PILOT A GREWSOME SIGHT
When the Train Pulled Into Rich
mond Station an Hour Behind
Schedule Time.

The pilot of the engine carrying
mail train No. II, the fastest on the
Pennsylvania Southwest System,
when it drew into the Union Station
last night, was a grewsome sight to
behold. The whole front and sides
of the mammoth engine were covered
with blood, the remains of one of the
worst grade crossing tragedies that
the Pennsylvania Railroad has expe-
rieneed for years.
As the train was coming west
through Ohio, trying to make up
some lost time, the engine struck a
horse and buggy that was in the act
of crossing the tracks, little west
of Covington, Ohio, less than fifty
miles from here. Two men were In
the buggy and both were instantly
killed. The train was stopped for a
short time and then came on to this
city. arriving here over an hour late.
1t was not known who the men were,
but it is thought that they did not
hear the train owing to the noise
made by the storm.

Mayor Determined to. Have Speed

Session to Get It.

The matter Of racing on
North A street was brought
up last evening at the
meeting of the City Council and was
discussed at length. An ordinance
was proposed which would prohibit
fast riding or driving on all streets
or alleys of the city excepting North
A street, between Fifteenth and
Twelfth streets, between two and
four p. m. at time when the street is
in a suitable condition for sleighing.
Mayor Zimmerman spoke in favor
of the proposed measure and cited in
stances where other cities have set
aside a street, oftentimes a more i'm
portant street than Broadway, for a
speedway when there is snow enough

,, for sleighing. Mayor Zimmerman re-
minded council that the ordinance
prohibiting racing was a city ordi-
nance and not statute of the state.
He said that the custom of racing on
Broadway was one of 35 years stand
ing and had never yet caused any
complaint from the residents of the
street. Mayor Zimmerman stated
that a canvass has been made show
ing that the majority of the residents
I'of the street are in favor of the rae
ing, if sufficient care is exercised He
ended a personal request to the
council to take immediate action in
the matter.
Mayor Zimmerman also made men-
tIon of the fact that Richmond is
known far and wide for the fame of
the horses that are owned here and
called attention of the council to the
number of horses that are shipped
each week from Richmond by prom
lnent horse dealers He saws that a
place should be set aside for the pur-
pose of exercising these animals and
also for the purpose of giving the
people an opportunity to see some of
the best horses in the country in a
free race.
At the roll call several of the
couneilmen made remarks upon the
proposed ordinance. Mr.. Englebert
said that he has attended the races
on Broadway for twenty-five years
and that he has never seen any OBJ

The Victim. \

Patrolman Roy Edwards of the To-
cal police force, returned to the city
yesterday from Danville, H., after a

His insurance papers were found
hidden near a tree by a river but
that is the only clue the officers have
to work on. Wilson carried an in

RICHMOND FEELS
The BIG STORM
ALTHOUGH WORST PART OF
HURRICANE PASSED NORTH
EAST OF THE CITY.
CHIMNEY WAS BLOWN DOWN
At Rowlett's Desk Factory Wind
And Rain Cause Damage to
Telephone Wires.
CHIMNEY WAS BLOWN DOWN

A severe storm, characterized by a
fierce wind, rain, hail, lightning and
thunder coming from the West and
directing its course toward the
Northeast passed over Richmond yes
terday The effects Of the storm was
not felt as much in this city as it was
in other parts of the state and espec-
tally North and Northeast of here.
Yesterday afternoon the strong
wind played havoc with the telephone
and telegraph service and the line
men Of all the local companies were
kept busy last night. Perhaps Rich
mond never witnessed heavier win
ter rain than that which lasted for
thirty minutes late in the afternoon.
With the storm came a cold wave and
there was a pereeptible drop in the
temperature last night. Weather
prophets Of long experience shake
their heads wisely and predict much
colder weather, for according to them
it cannot lightning in the winter
time without bringing cold weather.
The most serious damage IN Rich
mond caused by the storm was at the
Rowlett desk factory. Tie tall CHM
ney was struck by lightning during
the heavy rain storm of the after
moo nand will cause great amount
of damage to the company.
The chimney as soon as struck fell
to the east and crashed through the
roof In two places, carrying timber
and bricks with it. Bricks fell
through to the first floor and one
workman was injured but only
slightly.
The actual damage done will
amount to between $500 and $1,000
but the loss to the company will be
much greater. No work can be done
in the factory till the damage is re-
paired and it is said it will take two
weeks at the least to make the neces-
sary repairs. Business at the factory
is heavy and already the company is
behind on orders and the accident
will not only delay this work but
thirty workmen will be thrown out
of employment, The chimney was
twenty-five feet high.
The damage to the telephone and
telegraph wires was very great. At
Thirteenth and North + streets three
poles belonging to the Home Tele-
phone Company were blown down
and the wires on them were left in
confused shape. There was much
damage Of minor nature.
A sign in front of the tailoring
establishment of Murray Hill on
Main street, near Tenth street, was
blown through the front window. A
number of other signs along Main
street were blown down.

WORTH REMEMBERING.

There is no good. thing in this world
that is not misused. and this is as true
Of advertising as Of anything else. The
temptation to "stretch things" in tell
ing a story Of business which is truly
what an advertisement is is as strong
as in telling an ordinary yarn, and this
leads to untruth and deception, with
the conse Iuent result that the average
advertisement is discounted as 20 its
most important statements, and in
many cases properly so. The firm that
succeeds in sticking to the exact truth
in its advertising and convinces the
people Of the fact. has learned the
secret of making advertising pay. pro-
yiding It also knows how 20 tell the
truth in timely and convincing
manner.
A single business man in a town who
brazen y oisregsris setting forth exact
facts in his advertising may easily
spoil the value OF advertising toall the
rest and TO the newspapers Us well, 90
that It would be a splendid law If it
could be made an inc table orense Tor
adcaler to make any statement in print
not easily substantiated No doubt
there would be- revolution in present
advertising methods. but the result
would be healthful and in the end more
profitable to all concerned.
No town ever amounts 10 much with
out enc or more good newspapers TO tell
the story Of business. This can be set
down as indisputa5le. The advent Of
a newspaper, therefore often marks
the beginning ofa towns business pros
perity and general awakenir 2. but It is
doubtful whether the newspaper Is
gwen this credit. II is often true that
a nonadyertiser in a live town does a
good business-it is very natural that
he shouldn't the credit is not due 20
himself or TO bis not advertising. but
TO those who do spend their cash libor-
ally with the newspapers and bring the
tide Of people 10 The place 10 trade.
Once there hey are very likely 10 drop

ticuiarly m certain lines Of busiuss,
not usually extensively advertised.
Secondly, then. It g. the cd ,r.iscrs
who help make town progre.siye-in
helping their own business they hc!r

The sum Of the whole question is.
