A DELUGE OF RAIN IN
CITY OF LYNCHBURG
In Twenty -Four Hours the Precip1-
tation Was 7.1S Inches-Armory
& Damaged.

LYNCHBURG. VA, October 6.-(Spe-
cial. }-From noon Saturday to noon Sun
day, the fall of rain was 718 inches, tho
heaviest known here in the record OF the
Weather Bureau. It rained seemingly
without cessation, the only variation being
that one hour the fall would seem to be
heavier than the one preceding. Still. it
came down steadily, and the thirsty earth
drank it up so greedily that it made only
a slight rise Of four and half feet in the
river by noon Sunday, which, however,
soon subsidized. BlackWater Creek kept on
a boom for several hours. and Fishing
Creek was out of its banks and lacked
only twelve inches of being as high as it
was in August, 1901. The lands overflowed
were principally truck gardens, and were
planted with satisfy, lettuce, celery, and
other fall vegetables. whilst there were
also of thousand of cabbage plants, which
were much injured by the overflow. The
cotton mill was uninjured, although the
lower dam was slightly damages

VERDICT NOT ovERRULED.


The courtroom of the Corporation
Court was crowded yesterday morning
When Ernest Davis was brc> hit in to
hear the argument of his counsSA Joseph
X. Pollard, the colored lawyer, in be-
half of having the verdict of murder IN
that it was contrary to law and evidence.
commemorative -Attorney Page made an
able argument in sustaining the YER
dict, contending that Daviss case had
been fairly and impartally trieo.
Pollard. counsel for Davis, said. in
Davis is not innocent, cannot catch
the significance of that portion of the
testimony which is indignantly denied.
He admits he licked the blood from the
knife, but there is no evidence that Davis
inflicted that wound with generalization
and malice"
Judge Ingram overruled the notion to
set. aside the verdict. He said he had
listened carefully to the argument in the
case and had given the trial his closest
attention during its progress. The law
in this case was embodied In the in
structions to the jury.
The jury, he. said. we're the proper
fact, said the Judge. If was not salts
fed as to the testimony my disposition
would be to set aside the verdict. The
responsibility is at last with me, but it
is a responsibility that I must measure
up to in the interest, of the Common
will override the motion.
Then Pollard asked for new trial
on the ground of after-discovered evil
dence. He produced an affidavit signed
by W. J. Langhorne. Of 1904 Decatur
street, which states that Hilton was the
man who did the cutting.
Judge Ingram continued that motion
until this morning.

A SOLDIERS FOE

Knocked Down by Unsuspected Enemy.
 Coffee so affects the brain and nerves that proper nutrition is interfered with and the final ending is frequently ner- vOus prostration.
 During the Spanish-American war I went with my troop to Chickamauga, says Lienut. J. G. Talbot of Spring field, Ills. "If there is any one place on earth where one drinks more coffee than another it is in the army. It is a soldiers back bone, and I can assure you that I drank my share. After sev- eral months of hard drilling my health gave out, the chief cause being coffee, bad food, over-exertion and heat.
 On the advice of the surgeon, I ten- dered my resignation and with my heart full of regret and my nervous system shattered I returned home Almost the first thing the doctor whom I con- suited advised me was to quit coffee. That was the first intimation had that coffee had anything to do with my con- dition. The next thing was what shall l drink?'
 My wife's mother used your Postum Food Coffee and knew how to make it right, so tried it and grew very fond of it. My nervous trouble soon left; my old time health came back, and that Fall gained so in flesh that the boys on returning after muster out hardly knew me, Quitting coffee and using Postum did wonders for me-"

AN ANIMATED MEETING.
PRESIDENT RAYMOND'S REPLY TO PROF. ATFATER'S CRITICS

TeIIa the Methodist Ministers That the
 Question of Alcohol as Food is for
 Scientists, Not CIeEgymen, to Settle
 Not True That MiddIetown Students
 Are Intemperats.
 New York, Dec. S.-President B. P. Ray mond of Wesleyan university came to this city to-day in defense of Professor W. o. AtYater and the students of that institu- tion, against whom charges had been made by several Methodist elergymeD. He ap- peared at the regular weekly meeting ot Methodist preachers to deny, he said, the unjust charges that intemoerance was on the increase among the students Of the COnencticut university, and that PrO1essor Atwater, in calling alcohol food in re- cent report made to the government, was unfit to be a professor in Methodist in- Stitute of learning,
 At recent meeting several ministers rOundly censured the professor, the student body, and indirectly President Raymond himself The reverend doctor came down from Middletown thoroughly incensed, and those who saw him before the meeting de- scribed him as being ''tilled with righteous indignation"
 No PREFERRED PROFESSORS. First of all, Dr. Raymond declared that no letters were put upon Wesleyan profes- sOrs to prevent them from scientific lnYeS- tigatiOns. Then he told how the agricul- turaI department at Washington has re- | uuested Professor Atwater to make several | experiments with foodstuffs and submit a report, and how In that report it was sug- | gested that there was considerable nourlSh- ment in alcohol.
 ..The contention in the natter" declared Dr. Raymond, ''is that the question: should 1 be left for scientists and not clergymen to settle. There are several aspects of the | question which have not been settled, ana | If Dr. Atwater is able to throw any light ! on the subject, he should be allowed to do 1 so."
 At this point the speaker, in defense of | pr. AtWaters theory, asked the assembled
 ministers some pointed questions ln physloi-
 ogy. He contended that alcohol certainly did 1 have some food properties.
 l STUDENTS NOT INTEMPERATE. l Speaking for the students of Wesleyan, | Dr, Raymond stamped any reports that in- | temperance was on the increase among them | as false. He expressed surprise that such | repOrts should have emanated from a Methodist preachers meeting, and especial 1 ly that they should have come from, New 0rk city, where the ministers had always | been particularly friendly to Wesleyan. After the meeting Dr. Raymond was sur rounded by a host of friends, who declared that he was justified in the stand he had | taken. In speaking of the incident he said :: People are so easily misunderstood! Why, in the meeting to-day one elderly brother altogether misunderstood me, and asked me if l thought all foods were poison.'
