Two Inter- state Cars Smashed by Failure
of Brake to Work.

of Brake to Work.
Two electric cars of the Interstate
Railway Company were badly damaged
at the terminus at the foot OF High
street. Pawtucket, last evening about
o o'clock. The car from East Attleboro
WAS waiting at the terminus for the car
from North Attleboro to arrive. Soon
the North Attleboro car came In sight at
the top of the bill, but instead OF slack
ening it's speed as it neared the bottom it
kept right along and smashed into the
East Attleboro car driving it from the
track and across the sidewalk and half
,yav across Main street. Both cars were
more or less damaged, the dashboards
being bent and twisted. and the head
lights broken on both. The armature on
the car which caused the COLLISION was
burned out, and this was the most costly
damage. =.
The motor man of the North Attleboro
car explained the collision by stating that
the brakes would not work. Upon dis
covering this he tried TO reverse the
power, but could make no Roadway in
this direction, so he remained at his post
and awaited the crash. No one was in'
iured I'm the collision. The total damage
70 the two cars will amount to about
$500. The cars were subsequently drawn
To the barn by car sent out to bring
them in.

Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1892-03-11
MORNING APPEAL
CENSUS TAKERS.

The Albany Journal scores tn,
census takers of New York in the
following sharp manner:
t e men who took the Federal
census of 800 were sworn to do Their
duty.
The men who took the Federal
census of 1890 were liable to punis h :
msut for violating the rules and reg
ulatiuns pr .scrlhed for them.
Whenever any complaints of over
counting, as in Minneapolis and ST.
Paul, on the one hand, or of under
counting, as in the eight ward of
Albany, on the other, were made,
examinations were instituted and
errors were corrected.
Moreover, let 1t be remembered
that the census enuInerators who did
the Federal counting were paid not
for their days of service, but cert
ain sum for each name; and the
selfish consideration presented to
each enumerator was to make an
over count rather than an under
count.
The outcries against the federal
census of 1890 came from all over
the country and were almost wholly
protests against alleged under count
ing They had their chief source in
the disappointment of men who were
ver-estimating the population of
boom towns and the real estate spec
ulators and in political prejudice.
The men who have taken the New
York census of 1892 are unknown,
unsworn and utterly unreliable.
The men who have taken the New
York census are not liable TO punish
ment, and the failure to include
penalty in the law not only made the
opportunity for fraud but placed
premium on its commission. Th re-
suit is the padding of enumeration
rolls on a wholesale scale.
There has been no order; no pub
licity; no responsibility; no accuracy,
in the taking of the New York cen
sus. The entire enumeration scheme
was conceived in iniquity and exc
cutee with the dellberation and |
shameless villany which has charac-
terize1 the operations of the Hill ma
chine.
In the cities of New York and
Brooklyn thousands of fraudulent
names have been placed on the rolls,
while in the interior the residents of
the snow clad hills and snow lock ed
hills and woods have not been put in
the list
The slums of New York and Brook
yn are to be given additional and
fraudulent power. That is the es-
sence Of the matter

EDITORIAL NOTES.

That Hawaiian civilization is sim
ply a surface polish on the old
heather barbarism is shown by the
horrible murders committed by .
kshuaue, or witch. This woman be-
lisved she possessed superior natura
powers, so she set about killing all
those among her Relatives who failed
to pay her proper respect. Fear and
superstition made her family assist
her in acts of atrocious cruelty, and
now no less than twelve persons are
in Jail for conspiracy in the murder
of three natives and the torture of
forth. A severe example should be
made of the woman, for unless she
be hanged she will be sure to find
imitators.- F. Chronicle.
Nine. de Barrels, the widow of the
renowned General Justo Rufno de
Barrios, who was at one time Presi
dent of Guatemala, is about to in

York by La Campagna on Monday
last week. Nine. Barrels fortune Is
generally reputed to be worth 3d.,

her jewels are among the most costly
in the world.

THE BORDEN CASE.

