Slide</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV align=left> </DIV>
<DIV align=left> As a result of the heavy slide on the Norfolk
and Western near Glen Alum, which was reported in yesterday's Daily Telegraph,
train No. 4 did not arrive in this city until 2:45 in the afternoon. The
track was cleared shortly after noon so that trains could get by, but the men at
work had considerable trouble with dirt and stone still sliding in on
them. The slide was one of the worst the division has seen in years, fully
3,000 cubic feet of muck and rock covering the track with more coming down all
the time. It was more than twelve hours before trains could go
through. The Tug Fork train came to this city as No. 2 and returned as an
extra passenger train. All passenger trains going east and west except No.
16 last night were held up by the slide, which occurred on a single track where
men have just started to work excavating for double track.</DIV>
