NEW PHASE OF ANGLE CASE.
Decision May Enable Many Others
To Get Out OF Prison.

Danville.-The. granting of a new
trial to T. NJ. Angle, former presi-
dent of the Dry Fork Distilling Com
pany, on the grounds that the in
dictment on which he was convict
ed year ago was improperly re-
turned, in that it was not read in
open court, but merely handed the
clerk by the foreman of the grand
jury, may have Il far-reaching effect
on numerous other prosecutions by
the Government for revenue frauds
which are now pending.
Judge Mcdowell several years ago
abolished the practice of having the
indictments publicly read out in court
on account of the fact that this pub
hcity seriously handicapped the Gov
ernment officers in making arrests.
as the parties indicted by being thus
previously notified were enabled to
escape.
A prominent attorney of the city
stated that he believed the parties
now serving terms who We're indict-
ed as Angle was could have their
cases reopened and probably gain
their liberty on an application for
a writ of habeas corpus. Angle is
now out on bond. He was sentenced
to four years in prison and fined
81 1000. The prosecuting attorneys.
In order to prepare in advance for
an adverse decision of the Court of
Appeals, had new indictments re-
turned against him and he Will like
ly be tried again here this fall.

Richmond.-The Virginia Supreme
Court of Appeals, now sitting al
Wytheville, has refused a writ oi
error in the case of the Richmond
Traction Company and William
Northrup and Henry T. Wickham, re-
ceivers, VS.. Edith Austin Martin, who
sues through her next friend, etc.
This litigation is the result of a
trolley car accident at the Venable
Street crossing, when the child, then
years old, was run over by a street
car, losing all the toes on one fooI
and the great toe on the other. A
jury in the Circuit of this city gave
the child verdict of $4,000, and the
refusal of the appellate court tC
grant a writ of error means that this
verdict will stand.

GREAT EARTHQUAKE
MAY END WORLD.
Many Scientists See Earth's
Destruction ForetoId in the Ruin
of Messina.

The terrible catastrophe in Italy
which caused the inhabitants Of the
illrfated city OF Messina tc believe
that the end of the world had come
is only foretaste on a small scale of
what many eminent scientists believe
Will be the end Of the world, says
Cassells Saturday Journal That
eternal problem of how the world will
end is the opinion of many a matter
for scientific investigation, and it is
curious that the majority believe that
the earth will open up and fly to
pieces in the most gigantic earth
quake ever knOwn-an earthquake
that will wipe all life from the globe
before the actual destruction of the
earth is complete.
The late Grant Allen firmly be-
lieved that the world would end by
the crust Of the earth eventually Civ
ing way beneah the colossal weight
above it; and Able DupiP, one of the
greatest scientists of France, be-
lieves that dOomsday will begin with
war that will envelOp the greatest
nations in Europe, this being fol-
lowed by a plague the like of which
has never been known, eliminating
with an earthquake that will practi-
cally shake the world to pieces. e.
II. G. Wells, whose scientific proph-
ecies are we'll known, is, however, of
a different opinion. The world will
end, he declares, by its becoming en-
tirely frozen over. 1t is a we'll known
feet that every year more ice accum-
ulates around the Poles; in short,
many millions of tons of ice in excess
of that of the year previous settle
about the earth's extremities yearly,
and in Mr.. Wells opinion this will
gradually extend until the whole
world is frozen over and every liviI g
thing is thus destroyed.
Several scientists are of opinion
that we shall perish by fire, and this
old world of ours with us. Nikola
Tesla, the great American, is positive
that, the atmosphere of the world
being so fully charged with electric
ity, the result will be a gigantic ex-
plOsion by spontaneous combustion,
when the world will be entirely en-
eireled with flame whichSn the space
of a few seconds will destroy all life.
Two of the worlds greatest scien-
fists firmly aver that the end of the
world will be brought about by as
Economical conditions. Take Profes-
sor Marienberg, the noted Austrian
student. In his opinion the earth will
fly from its orbit and come in contact
with one of the other planets that
may chance to be in direct line. The
earth, being comparatively small.
will, of course. g&t the worse of it and
split into fragments at the collision.
But. of course, directly the world
swerved from its orbit all living
things would die, and such an earth
quake take place as would completely
put the Italian catastrophe in the
shade.

ed three months ago as a noise nui-
sance by order of Admiral Taussig,
commandant of the yard, after it
had nightly thundered the hour for
more than a century.
The furOre kicked up by the Ad-
miral will not down. Princess Anne
and Norfolk Counties, as we'll as Nor
folk and Portsmouth cities, feel ag-
grieved over the silencing of their
time fixer and old friend, and will
join in an appeal to the President
for its restoration.
A committee will likely go to
Washington 20 see the President on
the subject, and the Virginia dele
cation in Congress will be asked to
cooperate with 1t.
The matter was first taken up with
the Navy Department, but the de-
partment has disposed of it as ex-
planned in the following letter re-
ceived by Chairman Sergeant, of the
gun committee Of the Board of
Trade:
Dear Sir-Referring to your let
ters of June and Is, 1909, with
regard to the restoration of the 9
- oclock gun at the Norfolk Navy
Yard, have the honor to inform
you that the question was taken up
with the commandant of the yard
and given very careful consideration,
and the department has decided to
leave it to his discretion. Very re-
spectfully,
"Beekman Winthrop,
"Acting Secretary"
