Go to Coliseum Tonight; Big Bill If you are a loyal citizen of Richmond, go to the Coliseum tonight. There will be one of the best entertain-
, ment bills ever offered in the city, lights are guaranteed, and -only a nominal admission charge will be asked.

There will also be other features. FESTIVAL STAFF A VERY SAD BUHCH Storm Has Knocked Splendid Arrangements Into Large Pile of Debris. STILL HOPING FOR THE BEST SECRETARY REtLER SAYS THAT Aft, SOON Aft THE WEATHER CLEARS THE FESTIVAL WILL BE PULLED OFF. ' Disconsolately chewing a cigar stub. Secretary Roller of .the Fall Festival executive board, hopelessly said this morning as he gased from the window of his office on ' the downpour and the small army of cltlxens in yellow and blue raincoats: "Isn't this terce. We are Just about as enthuatlcAsyaihen In the middle of Lake Erie during a storm. Oh, well It may clear up by next year though and we can have a festival then." , However, Mr. Roller brightened up considerably when , he heard that "Doc" Genu's sprinkling wagon had been washed away, and said that the second the storm broke there would be a festival. - It was stated all the committee are on their toes ready to start to work when the weather permits. As to financial matters the festival committee will undoubtedly "go in the hole," but every bill will be paid, according to Chairman Ed Harris, who stated the committee would fight things through. Some of Arrangements. Exact arangements for the agricultural parade have not been made, but It will probably be held Saturday morning, the weather' permitting. The Are department run, in which there was to have been a display of water throwing was postponed by the executive committee. It. was believed there Is sufficient water on the streets to do for a while at least The Ire run may be arranged for Saturday just after the agricultural parade. After the light had gone out In the Coliseum last night and the band con cert was ended, the 'executive committee of the Fall Festival' adjourned to Secretary Reller's office and held a meeting by candle light. Hard luck reports were the feature of the session. However the committee cheered up for awhile when it was learned fair weather was predicted. Barring earthquakes and cyclones or lire, the Centennial Day program will be held Inside the East Main Street Friends' church instead of in the yard. The grounds are' too wet for an outdoor meeting. The meeting house will hold the crowd.. Unless the weather is favorable the hippodrome will not be opened. No acts will be given anywhere but the hippodrome grounds. The balloon contract has been cancelled as there Is no visible chance for an ascension. To hold it Friday and Saturday would not be financially practicable. The Cincinnati Reds baseball game was called off on .account of. wet weather.

BIGGEST RAH! Hi TWELVE YEARS IS, THE RECORD MADE Precipitation of 4.98 Inches Wednesday the Greatest in Wayne County Since March 22nd, 1CS3. RAINFALL COfJTIKUOUS

