It Columbia Musical Parlors. That team of mirth-provokers, John C. Rice and May Irwin, have caused a regular sensation in New York with their “kissing scene” from the “Widow Jones," where {t has been reproduced on the “Vitascope,” the wizard Edison’s latest and greatest invention. It has been just as much of a sensation to the Washington people, who have had an opportunity to view it on the Kinetoscopes at the musical parlors of the Columbia Phonograph Company, 919 Penn- sylvanja avenue. Every one in general, nd the young fellow ani his “best girl” in particular, will learn mauy points worth knowing in the few minutes it takes to see it.

Trains Delayed, Crops Destroyed and Thousands of Dollars in Value Swept Away. ‘The worst storm for years raged yester- day all the morning in the mountains of western Maryland and throughout West Virginia. The downpour was something tremendous, especially on the plateau on top of the Alleghenies, but it would not have caused the damage it did except for the fact that a steady rain, with only in- termissions of a few hours or so, has been falling in that section for the past ten days. Asa result all communication was stopped and the last train to arrive over the Wheeling and Cumberland division of the Baltimore and Ohio reached this city about 8 o'clock last night, eight hours late. The passengers on this, the Cin- cinnati Mmited, had an exciting experience, which many of them will not forget for a long time. In the first place, the train wes compelled to go around by way of Co- lumbus before it struck the Wheeling divi- sion, by reason of the rise In the Ohio and its tributaries. From this time con- tinual delays occurred, the first being at Grafton. Here a boom of logs burst ard carried down the stream at least $15,000 worth of fine timber. The train got through to Oakland just three hours and a half late. ‘The mountain torrents at that time were undermining slyiceways Placed to carry them under the tracks. A little after 10:20 a landslide brought the train to a complete standstill. To make matters worse, word was sent that a cul- vert or sluiceway near Swanton, and passed a few minutes previously, had washed out. There the passengers were, a few miles east of Altamont, on the very summit of the Alleghenies, and able to go neither forward or backward. Repairing the Damag. A couple cf heavy freight engines, with section men, worked at the slide, which was made up principally of rock, weighing two tons, and, after four hours of labor, suc- ceeded in removing it to the west-bound track. At this time the dam at Mt. Lake Park burst, swelling the little Youghiogheny to enormous proportions and overflowing the road between that place and Oakland. The lake had just been completed at a cost of $8,000, and covered thirty acres. It was the property of the Park Association, the president of which is Rev. Chas. W. Bald- win of this city. At Piedmont the Potomac did a large amount of damage, flooding the lower part of the town, carrying away the contents of several lumber yards, swamping the lower floors of nearly all the factories and breaking the big dam which furnished power for the mills. The Potomac there makes a sharp bend, and in its onward rush It weakened the west-bound track, nearest the river, considerably In places. Over a Weak Spot. At bridge 21, just beyond Keyser, occur- red the most exciting incident of the trip. One of the central cribs supporting the structure had given away, but after con- sultation it was decided to risk sending the cars across. The passengers, however, set cut on foot to cross the trestle: well as gentlemen, and then the train fo lowed, making a safe passage. It is thought, however, that a good deal of mon- ey will have to be spent before the bridge is rendered entirely reliable. Between Cumberland and Washington the river did not appear to be so much swollen, and con- sequently the remainder of the passage to Washington was made without incident. All along the Potomac and its tributaries crops in the lowlands have been wiped ou besides bridges being swept away and other uamage done to property. Cloudburst in Garrett County. A destructive cloudburst visited Garrett county, Md., yesterday, after a fearful night of rain. The small creek leading by the property of Judge Wilson, down 3 street, through the town of Oakland, was reticed to be rising rapidly, and at 10 o'clock it came through the town like a raging torrent, soon inundating the busi- ness portion of the town. The large furni- ture store of Shartzer & Bolden, on Main street, was entered by the flood and a great loss sustained. Dixcn & Kelso lost a large part of their stock. The water ran into the Garrett County Bank and the flood was so rapid that it was with difficulty that the bank officers could escape. All of the business houses on Main street, Oakland, were injured, and the loss will run into many thousand dollars. ‘The bowling alley near the bank bullding was carried completely off of its foundation and turned over on its side, while the sidewalks and bridges were all carried away, the street being now filled with great piles of debris and closed to traffic. Reports from