QUEENS RELATIVES THINK
SPANISH PRINCESS MUTE

MANCHESTER, England, Sept. %,
Relatives Of the Queen Of. Spain
Lave been shocked by the news that
the second daughter OF the queen
like, her second son, will be both deaf
and dumb, says the Manchester
Guardian"
1t is feared that the little Spanish
princess is totally deaf and unless
this can be corrected she will prob
ably never be able to speak.
The pessimistic reports of the
royal physicians and specialists have
nearly broken the heart of tho
queen. She goes constantly with her
children to the converts of the re
ligious orders in and near Madrid to
ask for prayers of intercession OIL
their behalf, and particularly of late
On behalf of her young daughter.

READY FOR
NINE TEST
RESCUE TEAMS GATHER AT
PITTSBURGH IN LARGE
NUMBERS.
MEETING UNDER AUSPICES OF
AMERICAN MINE SAFETY
" ASSOCIATION.

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 22.-Miners'
teams from the coal companies Of the
Emitted States that are TO participate
in the mine rescue aud first aid field
meet, under the auspices of the bu-
rcau of mines and the American Mine
Safety association, are here in readi-
ness for the contests which take
place to-day at Arsenal Park.
Mere than 40 teams have entered
tile contests, a greater showing than
vas made at the mine safety demon
stration two years ago, which Presi-
dent Taft attended.
Secretary of Labor Wilson is 10
address the American Mine Safety
association. File had been attending
the miners field meet at Knoxville
Tenn, together with H. NJ. Wilson,
engineer in charge of the experiment
station OF the bureau of mines, and
j. w. Paul. who has charge OF the
rescue work OF the bureau.
The three government officials
reached here early this morning.
They include James l. Parker, chieI
clerk of the interior department and
Van Fl. Warrington, assistant to the
director of the bureau of Mines
Washington.
Besides the'rather spectacular con-
tests among the rescue and first ala
teams this afternoon, and the eXplo-
sion of coal dust at the experimental
mine of the bureau OF mines at Bruce
ion Tomorrow afternoon, the meet
ing of the American Mine Safety as
ISOLATION will discuss for three days
the different methods Of rescue ana
first aid work and the appliances IN
use and will endeavor to adopt stand
ard methods for use in time OF dtSas-
. ter. 1t is feared that doubt as TO the
hest method to be pursued following
disasters has led to considerable de-

start the construction OF the bridge,
tunnel and the other construction
work as soon as possible for the line
is to be completed by January, 1915.
The construction work together with
rights Of way will cost approximately
100000. y
The construction and completion
OF the Buckhannon & Northern
railroad will mean much for Fair
mont and the development of the up
per Monongahela valley 1t will give
our city and the Monongahela valley
another outlet for the great tonnage
that originates here. By the con-
struction-Of the connecting link
from Fairmont to Belington all Of
the interior of the state will be con-
neeted with the Buckhannon &
Northern and the road will have

