West VIRGINIA

CHARLESTON, Nov. 1.-THE returns of
the election are slow in coming in. 1t will
be impossible to ascertain the result in close
counties until after the vote is canvassed by
the county clerk next Monday Governor
Atkinsons figures on the result make the
senate stand IS Republicans and Demo-
Gratis and the lower house 3S Republicans
and 80 Democrats, which would give the Re-
publicans fifteen majority on joint ballot.
Chairman Ohley of the Democratic state
committee claims the Democrats have
elected twelve members of the senate, in
cluding the two elected to fill the places of
Pierson and Getzendanner, which, with the
TWO Democratic holdovers, make the senate
stand IA Democrats and II Republicans,
making Democratic majority in the senate
of two. Ohley's figures make the lower house
stand 3S Democrats and 33 Republicans, a
Democratic majority of five or a majority of
seven on joint ballot.

At Wilmington

WASHINGTON, Nov. ia special to
the Evening Star from Wilmington, N. c.,
describes the situation there today as fol-
lows:
This disturbed and ongperturbed COM
munity seems at last to be entering upon an
era of peace and order. The complete change
in the municipal government, effected last
night with some suddenness but great un-
animity, has placed men in control of local
affairs representing the best elements of the
city. The firm hand of the law being laid
upon the town is holding in restraint all
classes which might threaten disorder The
first act of the new government was to swear
in 25O special policemen. Cool-headed men
were selected for these posts and were in
structed to prevent any attempts to ter
rorize the negroes as well as to frustrate
acts of lawlessness by the latter.
Good government was put to a test YES
terday and the new officials were called upon
almost before they had taken their seats
to make good their promises to preserve Or
der. A big lynching party was planned for
the night and it took ali that the Mavor
aud his assistants could do to prevent it.

Abbeyvlle for the home of J. M. Collins,
brother-in-law of r. r. Tolbert, who is said
to have been Republican leader in his Sec
ton. They go to tell him that he must
leave the country. There is no intimation
that they will use violence.
Tom Tolbert, who was so badly wounded
in the original encounter, is now at Abbey
vile, and late reports indicate that his
death is expected at any time.
Collector J. r. Tolbert is still here at the
state prison with his son. Unless some
complication occurs, it is expected that he
will soon recover.
All things considered, it looks as though
the trouble is at an end, and that no fur
ther trouble need be expected unless some
of the Tolberts venture back to Greenwood
county in very short time.

BRAKES WERE CLOGGED
BY AUTUMN LEAVES PILED ON
THE TRACK
A Train Derailed on the Lehigh Road,
Five Men Killed and Four
Wounded

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Nov. 1l-Th,
Buffalo express on the Lehigh Valley Rail
road, which left New York at $3.50 las,
night, ran into the New York and Phila
delphia train going east on the Wilkesbarre
Mountain p, road at o'clock this morning.
The killed taken out of the wreck are:
MILLIAM TOXHEIMER, fireman.
FRED GLASSER, fireman.
,,J. G. MGREGOR, express messenger
,Easton.
JACOB ENGLEMAN, brakeman.
JOHN M'NALLY, engineer.
i''uEeoi p.' +. PRICE, engineer.
JOHN ROHBLIN, engineer.
CHARLES MORGAN, messenger.
JOHN SHANFIELD, brakeman.
Ihe train going east, which was com.
posed OF an express car, combination bag
gage, a day. coach and three seepers, had
the right of way on a single track. The
butiaio buhai!, express, in charge of Engineer
Kohblin, had orders to stop on a siding on
the mountain and let the New York express
pass. As Rohblin approached the siding
he discovered that the arbrakes would
not work: The train was averaging about
thirty miles an hour, down grade. The
engineer whistled frantically for the hand
brakes; lie knew the other train was about
due. He reversed his engine and stuck to
his post but could not avert the collision
In less than minute the express from the
west, drawn by two heavy engines, hove in
sight, A terrible crash followed on curve
IN deep cut. Nearly all the passengers or
both trains were asleep. Many of these
were thrown from their berths by the shock
but none were severely injured.
The engines and baggage and express cars
were piled up, in a heap in the cut. The
passengers rushed from the cars, hearing
the cries Of the injured trainmen in the
wreck. 1t was almost impossible to render
any assistance. Flagmen fastened to the
nearest, telegraph office and sent word te
Wilkesbarre. A wrecking train with q
number of physicians and clergyman were
sent to the wreck. The road is completely
blocked and will not be cleared for some
hours.
An investigation shows that a heav,
windstorm prevailed on the mountain last
night which caused the leaves from the
forest to accumulate on the track. The en-
gines ploughed into these leaves, which
clogged the braking apparatus.