the county indicate that there will be a large loss in bridges, as many of them have been swept awa: The Flood in West Virginia. The great fall of rain has swollen every stream, and is now causing the water to rise to a higher point than ever before. There can be no estimate made of the extent of the damages which have been caused by this flood. Every railroad leading out of Grafton, W. Va., has suffered to such an extent as to make it Impossible to run trains over the roads. The east and west-bound trains of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad are all ued up owing to the carrying away of many bridges and the blocking of tracks caused by landslides. This is especially true of the Wheeling division. The depot and ho- tel are filled with travelers who have been caught in the storm. The first train to reack Grafton over the Parkersburg branch of the B. and O. came in at 5:30 yesterday afternoon, having left Parkersburg at 6:50 o'clock in the morning. On board the train were a large number of delegates who had been attending the state conyention. One of them, when asked what kind of a trip he had, replied, “Thank God, I am safe.” A Perilous Trip. The run from Parkersburg to Grafton was made between two dangers, one from water and the other from being crushed by falling rocks. All along the route could be seen the devastation caused by the flood. On the bosom. of the Hughes river, which runs along the side of the B. and O. road, could be seen every kind of farm product floating down in the flood. ‘Tomatoes and wheat were carried along side by side, while heavy logs, carried down by the rushing tide, could be seen Bobbing along like huge sea serpents. Bridges, and, in fact, everything mov- able, was swept along, until, stopped by some sudden turn in the river, they were jammed together into a barrier, over which the muddy torrerts dashed’ until they whipped themselves into a mags of white spray. At Salem station, where the train was stopped in order to await repairs to a washout, the people of the village could be seen going te the store on horseback, swim- ming the animals along the streets. As a result of yesterday's storms in West Virginia, which extended over a wide area, the railroads are not turning a wheel, while reports of large losses of property which escaped the storms early in the week come in from every quarter. Early in the morning the main line of the Baltimore and Ohio was broken at Cameron, the tel- egraph line also going down, and no trains have arrived on the fourth division since. The Ohio River railroad was washed out | at Barnesville for the eighth time in forty- five days, and near Sistersville the track is reported buried ten to fifteen feet deep by great masses of earth and rock from the illsides. ros Transfers of Real Estate.

CHAPTER I. It was marning in the highlands, and as Avrora, tinseled in pink and silver, came tripping o’er the blue and purple mountain tops, a long train drew in from the winding valley and stopped at a pretty station, on which a summer hotel looked down from its eerie among the crags. As the train drew out of the station and hurried away it: the mists of amethyst frirging the brows of the mountain, a soli- tery young man might have been seen on the platform giving directions concerning his luggege. CHAPTER II. A half hour later a solitary young man might have been seen eating his breakfast in the salle a manger of the hotel. CHAPTER IIL. On the piazza of the hotel something of importance, not to say great moment, was occurring. | Girls in’ pink, girls in blue, g.rls In white duck suits, girls in seersucker gowns, girls with brown eyes, girls with blue eyes, girls with gray eyes, girls with golden hair, girls with raven treases, girls with tawny locks, girls dainty and. sweet and loving and beautiful, girls hopeful, am- Ditious, willing; girls recklese, grasping, selfish; girls waiting, watchful and weary; irls, girls, girls. : SGirls, girs, girls reatlessly walking the piazza, gathering in clusters, twittering as the birds twitter, timidly peeping in the windows, only to dodge blushing away, hurrying about as if on the eve of some conspicuous event, toil and turmoil, and then there was a tumult and a great crowd- irg toward the door of the dining room. At this moment a solitary young man might have been seen coming out of the salle a manger. CHAPTER IV. A hammock swung softly in the summer breeze, and four girls sat in and about It. ‘A boat floated on the pretty rustic lake, and six girls propelled it among the lilies hat fringed the sedge. an dashing cart and horse. swung grace- fully around the graveled curve of the road, and stopping in front of a cottage five girls descended and threw themselves Mstlessly down in the shade of the plazza. ‘A body of tennis players and a squad of bicycle riders met on the lawn and ad- journed to the cooling shadows of a great ‘oak, where lemonade was served. They were all girls. During these fleeting moments a solitary young man might have been seen peeping through the blinds of -his.window over- looking the grounds. 1 CHAPTER ¥: What means this excitement of effort and wild rushing of féet? -!

