RATHER
THE LARGEST EVER SEEN
IN THE STATE.
Scared Passengers into a Panic
BY Jumping Through a
Moving Car Window.

HORTON, w. VA, July 18.-
Passengers on the north bound
train of the Dry Fork Railway
yesterday had one of the most ex-
citing experiences ever occurring
in the history of mountain rail-
reading in this part of the state.
As the train was slowly making it's
way around q curve near an almost
precipitious mountain side at
Cars camp, between Harmon and
Hendricks, a huge rattlesnake
Ieaped through window into the
coach, almost Frightening the
women and children in the train to
death, while the men were about
equally anxious to secure places of
safety.
The train WAS stopped and Con-
ductor Nicholson, assisted by men,
bers of his Grew, and some of the
less panic-strioken passengers, dis
patched the reptile, which measur-
ed ID feet in length and % inches
in circumference and had 80 rat
ties. It is supposed that the snake
was coiled against the mountain
and angered by the passing train
sprang at it. landing through the
window more by accident than
otherwise. -Four of the women
have not yet recovered from the
fright, and fears that some of them
may not are entertained by the
physici ans in attendance. Much
discussion is going on among the
mon as to the disposition that will
be made of the skin and rattles of
the reptile.

A Big Industry.

1t don't seem to be generally
known, but nevertheless it is a
fact, the Mountain State Brick
and Tile Works of Point Pleasant,
is the biggest industry we have in
town, The company employs a
large number of men and boys
and teams, and its payroll amounts
to several hundred dollars weekly.
The output of hliok at these
works is from 10000 TO $4,000 per
day, besides hunG. eds of feet of
drain and sewer tile. The output
finds a ready sale. In fact the de-
mand upon them in this regard, is
greater than the company can sup
ply. No better building brick OF
tile is made anywhere in the
United States, than right here in
Point Pleasant.

Lawyers WIN Reat.

Lawyers throughout the state
are forming rest clubs, whose car
dinal principle is one month's
vacation in August. In many
towns the idea has taken firm hold
and there will be no use for any
litigant to try to start fuss in any
of these communities. The law
yers' idea is sensible one and we
commend it's wisdom. 1t is too
hot to work at anything in the
sizzling month of August and the
business of having in that period
is especially nerve-raoking and
temper destroying. 1t is meet
that the lawyers and their clients
should have rest one month in
the year. We only hope the rest
club would become popular in
other business and professions and
especially would we hail it with
JOY in the fourth estate, the news
paper business, which goes OH
865 days in the Wheeling
News.
