SOFIA. Bulgaria tvia London). Sept.
2:-Bulgaria apparently is on the
brink OF war. The people generally
believe that hostilities are imminent.
The military authorities have taken
possession OF the railroads and ordi,
nary traffic has been suspended.
The Bulgarian government an.
nonnced last night that the territory
ceded by Turkey along the line OF the
Dedeaghatch railroad would he occrl.
pied on October G. The official trans.
fer will occur on October II. at which
time the Bulgarian administration will
bo installed.
Diplomatic representative here OF
the entente powers generally recog.
nize that their cause Is lost one anil
that Bulgaria is manireSting clearly
a tendency toward the central powers.
This is due to dissatisfaction OF the
government nj Serbia's reply in the
negotiations for territorial concession
in Macedonia and at the conduct Of
Greece in this connection. None OF
the representatives here of the allies
cherish longer the hope that Bulgaria
can. be prevented from joining with
Germany, Austria and Turkey.
In government circles the statement
was made today that nil the military
measures which have been taken are
OF u preventative nature designed sole.
ly to guard against circumstances
which might threaten Bulgaria's posi-.
tion In the present situation.
Reports from many parts OF Bul.
garia tell OF enthusiastic demonstra'
tions IN favor OF the government. This
is considered symtomatic OF public
feeling which. does not Ignore the fact
that The country Is near TO war.
II was learned today that KIM Fer,
dinand replying last Friday to the as,
sertion OF leaders Of the opposition
party that the allies would be vic.
torious, said: "The entente is not
sure of winning. Nothing indicates at
this moment that such will be the
case. II Buigaria's chances OF obtain.
ing Macedonia depend thereon. thes
may never be realized. My govern,

REVERSE DECISION
OF CIRCUIT COURT
Supreme Court Lays Down
Rule Affecting Municipal.
Contracts.

CHARLESTON. W. Va, Sept. 22.-
The State Supreme Court laid down
a rule affecting municipal contracts
that will have bearing on work be.
ing done by numerous municipalities
in this State. In writing the opinion.
Judge Miller reversed the Circuit
Court Of Ohio county in the Atlantic
Bltulithic Company versus the town
of, Edge wood. :, r..y.s.. .,sS
The opinion holds that thoughsthe
estiamted amount OF f1work and ma.
terial callul for by contract aggre.
gates sum In excess OF the bonds
and an amount beyond the constitu.
tional limitation, the contract being
partible, and susceptible of execution
10 the amount OF the bonds and TO the
extent such municipality is permitted
10 become indebted, Is void only as
TO the excess OF work and material
contracted for. and may be enforced.
Another point decided was that an
informal discussion OF proposition
at an informal meeting OF the member
OF municipal Council, but on which
no formal action Is taken and no min.
ute made, though there was general
understanding as to what should be
done, does not constitute municipal ac-
tion binding municipality"
In affirming the Ohio County Cir.
cult Court in the case OF Andrew D..
Seamon and Arabella Seamon against
James A. Dyson and others in which
Dyson and o. 4. Statler were accused
Of swindling the Seamonsl out o $780,
900. Judge Lynch. writing the opinion
OF the Supreme Court, held that the
evidence did not show that Statler
obtained any OF the money through
gambling transactions as charged.
while not attempting the useless
and difficult task OF giving an analyti-
cal exposition OF the voluminous
proof" says the opinion, 1--WE may now
express the opinion and conviction,
consequent upon thorough examina.
ton OF all such testimony, that Il is
wholly insufficient to warrant any de.
cree other than that entered by the
Circuit Court. Except on one particu.
lar, Dyson Is wholly vindicated and
absolved from any imputation OF un.
fairness or dishonesty In the transac.
tions from which plaintiffs claim to
have suffered great pecuniary losses" "

recover they alleged was lost in a
