NINE OF A FAMILY KILLED.-Nine
out of family of ten were killed on a
railroad crossing near Sherman Heights,
suburb of Chattanooga, yesterday
afternoon. The accident occurred
where the Georgia division OF the South
ern railroad crosses Arrison avenue.
The family. whose name was Wood
ward, and consisted of ten members,
mother and nine children, were in the
wagon. The mother and six of the
children were killed Instantly, and the
other three were dangerously hurt.
Lizzie Montgomery, comely young
matron, descended On the pilot of the
locomotive and still held her two year
old sister, who escaped with a few
scratches, and was the only one saved,
in her lifeless arms. They lived eight
miles out in the country and were 60
ing to Chattanooga. The father, w. J.
Woodward, was already in town.
They failed to notice the signals given
by the trainmen, and death came 10
them before they were aware of their
danger. Both horses were killed and
the wagon utterly demolished. The
shock to the train was so severe that all
the window glass in it was Jared to
fragments. The bodies of the dead
family were taken to an undertaking
establishment in Chattanooga soon after
the accident. Two OF the children, WHO
were not killed instantly, died shortly
afterwards.

An innocent little two line paragraph
in the Record this morning stating the
fact that during the reading of certain
bill yesterday, "Mr. Bryan entered the
hall and was loudly applauded by mem.
bers on the democratic side," evoked
from Mr.. Barrett Immediately after the
reading of the journal, the inquiry as to
whethe or or not the truth of history was
correctly represented by the statement.
He moved that it be stricken out of the
permanent record.

Reed stated with emphasis; "the chair
will direct the omission of the words"
Mr.. Lacey presented the conference
report upon the bill to amend the act

AS THERE is no American consul who
has been more reticent in respect of his
official relations than General Fitzhugh
Lee, consul general at Havana,
the following alleged statement of his,
telegraphed to New York newspaper,
is not generally believed and is entirely
discredited by those who know him
best, and with whom he corresponds ::
'From the momentl | landed, my
American blood began to boil, and if |
stay here much longer and am forced
to witness all the indignities heaped
upon my countrymen without restraint,
it will literally all boil away. They
trample on our flag, hiss us on the
streets. Americans are murdered, mob
bed and imprisoned; indignities are
heaped upon our women, and every
atrocitv conceivable for Spaniard to
put on Americans is thrust upon u.s."
For him to talk this way would
prove that the President made great
mistake in appointing him, and none OF
those familiar with him could be in
duced to believe, unless substantial
ted by his own signature, that he ever
made any such statement to a news
paper correspondent. If he did, it
wouldn't be at all strange if the report
that his exequatur has been revoked
by the Spanish government be true.

THURSDAY EVENING. FEB. 25. 1897.

IT SEEMS that General Fitzhugh Lee
has been constantly engaged during his
entire stay in Cuba in efforts to get al
legged citizens of this country out OF
prison for participating in the troubles
between Spain and her insurgent sub
iects in that island. If these people be
Americans and don't like the way Spain
conducts her affairs in Cuba, they
should come home and remain in their
own country. It's certainly as little as
they can do, to behave themselves ii
thew choose to abide under foreign
government; and if they don't, why,
thew and their friends should not try
to involve their country in war in
their behalf. Judging from their names,
however, few of them are Americans,
an if they be really Cubans, they show
little regard for this country, of which
they pretend to be citizens, by attempt
ing to provoke war between it and a
foreign nation. IfSpaniards or Cubans
had come to this country during the
war here, and attempted TO take any
part on either side, and were captured
does any sane man suppose that they
would have ever thought of asking the
Spanish consuls to extricate them, or il
they had, that either the United States
or the Confederate government WOULD
have interfered in their behalf? People
who don't like the way other countries
than their own are governed, should be
content to stay at home.

United States Senator Daniel has
written letter to friend in Lynch
burg explaining his reasons for oppos-

principal objections to the treaty is
that it, provides that judges of the

the judges to serve in this capacity
when cases that they should have to
arbitrate may come before them for re.
view on the bench.
An interesting meeting of The pastors

Tuesday evening for the purpose of dis.
cussing the question OF local option. A
resolution was adopted looking to the
organization of a good government

to promote the enforcement OF laws

ultimately be established throughout

ways oppose the sale of whisky.

MIR. BRYAN IN WASHINGTON. Hon.
William Jennings Bryan, accompanied
by Mrs. Bryan and his little daughter,
Grace, arrived in Washington from the
west, over the Baltimore and OHIO Rail
road at $50 O'Clock yesterday after.
noon. A goodly number Of local demo
Gratis, who had been advised of Mr.
Bryan's coming, were present to give
their champion loyal greeting. Mr..
Bryan, together with Messrs. Bride,
Norris and McMillin, entered an open
carriage. Mrs. Bryan, with her little
daughter and Mrs. Bride, followed in
an equippsge close behind. The party
was driven rapidly to Mr.. Brides resi-
dence, No. 1919 B street, southeast,
where Mr.. Bryan and his friends par
took OF sumptuous lunch. Afterward
Mr.. Bryan walked leisurely to the CAP
itol
Upon his arrival there he was met by
several of his former associates, who
conducted him to the cloakroom. As
soon as it became known that Mr..
Bryan was in the Capitol the passages
were blocked with people who were
anxious to grasp his hand. He was
soon surrounded and given a cordial
greeting by all. After the impromptu
reception, held in the cloakroom, Mr..
Bryan was escorted into the House by
Mr.. McMillin. His appearance was
the signal for prolonged applause on
the democratic side of the floor, in
which the galleries joined. Mr. Bryan
walked to his old seat and was imme-
diately surrounded by throng of adj
mirers who eagerly grasped his hands.
Mr.. Bryan later paid his respects to
Speaker Reed, who greeted him cor
daily.
Last night Mr.. Bryan was rendered
a banquet at Mr.. j. r. McLean's resi-
dence, where distinguished members Of
both parties gathered. The occasion
was free from politics. Among the
guests at the dinner were Senator Dan.
lei and Representatives Otey and Swan
son.
Owing to the fact that Mr.. Bryan has
made an engagement to speak in New
York city on Friday and Saturday of
this week, his stay in Washington will
be necessarily limited. He is expected
to return next Monday, however, and
may possibly remain to witness the in
augural ceremonies incident to the in
duction into office of President McKin.
ley.

THERE IS no doubt that the constitu-

it can only be amended by State con-
vention, everybody interested in the
welfare of the State should vote for a
convention when the question shall be

the proposition to hold convention be
defeated, the condition will be no worse
than it is now, and if the convention be
held, some at least of the required
amendments may be adopted.

THE BEST possible way by which ar

studying the works of the masters OF
their respective arts, and even the

found in foreign art galleries endeavor-