Within six hundredths of an Inch of equaling the excessive rainfall record for any day. was the precipitation of Wednesday, October 5, 1910, the day set for the opening of the third annual Fall Festival In Richmond. While no records were broken "in regard to amount of rainfall the present wet spell has made an endurance mark, as It has rained continuously since Tuesday night, at 11 o'clock, until Thurs day morning about 9 o'clock, when It stopped for five minutes, and then resumed operations. That such an excessive amount of rain. .has greatly discouraged the, Fall Festival association can not be denied. The fact that It came In the month of October Is a- most remarkable fact for generally the first part of the month Is dry. An Odd Occurrence. Forty-six hours ol continuous railfall probably was never witnessed In this community before by the oldest citizens and more than likely it will be another century before it is wit nessed again. According to the records of Walter Vossler. the govern ment weather observer for Wayne county, It began to rain here at 4 d'clock on Tuesday morning and rained until 2 that afternoon. It began again at 11 o'clock that evening and at midnight when the registration was made eighty hundredths inches of rain had fallen. It has rained continuously since up until time for going to press with the exception of . five minutes rest, which the weather man took Wednesday morning. , While it rained hard on Wednesday, It was not the sort -that runs off the ground as rapidly as it falls. The river was raised, of course, by the excessive amount of rain ut not to the point that any danger was felt by the residents In Happy Hollow. It was not thought the river will overflow its banks to any considerable extent, unless the downpour continues another 24 hours. DEATH AWAITIIilT WEATHER DEALER He Even Prevented the Holding of an Indoor Festival ; Event Last Night. BURNED OUT CITY LIGHTS AND THE COLISEUM, WHERE A CROWD, HAD GATHERED TO HEAR BAND CONCERT AND 8EE .DRILLS, SENT HOME. Unable to even give an Indoor entertainment without interference from the weather man the officers of the Fall Festival association are almost frantic and something worse than murder would happen If their hands could be laid on him now or at any time in the future. Defeated in their plans for the form al opening of the third annual Fall Festival on Wednesday morning, as anticipated, the officers held a meeting and planned for an impromptu opening at the coliseum in the evening. A large crowd had collected there about 7 o'clock to witness an exhibition of the prlxe winning teams of the Modern Woodmen and a concert by the Maxwell-Brisco band of New Castle. '.'"'.- 'Even this affair, through the fault of the weather man had to be called off. About f o'clock many who were supplied with light by the Municipal electric light plant found themselver
DACGERQliS FIRE WAS AVERTED f BY VERY FAST WORK
L, H. & P. Co. Plant Catches Afire on the cif, Gas Explosion Follows and Some Machinery Ruined. ; ptG TELEPHONE CABLE CAUSED MUCH TROUBLE Falls' on Municipal Cable, and Lights in Many Sections of the City Were Extinguished for the Night. Fire threatened the destruction of the gas plant of the Richmond Light. Heat and Power company, late yesterday afternoon, and caused a loss of over $500. The blaze originated In the roof, but its cause is somewhat of a mystery, although it is said to have been from a spark from one of the machines. There .was little damage to the building but much valuable machinery waa ruined. - The artificial gas service in the city was not impaired as there was a sufficient supply in the big reservoirs. Quick and efficient work of the fire department saved the entire plant destruction. The fire rapidly spread from the roof to lower portions of the building and on the arrival of the Ire companies the inside of the plant seemed a mass of flames. Immediately afl er the arrival of the companies there was a gas explosion in the second story, which it was believed for a minute would unroof the plant. However,' soon after the firemen began throwing water the Are was placed under control. No one was injured, although several firemen narrowly missed being struck by fallIn? timbers and ntachtnerr-'ltopioyeli at the gas plant state that the factory will again be manufacturing gas today. There is now enough gas in the tanks to insure service to the patrons in the city. Fourth Fire at Plant. The fire is the fourth of the kind to occur this year, and practically all of them have originated in the same place near the smoke vents It was reported last night there had been a serious explosion and 1 several em ployes were Injured, but this story had no foundation. The plant is en tirely covered by insurance. A few hours after this blaze a telephone cable If the Richmond Home Telephone company fell over a Muni cipal electric light cable ' on Ridge street, near the Sevastopol school house, burning out both lines and put ting an end to electric light in cer tain sections of the city until today, and telephone service for more than three hours. Besides these lines the fire servise at Box 56 was ended until today. Municipal electric lights on Main street and south end cables were out until today. " . The telephone cable was melted and a pole near by was set on fire. There was an electrical display which was plainly visible for almost a mile, attracting many people to the scene. After several hours work of linemen of the telephone and electric light company the damage was repaired and service restored in Fairview. About nine o'clock the fire depart ment were called to the corner of Third and Randolph streets where a telephone wire and primary of "the Light, Heat and Power company had formed a short circuit and set fire to a telephone pole. The damage amount ed to about $10. The cause for the telephone-electric light " fire was the wet weather which makes the forming of short circuits easy. In the dark. Two primary wires frdm the plant which supplied residences and stores in the Main street district and the south of Main street district were burned into and owing to the danger whleh would have attended the repair of the wires with the current on, and the inconvenience which the entire city would hare experienced had all power been turned off to make repairs, Superintendent Nimrod Johnson of the plant, after much consideration, decided not to repair the dam age until early Thursday morning. SHY A FEW DRINKS T dont know nothln' about it," said Jim Brigga, a BentonvUle negro, when arraigned on a charge of public intoxi cation. In police court this morning; "I only took one drink of whiskey,' said Brigga. Yon ought to have tak en two or three drinks this kind of a day," said Prosecutor Ladd.

