A spreading rail on the Wheeling
and Lake Erie tracks yesterday short
ly before noon was the cause of the
wrecking of the Wheeling Bridge and
Terminal train running between
Wheeling and Steubenville.
The train was coming from Steuben-
vile, being due at Martins Ferry at
ten minutes after twelve, and when
about three hundred yards north OF
the Terminal Junction Office in that
town the engine left the main track at
a switch joint and started over the
switch. The two passenger coaches
fortunately remained on the main
track, although the trucks of the first
coach were entirely off the rails. The
engine not being on the rails twisted
manner and started over the embank-
ment at this point on its side and was
stopped in its course by two large will
low trees.
Engineer Jack Thurston, of Wheel
ing, and Fireman AID. Conoway, OF
Martins Ferry, were on the engine,
and Conductor Velliquette and Brake
man Wilson were in charge of the
train.
Thurston displayed great presence
of mind by reversing the lever and
applying the air. stopping the train
as soon as possible, but not until the
engine had careened over on its right
SIDE Thurston and Conoway remain
ed at their respective posts and more
serious accident might have occurred
had it not been for the willow trees
mentioned. Conoway, with the excep'
ton of a few slight bruises, escaped
uninjured, but Thurston, being on the
under side, did not escape so FORUM
ately, his legs being caught below the
knees beneath the corner of the ten
der and the ground. The trees very
likely kept the engine from sliding
over the embankment and also oven
Thurston's body. AS it was couple
of jack-screws were procured and he
was extricated from his dangerous and
painful position, when it was found
that one of his legs was broken and
the bone crushed. A physician had
already been summoned and by the
time Thurston was gotten out was on
the scene. He was removed to
Wheeling in a caboose and convey
ed to his home. His presence of mind
in reversing the lever undoubtedly
saved the train and its passengers from
what might have been much worse
accident, as the entire train might
have went over the river bank.
There were several passengers, all OF
whom were pretty badly scared as we'll
as shaken up. Among them were Mr..
and Mrs A. E. Neville, of Steubenville,
who were on their way to Atlantic
City.
The damage done will not be very
heavy considering the appearance OF
things. The cab was destroyed and
one side of the engine slightly dam
aged.
The wrecking train at Massillon was
sent for and arrived about three
O'Clock. In the meantime Road Mas
ter Howell had a force of men at work
and did what was in their power. Al
an early hour last evening things had
been gotten in shape SO that the regu-
lar trains could make their trips.
Just how the engine came 20 get over
on the switch is not exactly known,
but it is supposed that the rail on the
main track had spread slightly, or just
enough to allow the flange of the wheel

ence of the representatives of foreign pow ers To my mind it showed that these roy- alsts are the real anarchists.
 II repeat what l said before, these roy alists are the reactionists. They are hunt CTS of females and of fortunes, and they give our republican government great char acter by revealing their own weakness.
 'They are cheap aristocrats, who, seeing the president of the republic sally forth in his simplicity, without soldiers, could not discern the true patriotism in his act and were unable to distinguish between justice to an individual and dishonor to the army.
 "Upon my return to France after an ab- sence of eleven months, I find all law abid- ing citizens standing by the ruling of the Court of Cessation. The revision of Drey- fus is opposed only by aati-republic hunt ters of females and fortunes.

