kinds Of fish that there are always some good

comparatively few sorts of those, and each sort
is very different from the others. If people

WRIT COUNTY TAX CASE SETTLED
The Supreme Court Again Decided
Against the State Tax Commits

on January 81.
WRIT COUNTY TAX CASE SETTLED

A special dispatch. from Charleston
says: ESQ
Governor Dawson is expected to is
sue a call before Sunday assembling
the state legislature in special ses-
sion on January 81.
Fer the second time the Supreme
Court of Appeals refused to grant the
state tax commissioner writ of man
damus in a suit against the Writ Coun
ty court to compel the latter to lay
it's levies in conformity with the law.
The court held that the law limiting
the county levies to 81 cents on the
hundred dollars valuation of taxable
property for county purposes did not
apply to district. road purposes, and
the county courts are thus given free
rein without limit.
: In order to perfect this law, and {,
enact local option law, abolish the
county fee system and discuss the Vir-
ginia debt question at length, the call
for an extra session of the legislature
is expected this week.

The fund now being raised by The

disaster is growing, Mr.. A. T. Russler

An offer of women's and children's
clothing has also been made by u char

this contribution will be sent for.
Allegany county, Md, has just COM
pleted the task of raising and for

MORE WOE At MINE
Outbreak Of Scarlet Fever Com
pNcales Situation al Monongah.
THE SEARCH FOR BODIES STOPS
1t Is Probable That Some Will Never
Be Recovered Because of the
Heavy Falls = Damage Suits
Are Likely.

Scarlet fever has broken out at
Monongah, the scene of the great mine
disaster of December 6, and this adds
another to the sorrows of the women
of the town. Every precaution is be-
ing made to prevent the spread of the
disease, but conditions are such that
the fever may become epidemic.
Conditions at the mines are becom-
ing normal. The search for dead bod
les has ended in Mine No. 6 and but
little more is to be done in No. s. 1t
is doubtful II the exact number OF
men who met death in the mines will
ever be known. Chief Inspector Paul
has ordered that nothing further be
done until he has made thorough
examination. For this reason the res
cuing parties did not operate today.
Two bodies only have been foun9
since yesterday, bringing the numi0
found up to 1886. 1t is thought t
notsmuch more work can be doney
this direction without moving 10t
of debris, as one OF the rescuers says
falls in some parts Of the mines, par
ticularly In No. s, are so bad that lit
tie or no progress can be made. Some
falls in different rooms reach to the
extent of 200 feet and the interior Of
the mine is in a badly torn-up condi-
ton. 1t is not likely that some Of
these falls will ever be cleared UP
as it will necessitate great amount
of work and labor, and the rooms are
practically exhausted of coal.
One of the rescuers had a narrow
escape from deaths He was standing
at one place directing the work and
for some reason stepped away a short
distance. Hardly had he moved when
a two-ton fall came down at the ex-
act spot where he had been standing.
The legislative committee did not
meet at Clarksburg as was expected.
John Marshall, secretary of the COM
mittee, was there, and one or two
others are expected tonight, but 1t Is
probable that the committee will adj
journ until after the coroners jury
renders it's verdict.
The amount of the relief fund now
approximates $4,000
Damage suits are expected to come
on behalf of the dead Italians. G. d.
Caldara, the Italian consul there, said
that personally he would prefer to
settle all claims possible out of court,
but he could not say what his govern
ment would do.

F|REMEN IN FAVOR
Of Demonstration IN This Clty When
Association Meets.
HOSE CO. NO. | HAS TAKEN ACTION
Boys Held Meeting Tuesday Night
and Decided to Make Effort to
Revive Interest : Sentiment
Favorable Here.
HOSE CO. NO. | HAS TAKEN ACTION

That the proposition tn hold a big
demonstration in tina city on The oc-
casion of the meeting OF the Cuml err
land Valley Siremen', association in
May naxt has not been abandoned, but
is very much alive. Miis amply e,i..nlc
ed by the acton 0. the members of
Hose Co. No l. known as the Ryneal
at their meeting Tuesday night, when
iit was decided to appoint committee
to take up the matter and confer wirh
the other Are companies OF the city.
The question Of the demonstration
was taken up after the regular routine
business had been disposed Of The
Boys were enthusiastically in favor
If the proposition to hold the demon
stration, and 1t is altogether probable
hat their action will result In the
,ther companies taking up the matter
10 soon as they meet and adopting
some course that Will assure the sue
cess OF the project.
AS will be remembered by readers
f The Evening Journal, the PROPOSE
ion to hold the demonstration was
placed in the hands OF committee of
business men and firemen several
months ago, but that some trouble
arose over the probable receipts
rom the street concessions. II was
Understood at the time that one or
wo of the fire companies wanted the
money realized from this source to be
turned into the treasures Of the coin-
panies pro rata. The split was on this
point, and the matter was dropped, for
he time at least
The sentiment at that time In favor
of the demonstration was pretty gem
sral, and it is believed that favorable
action on the part Of the firemen will
result in again arousing favorable
sentiment among the business men,
1t has been stated by a number Of
merchants and other business men
hat they would be willing to contri-
butte literally toward the expense OF
The demonstration, and 1t is yet be-
ieved that If the matter is placed In
) hands Of the proper persons, the
money will be forthcoming.
