Yesterday and Today.

The methods OF yesterday are not
those of to-day; the style OF a genera
tion ago are undesirable In the pres.
ent. Houses which, a decade ago
seemed possessed of every point of de.
STABILITY and feature of beauty, are,
very often, found inferior to those
erected nowadays.
We would like to show you draw.
ings of some of the beautiful and thor.
oughly up-to-date buildings we have
designed. They demonstrate the
painstaklng care we give TO every de
tail inside and out, great and small.
We have no use for hackeyed ideas
and unprogressive methods, but seek
instead to be. wholly modern.
A thorough familiarity with what
is being done in architecture the
world over, enables us to avoid the er
rors of others and profit by what has
proven successful.
Tell us all about the home you have
in mind LET us prepare sketches of
a home which shall indeed be u home.
This involves no expense to you.

BAD WRECK Al LONG RUN.
Freight Engine and Sixteen Cars
Jumped the Track Sunday.

West-bound freight train No. 81 on
the Baltimore s. Ohio railroad was
wrecked at five O'Clock Sunday morn
ing at the foot Of the heavy grade at
Long Run. The engine jumped the
track just as It reached the foot of the
grade, after going down at rapid
speed and sixteen cars Of merchandise
followed. Most of the cars were de-
molished and the loss to the company
was very heavy. The track was
blocked for nearly twelve hours. No
person was seriously hurt.
The freight was speeding along at
about thirty miles an hour when the
wheels OF the second car from the en-
CINE left the rails. In an instant the
cars piled on top OF each other while
many OF them rolled down thirty
foot embankment, ths wreck occurring
on a steep hill.
The engine and the car following
were all that were left on the track,
the rest being piled up. The damages
to the rolling stock will be heavy as
the greater part of the cars were al
most completely demolished. Many
of them rolled down the embankment
and were literally torn to pieces, while
the Others we're piled up on the track,
badly twisted, broken and wrecked be-
You'd repair.
The track was torn up for several
hundred feetand the debris was piled
so high and crushed into such an al
most inextrlcable mass that IT was
many hours before it could be cleared
away sufficiently to allow the resump-
tion Of traffic,

and brakeman Towner was miracu.
lous. When the crash came they were
seated in the caboose. When they felt
the shock and realized the impending
danger it was too late to make any
effort to save themselves. The caboose
turned completely over and its occu-
pants we're hurled from one end of the
car to the other. The car was reduced
almost to splinters. The floor was
torn out and the sides and ends were
mashed in and broken. How they es-
capped Messrs, Harshbarger and Town
er are unable to say. But they did
and are happy in the fact that when
they crawled out from under the mass
Of twisted iron and broken timbers,
they had received nothing worse than
few bruises and a bad shaking up.
The loss to the company will be
nearly $4,000. Most of the wrecked
cars were loaded with coal and their
contents will be saved.

An Engineers Good Luck.

Patrick Maloney, the we'll known
freight engineer running between
Grafton and Parkersburg, bought some
years ago from Col. Luther Raymond,
Of this city, 100 acres of land near
Long Run for $500. 1t seemed God
forsaken, but it promises him for
tune. He recently sold the coal under
it for ST. 800 and a few days ago refus-
ed an offer of $4,000 cash for half the
oil royalty. 1t has not been tested
but is surrounded by good producers
and is regarded valuable oil territory.

HILLS HEIRS LOCATED
Old Man Was Salem Charles of

trio Character.

Los Angeles, Cal, July 19.-The mys-
terry surrounding the identity of man
known as Charles HILL who died in
the Good Samaritan hospital in this
city on May II, leaving $142. 600 in cash,
has been. solved. His real name was
Salem Charles. and his home was at
Brimfield, Mass
The story of the search for heirs by
the public administrator and his at
torney, Leon Moss, is interesting. Aft
er following UP innumerable alleged
sclues." all of which came to naught
Administrator Kellogg found among
the old mans effects an old family BIZ
bic. on the fly leaf OF which was writ
ten sentences almost faded and rem
dered illegible by age. The writing
was magnified and the name of
Charles and Brine" Mass, were
deciphered. Attorney Moss went to
Brimfeld. Mass, and without disclos-
ing his identity. found a family named
Charles. which had been prominent in
that locality for 200 years After a
thorough investigation, Moss convinced
himself that he had found the family
of the deceased.
There are eight direct heirs to the
estate, the moss prominent of whom is
Salem Darius Charles, chairman of the
board of street commissioners, Boston.
Old man Salem Charles had always
been an eccentric character. and no
reason has been found for his change
of name. He is said to have made his

giving no thought TO what lay beFySr-
him. Robertson, across the hall, nerv-
ously paced the floor. his brow knitted
as II in deep meditation.
Robertson refused to discuss his case
at all, saying that he had no state
ments to make as yet. He remarked
that the sentence was light, but when
asked what he proposed to do when
released from the penitentiarv. he
shook his head and would not reply.
Asked again about what he intended to
do regarding his position in the city
council, he replied, Il have nothing to
say on that matter as yet"
It is understood, though, that his
resignation viii be sent in TO the colIn-
ell Monday night. Duke talked more
freely about his case.
Il didn't expect TO get a very heavy
sentence. said he. but 1 wouldn't
care what happened if il were not for
my wife As for me, it makes no diff
ference, but it is hard 70 see her have
to suffer on account Of it,
In talking of the bank, he said he
expected to see a complete reorganiza-
ton OF it within thirty days, and he
expected to see Dooly go out of il in
that time In regard TO what he ex-
poets to do when released from prison.
he said he had not thought Of it yet,
but would have plenty of time before
fought the case, but he could not af-
ford it, and thought that It was per-
haps best to have It settled the way
1t had been.
The suddenness with which the case
was, disposed OF caused rumors that
a compromise had been effected in
some way This the district attorney
and the attorneys for the defense deny.
Mr.. Eichnor stated that he had brought
UP the case Immediately so That the
prisoners would not have a chance to
back out of their intention to plead
guilty
IT is usual said he, ''in cases
where the defendant pleads guilty TO
make the sentence light. and that was
what was done in this case. There
was no understanding or compromise
of any kind. 1 believe that the ends
of Justice have been sJIbserved. and
am glad that it has been settled as
it has
Attorney Lippman, for Robertson,
said there had been no understanding
about the sentence at an, but that the
conduct of the prisoners in pleading
guilty and not doing anything 70 bar
the progress of the law, had been
justly rewarded by a light sentence.
He said that they had decided TO plead
guilty because il would have raised
too big sensation 70 have gone into
the case in details, and he thought it
was better as it was
There was also a Fumor that Duke
and Robertson had settled with the
bank This Mr.. Dolly denied, and
stated that they had not made good
anything except what their bonds COW
cred. Mr.. Dooly smilingly denied re-
port that he had sent in his resigna-
ton. and declares that he wouldn't
resign until he was elected senator"
The two prisoners are allowed five
days by the law TO remain IN the coun-
" lail before being sent to the peni-
Tertiary. and as they want to remain
in the city and see some of their
friends before donning the stripes, they
have been accorded that privilege. They
will probably go to the state prison
Monday or Tuesday
