Atlanta, June 12.-Mrs. Marie Low
enstein, a pretty young woman of No
543 Beecher street, broke down and
wept Monday in Judge T. o. Hath
cocks division of municipal court,
when, after she had told story of
threats on her life, Judge Hathcock
assessed a peace bond of 81 900 for
her husband, Herman NJ Lovenstein.
of No. 10 Pulliam street. The trial
was dramatic throughout.
81 don't want him to go to jail
Pm afraid of him, but / don't want
him to go to Jail. Oh, this is all SO
terrible" she sobbed
Lovenstein had just informed the
court he was unable to make the bond
and would have to go to Jail.
The fixing of the bond followed a
statement by the husband that his
wife's love had been won by another.
but denying that he had any inten
ton of harming her.
L uluol dullll, Judge, tnat | still
love her-I would be willing to work
ten years for charity if l didn't care
anything for her and could forget
her. he cried with emotion.
Declaring that he had sought to
maintain his wife as a queen" he
suddenly pointed his finger at her
dramatically, and exclaimed:
There is $55 dress now that |
purchased for her. And not only
that, but she has four handsome
spring hats, three pairs of shoes and
sixteen silk shirtwaists. I>make only
$3.50 a week and can't afford such

France Orders Engines
to Haul Troop Trains;
Baldwin Gets Contract

Philadelphia. July 26.-An order
for $50 locomotives, to be used in
transporting the American troops in
France and for other purposes in
conjunction with the maintenance of
the American lighting forces on the
front has been placed with the Bald
win Locomotive Works. The cost of
the engines will amount to $1,000
600.
The total number needed for this
work is 500, and they are needed
quickly. Because of the need for
speed in filling the orders the con-
tract has been divided between Bald
wins and the American Locomotive
Company. An official of the Baldwin
company said that the speed with
which the locomotive can be turned
out depends to a great extent upon
whether the materials can be Sc
cured as rapidly as needed. Work
will be started in the near future
upon the contract.
The Baldwin concern recently Sc
cured contract from the Russian
government for $50 locomotives to
cost about S14,000,000, while a SINH
lar contract was awarded to the
American Locomotive Company.
Baldwin's are also busy upon a con-
tract to furnish the British govern
ment 100 consolidation freight en-
gines, which will cost approximately
$4,000, 900, making a total of 500 en-
gines to be constructed in the imme-
diate future.

RAILROAD RUMBLES
NARROW ESCAPE
FOR PASSENGERS
Harrisburgers on Buffalo Ex-
press When 1t Ran Into
Wreck at Coatesville

Harrisburgers en- route to Harris
burg on Buffalo Express last night
had a narrow escape and received a
severe shaking up. The express,
travelling at fifty miles an hour, side
swiped a freight wreck at Coatesville.
All the windows on the right side OF
the train were broken. Several pas
sengers were cut by flying glass.
None of the Harrisburgers were in
jured.
]. Marvin. Fifth street and Snyder
avenue, Philadelphia. and Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Krier, of Buffalo. n. Y, were
cut about the eyes. They were re-
moved to the hospital and their in
Juries dressed and later resumed
their journey.
John Christy, of Philadelphia, the
engineer had no knowledge of the
freight wreck ahead of him on No.
track until he sideswiped a carload
OF coke. He applied the emergency
brakes until he thought his train
had gone up in the middle. His loco
motive was completely put out OF
commission.
Engineer Commended
Jesse Wilson, of West Chester, was
the conductor on the express. After
matters. had become calm Conductor
for his presence of mind in bringing
the train to such a sudden standstill
Names of the passengers were
taken TO Williamsport, it being a
Northern Central equipment. The
cars were replaced on the tracks
and sent to this city for repairs
Another train was made up here and
sent north.
Two local freight trains were shift
ing on No. track. Engine No. 1880
had gone west to place some cars
and the crew was ordered to return
to the same track. In the meantime
it is said. the other shifter placed a
draft of cars, loaded with coke. on
the same track east of the station.
Engine No. 1880, head on, went
west on No. track, crashed into
the draft of cars and telescoped the
first one. The passenger train due a
few minutes later received no warn
ing.
The Coatesville fire whistle sounded
a trouble call for the guardsmer
guarding the Pennsylvania Railroad
bridges and the soldiers guarded the
tracks until everything was cleared
away. Traffic was not delayed. Trains
were passed around the wreck or
east bound tracks.
