ASLEEP OUT OF DOORS.
Wind Storm Comes Along and Plays
Queer Game in Preston County.

A story which seems almost i'm
possible, but is vouched for by re-
sponsible authority, comes from
Preston county, where a severe wind
and hail storm did serious damage
last week Trees were literally
stripped of their foliage, and grow
ing crops destroyed by hail. But
the most remarkable occurrence was
at the home of Charles Cczad, near
Tunnelton. He and his family were
asleep in their home when the wind
struck the house. 1t lifted the
whole structure, except the lower
floor, from its foundation, and car
RED the walls and roof up into the
air, depositing the house right side
up and complete except for the
floor, nearly hundred yards away.
The family. whose slumbers were
disturbed by the noise, awoke to
find themselves sleeping in the open
air, the house having been literally
blown from over their heads. Not
one of them was injured.

THE DOG WAS MAD.
Test Made at Johns Hopkins
Makes it Certain.
j. c. Bayles who was Bitten by ii HAS
Gone There for Treatment Rabbit
Dies From Hydrophobia- Bayles will
be There for Three Weeks or Mere
He Is Somewhat Nervous.

J, G. Bayles has left for Johns Hop
kins where he will take the treatment
for hydrophebia. A letter received
by DR.. Page A. Gibbons last night is
responsible for the move. Ii has been
definitely discovered that the dog
which bit Bayles five weeks ago was
mad
Bayles was walking down the rail-
road when dog slipped up behind
him and bit him before the animals
actions had caused any COMMENT.
The dog was followed and killed It's
head was at once forwarded to Johns
Hopkins and tests were made on rab-
bits and COW TO ascertain whether
or not it was mad.
The letter which has been received
states that one of the rabbits has died
from well defined case Of rabies but
that the cow is still unaffected. The
manner in which the virus bad TO be
prepared has prevented It's action from
being as prompt as usual.
1t is by no means certain that the
rabies may not yet develop IN the cow
but the test Of the rabbit has shown
that there is a chance that Bayles
may be infected.
He will be there for three weeks or
more and will take the course which
will prevent the malady from develop
ing ia him. He is somewhat uneasy
over the matter and may we'll be but
the advancement that science has
made along these lines give ample as
surance that he will come out of tht
danger without serious results.
Bayles left on the afternoon train

UNIVERSITY STUDENT
G.. r.. Whitman Writes Thesis Which
Sells a Large Block of Coal Lands.

WHEELING, Sept 4.-Except in a
small way, there is little coal mined
within the limits of Ohio county.
The Riehland aud Elm Grove are
about the only mines running to
speak of. That the county is un-
derlaid with fine coal is realized,
and it accounts for the deal now on
foot to sell big block of it to Penn
sylyania capitalists. The deal has
been hanging fire for months, but
the public in general does not know
Of the classified seams, and former
Ohio county boy, George r. Whit
ham, now of the West Virginia UNI
versity, in preparing his graduating
thesis for next years commence
ment, has taken for his theme, "The
Geology of Ohio County" noting at
length the coal formation at the
Smith oil test well at West Liberty,
put down and still undergoing ex-
animation by the She. Greek Oil
and Gas Company. Mr. Whitman
finds that the strata passed through
in drilling the Smith well showed
the coal layers to have obtained an
unusual development. The most
impairment of these Goals are the
Pittsburg and the Lower Freeport
veins. The Pittsburg vein is we'll
known in this county, for tits mined
on Short creek, along the river front
and out Wheeling creek as far as
Elm Grove. The Lower Freeport,
Steubenville shaft coal has thick
ness of 6 feet at the Smith we'll,
while the main Lower Freeport seam
reaches thickness of 10 feet AS
this seam is 4 feet at Steubepville,
81 feet at Brilliant, and 6 to 9 feet
at Rush Run, Mr. Whitman says
that tho 10 feet depth at West LIB
erty is no surprise. 1t is Z feet at
the Central Glass Works well at
Wheeling.
Continuing, Mr.. Whitman shows
that the Freeport seam contains bet.
ter coal at the Smith we'll than the
average Steubenville shaft produces,
and coal that is we'll within the
limits of coking coal. He holds that
further investigation should be en-
couraged. His paper is valuable
one.
