ROASTS R. R. IN
AMERICA
SAYS LITTLE ATTENTION is Civ.
EN- TO THE VALUE OF HUI
MAN LIFE BY RAILROADS
IN UNITED STATES.

LONDON, Oct 22.-The report of II. A.
Walker, the expert sent by the London
and Northwestern railroad to America in
order to investigate railroad conditions
there, has been published. Mr.. Walker
sums up as follows:
1T will be seen from the figures before
you that the American companies have
nothing to boast of in the safety either
OF their passengers or employees. On the
contrary human life seems to be consid-
cred Of much less Importance there than
here, and / am of the opinion that in
this respect the British railway officials
have nothing whatever to learn from
their American confreres."
Mr.. Walker brings figures showing that
twice as many passengers are carried on
the United Kingdom lines as on the
American, though the latter have nine
times greater mileage while American
figures show a much larger proportion of
accidents and fatalities to passengers and
employees. The large number of accidents
at crossings receives considerable men
ton. Mr.. Walker attributes the larger
proportion of accidents I'm America TO al
most general absence of block working"
and to the fact that the permanent way is
neither laid nor maintained in the efficient
manner usually adopted by the British
railways.
he says lldl IN the B6HeFdANy VI vases
there is no protection at all at the level
crossings. u
The English expert believes that the
agitation going on in Great Britain for
the adoption of the automatic Couplings
used in America is not justified Icy facts,
the old-fashioned screw couplings show
ing a smaller percentage of accidents to
employees.
Curiously enough the same day that
this justification of the British railroad
system appears The Times Saturday re-
view prints a letter from a well known
engineer in which the writer makes an
urgent plea for the adoption of automatic
couplings and quotes the interstate COM
merce commissions figures as showing
that a decrease in the number of acct
dents had resulted ttherefrom. The en-
gineer declares that millions are lost TO
British shareholders by the failure of the
roads in Great Britain to adopt up-to-
rate safety appliances and concludes
with saying: 1T is the system in the
United Kingdom which is at fault" and
urges the government to take action to
compare the roads to what Americans
have done.
I'm that way alone" he says, 'can rail-
way shareholders ever hope for years to
reap the undouDted advantages and Pc
cuniary benefits which long ago should
have been their portion"

FINED 500 FOR
INSULT TO LADY

AUGUSTA, Ca. Oct. 22-In the record
er's court yesterday a fine of 500 or 30
DAYS was imposed on James Edwards.
One night last week Conductor Murray,
with his wife on Broad street, was met
by Edwards, who was drunk. He grabbed
Mrs. Murray by the arm and made an in
sulting remark to her. Murray paid him
with the words: ''This is my wife" when
Edmonds drew pistol, which, however.
was knocked out of his hand before he
could use it by bystander, Mr.. j. w.
Hill In the confusion which followed
Edwards escaped.
On Monday he surrendered himself to
the police. His plea was that he was
drunk, did not intend to insult the lady
but staggered against her and did not
remember drawing his pistol. He was
defended by Mr.. ]. J. Zachry, Esq, and
has appealed for new trial.

REJECTION OF TREATY
CAUSED NO SURPRISE

WASHINGTON, Oct 22.-The state de-
partment was today advised of the action
of the landsthing IN rejecting the treaty
of cession. The action caused little sur
prise, for as already Indicated in these
dispatches, the advices received from Co
penhagen indicated that the fate Of the
treaty hung on the slenderest thread, and
only in case the treaty could be brought
to a vote before members of the land
sthing who were IN had 50 far recovered
as to be able to attend the session, would
it be possible to succeed with the meas
ure From the press account of the vote,
it appears that one of these i'll members
unexpectedly appeared and turned the
tide.
The officials here are not precisely adj
vised as to the legislative possibilities in
Denmark, but even assuming that today's
action Is final for the present session, they
are disposed to view the situation philo-
sophically, resting in the belief that 1t
viii be only short time before Denmark
will tire of making good a deficiency in
the revenues of the islands and let us have
them.

"BLUE-EYED HARRY" AGAIN
IN CARE OF THE POLICE

ken TO the bookmaker for Identification,
and Detective Steint, upon picking it up,
found it to be the five-eent piece that
had caused the trouble.

FOUGHT HARD FOR LIFE,
BUT DEATH WAS VICTOR

WASHINGTON. oct. 29.-After lowering
between life and death since last Decem-
Der, Mrs. Ada Gilbert Dennis, the victim
of one of the most mysterious assaults in
the history of the District of Columbia,
died at the Garfield hospital, in this city,

Dennis came here from Gettysburg, Pa,
and married Walter Dennis, a Washing
ton actor.
She was found December 18th insensible
In her bedroom. Her skull was crushed,
and various theories were advanced as to
the motives for the crime, but no definite
clew was ever obtained. She never recov-
cred sufficiently to talk nationally.

For the Boys From
GaIIipolis.
AN UNINTEREsTING GAME.
And was Witnessed by a Small
Audience.
SUPERIORITY AGAIN DEMONSTRATED
BY the Champions. The Team From the
Lower Ohio Is not in
Our Class.
SUPERIORITY AGAIN DEMONSTRATED

For the second time In succession
the Sistersville team administered
a dose of goose eggs to the Gallipo-
lis team at the Association park
yesterday afternoon. The fact that
on the day previous the visitors
went into the game tired from a
long ride and a restless night and
the further fact that they would
use their best pitcher, who had just
kept the crack ,Circleville team
down to one hit, caused consider
able interest to be manifested in the
game yesterday. A close contest
was expected. While no one
would predict defeat for the home
aggregation, no one anticipated
another shut out, and especially by
such a score as six to nothing.
The game had not progressed far,
however, until the spectators
realized that the defeat of Thursday
was not so much because of the
WEAKNESS of the visitors, but be-
cause they were outclassed. They
were up against the real thing, and
realized that fact yesterday after
noon.
The visitors are especially weak
In the field. No less than eight er.
rors were counted against them,
and the official scorer, was very
lenient at that Several more would
have been tailed had the record
been strictly kept. The fact that
not one of the runs secured by the
Sistersville boys was earned dem
onstrates the looseness Of the field
Ing on the other side. Had they
gone after the ball with the same
speed and certainty that our boys
did, the game might have been 60
Ing on yet.
The pitching of Deibold was ex.
ceptionally good. He Is one Of the
best yet seen on the home grounds.
Collins was equally effective. The
feature of the game was the field
Ing of Murphy In the field for the
home team and of Quinn for the
visitors. Each received ovations
for destroying what seemed Ger.
tain hits.
The play of the home team was
the real thing and will win games
anywhere.
The same teams play again to-
day.
The following Is the score:
