CLAY EATING
Is Quite Fad Among the Children ON
Madison Creek-Cabell County
Authorities Take n Hand


Huntingont, w. Va, June 15.-The
county authorities were yesterday
called upon by the people on Madison
creek to aid the family of Jacob Mil
lar. The overseer of the poor of that
district in investigating the case as
certained that the children We're con-
firmed clay eaters and that it was
from the effects of their peculiar APP
petite that they were suffering.
Though the bows were twelve and
fourteen years of age, they had in
dulged IN this peculiar habit for years
and would wake up in the night and
extract clay from between the cracks
of their log hut to eat. Their pro-
pensity for the stuff has attracted at
tention from the entire section. The
skin of the children has assumed
clay-like color and a physician who
was today called in to see them,
states that the boys are suffering from
an affection of the kidneys, brought
on by the habit. He also says that
dropsy has appeared and that there
is no hope of saving them. 1t is said
that the parents of the children We're
clay eaters in their early days and
have never attempted to stop their
offsprings from the habit.

UNION STATION AT WINCHESTER.


Managemenf.
That West Winchester will be ma
terially affected by the action Of the
Pennsylvaia Railroad. says the Star, in
virtually acquiring control Of the
Baltimore & Ohio road is a contin-
gency which the near future will de-
| termine. Changes Of Importance are
contemplated which will affect large
industrial and speculative interests in
the West End and may bring about a
local revolution in commercial circles
of the now thriving business section
A leading business man said that he
had learned that the Cumberland Val
ley and the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
roads would have union station in
Winchester which would be located
on or near the site of the present b. e.
O. station. The Cumberland Valley
which has always been n part of the
Pennsylvania road has virtually come
in possession of the b. & o. the two
stations here could be thrown into
one and operated at much less expense
than the two roads have now.
For long timespast, connection
between the two roads here has been
in contemplation and survey made
recently provided for connecting
track TO run from one road TO the
other near the Fair Ground This
was to have beenHdone long ago to
save delay and expense in transferr-
ing freight from one road to the
other
1t will be seen that if a union de-
pot and station is established in East
Winchester, where the B. q O. sta
tion is at present, it will be seri-
GUS blow to the business interests of
the western section of the city
OF course this change will not be
consumated tomorrow nor yet next
week. The new management of the
B. q O. is yet too young, and they
have other matters of much greater
importance on hand to claim their
attention now to undertake this work,
but in the near future the change not
ed above will take place.
1t is stated on the highest authority
that among the plans which the new
B. q o. have in contemplation is the
extension of the road to Roanoke and
from thence TO the Gulf States over
the Seaboard Air Line. The Penn
sylvania road is on friendly terms
with the Southern road, and the plan
is to have straight route from New
York to New Orleans. The route
would be over the Cumberland Valley
road TO Winchester. thence over the
b. d o. to sthe Southern at Straus-
burg, back to the B. q DAT Harrison
burg to Lexington, thence over the
new road to Roanoke, where the Sea-
bord Air Line would be taken direct
to New Orleans.

TRANSFER WILL BE MADE HERE
story That Il. & q. and Cum berIand Val
ley VIII Connect Here for Pennsyl
vania Confirmed by a Vice
President.

There is excellent authority and al
most positive assurance that the fol-
lowing taken from the Philadelphia
Times is correct and authentic.
AS result of the absorption of the
Baltimore & Ohio road by the Penn
sylvana it is likely that the traffic
agreement between the Baltimore q
Ohio and the Western Maryland and
the Reading roads, by which freight
from western points is transferred at
Cherry Run. Md, to the Western
Maryland and delivered by that road
to the Reading at Shippensburg for
transmission to New York and points
in Pennsylvania, is likely to be
abrogated When the agreement is
cancelled Baltimore e Ohio freight
for New York will be delivered to
the Cumberland Valley Road at Ma
tinsburg, and VIII by that road be
hauled over 10 the Pennsylvania at
Harrisburg.
The Western Maryland and Read
ing get hundreds of thousands of
tons of freight every year from the
Baltimore q Ohio
The Reading built fine line from
Valley to Shippensburg. called the
Philadelphia, Harrisburg g. Pittsburg
Railroad, just to reach the Western
Maryland Road, and connect with it
for Cherry Run. The traffic is so
heavy that the Reading has contem-
plated doubletracking the line from
Harrisburg to Shippensburg That
project will probably be abandoned.
A vice president of the Pennsylvania
said Monday:
In view of the present relations OF
the Baltimore u Ohio and the Penn
sylvania it is but natural to suppose
that in time the B. d o. freight from
the west for New York will be sent
east from Martinsburg via the Cum
berland Valley and Pennsylvania in
stead of from Cherry Run over the
Western Maryland and Reading. That
will be the logical course of events.
When the change will be made can
not say, but it will come. The pre-
sent traffic agreement between the b.
& o. and the Reading can be termin-
ated at any time simply by notice OF
cancellation, as no term of years is
fixed. We have not yet taken up the
matter in Philadelphia. The change
must originate with President Loree,
of the b. & o, The Cumberland Val
ley Road is firstclass line, fully NJ
to the Pennsylvania standard and cal
handle easilv all the traffic the Baltl
more a Ohio can turn over to it.

COAL WILL GO UP.

