rIaiI Spilled.

Mr.. Hewitt A. Hartman, the popular
mail carrier ON Rural Route No. 3,
had a thrilling experience on the lat
ter half of his circuit Thursday af-
ternoon.
The veteran employee of Uncle Sam
stopped i'll a woods near Greensburg
on his way home in the afternoon to
feed his horse and while the horse
was eating woodmen working nearby
felled a tree. This frightened the
horse and he started to run at a rapid
gait. Mr.. Hartman, who was stand
ing at the side of the wagon between
the wheels, was dragged along blythe
runaway horse.
After the horse had dragged the
partly demolished wagon and the
veteran driver almost "a hundred
yards, running over stumps and
around trees, the workmen in the
woods at last stopped it.
The mail which had not been de-
liyered and which Hartman had gath
cred along the route was scattered in
all directions. Mr.. Hartman escaped
injury, but was badly Jared by being
iolted over the rough ground.
The wagon was almost completely
demolished.
Mr.. Hartman gathered the scattered
mail and walked home-a distance of

says q storm area, which will have
t~raversed the country from west to
east, during the closing days Of
February, will be central over At
lantic Coast regions on the LIST and
End. The higher barometer and
sharp change to colder following these
storms will rapidly shbside ON the
approach of the 9Th and from the 9th
to 18th decided storm conditions will
return. Within As hours of 5 O'Clock
p. m. on the 18th 10 N should be sur.
prised by the appearance Of tropical
storms, with possible hurricane to the
south. with counterpart Of a great
boreal storm Of rain, wind and snow
from the northwest. The full moon
ON the celes<al equator on the 9Th
and the day following is a time to
be prudentlv watched by all whose
interests and safety are liable to be
jeopardized by dangerous storms on
sea and l-nd. Lighting and thun-
der will visit most sections during
the first stages of these perturbations,
but a blizzard Of no mean proper
tions will likely come ont of the
northwest on and touching the 9th
and 18th. Watch and sect
From the 9th to the 18th is a regu-
lar storm period exactly at the time
when an annual crisis is to be expect
ed in the earth's electrical and mag
netic currents. From about ssthe 9th
to 18th, abnormal electric phenom-
enas such as auroras, electric winds
charging objects on the earth's sur
face with electricity, earth currents
disturbing telegraphic instruments,
thunder storms and volcanic and seis-
mic disturbances. OF course, storms
of rain, wind and snow-this time
with destructive sleet added-will be
natural at this time. Expect many
very decided storms and other hap
penings of peculiar but not necessari-
ly dangerous character.
The 18th TO 18th will constitute a
reactionary time of storm and gener-
ally unsettled and unpleasant weather.
The greatest storm diagram to be
from the 10Th to 10Th. A look at the
storm chart shows that Jupiter, Earth,
Venus, Mercury, Vulcan and Moon,
all combine their perturbing forces at
this time. The moon will be new
and in perigree ON Wednesday the 20
tn, within a few hours Of its passage
over the equator on the 10Th and of
the Suns passage of the equator on
the 2lst. Heavy rain and thunder
storms with possible tornadoes, will
visit many interior sections and snow,
sleet and blizzard will wind up the
general turmoil in northwestern
central and northern narts of the
country. The last storm period runs
from 26 to Goth. March closes fair
and cool.
As to general outlook for the spring
and summer we believe that a suffi-
cheney of rainfall will visit almost
the entire country during the spring
months. The Venus equinox falling
in April this year, we figure that tor
nadoes and heavy wind and hail storms
will be most frequent and severe in
that month. Drouth will visit many
interior and Western States during
the summer. We believe as before
predicted, that the Pacific Coast re-
gions will have more rainfall and that
mountainous section fronting the At
lantic Coast will have disastrous
clnudbursts and local floods.

Shortening the Road.

A large camp of Baltimore q Ohio
civil engineers is located at Magno-
liza. 1t is understood the corps is
surveying for another cutoff be-
tween Magnolia and the west end of
Doe Gully. The proposed cutoff
will shorten the distance between the
two points from four to five miles
and make a more gradual grade than
the one now approaching Doe Gully.
The Baltimore 81 Ohio railroad COM
pany is shortening its route wherever
it is practical to do SO. One of the
most expensive cut-otfs along the line
the Patterson's Creek Pinto cutoff.
is the one being made near Mt. Airy
on the First division. This cutoff
extends from Reels Mill to New
port, a distance of about thirteen
miles.
The new route runs around the
mountain some distance to one side
of Mt. Airy and by the use of a tun-
mel Will cut Mt. Airy out entirely.
Several other smaller stations between
the two above named points will be
left off the Baltimore & Ohio line
when the work is completed. The
company is also doing some extern
sive work between Washington juno

is being made at Calico rocks from
the Metropolitan branch to the old

To Drill Oil Wells.

A company that has doomed into
prominence recently by the activity
of its members is the West Virginia
Oil and Gas Corporation. with prin-
cipal office at Martinsburg. The
company, which is composed of local
business men, was organized for the
purpose of acquiring and leasing
lands in the oil fields of West Virgin
ia, with the intention of drilling and
developing the land for oil and gas.
The following officers of the COM
pany have recently been elected
Alexander Parks, President L. w.
Robinson, Vice President John T.
Nadenbousch. Treasurer: James w.
Noll. Field Manager; VIM. Clement
Leonard, Secretary. Directors, Alex
ander Parks, L. w. Robinson, John
I. Nadenbousch, James w. Noll, VIM.
Clement Leonard.
The company has already leased
e~ighty-five acres of land in the great
oil fields Of Wood county and have
VII l3iAS VII rtNEh nuilDItl more acres.
The authorized capital of the com
pany is $50, 900, but as o as S25. 600
is subscribed they will commence
drilling six wells on their land, which
will likely be done in the spring
They expect to drill as rapidly as pos
sibple, this spring, six oil wells on
their lease. and have had their Field
Manager, James Noll, visit the lease,
examine it and mark the location of
the wells. This has been done to
their complete satisfaction and they
feel confident of striking some good
producing wells.
The funds arising from the sale of
the stock will be placed in the COM
pany's depository, the Merchants and
Farmers Bank, and will be used ex-
clusively in the drilling of oil and
gas wells and the expenses connected
thereto.
As oon as the company get started
in the oil fields in the western part
of the state they expect, if they are
successful, to use some of the profits
in drilling for oil in this county.
There are those who adhere TO the
belief that oil exists in Berkeley
county and if the new oil SPECTATORS
are successful in the already prolific
oil fields of the state, hat long-dis-
putted question will be settled by
drilling deep into the places where oil
is believed to exist in this county.

influence. Truth mentions that up to

authority, in the roots OF the tropical
