Election Figures,

An analysis of the vote cast in
West Virginia on Novemb ber s,
shows that about one in four Of
all the Republicans in the state
failed to vote. The Republican
vote fell off about 80, 600, while
the Democratic vote fell off about
10000 as compared with 1908.
This result is not at all disc ourag.
ing from the Republican stand
point. 1t does not mean that
there are any fewer Republicans
IN West Virginia than there we're
two years ago. IT does mean that
a good many of them we're dis.
satisfied with conditions, national
and local, aud failed to take the
usual interest in the election.
NJ ost of these dissatisfied voters
are Republicans at heart and will
continue so. They hope and ex-
pect that conditions two years
from now will justify them in
voting the Republican ticket, and
it is up to the Republican leader
ship and organization in West
Virginia to create issues and pro-
duce conditions that will tend TO
draw back to the party those who
have left temporarily and so
strengthen their loyalty to it,

Frank MilIender Burned Out.

Louisa, Ky, had five thousand
dollar fire on Tuesday morning, De-
cember 81. Two frame buildings
were destroyed--one occupied by
Clyde Hamilton as a bakery and the
other by the Big Sandy Produce
Co., Frank MlIIender, manager. The
ire originated in the bakery from
an unknown cause. In speaking of
MIR. MIlIender's loss the Big Sandy
News says:
"Mr. Millender, fortunately. will
not sustain much loss. On the day
preceding the fire he had sold all
his geese and turkeys and had ship
ped out all mis- chickens but one
coop, and that was In the poultry
pen, which the fire did not reach.
a little wool. some beeswax and a
few eggs were burned, together
with some fixtures. Two hundred
dollars will probably cover his
property loss. Mr.. MiIender had
no insurance, having let his policy
expire in November last without re-
newal," +"
The buildings belonged to F. H..
Yates of Louisa and were not In
sured. Mr.. Hamilton carried seven
hundred dollars insurance, but the
News states this will not cover his
loss by three or four hundred dol
lars.

Il. & o. Calamity.

A terrible catastrophe occurred
,on the Baltimore q Ohio railroad
at MERGERS Bottom, 80 miles from
this place, Tuesday morning, De-
cember 81, in which four lives were
lost.
The cause Of the wreck was a
result of train crew misinterpret-
ing orders, and one of the worst
wrecks in the history of that di-
vision.
1t seems that west-bound freight
No. 900, had orders TO wait at Gal
lipolis Ferry for two sections of
east bound freight No. 73e. The
first section of the east -bonnd train
was double header, and this is
what is supposed to have caused
the trouble. Upon the arrival of
the double-hcader at Galllpolis
Ferry, the west. bound train pulled
out, the crew thinking tie order
had been Intended for those two
engines, instead Of another section.
The train proceeded on down the
line, and had scarcely gotten under
full beadway when the second sec
ton Of No. 736 was sighted. The
engines were so close to each other
that the engineers could not stop
them, they coming together with a
terrible crash. Force of the con.
nectlon was such that the engines
were rendered into nothing scarce
ly better than pile of scrap iron,
while ten cars we're also practically
demolished
-Four of the crews were killed
and two badly injured.
The dead are:

The injured are:

Brakeman j. +. Lovall, New

The wreck occurred on straight
line Of track, but the heavy pail Of
fog obscured the crews from each
other until it was too late to stop.
Wrecking crews were sent from
Huntington and Parkersburg, while
the dead and injured were removed
TO the same towns.
