ment was frustrated here Monday night
by Il telegram from tho young ladys
father and a policeman OF this city, who
landed the couple In jail, The young lady
was Miss Nellie Cooke, OF Thaxton, Bed
ford county, daughter OF I. N. Cooke,
and member of ono Of the most prom-
.nent OF Southeast Virginia families. She
Is fourteen years old Her lover, Joseph
L,cast, Is twenty-one and native OF
Italy. The father Of the young girl tel
egraphed the chief OF police to arrest
tho couple on the arrival of the train
here. This was done, and the couple was
confined for the night in the city jail,
and to-day the girls father came to
Roanoke and escorted her back home
Miss Cooke vowed to a newspaper re-
porter that she would marry the man
OF her choice at all hazards, and said
that love would find the way. Her lover,
who has q fairly good education. ex-
pressed himself as equally determined and
that the interruption OF their plans will
be only temporary.
Tho girls father said he would prefer
a charge of abduction against tho for
eigner, with the hope Of securing con-
viction and thus breaking up tho match.
Lucast Is still IN jail awaiting the action

flashes. Thus We waited events. Soon
the darkness took purple and yellow
tinges, the dctonatlons became louder
than the loudest thunder clap and
the ashes burnt our eyes. It was n
perfect picture Of Dante's inferno,
The trnin could not proceed, so thick
were the ashes on tho track and just
at this point the train broke in half
and the poor woman fugitIves, think
ing they We're about to lose their lives,
began to chant lltnnies for the dead,
giving last weird touch to the In
fernal scene.
"Carboneers came to our rescue
and proposed TO take us to the sea.
We then found we We're on n briage
with the son on one side and Zorro
del Greco OIL the other hand In
tho darkness wo descended hand In
hand, forming n human rope, and
false step would have meant death,
The port was so choked with ashes
that small boats coui not navigate,
'Wcarily We trudged bnck to the
station TO fnd,there WAS no prospect
OF another train. We had then beef
nve hours In that plight, So seeing
that heroic measures were necessary,
with n companion, i trudged miles In
two or three feet OF ashes to Portci,
where finally we found n cab which
brought us to Nnnles,'" b. S-Sgs

The court will also DO asked 70 ISSUE m m
Injunction commanding that Volivn be

taken have not yet been decided on.

Loses an Adhereit.
Dowie lost an adherent to-day In Miss
Eliza beth McLennan, who accompanied
Dowie rs a nurse on the long Journey
to regain his health. Miss McLennnn
went to Zion City after a heated inter-
view, In which she told Dowie that she

In referring to threat. which, it Is
asserted, that Gladstone Dowe made. In
tlmating that If his father did not cease
In his attacks on Mrs. Dowlc. Gladstone
would reveal certain deeds said to have
occurred in 1877 In Australia, Dowic to-
day said:
II remember nothing particular that oc-
Cured in the year 1877. I know OF no
reason why any exposure OF my acts
during that period Of time should cause
me to be afraid. Coming to think of,it.
however, there Is one thing that hap
pened In the year 1877, which I greatly
regret, and that is that the Lord gave
unto me son whom I named Gladstone.
All my lifo I've tried to give counsel and
supply him with money, but my efforts
In leading him IN the paths that would
havo him walk have all been without
avail. Now. unless this young man
ceases making these threats and inslnua-
tons, I will be forced to reveal his true
charnc ter to the world; 1t will be a story
OF degeneracy that will be shocking"

AS to Henrico Court.

Tho following order was entered IN the
case Of the Henrico Circuit Court terms:
"This day came again the parties, by
counsel, and the court having mnturely
considered tho petition Of the plaintiff,
the exhibit filed Herewith, and tho
demurrer and answer of respondents.
is of opinion that the act approved
March II, 1905, fixes the time for hold
ing the terms of the sixteenth Judicial
circuit only and does not apply to the
5 tenth circuit or any one Of the other
circuits Of this Commonwealth; the
time for holding the several terms OF
the circuits other than the sixteenth
being regulated by the act approved
March 10, 1904, Acts 1901, chapter 229,
page 1876.
1T is therefore considered that
peremptory writ of mandamus issued,
directed to John w. Williams, clerk OF
tho House of Delegates and as such
keeper of the rolls OF Virginia, and
paws Bottom, superintendent of public
printing, requiring them to insert In
the volume of the acts of 1906 tables
showing tho commencement OF the
regular terms Of the circuit courts or
this State In conformity with the view
EXPRESSED In this order.
'And 1t Is further ordered that the

tory writ of mandamus."