Any home is likely to become the
scene of a tramp's outrage or assassin's
attack, and the fact that those who
lived there cannot prove that they were
somewhere else should not be made to
appear as sign that they were the of
fenders.-Philadelphia Inquirer.
The feature of the strange Borden
trial Yesterday was the testimony of a
drug clerk that the accused girl had
thrice tried to buy prussic acid from
him on the day before the tragedy.
Testimony of that sort may be regarded
as circumstantial by the state, but it
would need to be pieced out by many
other links before the chain would be
strong enough to bind the prisoner
Philadelphia Record.
that the prosecution has known all the
time that Lizzie was not the murderer,
but that they believe she was party to
the crime and knows the perpetrator.
II. this is so they naturally desire to
make out sham case against her in
order to hold her in their power. No
one now believes that her hand inflicted
the fatal injuries OH the victims. Such
a belief, in view of the evidence, would
be absurd.-New York Evening World.
The Borden case as mystery grows
no less mysterious on the latest testI-
mOny adduced. That the daughter could
possibly have accomplished the murder
OF the parents without even getting a
bIood-spOt on her face or clothing, or
in the least disturbing the arrangement
of her hair, seems Incredible; that she
could laugh lightly over the mere per-
turbation of servant christening a
door after herself coming from the foul
murder of Mrs. Borden seems equally
improbable. Yet the prosecution seems
to be weaving web of circumstantial
evidence of curiously convincing nature.
Buffalo Courier.
The question has been asked if Lizzie
Borden could inherit her fathers prop
erty if she is proved guilty OF his muir
der. Authorities say no. The matter
has been passed upon in several estates
where persons have made wills and
then been sent to death by some one in
terested. The courts say that no one
shall take advantage of his own wrong
doing, and have construed the interest
of the assassin to be s'dry trust" of
no benefit to him. Another trustee has
always been appointed to distribute the
estate among the heirs not involved in
the crime.-Albany Express.

MEN AND WOMEN.

Mrs. Martha Annie Rex, the aged ne
gress who recently went all the way
from West Africa to see Queen Victoria,
had put aside her small savings for fifty
years to ACCOMPLISH the trip. She is
seventy-SiX years old, and one OF thir-
teen children who in their youth were
all sold into slavery in the United
States.
The Duke of Fitzjames. who is at
present visiting the COmte de Paris at
Stowe Palace in England, uses as his
armorial bearings the royal coat of arms
of Great Britain. They are, however,

Duke Of FitZjameS, who received his
dukedom from King Louis XIV. of
France, was the lllegitimate son of
King James ii. of England and of Ara
bella Churchill. sister of the first Duke
of Marlborough.
Col. Malcolm, who has been defeated
in ArgyllShire, was the biggest man of
the last parliament, where big men
were more numel Gus than in all aver
age assembly of go. Six feet was an
average height, and there were half
dozen who lowered up to six feet four
inches. but Col. Malcolm was the big
gest Trojan of them all.
Eugene Kelly, the New York banker,
to whom the pope has given the honor
airy appointment of "Guardian of the
Cope and Sword" landed from Ireland
with 50. Ten million is now about his
size. He is seVenty-nine.
King Alexander of Servia has been at
Ems Secently, where he attracted con-
siderable attention. Although it is
scarcely more than three years since he
was snasched from the arms of Natalie,
his mother, he is now matured in both
mind and body far beyond public expec-
tatiOn, owing, doubtless, to the stirring
events through which he has passed.
AT sixteen Alexander appears on the
promenade as tail, slim. young inau,
wearing glasses and dark beard of
considerable growth.
Gov. McCreary, of Kentucky, is one
of the richest men in the state. He is
extremely popular, has an air of dignity
blended with good humor and approach
ability. He is short and stocky. with a
face clean shaven and regular in out
line. When he was elected governor. in
1875, he was little past twenty-six years
of age.

CARRYING PREJUDICE TOO
FAR

A report comes from Homestead
which cannot fail to excite general and
unmitigated disgust. 1t seems that
some of the striking union men have
withdrawn their children from the little
school house on the hill because SIX
children of non-union men are pupils
there.
There can be no sympathy among
sensible people with anything of this
sort. 1t is almost criminally foolish to
drag the little ones into this struggle
between capital and labor. They will
feel its effects soon enough in their own
bread-winning-the feel its effects
even now in other ways sufficiently to
entitle them to immunity in their letter
learning from the interference of a mis-
directed sentiment. What have the
lads and the lassies TO do with the quar-
relS of their fathers? Why should their
preparation for their own life struggle
be interfered with by senseless pref
udlce-senseless certainly when carried
to this extent? The GLOBE has no pa
thence with such unfairneSs and folly.
Strikes are bad enough at their best,
without allowing them to visit unneces-
sary hardships on unoffending children.
