and sorrowing unto
death,
His human nature sank beneath the weight
OF mans transgression- in that hour
When thrice in agony he prayed, his prayer
Was the same words repeated.
Christian, with precept and example thus
OF Christ, and his Apostles, and his Church
To teach thee how to pray, heed not the
scott
That Forms of prayer are formal" Pray
ers once used
BY martyrs and coniessors, and by those
Now with the Just made perfect, from the
heart
May sure be uttered, and acceptance find
When offered through the merits, in the
name
OF Him who taught His followers, when
they prayed "Say thus"

West virginia,s Coal Industry.

There are in West Virginia twen-
ty.eight counties in which bitumin.
Gus coal is mined. The number of
bituminous collieries in the State is
given as 1913 with maximum capacity
OF yearly production amounting to
4,ll6,4S5 tons. The output of all the
small operations in the State where
coal is mined in small quantities for
local consumption amounts to 1925
tons. This small mining is anala-
gous to the cutting of wood for do.
nestle fuel, and is not counted in
making up the product of the min
ing industry.-Grafton Sentinel.

 Yesterday afternoon Mir. Benjamin Levi, proprietor of the second hand clothing store 137 State street. was sitting in front of his store when stranger came across the street and entered the store, having a four bar reled pistol in his hand Mr. Lewis daugh- ters Clara and Esther were in the rear part of the house, and noticing the stranger. called to their father. Mir. Levi then stepped inside and the stranger accosted him. asking him if he wanted to buy pistol. Mir. Levi asked if it was loaded. The man said it was not. Mir. Levi still regarded the weapon with air of distrust, and the stranger, to prove his assertions. produced piece of wire and rammed it down one of the barrels. An explosion followed, a cartridge being dis charged and the ball passed through Mir.
 Lewis left hand. Mir. Levi was dumbfound- ed, and the stranger seeing what had hap pened, retreated and rapidly disappeared
 MT. Lewis daughters rushed in, and seeing the blood streaming, were overcome and shouted for help. The stranger dropped the pistol in his flight and the girls saw him rush rapidly down State street and turn into East Water street and disappear out of sight. Surgeon Bissell was called and dressed the
 wound. The bullet had gone through the
 hand and shattered the bones badly, possibly disabling it. Mir. Levi was much prostrated for time, but was feeling more comfortably last evening. The stranger is described a we'll dressed man of medium size and middle age. He wore @ Derby hat and dark fall overcoat. The circumstances indicate that l the shooting was accidental. The pistol, which is now at the police office, is of the Sharp's patent. All four barrels were loaded

Double Track of the New York and New
 Eng nd Road.

England Road.
 The work of double tracking tho New York and New England railroad is proceed ing quietly, but regularly, and it will not be & very great while before two tracks will ex- tend the entire distance between Hartford and Boston. over which the bulk of the business of the road is carried. From Bos- ton to Hartford is IF miles. The Boston Transcript says:
 At the Boston end there are twenty y-eight miles of double track, extending to Franklin, and at the Hartford end there are four miles, In addition to these thirty-two miles there are seven miles of siding, which is equivalent to so much double track, and will form DOT tions of the second track when it Is complet ed. The siding, of course, does not include the numerous pieces of turnout and yard track. An order has also been issued for the immediate building of twelve moro miles of siding between the two termini, which will increase the length of double track to fifty one miles, leaving but sixty six miles of the single line out of IF. Between Putnam and Willimantic there is very little work to be done on the roadbed and when the order is given to double track the whole distance (and the matter is already in con- templation) the two places can be united by double line within six months time. West of WiIimantic there are six or seven miles where the work will be heavy; the rest will bs easy. There would seem to be no reason to doubt that within A year or eighteen months double tracks will connect Boston and Hartford. The extension of facilities has been necesstated by the constant increase of traffic which is from thirty to forty per cent. greater than it was 8 year ago. The New York and New England is the only sim gle track road in the Eastern States doing fiuctuating business. The other roads have their regular traffic, and have had it for years hile the New York and New England is subject to the variations inseparable from new line. This has been the principal cause of the recent accidents to freight trains. These accidents having occurred in quick succession have occasioned some comment