As the train, with a final puff of relief at finding rest, stopped in the gloaming, a solitary young man armed with a double- barreled shotgun might have been seen giv- ing directions concerning his luggage. eCHAPTER YII. Five minutes later as the train whirled rapidly away down the mountain, leaving the hotel on its eerie among the crags fad- ing into the filmy mists of the night, a solitary young man might have been seen on the rear platform gazing heavenward and murmuring a prayer of thankfulness. — Walter Stetson, a young Washington comedian, who was last seen here with Buckler’s Stock Company, has secured a two weeks’ engagements at Atlantic City, with Cape May and New York to follow. j electricity, To Prevent Vice and Disease.

A Man Who Will Some Day Be a Great Mathematician, A Star reporter was hurrying along to- ward the office one of those mornings not long ago when the temperature was abo’ forty-two degrees cooler at 8 o'clock than it 18 on the average summer morning in Washington,all reports to. the contrary no:- withstanding, when he was met at an in- tersecting street by one of those govern- ment scientists who have a good time at the Smithsonian, stuffing birds, animais and reporters, at so much per stuff. “How dy?” said the scientist, falling in and catching step with the reporter after the manner of most methodical and caleu- lating people. “The same,thanks: how do you find your- self?” responded the reporter, who has a firm belief that what the English language needs 1s a proper form of salutation that means something. “I've been noticing as I came along this morning,” said the scientist, “that every man’s trousers seem to be too short for him. e reporter stuck out his leg. ve noticed that on myself as weil,” he said. “It is due, I presume, to the colder air making the material drier and con- tracting it.” “Yousare quite right,” assented the scien- tist ina tone of admiration and surprise, indicating that the reporter knew more than the scientist had ever suspected dur- ing their previcus acquaintance. “And did it ever occur to you,” he continued, pretty much in the manner of a professor before his class, “what this shrinkage means?” “Nothing further than that a man has to let out a reef or two in his suspenders, or his trousers will flap around his shoe tops like idle sails in a summer breeze.” The scientist became admiring again. “Quite true,” he said, “but there is a greater meaning than this, a widespread one. Let us suppose, for instance, that there are in Washington seventy thousand pairs of trousers in use and in stock—" “Call it a hundred thousand on that count,” interrupted the reporter. “Very well—there are, let us say, one hundred thousand pairs of trousers in Washington, each pair of which shrinks, in such a change of weather as we have had, three-quarters of an inch in each leg, or an inch and a half a pair. That will make a total shrinkage in the hundred thousand pairs of one hundred and fifty thousand inches, equal to 4,163 and tw thirds yards, which at an average value of $1.50 a yard amounts to $6,249, more or less. Now, did it ever occur to you where that shrinkage went and what became of the $6,249 it represented in value? If you will—" Nobody knows to what extremes that sci- entist would have gone with his facts and figures, but just at this moment a fight and a fire alarm arose on the air in the next block and the reporter escaped. ———>__ If Silver Dollars Replaced Gold. The director of the mint, in answer to an inquiry, has prepared a statement showing that, as the full existing mint facilities of the country do not exceed an annual coinage of 40,000,000 silver dollars, no less than fourtcen years would be con- sumed in replacing with silver dollars the gold in circulation, suppcsing the latter is drawn away to Europe as has been pre- dicted would follow the free coinage of silver, and that additicnal minting facilities are not provided.
