BIG ENGINE Is SPEEDY.
Special Train of Colorado Excursionists
Tests New Locomotive.

Railway men of all classes are
watching with much interest the
tests of the 1920 series of engines
of the Rock Island road, the largest
running out Of Chicago In passenger
service. Engine No. 1901 was given
its first severe test for power and
speed last week. The patrons of the
Rock Islands first excursion to Colo
RADIO occupied fourteen of the largest
enough for TWO trains to be pulled by
ordinary passenger engines of the day
considering the speed required. The
big engine did all that was expected
of it and more. Between Chicago and
Rock Island it pulled that train OF
fourteen coaches with ease on sched-
ule time, and when called on for a
little extra effort developed speed Of
over ~ miles an hour.
Engines OF that class will haul all
the special trains which will be used
by the Rock Island in its series of
Colorado excursions, at the rate Of
one fare plus 81 90 for the round trip.

WILL STAY AT GRAFTON.
Official Announcement as TO Company's
Intentions Grafton Is Excited but is
now SOOthed.


A short time ago dispatch came
out from Baltimore apparently from
official sources tating that the
shops were TO be removed from Graf
ton to Fairmont and Clarksburg and
that other changes were 60 be made
in the economy OF the road This
was apparently straight and many
people believed it.
In Grafton it gave rise To great UNI
easiness and the people up there were
greatly stirred up over it. That they
were troubled needlessly the following
special from Baltimore will show;
BALTIMORE, Md, August I6. AT
the office of Vice President Under
wood, of the Baltimore 4 Ohio rail-
road, yesterday, it was stated by Mr..
j. III. Maddy, assistant TO Mr.. Under
wood, that there was no truth in the
report that the company's shops would
be removed from Grafton, w. Va. a
special dispatch 10 the Sun from Graf
ton, published yesterday, showed that
there was considerable uneasiness ex-
listing in that city over report that
the division headquarters and shops
were to be moved from Grafton to
ClarksbuIg and Fairmont.

that this was too high an estimate
unless there happens TO be wonder
full rush, as is just possible, towards
the end. But suppose, 10000, 600
strangers visit Paris, and suppose
each visitor spends $50, no extrava-
CANT calculation; the result will be a
total OF $500, 900, 600 most of which
will stay in Paris. Besides, there are
the takings OF the railways and the
steamships: so that from this point OF
view the Exposition must do very
well. Again, look at what will be
left 10 France and Paris when the
Exposition is over. The new bridge
over the Seine, Pont Alexander Ill,
is by itself noble heritage aud by
far the most artistic and graceful
public editice, If it may be so called,
in the Exposition And then there
are the Palaces of the Fine Arts and
the magnificent boulevard from the
Champs Elysees right down to the
Invalides. But there are several
other permanent features, additions
to the comfort or to the beauty of
Paris-and II they, with what / have
specified, are taken into account, one
must admit the Exposition of 1900 to
be something more than a success.

THREE ACCIDENTS.
Raymond MADEIRA Painfully
Hurt Thursday Morning
Horse Kicks a Pitchfork and Drives
Tine into His Thigh--NI Miss Weible

Blosser Thrown by Horse and Bad
~ Injured.

~ Injured.
Raymond MADEIRA was painfully
injured on Thursday morning hv d
horse. He was attending to the
animal and was passing in the rear Of
him with pitchfork in his hand
when the horse kicked. The kick
landed on the fork and one of the
tines was driven into Mr. MADEIRA 5
thigh with great force.
A physician was at once summon
ed and the wound dressed. 1t was
a very ugly one and is giving the
wounded man a great deal of pain.
Several days will have to elapse be.
fore it is found how serious the
hurt is but If blood poisoning does
not set in he will be we'll again
shortly.
A Miss Weible who is employed
at the Seneca Glass Factory is very
badly hurt as result of fall while
at work. She slipped in some man
ner and fell on some glassware. The
glass caught the calf of her leg and
cut it terribly. A large number of
stitches were required to sew it up.
Drs. Brock and McLane was call
ed and are waiting on her. 1t will
be some time before she RECEIVERS
from the mishap.
A grandson OF Ike Blosser was in.
jured in runaway ON Wednesday
afternoon. He was riding when the
horse ran away with him and after
a while succeeded in throwing him.
The boy is thirteen years of age.
The fall was severe one and his
arm was dislocated at the elbow. A
number Of minor injuries were re-
eelved at the same time. None of
these are serious and he was not in
cured internally as at first thought.
1t is not known now the animal took
fright.

LILLY TALKS
About the Tragedy at Fairmont
Saturday.
Sorry he Was net able to Hit His As.
sailants-Downey Recovering -Spe-
ciai Grand Jury TO be Called-Mem-
orandum Book Saves Lilly's Life
Shooters Said to be Professionals.

