There is probably moi q sensible man
in Europe who does not believe that a
great war is inevitable; this, too, in
spite OF the asseveration Of the leaders
that they want peace. Germany, in q
pinch, can bring 1000, 900 of soldiers
into the field. Austria and Italy can
do nearly as we'll. France has been
periecting her military system, and no
one knows what armed myrisds Russia
can uncover. And if war ZONES these
nations are bound to engage IN it. The
world g old, but 1t will never bRye
experienced anything in warfare to
equal the coming fight.

pRIGuTPUL ACCIDENT

Caused by n Fiend Purposely Leaving a
Switch open-Death of Two Trainmen.
Special Correspondence Of he Ia.eQigaea.
CHARLESTON, W. Va, Oct. 27.-An
awful wreck occurred here to-day about
one-half mile above the depot, on the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad. The pas
senger train going west, known as train
No. I, due here about 4:3O a. M, jumped
the track and was thrown down an en-
bankment and every car wrecked and
burned up, including a Louisville
sleeper. Fireman Elkins, of Hinton, w.
Va, was caught between the tender and
baggage car and was the only one badly
hurt. His cries brought the engineer
and conductor to his relief, but they
failed to extricate him and he was
roasted alive. The engineer got out Of
the smoke, but the brave conductor re-
fused to leave his fireman and he also
was caught in the debris and burned
alive. The engineer was seriously
scalded and bruised. The widest ex-
citement prevailed among the passen-
gers, some OF whom were badly hurt,
but too much excited to try to relieve
the conductor and fireman. There were
about 100 passengers.
Some scoundrel had forced the switch
open and had had also changed the
switch light so as to show white light,
meaning FALL right, thus misleading the
engineer and causing the awful death OF
two employees.

Ell PAso, TEX, Oct. 29.-Word has
been received from Washington that the
Director OF the Geological survey is OF
opinion that the recently conceived plan
OF constructing an immense dam across
the Rio Grande at or near Elpaso is per-
iectly practicable; but he thought that
the question OF conflicting water rights
must be settled first by the enactment OF
u general law by Congress. The chief
purposes'of the dam would be to irrigate
the valley for about fifty miles and
furnish motive power to prevent de-
structive floods below here and to settle
the Mexican boundary question by keep
ing the river in its proper channel. 1t
is proposed to make the dam an inter
national affair,
