THURSDAY EVENING. SEPT. 9. 1897
CoLLECToR BRADY says:


"For the republicans to go into the
Virginia campaign this year would be
like playing the game OF politics WITH
loaded dice on the other side. The
cards are all stacked against US. There
is not an intelligent man In politics
who does not know that the elections
in Virginia are carried by frauds OF tne
most outrageous character. ! DO not
assert this as republican familiar Win
the politics of the State, but l refer to
the interview with Gov. O'Ferrall, who
practically admits that the democratic
party is a snigger party because he
shows that the democrats get tneir
largest maiorities in the counties where
the negroes have preponderanoe OF
votes"
What Governor O'Ferrall says or
doesn't say is of little or no consequence
anywhere, now, certainly not in his
own State, 80 he can be left out; but II
elections in Virginia be fraudulent, why
does Colonel Brady advise his party to
run legislative tickets in all the coun'
ties of the State? The Collector evil
IDENTIFY doesn't reason we'll; and then,
too, according to Referee Bowden, the
the republican tickets in the "a, 80,
and 4th districts was defeated last
year, not by the democrats, but by Col
onel Brady's faction of his own party.

GEN. LoNGsTREET MARRIED.

General James Longstreet, major
general in the Confederate army, ex.
United States minister to Turkey, and
prospective commissioner of railroads
to succeed General Wade Hampton,
was married at the Executive Mansion,
in Atlanta, Ca, at $3.50 o'clock yester-
day evening, to Miss Ellen 1ortch,
assistant librarian of the State of Geor-
gia. Governor and Mrs. Atkinson had
issued number of invitations to State
officials and intimate friends of the
bride and groom. The Rev. Schade-
we'll, of the Church of the Immaculate
Conception, oficiated. Judge ]. B.
CASTOR, mayor of Gainesville, General
Longstreet's home, was best man, and
the bride entered on the arm of Cover
nor Atkinson, who gave her away, in
the absence of her brother, who is in
Texas. General and Mrs. Long
street will spend two weeks at
Porter Springs, Ca, after which they
will return to Atlanta, where Mrs.
Longstreet will resume her duties at
the State Library. 1t is understood she
will not retire from the race for the
Guardianship, which she entered several
months ago.
A striking coincidence was supplied
in the fact that yesterday was the sunl.
versary of the Battle of Molina del Ray,
in the Mexican war, where General
Longstreet won his title as major.
Yesterday afternoon the General
talked about his marriage with frank
ness. He said that he did not feel
bit too old to marry. The General has
been living alone for so long that all
his business and domestic affairs have
become disarraugeg.
All his children have left him. Two
have places in the departments at
Washington, one is an architect in At
lanta, one lives in st. Louis, and his
only daughter resides in Hogansville,
Ga, where her husband is merchant.
Besides his plantation, Gen. Longstreet
owns hotel, q vineyard, peach or
chard, and sheep farm in Gainesville.
He also receives 8 considerable revenue
from the sale of his books. President
Mckinley has promised to appoint him
Railroad Commissioner to succeed
Wade Hampton. Miss Dortch is a
business woman, and in spite of her
few years she has been q successful
proprietor and editor while
exercising the duties Of Assistant State
Librarian. The marriage will be per-
formed by Catholic priest, the Gen.
eral belonging to that faith and Miss
Dortch being recent convert.

sARAToGA's FLORA FETE.

Saratoga had perfect weather for her
fourth annual floral festival on Tues.
day, and there were more than fifty
thousand visitors who enjoyed the
brilliant spectacle.
The procession moved at 8 O'Clock in
the evening, headed by the mounted
police on bicycles. They were follow
ed by the bicycle division, which was
really the great feature of the parade.
The ladies in their white uniforms pre-.
sented An unusually attractive appear
ance, and the Saratoga Citizens Corps,
with muskets strapped across their
shoulders, indicated what part the BIZ
cycle is like to play in future wars.
The grand marshal and staff on
horseback made q fine display, and the
twenty seven beautifully decorated
carriages were much admired. Per-
haps the most striking features in this
part of the procession were the victoria
of Mrs. Edgar T, Bracket, decorated
entirely with crimson roses; the VIC
toria of Mrs. w. B. Huestis, covered
with pink and white china asters;
the English mail cart of Mr.. W.
E. Woolley, driven by himself, both
cart and horses being covered with
flowers, and the wagonette of Mrs.
William ,, Gage deliberately trimmed
with nydrangeas and gladiolss.
The floats were superb pieces of floral
architecture and decorations. The
most noteworthy floats we're one called

CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-An easier feeling
was apparent in wheat at the opening,
December starting q shade lower at

ACCORDING to Col. Brady, collector
for the lower internal revenue district
of Virginia, there would have been no
republican ticket in this State last year,

says was cent here with which to de-
bauch impecunious democrats. been
spent elsewhere, had it not been that
"Messrs. E. G. Venable, Alexander
Hamilton, Gen. Logan and Other prom
inent democrats, including those inter"
ested in railroad, express and insurance
companies, bankers and merchants,
were working openly to defeat tbs DEM
ooratic ticket" When the legitimate
effects of debauched suffrage shall man
afest themselves in their full fruition,
the men referred to will be the first to
cry out against free ballot.

WHEN THE subscribers of some OF the
daily newspapers of this country read
of the "return of prosperity" they feel
either like anathemstising their own
bad luck or of denouncing the
unreliability of those papers, for
they know that their own condi
ton has not been improved, and all
their disinterested friends and &C.
quaintauces tell them that their pock-
as also are ss bare of money as ever.
The few who have wheat to sell, to be
sure, get more for it now than they did
last year, owing to the short crops
abroad, and the profits of the few own,
ers of stocks and bonds have been in
creased; but the vast majority of the
people have neither wheat nor bonds
and stocks to sell. They do, however,
have to buy the neoessaries of life, the
price of all of which has been increased.

American Commercial Congress, held

from Argentina. They prophesied
that their trip, large part Of the cost
of which was paid by this governments

by which the wool and hides of their
country are heavily taxed, should be
passed. They were true prophets, for

of that country, recommends the impo-

MIR. BRYAN IN A RAILROAD
COLLISION.

One of the worst wrecks In the his.
tory OF the Santa Fe Railroad occurred
three miles east of Emporia, Kans.,
about 1880 o'clock last night, Probab.
| ly twelve or fifteen persons were killed
and as many more were badly hurt
The fast mail train going east and the
Mexico and California express going
west collided head.on. The Mexico
and California express was pulled by
two locomotives, and when they struck
the engine drawing the fast mail, the
boilers of all three engines exploded
and tore hole in the ground 30 deep
that the smoking car of the west bound
train ran in on top Of the three engines
and two mail cars and balanced there
without turning over.
It is stated that the wreck was
caused by q miscarriage OF orders from
the trainmaster. The passengers in the
smokiag.oa escaped through the win
| dows. The front end of this car was
enveloped in volume of sitting smoke
and steam, belching up from the wreck
below, and the rear door was damned
tight in the wreck of the car behind.
The wreck caught fire from the en-.
gines. The oars In the hole and the
smoker burned to ashes In short time.
In climbing out of the smoking car sew.
eral men fell through the riffs in the
wreck below, and it is impossible to tell
whether they escaped or we're burned
to death.
The west. bound train carried seven
or eight coaches, and its passengers
included many excursionists, who had
been to hear Hon. W. J. Bryan speak
at the county fair at Burlin.
game. Mr.. Bryan himself was on
the train, but was riding in the
rear Pullman, some 400 feet from the
cars which were wrecked. He states
that nothing but heavy jolt was ex
perienced by the passengers in his
coach.
MIR. Bryan was one of the noblest
men In the crowd of rescuers He
helped to carry out the dead and
wounded and gave the greatest atten.
ton to their care. One poor fellow,
who wss badly manned, called to Mr..
Bryan and said
ST went to hear you to-day l am
dying now, and want to shake your
hand and say God bless you. If you
possibly can, Mr. Bryan, get me drink
of water.p
Mr.. Bryan went into the fast mail
car, one end of which was burning, and
came out with the drink of water,
which he gave to the suffering passen.
ger. he brought out cushions for 9th.
ers of the injured, and waa everywhere
present to minister to the wants of the
suffering.
OF the seven or eight cars making up
the Mexico and California express,
only the mail. baggage and express and
smoking cars were destroyed. The
coach following the smoker was badly
splintered.
There we're not more than dozen
passengers on the fast mail, all in one
coach, and while none of them was
seriously injured, the shaking up was
terrible. Every ssat In the coach was
torn from the floor, and many floor |
planks came up with the seats.
One man, John Sweeny, was thrown
over three seats and through q window
but escaped with only scratches and
bruises, The other cars of the fast
mail train, baggage and express, were |
totally wrecked,
