A heap Of blood. stained timbers
turned aside by one of the rescuers
brought 10 sight a wnnan's arm. 1t
had been wrenched off, almost by the
roots, and nothing remained but
dripping stump, even the hand
being gone. 1t had been clad in a
dainty white linen glove, the sleeve
of which clung to it. Not five min
utes later a chance blow from a pick
revealed still more ghastly remnant,
human heart that only few hours
before had been throbbing with life
and love.
One woman whose body was recov.

plate bearing a picture of Atlantic
City. 1t was unbroken. Scattered
about the ground near the wreck were
many pieces of clothing which had
been torn from the bodies of the vic.

Seventeen unidentified women,
four men and female chill, all dead,
were brought to the excursion house
after midnight. Fireman Kelley Of
the Reading train was fatally injured.
1t is said that the Reading signal was
displayed and that the whistle OF the

The excursion train bore five tribes OF

the Niagara, the Iowa, the Anwanetah

and children.
The ringing OF the Ere bells gave
the Atlantic City public the first init

The utmost excitement prevailed.
The board. walk was deserted and the
crowds that surged about the two
railroad stations rendered the streets
in those sections almost impossible.

ic end, threw up her hands with a
frantic shrek and fell dead at the feet
of her informant.

Injunction Modified.

ATLANTA, July 30.-A copy OF
Judge Simonton's order restraining
the railroads from cutting rates, was
served today on Commissioner Haines
of the Southern States Freight associa'
ton. The court modified the injunc.
ton yesterday to allow the Seaboard
Air Lines cut of 33 per cent. to re
main in effect until August 8. This
was to allow the road time TO give the
required 10 days notice before ad-
vancing rates. As the situation
stands now, the Seaboard has reduced
rates good for nine days more and the
other roads are enjoined from meeting
the cut. The order was also modified
to ALLOW roads to run excursions.
The hearing on the restraining order
is set for August Is.

The Strength of silver.

Those people who imagine that the
cause of silver has no following In
the North and East are not posted on
the trend of current history, but take
their views from those who are bound
ed by narrow environments, and do
not respect the reports from the field at
large. The following conversation
between Senator Smith, of New Jer-
sey, and New York newspaper man
shows the strength of silver sentiment
in New Jersey:
is there any silver sentiment in
New Jerseyl"
Yes; much more than is generally
supposed. The agricultural element
of each party is affected to a consider
aole degree by the enthusiasm OF the
Western farmers for this idea. 1t will
be no easy task to over come this en-
thusiasm wherever there is a large
agricultural element" ;"
Then you do not foresee walk
over for McKlnley2"
On the contrary, | am convinced
that if the election was to be held next
week Bryan would win. People here
in the East do not appreciate the hold
the free silver idea has taken upon the
masses of the entire West and South.
They believe they are right in princi'
pie, and they will be impressed more
and more as the campaign progresses
by the personality of their candidate. "
What Senator Smith SAYS of New
Jersey, others are saying in other
Statets of tn" East and North, and des'
pite the ridicule and abuse heaped on
the Chicago platform and Democratic
nominees by the papers of New York,
it is by no means any impossibility
that New York's electoral votes will
90 to Bryan in November. If you
are disposed to doubt this, read what
the Democratic County Chairmen of
the State of New York say about the
outlook in their respective counties
published in this issue.

of Mr. Bellinger. As he stepped to the
front of the stand, he made the follow
ing statement in g. very deliberate
manner:
"Refore begin my speech, l want
10 refer to you and through the press
to the people of the State to matter
that transpired at the last political
meeting, in the county of Florence, OF
which you have all heard. 1t must
be considered in two aspects. AS to
the first, no one could regret the occur
renee more than l do. A circuit Judge
should obey the law. In the second,
I have no apologies to make, because
when became a judge, Ibid not as a
man fol get my manhood. As long as
| am a man, and as long as God lets
ME live, never will insult fellow
man, nor will permit any man to in.
suit me without resenling it. So much
for that.
This was all Judge Earle said on the
subject. He theu repeated his defense
of The attacks made on bis political
career which had BEEN lnade several
times heretofore He had always
urged his friends to hold up the cover
nor of the State (rillman) after LIE had
been elected. After dwelling on this
for some time, he launched out into a
splendid speech on the silver question.
Ii was Just such speech as he delly-
cred al Florence before the trouble
began on last Friday. 1t WIS an able
aud thoroughly comprehensive argu'
ment a powerful speech.
He wished 10 discuss the tariff but
did not have time. He appealed TO
them to work together to redeem the
country from the grasp OF the money
power. He was loudly cheered.

A Earmers' Fight.