that something unusual had occurred or was about to occur. The countess wore dress of light silk with large hat; she car Ied pink parasol.
 When President Loubet arrived in his car riage with his friends the Castellane party seemed displeased. They are well known royalists. opposed to Dreyfus and in love with the French army. The sight of Lou bet, who favors Dreyfus, was the signal for hissing, and the president of the French republic was greeted with cries of "A bas Loubet," Down with Loubet," while at the same time were shouts of "Vive L'Armee."
 At the end of the first race, so the story goes, the countess sprang out of her seat, and started across the lawn shouting "Vive L'Armee" A crowd of young aristocrats followed her echoing her cry. Soon she was Joan of Arc leading the hostile hosts against the administration.
 The president withdrew from the races the countess resumed her seat and all went we'll for the remainder of the afternoon.
 The next day the American colony critl- cised the conduct of the countess so sharp ly that the count came out with letter to the public in which he denied that his wife led the shouting multitude.
 The young woman who has thus so close ly identified herself with the royalist in- terests of France is New Yorker by birth. The youngest daughter of Jay Gould, the man who made millions in twenty years. she came into an immense fortune upon the death of her father in 1893.
 At the age of IS Anna Gould married Count Boni de Castelane, and during the four years that have elapsed since then the couple have led very happy lives, frequent reports to the contrary notwithstanding. At one time the couple was said to have separated over a quarrel arising from a necklace, but this was denied by George Gould brother of the countess.
 It is only fair to state that, from per sonal viewpoint the marriage has been a very successful one.
 The countess succeeded at once in placing herself in the best French society, dit- ficult matter, when one reflects that Paris is led by royalistic society which despises new corners and looks upon office holders of the French republic as parvenu. But the young countess stepped right over all social barriers and became a, leader. TIC still further endear herself to the royalists she built an exact copy of Marie Antoi. nette's home in the heart of Paris, so that those who long for the return of the days of the French kings and queens can be treated to the sight of the famous palace in their midst.

than though they were of the type of sud- den politician who works for election in order to carry off a share of the spoil.
 The countess. during her residence in France, has learned French until she now speaks it with scarcely an accent She un- derstands idomatc French and is in ap- pearance, speech and sentiment one of her adopted country.
 It is likely that she has now a difficult role before her, for she has incurred the enmity of tho Drevfusites. who are sudden- ly very strong. They are backed by Loubet ard are. possibly, half of France.
 Zola he of the trenchant pen, has opened his lips and wtotcI his weapon against tre countess: |r3 in a recent interview with The Age-Iierald correspondent he said almost these words:

for she knows that Louis XIX. would re- ward the count for his services in restoring him, and would undoubtedly make him a prince and possibly elevate the family to royalty through some ancient connection with the royal house of France, which the Castellanes claim. "The Prince and Prn- cess Castellane" would make high sounding titles pleasing both to French and Ameri- can ears.
 Never a political woman in her own coun- try, and allied to a set that does not regard politics for women in a favorable light, the Countess Castellane has, nevertheless, taken deep interest in politics since her

stances and luck of the man.
 The countess in all her sensations abroad has never had her name connected unpleas- antly with any of these French gentlemen, and it is to be noted that at the race track episode she led "Jeunesse Royalsts," which were young ladies and gentlemen.
 The feeling of the people of France, es- pecially the titled ones, to have their mon- archy restored is no wonder. Titles are unpopular in a republic and the families who have enjoyed great prestige for centu- ries, and have rendered long service to tho crown, suddenly find themselves no better off in point of favor from the government

Paris, June 24.-Al Paris Is still talking oyer the wild escapade of Sunday, June 4 in which an American girl figured promi- nently.
 The story, as it goes here, Is that Anna, Countess Castellane, accompanied her hus- band, Count Boni de Castellane, to the Au- teuil races on Sunday afternoon. There were to be some great events and the grand stand and open field were crowded. The count and countess, accompanied by d great party of friends, arrived early in car lIagcs. As soon as they took their seats they became the center of a whispering crowd, from whom it soon became evident

straightlaced shudder at and envy, too; for in it all there is a hint of happiness, such as the good Lord must have wished his creatures to enjoy in this, the beautiful world, but which, alas, they so seldom have the heart and chance to do.
 Frenchmen at the races are positively unique. Such a daredevil, laughing, shouting, pushing, gambling, drinking, yet courteous admixture will never be seen elsewhere. Even in their dress they differ from the Frenchmen of the boulevards. The most noticeable thing about French

arrival in France. A daughter of a repub- lie, imbued with strong republican princi- pies, she found herself suddenly seated in the very midst of the strongest royalist family in Europe.
 The Castellanes have been noted for gen. erations for their devotion to the king; and Count Boni of the present generation was not the first one to be arrested for his ioy alty. Three times during the melee of that Sunday the slender blonde count was ar rested by an officer of the peace but, pleading the privilege of a deputy, he was

allowed to go free. Immediately, upon lib- eration, he led the shouting for "Vive L. Armee."
