Last midnight the citizens o.
Elkins were awakened by a rum
bling similar to that of an earth
quake. The noise could be heard
for miles and the earth trembled
People fed In terror and hundreds
In night apparel were running ro
and fro panic stricken.
An immense boulder, 40 feet
square. had let go from the tower
Ing cliffs high up on the mountain
side and came rolling down into the
narrow valley of the Elkhorn with
frightful force. Half dozen small
buildings In Its course were wrecked
and the railroad track was so badly
torn up that trains were delayed
for hours. No one was injured.

every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be. Its nutri-

A sudden rise in the Guyandottt
river very recently caused the
breaking of a number of booms
and the sweeping out of fully
100000 worth Of timber. In at.
tempting to save portion of the
timber several of the timber men
and their employees, who had
charge of the bComs, came near be-
ing dro gned. The rise came so
suddenly that no thorough prepa-
ration had been made Tor 1t, hence
the boom supports were but those
retained for an ordinary current.
The food has caused untold damage
along the course of the Guyandotte
river and reports of vast losses are
coming In every hour.

QUESTIONS Of LICENSE LAW TO BE
DETER
Court of appeals Will Settle Validity of
LegisEasure's Special Acts.

Court Of appeals VIII Settle Validity Of
Legislatures Special Acts.
The Supreme Court of Appeals
of West Virginia IS wrangling with
a question, the determination OF
which will mean much to many
West Virginia towns and cities,
and will settle the question of the
legislature to enact special laws for
different localities. The particular
act whose validity Is questioned Is
the one amending the charter of
Grafton so that the county court Is
required to grant license to sell
liquor to any person to whom the
city council of Grafton grants IL
cense. Acting under the law which
was passed at the last session of the
legislature the Grafton council has
granted license to several appli-
cants. but the county court has re
fused to grant them. A mandamus
has been applied for from the ST.
preme Court, and the matter Is now
before the court. The decision will
affect so many towns that 1t Is
awaited with eagerness.

CANDLEMAS DAY.-ITS ORIGIN AND
STORY.

Curious Origin OF the Name of the
month In Which it Is Celebrated
Candlemas Is an ecclesiastical fes.
tival celebrated on the second day
of February In honor of the puri6-
cation of the Virgin Mary when
she presented the infant Jesus in
the Temple. 1t was instituted by
the Emperor Justinian in SAL AID,
and Is by psychologists and others
thought to be an adoption of the
old Roman Februa, or feast of puri-
fcation, which occurred on the
18th of the month, which took Its
name, February, from the feast,
both being derived from the Latin
verb Februare, meaning to purify.
This word, tracing the matter fur
ther, Is In Its turn derived from the
radical "febr' of the Latin word
febris, which means fever. Hence
February was the physical puri6-
cation month of the Romans be-
cause 1t was also the month In
which to fortify the system by
cleanliness against the fever season
following 1t In that part of the
world.
1t takes Its Christian name, "Can-
dlemas," from the conservation on
that day of the candles to be used a
year hence, and the candles are
themselves typical of the fact that
Christ, who was on that day "pre-
sented," Is often called the Light oil
the World both by himself aud
others. In the religious procession
on Candlemas day the candles, con.
secrated year before, are lighted
and carried by the participants.
The day In some sections has been
known as 1.-The Holiday of st.
Simeon" Christ Presentation, and
In the north of England as "Wives'
Feast Day."
The weather prophecy tradition
connected with the day prevails all
over Christendom.

 New York, June 1.-The first round of match play i'll the annual tourna- mcnt of the Women's Metropolitan Golf association began to-day on the Essex County Country club links at West Orange, N. J. The conditions were favorable and the matches for the first cup were watched with much interest. Of these the contest be- tween Miss Genevieve Hecker, the present champion, and Mrs U. F. San ford, captain of the Essex County wo- mems team, was the most note worthy. The match between Miss E. ". Goffe of Essex county, who won the low score medal in the quail lying rounds yesterday with card of S6, and Mrs B. A. Manice of Baltus- roi, who has the women's record of S4 for the course, was also followed with interest.

TURBULENT SCENES.

Vienna, June 11.-There were fur ther turbulent scenes in the lower house of the Reichstag to-day when both the president of the house, Count Vetter yon Der Lille and the premier, Drs von Koerber, scathingly criticised Dr von ISlofal and other members who yesterday protested violently against the anti-Polish speech recently deliver ed by Emperor William of Germany at Marienburg on the occasion of the con- pletion of the work of restoring the ancient castle there.

INJUNCTION DISSOLVED.
Judge Robinson Thinks the HoadIey
 Interests Sufficiently Protected.

Judge Robinson Thinks the HoadIey
 Interests Sufficiently Protected.
 The temporary injunction in the $17,000,000 suit of Charles and Hor- ace Hoadley of Highland park, this city, against the estate of the late mill lionaire, Henry E. Plant, has been dissolved, excepting in one particular ill which it remains to protect the in- terests of the plaintiffs to the extent of $15,000. Judge Robinson of the superior court handed down this de- cision this morning. The matter was heard by him ill the superior court in New Haven last week, Colonel Bur- pee appearing for the plaintiffs.
 The decision is contained in six pages of legal cap. Briefly, 1t gives greater scope to the legal acts of the administrators of the estate, in that their official actions may now be con- ducted outside of this state. But while they may remove as much of the estate as they may see proper, they must leave untouched a portion amounting to $1b,O0O, so that tho plaintiffs shall be fully protected, no matter what happens to the rest of the estate.
 To this course the plaintiffs had nev- CT any objection, but to seek protection for themselves they had to ask for am injunction covering every act of the administrators and to confine their conduct to the limits of this state.
 The court finds that the plaintiffs have an annual interest of $3,T00 in the estate and that for their children there is trust fund of $15,000 which it is provided shall be distributed to them in 1909 This item of S15,000 iS the main thing in issue. The plaint- ifs interests, to the amount men- toned, are protected by funds exceeds ing that amount on deposit with trust company situated in New Jersey. Furthermore there arc ample funda in the possession Of this trust cons pany to pay the Hoadleys their annu- ity of s, TOO. So that the conrt finda their interests are we'll guarded in ev- cry particular and therefore he saw no reason why the injunction should not be dissolved.
