Accident to Automobile.

Rome, Aug. 2l.-The Zegcolo says
that an automobile in which the Dow
ager Queen Margherita, mother Of King
Victor Emmanuel, and several members
of her suite we're making the ascension
of the Little St. Bernard, ran into a
stone barricade which had been erected
in the road, and the machine was over
turned. Queen Margherita was badly
bruised, and the other members OF the
party received a severe shaking up. The
erecting of the barricade in the road Is
regarded as a direct attempt upon the
life Of the Dowager. Two men who are
accused of piling the stones in the road
have been arrested.

Friehtful Railroad Accident.

Butte, Mont, Aug. 2l.--A collision
between street car and freight train
cost the lives of nine persons late Sun
day night. In addition, fourteen were
injured, one fatally. The accident came
as the climax to day devoted to merry
making at Columbia Gardens, where
throngs gathered to enjoy Sunday out
ing. The street car vas filled with pick
nickers, homeward touDd, when it was
run down by Butte, Anaconda and
Pacific train. The crowded street car
was struck squarely and crushed like an
egg shell. Those who witnessed the ac-
cident regard it as little short of miracu
lous that any one aboard escaped death.
1t is not known whether the mOtorman
made the usual stop or the conductor
examined the crossing for approaching
trains. The street car nOisiIy bumped
its way onto the railroad tracks when
out of the darkness doomed up the heavy
form Of string of freight cars backing
rapidly. On top of the first freight car
Conductor Hoagland, of the train, fran
ticaiy waved lantern and shouted a
cry of warning. 1t was unheeded. A
moment later the freight train plowed
its way through the fragile street
car, grinding limbers, steel, and iron
braces and fragments of humanity, into
a horrible mass. The victims were pin
toned in the debris, and a number we're
crushed out of shape and had limbs torn
and cut away. One woman, buried
deep under the wreck, had both feet
severed at the ankle. Her cries we're
agonizing while officials and volunteers
labored to reach her. The protruding
mangled limbs and the cries of the
woman were the only guides the rescuers
had to govern their work. The woman
finally tainted. Her identity is unknown.

JUST WHAT will be the best kind or
character Of paving for streets or road
wlys in the annex in Baltimore is now
being considered by the commissioners
for opening streets in that city, and, like
the members of all municipal boards or
councils of cities, the commissioners are
not agreed. Indeed, the question OF
street paving and what will best serve
the purposes of durability and utility
aud also minimize the cost of keeping
such streets in good order, has always
been a matter of disagreement as well as
discussion upon the part of those who
control such affairs. Que member Of
the Baltimore board is strongly in favor
of macadam, as he claims it answers the
purpose of more expensive street. Per-
sons who have visited Boston, Mass,
Will recall that Commonwealth ave-
nue., upon which the State House is
situated, has a macadam roadway,
1t is stated that a large number of the
residential streets in Boston are paved
with macadam, that the streets are
pleasing to the eye and exceedingly
pleasant to drive over and are cheap in
the matter of construction, as well as
cheap in maintenance. The only OBJ
lection to macadam streets is the dust in
dry weather; but if sprinkled, at small
cost, the objection is not serious one.
If considerable portion OF Common
wealth avenue, one of the handsomest
streets in Boston, built up with resi-
dences costing from $40, 1000 to 800, 600
and more, is improved for long dis
tances with good macadam, with stone
curb and cutters and rebuts and such
paving appears entirely satisfactory,
Aexandrians should give it fair trial.
Queen street is now being paved, or
covered with what is termed macadam,
from Washington to Henry street. AT
the last meeting in July the Common
Council passed an order making an APP
preparation of three thousand dollars to
Jay nacadam roadway on Washington
street from Queen to OronocO, and the
order is DOW pending in the Board Of
Aldermen. These two streets when En-
ished will furnish an object lesson as to
what we have referred to as be-
ing desirable-utility, desirability and
economy

Wants to Marry Miss Roosevelt.

Manila, Aug. 2l.-Advices from Jolo,
where Secretary Taft and his party
visited last week, 10 the tour being made
of the Philippines, state that the climax
to the festivities arranged in honor Of their
visit came when the Sultan of Sulu Of
fered his hand in marriage to Miss Alice
Roosevelt, the Presidents daughter, and
asked her to become the Sutana of the
Sulu archipelago. In making his pro-
posal, the native ruler declared that it
was the earnest wish OF all his people
that she should remain among them.
Just what answer was returned to the
Sultan's proposal by Miss Roosevelt is
not known. The Sultan Hadji Moham-
med Abdul of Zolo already has six
wives, so that his offer of marriage to
Miss Roosevelt is regarded as form of
oriental poiteness in offering her the
highest compliment at his command.
Other members of the party, however,
are doing their best to take the matter
seriously, as the fact has bee )me gem
orally known among them.

The Taggart Divorce Case.