The State Alliance. at its annual
meeting in Columbia last week, passed
the following resolutions:
Whereas, the manufacturers and
wholesale deaHRs III cotton ties have
advanced prices of ties about IS pc,
cent over last seasons while the
market price of steel only justities ar
ad vance Of ten per cent, thus furnish
ing us with another evidence that this
is day of trusts and combines against
all producers, and whereas suitable
wire can be had at a cost of IL cents
per bale against % cents a bale for ties
thus etfecling a saving of IL cents pei
bale Oh the crop, which amounts to 8
saving to this State alone OF 1928, ,OO(
on one years crop, therefore, be it,
Resolved, That we ask all Alliance
men and farmers Interested in the bal
ing of cotton in this State and the cot
ton States to CO operate with us in
breaking down this new formed trust
by placing their orders at once fol
wire to be used instead of ties in bal
ing the present crop of cotton.
And your committee further recon-
mend that our State business agent be
requested to at once obtain all infor
nation as to the supply and cost oi
using this wire as substitute for iron
ties and report to all sub alliances, and
that our agent also be directed to cor
respond with the agencies of the Other
Southern State.
In their fight against this trust the
farmers will have the sympathy and
CO operation of every right thinking
man in the State. The farmers
whipped out the jute trust, and they
can whip the cotton tie trust if they
will 20 in and stand shoulder to shoul
der. 1t is righteous fight and they
will win.

Mr.. Duncan said this cry OF rebates
was the old cry of stop thief. lie SAID
that when Col. Mixson had refused to
take the rebates offered, and Governor
Evans was visited by that official, the
governor had said: by God, Mick,
know you are not getting dollar
of this money, but you know that Ben
Tillman filled his pockets out OF it
Cheers
Just here, Mr.. Duncan was notified
that his time was nearly up. The state
ments he had just made had created q
considerable stir. One or two cried
out, Give him more time.
Mr.. Duncan then asked them not to
let their prejudices make them blind.
He hoped that the hurrah OF today
would give way to sober reflection to-
morrow. Governor Evans had said
that they could not vote for Judge
Earle, as he was too late in getting on
the bandwagon.
He attributed the loss of his seat in
the general assembly to Evans oppo
sltion to him, due to the fact that he
had sworn to fight Evans bill. Those
who knew a bad man best, talk more
of him. When the truth goes home
to intelligent people know thy Will
do their duty. There were cheers foI
Duncan and Evans. If Evans were
elected, he said, he would give hln
his support. He would stand by The
movement, despite such a man.

Newport Mercury.

There is an importance in this years
State election that does not appear to be
appreciated. The explanation given for
the extreme quiet OF the campaign Is that
the dominant party is perfectly confident
of the success OF its candidates for the
State Offices and the General Assembly.
But the simple election OF these candi-
dates is not enough. The result of the
vote next Wednesday will be taken as an
expression OF the sentiment OF the people
ano an indication of the States position
in the Presidential and Congressional elec-
tions TO be held later in the year. Every
voter OF the state, therefore, should make
a point OF going to the polls next Wednes-
day and casting a ballot for his party
nominees, not only that they may be elect
ed but that their election shall be ac-
complished by the largest majorities pos
sihle.

Vast Combine to Control

Said to Have a Capital of Three
Hundred Millions.
Sales Agents Have Received Notices
of Advance in Prices.

CHICAGO, March 31.-The iron and steel

lutte control OF few men who are banded
by the strongest bonds Of common inter-
est and who have, at a conservative estl-
mate, not less than $500, ,000 600 at their
disposal
The details of the transaction by which
was effected were mapped out in New
York last week, and the final move was
made in Pittsburg. Pa, and Birmingham,
Ala, yesterday. The men in this i'm
mense combination are in a position now
to say how much iron ore shall he con-
verted into iron and steel and at what
price it shall be sold.
The steel rail mill fixed price OF S2S a
ton on steel rails at Pittsburg, and all
other mills sold at the same price with
the freight from Pittsburg added. This
meant that the Illinois Steel Company
could sell ct s29 aud the Colorado fuel
could name the lowest freight rate took
all immediate sales. The new pool makes
a price OF $40 ton on the steel billets at
Pittsburg, which is s3 over Its former
prices.
All Western sales agents, nearly all Of
whom have their head office in Chicago,
have been notified of the advance, and
also have been notified to guarantee no
sales for later than April delivery. Among
the concerns said to be in the com bine are
the Carnegie works, Bethlehem Iron Com
pany, Bethlehem, Pa, and Illinois Steel
Company of this city.

said to have been recently formed in
Pittsburg. He also denied that the Illi-

Paw,uxet Valley Daily Times.


In nominating for reelection the gen.
tlemen who LED the Republicans of Little
Rhody TO victory last year the State con-
vention did we'll. Happily. not q dis
senting voice was heard during Its delib-
erations.
As matter OF course our Democratic
friends will feed their hopes upon ru-
mors of Republican disaffection. In the
absence OF any chance of success, they
will originate these-as boys whistle In the
dark TO keep ghosts away. Meantime,
however, good Repu blicans will see that
they do not by dissensions among them
selves afford the opposition the slightest
encouragement, leaving the Democracy,
for want of better ground or reason, to
the hopeless task of trying TO lift them
selves by their own bootstraps from the
slough of political dependency into
which the results of the national policy
of their party have plunged them.
This year elections ever Vwhere necessar-
lily turn upon national politics, and this
is especially true of Rhode Island. Let
every Republican so vote, and so en-
deavor TO properly influence every other
vote that Is to be cast next month, that
the protest OF this State against the mis-
rule which has wrought such havoc wit
the industries OF the country may be
most emphatic. Let each Republican re-
memb Der, that in SO doing he will be ex-
erting favorable influence upon the
presidential prospects of a distinguished
New Englander, who is now so deservedly
central figure in national politics.
