Efforts that the commission Is now at
work.
The sympathy which Mr.. White has
always shows with the Iaborers is ex-
planned by the fact that when at the age Of
Is years he left his fathers farm near Co
lumbus Junction. Ia. to seek his own for
time, he began by working as q laborer At
$l.15 day on railroad in Arkansas His
prosperity since his coming TO Seattle five
years ago is the result of his own energy
and business ability. and he is thorough
representative of the new Seattle which
has grown up on the site of the old frontier
village.
Mr.. Whites action in council has always
been prophetic of what would have to be
done in the future. and time has always
proven the correctness of his conclusions.
He has been regular in his attendance at
the meetings of council, and voted on all
important propositions. He has shown
himself TO be public-spirited and philan-
thropic citizen, and it is fair to presume
that he viii continue that devotion to the
public interests which he has shown in the
past.

A Frightful Accident.

There was u frightful wreck on the
Chesapeake l. Ohio Railroad at
Stanton, Va. early last Monday
morning. The Cincinnati and Wash
ington express, due at Staunton at
a III. was two hours late. At about
three o'clock the station platform
was filled with railroad men and
loungers. who were waiting for the
train. When it came up it was going
at fearful rate of speed-about
seventy or eighty miles an hour-and
the engine looked as though eDvelop-
ed in sheet Of flames. Those on the
platform quickly got out OF the way,
and as the train dashed by, some
thing struck the baggage car and
tore a cash in the side, but that
coach and the remainder of the train
kept on The rear sleeper, as it was
passing the station, careened little
and struck the platform covering. 1t
tore upsevera iron posts and wrecked
the whole platform structure. The
sleeper kept on, and pitched into the
eastern baggage house, brick build
ing, which is fifty yards beyond the
station, crushing in its front and COM
pletely wrecking the building. The
sleeper then turned over on its side,
and the car was shattered in thOus-
ands of pieces If the sleeper had
gone on fifty feet further ii would
nave rolled down steep embank-
ment, and there would not have been
a person unhurt. AS soon as the Aus
terlitZ turned over the people hang
ing around the station rushed TO the
car. The whole end OF ii was torn
out, and those within were grooming,
and some of the women were shrek
ing. The city fire alarm was sounded
and the firemen, assisted by citizens,
rescued the passengers. Some of the
men crawled out, while others had to
be carried from the car. The car con
tanned the Pearl of Pebin" opera
troupe. Miss Myrtle Knox singer,
was killed, and several others very
badly injured, a couple of whom may
die. The accident was caused by ~
brake rod falling, thowing ballast
among the air brake connections,
rendering the brakes useless and
causing the engineer to lose control
of his train. He blew for brakes
when he saw he could not stop. The
baggage master used the conductors
cord, but that did not avail either.
The engineer got control of his train
on an up grade.

The Opening Of the Snake Season.

Prosecutors in Winston county,
Ala, had a most exciting encounter
with reptiles a few days ago. the par
ticulars of which have just become
known. 1t is well known that for
years snake den has existed in that
county, and travellers have told of the
remarkable number of huge snakes
to be seen under a certain rock.
Climb up TO the rock above the den,
and seemingly thousands of snakes
appear below writhing about as in
agony, entwined about each other in
dropped down into this den an Odor
arises which, it is stated, almost rem
ders those above unconscious.
A party of prospectors visited this
noted den few days ago, and one of
them, having heard the story of the
sickening odor emitted from these rep
tiles, concluded TO test it, and drop
ped stone. The odor was more sud-
den than usual, and stronger than
ever known before, and the prospec-
tor, it appears, being unable to repel
its effects, became dizzy and fell into
the den below. His horritied com
panions looked over the precipice and
saw him fall among the snakes and
then supposed that he was killed.
But when he struck the shelf of rock
which was occupied by the snakes he
rolled off and fell, his body striking
the branches of tree where he
lodged AS he fell from the den it was
seen that snake was clinging to his
arm, around his body, and still an
other around his leg, but in some al
most miraculous way these were all
knocked OFF by the branches of the
tree which he fell into.
His companions ran at once to the
bottom of the mountain, then went
to the tree, which they climbed, and
found the unfortunate man alive,
but unconscious. They took him TO
a neighboring cabin, and ii was found
that, while he was considerably
bruised and had broken arm from
the fall, none of the snakes had bit
ten him in any exposed part of the
body, and he was not injured by his
thrilling experience except, as stated,
from the fall.

He Was a Travelling Bar-Room.

A dispatch of recent date from Bal
timore says: Page Rea and Alex
ander Vane are prisoners here on the
charge of selling liquor without a
license. They were travelling ven
ders until Deputy Marshal Cole slip
ped the handouts on them on Friday
at Cambridge, Md. Vane travelled by
himself, and was probably the most
original travelling saloon III the
country. Years ago both Of his
in a railroad accident, and he cannot
use the stumpS or artificial members.
He wanted to earn q living, and be
gan in this way: a country tailor
made a heavy sack coat for him with
three very large pockets, one on each
side and one in the back. Each
pocket was divided by canvas parti-
tons into four compartments, hold
ing four pint bottles, which his part
ner filled every morning. Two sets
of bottles contained rye and another
set Bourbon whiskey, SO that Nane
started out each day with just six
quarts of 'tanglefoot.' He travelled
around among the farmers, and
wherever men were at work he was
sure to be found some time during
the day The man who wanted Il
drink would take one of the bottles
from his pockets, unscrew the flask,
let the exhilarating fluid trickle down
into his esophagus, replace the bot
tie, and drop nickel or dime into
smaller pocket in Vane's coat. In
this way Vane says he often cleared
from So to $3.50 per day. AT length
the attention of the United States au-
thorities was called to the matter,
and his arrest followed. He has en-
gagged counsel, and his plea will be
not guilty, as he did not actually sell
the liquor. The attorney says Vane
is no more liable than nickel-in the

GETTING READY FOR BUSINESS.

That the Republican party feels
that it is in a precarious condition,
and that only desperate measures will
save it from overwhelming defeat at
the approaching fall elections, is
shown by the utterances of its lead
ers and their preparations for the
fight. In his speech at Pittsburg the
other day Speaker Reed said:
Speaking for myself II seems 10 me that
the only wise course is to take into Federal
hands the Federal elections. Let us cut loose
from the State elections, do our own regis
tration, our ocn counting and our own certii-
cation. Then the nation will be satisfied.
Speaker Reeds plan is to have Re-
publican officials appoint Republican
judges, Republican inspectors and
clerks, Republican marshals, Repub-
lican returning boards-and Republi-
can election officers generally. 1t is
safe to say that with partisan officials
in charge of the vote and the voter
from beginning to end the elections
could be made TO insure the success
of that party without much trouble.
This is most outrageous piece Of
Federal interference in elections.
Of course, but it is in line with the
measures of the Republican leaders.
Nothing that will interfere with their
schemes to perpetuate themselves in
power will be considered. 1t will cost
according TO a calculation of the Phil :
adelphia Times, about $4,000, 900 for
each Congressional or Presidential
election, which will have to be paid
from the public treasury. 1t will
cause the country to swarm with cor
rupt and INSCRIPTIONS politicians
whose duty it will be to carry the
elections without regard TO the con-
sequences. 1t will stir up strife and
in the South bring back the days of
the carpet-baggers. 1t will disarrange
the election system that for years has
been good enough for the people and
that is good enough yet for every
body but the politicians.
This looks like thoroughly safe
scheme for the Republicans, but
The best laid plans of mice and men
