Eirz EHa IEov Sanders one ca the
IeaGirg milHaers OF this city, had a
very marrow eScape from serious injury
at the Tarauaa Hotel Wednesday
morning. She was IN the Kitchen
staudin- before the stove when the
water box suddenly exploded, throwing
hot pieces Of the stove and fhe cooking
vessels, which we're on the stove, in
every direction, some going through
the window. But luckily none Of the
pieces hit Miss Sanders. The stove
was completely destroyed.
What probably would have proven to
have been q very disastrous fire to this
little city was prevented On last We'd
nesday night by the acute alfactory
powers of County Attorney w. S.
Burch, who has a room in the st. Asaph
Hotel. Mr.. Burch was awakened about
midnight by the odor of smoke in his
room. He immediately. sent the
alarm to the night Clerk. When the
clerk opened the office door to enter
the hallway, he found it full of smoke.
He rushed to the the cellar where he
located the fire near the furnace. By
hard work he managed to put out the
flames without giving the alarm.

Judge Edward F. Hallen of the Probate court was today unanimous 1y renominated by the Democrats of this probate district. The convention was held in the Hotel StratfieId and was a most enthusiastic one It was featured by two fine addresses one by Attorney Robert G. DeForest who seconded the nomination and the oth- CT the candidates speech accepting the honor. Judge Hallen was in ex- .cellent voice and spirits and his ad- dress reused the delegates to the highest pitch Of enthusiasm. His ref erence to the great work of Presi- dent Woodrow Wilson brought forth prolonged cheers
 The convention was called to order by George M. Coughlin chairman of the probate committee. Former Re- presentatfve John H. Candee of Eas- ton was chosen chairman and Thomas F. White of this city secretary.
 The credentials of the delegates were accepted and several proxies an- nounced.
 After the nomination of Judge HalIen the chair named a committee comprising of Alderman Daniel E. Walker, Laurence James Gill and Ed win c. Shelton to escort Judge Hallen to the convention hall The appear ance of the candidate was the signal for hearty applause
 Following the speech of acceptance the convention adopted a resolution in troduced by MT. Gill reappointing the former probate committee comprising g George M. CoughIin, chairman, Thom- as F. White, John J. Conway, Robert G. DeForest, Edwin c. Shelton of Monroe, J.

where they wandered for five days without food. Finally, they were found by advancing Germans in a half deIirious condition.
 The first mentioned officers were attacked by the local residents armed with shotguns. One of the Germans succeeded in seizing the village magis- trate as a hostage and while he kept his pistol at this officials head his companion repaired the motor. They then made the magistrate mount the aeroplane which luckily was able to ascend with three passengers and speed away.
 The two men whose machine was wrecked when it came down were dazed and stunned from their fall. Inme ediate1y they were attacked by a group of French peasants armed with pitchforks and scythes. The Germans held these men at bay with their re- vo1vers until they reached the dense woods in which they hid. The peas ants and soldiers hunted them for days They lived on beets and the only water they had was dew which they sucked from leaves. Their minds gave way under the strain and they were burning with fever when a, Ger man patrol found them

 Four cars and the locomotive were overturned into the gully, swollen to a temporary lake which runs beside the track The chair car and the smoker were submerged. At 9:3O this morning seven bodies had been taken from the chair car but it is thought that every person in the two cars was drowned. This estimate was based on statements of trainmen as to the number of passengers in the two cars
 Lebanon reported by telephone that the locomotive plunged off the track into the, gful1y, dragging along a mail car, baggage car, the smoker and a chair car. Four sleeping cars did not leave the track. Most of those caught in the wreck were in the chair car.

