.Eiqht Cars of EaStbound Train
No. IL Are DeraiIed by "a
Broken Rail.

More than 100 passengers on east
bound Baltimore and Ohio railroad
passenger train No. 70, due at the
Clarksburg station at 5:37 p. M,
miraculously escaped injury or death
when eight cars Of the train were de-
rallied in tunnel No. l8 near Cairo
at 4:O5 o'clock Saturday afternoon.
All the passengers were trans
ferred to a special train made up on
the scene and were brought to this
city, where they were treated to din
ners by the railroad company at local
hotels. No one was injured, not even
slightly, so far as is known. At least
no one reported himself as having
been hurt.
The accident was caused by brok-
en- rail, but how it was broken, rail-
road officials have not as yet deter
mined. although action Of the heat
is believed to have been a contribut-
ing cause.
Both the Grafton and Parkersburg
wrecking trains with their crews
were sent to the scene Of the wreck
at once to replace the cars upon the
the track. No damage to speak Of
was caused the cars that went off
the track as the train was going slow
ly as is customary when passing
through tunnels in that section,
The wrecking crews worked well
into the night at the scene OF the
accident. In the meantime trains
were being detoured by way Of New
Martinsville over the Short Line and
Ohio River branches. Westbound
train No. 55, due here at Cos p. M,
was sent over the Short Line and
eastbound train No. 4, due here at
1901 p. m. was detoured by way Of
New Martinsyille also, arriving here
at midnight.

carefully with Mr.. Catlett the plans

OF course, the executive committee
does not presume to pass upon this
proposition as an investment, though
careful figuring indicates that it will
be safe and will pay reasonably good
dividends. What interests the COM
mittee most is the fact that the West
Virginia Business College is erecting
a building to house school which
now has over 225 students and which
with adequate facilities in the way of
dormitories, instruction rooms, ETC.,
will undoubtedly within another year

In the European War is What
Russian War Minister
Now Predicts.

PETROGRAD, July 29.-The present
strategic situation gives ground for tho
conviction that a complete victory IN
the European war will be won by the
Entente Allies, declares General D. 8.
Chouviaeff, the minister Of war, in a
statement made to the Associated
Press on the military situation at the
close Of the second year Of the stuggle.
"Uninterrupedly preparing during
forty years for an attack upon neigh
boring countries, the Austro-Germans
in the first period Of the war" said
General Chouviaeff, "were naturally
superior to their opponents in the
quality Of the means Of warfare pre-
pared by them. But desire to break
the enemy created a great spirit Of en-
thusiasm among the people Of the
countries Of the antl-German group,
which people, ardently taking up the
work of providing their armies with
the necessary supplies, built up with
in a short time new military indus
trial enterprises many times increas-
ing the former production.
1.-THE end Of the second year of the
war was marked by the results of this
patriotic upheaval among the Allies
which found expression in success
full adoption Of the offensive by their
armies, now abundantly supplied with
war material and powerful artillery
"In compile unity with all the AL
lies. the Russian army month and a
half ago dealt a destructive blow from
its left flank, and from that time has
uninterruptedly continued one blow
after another against the AustroiHun-
garians. In the same way, our Cau-
casus troops are perslsting in driving
the Turks from supposedly impreg-
nable heights In Asia Minor.
"Thus at the beginning Of the third
year OF the war, strategic conditions
which have now become favorable for
the Allies on all the fronts, more than
ever give ground for the conviction
that complete victory will be gained
over the enemy"

During the trial Of the case, which
was bitterly fought, the gypsies
claimed that Evelyn was not Of sound
mind. Mental experts came from the
University Of California and made
tests, showing that she graded 100
per cent in intelligence and sanity.
This disposed of the subterfuge of the
gypsies.
Mrs. Hickman says the girl returned
to the band the jewelry which she
wore at the time of her escape, ex-
cept string of pearls given to her in
Honolulu by member of the Ameri.
can colony. She was dressed in
American clothing for the first time in
years, discarding the picturesque cos
tune she wore as gypsy. The girl
is able to read and write, and says she
learned by bribing schoolgirls for ten
cents each to teach her. She was com.
PEELED to do this slyly, as she made
her way about the cities as beggar
and fortune teller. The gypsies were
opposed to her obtaining education of
the most meager sort