FAIRMoNT, w. Va, Aug. 15.-Ex-
element over the assault upon Henry
Downe and Charles Lilly, the Balti-
more & Ohio employees, has disap-
peared. This is due to the fact that
Downey continues to improve and ev-
cry indication is that he will pull
through without difficulty. 1t is
feared that one of the bullets pune
tured the bowels and if such is the
case Inflammation may prove fatal.
The physicians state, however, that
careful nursing can prevent such a
catastrophe and the B. & o. railroad
company has secured the services of a
trained nurse for Downey.
Lilly is painfully, but not seriously,
hurt. A bullet is still embedded in
the bone of his left arm and he will
probably have TO go to Baltimore
hospital to have it extracted. The
wound over his heart is little more
than bruise. Lilly, while still con-
fined to his bed, is able to receive WIS.,
itors and can talk intelligently of the
affair. He said to a reporter:
II 90 not know how come to miss
those two men. When we overlook
them we had clear shot at them and
fired three or four shots at the big
negro but missed him every time. |
am sorry | missed for | might have
been able to save Downey's life.
"They did not get me on the first
shot, but they would have had me
sure If it had not been for the memoir
andum book in my left inside coat
pocket. The bullet struck this book
right over my heart and bruised but
did not penetrate the skin. The ball
was found in my drawers, where it
had fallen"
The physicians have forbidden
Downey's talking. He is able to take
nourishment and is extremely con-
scious, but is suffering extreme pain.
Mrs. Downey has been watching at
his bedside constantly As might be
expected, she is rather disappointed
that the crowd which went after the
two men failed to secure them.
Judge Mason intends to call spe-
cial meeting of the Marion county bar
to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of calling
special grand jury to consider the
Indictment of the two negroes. He
announces, however, that the case
will not be tried until public feeling
subsidies and the men can obtain
fair and impartial trial.
Both Lilly and Downey are married.
and have been in the service of the
Baltimore & Ohio several years
Lilly is detective and has been in
strumental in running down many
criminals, but was never fired upon
before Downey is night yardmaster
at Fairmont.
The colored assailants, Albert
Thorn and George Campbell who are
now at Wheeling, are said TO be habit
ual criminals. Since their arrest de-
tecoives of the Pennsylvania system
have asked for descriptions Of the two
men, believing they are the parties
who killed one Of their brakemen near
Pittsburg not long ago. If Downey
does not die the two men may be
turned over to the Pennsylvania au-
thorities for trial for murder.

VERY EASY PREY
Was a Rich Ohio Man For
Sharpers.

Bnnko Men DO a smooth Turn at Sis.
tersyille and Make $500 Cash Same
Old Game with Very Slight varia-
ton.
SIsTERsviLLE, August 15.-Joseph
Witten, prosperous farmer of
Witten's Landing, opposite this
city on the Ohio side, was swindled
out of $500 in this city yesterday
afternoon by couple OF confidence
men, who drove here in rig hired
at Carson Bros stables at Mata-
moras and registered at Hosford's
hotel as G. w. Dudley, of Wheeling,
and A. II. McFerren, of New York
City.
One OF these men made the ac-
quaintance of Witten several weeks
ago under the name of Frank Moon.
ey, wealthy and influential oil and
business man Of Woodsiield. Moon
ey was we'll known to Witten by rep
utation and the pseudo bearer Of
the name readily won the farmers
confidence.
Yesterday, the swindler using
Moneys name came to this city
with his pal. ostensible from Woods
field, and from here the former went
to Witten's home, returning with the
victim and later driving with him
to the Il. F. Russell farm, north of
the city, which property the bunco
man profesed to be negotiating for.
While inspecting the farm the two
were joined by MONEYS confeder-
ate.
Subsequent to the visit To the
property Mooney contidentially in
formed Witten that he was short
$500 Of the purchase price and re-
quested the loan of that amount IL
the deal went through. Having ex-
plicit confidence in Frank Mooney,
the farmer fell into the trap unhes
itatingly and drew the sum from
his deposit in the Tyler County
Bank.
This money was taken along on
the trip to the property, which was
inspected by tile three men. Moon
ey finally decided not to close the
deal until evening and told Witten
to return home promising to call
upon the farmer in the evening and
give security for the loan While
this conversation was being held
Mooney placed Witten's money in 4
hand bag, which he took from the
wagon, and then apparently gave
the same bag to the unsuspecting
man offering in explanation that the
money could be more conveniently
carried if so enclosed
The same old game was worked,
and an empty satchel OF the same
kind substituted for the one con-
tanning the money. Upon reaching
home Mr.. Witten's daughter per-
sisted that the man with whom her
father was dealing was not the real
Mr.. Mooney, and her persistence 4
nally aroused the suspicion Of the
old gentleman who then examined
the satchel and came face to face
with the bitter truth. He returned
to this city with all possible haste
but the crooks had LETT by train with
their ll-gotten riches and there II
no clue to their whereabouts.
