 Winchendon, Mass, Sept. 15,-An au- tomobile containing members of the party accompanying Governor. R. B. Glenn of North Carolina plunged over a bridge on the road to Royalston here this afternon and landed at the bottom of a ditch, pinioning the occupants url- derneath. '.
 The injured are: Guy Townsend of Winchendon, seriously hurt; Selectman Henry IN. Raymond of Winchendon, head cut, and bruised: J. c. McNeill, editor of the Charlotte, N. C., Observer, badly cut about the head; Owen Hoban, lawyer, of Winchendon, knee injured, and back sprained. .~s
 The motor car containing Governor Glenn was directly behind the autono- bile which met with the accident, and only the prompt action of the charf- feur averted collision between the two cars, as the first automobile swerv- ed from it's course and crashed into the ditch, capsizing in its passage.
 Itis believed that all the injured will recover. Mir. Townsend was the most seriously hurt, having three brok- en ribs and a badly bruised head.
 Editor McNeill of North Carolina was treated at the home of a physician, and the others were given medical attend ance and removed to their homes.
 Governor Glenn and the members of his party arrived here to-day to take part in the Old Home week celebraa- tion. In the afternoon a visit was made in automobiles to factories at Water vile. The party was returning on the Royalston road when the accident oc- cured. The highway approaching the bridge, which spans 3 ravine, makes a sharp descent. Down this road the car driven by Mir Townsend was speeding when, just at the end of the bridge, a wagon obstructed the passage.
 To avoid an accident, Mir. Townsend applied the full force of the brakes, at the same time steering to the left to escape the wagon The motor car ca reened on Its side wheels, struck the railing of the bridge, and then turning upside down, crashed into the, ditch, The softness of the undergrowth pre- vented a fatal termination of the acci- dent, since all the occupants who were at first pinned down by. the machine were able to crawl from their positions.
 When the Townsend automobile stop ped, the car containing Governor Glenn and B. M. Whitney. a manufacturer of Winchendon, was close behind, and Mir. Whitney, who was driving, prevented a second accident by steering quickly out of danger. Governor Glenn and MT. Whitney, as well as other members of the party who were near at hand, as- sisted the injured.

EQUITABLE,S EXPOSE
Has Made Very Unfavorable Impressioz
 in Foreign Circles.

~ K New York. Sept. 15.-James speyer. of Speyer & Co., who returned frn5n Europe on the steamer Baltic after q It Wornonths holiday in Europe, made the following statement concerning the attitude of the European financiers to- ward the American securities:
 5 When arrived in Europe I noticed that the unfortunate difficulties in which the Equitable was involved had attracted a great deal of attention there, and produced almost as painful impression as they have here.
 As the metter has d tendency per lhaps not wholly linwelcome to Euro pean competitors to reflect on Ameri- can business enterprises generally, but upon which one could point out that if these matters. once became public it did not take long for American public opinion to assert itself in no uncertain way. Besides, the impression produced by this affair has been entirely over shadowed by the presidents action in calling the peace conference and by his success in leading it to such 3. satisfac- tory result The presidents high char acter, purpose and ability have long been appreciated in Europe, but his last achievement has raised him still higher in European estimation and has added tremendously to the prestige of the United States all over the world. have no doubt that this will ultimately affect European opinion of all American enterprises favorably, and it will tend to European investors being disposed towards the securities and enterprises of the United States, whose wealth, energy and power are more appreciat- ed in Europe to-day than ever before.'E

GEN. GRANTS NOVEL PLAN
FORT TRUMBULL AS 4 HOME

While Husbands Are Abroad in Service
 of the Country Their Wives and
 Children Should be Allowed to Live
 in Barracks and Quarter. fin Aban-
 doned Forts-Bad Liquor Near Army
 Posts Cause of Great Per Cent. of
 Crime. 1
 Washington, Sept. 15,--In his annual report Brigadier General Frederick D. Grant, commanding the department of the east, makes the novel suggestion that the families of some of the off, cers and enlisted men in the army transferred to the Philippines be low lowed to live in the barracks and quar- ters in a limited number of abandoned forts while the husbands are absent from the country. He. suggests Fort .Trunnbull, Connecticut, as an excellent place for such use.
 General Grant says that the Manas- sas nanoevres last September and the joint army and navy exercises on the Potomac and Chesapeake last spring resulted in great benefit, and he ex- presses the desire of every one in the department that each year will see these exercises repeated on an increas- ed scale. Speaking of the many trials by court-martial, General Grant says that seventy-five per cent. of these trials were due to the use Of bad li- uuor in dens of vice near military posts. Says the general:
 ''These depraved creatures and lewd women use every device in their power to induce the soldiers to patronize their brothels, where those who yield to temptation are frequently drugged and robbed. It is distressing that the pros- perity of the vile resorts is due to the activity of good and worthy though misguided citizens who have succeeded in abolishing the canteen of the army"

