HIGH POINTERS I'm THE WRECK

Messrs. Alf- and FL. A. Moffitt were
passengers on No. 80, which ran into two
cars of lumber at o'clock Tuesday
morning near Charlottesville. The en-
gineer was killed outright and the fire.
man died few hours afterwards. Some
fifteeE passengers in the front cars were
injured, none seriously and no loss of
life resulted. Alf Mofitt says that all
received bad shake-up. He was in his
berth when the crash came and had diff
Guilty in finding his shoes, which had
been thrown down the aisle from the i'm
pact. Everything was disarranged in
the cars. No 81 was running more than
40 miles an hour when it struck the cars
of lumber, which had, for some unac-
countable reason been left on the main
track. They. were delayed over four
hours, arriving in Baltimore about noon
Wednesday.

Echoes From the Election
This Month

People have been asking for the
past several days why isn't there
more news about the election in the
newspapers" The fact is there isn't
anything of importance to give 9th.
er than that already mentioned, un.
til recounts are made in s. veral dis
tricts and states throut no 1t the
nation and the official vote record
ed. Really a president isn't elected
until about three months after the
election when the electoral college
meets and then sometimes their. &C.
ton is not final, the matter going to
Coneress in two instances in the his
tory of the nation.
In a nutshell returns from the
election this month show that Presi-
dent Wilson has been reelected, al
though the final official count in
California to show, the majority, is
now being concluded. 1t is said by
those who have made the count be-
fore that his majority will not be
less than 5000.
AS the vote of california decided
the election the Republican national
chairman wanted the vote recount
ed. This will be officially conclud-
ed within the next few days.
Candidate Hughes congratulated
President Wilson yesterday.
Minnesota shows majority of
about 200 for Hughes but a recount
NAV be demanded by the Democrats
although this state does not chadge
the result as to Wilson being the
winner, except it would give him
larger electoral vote.
In West Virginia there are several
indictments brewing for election
frauds as well as Indiana, Illinois
and other states.
In Pennsylvania the democrats
are expecting to get two new mem
bers of the House.
In the Tenth North Carolina dis
trict the Election BoarC gave the
victory to Weaver, democrat. Britt,
renublican, claims he was elected
by 13 majority sbut the Board says
that three precincts were not OH
ciallv canvassed at the time and
when this vote was in Weaver had
q majority of g.. The matter is now
in the state court and will possibly
be hard fought and finally decided
in congress.
North Carolina shows q democra-
tic majority Of abetWeen 45 900 and
10000 and the aMaadments. carried
by approximately $4,000 majority.
The national congress is very close
beth democrats and republicans
claiming a working majority. 1t is
possible the few independent and
socialist votes will decide which
party has the majority.
Wilson's popular vote Is about
holt a million over all candidates,
excee ling by over one million more
votes than ever cost for success
full candidate and exceeding his vote
of years ago of over two million;
These are about all the facts OF
interest to our readers not already
dwelt upon, until the final ofhClol
vote nv state ia announced.

Demands Deeds Not Words.

Paris. Dec. g, 10 d. m.-The popu- lar demand that reorganization of the conduct of the war, promised by the Thursday vote in the chamber of deputies, be both rapid and radical has received further stimulus by the more outspoken and more insistent Stephen Pichon, writing in the Petit Journal, says:
 By the result of Thursdays dis cussion in the chamber the govern ment escapes responsibility for facts which are a consequence of it's policy and undertakes to carry out measures which it had more or less promised five months ago. The fulfillment of these obligations will! not be avoided by speeches, half measures and con- tradictory acts in which the inten- ton to spare one Or another is per- ceptible or which, under the cover of novelty, will perpetuate and increase the muddle.
 There are spots where clean sweep must be made to make way for absolutely new work. As to cabinets of twenty-four, with places made for friends holding no real authority and in which too many ministers fold their arms, their day is over. The nation wants something else and the country demands that it's will shall be obeved without an instant of delay. Other wise graver and more dangerous ra- sponsibility will be incurred. It Is perfectly clear that the present situa- ton cannot last. The conflict will change nothing. It cannot prevent the truth from breaking through the clouds in which it is enveloped nor the country from demanding to be in formed as to what is being done''

MAYOR WOULD MAKE
 LAKE STREET WIDE
Would Thus Do Away With That Part of Crossing Where This Morn-
 ing'S Accident Occurred.

Following the fatal accident at the Washington street crossing this morn ing George A. Quigley announced that steps taken by John B. Miner of the National Spring Bed company and himself on Thursday toward the wid- eding of Lake street at the Washing ton street crossing, helping to elim- mate the possibility of further acci- forward immediately.
 The plan has been previously sug- gested to widen Lake street east of High street so that it will intersect with Washington street on the high way and not on the railroad track as at present. To do this would necessi- tate the city paving the Russell & Erwin company s4,000 damages for a strip of property, the site of the old tack factory, and paying the National Spring Bed company $9,00O for the property. MT. Miner advised the mayor on Thursday that his concern had, been offered a price for the prop erty at the corner of Lake and Wash ington, but he hesitated about selling it as he did not want to embarass the city in case the widening of Lake street is to be consummated.
 According to the plan which Mayor Quigley has in mind Lake street from High street to Washington would be so widened that it would run to Wash ington street approximately parallel with the railroad and with West Main street, thus effectually doing away with the present crossing at Lake street.

ERA OF CRIMES AND
 SLAUGHTER BY VILLA
Uribe Ear Cutter'' in Charge and Many Women
 Were Slain.

El Paso, Dec. 9.-The first newspa- per printed in Chihuahua City after it's recapture by Carranza forces reached the border today with addi- tional details of the fighting against Villa and a story of the atrocities committed there by the bandits.
 After a battle lasting four days, the paper says, the Villa forces entered the city on the night of November 26 and later that night captured the ar tillery on Santa Rosa hill.
 At five clock on the morning the 27th, the defenders of the city found themselves short of ammunition and from that moment the era of terror began.
 General Trevno decided to save! the artillery he had already placed. on a train for emergency uses and left for Aldama, twenty miles to the north east, his troops marching the dis tance.
 After Trevino's departure, General Ozuna fought on for some hours or until he had succeeded in loading several trains, which went north / to Sauz.
 General TrevinO, reOrganizlng hlS forces, next marched from Aldama to Bachimba Canyon, about thirty miles below Chihuahua, where he joined General Murguia, who had been work ing up from the south. As they came north on November 30, they en- countered a bandit command under Jose Ynez Salazar. Martin Lopez, Bau- delio TJribe and others. The fight be- gan twenty miles below Chihuahua City and lasted from 9 a. m. until dark. The bandits left five hundred dead on the field and lost a number of prisoners, according to Carranza off, cers.
 The paper explains that this was entirely an infantry action on the part of the government forces, so that cavalry had to be brought up before the pursuit could be effected. All bandit parties overtaken were exter- minated, it was said.
 Villas occupation of Chihuahua City the paper says, was an "era of crimes and assassinations." Among the murdered were many soldiers wives who remained with their hus- bands through the battle. Baudelio Uribe. "the ear cutter" led in the slaughter.
