PLANS
Sse, 900, Aeeepted-Addftion for
Incurables.

There is to be an addition to the
West Virginia Home for Incurables
and that addition will probably give
that Institution sufficient room to ac-
comodate a large nun Der of the
patients that have been committed to
the place but never received. The
plans for the addition will be drawn
by Architect Harrison Albright Of
Charleston one of the foremost archi-
tects IN the State. The building as a
matter of course will be erected at
Huntington where the main Insult g
is located. Mr.. Albrights' plans for
the epiletic asylum which Will cost
$50, 900 and his plans for the home for
feeble minded and IDIOTS which is TO
cost $50, 600 have been accepted. The
bids for these buildings will be open
ed on the second of October.

CHURCH SPLIT THREATENED.
Washington Preachar Took Hat and


Winchester, Va, Aug 2l "A splii
is threatened in the John Mann Me.
thodist EpiscopalChurch over an Incl.
dent which occurred there on Sunday
night during service. The pastor,
Rev. Joseph Wheeler, was absent, and
Rev W. @. Mullean, of Washington,
ID. g. occupied the pulpit.
At certain point IN the sermon
the minister punetuated the discourse
with song After one of these vocal
interpretations, the minister suddenly
stopped. and one of the stewards,
thinking he had ended the sermon,
started to take up the collection. just
then Rev Mullen resumed the thread
of his narrative, and took the steward
to task for interruptiDg the services.
A brief but pointed argument fol-
lowed, which ended in the preacher
taking his hat and leaving the church.
A minister present dismissed the con-
gregation. The board of stewards
had the matter before it at its meet
ing, but the result is not known. Part
o. the congregation side with the
invited minister, and part with the
watchful steward.

THE QUARANTINE RAISED.
THE SMALLPOX IN THE QUARAN-
TINED HOUSE rs WIPED OUT.
The Guards Taken Away Yesterday and
ths Uniucky Thirteen Occupants
ofths House Permitted to GO
Free some Facts About


The quarantine on the smallpox pest
house at the eastern edge OF town
tths old fireman property was rails
ed Tuesday and the unluckv Tia irteen
inmates of the house are again free
TO go whore they please.
Every since July the Board of
Health has had the house quarantined
aud guards with shot guns watched
carefully that not one of the inmates
escaped
When the disease was discovered in
the house by the Board OF Health
there were thirteen persons in the
house. Some OF them were visitors,
but each and everyone was held under
quarantine.
Out of the thirteen in the house
eleven contracted the disease.
Before the quarantine was raised
the house and premises We're thor
oughly disinfected with fur barrels
OF disintecting fluid. The last one
of the patients became well fourteen
days ago. but the health authorities
waited until yesterday to raise the
quarantine in order to make sure that
there was no danger of the disease be-
ing carried elsewhere.
Some of the patients suffered more
severely than others.
1t depended almost entirely upon
the length of time they had been
vaccinated and the effect the vaccina-
tion had upon them. Those who had
beenvaocinate in recent years had the
disease in d mild form, while other
occupants of the house who had
been vacicnated until the disease was
discovered ia the house had II in
more serious form. The two occu-
pants Of ths house who did not con.
'tfart she disenSe were vaccinated In
Charles Town during the recent eri-
demic there and were vaccinated again
by DIR. Myers, when the disease was
discovered in the house. In nut
SHELF, said DR.. Myers, = the type OF
the disease among the occupants Of
the house was according to the way
N which they were protected BY vaccI-

Admiral Sohley's counsel Informed
Hackett that he was going to Boston,
where the alleged interview was pub.
lished. TO investigate for himself IFS
authenticity and that the Department
had better delay its action in the mat
ter until his return.
Admiral Schley, how ever. in reply
to an inquiry Of the Department, ex-
pressed his desire that the communi-
cation be forwarded to Admiral How
ison without delay. After considering
the matter IN conference with officials
from the Navy Department, Mr. Haze
ket gave his adverse reply.
What action the counsel of Admiral
Schiey Will now take in the matter
remains TO be seen. The right of
challenge will still be open to them,
but il is said to be the custom for the
members of the Court themselves to
inquire into the reasons of chal
lenge ofany of its members and deter.
mine as TO the right of the challeng-
ed member to sit on the Court
The fact that Admiral Howison has
already declared to the Navy Depart
ment that he has not publicly COM
menced on the controversy leads TO
the belief that the Board Will take no
action in the matter and that Admiral
Howison will sit as member Of the
Court throughout Its session.
