annual sitting in the Second Branch
Council chamber. The members Of
the bench, officials, and attorneys hav-
ing cases before the Court began TO
arrive in the city yesterday. Judge

Of Weston. and McWhorter, of Charles
ton. have arrived, and when Judge

will be complete. o. S. Long, clerk
of the Court. has also arrived and IS
ready for the opening Of Court. The
Court will open at 10 o'clock a. m,
and will sit daily until Up. m. The
present term Will be somewhat shorter
than usual. as there is less than the
average number of cases on the docket.
Just forty-fye cases are TO be disposed
of.
The first case and the most important
is that of Kennedy vs.. Board of Edu-
cation of Marion county. The plaintiff
is a Roman Catholic and petitions the
Court for a writ of mandamus to COM
pei the board to discontinue the prac-
tica of reading the Bible in the public
schools of Boothyille. Marion county.
The plaintiff has seven children, all of
whom attend the public school at
Boothvlue. Marion county. The faith
er objected to the reading of the Bible,
of the King James version and asked
the Board of Education to grant his
children permission to remain out of
school during the five minutes daily
reading Of the Scriptures. The board
refused and the plaintiff kept his chill
dren out of school until after the Bible
would be read by the teachers each
morning. The children were accord
ingly expelled from the school and the
present petition is the result of the
controversy. Butcher & Raymond are
attorneys for the petitioner, and Mer-
edith and Caldwell for the Board Of
Education.
This case will come up Thursday
and the time until Monday will be
consumed in the usual preliminary mo-
tons. The lawyers will make their
arguments on next Monday. This case
will attract widespread interest, as it
possesses more than ordinary signif-
canoe. as the decision of the Court will
establish a precedent for future con-
troversies of this kind. Among the
lawyers here last night to attend Court
we're Caas. T. Caldwell, Of Parkers-
burg: Basil T. Bowers and Robert Nc
Eldowney. of New Martinsville.

Mckinley and Hanna Disagree.

New York, July 2G.-The Journals
Washington special says: For the first
time since President McKinley's in
auguration there has occurred a seri-
Gus breach with Senator Hanna. The
cause of the disagreement was prcsi-
dent Mckinlcy's stubborn persistency
in sending in the currency commission
message after he had been warned
against this course by number of Re-
publicnns In the Senate and House, and
after he had been requested by Mr..
llama to withheld such message until
the next session. All those who ad-
viscd the President against sending in
the message before the end of the extra
session realized the awkward position
1t would place the Republicans in. and
knew there could he no good result ex-
pectcd from such course. Several
prominent Republicans called upon Mr..
Mckinley Tuesday and explained to
him the difficulties that lay in the way
of considering the currency commits
sion message this session. and Mr..
Hanna communicated his desires in
the matter in fashion not to be mis-
understood. That night 1t was under.
stood by all on the inside in regard to
administration matters that the mes
sage would be withheld.

STRIKE SITUATION.
INJUNCTION AGAINST DEss.
At Fairmount the Men Refuse to DO Out
and tho Agitators Leavo-Conference
Of Labor Leaders-The Meeting ut
Wheeling Will Be Largely Attended.

Canonsburg, Pa, July 26.-Every-
thing is quiet at the mine of Cook 4
Sons this evening. The mine was run
ming to-day, but very little coal was
brought out. The strikers made but
little effort to induce the men to re-
main out today. The strikers cannot
safely trespass on the compnny's prop
erty, and the miners who are working
keep so close to the mine that the strik-
ers cannot reach them. About 100
strikers from Miller's Run arrived at
the camp at IL late hour this afternoon
by way of P;um Run aud Houston
willie. About forty more came through
here this evening from Bishop. They
brought large quantity of provisions
to the camp. A wagon loaded with pro-
visions from Finleyville passed
through here to-day en- route to the
camp. About 100 strikers returned
home this evening. A number of small
boys whose fathers are encaInped at
McGovern, made a canvass OF the
town to secure supplies to-day. They
secured quite large quantity of food.
The injunction against the miners
officials and Others, obtained last
Thursday, was made permanent to-
day.
Fairmont. w. Va. July ga meet
England but none was held because
only twenty-three miners gathered.
The injunction issued by Special Judge
Mason to-day seems to have put an end
to the strike here. With all the leaders
at Wheeling the men say there Is notlf-
ing left for them to do but to go to
work. Fully 100 men took this step at
Nononagh to-day, which with eighty
men imported from the Connelsvillc re-
gion. makes $50 men at work there.
The injunction issued to-day has not
vet been served and the operators
think this step will be unnecessary. 1t
is said many miners want-to 20 back
to work and that that step will be TAX
en- tomorrow. ~

ing, not expecting to return. All de
pends upon the action of the executive

tor Camden said saturday night that
he wanted 10 see 1t rain all day Sunday
to keep the enthusiasm down, but the
boiling sun of yesterday had the same
effect rs the men who work under
ground cannot stand the heat. As far
rs Fairmont district Is concerned the
strike Is failure.

EVOLUTION IN MECHANICS.
Remarkable siown.s ~ with which I'm.
provements Are R.ce,v.d

When railroads We're first started in
England the carriages for personal
transportation We're constructed by
making long body frame, mounted
upon trucks. and placing on 1t three
stage coach bodies, nil being well bolt
ed together. The travelling public was
thus given accommodations which. in
interior arrangements ut least, resem.
bled very closely those to which they
had been accustomed, and after some
demurring, the new order of things
was gradually accepted. As the art
OF car building progressed, however,
1t was soon found much better to CON
struct the whole affair as one piece of
work, but the influence of custom was
30 strong that the British railway car
riage Is still built on the stage coach
model, and 1t Is to this cause rather
than to any other that the compart.
nlent system owes Its being. Although
the carriage Is practically built as one
vehicle, 1t Is ornamented on the out
side by mouldings, curved to follow.
the old lines OF the stage coach body,
and even when these mouldings are
omitted in the lower class carriages,
curved stripes of paint are put on to
tell the story of the evolution of the
car from the coach.

speaking On tho cut In bicycles, says:
This cut in tho price Of 500 wheels has

fixed on CIo'cents would become tho

A deposit of most remarkable mud
discovered in Indiana, has of recent
years been attracting widespread at
tentit !. 1t is located at the Indiana
Mineral Springs. Warren county, and
has been formed by the action of the
water from the famous Magno-Lithia
springs. Through countless ages the
foliage OF magnificent oaks on the hill
side has annually fallen into basin.
and has been reduced by nature into
q pure black earth unmixed with roots,
stones or sand. The water from the
big spring for thousands of years has
been soaking this deposit and saturat-
Ing 1t with mineral salts, until now
there is layer of medicated mud
about two acres in extent and from
ten to twenty feet in thickness.
The strange medicinal value Of this
peculiar, black. porous substance was
accidentally discovered by an old SOL
der, Sam Story. who had brought
rheumatism home from the war and
suffered with 1t for years. He was at
tempting to dig drainage ditch
through the mud deposit. and after in
dulging in this useless experiment for
q week or more. gave up the idea, but
meanwhile had been cured OF his rheu-
matism.
The fame of the mud began to spread
and afflicted congregated at the Springs
from everywhere. The method of US
ing the mud was at first very primi-
tive, the patient merely sitting down
in the deposit where nature had laid
1t. But since then improvements have
been made, beautiful hotel erected,
and the mud bath developed into a
luxurious experience. The accompany
ing cut shows how it's done.
