6 CARS SMASH THROUGH SPAN
NEARWEBSTER Wreck on C. & O. Dumps ' Tons of Coal in Creek Bottom Members of Crew Escape Injury. Several thousands of dollars damage was done late Saturday night when six large steel gondola cars of a northbound C. & O. freight train crashed through a wooden trestle just south of Webster, Ind., and a small moun
tain of coal was dumped into the creek bottoms. No member of the train crew received injuries but so completely was the trestle wrecked that Sunday and today C. & O. trains between Richmond and Losantsville had to be operated over the G. R. & I. railroad. The bridge will probably be repaired in time to permit through service to be resumed on the road by tomorrow. A flange on the wheel of one of the cars was broken, derailing it and the five cars immediately behind it. These cars, operating over the ties, cut through the wooden structure at Webster, causing it to collapse. The six derailed cars dropped into the creek bottoms with a crash which could be heard a considerable distance. Practically all the people in Webster, aroused from their slumbers by the collapse of the bridge, rushed to the scene, fearing a passenger train had been wrecked. That no member of the train crew was injured is due to the fact that the locomotive had crossed the trestle and the caboose bad not yet reached it when the structure broke down. It is considered remarkable, however, that the weight of the six cars which fell through did not pull down the engine and the other cars which preceded them. The huge steel gondolas, all heavily laden with coal, were so bent and twisted as a result of their dropping into the creek bottoms that it is doubtful whether they can be repaired. The los resulting from the collapse of the trestle and the damage to the cars will amount to several thousands dollars. Most of the coal will be salvaged.

ADDITIONAL $5,990 REQUIRED TG BUILD SPAN AT TWELFTH
Although the county council at a
previous session had only appropriat
ed $15,000 for a new concrete bridge at North Twelfth street, it was
found necessary to make an additional appropriation of $5,990 in order to award the contract to the lowest bidder, Saturday afternoon. The necessity of using piling on the north
abuttment of the bridge made it im
possible for the bridge firms to come
within the appropriation. As a result of the small appropria
tion for the work, only two firms pre
sented bids to the council Saturday.
The bid of I. E. Smith was $18,000,
exclusive of piling. His was the low
est bid and the contract was awarded
to him.
On a bid of $23,000 Contractor
Smith was also awarded the building
of three other bridges in the county
They were the Short Creek bridge, on which he was the only bidder, the Centervllle bridge and McConaha bridge. The total contract price for
these three bridges is $4,620.

MUSICAL ATTRACTION PLEASES URGE CROWD CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind., Aug. 23. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather on Friday and Saturday, the attendance at the Chautauqua was large, the tent being Slled at all the sessions. The musical attraction of Friday was Brook's Symphony Orchestra, which gave the prelude to the afternoon program, and a grand concert at night. The lecture on Friday,
by Dr. E. L. Eaton, on "Ghosts, Goblins and Witches," was one of the ablest that has been delivered here recently. While abounding in humorous illustrations, it was a profound exposition of the nature and philosophy of the human soul; an able defense of the prlnoiple of Christianity and a scathing denunciation of modern spiritualism. The preludes on- Saturday "Were" given by the Emerson Winters company, and consisted of readings and monologues by Mr. Winters, and whistling by Mrs. Winters. Their entertainment was unique in character, and met with a heart response on the part of the audience. Edwin Brush, magician, gave an entertainment.
REP. FESS DECLARES ACTION UNFRIENDLY
The sinking of the Arabic is considered as "a deliberately unfriendly act" by Congressman Fess, who is speaking at Chautauqua this week. The United States is on the very brink of war, Mr. Fess declared, saying that the people did not realize the gravity of the situation or how near they were to the maelstrom of slaughter that is sucking this country toward its swirling center. It is his belief that diplomatic relations are more strained than at any other time. Mr. Fess did not say whether he believed the severance of diplomatic relations by the United States with Germany would necessarily mean war or not.
BRATON MUST KEEP PROMISES TO COURT
Three promises were made by Clark Braton, of "Milton, before Judge Com-
stock this morning in circuit court If
he does not keep them he will be brought to trial. He pledged himself to quit drinkins:: to support his wife and to hold no
resentment against the marshal at
Milton. Braton was arrested for attempting to shoot the marshal at Milton when this was prevented by quick action on the part of the official, Braton tried to stab him with a knife. Braton was drunk at the time, according to his testimony and that of the marshal. He pleaded before Judge Comstock this morning for a light sentence and Prosecutor Reller agreed that if he would abide by his promises, he would not insist on sentence being pronounced.
TURK COLLIER SUNK SOPHIA, Aug. 23. The Turkish collier Estahan and the Levant liner Tenedos have been sunk by a British submarine in the sea of Marmora, according to advices received from Constantinople today. The Tenedos was laden with munitions and provisions for the Turkish troops on the Gallipot!.

