HIS STOMACHCRUSHED
Terrible and Fatal Injury of James
Thompson, Jr.
TOOL KEEPER OF THE SANTA Re SHOPS

Falls Under the Cars-DIes soon After
the Acctdent-Other Railroad News.
An accident in the Santa Fe yards last
night resulted in the death of James
Thompson, Jr., tool keeper at the Santa
Fe shops.
Thompson had been at the river bank
watching the rising water, and was re-
turning to his home at % B street.
While he was going through the yards
below first street switch engine with
some box cars came along and he
climbed aboard to ride part way.
The cars were left on the siding be-
tween Third and Fourth streets, and
Thompson stayed upon the car seated
upon a brake wheel Some other cars
were pushed upon the siding, and before
Thompson was aware of their approach,
they ran against the car he was on and
threw him to the track. The momentum
of the cars kept them going, although
there was no engine attached, and
Thompson was caught in some way by
the brakebeam and wedged under it.
In this position he was pushed and
rolled along the track for couple of car
lengths until Monte Wells and some
other switchmen heard his cries and
stopped the Car. The man was still con-
scious but unable to release himself. He
was wedged in so tight that it was i'm
possible to drag him out and it was nee
eSsary to unbOlt the breakbeam and take
it off in order to rescue him.
This took several minutes and the man
suffered terribly while it was being done.
He was placed upon a stretcher and
taken to the dispensary and Drs. Gibson
and Eggleston were summoned
On examination it was found that there
were no bones broken, and that the skin
had not been torn in the least and no
blood was visible. About the waist and
almost encircling it was a bruised belt
four or five inches wide. The doctors
found that the mans stomach was ter
ribly crushed, and that there were no
means of saving him The unfortunate
man also realized it. He sank steadily,
and at eleven o'clock, an hour and quar-
ter after the accident, he died
His father. James Thompson. who is
also EMPLOYED in the Santa Fe shops, was
present half an hour before his death as
wag also his brother Fred who works in
a printing office up town.
The body was removed to the family
residence. The young mans mother,
who was visiting at Leavenworth, was
autographed for and arrived today The
funeral will take place tomorrow.
James Thompson was twenty-one years
of age and was well thought of among
the employees of the Santa Fe shops
where he was tool keeper, and had been
a member of the railroad Y. N. c. A

By the Associated Press
WASHINGTON. March 3l.--The presi-
dents veto OF the Bland bill has result
ed in proposition for a national con-
vention for the west and south to form
a new political party, based on the de-
msnd for the free coinage Of silver. The
proposition comes from certain radical
Democratic congressnen who believe
that the time has arrived when the
party's salvation in the west and south
demands it should repudiate ence and
forever eastern domination in financial
Gratis who are at the head OF this move
ment declare the veto of the Bland bill
shows that the administration has g ct
its face toward the single gold standard.
Representative McLaurin (Dem.) Of
South Carolina, has taken the bold ini-
tiStive step. He has prepared the
proposition. and it will be followed, he
says, by cal signed by the Democratic
silver congressman. Mr.. McLanrin Gays
he has talked with many of the south
ern and western members Of congress,
and he had yet to find q single Demo
crat who has not agreed with him that
the time has come when eastern tinan-
cial ideas must be repudiated.
First, he says, it was thought this
movement must take the form OF con-
vention of the governors of the states
interested, but they are 80 widely sep
esrated geographically that it was
feared united action could not be OBJ
tanned. 1t was, therefore. decided to
call national convention. He said
that in the fight he believed that was to
follow, the dividing line would be the
Allegheny mountains and the Potomac
river-the south and the west against
the east. Party lines would not neces-
sarily be drawn. Members OF all parties
would be invited. Tho issue would be
g solely monetary one.
Representative Tracey Dem of New
York, the anti-silver leader of the house,
says OF the proposed convention; 1t is
rule or ruin proposition which cannot
prove effective. 1t will simply strength
en- the administration. 1t would be q
queer spectacle to see the south reject
tho alliance of New York. The interest
OF the south depends upon its ability to
cooperate with the Democratic states Of
the north. Even il such movement
proved effective 1t could only result in
weakening the Democratic vote in the
north and giving the northern states to
the Republicans. The south will not
jeopardizs it's own interest by carrying
such movement very far"
representative Bland said the plan
had not yet been submitted to him. He
was inclined to regard il as chimericsl,
but said the Democrats OF the south and
west would never be again sold. They
would put none but tried and true siI-
yer men on guard hereafter.
careful inquiry among other Demo
cratic congressman indicates that very
few are now prepared to join Nc.
Laurin's new party. Most of them say
the movement will result in nothing inn
portant.

WASHINGTON. March Sl.-The state
department has received a cabegram
from Mr.. Blackjack, at Apia, Samoa,
fully confirming the news brought by the
Associated Press cable message from
Auckland yesterday, of a native upris-
ing. Mr.. Blackjack has been United
States counSul at Apia for many years
past, but his successor was recently ap-
pointed and confirmed, and Mr.. Black
lock is simply acting as consul-general
until relieved. The absence of war
ship at Apia at this juncture ia a matter
of regreat at the state department., but
it is difficult to see how one OF our ves-
asls can be sent there without resorting
to interference with the plans of the
navy department. If. however, it is
decided to send ship, the choice would
probably fall upon the Charleston. She
lett Rio harbor about two weeks ago to
20 by easy stages around Cape
Horn and then northward to San
Francisco, and is now at Montevideo.
If ahe receives orders for Samoa she
must go trst to Valparaiso, Chill, to
take on coal and it will require good
deal of this to carry the ship 5000 miles
across the South Pacific ocean to Samoa.
About month would be consumed in
this voyage from Valparaiso and no one
can tell what may happen at Samoa in
the meantime unless one of the German
or British vessels in the south Pacific
comes to the rescue of the foreign
colony. Consul General Blackjack q
telegram states the rebels are under
command of the old leader, Tamasese,
who gave 80 much trouble to Malietoa,
the king, last year. A number of bat
ties have taken place on the island west
OF Apia.. SO far the government forces
have been successful. Finally an armis-
tice was effected, but upon what terms
the consul does not say, but he does ex-
press the opinion that there is no hope
of permanent peace, as the natives are
in hostile mood and cannot be re-
strained.

Darlington and Florence Counties In q
State of Insurrection.
COLUMBIA, S. @. March 31.-The fol.
lowing account ia the situation as
summed up by the newspaper friends of
Governor Tillmsn:
The governor has declared Darlington
and Florence counties in a state Of in
surrection. The report that he has de-
clared martial law over the state ia un-
true. He has also ordered the railroad
authorities to not tronsport any bodies
OF men unless authorized by him. The
railroads have thus far refused compli-
ance. The governor has also ordered
the telegraph companies not to transmit
any news of a warlike tendency. This
order has likewise been refused compli-
ance.
The Lally rifles OF Orangeburg and
company from Aiken will reach here to-
night. The 10 Geenville county compa-
nies are under orders, awaiting instruc-
tions to move. The situation is very
grave. 1t is understood 500 citizens of
Columbia have signed paper agreeing
to go to Darlington to assist the citizens
who are after the constables. 1t is re-
ported an attempt will be made here on
