pose is to make soldiers, not ruffians

REUBEN P. KOLB
Talks About Governor Jones' Proposal
 to Stop His Little Game.

Reuben F. Kolb, in reference to the scheme he proposes to adopt December l, is quoted in the Tribute as follows in a conversations:
 aYes, Jones is always watching out for a sensation, especially where he can come to the front with his military talent. He is morbid and egotstic and good deal of a crank. ''
 "I suppose you expect to hear from him again9"
 "Well, it is not for me to make up his case. It IS rather surprising that he does not see that three- fourths of the white peo- pie of Alabama consider him in the light of a usurper, and that he has held his office for two years merely by sufferance without a shadow of legal claim to it,
 "You propose to try to stop that kind of government then?'
 'sl propose to offer the people the oppor tunity to stop it. We wanted a contest law. We asked it of the last legislature, but in apparent defiance of us it repealed the sections of the code of 1886, which made some step toward granting contest of election of state officers and put nothing in ing our demand. No man who knows the feeling of the present legislature believes for a moment that it will do anything to allow an orderly and full contest of election of Oates, as the constitution requires it to do. The most sacred rights of the people have been out ragged, and all that Jones means is, if they do anything to right themselves, he will shoot them to death. know the people better than he does, and l know what their feelings are and what their determination is. They have been cut down to the last point of endurance. They don't want any advice from me or from anybody else. No, they know Tom Jonea, and they remember all they have borne from him, and they see clearly that the only hope of free elections and liberty in Alabama is in themselves. They are not revolutionists. They are brave men who have children to feed and clothe and provide future for. -

HURLED TO DEATH. A Carr V Load of People Struck
 . by an Engine w %l DISASTROUS RESULT IoI S .1ree People and Two Horses killed-The Engineer Blew
 Danger Signal.
DISASTROUS RESULT

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 20--A south bound accommodation train on the Chest nut Hill branch of the Philadelphia and Reading railroad ran into two- horse car riage, containing John Horace Meacham, aged 70 years, his wife and Mrs. Harriet Smyth, at 10;35 o'clock this morning at the East Washington lane crossing in Ger mantown. Mir. Meacham was killed, as was also Patrick Lacey, aged 57 years, the watchman at the crossing, who mad seized the horses heads and endeavored to back them from the track. Mrs. Meacham re- ceived a fractured skull, and died shortly afterwgrd in the Germantown hospital. Mrs. Smytb was slightly injured. Both horses were killed outright, and the vehi- cle was smashed 10 pieces.
 It Is supposed that Mr. Meacham, who was driving the team, did not hear the ap- preaching train, and was not aware of the danger until he had driven upon the track. Engineer Morris Lacey states that he did not see the team until within two car lengths of the crossing. He then saw the horses on the track, with the watchman, Patrick Lacey, at their heads and en- deavoring to back them. The engineer blew the whistle and reversed the ocomo- tive, but the collision could not be averted, and the watchman and team were struck and hurled some distance away.
 MT. Meacham Was a retired business man and lived in that vicinity. The watch man had been in the employ of the company about twenty years, and he was killed within few feet of his home.

 At today's session of the cham Der so- cialist deputy, the irrepressible Juies Guzde, created an uproar by denouncing the late Czar Alexander III as the execu- tioner of the Poles. He obtained the recog- milton of tine president to offer an inter- pellation to the government demanding a statement as to the reason for govern mental cancellation of the decision of the municipal authorities of Roubaix to estab- lish in thats town a cost price drug store and number of law offices wherein work ingmen could obtain legal counsel at nom- inal cost. In pursuing his demand Guzde declared that the various municipalities still seemed to be ubject to rulers such as kaisers and czars. The speaker was inter- rupted by several deputies. but contin ued by saying: "One may be French without being Cossack.''
 M. Habert shouted: "You don't repre- sent the French workingmeni' Where upon Guzde retorted: "Workingmen will not forget the executioner of Poland.' '
