a Natural Curiosity.

West Virginia has an interesting
natural curiosity in the shape of a
mountain or a volcanic explosion. 1t
is located in Nicholas county, three
miles south of that village which is
the county seat, overlooking the far
famed Gauley river The point Of
disturbance is about 1900 feet above
sea level, and the top of the mountain
is practically fiat to the extent per-
haps of a hundred acres. Great ifs.
sures have opened up in the solid
stone in places to the depth of 100
feet, but in most places not over 25
to 80 feet deep. In width the crew
ices range from a few inches to a
space wide enough for a double team
to pass through. From the bottoms
of some of the rents in the mountain
top large trees are growing, and on
the tops of the rocks are fine collec
lions of evergreen and wild flowers
in season.

SIX TONS OF IRON FOUND
B. & Q. Property in Possession Of
Junk Dealer Not Recovered.
PRACTICE THAT is DANGEROUS
journal Brasses and Nuts Removed
From Rolling Stock and Switches
in the Local Yards.

Miller, the junk dealer, was before
Justice Felker this morning ON the
charge Of having in his possession
about six tons of old iron which was
claimed to be the property Of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad company.
The company for years has been an
noyed by the loss Of iron, brass and
other property from the yards and
shops in this city. In some cases
they were able to recover but in other
+ cases there was some .technicality or
lack Of proper identification Of the
stuff that conviction was not gotten.
+ In the case this morning it was
evident to the company's attorneys
that the iron in question was without
doubt the property OF the company.
The defense. however, showed that
the same kind OF iron was used by
other roads and that it would have
been possible for the dealer to have
had it shipped in here from another
point where he could have secured it
legitimately. On this ground the JUS
tice held for the defendant and the
case was ended.
The thieying of brasses and other
parts from cars has become so extern
siye of late that some Of the cars of
the company that stand in the yard
here over night are almost denude in
the morning of journal brass, nuts
and other detachable property. It
seems that anything around the yards
that can be gotten loose or carried
away is taken and in most cases the
, stuff finds its way to the junk deal
er where it is turned into cash ana
the thief is that much richer.
Not long ago some coaches were
brought here in the evening and when
they were made up into the train the
next morning and started out there
was a harsh grinding sound and in
vestigation showed that nearly all
the brasses had been removed during
the night Not only does the rolling
stock suffer but the bolts on the
switches and other removable parts of
the track are removed and transferred
to the junk pile.
This is not only an annoyance and
loss to the company but it endangers
the lives of the travelling public, for
the loss of some of the nuts and
brasses may be the cause of a wreck
in which lives are at stake.
The company will make a determin-
ed effort to stop this practive and ev-
cry effort of its police department win
be turned toward that end.

WARNING TO BAGGAGE MEN.
Check Thieves Switch Checks on
Trunks and Later Rifle Them.

Trunks and Later Rifle Them.
A gang of baggage check thieves
have been operating in all sections of
the country, and have occasioned Sc
rious loss to the railroads.
John P. Dugan, general baggage
agent of the Baltimore and Ohio, with
headquarters in Baltimore, has issued
circular letter to all the baggage
men in the employ of the company, in
which he says that an organized band
of baggage thieves are operating all
over the country, their method being
to steal checks from one company and
use them in switching checks on bag
gage routed on another line, and that
this is generally attempted at some
junction point where baggage is trans
ferred, the original checks being de-
tached from baggage and replaced
with those stolen from another line,
same being destined to some conven-
lent point, where the baggage can cas-
lily be secured.
No one is now allowed to ride in
the baggage car except the employees
of the company. No baggage will
be allowed on the platform, but must
be placed in the baggage room.
