IS SEVERELY INJURED
Mrs. John ZWiSSIer Has Ribs
Fractured in a Runaway
Accident.
TWO OTHERS ARE HURT.

Mrs. John Zwissler, wife of the well
known baker, was severely injured
last evening in runaway accident,
being thrown from a rig and having
two ribs fractured. The accident oc-
Cured on the National road in front
of the country club. Mr.. Zwissler was
kicked about the body but sustained
only painful bruises. The other occu-
pant of the rig, Joseph Werner, was
slightly injured.
The party had been attending the
Knights of Columbus picnic at Jackson
park and were returning home when
the accident occurred. Coming down
the steep hill at the country club, the
brakes refused to work, throwing the
wagon against the horse. The alarmed
animal Immediately bolted and run
ming into a ditch at the side of the
road, overturned the wagon.
After Mrs. Zwissler had been
thrown out, the wagon fell upon her
Mr.. Zwissler fell underneath the
horse. When the frightened animal
broke loose from the wrecked rig he
kicked Mr.. Zwissler several times.
Mr.. Werner was somewhat stunned by
his fall but quickly revived and, with
Mr.. Zwissler, cared for Mrs. Zwissler
until 1t was possible to remove her
to her home. Besides having two
ribs on her left side fractured, Mrs.
Zwissler sustained numerous painful
bruises. Today her condition was re-
ported satisfactory, but it will be
some weeks before she is able to
leave her bed.
After the frightened horse freed
himself from the rig he bolted east
on the national road, made a wild
dash through the city and was not
captured until he reached the corner
of Sixteenth and Main streets. It's
hind legs were badly lacerated by the
shafts striking them.

BUSINESS INCREASES
Pennsylvania Freight Employ
es Are Being Worked
Day and Night.
THE GRAIN is NOW MOVING.

Clerks in the office of the Rich
mond division freight office are now
being worked day and night as the
result Of the effort the Panhandle is
making to bring it's freight business
up to the normal figure. At the pres
ent time there is quite a heavy move
ment of grain resulting from the big
cropssin this section of the country,
but otherwise the freight movement
is light. AS result the freight agents
of the division are out soliciting busi-
ness with vengeance and their
strenuous efforts are reflected in the
division freight office.
Within the past few days local
freight officials have been taking a
more cheerful view of the outlook for
business than at any time in the last
six months. Business out of this city
has been picking up wonderfully.
Crops are good throughout the coun-
try, except sections of the northwest,
consequently the local concerns which
manufacture farming machinery have
been shipping quite heavily.
Grain from Wayne county and ada
cent counties is now beginning to
move and the shipments are heavy.
Ohio grain started to move heavily
several days ago and in a few more
days a large per cent of the idle cars
will once again be in service.
1t is easy to determine in this city
the amount of freight the Panhandle
is handling, as Richmond is one of
the most important transfer points on
the Southwest System. When the
freight movement is heavy the local
yards and the freight depot are always
busy points. When business is light
these points are dreary looking places.
Now the local yards are well filled
with cars, most Of them laden with
grain, while the freight station huns
with activity

cup Says He Pays Little At
tention to President.

Oyster Bay, July 24.-President
Roosevelt last night announced in un-
mistakable terms of the determination
of the administration to proceed with
the prosecution of the Standard Oil
case despite the decision adverse to
the government. handed down by the
United States circuit court of Appeals
yesterday The decision, the president
thinks, in no way affects the merits
of the case. and he makes known his
decision to cause the action to be
brought again before the courts in
such shape, If possible. as to prevent
technicalities interfering with a de-
cision based upon the actual issues
involved. The statement, made public
last night by Secretary Loeb, follows:
The president has directed the at
torney general to Immediately take
steps for the retdial of the Standard
Oil case. The renewal of the decision
of the lower court does not in any
shape or way touch the merits of the
case except in so far as the size of
the fine is concerned. There is abso-
lutely no question Of the guilt of the
defendants or of the exceptionally
grave character of the offense. The
president would regard it as gross
miscarriage of justice If, through any
technicalities of any kind, the defend
ant escaped the punishment which
would have unquestionably been met
ed out to any weaker defendant who
had been guilty of such offense. The
president will do everything in his

Oyster Bay, n. Y, July 24.-William
H. Taft, bringing with him his speech
of acceptance about which he wishes
to consult President Roosevelt, arriv-

o'clock. He went directly to Saga
more Hill. where the president and

to take a hand in criticising the
speech awaited him.
When Candidate Taft reached the

accompanied the candidate from Hot

With Sergeant Casey of the traffic
squad as convoy Mr.. Taft was driv-
en- rapidly across the city to the Thir-
ty-fourth street ferry to Long Island
City. When the government automo-
bile dashed across Broadway at Twen-
ty-third street, breaking all traffic reg
ulations. four of the policemen on
duty at the crossing made a dash for
the car. Evidently they did not recog-
nize Sergeant Casey. for the first cop
to reach the auto, which had halted on
the far side of the crossing. thrust his
head through the curtains, about to
| say something hot and hasty, when he
was transfixed by the Taft smile
"O,' said the cop, quite softly, 'it's
all right, Judge, let her go.''
On board the ferry boat Mr.. Taft
climbed down from the machine at the
request of the photographers and was
at once surrounded by the crowd on
the boat, many of whom braved the

at him. After Mr.. Taft had regained
