A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Little Ethel Edmonds' Life Crushed
Out Meath the Wheels of An
Electric Car


Yesterday afternoon, about 6:15
o'clock electric car No. S, of the Port
Norfolk railway, with G.. T. Wright as
conductor. and Joseph Rhodes as mo-
torman, left the corner of High and
Water streets for Park View. Every
thing went along smoothly until they
reached the corner Of Webster avenue
and b street. At this point the car
turns; there is u platform there, and
on this platform little Ethel Edmonds.
the year-old daughter of Mr..
James Edmonds, stood. The motor
man says that he saw her. and just as
he got within three or four feet of her
she attempted to run across the track
and was knocked down. The fender on
the side of the car struck her, breaking
one leg and crushing her head so bad
ly that She died few hours afterward.
AS soon as the accident happened the
car, which was moving quite slowly,
was stopped. The little one was picked
up and carried to her home near by.
DR.. f. S. Hope was summoned, and did
all he could to relieve her. but her con-
dition was so critical that she died Il
few hours afterWard.
PLACED UNDER ARREST.
The two men were placed under ar
rest by Substitute Officer Elliott. and
carried to the station house. The Viz
ginian-Pilot representative saw MessN.
Wright and Rhodes. and, they state
positively that the accident could no;
have been avoided, as they saw the
child and had no idea that she would
attempt to run across the track. They
were very much affected and expressed
regrets that it should have occurred
They claim that there were several per-
sons who saw, the child when she at
tempted to cross the track. They will
be held until they are bailed out by
the court, probably to-day.
DIR. HOPES STATEMENT.
DR.. Hope was seen, and said that the
wheels of the car passed over. the child
Her limbs were badly torn: n piece OF
flesh was torn out above the kidney
and pieces of shell were ground into
the flesh, and had to be pulled out
There -'set'e-sereFal- cuts on the head
She was unconscious UP to the time OF
her death, but at times talked beauti-
fully.
Her death is a heavy blow to the
family and TO her friends, who are nu.
merous. as by her sweet. gentle dispo-
sition. she made n host of friends. Tho
accident is indeed n sad one, and the
expressions of regret and sorrow are
general.

Bound, Gagged and Robbed.

Frank Diehl and his mother, who
live on a farm in Turbot township.
near Sunbury, were the victims Thurs
day evening Of bold robbery. As
the latter was emerging from his barn
he was met by FIVE men. who after
engaging him in conversation, threw
him to the ground. bound his hands
and legs and placed 4 gag in his mouth.
In that condition they carried him to
the house. where they encountered
his mother. Placing Mrs. Diehl in a
chair and her son on the floor, one
man, armed with a pistol, was left to
guard them, while the others ransack-
ed the house. Their tour of the place
netted them $500, which they found
in the bed rooms of their victims.
After the departure of the robbers,
Mrs. Diehl released her son, aud de-
tectives were notified.

The New 2. 4 r. Uniforms.

The officials of the Reading Rail
way have decided to change the style
OF the winter uniforms Of their en-
ployes, which promises to make de-
clded improvement.
The suit will resemble the style OF
the Pullman car employees, and will be
Of the regulation color. The brake
mans and baggagemasters uniform
will be single instead OF double breast
ed sack coats with the mcclellan
collar instead Of the present turn down
collar. The uniforms of the station
agents will be single breasted cutaway
coats, instead OF the double breasted
Prince Albert. The change in the
uniforms will be an improvement and
the make up of the train hands will be
more metropolitan than heretofore.

Democrats Seem to Have Made n
Glenn Sweep.

BALTIMORE, Nov. S.-Incomplete re-
turns from the city Of Baltimore and
from the state indicate that the Repub-
licans OF Maryland have been oyerwhelm-
ingly defeated and that John Walter
Smith, the Democratic candidate, has
been elected by majority variously esti
mated at from 10000 to 1900. There is
also a reasonable certainty that the lower
house Of the general assembly will be
Democratic by large majority and that
the Democrats will elect enough state
senators to overcome the Republican ad-
vantage among the hOldover senators,
thereby controlling both branches OF the
legislature.
The Democrats are wild with enthusi-
asm, while the Republicans are corre-
spondingly depressed over the result,
which they are inclined to attribute to
treachery among the followers of Mayor
Malster and United States Senator
George l.. Wellington. The latter has
taken no part in the campaign and has
not hesitated, since his resignation as
chairman of the state central committee
few weeks ago, to predict the over
whelming defeat Of the Republican tick
ct. The Gold Democrats as an Organiza-
ton supported Governor Lowndes, but
they seem to have had but little if any
effect on the result

lily from the Democrats than from the

the election repeatedly claimed the cleo

A novel way to make sandwiches
IS to use horse-radish, grated while
fresh, instead of mustard. Spread in
a thin layer upon each buttered slice,
and the result will be found an appe-
tizing surprise.
Poultry and meat, on being served
cold, may be improved in appearance
by glazing. The process is simple.
An excellent glaze may be found by
dissolving a half ounce of gelatlne in
a pint OF water, favorng and color
ing it with extract Of beef. To be
perfectly successful, the meat must be
cold before the glaze is put on, and
the first coat should be allowed to dry
before the second is put on. The
glaze must be warm and applied with
a brush.
An oilskin bag, for towels, etc, and
a long wrap of Turkish toweling or

committee:
"The Republican state committee is
very much pleased and well satisfied
with the result. To poll about 10000
votes in an off year shows with what
favor our state ticket, headed by Mr..
Crane, was regarded by the voters Our
canvass of the state led us to estimate a
Republican vote OF 10000 if election
day was pleasant and 1920 if the
weather was bad, and the vote bears out
this canvass.

Is very handsome one and shows his
