There has never been Sc much
interest manifested in building
substantial public roads, through
out the country, as in the year
now nearing its close, and in
many sections much has been
accomplished. Wise county
Virginia, has just voted a bond
issue of 100000 for the build
ing of macadam roads and the
proposition was overwhelmingly
sustained. Scott county is to
vote on a 100000 bond issue next
month while Lee county engages
in a similar fight for the same In
three o r four Magisterial dis
tricts. In both counties the sem
timent is strong in favor of the
proposition. In fact, there are
many counties in the State TAX
ing this means of building high
class roads which will gradually
sexterd throughout its length and
breadth. The interest in Vir-
GINA is largely due to the meth
DDS used by the State officials
who have pushed the good roads
proposition for the last four OF
five years, building two or three
miles in each county as an OBJ
ject lesson. Everywhere theil
efforts are bearing good fruit
and will result in much good t.

TRENTON, Jan Ex-Governor Fort

Il propose to get them all out of the

and / will certainly be relieved to get
them settled.

The Governor said he was aware
Judge Vredenburgh' term expired to-
day, and that he would fill the vacancy

TWO Die IN WRECK
OF FLYER WHEN
ENGINE TURNS OVER
Passengers Have Narrow Escape
in Accident to Twentieth
Century Limited.

UTICA, n. y, Jan. 25.-The engine IN
the New York Central Twentieth Cen
tury Limited, east bound. turned COM
west of st. townsville today. Ii slid
800 feet before it stopped.
Under the engine pits, Fireman Mel
vim J. Handville, of Syracuse, WAS
crushed beyond recognition. The engi-
neer, John Scanlon of Fort Hunter, at
tempted to leap when the engine left
the rails but was caught between the
.,engine and tender and cut and crushed
in Il terrible manner.
All of the coaches were derailed and
now Stand at an angie, extending across
all the tracks. Most of the passengers
were thrown from their berths ana
some were slightly injured.
There is II signal tower about d
quarter of a mile west of the st. Johns
vile station, and from this the switches
and cross-overs are controlled. For
some reason not yet explained it was
necessary for the operator to shift the
train from track No. l to track No. :,
and he had thrown the switch for the
cross-oyer and set the signals.
The supposltion is that the signal
cautioning Engineer Scanlon to slow
down was not seen by him in time to
bring his train under full control. and
when the locomotive struck the cross
over the pon1erous machine bounded
! into the air, turned upon its side in, a
twinkling and then as it struck one OF
the rails, rolled upon it's back and
plowed ahead through the rails, ties
and ballast at least 800 feet.

gage and mail car and this saved the
| train from the ditch. The heavy
coaches bounded from the track in
front, but fell back right side up and
remained in an upright position. The
passengers We're mostly all asleep and
some of them were scarcely disturbed.
No blame seems attached to the tower
man. Joseph Battle, for the accident, as
he had set the signals in proper time.
ALBANY, Jan. 25.-The'>ollowing Of
fetal tatement concerning the wreck
of the Twentieth Century Limited has
been given out by the New York Cen
trail officials here;
"Engineman Scanlon. with engine
3459, one of the large type of locomO-
tives, on No. 26, this morning, with
eight cars, running on time, at st.
townsville, evidently misjudged his
speed in crossing from track 10
track 4. The engine tipped over. None
! of the cars We're overturned and no
passengers were injured, and they We're
transferre d to the second section, which
was right behind the first. and as fast
as the rear end could be pulled back
the second section got by and pro-
ceeded and left Albany with two diners
and six other cars. When the engine
tipped over the engineman and fireman
were pinned dnder the engine and
| killed.
! "Scanlon had run the train for over
year and half. was IS years of age
and one of the finest type of men in
the business How he came to mis-
judge his speed in taking TINS switch
cannot be determined. The signalman
was on the ground to give him mes
sage, but he went by so fast he could

POLICE LOCATE
TWO new VICTIMS
OF MAD POODLE
Four Known TO Have Been Bit
ten and Search Is Being
Made Now for Others.

The police learned today of two orher
persons who We're bitten by the shaggy
French poodle. which went mad in the
vicinity OF 70 Horatio street. They are:
Norris Mittgarr. owner of the dog. and
Andrew Petersen, a boarder in the Mitt-
Carr home. Their wounds have been
cauterized and doctors are watching for
symptoms of hydrophobia.
This makes four persons who are
known Go have been bitten by the dog.
The police are convinced that there are
several other victims, and it is possible
that the dog. in its mad wanderings,
bit several other dogs
Thomas Kirkman. OF ~ Brill street,
today took his 14year-old son, Harold,
to the New York Laboratory in East
sixteenth street, Manhattan, for treat
ment. Otto patuschke, 16 years old, of
299 Norfolk street, Is already there.
The dog which bit these four persons
is believed To have contracted rabies
from the dog which ran wild among
shoppers at the Four Corners on the
day before Christmas. Mrs Mittgarr
said today that the dog acted strangely
last Thursday night, when it bit lier
husband and Petersen, the boarder. He
was then tied up. Early Friday morn
ing he broke the rope which held him
and ran into the street. She did not
hear from him again until late Friday
| afternoon. when she was told that he
hal been stoned to death, after biting
several boys near her home.
Arrangements have been made by
Health Officer David ID. Chandler with
the Pasteur Institute to take care OF
victims of mad dogs in this city. The
epidemic OF rabies has made it neces-
sary for the department to take steps
in sthe matter. Any person suffering
from a dog bite will be supplied with d
letter by Mr. Chandler which will en-
title him To examination and treatment
at the institute i'll New York.
1t was hoped that the new clinic IN

eled. The work viii be completed with

That II May Clear Tomorrow.

For another twenty-four hours, ac-
cording to Prof. Wiener, the local
weather expert at the High School,
Newarkers can look for continuance
of the present weather. a slight drop
in temperature may be looked for, how
ever. owing to the northwest winds
which are predicted
The present storm. which until noon
today had not decided whether it would
be rain or snow, is the outward sign
of unsettled weather conditions ali

heavy storm for a while yet. and that
the probability is that we shall begin
having fair weather tomorrow.

More Than one Uranium.

Misguided adherents Of the Demo-
.ratic nominee o Congress In this
district have been o-Ver-zeaIous in
heir assertions that he a abour

Is their song n dance on street
corners and elsewhere.
However, occasionally n hnds an
honest admission in a Democratic
newspaper. The wheeling Register
a Sunday or two ago stated that
Charles e. Carrlgan vas a brtllian-
lawyer, and thus it seems the brain
of the district is not monopolized By
Mr.. C~arrigan's Democratic oppo.
nent.
Painful discovery is being made
by the Democratic schemers, al
though they refuse to admit it. that
Mr.. Carrigan is not only a brilliant
lawyer but also a clever platform
speaker. OF course. they are panied
to read such testimonials as the fol-
lowing from The weston Republican:
Because so many speakers had pre-
eedcd him, the address of Hon. g. E.
Carrigan, at the soldiers picnic. last
Thursday, was an agreeable surprise
Ito his most ardent supporters and
admirers, as at least four persons
had made addresses when Mr..
carrigan was called to the platform,
and the fact that politics was not
discussed on this occasion, his posi-
ton, to many. would not have been
~ anvia HE one The speaker was
equal to the emergency. however,
md he succeeded in deltghting his
audience with his ability, not only
IS a speaker, but as a platform dtplo-
mat. Many persons were delighted
With his address, and it is needless
20 say he made many rriens in this
section.