 Are at Bottom of the Trouble Asked
 to Surrender, Ramsey Refuses.
 New York, Sept. 15.--Great surprise was expressed in the financial district of this city to-day when the public ap- peal of Joseph Ramsey, jr., president of the Wabash railroad, to the stock holders of the company to continue him in office became known.
 At the office of George J. Gould no statement could be obtained concerning Mir. Ramsey's action.
 John P. Ramsey, son Of the presi- dent of the Waash, was seen to-day. At what do you estimate the hold ings of the Gould party?" he was ask ed. 9.s 4 "A .ls " T understand that they amount to 40 per cent" he replied. Y
 '"The next largest owners are the. Roclzefellers, are they not?" rsf
 That is my understanding, replied MT. Ramsey. "
 My father,'' he continued, "has the support of several large stockholders in this fight and, of course, expects to, win. There has been some satisfaction as to the way the earnings have been applied. The view of my father on this point have clashed with those of MT. Gould" There were only two ways of getting over this difficulty my father should leave the company or else the control should be turned over to the interests in sympathy with his views.'''
 MT. Ramsey was asked to surrender the office of president and was for. do- ing so at once, but holders of large blocks of Wabash securities persuaded him not to do so. The same interests now wish him not to sever his connec- tion with the company of his term, which occurs on October 10, but to con- tinue as president and they have pledg- ed their support in fight to secure the turning over of the control to individ- uals holding the same views that he holds as to the best way of operating the road"
 Are these individuals the Rockefel- lers?" Mir. Ramsey was asked. , MT. Maysey replied: T really cannot say."

 Reports Denied by Uuion-NIeriden
 Company Cannot Supply Men, it is !. Said --- Non-Union Men Join the
 Union. &
 The printers strike situation in this city has changed very little. Two non union men who had struck with the oth' ersiwere yesterday admitted to the un- ion. The respective statements issued by the typothetae and the strikesrs' committee are very conflicting, each presenting their case in a forceable light.
 Wilson H, Lee, of the Price, Lee & Adkins Co.,, yesterday announced that the Plimpton Printing Cp. of Hartford has given up the union label, and will thereafter be run as non-union shop.
 The report in yesterdays papers that there were non-union men in town and that some of the union men had gone back to work was declared too risiicu- lous to discuss by members of the eight hour committee.
 At the meeting next Monday night new plans will be formulated that will, 1t is claimed, greatly strengthen the un- lon financially.
 It was stated that the master print CTS who have not yielded are to depend upon MT. Way, Of the Curtiss.Way Co. of Meriden, to furnish strike breakers,
 The strikers ridiculethis idea, claim ing that the Curtiss-Way Co. was un- able to secure men enough for itself when the Meriden men struck.

"Seven years ago my wife commenced
having spasms or fits and l called IN my

gave her calomel and she eventually got
some better, but in a short time she had
another attack. She was confined to her
bed for three months and the doctor could
not help her. She had fits frequently, some
times very severe. Her hands would cramp
so we could not open them and she finally
got SO her laws would become locked.
Finally 1 saw the doctor was doing her NO
good and ordered bottle of Dr., Miles Re

viii " Ill ohe Legislature Repeal It?

CHARITY and Children says:
~ "The Legislature would do
well to repeal the unjust law
that prohibits the railroad from
issuing passes to newspapers
in exchange for advertising.
If the newspapers and the rail-
roads make a contract satisfac-
tory to themselves, what busi-
ness has a third party in the
matter at all? The present ar
rangement is exceedingly cum
berson and inconvenient, and
puts both parties to the con-
tract to no little trouble and
annoyance"
The Raleigh Times comments
further on the matter as fol-
lows:
"What reason can any intel
ligent man give why a railroad
should not give indefinite, un-
limited transportation for in
definite, unlimited advertising
space in a newspaper? The
present plan of making a hard
and fast contract is particular
ly hard upon a paper with a
small circulation and cheap ad-
vertising rates. The editors of
