was caught in the rush and thrown
to one side damaged. and the horse
mangled, while Of all the thirty Or
more people Involved rand the hun
dfeds Of people on the streets, but
one man, was seriously injured. 4
was an, accldentslittle less than mar
veious, for the wagon and two men
on 1t never enjoyed such a mad race.
while the spectators looked every mo-
ment for it to wreck the car and prob-5
ably end the life of the majority Of
the frightened passengers within. But
all we're preserved though the car MAS
deposited on the pavement in front
Of the Hicks & Hoge building, Ct
Main and Fourteenth street, and stopr
ell within few inches Of passing
through one of the big plate glass win
dows into the store.
The cause OF the accident ts believed
to have originally been due 20 .
broken brake chain and slippery tail.
though employees Of the Wheeling
Traction Company, whose car 1t was.
refuse to make any statements.

10 Arrange Scale
DEMANDS FOR SHORTER HOURS
WITH SAME PAY WILL BE
MADE THls- -MEEk%GoA

WHEELING, oct. IA meeting OF
the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
win be held at their headquarters In
Deuker's hall Thursday evening Tor
The purpose of taking definite action
on the demands for an eight.hour
scale. The trainmen believe that they
are not getting their share OF the
prosperity of which the railroad COM
panies are Dragging, and will demand
less hours with the same pay
Whether or not the refusal of the
companies to grant the demands Will
result in a strike is not known. How
ever, it is the general opinion that the
national union is back of the move
and that unless the companies make at
least some concessions there will be a
general strike. This would be gen
orally deplored move, but the employees
appear determined and state that they
viii fight the cause to finish.

withdrawn from sale. This, owing TO
the so-called abuse" to which the
new book has been subjected. 1t is
alleged that purchasers make a habit
of soliciting fellow.travelers to make
use of the book, sometimes charging
the cost.rate OF the mileage, two
cents a mile, and in many instances
lcvying two and one-half cents and
even three cents a mile. This latter
innovation Of the owner of the book
setting himself up in business at the
expense of the railroad company and
coping from half a cent to a cent
profit on such sales OF mileage as he
can make, Is what has determined the
B. & o. to withdraw the new book, 1t
is alleged.
One day last week man owning
one of the books brought two compan-
ions from Huntington to Wheeling,
and charged them at the three'cent
rate. The mileage is 215 and thus
the owner Of the book had the cozy
little profit of $3.50 on the transac-
ton, the regular open one.way rate
being s6.45. There are innumerable
similar instances of the so-called
.'abuse9 of the new open book, and
the railroad company naturally feels
that it has made a mistake--that the
travelling public is getting even for
the years Of high,priced travel, .
But whether the book 3 retained