T TEAM LEAVES BASKET BALL TEAM . It will be a disappointment to many
to learn that there will be no basket
ball played at the Y. M. C. A. this year, due to the fact that it has proven to be a losing proposition. The arrangement existing that pnly "Y" teams be played made the game unprofitable for the crowds attending were not large enough to defray expenses. For instance. South Bend could not be offered sufficient inducements to come here and it would be a losing proposition to take the local team there.
The football season will start in Richmond on October 2, when Earlham plays Wittenberg.

Scraps of Play from Press Box
Walling claimed that Wilcoxen had made a balk when Stephenson hit into a double in the ninth and he was put out at second. He made a holler but the umpire couldn't see it that way and the decision stood after considerable beefing. 4 T Stephenson played his usual good game at first, accepting twenty-one chances without the semblance of an error. Before a new supply of balls arrived in the game some were used that couldn't be hit out of the infield. Minner pitched a steady game and had his opponents on the hip all the way until towards the end, when he began to show the strain. Walling got in wrong with the fans when he made his holler on his out at second and they were after him for the rest of the day. Sawdust was liberally used to make the grounds fit to play on and it helped a'lot. Manager Vigran was in uniform and directed his team from the field.
Next Sunday the Palestine, O., team will play at Williamsburg. Sullivan got a crack on the coco that put him, out for a time. Next Sunday the Dayton Oxfords will play here with the Richmond team.
ALLEYS ANTICIPATE GREAT YEAR'S SPORT
Plans for the opening of the bowling season are tinder way and the outlook for a banner season is bright. There will be a number of new faces on the different teams and efforts are being made to strengthen some of the weaker ones. It is expected that the schedules will be arranged shortly, and that the season will be opened about the middle of September. The Knights of Columbus team was to have arranged with the City bowling alleys this week, the nights they would role, but this was not found possible and nothing will be done until the middle of next week.
GAME POSTPONED.
Somersville -and New Paris were scheduled to play yesterday but the game was postponed on account of wet grounds.

CALL INFORMATION FOR BASEBALL DOPE
Baseball managers are becoming wary and as the weather man has put their business on the blink they are endeavoring to devise schemes to outwit him. Sam Vigran has thought out the latest and he has made arrangements whereby fans who want to know if a game is going to be played after a particular stormy session may do so without leaving their homes if they are provided with telephones. All you have to do is to call No. 9 and ask if there is going to be a game and if there is or is not, she will tell you. Sam is some clever al right.

COMPROMISE TRIAL FILED BY GUARDIAN
A compromise was reached this morning before the case of Sarah Calkins against the Dickinson Trust company, as guardian of Louis J. Smith, an aged and infirm man, came to trial. The jury had been called and Judge Comstock was ready to take the bench when the attorneys announced that the case would be settled out of court. The plaintiff agreed to a settlement of $400 instead of the demand for $1152 as made in the complaint. The plaintiff asked the court to fix the amount of the ward's indebtedness and for an order to pay it out of the estate. Mrs. Calkins had been the housekeeper for th eaged man for five years prior to the time he was sent to the old soldiers' home at Dayton. According to the compromise, the costs of the case will be paid out of the "estate.
