INSURANCE COMPANY.
Says Would Pay Policies in Depreciat-
ed Silver if that Standard is
Adopted.

Little Rock, July S0.-The statement
was widely published by the press a
few days ago that President G. L.
Green. of the Connecticut Lille Insur-
ance Company, of Hartford, had is
sued a circular letter TO policy holders
notifying them that in the event of
the government adopting free coinage
of silver the company would be COM
PEELED to pay all claims in deprecated
silver coin.
f. w. Alsop. of this city. sent
clipping of this statement to Secretary
of the Treasury Carlisle with the re-
quest for an expression on the sub
ject. He has received from Carlisle
reply which is in part as follows:
I'm case the free coinage of silver
should be established in this country,
presume insurance companies and
all other institutions would continue
to make their payment by check and
drafts on banks as heretofore; but in
my opinion the whole volume of our
currency would sink at once to a sill
yer basis and these checks and drafts
would be paid in silver dollars or their
equivalent in gold, or its equivalent
as is now the case. 1 presume no one
supposes for a moment that it would
be the duty of the government to at
tempt to keep standard silver dollars
coined for private individuals and cor
porations equal in volue to the gold
dollar; or, in other words, that it
would be the duty of the government
to attempt under a system of free
coinage to maintain the parity of the
two metals. Dollars would be coined
to maintain the parity of the two met
ais. Dollars would be coined on pri-
vate account and delivered to private
individuals and corporations as their
own property, the government having
no interest whatever in them, and be.
ing, therefore, under no obligation to

Canton. July 20.-Perhaps the most
enthusiastic delegation that has yet
come TO Canton. arrived here from
Knoxville. a suburb Of Pittsburg. this
afternoon. They had travelled one
hundred miles In heat and storm, but
were enthusiastic, with bands and ban
ners Their spokesman. John p. Ever
hard, president Of the Mckinley and
Hobart Club, and who is also presi-
dent Of the glass workers union, act
ed as spokesman. He put the tariff
issue above all others. After the storm
Of applause which followed Major Nc
Kinley's appearance he said:
you are right, Mr. Spokesman, In
saying that the Republican party
stands now. as II has always stood, for
a sound and stable currency. and for
the maintenance OF all its money Of
every kind. at parity, and always
equal 10 the best money Of the most
civilized nations OF the earth. Depre-
ciated currency. as you have so well

That which we call money, and
with which values are measured and
settlements made. must be as true as
the bushel which measures the grain
Of the farmer and as honest as the

tolls is required TO give. our currency
today is good-all Of it is as good as
gold. and it is the unfaltering deter
mination OF the Republican party TO

You have rightly stated, sir, that
the Republican party not only believes
in sound money and the highest public
faith and honor on the part Of the
government of the United States to
all its creditors. but also that it be-
lieves in a tariff which, while raising
enough money to conduct the govern
ment economically administered, will
serve the highest and best interests Of
American labor American agriculture,
American commerce and American ci-
tizenship. (Cheersl Some Of our po-
litical opponents are given to saying
that the tariff question is settled. If
we are not wrong in interpreting their
meaning. we think they are right and
thank them for the confession. We
believe the tariff question is settled
settled in the minds and hearts Of the
American people, and settled on the
side of protection.

HOLOCAUST
Collision Near Atlantic City Results

A LOADED EXCURSION TRAIN
Crashed Into by Reading Express Traia

Details.

Atlantic City, N. j.. July 30-A rail-
road accident, horrible in its details
and sIckening in its results. occurred
this evening just outside Of this city.
and as a result about 100 persons are
either killed or injured
The Reading Railroad express, which
left Philadelphia at $40 this evening
for Atlantic City, crashed into a Penn
sylvania Railroad excursion train at
the second signal tower about four
miles out from here. The Pennsylva-
mia train was returning from Bridge
ton with a party Of exeursionlsts from
that place, MiIlville and neighboring
towns. It was loaded with passengers
and a rough estimate Of the killed and
injured at a late hour places the num-
Der at 100 At the second signal tower
the tracks Of the two roads diagonaIly
cross. The Reading train was given
a signal to stop, but 1t either failed
to work or the speed Of the express
was too great to be checked in time.
It caught the excursion broadside and
ploughed through. literally cleaying
1t in twain. The engine of the Read
( ing train was shattered to pieces. Ev-
cry car on the excursion train was
jammed TO its fullest capacity.
As soon as the news reached Allan
tic City the utmost CONSERVATION pre-
vailed. but the authorities were equal
/ to the emergency Relief trains were
dispatched to the seen loaded with cots
and bearing stats of surgeons. As
quick as the bodies were reefyered
they were carried into local hospitals
and undertakers' shops. A general
fire alarm was sounded and the de-
partment promptly responded and aid
ed in the heartrending work OF digging
for the victims. Fear grew into de-
spair and horror as the vigorous work
Of the relief gangs revealed the awful
extent Of the disaster
The first Reading relief train bore
into this city twenty-seven mangled
: corpses. men, women and children. The
next train. not an hour later, carried
J fifteen of the MANNED and wounded and
two of these died soon after reaching
| the city. As train after train was dis
/ patched TO the scene of the wreck and
came back with its CHASTITY burdens.
I the sanitarium, which does duty as the
city hospital, quickly found its ca
pacity overtaxed. Meanwhile others
Of the dead and injured were being
carried TO a private hospital at Ocean
and Pacific avenues. Edward Farr.
engineer on the Reading train, was
killed outright, as was another ra
road man who rode on the engine W
