FATHER AND son INJURED.

One of the most remarkable runa-
way accidents that ever occurred in
this city was that of yesterday after
noon in which Col. T. B. Warren, of
the Atlantic Hotel and his youngest
son, Harvey, were injured. The colonel
escaped with a deeply incised wound
over the left eye which required four
stitches to close. The c11i1d's left arm
was dislocated at the elbow.
The starting point of the runaway
was in Fairfield avenue. The party
consisting of the colonel, his wife and
their six-year-o1d boy. Harvey. left
the stable in Cannon street about 3
o'clock, their destination being Brook
lawn. Mr.. Warren was driving a spir-
tied pair of horses. The animals firts
showed fright in Fairfield avenue near
CORTLAND street. At Park avenue Mr.
Warren turned the animals down Park
avenue He finally quoted the ami
mails and started for the stables as the
horses were too frisky.
Just after Fairfield avenue was
passed in Broad street the reins
slipped from the grasp of the colonel
and before he could regain them the
horses had rounded Elm street and
col1ided with a tree, upsetting the
wagon. Colonel Warren was stunned
for a while but shortly after rega3ned
consciousness. Eye witnesses Of the
accident say that Mrs. Warren's es-
cape was miraculous. Neither of the
horses were injured nor was the
wagon DANA ged.

PARIS. France, Aug. 5.-The mighty
battle northeast of Yerdun ragged all
night and stlll is in progress today
Charging with magnificent bravery
against the whitening fire of the
French field artillery and machine
guns. the Germans repeatedly tried to
retake Fleury and Thiaumont, but
were repulsed.
On the river Somme front, the
French and German aerial squadrons
fought the most spectacular sky battle
in history down to date There were
seventeen different combats. The
fighting Oh the earth practically
ceased while the terrific struggle
ragged high in the sky.
The German aviators. flying in
Taubes and a new type of aeroplane
were the challepgers. With battle
flags flying they circled to a height of
5000 feet, and the French aviators
rose TO meet them. The distance sep
arating, about IL miles, was quickly
covered, but the battle began at long
range. Each ship of the fleets, taking
turn about, swept swiftly toward the
nearest antagonist. keeping up an in
cessant machinegun fire. In the first
exchange two of the German machines
were shattered, their pilots killed, and
fell within the German lines. The last
act of the pilots was to turn their ma
chimes in a wide-sweeping arc, so that
they would fall within their own lines.
Soon afterward two German Fox
kers met similar fate, crumpling up
and falling, over and over, in the Ver-
dun region.