Wooster, o., Aug. 2l.-When court
opened today for the fourth week of the
Taggart divorce trial, attorneys for Capt.
Taggart filed a motion to throw Mrs
Taggart's cross petition out of court.
The motion vas barred on technical
grounds. Knowing that such motion
was to be filed, attorneys for Mrs. Tag
CART called Captain raggart back to the
stand for three questions. The first
was "Do you want divorce,
should your grounds prove sufficient"
1t has been known that both sides
are fighting for possession OF the
children rather than for divorce.
Captain Taggart hesiiated, then answer
ed the question: eyes" The next
question Tlggart was not allowed to an
swer. L was. "If it turns out YOU
cannot have a divorce and your wife has
grounds for divorce, do you want her to
be granted dvorce?" Then raggart an
swered Eyes" to the third question,
saving he wanted decree granted ac-
cording to the evidence. The judge re-
fused to dismiss the cross petition.

MONDAY EVENING. AUG. 81, 1906.

The democratic primary election 10
nominate a United States Senator, State
officers and a member OF the Legislature
will be held tomorrow. The canvass
has been in progress for some months
past and at times has been quite ami
mated. It's hoped that after the result is
announced all democrats will get together
and unite upon the ticket nominated
and thus present solid front at the
general election next November so as to
emphasize the truth of the statement
that democratic nominations in Virginia
are equivalent to elections. The candi-
dates to be voted for are all gentlemen
worthy of the support and confidence Of
the sufiragans, and the State will be safe
whichever of them are chosen. For the
positions Of United States Senator and
Governor the Gazette has espoused the
causes of Senator Martin and Mr.. Swan
son. with the kindliest feelings, however,
for the other candidates. It's reasons for
so doing are apparent and manifold
Senator Martin has made asafe, efficient
and able representative of the State and
people in the higher branch of Congress
ond his usefulness has increased with
the length of his term of service He
has faithfully safeguarded every interest
of his people that has been entrusted to
him and has devoted his whole time and
talents to the advancement of his State.
His twelve years experience in the
Senate and the high regard in which he
is held by his fellow members makes his
service almost invaluable to Virginia
and we honestly believe that the
State would suffer were he displaced at
this time. Mr.. Swanson, though COM
pafatively young man, has been in pub
lie life for a number of years. His long
and able service in the House of Repre-
sentatives and his knowledge of public
matters and of men of affairs, will, we be-
lieve, well fit him for the position ofChief
Executive of the State and of his ability
10 perform the duties of this high office
here is no doubt. Then, too, be has
been a hard working democrat, engaging
ia all the canvasses during the past twelve
wears and has never faltered in his de-
vOtion to his State or party. His manly
course when he was defeated for Gov
enor four years by Mr.. Montague
showed of what stuff he is made and won
for him the admiration of not only his
friends but of thousands of them who
bad opposed him. The other candi-
dates may be just as good and able men
a the two we are supporting, but there
i no doubt of the worth and ability OF
these two, and feeling this we have
chosen to support them and to advise
others to do the same.

stallions in Fierce Combat

Two thoroughbred stations fighting
like mad on the roadside was the thrill
ing spectacle presented to number OF
farmers on the outskirts of Railway, n.
j., Saturday evening. George HenO, of
Milburn, was driving fine bay Ham
bletonian to a road wagon on the Nc
Kenzie road, when, as be reached field
on the Clark farm, he was aroused by a
challenging neigh from big chest
nut stallion grazing in this field. His
own steed answered the challenge
with note of defiance and before
Heno knew what was happening the
chestnut was over the fence and the
battle was on. So sudden was the
onslaught that Heno was thrown out
of the wagon and his shoulders dislo-
Gated.
The bay tore itself loose from its har-
ness. aud the conflict between the-mad-
dened beasts ragged furiously. The loud
noise they made drew several farmers
and farm hands to the scene, and the
fighters we're only finally separated by
the liberal use of pitchforks. Great
strips of skin and flesh were torn from
their breasts and TANKS in the battle,
while the road wagon was considerably
damaged and the harness of Heno's horse
wrecked.
When the combat was at its height a
party of men and women in large auto
touring car came along the road.
At the sight ofthe struggling animals,
with blood streaming from their bodies,
the women in the automobile screamed
from fright and one of them tainted.

SAVE HIM"

Tom Kenerson and Ned Fowler were
daring young fellows, neither Of whom
would be apt to choose a commonplace
occupation. They were working iD 4
cotton mill on small wages. when
Kanerson noticed the wages paid to
3ivers ana proposed to Fowler, with
whom be had become very intimate.
that they should learn how to dive.
They left the mill and, entering the
service Of wrecking company, soon
became the most daring among the
companys divers.
Meanwhile henerson married, and
1t was said that the marriage was a
sad blow to Fowler But this was
made up merely from observation, for
neither Fowler nor Mrs. Nancy Ken
erson ever said word to any one
as to how either regarded the other,
and. as for Nancy, she chose Tom Ken
erson. However this may be, the two
men became stronger friends each
year until they were more like broth
ers than friends. Ned Fowler was Of
ten gxest at the Kenersons' and al
ways conducted himself toward his
friends VIE honorably.
Ten years after the two men entered
the diving profession Fowler was still
fl the service of the wrecking com
pany. while Kenerson engaged him
self for odd jobs requiring a man Of
great nerve and experience, for which
be received large pay.
One day Fowler received tele-
gram:
