0vERWoRKED OPERATOR
Blamed For Disastrous Wreck on the
q. g. O. at BelIaire, o.

Wheeling, Oct. prosecuting At
torney Shepard of st. Clairsville has
nearly completed his investigation
into the disastrous wreck on the Bal.
timore & Ohio railroad at Bellaire.
y. He said that warrant would be
issued for Tom Buckhannon, operator
at block signal station No. 6, at the
end of the double track, whose blum
der, 1t Is said, caused the death OF
10 persons and injury to over 30
others. 1t was said that Buckhannon
had been on duty Sc hours before he
made the fatal mistake.
God knows | am sorry | did it, but
] absolutely couldn't keep my eyes
open," Buckhannon is reported to
have said to one of the trainmen. The
operator is quietly waiting to be call
ed by the authorities when the inves
tigation begins.
He states that a short time before
the Chicago train was due he saw
number of foreigners working with the
switch to the track the freight was on,
while at the same time he called up
Bellaire by phone and was told that
the freight had left. Just as he hung
up the receiver he heard the crash.
Coroner Diven of Martins Ferry
said that coroner's investigation was
unnecessary, as the cause of the
wreck was explained by the officials.
There was no blunder on the part OF
either crew. Both had orders for the
same track.
Six of the victims were taken from
the wreckage dead. Three died in
the Boone hospital at Bellaire shortly
after their removal there, and another,
an unidentified man, died later. He
regained consciousness shortly before
he died, and when asked his name he
murmured. "Woodsfield." He is be-
lieved to be from Woodsfield, O.
The remains of man upon whose
person were found papers indicating
that he is L. E. Rowe of Ferry, Mich,
travelling salesman for a Cleveland
iewelry house, are being held for pos
tive Identification. No more deaths
have resulted.

The AnoIo.Russian Convention.

The comment at st. Petersburg
recently on the Anglo-Russian con-
vention is marked by an underlying
conviction that the most dangerous
antagonist of Russia, as we'll as Great
Britain, is Germany, with which coun-
try decisive struggle is alleged to be
impending. Writers characterize the
treaty as guarantee of the safety of
Russia's and Great Britains rear, Rus
sia renoucing the far east and middle
east in favor of an active policy in
the near east, from which Germany
had been skillfully DETECTING her, and
Great Britain reassuring the safety
OF her frontiers in India in order to
be able to use her full strength in op-
position to Germany's aggressions
