SUNDAY MORNING WRECK
in Which Caboose and Coal Car Are
Consumed by Fire.


On Sunday morning last an unusual
wreck occurred on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad at a point three and a
half miles west of Oakland, in which
three trains were involved, and which
constituted, according to railroad men,
double rear end collision, but fortu-
nately no one injured
The wreck took place directly in
front of the Taylor-Cfutt Coal Com
pany's dump and was caused by the
blowing out OF the cylinder head of
the front train. Before a fagman
could be gotten back a second train
came along and plowed into the first
one, doing but slight damage, however.
The fagman Of the second train was
on his way back to signal anything
that was approaching, when a light
engine struck the rear of the second
train, throwing the caboose upon the
top of wooden car loaded with coal.
The trainmen had fire in the car and
the Goals being scattered about be-
cause Of the impact and its flight up
ward, the caboose was set on fire and
entirely consumed, the flames connmu-
nicating themselves to the wooden
coal scow which was also partially
consumed before the railroad men who
had been summoned from Oakland
and Hutton arrived at the scene. AS
result of the wreck passenger traffic
was held up several hours.

Clocks Turned Back Early October &c.

Many persons in the city and state

daylight-saving plan ends on October
l. This is not true. The clocks and
watches are not to be turned back an
hour until Sunday morning, October
&c, at o'clock. At that hour the time
pieces will be put back to IL o'clock
midnight. Due to Congress passing
bill over the Presidents veto, doing
away with the daylight-saving plan,
there will be no more turning of the
clocks ahead or back in the future.

YANKEES VISIT
STYLE SHOW IN
REVIVED PARIS

PARIS, Aug. 16.-Three hundred
American buyers are here in attend
ance at the first real display Of
styles attempted in this country
since the commencement of the war.
Brown is the favorite color at the
showing of new styles, and there
is a tendency to continue short
lengths in skirts, much to the dis
pleasure Of the American buyers,
who insist upon the more liberal
use of materials. 1t is probable
that the French and American views
on this point will be adjusted by
compromising.
The Americans are more inclined
than usual to display an independ-
ence of French dictates, and it is
considered likely that French dress
makers hereafter will find it to
their advantage to pay greater at
tention to American ideas.
