ACCIDENT
ENDANGERED THE LIVES OF
THREE PEoPLE-A THRiLL-

Mrs: Jennie De:au1t and little
daughter, in company with Miss Ell.
vira Swisher, all of Winfield district,
while driving home from funeral
service at Mt. Zion church last Sun
day, met with an accident which
might have proved fatal to all three
of them. Upon reaching the foot of
the hill this side of the dividing ridge,
as it is called. they turned off the
main road to drive in to Willie Ba-
ker's. In doing so they made too
short turn, cranking one wheel,
which upset the buggy As it went
oyer, however, Mrs. Devault threw
her little daughter out with sufficient.
force to carry her safely beyond the
reach of the falling buggy, while
holding on to the lines of the horse
with one hand. She and Miss Swish
er were still confined within the bug
gy after the upset, which carried
them both over with it to the ground
with great violence. Other buggfes
were being driven along at the same
time, and seeing the accident. Mr.
David S. Rogers, of this city, being
nearest at hand. ieaped out and took
their horse by the head to prevent it's
running away with them. Others at
once came forward and helped to dis
entangle them from the dangerous
position. Upon getting the buggy adj
justed, and it's unfortunate occupants
out and upon their feet, it was found
that Miss Swisher's arm was broken
above the wrist, and her face and
body scratched and bruised. Mrs.
Devault and daughter escaped injury,

WILLIAMS IN
STATE PRISON

WHEELING, Aug. 4.-George w.
Williams is in the West Virginia pen.
itentiary. The man convicted at
crime upon Miss Laura Knode, com
mitted near Harpers Ferry four
weeks ago, was brought to Mounds
vile Wednesday night on the $3.50
train on the Baltimore and and Ohio
railroad, and accompanied only by the
sheriff and two deputies, was conduct
ed unharmed through the immense
crowd of people gathered at the
Moundsville station, and turned over
safe and sound to the gate keeper of
the penitentiary.
There was no attempt nor any talk
of an attempt to lynch Williams at
Moundsville Wednesday night. Salts
fed with the assurance that Williams
is in the hands Of the law and will be
executed in September in legal man
ner, the sentiment of the people,
seems to have taken a more peace
able turn. 1t was curiosity alone that
drew them to the station to see Will
liams. Williams, nevertheless, wore
the look of abject terror of man that
is doomed, and he was glad indeed
to cling closely to the sheriff who had
him in charge.
Early Wednesday it was decided
that it would not be necessary for the
militia to accompany the sheriff and
his deputies back to Moundsyille.
Consequently, the prisoner had 4
guard of only three men when he ar
rived in Moundsville. the militia hay

SALOON

BUSINESS AND WILL VOTE THE
PROHIBITION TICKET FROM
PRESIDENT DOWN.

CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-Charles Grand
proprietor of high-class saloon in
the Tacoma building, has confessed
his intentions to retire from the
liquor business and vote the Prohi-
bition ticket straight from President
to county surveyor.
Grand has a large country place
near Galva, in Knox county, and only
recently he sold his city residence
preparatory to complete retirement to
farm life.
81 suppose it sounds strange for a
saloon keeper to announce his inten-
tion of voting the Prohibition ticket
he said, as he stood behind his bar.
stThe fact is that 1 always have been
a temperate man myself and my sa-
loon has been a place OF temperate re-
freshment. I have been in the saloon
business twenty-five years and I have
yet to take my first drink of liquor.

ciples for some time,'' he continued.

| LONDON. Aug. 4.-That the deci

is the general belief III diplomatic and
military quarters this morning. The
out, forme ed sort of wedge, have
been forced by the Japanese and the
Russians have as result, contracted
into a more solid mass. This concen
trated force is retreating. but it can,
not go far without engaging In battle.
AS was stated in these dispatches
yesterday, the fight is expected at
s-Chan-Chan, to the south of Lao
Yang. The place is peculiarly we'll
adapted for strong defense, but this
strength has been more or less de-
cause of the magnificent strategy
which has been displayed in deploy-
ing the E1ilsado'5 men General K,I-
roki, with Z force estimated at 100,-
900 men. is now in front of the re-
treating Russians: General Ollu, with
$4,000 men, is behind them. while
General Nodzu, with a like number is
on the left flank of Kuropatkin's
forces.
In addition, as has been pointed out
on several occasions, a force of Jap
anese recently landed at Yin-Kow and
to New-Chwang is in po-
sition to hurl itself on the western
force of Russians, completing the en-
screen.
DISPATCHES from St. Petersburg
state that great apprehension and un-
easiness is felt there regarding the.
outcome of the fight.
Kuropatkin, despite the optimistic
tone of official dispatches. is known
to be in tight place, and there are
many who fear he will not be able to
sxtricate himself.
a dispatch from New Chwang states
that the Japanese there are already
discussing what effect of Kuropatkins
iefeat would have on the general sit
1ation. 1t is generally believed that
lie would have but two alternatives. |
Either he must surrender or retreat |
