Staunton's loss, in this partlcu-
lar will be Clifton FORCES gain, and
we are gratifed to learn indirectly,
that the Board of Trade of the lat

the interests OF the new road.
We regret that our information
was indirect, and is due to our fail
ure to get on the exchange list OF
the Clifton Forge Review, though
we have made overtures, and were
ready to entertain a boot" propo-

The Diamond Remains a Mystery.

AS q substance the diamond is one
of the mysteries Of nature, one OF the
despairs of science. Nobody knows
whence 1t came or how, whether 1t is
a spark from a comets tail or crys-
tallized drop squeezed in some horri-
BILE intensity of fiery CONFUSION from
the white hot insurgent heart OF the
earth. Nobody knows much about 1t
at all, except that it doesn't belong
to this world. Some known black dia-
monds literally were from the skies.
They came imbedded In meteorites
cast upon Arizona and Chile by an
unidentified star. One does not pros
pect for chips of stars. AS well search
for the end of the rainbow. Neither
is it practical to hammer all sorts OF
eruptive rock and conglomerate where
ever come upon.s Earthquake or vol
canic upheaval districts are not neces-
sarily the most promising, for often
diamonds that seem to have had vol
canic origin occur thousands OF miles
from the probable place Of extrusion,
carried thence, it is assumed, by
glacial drift in some far back geolog-
ical time.-Franklin Clarkin in Every
body's Magazine.

FOREST FIRES

News reached Harrisonburg yes
terday of the devastating work Of
forest fires in the extreme eastern
section of Rockingham county.
On Monday night flames that
have been sweeping over both sides
of Narrow Back mountains spread
down the eastern side and literally
wiped out of existence the proper
ty at Union Springs, consisting Of
two dozen cottages which had been
used as a summer resort. For some
time the buildings have been va
cant and when the, flames struck
the settlement, there was no one
present to fight the fire and in a
little while the whole place was in
ashes.
Residents of McGaheysville,
which was threatened with destruc-
ton Thursday by fire that origi-
mated in the Massanutten mountain
and was driven by a stiff wind to
the towns very edge, are deeply
grateful for the assistance given
them by outsiders in fighting the
flames, and for offers of assistance
from others whose services were
placed at their disposal. But fer
the timely aid rendered by persons
from a distance the town would
doubtless have been reduced to
ashes.
The people of the village greatly
appreciated the offer of Superinten-
dent C. B. Williamson. of the c.
W., to run an extra train carrying
fremen-and fire fighting apparatus
to the scene from Dayton and Har-
risonburg, as we'll as the willingness
of the fremen of those places to
come to their aid.
The fire was under complete con-
troll when last heard from, but the
villagers were still on the watch
and had guards out last night

HAVE NE LOST i Rs;sseAnf

We, of Staunton, are prone 90
think of ourselves as an energetic |
people. So we are so far as the
energy of the individual goes, but
when it comes to getting together
on a proposition for the general
good, we have proved laggards on
more than one occasion. Staun-
toms commercial bodies especially
have been lax in their efforts to IN
duce various enterprises to locate
here, and a chimera has often
found more of a following than
some real, substantial appearing
business proposition. In the past
we have gotten along very nicely
and have progressed finely as
city, but as we have already SAID,
the things accomplished have been
more by individuals than by pull
ling together. We would like to
boost with never knock, but the
truth is ofttimes a painful necessl-
tv, and our snug satisfaction is go
ing to cost us a railroad, it seems.
This railroad has been fully de-
scribed in the leader. 1t is to be
built from point on the B. a o.,
near Keyser, w. Va, down through
/ pendleton and Highland counties,
through the town of Monterey to

ening up q rich mining and agricul-
tural territory and diverting all the
wagon trade from Staunton to 9th
err points. 1t will even mean the
abolishing of the Monterey-Staun-
ton mail route. Staunton is the
natural southern terminus OF this
road, and the promoters viewed the
10 tie this way with some favor,
even surveying so far as jennings
gap, but our somnolent attitude
has no doubt cost us dear, and 1T is
now very doubtful if we could ever
get this city considered in the mat
ter. Our business people and our
trades organizations will realize toe
late what they have lost, for hac
the promoters of the new road beer
induced to land here, the project
would have meant q big increase If

of the new country to be opened W

The Leader has probably done

in error as to Staunton being the

viewed the route that way with

The building of the road, howev

MOTION FOR
TRIAL IN NAVAL
STORES CASES
Defendants Claim They Can
not Be Adjudged Guilty
and the Corporations Elm
inated-Taken Under Ad-
ViSement.
BY Associated Press.

Savannah, Ga, May 12.-Contending
that the verdict rendered by the jury
in the so-called turpentine trust
case is incomplete and void, and that
no valid judgment can be rendered on
it, the five men convicted in the trial
case just ended, today filed a motion
in arrest of judgment in the United
States court here.
The defendants base their conten-
ton on the failure of the jury to make
a finding as TO the American Naval
Stores Co. or National Turpentine and
Terminal Co. and that the jury was
discharged without agreeing on YER
diet as 10 all the defendants indicted
or without reporting a disagreement.
The defendants claim they cannot
be found guilty unless the corpora
tons are, and as long as the corpora
tons are eliminated from the case.
Judge Sheppard took the motion
under adViSement.

Charles 3. Galloway, of the Methodist

grew rapidly worse, and during the

The funeral will be Thursday after

PROMINENT BISHOP.
Bishop Galloway was possibly the
most prominent of the bishops of the
Methodist Episcopal church, South.
His articles in Southern newspapers
during his visit TO the Holy Land as
we'll as other of his writings were
widely read.
Charles Belts Galloway was born at
KOsciuskO. Miss, Sept. 1. 1S49, and
was in his 60th year. He graduated
in 1868 from the University of Missis-
sippi, from which institution he re-
ceiyed the degree of doctor of divin-
ity in 1882. The degree OF doctor of
laws was later conferred upon him by
the Northwestern University and by
the Tulane University. He entered
the ministry in 1868 as member of
the Mississippi conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church, South
serving numerous churches in that
state. He was editor of the New Or
leans Christian Advocate from 1885,
when he was ordained bishop. serving
the church continuously in that ca
pacity until the day of his death
TRAVELLED EXTENSIVELY.
Bishop Galloway's writings covered
a wider range, perhaps, than those of
any other person connected with the
Methodist Episcopal church, South,
and he travelled extensively. For a
number of years he took an active in
terest in the campaigns waged in
Mississippi and other southern states
for prohibition. Hand book of Pro-
hibition" and open Letters on Pro-.
hibition". which latter embraced a
controversy with jefferson Davis.
were among his writings along this
line.
Bishop Galloway was also author of

Missions-their Evident Value"
christianity and the American Com
monwealth." On three different &C
casions Bishop Galloway officially
visited missions in Japan. China and
Korea and attended the Brazil mis-
sion conference twice.
