AN ABLE BODIED NINETY YEARS
 OLD PEDESTRIAN.


 Again has that remarkable aged gen. tleman. Luman F. Parker, of this city, demonstrated his wonderful ability to walk long distance without becoming fatigued, by journeying afoot Sunday from his home on Franklin street, over in Kensington road to Corrigan's corner, thence over to the reservoir and up the north side Of the mountain to West Peak. down from the peak to the fork in the roads leading to the tower, thence to Castle Craig and from there home by trolley.
 MT. Parker celebrated his ninetieth biEthday last August. as mentioned in the Record that time. About month ago Luther Powers of this city, aged eighty five, walked remarkably long distance for man of his years, but MT. Parker soon after walked distance ex- ceeding by several miles the record of MT. Powers. Mr. Parker's Sunday tramp was much longer than the pre- ceding one. and he did not feel any i'll effects whatever.
 c. J. Danaher was on the peak when Mr.. Parker was there and through his powerful field glasses he was enabled to see distinctly ships on Long Island sound as well as other points of inter- est.
 All his life MT. Parker has done con siderable walking. At one time. back in the '30's he walked a distance of if ty-two miles in a single day, from o'clock in the morning until 10 o'clock al night. He with others were driving hundreds of cattle to market. Meriden Record. s

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Judge Mason H.ads Down Far-Reach-
ing Opinion.


Judge John W. Mason in the Cir
cult Court at Clarksburg, handed
down an opinion relative to mining
rights which is of great Importance.
The case was that of Leander Griffin
VS.. THE Fairmont Coal company, to
recover s., 600 damages done to the
surface of his lands by reason of the
said coal company having removed all
the coal without leaving pillars or sup
ports thereby causing cracks, fissures
and holes -iu the surface which were
destructive to the springs and water
courses ON said lands. 1t is the first
case of the kind ever brought in the
State of West Virginia and perhaps the
most important as 1T involves thous-
ands of acres of land. Judge Mason
has had the case on demurrer for sew
eral months and in his opinion he sus-
tanned the demurrer Of the defendants
deciding that the defendant under the
deed had a right to remove the coal
without reference to the surface I'M
less it was done wantonlv and negli-
gently. This decision is departure
from the law as constructed by other
courts i'll different States of Che union.
and also in England. extending back
for hundreds of years.
