COUNTY COURT DAY.

One Of the changes made in the new
Constitution that will be most felt In the
country districts is the adjustment OF
the bounty courts. Court-day mas pc
come an established institution in the
several counties of Virginia. 1t was a
sort of clearinghouse institution II
vas the day for settling accounts, for
swapping horses, for the transaction Oh
business generally between neighbor and
neighbor.
The Farmville Herald suggests that in
nlace of County Court-Day each and
every county should hold monthly far
n,ers' institutes. "Let one Of such days
be known as Fertilizer-Day." says our
contemporary, another as Machinery
Dav. still another as Grass-Day, and SO
on. Designate persons to make talks on
these different subjects and encourage
exhibits of farm products and ma
chinery.'
This is a capital suggestion and the
counties will do we'll to adopt it. we
believe in pubic gatherings. 1t is
good thing for neighbors to come to-
gether once q month and exchange
views. But when they get together
there should be some definite purpose in
view. If the suggestion of the Farm
Vile Herald be adopted the monthly
gatherings in the several counties Will
be of moro benefit than ever.

misfortune In one form or another has

fore a patriotic duty that Democrats
owe the country to get together and
stop their foolishness. It is gratifying,
highly gratifying. to find that TINS opln-5
ion obtains so widely among Democrats
of all shades of opinion.
There is no trouble in bringing the

dissension in the party was brought
about largely by those who are more

DR., Felix Adler has taken up the
plans advocated by the New York
World for the broader usefulness of the
public schools of the city. He says
that it is desirable that the assembly
halls and play grounds should be open
on Sunday for lectures. concerts and
healthful recreation. 1t Is quite GER
tain that we are not making the most of
these public school buildings. They are
open FOR a few hours I'M the day only.'
They should be open very much oftener

BOTH TO BLAME.
Driver and MOtOrman Careless ut
the Road Crossing.

Washington, Sept. 4.-B. +. Barnes,
assistant secretary to the president, has
arrived in Washington. Mr.. Barnes
was with the presidential party at
Pittsheld, being in the second carriage
behind that occupied by the president,
Mr.. Cortelvou and Gov. Crane, at the
time of the accident. Although MIR.
Barnes disclaims any special knowledge
as to all the circumstances of the acct
dent, not shared by many others, yet,
from what he saw and heard on the
spot, he thinks the responsibility for
the accident lies between the driver of
the presidents carriage and the motor
man with the greater burden upon the
latter. The trolley road at that point,
Mr.. Barnes says, ~ straight for some
distance. and the motOrman must have
seen and recognized the president car
riage with its four white horses, some
but instead of stopping or materially
reducing his speed, he came on at a rate
that made it impossible for him to stop
when he saw that collision was immi-
nent. The driver of the president 8
carriage, on the other hand, could
hardly have clear view of the track at
the point of crossing as the outriders
on either side must have obstructed it
to some extent at least.
Among the people who gathered at
the scene of the disaster it was suggest
ed that the driver of the presidents
carriage may have taken greater
chances in crossing the track than he
usually would have taken. He I'M
doubtedly felt his Importance, as the
driver of the presidents landau was re-
ported to have refused 81 900 to allow
another man to take his place for the
day.

FUEL OIL REPORT.
WlNCHELL'S OBSERVATIONS ON
UTILITY OF OIL PUBLISHED.
Mariposa Used Fifty Per Gent. Less
In Weight Than Would Have
Been Required Of Coal. One and
One-Half Pounds OF Oil Suflicing
to Produce a Horse Power.

Washington, Sept. 6.-The report of
Lieut.. Ward Winchell, U. S. ~, the
expert detailed by the navy department
to observe the installation and etticien-
cy of the oil fuel systems as fitted to
the Oceanic Steamship Company $
steamer Mariposa, has been received at
the navy department. The report con-
tains matter of great value to the ship
ping and naval service. and setting out
some facts relative to the use of oil as
fuel which have been earnestly sought
from the navy department by steam
ship men and oil producers. Some of
these facts follow:
"The Mariposa' gross displacement
was $3.50 tons, and her average 354
knots and a mean speed of 1888 knots,
with 27s barrels per day This was so
per cent. less in weight than would be
required of coal, for one and one-half
pounds of oil sufficed to produce horse
power. An important advantage in the
oil fuel was the reduction of the engine
room force from 36 to 90 men. The
ship used only IL of her 10 furnaces
burning crude oil in two burners in
each furnace by means of an air COM
pressor of a capacity of 900 cubic feet
per minute at 30 pounds pressure. All
OF the burners were not used, except at
short intervals.
every precaution was taken to in
sure safety by ventilating the oil tanks
and otherwise. The entire refuse, after
a run of 3,43S miles from San Francisco
to Tahiti, barely filled two ash buckets,
and the flames did not affect the boiler
unfavorably. Difficulties experienced
were confined to the choking of strain.
ers, which can be obviated by duplicat-
ing those parts and in the regulation of
the supply of oil to the feeders. When
the air compressor needed overhauling,
in one or two instances, resource was
had to a steam spray, which had been
provided"
Lieut.. Winchell says that if fewer
men are needed in the fire room with
oil, it is necessary men OF higher intel
ligence, with technical aptitude and
nerve closely to watch the furnaces
The essentials are that there should be
Il constant air pressure for atomizing,
that provision shall be made to main
tain regular temperature OF the oil,
and that the oil strainers shall be
watched steadily
Lieut.. Winchell says that the Mari
posa trip was remarkable in many re-
spects, and was not only tribute to
the skill of the Pacific merchants, but
the enterprise of til. company which
first installed the oil burners in lieu of
coal.