Henry County to Wayne County BY BESJ. F. PAPKER. NEW CAMTLE
When the Delaware went Into full effect In 1120, so large a per cent of the first settler were young folk starting in life, who came over the line from Wayne, a to justly entitle Henry to regard Wayne County as her mother.
Dear Mother Wayne, thy daughter greets thee now. As standing at thy Second Century's dawn. Still radiant with youth, while on thy brow' . Ivy and laurel twine, and, o'er thee drawn. A canopy of virgin forest sprays .. 1 Recalls the glory of thy morning days Fond Mother, I was welcomed to thy breast .-"'"When soft winds watted or wilder tempests blew, ' As Finley sang It, In "A Hoosler's Nest." . Where buckeyes sprang and wild wood posies grew. And many cunning little Hoosleroons. f On mush and milk ted well from pewter spoons. Brave Mother Wayne, today a century young! - What may thy daughter, Henry, bring to thee, ' Save peace and blessing that no mortal tongue - May sing in words of haunting melody. And gratitude that loyal la and glad Though half the world be speed or money mad.' O, Mother Wayne twas long and long ago Thy log convention opened up a way For liberty's increase and spake thy'No!" To slavery's sly contention, that rare day, , A No! that rang through alt the wilderness, Its power to ban, its greater power to bless. Of peaceful Quaker attitudes of thought. Thy sons to liberty were so inclined That when all compromises came to naught - And freedom called, no longer peace confined. They rushed to battle; many a hard-fought, field Drank the hot blood of hearts too brave to yield. ' On fame's Escutcheon Glory's seal has set So many names of thine in living glow, ' That thou, perchance, may banish all regret For war's long horror, filled with tears and woe. And smile as wedded peace and liberty Bring their rich offerings of love to thee. ' '-....'.' Here's to thy Quaker fathers grave and gray. Richmond, fair city by Whitewater's stream, That leaps and laughs along its onward way Through vocal vales rare as a painter's dream! They bullded well with mingled toil and prayer. So may their children build with equal care. In memory's glass again thy. hills I see, v Thy brooks that shout along their steep Inclines, And Elkhorn's Falls to wild bird minstrelsy , Patter once more beneath o'er-mantling vines; A!JPa-op " That- gave tae water's, once, toil's solemn .pace Then . came with me to my own denser shades And toiled and dreamed as only genius may; . , And still his soul my memory pervades , V As one who cheered and blessed any early day; Though he passed on, I thank thee, Mother Mine, For dow'ring him with genius near divine.
Our mortal children. age jind pass away,But thoji and I go ever on and on. A Century yet may seem but as a day, - ' ' One fleeting moment all our ages gone: Times, fashions, methods, all things change and change . But we go on to newer things and strange. "When shall we die?" Ah, well, when freedom diea Or anarchy displaces love and law, Or when dishonored wisdom seeks the skies, Or righteousness. Is fed to Mammon's maw; So mother mine, let us be friends and dwell ; In peace for years, or aeons, who can tell?

At The Festival Flower Show
Perhaps the best exhibit of cut flowers land potted plants ever made In Richmond is that at the flower show at the Pythian temple on South Eighth street. Despite the character of the day on Wednesday there were hundnsds of visitors and the crowd in the evening would have been as large but for the fact that the exhibit had to close about o'clock as there were no lights. Awards for . the different cut flowers, most of which were exhibited by the professional growers and the display of potted plants, many of which were entries of amateur raisers, were made by the Judges on Wednesday. The prize winning displays have been tagged and visitors will now have opportunity to distinguish the best from the more imperfect in the expert's point of view.' The carnations In the estimation of the Judges are as good aa exhibited at the biggest shows In the country. The awards are: To George Gsuse Firsts on cross, on Magnolia wreath and on wreath; seconds on 25 white carnations and on table decoration.

Consul William Dulany Hunter of Nice, reports that the exports of per fumery from that French district to the United States in 1909 amounted to $1,082,810, as compared with $717,379 in 1908. The increase was due to large shipments to American agents by French manufacturers in anticipation of a possible Increase in the tariff and to the growing demand of American customers. ?
