In Dublin the butcher shops display

at Richmond, and who has since been
preaching and conducting services at
various churches in this section, has
decided to accept the call extended
him from the Presbyterian churches
at Duffields, Shenandoah Junction and
Zion, and will shortly assume charge.
This is considered most desirable
charge for young minister, as there
is a comfortable manse at Dufflelds,
and the other churches are but short
distance away. The churches are COM
posed of well-to-do and prosperous
members, and the three congregations
in the parish are closely united.
The determination of Mr.. Siler to
accept the call was given to The Even

HIS WATCH BADLY SMASHED
YOUNG MAN VICTIM OF ApEcU-
LIAR MIx-Up.
Assaulted on the Streets BY Strang-
er, His Timepiece Was Torn From
Chain Was Recovered.

A young Baltimore & Ohio railroad
fireman, former resident of this city,
but now running out of Keyser on the
third division, was the victim Of a
peculiar mix-up in this city Saturday
night, by which valuable gold wath
belonging to him was badly mashed.
The young man, whose name is c.
w, Arthur, was visiting relatives
here Saturday, and was walking on
Queen street, near the corner of Mar
tin, when he claims he was assaulted
by man whose name he did not know.
He stated that the stranger 1ostled
him rather roughly, and In the mix
up Arthur's watch was torn from the
chain and fell into the street,
Arthur reported to the police that
his watch had been stolen, but this
seems to have been a mistake, as
the timepiece was later picked up on
the street and returned to the owner
by boy. 1t was badly battered by
the fall on the bricks.

BROKEN TRUCK CAUSED ACCIDENT
Entire Train Left the Rails, But No
One Was Injured Seriously
Track Torn Up For a Con-
siderable Distance.

Baltimore & Ohio passenger train
No. 2, due at Martinsburg from the
west at 1925 a. m, was wrecked
shortly after IL o'clock this morning
at Weverton, and as a result all pas
sengers on eastbound trains will be
transferred until the wrecking crew
from Brunswick can get the train
back on the rails.
The train was running at high
rate of speed when the accident oc-
Cured, and 1t is miracle that no one
was killed or badly injured. The pas
sengers and members of the crew,
however, escaped with only few
slight bruises.
The accident was caused by the
breaking of the trucks under the ten
der of the engine. The tender left
the track, dragging every car of the
train from the rails. The emergency
brakes were applied as a result OF
the accident, and the train was brought
to a stop in less than its length. In
the meantime the passenger coaches
were humping along on the ties, rock
ing and swaying in decidedly alarm
ing manner, and many of the passen-
gers grew historical with fright.
AS soon as the train was brought
to standstill, the passengers fed
from the cars in a panic, but it was
speedily discovered that TO one had
been seriously injured. The tracks
were torn up for about 200 yards, and
it will require some hours before
they can be put in condition to permit
the passage of trains.
The passengers on the derailed train
were transferred to another train,
and proceeded with the loss of about
two hours time. The wrecking crew
from Brunswick is now engaged in
replacing the derailed cars. Some OF
them are somewhat battered, but none
badly damaged. The eastbound track
will probably be open for traffic by
s o'clock this evening.

trict OF Columbia and former United
States senator from Maryland. died
suddenly at his homo. 2lol Wyoming
avenue, Washington, at sos o'clock
Sunday morning.
Heart disease from which he had
suffered for some time, was the cause
Iof his death. Although he had not
been In very good health for year
and had spent most Of the summer
months In Europe In an effort to re-
cuperate. His death was a severe
shock not only to his wife, but to
his close friends In Washington.
Judge McComas returned to Wash
ington from Europe on October II,
and Immediately took up his winters
work as members OF the appellate
court. Since then he had been sit
ting at the sessions Of the court, and
he was on the bench when court adj
jonrned on Friday.
Saturday night Judge McComas
worked until nearly midnight in his
law library preparing decision In i.
the first case heard BY him since his

Councilman 1iI| Has Decidedly In
tePesting Proposition.
TO SPAN THE RAILROAD TRACKS
Would Erect Steel Structure on East
Martin Street to Afford Better
Com munication With Other
Parts of the CITY.
Parts of the City.

Z Councilman Frank Zill, who is an
efficient member of the council from
the fourth ward, has come forward
with matter that offers some decid-
eddy interesting possibilities, being a
proposition to erect a steel bridge
over the Baltimore & Ohio tracks on
East Martin street to connect the down
town section of the city with tina por-
ton known as the hill,y and which
is being greatly improved with new
and comfortable homes, macadamized
streets and brick and concrete side
walks.
Mr.. Zill offers some very good rea-
sons for the erection of the proposed
bridge, and while the question is as
yet in a tentative stage, he has already
received assurances of substantial sur
port in the matter.
Mr.. Zill's idea is to enlist the city
and county and the Baltimore &c Ohio
railroad officials, as well as private
individuals whose property interests
would be greatly benefited, and to
proceed as soon as possible with the
work. He states that the plan he pro-
poses would be entirely feasible, and
that the whole matter could be accom-
plished at an expenditure of about
$4,000 His idea is to have the west
ern end of the bridge start at point
opposite the store of Mr.. ]. H. Ly-
eth, and strike the hill opposite at d
point on level with the starting
point. This would give the structure
sufficient height to clear all trains, and
would reduce the grades at the ap.
proaches to the lowest possible point,
and make the bridge easy of access.
He declares that if the bridge were
built it would greatly enhance the val
ne of property in the northern and
eastern section of the city, and be the
means of attracting many more peo-
pie to those sectors as place of
residence Another argument adj
vanced is that many residents of the
county, living north and east of the
city, would be afforded better facili-
ties for reaching the business section,
and would thus be inclined to visit
the city more often and spend more
money here.
The only avenues of communication
between the northern and eastern sec
