may be, however, certain circumstances
which explain the deed and modify the
bitter condemnation.
While not condoning Arnold's treason
Mr.. TODD emphasizes his invaluable serv-
ices to America, and shows cOncluSively
that he four times saved the carse OF the
Colonies: first at the battle of Valcour's
Island on Lake Champla1n (the first naval
battle, by the way, in which our arms
were engaged), where, by his desperate
valor, he gave the British such whole
some respect for American arms that
they gave up their plan Of invasion from
the north that year; second, by raising

Valley and putting to fight ST Legers

withdrawing to Halfway Rock, where at

OBJECT OF THE MANEUvERs.
Secretary Moody Says War Is Played
to Learn Men and Omcers.

HAVERHILL. Mass, Aug. 2s.-Secretary
of the Navy Moody was the chief guest of
the boards of trade of the cities of the Mer-
rimac valley in Groveland to-day, and spoke
briefly on the navy and the present policy
Of the administration. Referring to the
present war maneuvers, the secretary said:
'They are not for show or spectacle. The
fact that they a spectacle is the chief
objection to them, but they are to train the
officers and men because there is no other
way in which they be so well trained.
There is an especial interest in these ma
neuvers for the people of New England
South of the Potomac there are few deep
harbors, but as you come north the number
and depths of habors increase until between
Provincetown and Eastport, there are more
deep harbors than on other parts of our
coast line. This is the most vulnerable part
of our coast line, and because of the fact
that upon each harbor stands a populous
city, representing in population and prop
erty vast interests of the Nation, IL becomes
a part of the Nations duty to defend that
property, and so these maneuvers being
held off this coast in order that the officers
and men in our fleet may be trained TO the
defense of these cities and may have the
opportunity by actual experience to learn
the lesson which can be taught in no other
way

DISASTER BARELY AVERTED.
Runaway Train at Lafayette Caused
short Panic.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Aug 26-Flying
down the steep grade, across the Wabash
river bridge and around the sharp turn at
the Big Four depot amid the screams and
screeches of the wheels, which were locked
in the embrace of the brake, Big Four
freight No. 9S, came near repeating the aw-
full tragedy of ten years ago this month at
the same point. Then train crashed into
the depot, which was crowded with pas
sengers, and killed several people This
time it was by accident, rather than due
to any act of those aboard the train, that
tragedy was averted.
At the top of a hill across the valley the
engineer. Newton Campbell, found the air
going at the rate of forty miles an hour
and he had just begun to slow down for the
steep grade in the cut. The train dashed
through the cut and the engine whistled for
brakes. The crew turned on the brakes as
fast as possible but the momentum of the
train by that time was such as TO disre-
gard the pressure the wheels.
Those in the station, in whose minds still
lived the tragedy of decade ago, ran for
cover. and the train dashed off the bridge
upper side of the grade i'm some places
raised from the rail and the train shud-
dered and shook with the pressure of the
brakes and the motion of the turn. Almost
a mile father down the train came to a
dead stop.
