Mr.. and Mrs. Kirk last Friday
evening invited several to go with
them for drive into the country,
their guests including Miss Lott,
Miss Cooke. Mrs. Hardin, Mr..
Allen, Mr. Josey and Mr.. Heyser.
The party left town about half past
five and drove out to the palm
grove, seven miles below town,
where a sumptuous luncheon was
served, al fresco. After spending a
short time most pleasantly under
-he spreading palms" the party
returned to town. The moon had
risen by the time they were ready
to start. and the drive home was
the most delightful part Of the en-
tire outing, as there is no joy
that can compare with a moonlight
drive down BY the Rio Graude.

Care For Orphans.

Work of removing the dead bodies
from the mines at Monongah is al
most completed now, and 1t is thought
all the bodies that Will ever be recov-
cred will be taken from the mines dur
ing the day. At 5 o'clock Thursday
800 bodies had been taken out. or
this number, the greater part had been
identified. Many unknown bodies
we're also buried, after being exposed
for Identification for three hours, as
ordered by the county health board
The bodies of Charles Wise, mining
engineer, Of Fairmont, and Of John
M. McGraw, pit boss Of Monongah,
have been recovered.
Work OF reconstructing the wreck
ed mines will be commenced the first
of next week, IL is thought, and In
few weeks the mines will be running
again. All danger OF fire in No.
mine Is now over. the last vestige OF
the fire having been put out by the
workmen.
Many sad incidents are occurring III
connection with the work of recov-
ering the dead bodies. While at work
Perry People and John Thomas were
separated from the rest Of the work
ers In the mine. Mr.. Thomas had
brother and his father entombed in
the mine. While working through
the heading Thomas stumbled over
body, which, when 1t was brought to
the light of the miners lamp, proved
to be that of his brother. Thomas
was overcome by the sight and left
the mine, although his fathers body
still remained there
The dead are now in terrible state
of decomposition, and the stencil
from the bodies makes the work Of
the searchers almost unbearable. Be-
sides the bodies of the men, the mules.
which were in the mine at the time
of the accident, are adding to the
horror of the work.
Governor Dawson announced today
that he Will personally attend the
inquiry for the purpose Of instituting
rigid investigation, with view to
ending West Virginia mine disasters.
Relief funds are sufficient for the i'm
mediate wants of widows and orphans.
Bishop Donahue, of the Catholic do
cese Of Wheeling, will provide for
many Of the orphans. He is considers
ing the leasing Of property for tenn

HE ASSAULTED AN OFFICER
AND GOT BEAUTIFULLY LICKED
FOR HIS TROUBLE.
Prize Fighter Stacked Up Against
An Irish Policeman Here-Is
Sorry he Did 1t.

A husky and rather genteel-look
ing young man named Smith $50 he
says) drifted into town a day or two
ago and announced that he was prize
fighter and Snowman, who wasn't
afraid of anything that walked, talked
or wore hair. Everything was lovely
with him until he raised a distur-
bance at the Baltimore & Ohio pas
senger station Thursday night and
was collared by officer Monaghan.
Smith Immediately grew bad, and
declared that no Irish policeman could
arrest him. He was fooled, however,
for Monaghan landed him in the po-
lice station without much trouble.
While in the act Of locking his pris-
oner up, Officer Monaghan got a
belt on the jaw that riled him ex-
ceedingly, and when his prisoner
challenged him to a fistic duel he
took him out and punched him one
that cooled off the belligerent Smith
in short order Smith was given
$3.50 before Mayor Harrison, and hav-
ing no money left over from his re-
cent ring engagements, concluded to
so to work on the street today.

DEVELOPING LEMEN FARM
ENGINEERS AT WORK In NORTH
ERIN PART OF COUNTY.
Expect to Connect Mineral Lands
With Baltimore & Ohio or Cum
berland Valley Railroad.

