Engineer ]. B. McMelleon. park-

The worstwreck that has happen
ed on the Ohio River division for some
years occurred at S:I5 yesterday
morning ut thewest end of bridge
1888 at Mercers Bottom, about ls
miles below here when two freight
train collided and four men were kill
ed and two were injured.
One of the trains which was in the
smashup was an extra freight in
charge of Engineer William Ste@ey
of Parkersburg the train being COM
posed of number ofempty cars, and
the other train was second No. $780,
northbound with a double header.
The crew on the extra had orders
to pass twosections of No. 1856 at Cal
lipolis Ferry and while the cause Of
the wreck willprobably never be eI-
actly known the supposition is that
the engineer on No. $50 south bound
thought that he was passing both
sections at that place as the first
section had two engines attached.
As soon as possible members Of
both crews who were not injured set
about to secure relief and assistance,
and news of the wreck wass,wired
from the nearest telegraph Office 10
the division headquarters. The
wreck crews from Parkersburg and
Benwood were ordered out at once
and the company surgeons from diff
ferent points on the lower section of
the division were called. DR.. With
ers of Glenwood was the first to ar.
rive and Doctors Barbee, McElfresh
and Mossman of this place were
soon at the scene of che accident.
As soon as the wreck crews ar
rived work of rescue was started
Engineer Steffey and Brakeman
Moaatt of engine 900 and Fireman
Brabham of engine ees were found
buried under the wreckage. The
injured Engineer McMelleom and
Brakeman Loyeall of the northbound
freight and Fireman Kautz of En-
CINE 800 were taken to a farm house
near the scene of the wreck where
they were given attention by the

POINT PLEASANT. WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 2s 1910
'. V. LEAGUE
MEETING At CHARLESTON MAY HAVE
NEW PRESIDENT COMING SEASON.

Much Importance is attached 10
the meeting of the officials and di-
rectors Ofthe Virginia Valley baseball
league which will be held tonight at
Charleston.
The purpose for which the meeting
was called is to outline the business
for the coming year and elect new
officers. 1t is thoughtthat all of the
clubs represented last year viii re-
main in the league and it is possible
that Fairmont and Clarksburg may
be added, making it an eight club
league instead of six. Some are
claiming thatit would not be a paying
investment to take on the two towns
mentioned for the reason that the
jumps are so long. 1t is generally
conceded, however, that an eight
club league would pay better than a
six team one for the reason that it
would cut down the number of games
in any given city. A number ofthe
league directors are in favor of taking
in the towns of 1ronton, Ohio. and
Middleport-Pomeroy. Our sister cit
les could, by placing the grounds
at Middleport, have the entire Pom
eroy Bend to draw from and it looks
like the promoters would realize
handsomely on the investment.
President Bond will have opposition
for reelection, in the person of Lon
Barringer, of the Lewis Hubbard
Co. who it is said, is well qualified
for the position. A new secretary
will in all probability be elected at
the same time.
H. H. Henry will represent the
Point Pleasant Gallipolis team at the
meeting.
NorEs.
Carney, Witterstatter and Orcutt,
have been recommended to enesot
the southern leagues as the best
outfelders of last season.
Cochran, of the Montgomery team
will play with the Cotton States
League, the coming season.
Joe Webrle, president of the
Charleston team has sold his entire
block of stock, to Capt. Tabscott, of
the Lewis Hubbard company.
Rumor has it that attorney Upshur
Higsinbottom, has acquired large
block of the Charleston team and
will be made local president.
Charleston will have new grounds
within FIVE minutes walk of Capitol
street, on Virginia street.

A proclamation calling an cleo. tion of the people of Arizona or the ratification or rejection of the constitution just completed was issued this afternoon by Act ing Governor Young. the date for the election being Thursday, February g, as set by the election ordinance adopted by the con- vention.
 The proclamation is in accor- dance with the enabling act and the election ordinance of the con- vention and the only manner in which it differs particularly from the usual run of election proclaim ations, is that all returns of the election on the constitution shall be made directly to the secretary of the territory. instead of to the various county boards of superv- isors. whereupon the return will be convassed by a board consist ing of the governor, the secretry of the territory and the chief just ice.
 The proclamation contains the usual clause providing for re- ward of $50 for information lead ing to the arrest and conviction of an illegal vote and limits the amount to be paid out in this manner to 5000.
