JOHN ROBINSON'S BIG ELEPHANTS
COME TO RESCUE'OF WELL
KNOWN ENGINEER.
(Special to West Virginian.)
JIORGANTOWN, Aug. 26.?A freight
train on the B. & 0. railroad was derailed
at Corbin this-morning. The
engine and 16 cars were dashed to
pieces. A broken ran was he cause.
The englneman escaped death by Jumping.
Th engineer, James Calcolm, of
this city, was caught when he leaped
from the cab, and Imprison^}, In the
wreckage. Not a cut, bruise or scracth
did he receive, and where he was looked
as If It had been Unlit for his protection.
Rev. William Holcomb, of
Corbin, said: "His escape Is surely
miraculous." So tightly were timbers
wedged about Malcolm that human
hands could not budge them, and he
was In danger of being burned alive,
as the wreckage had caught fire, and
tie names were spreading, nis cries
for help were heart-rending.
Fortunately two sections of John
Robinson's circus were closely following
and these were flagged. The keen
thoughtfulness of Governor John F.
Robinson displayed Itself, and the elephants,
eight In number, were quickly
unloaded and taken to the scene of the
wreck, WHlch was in the centre of the
town. 'Bactl," 200 yars old, the mother
of Jumbo, rescued the Imprisoned
engineer. She wound her trunk
around -the debris, heavy timbers and
rods of Iron, and pulled them from
about the engineer, as though they
were so many toothpicks. Then the
old girl proudly took Malcolm In her
trunk and carried him td a point of safety.
He fell In a faint, and was resuscitated
with some difficulty. The other
elephants were taken to a stream
and commanded to fill their trunks
with water. They got a Wg supply
and going back to the wreck, threw
water on the flames. After three
trips they had the lire oat. Trains,
passenger and freight, were blocked.
Traffic was entirely suspended. All
mall trains were held up. The wreck
|r'n was sent for. But the elephants
did their work for them before they
arrived. In less than two hours, they

a quarter of a million rotes is
what Paul M. Hawkins was able to
show when the votes were turned In
Saturday evening and this has transplanted
him from fourth position to
the head of the roll of honor and ranking
first for the pony outfit.
The voting Saturday evening resembled
more a general election when the
result was In doubt and the election
warmly contested, as everybody their
friends and their friends' - closest
neighbors were In before the time was
up to do their part towards getting
the benefit of the double vote for the
favorite candidate. The 'phone was
kept busy answering Inquiries such as
"am I too late to get some votes In,
how much do you say a yearly subscription
will count, etc." The
large vote waB not confined
either to any one candidate, as the
four leading contestants (or the pony
outfit la district number one all came
out of the show down with over 200,000
votes.
Freddy Eddy who had second plaCS

Impossible in making changes In the

on which she will attain a better position
In the race.
In class number five a change Is
made In the roll of honor and Miss
Bell Wilderman goes to the head of the