Engineers are engaged in making
surveys on the Berkeley county side
of the Potomac river, In order that
estimates may be made to determine
whether to construct a railroad sid
ing connecting with the Cumberland
Valley railroad or the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad.
The scheme has in view the deyel-
opment of iron ore and limestone in
terests in the northern section Of
Berkeley county, together with GER
tain developments to be made on the
Nicholas Lemen farm along the Po-
tomac river, deal for which will be
shortly closed, it is said. Some pro-
minent business men of Martinsburg
and capitalists in Pennsylvania and
New York are identified with this deal
Engineers are also now running
the preliminary lines for various troll
ley roads in the section named, all
of which is being done to determine
upon the most economical and feasible
route to make connections with either
the Cumberland Valley or the Balti-
more & Ohio railroads or to cross the
proposed Williamsport bridge and con-
meet with the Western Maryland.
Mr. W. Wood, Baltimore & Ohio
official, has another scheme, as told,
namely, to consider an aerial line from
the proposed industries on the south
side of the Potomac to the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad for the transporta-
ton of raw material.

BYRD ON POsTROADs BILL
WINCHESTER MAN TALKS or
IMPORTANT MEASURE.
Declares That Congressman Floods
Bill Would Mean Much For West
Virginia and Virginia.

A special dispatch from Richmond
says:
Richard e. Byrd, of Winchester.
who has been in this city for several
days in the interest of his candidacy
for the position Of speaker of the
house of delegates, today discussed
the bill offered in congress by Rep
resentative Hal Flood, of Appomat-
tox, providing for the building and
improving of postroads in the United
States.
Il have just read with great deal
of interest Representative Floods bill
for an annual appropriation of $685.
100000 for the purpose of making
and improving the postal roads of
the states and territories" said Mr..
Byrd. THE bill provides that the
secretary of the treasury shall at the
end of each fiscal year ascertain the
surplus revenue, If any, and out Of
the surplus shall pay sum not to
exceed $25,000,00O to the several states
and territories, according to popula-
ton The money is 0 be entirely ex-
pended ~ the state authorities who
shall report to the secretary the laws
and regulations under which the mon
ey is spent.
THE constitutionality of such =
measure is undoubted In the ole
strict construction days road was
built by the federal government and
then abandoned Mr.. Floods idea is
bound to become a law sooner or la
ter, and he deserves credit as its pio-
neer. Should Mr.. Floods bill become
law Virginia and West Virginia
would each get about 100000 for ev-
cry year during which surplus of
.$25O00.00O has accumulated. 1t is
needless to say that this amount
would greatly simplify the road prob
lem in these commemorative.

Holders Of Land Can Block The New
Passenger Station.
WHAT A LOCAL OFFICIAL STATES
Declares That Baltimore & Ohio Will
Erect Handsome Depot Here If
Owners of Land Do Not Make
Prohibitive Price.
Prohibitive Price.

Representatives of the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad Co., who have been
at work here during the past week. as
told exclusively in The Evening Jour
nal, have completed their surveys and
plans for the proposed new passen-
ger station, and have filed their re-
ports with their superior officers in
Baltimore.
Surveys were made from the Old
freight station east of the passenger
depot, to the present freight station
west of the North Queen street cross
ing. 1t was the opinion of the engi-
neers that the present freight station
offered the best stu for the proposed
new passenger depot, and it is alto
gether probable that the plans Of the
engineers will be adopted.
Speaking Of this matter, a we'll
known local Official who does not
wish to be quoted In connection, said
to representative of The Evening
journal To-Day.
1T all depends upon the owners OF
property near the site of the new sta
ton whether we get the depot. They
have made prohibitiye price to the
company, and the officials are not dis
posed to pay this price. II we can
get the land at a reasonable figure the
new depot will be erected. If the
the figures submitted to the Baltimore
& Ohio Co., its altogether probable
g Ohio Co, it is altogether probable
that the new station will be held off
indefinitely. 1t Is up to" the owners
of the land at the site Of the proposed
new building"

Terrible Disaster at Monongaf
Leaves Thousands Dependent
Upon Charity Of People.

Many subscription bureaus have
been opened throughout the east and
other sections of the country for the
benefit Of the families whose husbands
and fathers were killd in the terrible
mine explosion at Monongah, w. Va,
last week. and haritably-inclined peo-
pie of Martinsburg and vicinity can.
If they so desire, leave any sum OF
money at The Journal Office and it will
be forwarded at once to the proper
authorities who have charge of the
relief work.
Advices from Monongah state that
while much assistance has been rem
dered to the strickRn families, it will
be some time before the distress is
relieved, and that money or provis-
ions sent now will do more good than
if delayed.