two ways to connect the interior OF
the state with the eastern marts
and will have splendid facilities for
carrying the output of the mines to
the Great Lakes.
There is nothing in railroad con-
struction in the past fifty years
that means as much to the develop
ment of the great Fairmont coal
field and to the industrial activity
Of this valley as the building of the
Buckhannon g. Northern into Fair
mont,
There are a few rights Of way to
be secured but these will be obtain
cd within the next few days. The
amended franchise asked for in the
First ward is another matter that
has to be acted upon yet but it is not
anticipated that any serious objec-
tions will be encountered when this
matter comes up before the city
council for action.
The building of the Buckhannon &
Northern railroad into Fairmont
presents u difficult problem in con-
struction. There will be big riv-
er bridge at Catawba of 35O-foot
span across the Monongahela river,
there will be considerable trestle
work and a large tunnel. 1t is the
intention Of the company to come
into the First ward on an elevated
road. The only question that is be-
ing raised about this is that some O;
the citizens are fearful that the
plans of the proposed amended fran
chise will interfere with the con-
struction Of the big city bridge that
will span the Monongahela river in
Fairmont connecting the First ward
with the other parts of the city, but
Major Brady says that the plans of
the railroad company will not dis
turb in the least this contemplated
project.
There has been considerable agi-
tation over the entrance of the
BuckhanLnn & Northern railroad
into Fairmont for years, hut never
has there been time when the out
look was so propitous for the fulfill
ment of the plans of the company
and making the construction of the
line into the city an entclechy.
That the Buckhannon & Northern
is part of the great New York Cen
trail system will give it prestige and
the new line will be a great feeder
to that wonderful trunk line. In
the past year there has never been
doubt as to the construction OF
this line into Fairmont. If there
ever was any doubt about it is was
eliminated on June IL, when the Of
ficials of the New York Central
were here and met the business men
of the city in regard to the con-
struction of this line. The visitors
here on that occasion were Messrs.

syndicate.
This meeting was soon followed
by hearing conducted by represen-
tatives of the war department in
which the matter of the construc-
ton of the bridge at Catawba was
considered. The Pittsburgh Coal
Exchange and Harbor twenty-five,
of Pittsburgh, urged the war de-
partment or the building of q $50
foot span bridge at Catawba, while
the Buckhannon & Northern fought
through its attorneys for S0O-foot
span bridge at this point. The war
department after passing on all OF
the evidence in the case in which
there was a great deal, decided that
the bridge should be a S5O-foot span,
There has been no news in Fair
mont for many days that will be, APP
preclatcd to the same degree as the
announcement OF the fact that bids
have been asked for the construc'
ton of the Buckhannon & North
crn railroad into Fairmont.

But Her Attire Forbid the Admit
tance of the Family.

SOUTH NORWALK, Conn.-When
Miss Lillian A. Welsh, a school teach
er here, pulled down the covers of
her bed last evening she found a
frisky young alligator there. One
look was enough. Springing to the
top of her bureau she shrieked:
Put it out"
The door of the room was locked
and Miss Welsh had no desire to un-
lock it. Nor did she want any mem
Der of the Storey family, with which
she lives, TO come in. Even in her
excitement she did not forget that her
raiment consisted of a single light
garment which for the greater part
of the time was far above her ankles
Under the circumstances her cries
were misunderstood and the fire de
partment was summoned By the
time the firemen arrived the truth
had been ascertained and Miss DorO-
thy Smith, another teacher who own
ed the alligator, had seized it and
returned it to it's cage. The alliga-
tor was only eight inches long. It
had just been sent to Miss Smith
from Florida.

lie was born in BOnaVenture, near
Savannah, in 1895. He was educateu
in England and at the United State,
Naval academy. He served with De
catur in the war with Algiers and il
the Mexican war had command OF
the Mosquito division. He took part
in the capture of Vera Cruz. In 1854
he was flag officer on the Asiatic sta
ton. In 1859, while hOstilities were
going on between Great Britain and
China, he gave some aid to the for
mer and in defense OF some of his
sailors who had violated the laws of
neutrality he uttered the famous
phrase: Blood is thicker than wa
ter" When Georgia seeded he re-
signed and became captain in the con-
federate navy. He had charge of the
defense of the coasts OF South Carroll
ma and Georgia. In 1862 he became
commander of the famous Virginia.
For forty-five days the Virginia"
defied the federal navy, but finally,
literally worn out by cOnquering,
and after the evacuation of Norfolk,
she was destroyed to prevent her
falling into the hands of the enemy.
The disappointment throughout the
CyriauOnp and tho
severe Tattnall demanded a board
of inquiry, and later a cOurtmartial.
He was acquitted and justified in
public opinion when all the facts
were known. He was not successful
in the defense of Savannah, and was
compelled to destroy his fleet in
1865. He died in 1871.
