SMALLPOX ON TRAIN.
Japanese Legation Become Lone Pas
senlsr in Car.

Altoona, Pa, Oct. Oct. 20.-On the va!
from Washington to Pittsbu.g yesterday
afternoon, on the Pitlsburg Express, Penn
s,lyania railroad it WAS discovered THAI
D. Rsayns, aged 80, a servant at the Jap
anese Legation at the National Capital,
vas victim of smallpox.
After the train left Harrisburg the con-
ductor noticed the man was ailin9 and
telegraphing arranged for physician who
came aboard the train at Huntington.
Upon examination tue physician announ'
ced that the passenger Was suffering from
smallpox.
Like flash the news became nolsed
through the car and instantly the frantic
pass ngers undertook flight. BY hard
work the trainmen preserved order and
ayerted what threatened to be panic in
the crowded coach.
The car door was locked aud from Hun
tingdcn TO Altoona, distance of nearly
so miles, the Jap was the solitary occu
pant of the CIR. He was hurliedly re-
moved 10 a closed vehicle 10 the county

Victory For Small Coal Producers.

Clarksburg, Oct. 19.-In the circuit
court of the United States here, Judge
Nathan Goff decided the mandamus suit
of the Kingwood Coal Company against
the West Virginia Northern Railroad Com
pany, and others, in favor Of the plaintiff
company. The decision was based on the
working capacity of mines and not on
rating given them by railroad companies
and upon the provisions of the interstate
commerce law. The decision is far-reach-
ing as 1t effects the relations between rail-
road companies and coal operators, and
especially accords to independent operators
rights not heretofore observed by railway
CON mpanies.
Under the decree railroad companies
must furnish cars to the coal companies
along their lines in proportion to the cspa-
city Of the mines.
For years independent coal operators in
West Virginia, and in other states, have
been forced to await the pleasure of the
railroad companies to transport their pro-
duct.
Judge Goffs sweeping decision clears
away this menace with flash.
Hereafter the independent coal operator
will have the same opportunity 10 market
bis product as the mines of the railroad
company. Should excessive rates be
charged by the railroads in the effort tc
crush independent competition, recourse
is to be had in the Interstate Commerce
law which provides an equal rate for one
and all.

The Walter L. Main big three ring cir
Gus, excellent menagerie and eXcll1g
Roman hippodrome is coming. 1t viii be
at TazewelI Saturday, Oct. 81, in all It's
magnitude and glory. The Main shows
are well and most fayorabIy known, but
when the Main shows we kUcw bu5 few
years ago are compared to the present ag-
gregation, it becomes evident that we kne"
the show only in hs infancy. Year bf
year the show has been added TO and
strengthened in every department unii
now it is the largest and best that ysus
this section Of the country. This year Mr.
Main has under contract a company Of
performers iha, it Is utterly impossible 10
duplicate for merltOiou5 acting. Ia fact
any act given under the spacious tent with
any other show would be 4 feature. All
acts with the Main show are features, for
we're they not they would not be with It,
Tie riders, Jockeys, acrobats, ehmbiers,
gymnasts, jugelers, wire walkers, clo"ns
and specially peop'e are all head liners in
the ranks from which they were chosen.
So numerous are they that three rings
elevated Stage, spectacular amphitheaire,
aerial elclave, sporting plaza, athletic field
race track, hippodrome and college o.
FACET are required to display their many
accomplishments. Mr.. Main has always
enioyed the reputation Of exhibiting only
the very best, but this season he has far
outdone any of his previous efforts. The
menagere is the largest and most complete
ever assembled and students of natural
history have pronounced it the finest.
Not only are the fully matured representa-
tives of the forests, mountains and plains
in evidence, but the infantile specimens
of ferocity, some of them with their eyes
not vet opened, are at their mothers side,
No better opportunity TO study natural
history was ever afforded than al this
menagerie. The cute little nursing baby
camel and pouderous infant water buffalo
are amorg the births in the menagerle
this season. Attendants are always in at
tendance and willing to answer politely
any questions asked them.

A BISHOP OBJECTS.
Refuses a Call to the Husband of
Divorced Woman.

Philadelphia, Oct. ia matter that
may become a celebrated case in the
Protestant Episcopal Church IN America,
became public when announcement was
made that Bishop Scarborough, of the
';ocese of New Jersey, had refused to ap.
prove the call to a church within bis juris-
dction of clergyman married to woman
vino had been granted a divorce from her
.ir.; hu,bAnd-also an Episcopal clergy
utn.
The case is that of The Rev. George +.
Kettell, formerly assistant rector Of Christ
church, Baltimore. His wife wa, originally
Miss Bessie Broue hton, Of PocOmoke City,
Md She married the Rev. Clarence
Frankel in February, 1900, and six months
later they moved to Nebraska, where her
husband was missionary. Later she Sc
cured divorce in South Dakota on the
grounds ofnon-suppo t, unfaithfulness and
cruelty. She then came lack to POGO
moke City, became acquainted with the
Rev. Kettel and the coupleiwere married
on July 80 las. by Rev. Charles A. Hensel,
vicar of Grace church chapel, Baltimore.
Shortly after this Mr.. Kettel resigned from
Christ church.
Christ church at Palmyra, n. j., about
ten miles from Philadelphia, offered the
rectorship of that church to the young
rector on the recommendation of Bishop
Scarborough before he IVES married. He
accepted after informing he vestry Of the
church that be had married a divorced
woman, but when he went to Trenton to
get the approval of the bishop, which is
necessary, when a clergyman ofthe church
goes from one diocese 10 another, he was
refused Some OF the more ardent sup
porters of the Rev. Mr.. Kettel want to
take the matter to the civil courts, and it
is said this will probably be Zone.
