young sister and driver Aurbacher
was driving the car at the time of the
accident, and he was unacquainted with
the road. which. at the point of the acel-
dent. is unusually treacherous TO autoists
on account of the many winding high en-
bankments.
Strikes as" Shaped Curve.
The machine struck an S-shaped curve
going at a moderate rate Of speed.
Aurbacher took the first curve, and
jammed on his brakes hard, when he
was Unexpectedly confronted by the sec
ond turn in the road. Either the brakes
refused to work or he lost control Of the
machine. for without warning the big
car plunsed over the edge of the embank-
ment, turned completely over. and landed
with a crash bottom-side up on the rocks
fifteen feet below.
The other three occupants Of the auto
mobile were thrown out as the machine
turned over and landed at the bottom
of the embankment. They are badly
bruised and shaken Up, but none Of them
is considered seriously injured.

Aurbacher held fast 10 the steering
wheel and was caught under the ma
chine. His skull was crushed and one arm
and several ribs were broken, and he was
burned and scalded about the body. He
was dead when taken out from under the
machine.

Richmond Va, July 26.-United States
Senator J. ". Daniel, at the request of
the governor Of Virginia, has joined tte
ranks of the State champions in the ?
cent rate war. ssoc!ated with the at
| torney general ard A. Caperton BraxtOn,
counsel for the s.ate, and he is expected
here tomorrow for a conference with
these gentlemen, the governor and the
corporation commissioners.
A statement confirming this was given
out by the attorney general this morning.
1t is understood that Senator Daniel
was retained pursuant to conference
between the State corporation commits
sion. the attorney general. and Mr.. Brax-
ton, in accordance with the wishes Of
Gov. Swanson.
No Reelection on Others.
Senator Daniel was not retained be-
cause the attorney general and Mr..
Braxton felt that they could not give the
litigation all the attention II requires.
for in this phase of the litigation it is
not regarded as necessary for the state
70 have, as yet any large number Of
lawyers. But because OF Senator Dan
lel's great ability as a lawyer, high char
acter as a man, and, his devoted patriot
ism" it was deemed wise 20 have the
benefit Of his counsel and assistance in
the six important eases which involve
so much for the State.
It is to be remembered that the railroad
companies have the benefit Of the services
Of twenty or more able and experienced
lawyers, who, receiving liberal compensa-
ton, devote their talents and energies 10
the service of their clients North Caro-
lima has retained some seven OF more Of
the ablest lawyers Of that State. besides
her attorney general and district solicit
! tors. Virginia so far has only retained
Mr Braxton and Senator Daniel as spe.
eial counsel, In association with Attorney
General Anderson. and with his cordial
concurrence. Gov. Swanson himself first
gave the information as to the retaining
Of Senator Daniel The latter has ac-
cepted.
Willing to Go TO Jail.
The unqualified statement was made
to-day by one close to Mr.. Swanson that
the governor, the attorney general. or any
member Of the commission would gladly
go to jail to-day were any actual good
to be accomplished by such self-sacrifice.
They do not feel, however, that the ext
gencies demand such course, nor do
they see the immediate necessity for
using their powder, although they are
storing up their ammunition and pur-
posely using it sparingly. waiting for
what they regard as the proper time for
action.

Special Dispatch to The Star
HAGERSTOWN Md. January 12-Heirs
of the late Judge r. H. Alvey, former chief
justice of the District of Columbia Court of

By the provisions of this agreement
Judge Alveys widow receives the Alvey
homestead on Prospect street, Hagerstown,
and the sum of 100000 in cash. In lieu of
this Mrs Alvey, in turn, forfeits her dover
interest in the balance of the estate which
is to be divided equally among the Alvey
children. The real estate, which will be
sold at once, application having been made
to the court for an order for the SALE in
cludes two large farms in Wililamsport

WETMoRE'S SUCCESSOR.
No One Can Guess What the Clans
Will Do.
al Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PROVIDENCE, r. l., January 12.-On
the eve of an election for a United States
senator to succeed George Peabody Wet
more neither the politicians. the candi-
dates, not even the boss of the republican
party apparently can do any more than
guess who will be elected. There is, how
ever the greatest activity among the as
ssmblymen at the state house, and the cam
paign managers of both Wetmore and Col
Colt are working day and night to secure
for their respective candidates the fifty-six
votes necessary. In the meantime the
democrats are standing pat forty-three
strong for Goddard. not overlooking the
possibility that in the balloting which be-
gfns.on Tuesday, some of the votes which
in the early ballots will go to one or the
other of the republican candidates may
swing to their candidate.
In all probability there will be no caucus
of the republicans before the balloting be-
gins in the open house. Colt is strongly in
favor of a secret ballot, which would give
some indication of the relative strength of
himself and Mr.. Wetmore. and negotiations
have been opened between the Colt and
Wetmore camps with an idea of bringing
such caucus about. Senator Wetmore,
however, can see no use in caucus.
