WOODSTOCK, VIRGINIA.
FRIDAY JANUARY 17, i908;
Senator Mann is still fight?
ing the whisky interests. Uu
der the law as proposed by him
and passed by the Legislature,
there can be no saloons where
there is no police protection. Ile
now proposes to classify distil?
leries with saloons.
In other words, not only the
saloons, but the distilleries must
go.
The decree has gone forth.
Mr. Taft will be the next nomi?
nee of the republican convention.
President Roosevelt has named
him, which in the opinion of
many is equivalent to a nomina?
tion.
In republican America, if the
president has the power to name
his successor, how far are we
from a despotism ? When a
man was elected President by a
party heretofore, he became
President of the United States
andthepartv nominated a suc?
cessor, but times have changed
and the republican party, it
teems, has changed with them.
The steering committee of the
Senate of Virginia failed to re?
commend any republicans on two
important committees, those on
Finance and Roads. Senator
Noel, the republican leader pro
t ^ted agoinst the action of the
committee, but the republicans
were not strong enough to carr;,
their measure. Five democratic
Senators voted with the republi?
cans. They were: Folkes, of
Richmond; Strode, of Amherst;
Thornton, of Prince William,
Ward, of Winchester; and White,
of Fluvanna.
The minority should certainly
have been represented on the
Finance committee. As it is,
however, the democrats must
"take upon themselves the respon?
sibility of all appropriations of
the public funds.
riANY DIE IN URE.
Boyertow, Pa., Jan. 13.?From 75
to 100 persons, it is believed, chiefly
women and children, were burned and
trampled to death here tonight in a
fire which destroyed Rhodes' Opera
House, and as many more injured.
Men. women and children were
caught as in a trap and perished as if
they were so many flies. In a few
minutes more the structure was a mass
of fire and everyone *ho had not yet
escaped was doomed. The fire was
beyond control from the instant that
it started.
Boyertown is a borough with a
population of about 2,500 and is about
midway between Pottstown and Read?
ing.
Hundreds of persons surround the
burning structure, apparently un?
conscious of the pending danger from
failing walls Many parents who had
children in the Opera House ran to
to and fro, almost maddened by the
awful sight.
Boyertown, Pa., Jan. 15.?Figures
compilediby Coroner Strasser at night?
fall show that ITO are dead as a re?
sult of the fire. The list of dead in?
cludes one fireman, who lost his life
fighting the fire, and one man, Jacob
Johnson, who died to<lay. Three
charred bodies were recovered frotL
tbe ruins today, and of the 168 bodies,
or remains, that lie in the improvised
morgues .115 have been officially or
partially identified by sorrowing re?
latives or friends. The private
morgues of the town were not of sn?
ficient size to receive tbe bodies of
those taken from the fire ruins, and
the public school was also used as a
enamel house.
Vew of the bodies could be recog
ized by the features alone, as in most
cases the upper portion of the corpse*
was seared or burned to a crisp. A
detail of State police held tbe anxious
crowds in check around the improvised
morgue, and those seeking missing
relatives and friends were compelled
to pass in to view the bodies in order
That the victims were not confined
to residents of Boyertown was sdowd
by tbe number of unclaimed teams a'
the hotels. Kully 40'seams lemained
uncalled for in the stables yesterday
and the hostlers said they belongs
to people residing within a a radiu
of five or six miles of Boyertown, wh
drove to this place on Monday with
their families to witness the produc?
tion of ,lThe Scottish lleforiuatior.'
There is no clue to the identity of th*
owners of a number of tbe teams.
The merry parties of four and six
that drove inlo Boyertown In these
teams are believed to be among tbe
unidentified dead in tbe vnriou<
morgues.

MARRI Kl) IN Mil J. CREEK.
Love laughs at locksmiths, and also
at high water in this county. Saturday
afternoon a gallant youth from ti e
Cootes' Store neighborhood, met a
lady from Orkney Springs right in the
middle of Mill Creek and there the
sacred ceremony was performed that
made them man and wife.
Il happened that the officiating
minister was on the wrong side of tie
creek, without horse and buggy. The jJ
prospective bride and groom paused t
OB the opposite banks, and hesitated 1
to venture out into the swollen waters '
with their timid horse and rather frail
vehicle. j
But the problem was soon solved,
ilev. A Et Beck, *lth ritual In hand, c
stationed himself as near the edge of 1<
Me stream as sn ( rthodox Lutheran '
clergyman could be expected to do, ?
while Arthur Runion and Susie Rinker ?
arsssl their horse a little distance into 3
the stream. And there the momentous jl
words were spoken that joined them '
together for life. j ^
The bride is the attractive daughter
of Mr and Mrs. William Rinker
