TORE OFF HALF THE CAB.

The ATLANTA Special" the fast train
of the Seaboard Air Line, narrowly
escaped being wrecked yesterday
morning.
The accident occurred at Youngsyille,
not far from Raleigh.
The yestibuIe there passed freight
train that was side-tracked. The
switch was all right, but one Of the cars
was beyond the stop" post and jutted
over the main track.
The atlanta Special" came whirl-
ing along at it's usual fast rate and
before the danger was seen the engine
Of the yestibnle had collided with the
rear end of the box car.
One side of the cab-the side on
which the engineer has his seat-was
almost knocked into splinters. Mr..
Bill Allen was the engineer, and his
hand and arm were painfully wounded.
1t is a wonder that he wasn't killed
The front part of the engine passed
the freight car, but when the project
ing cab came along there was a col
lision.
No. SAC was the engine Of the vesti-
bule, the finest locomotive on the Sea-
board Air Line. 1t took the first prize
at the Atlanta Exposition, and had
been running regularly on the line
only week or so.

A Hundred Nine Owners En- Route to

AS Jolly crowd as has struck here
in quite a while was the train-load of
Colorado mine owners that passed
througA the city yesterday.
The party probably represented more
wealth than any that has before passed
through Raleigh.
Aboard were people who had found
sudden fortune in Leadville, some who
had hustled for the dust in Denver,
and some who had struck it rich at
Cripple Creek. In the crowd there
were no paupers, and the man who had
only a fortune was not in it with the
millionaires.
The aggregate wealth of those
aboard was some sixty millions.
They had come from Denver by way
of Forth Worth and New Orleans, and
most of them wore the snowy badge
of Mardi Gras. In the party were a
few over hundred people. They &C.
occupied four vestibule Pullmans. j.,

Kansas City Star.-There is nothing
surprising in the information that
comes from London that England is
threatened with an invasion of AmerI-
can pig iron" That is the logical con-
sequence Of the reduction In the tariff
tax on the raw material which enters
into the production of pig iron. While
1t is not strange that intelligent Brit
ons should not see cause for alarm It is
marvellous that Americans should be
anxious to restore that condition which
will give England a new lease on the
industrial life Of the world. The cleo
ton Of Major Mckinley to the presi-
dency would foreshadow the re-enact-
ment of the tariff schedules which held
the United States in the embrace Of in
dustrial bondage. The defeat OF the
protection champion would mean the

the Industrial and commercial suprem-
acy Of the United States. The people
