Weimar in 1853, says writer in the
Century. He was talented man and
was esteemed by List as being, in his
way, a good violinist. He belonged to
the class typified by Ole Bull, but did
not achieve so great a reputation. He
remained at Weimar after Brahms left
there, and became Intimately ac-
quainted with him. He was very en-
tertaining and so full of fun that he
would have made a tp-top freshman.

Roanoke, Va, June 23.-The railroad
people say it will be at least five days
before their lines are open for trains.
They have been sending work trains to
the storm stricken district from all

there but no loss of life had been re-
ported up to the time the telegram was
sent. The little town of Vivian. at
which place the railroad yards were
swept away and a passenger train
flooded, is the shipping point of all
west bound coal and coke, and there is
a succession of prosperous mining
towns extending all the way to Poca-

along this portion of the road marks
mining operation. At North Fork juno
ton, seven miles from Vivian, there is
a branch road extending five and one
half miles up the north fork of Elk
horn to several prosperous mining
plants. From Cooper, eleven miles