Democratic Town Chairman Comments on Result of
 Maine Election

The Maine election shows the peo- pie are in sympathy with the policy of President Wilson and are endorsing his administration, said Democratic Town Chairman William T. Mullins today, in discussing the election of Mayor Oakley c. Curtiss of Portland Democrat, over Gov. William T. Haines of Waterville, Republican. Curtiss' majority is reported to be about 3.5S7.
 T think the result indicates concise ly that our people believe in and de- sire the presidents policy regarding Mexico and the attitude he is main taining to successfully keep this coun- try from becoming eInbroiled in the awful conflict now raging in Europe. I think the people of Connecticut are of the same minds as the citizens of Maine, and that they will show this by their votes at our election in No Avenber.''

WON KL UCK'S NEXT
 MOVE IS PUZZLING
Amateur Strategists Unable to Solve Plans of Big
 German Force

Paris, Sept. 15.-Amateur strategists find difficulty in arranging General Won KIuck's retreat for him while the professionals wisely admit that they don't know what destination to give to tile beaten army. The probability is that von Kluck himself does not know exactly the forces in retreat, not being always master of their own movements.
 Having passed the line of Com piegne and Soissons, where 8 defense has been prepared, it was thought he could not make a stand before the Mouse was reached Yesterdays, com interest, the first saying the allies had crossed the Aisne river and the second stating that the Germans were trying to make 8 stand on the Afsne. No doubt the line referred to in the latter communication is that from Laon to Soisson, which is the most favorable position for rally this side of the Mouse. A halt there, however, is ac- companied by immense danger from a danlxing movement and the experts look for news of a, continuation of the retreat today.
 A rigid censorship leaves room for all sorts of hypotheses. One of these is that the allies in their retreat south left a. strong force at Rheims which is prepared now to make trouble for the armies Of Generals Won Kluck and Won BueIow or the armies of General Won Hausen and the Prince of Waert- tennberg, thus preventing another con centratfon movement towards Sedan, which is considered the only chance of connecting the entire force.
 Another confusion has arisen regard ing the army of Crown Prince Freder- 4ck William reported operating in the forest of Argonne. The Crown Prince also is said to have evacuated LOT raine, which is contradictory, for the army in Argonne has not yet succeed ed in getting out and at last accounts was in great danger of being in part at least kept in These troops are threatened by both Verdun and Rheims and have only narrow and difficult passages to get through.
 Important developments for today in this region are hinted at, but the war office keeps it's secrets so well that there Is no possibility of concluding what is exactly expected, although the natural supposition is an enveloping movement by the army Of Verdun. Train loads of. booty, wounded and prisoners continue to arrive from the line of General Won K1uck's retreat but details of the actions are entirely lacking.

Vienna, Austria, Sept. 14-1o p. m-- Via Paris, Sept. 15, Il a. m--The news of Russia's increasingly victorious oc- cupation of eastern Galicta is exercis- ing a depressing influence in Austro- Hungary, Any report which seems halfway encouraging is welcomed eag- erly.
 Anxiety is felt in higher circles, however, manifested by long confer ences constantly held at Schoenbrunn with Emperor Francis Joseph.
 Last Saturday the Emperor received Count Won Birchto1d, the minister of fereign affairs. both in the morning and afternoon. There also have been several conferences since last Friday of the minister of war and the Aus trian and Hungarian prerniers.

Springfield. Mo, Sept. 1s-Thirty to forty persons are reported to have been killed and many injured when the St. Louis and San Francisco train known as the Texas Iimited,'' crashed through bridge near Le- banon, Mo, early today. Telegraph and telephone lines between here and the scene of the wreck were prostrat- ed by a severe storm and details are lacking.
 According to meagre information reachfng here the train plunged through a bridge over Brush Creek, a. small stream four miles east of Ls- banon Heavy rains recently had caused the stream to rise and it is believed this weakened the struc- lure.

 It is fair. to conclude, says Colonel S4aumslxy, that the Russian successes on the Austrian front and the Russian movement in east Prussia, were the primary causes of the victories of the Anglo French army The shocks ad- mnistered by the Russian army, he declared, have been so powerful that the Germans were obliged to recall a portion Of their troops from France thereby facilitating the French task.
