AN ENGINEERS MISTAKE
Causes an Awful Wreck on the
ID. 81 o., Ohio River Division.

Causes an Awful Wreck on the
b. 81 o., Ohio River Division.
Six persons were Injured in a
headend collision between two
passenger trains on the o. Z. di-
vision of this road last Wednesday
morning. at 11:04 o'clock. The
trains came together at the south
end of the siding at James Lane,
three quarters of a mile south of
Waverly.
No one one was killed, but one
is il a serions condition and will
likely die. The injured are:
j. K Queen, of Marietta, an oil
operator; his back is terribly
wrenohed, and it is thought he is
injured internally.
Mrs f. B. Wagner. of Ravens
wood; bad cut on forehead and se-
we're bruises on side of head.
Fireman Ed. Want, of Parkers.
burg; slightly bruised about the
legs.
Baggage Master John 'Kincaid, of
Point Pleasant, painful bruises
about the head and body.
Little Sybal Harris. of Newport,
Ohio, severe bruises and outs about
the body.
Hattie Rifle. bruises about the
face, and teeth knocked out.
Both the firemen jumped to the
ground when the engines were
within few feet of each other,
and Want. on the Northbound,
injured himself slightly when he
struck the ground. The other,
John Boyles, of Parkersburg, was
more lucky, and escaped with hard
ly a scratch.
Both engineers remained at their
post, and to that fact is partially
due the saving of many lives.
The front of both engines were
mashed in and the enginemen had
narrow escapes, but they probably
saved dozens of lives by doing
Their duty. The tenders on both
engines were telescoped onto the
rear of the engines, and when that
is considered, it is, indeed, miracu-
lous that both the engineers were
not instantly killed.
The crews of the two trains were
composed of the following persons;
Southbound-Engineer, 81. s.
Miller, of Wheeling; Conductor
Vic Stewart, of Wheeling; Fire
man, John Boyles, of Petersburg;
Brakeman, VIM Morehad, of Sis.

thing that in the short time that
has elapsed since that stand there
should have been so great change
of front in the part of the Ameri-
can executive as is now witnessed.
And yet the causes of it are not
hard to discover, and the chief one
is our absurd cultivating of special
friendly relations with Great Brit
ain. at the outbreak of the Span.
ish-American war President Mo-
KinIey showed an almost puerile
alarm about the attitude of Euro
pean powers. and Great Britain
seized the opportunity to parade
her alleged friendship for us by
..protecting us from foreign inter
vention," when we had in fact not
the slightest need of protection,
Then we reciprocated by showing
our friendship for Great Britain
during the disgraceful overthrow
of the Boer republics, thus mixing
ourselves up in transatlantic affairs.
We did this also to some extent in
China.
Now our executive has apparent
ly been led into a most embsrrass.
ing situation by weakly accepting
assurances of good intent from
Great Britain, who now openly re-
pudiates the peaceful blockade"
explanation and says that she is
making war on Venezuela.
But at the same time Great Brit
ain is doing worse. She is fomsnt-
ing and aiding instructions in
Venezuela, 1t is not necessary
that she should land troops in Ven
ezuela to control the destiny" OF
that state. She is furnishing arms
and ammunition to the insured
tionists, and there is nothing to
prevent her subjects in British
Guiana and Trinidad from voluu-
teering in the revolutionary armies
while her ships are destroying Ven
ezuels's naval forces and occupying
her naval forces and OCCUPYING he1
soldiery.
By this simple program any Lat.
in-American state can easily be
put under control of a strong
European power. All that is nt oes.
sary is to encourage a revolution
and set up cause for a quarrel on
the seacoast, which can be easily
found in any South American state
when the collection of "claims" is
recognized as a just cause for war
And it need not be doubted that
the precedent thus set will be Gag
erly followed, for astute European
statesmen would gladly change the
scene of their contentious from the
other continents to ours, where
spheres of influence" have not YET
been portioned out, and there is 6
chance for every greedy one tc
grab.
AS matters stand at present We
are reaping the first bitter fruits Of
imperial aspirations and European
alliance We have made a long
step toward surrending the indie
pendence and primary in this hemi
sphere which have been the great
est sources of our strength anc
true greatness. Unquestionably
we have lost much of our standing
in the friendly opinion of the PEG
pie of Central and South America
which was our best guarantee o.
commercial growth in that direc
ton. And uuquestionably we dc
stand where we did but a short tim,
ago in the respect of the European
powers. What the outcome viii
be is already affording matter TO
serious consideration by thought
full Americans.

The Greenbrier Independent
suggests that the salaries of state
officers and judges be fixed as fol-
lows: Governor, $4,000; Auditor,
$1,000; Judges, of the Supreme
Court of appeals, $500; Circuit
Judges, $500. This is an in.
crease of from 80 to rs per cent.
over present salaries. Yet the
Charleston Mail thinks these fig
ures too low. 1t suggests that
many lawyers make more out OF
their practice than the pay named
for the judges. This is true but
the lawyers who are making SO
much out of their practice do not
run for judge. Because some
lawyers make more prscticing is
no reason for paying other lawyers
several times more than they can
earn $500 year is big pay fcr

not be fixed to suit this ability
