history of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
occurred last Saturday morning at the Buck

when the air brakes refused to work and the
engine and entire train, of ten loads and ten

the wesibound engine, No. 1877, with train
OF empty cars. Both trains were piled into
one great mass of debris, but luckily no one
was hurt. The wreck trans we're called out
from various points and spent the entire day
in clearing the tracks, which were blocked.
All the Baltimore and Ohio passenger trains
were delayed several hours.

sion, which fully earned its title as the

hundreds Of bills presented by the minor

always be available.
Reference Is made TO the battIeships
Louisiana and Connecticut. the latter
constructed in the New York navy
yard. Admiral Capps remarlSing that
at the time of the delivery OF the Con-
necticut the actual condition OF WORK
on the vessel was practically Identical
with the Louisiana. so far as concern
ing all materials. until connected with
armor and armament
Admiral Capps admits that il costs
less TO build a warship by contract,
by reason OF the shorter hours OF
labor, paid holidays, etc, granted to
nevertheless, that the government;
should be always prepared TO turn out
its own ships In times Of emergency.
The lack OF docking facilities at Norfolk
and Mare Island is commented upon as
being especially embarrassing to the
bureau, as no battleships of any class cali
be docked at either Of those yards
He recommends the building Of an ad-
ditional drydock, capable of docking the
largest vessels. at both the Norfolk and
Pensacola navy yards. and that provision
should be made for cnlarx1ng and re-
building drydoclI No. 3 at the New York

LACK OF FOOD
MAKES DEER SCARCE

Bangor Me. Dec. 12--Starvation. rather
than hunters, has been responsible for the
falling-off OF deer receipts this year. ac-
cord!ng to the veteran hunters and guides
who are returning from the woods in this
the last week OF the open season.
Deer shipments through Bangor this
season are about 1900 below the record Of
1908. and fearing that these animals were
being exterminated by the hunters there
has been agitation for strcter legislation
for these animals. The older hunters claim
that food Is scarce In the old haunts and
that the deer have gone TO new grounds.
No fear is expressed, however. that the
deer will leave the state as did the carl
bou. for tho deer is not a migratory ami
mai.

have fallen far behind last years. there