A Baltimore coal dealer said of the
anthracite market: ON July /, the
retail price Of coal will be increased
25 cents a ton in Baltimore and on
Septebmer / another increase of 25
cents will be made. We understand
that the wholesale price will be
raised 10 cents a month until that
time, and perhaps during several sue
ceeding months, We would be glad to
continue the old prices, but are forced
to raise them.

PRESIDENT LOREE.
How He Won his spurs on Construction
and Thereby Gained His Promotion.

and Thereby Gained His Promotion.
1t is not generally known that Pres
ident L. f. Loree, of the Baltimore d
Ohio, formerly general manager Of
the. Pennsylvania lines. won his spurs
of emergencies occasioned by storms.
When he was superintendent of one
of thessmall lines of the Southwest
system the Little Miami division was
completely, washed out by II terrific
rainstorm at Zenia, o, and Mr.. Loree
was placed III charge of construction.
He had an army of men and they
worked night and day, and the work
performed under his supervision was
highly creditable. Soon after that he
was made superintendent OF the
Cleveland Pittsburg division, and
while holding that position the great
Johnstown flood of May 81, 1889,
completely obilterated the Pennsyl-
yania tracks for many miles and also
DESTROYED part of the West Penn
tracks and three of its bridges. When
all was confusion and the greatest
railroad in the world ended at Min
even, the superintendents, trainmas-
tiers, Supervisors and wreckmasters of
the Pennsylvania lines west of Pitts
burg, were summond to the front to
begin the work of reconstruction and
they brought with them vast army
of men and many trains loaded with
timber, derricks, ropes and tackle of
various kinds.
L. +. Loree was assigned TO the
reconstruction of the West Penn. and
began his work at the bridge just
east of the tunnel Bow, where the
Conemaugh river makes long
sweeping bend. The bridge had been
WASHED out, and while the river was
q rushing torrent Mr.. Loree. with
his assistants, placed bents in the
channel, erected a temporary trestle
work and pushed on toward Bolivar,
rebuilding the road as they moved
ahead, and performed prodigious
feats. The tunnel at the first bridge
is curved, and it was necessary to
have the engine do all the work hoist
ing and dragging while in the dark
and workmen with lanterns signaled to
the engineer, one at the east end of
the tunnel and the other at the curve.
Mr.. Loree took the best of care of
the men, and said afterward that like
the great French General Davoust he
belived that a good commissary de-
partment was the making of an army.
lie had good cooks always busy
making hot biscuits and hot coffee,
and he did not hesitate TO provide
stimulants for the men who were wet
and weary. Relays We're sent out oc-
cassionally so as TO permit the worn
ont men to go to the camp cars for
refreshments and rest, and warm
clothing was provided.
Under such arrangements Loree s
army or reconstructionists performed
wonders which attracted the attention
of the higher officers of the Pennsyl-
vania, and when the time came to
make promotions the young superin-
tendent who had shown so much
marked ability was not overlooked

SEN. ELkINS ON CUBA.
says Republic WIN he Launched BY the
First Of January.

Washington, d. 9. June l7.-Senator
EIkins, one of the pillars Of the adj
ministration. in speaking Of the fu-
| ture of Cuba. said:
1.-THE president and the members Of
This cabinet are very much gratified
by the adoption Of the Platt amend.
ment by the Cuban constitutional
convention. The president has felt
confident all along that Its gratifica-
ion would be accomplished when the
Cubans realized that this government
was firm in its attitude regarding the
amendment and that its acceptance
was necessary before the United
States ldfconsent TO withdraw its
supervision from the island.
Now that the Cubans have demon
strated their belief in the good faith
of the United States | expect that a
fairly speedy evacuation Of the island
will follow, contingent only, however,
upon the establishment Of stable
government in the island =
Senator Eklins predicts that the
organization of the republic of Cuba
will be an accomplished fact by the
first of next January.
In speaking of the next step in order
for the Cubans TO take, Senator Ell
kins continued by saying
Nov that the Platt amendment
has been accepted by the constitution
al convention. it is for that body to
take up and pass an electoral bill
which will provide FOR the election OF
all the officers necessary to set up an
independent government in Cuba.
II understand such bill is already
framed and is ready for submission
to the convention at any moment.
The electoral act must be published
under the terms, so / understand it,
of the military order converting the
constitutional convention itself and
of the terms of the convention itself,
a period of ninety days must be allow
ed for publication before the necessary
election can be had.
This will place the elections at
the earliest moment at a date some
where in the latter part of September.
So that it will be possible in the
period between that date and the first
of January to inaugurate the new
officers and set up a government.
lit appears to me that it will be
necessary to maintain some United
States troops IN Cuba even after that
date, and until the Cubans have had
time themselves to set up Cuban
military force. but the length of this
stay will in my opinion depend to
a great extent upon the wishes of the
Cubans themselves.
1.-The Cubans will not be in any
haste to have the United Statestroops |
leave the island, as in that case it
would be practically unprotected, and |
of their own.
Il have been informed that the |
war department made contracts last |
winter for the supply of the United |
States troops in Cuba with necessaries
for period of one year, and it is
likely that these contracts VIII be car
ried out.
General Wood will continue as
governor general of Cuba until civil
officers are elected and sworn in. "
As soon as the iudgeship question is
settled, Senator Elkins accompanied |
by his family, will leave for their
home in West Virginia.