VILLAGES VANISH
SEVEN HUNDRED PEOPLE DIE IN
A LANDSLIDE.
Glacier Swept Down u Valley and
Destroyed Everything in Its
Path---With the kesistless Force
Of the Vast Body Went the Add
ed Horror Of the Hurricane.

Vienna, Sept. 4.-News has been re-
ceived here from Tihis, Trans Caucasus,
Russia, of landslide which occurred
August II, in the vicinity of Mount
Kasbck, and which resulted in the de-
struction OF some 20 villages and the
loss of nearly 700 lives. Seismic dis
turbances seem to have started a
glacier, which swept down valley and
destroyed everything III its path.
On the north slope of Mount kasbe
lies the watering place of Tmenkau.
Early in the morning of August l 7 sub.
terranean disturbances were noted at
Tmenkau, but hundreds of persons in
the hotel there, in spite of warnings,
continued their bathing in the springs.
At o'clock of that evening the en-
tire valley where the hot springs are
situated was filled with a deafening
noise resembling thunder, and loud
rumblings were heard. The valley
stream swelled to the dimensions of u
mighty torrent, and sweeping along it
carried with it huge blocks of rock and
ice. Then the bathers tried to escape,
but it was too late. The entire
northern slope of Mount Kasbek with
the glacier above began tn move rapidly.
Village after village was swept away,
and everything in the path of the land
slide was destroyed.
Within few minutes the valley,
which is nearly ~ miles long, had been
devastated by wall of rock, ice and
earth. The valley was completely filled
up, in some places to Il depth of nearly
a thousand feet, by the matter that fell
into it. A hurricane ragged at the time,
and the bodies of the people and ami
mails were flung to a great height and
dashed against the rocks.

INCREASE CAPACITY.
Standard Oil Company Branching
Out in Seattle.

Seattle, Sept. 5.-The Standard Oil
Company has awarded contract for
the construction at Seattle of the largest
warehouses and storage tanks on the
coast, outside of San Francisco. In
many respects, especially as regards
modern or improved appliances, the
Seattle plant will be the best owned by
the company in the West.
The company has acquired property
at Whatcom street and Railroad ave-
nues, not far from the Centennial mill
The two streets at this point are $50
feet in width and the company has four
and quarter acres in its plat, so it
will be removed from all buildings in
that part of the city. Officials of the
company declare that their plant is Il
low fire risk, but some property owners
are inclined to think differently. and
the company seems to have satisfied
everyone that even though Il fire should
occur at its plant no danger to nearby
Industries would result.
There will be four new buildings in
the Standard Oil Company's new plant,
though they will be covered by single
roof. The capacity of tanks owned by
the company at Seattle will be increas-
ed from 300, 900 to more than ,000, 900
gallons.

FORMALLY TAKEN.
Northern Pacific Acquires a Branch
Railroad.

Vancouver, WASH, Sept. 3.-The
Washington & Oregon Railway Com
panv, which has been the name of the
road operating between this city and
Kalama, has gone into the management
and control of the Northern Pacific. 1t
has been owned all the time by that
road, but was named the Washington &
Oregon for business reasons. Edmund
Rice, of Olympia, who has Deen secre-
tary, manager and superintendent of
the line, has been succeeded by New
man Kline, OF Tacoma, formerly
division superintendent of the Northern
Pacific. A. c. O'Neel, chief engineer,
has been succeeded by W. d. Darling,
of st. Paul. Other changes will be
made in the local management. Here
after the road will be known and oper-
ated as direct branch of the Northern
Pacific, and the old name will be dis
carded.
1t is not thought that the change will
have any effect upon the proposed
bridge across the Columbia river. In
fact, the bridge building will probably
now be FASTENED.
The roadbed is among the best in the
country, and every detail has been
made as near perfect as possible.
The steel bridge across Lewis river is
being built as fast as possible, and when
completed trains will be run between
here and kalama to connect with trains
to the sound and the East. 1t Is not
expected this will be long delayed now.

DESPERATE NEGRO.
Wounds Eleven Policemen and
Three Citizens.

New York, Sept. 3.-Jerry Hunter,
the negro who shot number of police
men and set fire to his house in Queens
borough in an effort to escape arrest,
was captured and locked up in the
Astoria Jail. In the fight between
Hunter and those who tried to arrest
him, eleven policemen, three citizens
and Hunters wife were wounded.
Mrs. Hunter, who helped her husband
in his effort to escape, was taken to
hospital, where it was said that she was
in a serious condition. Hunter was
badly beaten in the struggle when he
was caught.
John Mckenna, a patrolman, was
shot in the head and face. Both his
eyes were destroyed and the wounds in
his head were so serious that his re-
covery was thought to be doubtful.
The citizens wounded were men who
had been called upon by the police to
aid in subduing Hunter.
Hunter was employed as caretaker OF
Il large tract of land near North Branch,
l.. I. He saw man digging sand

intruder, who ran away and told Police
man McKenna what Hunter had done.
Mckenna ran to Hunters home and
was shot by Hunter. The police re-
serves we're called out then, and seige
began which lasted until after O'Clock
in the morning. Every time police
man moved from cover shot would be
fired. Fortunately for the police, Hun
ter seemed to have only a shotgun.
Shortly after o'clock Hunter set fire
to the mouse and tried to escape. Mrs.
Hunter carried an old cavalry sabre
and with this she fought until over
powered, inhicting severe wounds on
Patrolman Cassidy. Hunter ran for a
patch Of woods near the house but was
caught, and subdued after severe
struggle in which he was badly
wounded
