at least one Martinsburg young

nearby. This evidently was done
with the idea of keeping any one
from obtaining knowledge of what
had been in the car and also with
the idea that the booze mights be
recovered later. Had the occupants
of the car figured on the liquor re-

were fooled for two or three young
men, who watched the young woman

II Is yet impossible to move him
for the purpose of X.raying and IL
cannot be definitely stated as to
whether there Is fracture, but
the chance Of their being one Il
believed to be the only factor that
would prevent speedy recuperation.
The injured man has lived 81

drawback is the fact that he has
been hardly worked since the strike
because Of his widespread knowl-
edge of practical railroad affairs.
He is native of Piedmont and
started out with the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad as mere lad. At
one time he was connected with
the passenger service at the Cum
berland office. He came here some
years ago in the capacity of freight
agent, but later was selected as a
assistant to the division trainmast-
er. The railroad employees, strikers
and all, regarded Charley Tony a.

Dublin. Aug. 2S-Michael Collins
late Commander-in-C Chief of the Free
State army was buried in GIasnevin
cemetery today alongside of other
roted Irish patriots. while all Ire
land mourned. The funeral was
one of the largest and most impress
sive in the history of Ireland. Great
pro- Cathedral was crowded with
mourners from all parts Of Ireland
as Archbishop Byrne pronounced the
requiem mass.
Fighting, precipitated by irrcgu
lars, threatened to mar the funeral
services. At daybreak, a party OF
irregulars made an attack near the
pro-cathedral, but were driven off
after brisk exchange of shots.
Business At StandstilI
Business in Dublin and through
out the greater part Of the Free
State was at a standstill during the
Gay. Masses for the repose Of the
soul Of the late patriot were said
in many catholic churches and prac.
tically all the important Free State
cities were in deep mourning.
Long before the hour set for re
QUEEN mass in pro-cathedral in Dub.
lin, large crowds representing ev-
cry walk Of life were thronging the
streets outside the edifice.
Fiancee Overcome.
The catafalque, before the altar
was banked high with flowers. Close
by the coffin, brother and sister
OF the deceased, accompanied by
Miss Catherine Herman, his fiancee,
knelt in prayer. Behind the family
group were members Of the cabinet
officers Of the Dali Eireann, army Of
ficers and members of various mu.
nicipal governments and civic or
CARNATIONS.
Miss Kiernan was overcome com.
pletely by her grief, Sobbing hys
terically, she left the cathedral be
fore the service ended.
To the left Of the Irish officials
sat a group Of British officers in
uniform, symbolic Of the mourning
Of Britain for the famous Irish sol.
dier. The cOnsuls Of various ma.
tions sat with the British. The black
mourning attire Of the civilians was
relieved by the green uniforms of
Free State army officers and robes
Of the Dublin corporation and Dub.
lin university.
Admission BY Ticket
On account of the vastness Of the
crowd, admission to the church was
by ticket, as Collins had come from
the plain people, the tickets had
been literally distributed among the
commercial owners. While the ser
vices were under way, crowds Of wo-
men, and bareheaded men, knelt in
the streets outside. mulmuring pray
ers.
A procession Of priests, acolytes
and choristers, chanting the Mis-.
erere, opened the services, moving
slowly about the catafalque. Then
the archbishop, ROBBED in black, gold
and purple, chanted the requiem
mass. Throughout the ceremonies,
six officers of the Dublin Guards
stood by the coffin
