STRIKE CLAUSE IN
THE COAL CONTRACT.
Mr. Haney Will Protect Himself in
the Future Against Loss by
Miners Actions

The contract of George J. Haney
for the supply of coal for the water
department at the rate of So. 40 per ton
was read by City Clerk Rielley and
ordered signed by the proper officials
at meeting of the Board of Alder
men last night. A noticeable feature
was the strike clause which protects
Mr.. Haney from all loss In case he
cannot get coal on account of strike.
Mr.. Haney says he lost in his last
contract with the city nearly $1,000
as result of the big strike of the
miners last winter. Experience is a
dear teacher evidently and in the
future it is safe to predict that should
another strike occur the city, and not
Mr.. Haney, will have to suffer.

Drought Means Ruin to Crops,

ALBANY, N. Y, June 2.-Records of
the Albany weather bureau show that
the month of May here was the driest
in seventy-6ve years. The amount of
rainfall recorded for the past month
was 10 of an inch, trifle more than
the ordinary average of precipitation
for one day. The usual average for
May during twenty-nine years is 3.17
inches and during seventy-seven years
1888 inches. On only three days last
month did rain fall here in amounts
recognizable by the instruments of the
weather bureau. The local bureau re-
ports that since January there is de-
ficiency in precipitation as compared
with the average of 5.51 inches. The
drought is running crop prospects of all
kinds hereabout and truck gardens
which cannot be watered by artificial
means are practically destroyed.
Meadows are bleaching in the dryness
and the heat, and the hay crop will be
greatly damaged.

CLAIMS THE HONOR.

Senator S. r. Donohoe, of Fairfax,
has, at the request of The Richmond
Times Dispatch, prepared the appended
statement on the most interesting sub
iect of the original discovery and use OF
wireless telegraphy, in which he gives
the credit to Mahlon LOomis, OF FAIR
fax county, as early as 1877. The
story of the operations of Loomis in
this line is most interesting one, and,
as told by Senator Donohoe, is as fol-
lows !:
"The world has been startled and
amazed at the wonderful achievement OF
NJ. Marconi in transmitting messages
over long distances by means OF wire
less telegraphy. He deserves the
highest possible credit for projecting the
system and applying it to useful pur-
poses. He does not claim, so under
stand. to be the inventor of wireless
telegraphy, and few people are aware ol
the fact that the real inventor was
Mahlon Loomis, a former resident OF
Fairfax county, this State, who put 1t
to q successful test nearly thirty-iive
wears ago. Loomis was not native OF
Fairfax, but located in that county with
his parents when only ten years OF age.
He resided at the village of Spring
vale. His father and grandfather.
being men of culture, directed
his education, and when he
reached manhood's estate he taught
school in the neighborhood in which he
resided. In July, 1872, he obtained a
patent for his wonderful invention, but
encountered the jeers, rebufs and opposl-
tionaIike ofEcientists, capitalists and tele-
graph companies. He esucceeded, however,
in demonstrating the utility of his inven-
ton by transmitting messages between
stations fourteen miles apart without
wires. His stations were on thespurs ofthe
Blue Ridge Mountains. He memorialized
Congress for an appropriation OF s2O,-
900 to enable him to completely demon
strate the practicability of his invention.
The House of Representatives passed the
bill. but it was defeated in the Senate.
After sacrificing his health and means in
the effort to secure recognition of his
great invention, he died in 1886 at the
residence of his brother, at Terra Alta,
w. Va, at the age of sixty, fully con-
vinced that the world would some day
understand and acknowledge the grand
eur of his discovery. He is well remem-
bered by Mr.. Job Hawxhurst and many
other of the older citizens of Fairfax
county. The men who have originated
some of egreatestinventions of modern
times are hardly known in connection
with their achievements, but it is due to
the truth of history that they should
have due credit for their work. - Rich

tering the bo lies of babies. The Ru 3
slams got hold of New Testament and
read about the birth in Bethlehem. One
night in December, 1901, a beautiful
Young girl became the mother Of boy.
A rumor got abroad that Christ was come
again. 1t spread like wildfire all along
the frontier. The Russians said It was
Christ, the Mongols that it was Buddha.
The girl could give no explanation. The
girl was placed on throne and covered
with rich Chinese brocades with the babe
in her arms. Buddhists and Russians
knelt before her. Mother and child
were radiant. The crops fourished the
cattle multiplied, sickness vanished from
the settlements. A year passed and the
fame of the strange events Travelled as
far as St. Petersburg to the Car S ears.
No such sect must be permitted, he said,
and the police gathered from the adjacent
towns and told the girl and her baby to
depart. They did so, andnobody knows
what has become of them.
