4 TRAM WRECKED.
Terrible Accident on q Rsilroad IN Viz
Einis.

An express train on the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad from Cincinnati 20
Washington, was wrecked near Char.
louisville, Va, Thursday afternoon,
and four persons killed and seventeen
were wounded. The cause of the &C,
cident has not been definitely ascer-
!ained, but it is believed to have been
due to spreading rsils. The engine left
the track on s. sharp curve aro was
hurled against a rocky hill. All OF the
cars except the dining car and the
Richmond sleeper were Geralted. Two
cars were plunged end foremoss down
the steep embankment and one OF
them went into the Rivanna river,
which 81 this place skirts the tracks.
The cay passenger coach ano the eX-
press car were badly wrecked. As the
locomotive plunged from the rails and
overturned, Engineer Duke was hUrI-
ed from the cab and crushed under the
engine, besides being terribly scaloed
by escaping steam. he was rescued
by his fireman and the conductor.
Soor after the wreck IS possible, the
uriDjored passengers and tralnnen
bessn the work of rescue and aiding
the injured. Word was sent to Char
lottevllle and the wrecking train with
physicians was Immediately dispatch,
ed to the scene OF the wreck. The
body of Henry Burnett, the colored
porter, was the last recovered. He
was terribly. mangled, having been
in the baggage car 4 foot supposed
to have been his was first recovered,
and later portion Of the head. The
body was literally disu1embered. Phe-
lex Mareno had both legs cut off and
died at the hospital at Charlottesville.
Among the unipj1rad passengers on
the train were Senstor Orviile Il.

of Pensions q. Clav Evans and Rep
sentative Walter E. Evans OF Louis
vile. The local railway officials, at
ter investigating the cause OF the accl-
dent, declared that it was not due TO
spreading rails, though they are una
bic to even give theory. They state
that the tracks at the spot are true and
examination revealed that they are
tied securely. It is now developed that
the accident was caused by the break
isg of an axle of the first truck OF the
locomotive. The train was making up
time, and the engine left the rails on
sharp curve, and, rushing into E
rocky hill side with terrific force, was
completely dismantled. Two cars
went down into the river. The sleeper
''Salota" went over on its side bu. the
dining car and the Richmond sleeper
remained on the track.

TO REDUCE THE COTTON ACREAGE
IsThis Union Spreads 1t VIII Weld AL
most Despotic Power.

IsTnis Uaion Spreads 1t VIII Weld AL
most Despotic Power.
A special dispatch to the Atlanta
Evening Journal from Jackson, Ga !,
says:
The farmers of this sec ion have been
preparing to organize a union, or alli-
ance, for the purpose OF reducing the
acreage of cotton.
It is more aggressive than the Cot
ton Planters Protective association,
and has some strong and very binding
provisions IN it.
The following are some Of the pro,
visions of the plan:
1. Every land owner or farm labor
eris eligible.
2. No member will BE- allowed to
plant more than one acre to every
three in cultivation.
3. The whole union will be COM
posed of the cotton-grow.ng states.
Each state will have union, and
each cnouty and each district union.
1. It Will be an cath. bound organi-
zation, but not necessarily a secret So
ciety. The penalties for violating any
OF the rules are very severe and will
cause the averaee to be reduced 10
fact. For instance, each district will
have surveyor who will measure al
the crops after planting is done, and
man who has planted more than al
lowed By the society will forfeit two
bales to the acre for every excessive
acre he mas planted, to go into the
treasury of the association. No mem
Der will employ laborer, except tor
wages, who is not member, and no
mem Der will work mans land whose
owner is lot e mem Der. They will
not patronjzea merchant or railroad
that deals with men who are not mem
bers. They mean 10 reduce the cot
ton crop or die in the attempt. The
president Of the county union will De
authoriz ed to employ the county sur
veyor TO investigate every suspicious
case. After he has compared lne dl-
gest stock returns with the average OF
the returns Of the unions surveyor,
the unions surveyor would forfeit all
his compensation for any mistake he
had made.
Tneincressed screage in grain crops
would prevent millions OF dollars
from leaving the cotton states. The
system would improve the lands 100
per cent II ten years. The improve
ment in cattle and stock would be
immense. The increase OF home
made manure would save more
than the farmers clear on their crops
now. There are hundreds OF olner
advantages too numerous 10 mention.
There should be 8 convention called
at once and the plan OF organization
discussed,

It IS impossible to discuss yesterdays

would seem that Republican politics
are not being endorsed at the polls.
Tle sentimentin in favor of the Chicago
platform shows a healthy growth
throughout the country, perhaps our
opponents will now admit that silver
is not dead. The attempt to secure
international bimep.4llism has proved
a failure, and ii is g ow more apparent
Iran ever that the people Of the Unit
ed States must legislate for themselves
on the financial question.
Fr:e and unlimited coinage at 16 to

has disappointed those Republicans
who looked to it Tor relief. Taken as
whole the returns are very encour-

Of Democrats, Pooulists and Silver Rs-
pubIicans when say the fight will be
Continued with even more earnestness

an and his platform were endorsed and ne WAS

We'll, Nebraska last November gave
IS 900 majority for free silver, and
now gives about 10000 for il. Ohio
gave 1900 plurality for Mckinley
