HAD MARROW ESCAPE.
Unknown Man Caught on Missouri
Pacific Bridge

Atchison Globe: AS the Missouri Pa
cific train, which left Atchison at 500
D. m. Saturday, was near Daily, En-
gfneer J. B. Nelson saw a man step
on the track a hundred feet in front of
the train and start to run across a
bridge. Nelson at once applied the air,
and made every effort possible to stop,
but fully expected to see the man
knocked down and run over Just ahead
of the engine the man stepped between
the ties and fell, and as he did so, by
superhuman effort, he threw his body
from between the rails to a position
outside. AS he was lying at fun length
along the ends of the ties of the bridge,
the train passed by without touching
him. He was apparently IS years OF
age, and when asked where he lived
replied: Arkansas, when he was at
home - He said his name did not mat
ter. After the train passed, he got up,
took a big chew of long green, and
wanted the railroad men to get his hat,
which had fallen into the creek and
dOated out into the river.

RESPECTS PRECEDENTS.
Governor Leedy Will Not Have Any
body Hanged.

Governor John w. Leedy is in favor
of hanging for murder in the first de-
gree. But he is not willing to break
over the precedent in Kansas. When
asked squarely if he would hang John
H. Collins, in case of conviction of
murder in the first degree, Governor
Leedy said:
Il believe in hanging. When the
court orders a man hanged, I believe
the sentence ought to be enforced, but
while the law reads as it does now, I
will not order any one hanged. Here
is the trouble: The law ought to be
that when a judge orders a man to be
hanged, he should fix a date and tell
the prisoner, You viii be hanged on
that date. unless the governor inter-
feres by pardon or communication AS
the law reads now. the prisoner is told
that he will be hanged when the gov
ernor orders it My predecessors have
avoided giving such orders, and to
hang a man now would seem to be
picking one man and giving him a pen
atty more severe than any one else. 1t
wouldn't be exactly fair play unless I
banged so men now in the penitentiary
under death sentence. 1 am not blood
thirsty enough to do that. 1t would be

LEFT THE FIELD.
Coming Champions Have a Quarrel at
AtchiSOn.

ACCn1SOus
The third of the series of games be-
tween Atchison and Topekas base ball
teams ended in a row yesterday after
noon and Manager Fear took the COM
ing champions from the field.
The causes which were at the first re-
sponsible for the trouble are due di-
rectly to the decisions of Umpire Beau
champ, manager of the Atchison team.
He was charged with making several
rank decisions in games previous to the
one started yesterday, and the Topeka
players were very indignant towards
him.
There was to be a change In pitchers
on the part of the Atchison team at the
beginning of the fourth inning and yell
low Jones who was going in commenced
warming up directly in front of the
grand stand, interfering to some extent
with the progress of the game. Man.
ager Fear objected but his complaints
were laughed at and a quarrel followed.
He then took his men from the field
and came to Topeka, continuing the
trip to Salina where games will be
played today and tomorrow. The team
returns to Topeka Saturday for a game
with Atchison.
The score when Topeka left the field
was to in favor of Topeka.

CANDIDATES NAMED.
Convention Demands Use of
Aluminium For Money
And dominates Full State
Ticket.
CANDIDATES NAMED.

Fort Scott, Kan, June 29.-The first
state convention of Socialists of Kansas
met here yesterday afternoon, nomina-
ted full state ticket and planned a
vigorous campaign. Less than so dele
gates were present, but all parts Of the
state were represented. A. A. Carna-
han of Concordia was elected chairman
and ]. F. Elkner of Crawford county
secretary.
The ticket nominated is as follows:
For governor-Caleb Lipscomb Of Fit.
Scott
For lieutenant governor-N. B. Ar
mold of Topeka.
For associate juStice-A. A. Carnahan
of Concordia.
For attorney general-W. L. Rose Of
Wichita.
For secretary of stated. o. Doneel
For auditor-E. A Cain of Cherokee
For treasurer-W. H. Wright of Clay
county.
For state Observation-Disclosures. Eta
Semple of Ottawa.
For congressman t-large-J. +. MIL
Ter of De Soto.
Mrs. Semple has been a prominent
POpuliSt politician and she refused to
accept the nomination until the conven-
ton adopted a resolution which the
committee rejected. 1t declares against
the practice of repeating the Lords
Prayer in public schools. She is presi-
dent of the Free Thinkers association,
an organization of atheists.
The platform demands q speedy term
ination of the war, that the wages Of
soldiers be increased and the salaries of
army officers decreased; that the gov
eminent issue paper money until legal
tender can be abolished, and that eX-
listing fractional coins be supplemented
by aluminium.
Mrs. Semp1e is the wife of brother
of Bob Semple and has been an aSpir-
ant for political distinction for some
years. In 1894 she was the nominee Of
the middle-of-the-road POpulistS for
superintendent of public instruction
against the Lewelling administration,
and she came here for the purpose of
making a fight on superintendent
Stryker. The most radical demands of
the platform are as follows:
Resolved, That all lands should be
the property OF the whole people to be
held in common and that occupancy
for the use of all people and not as now
for personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
I'm view of the fact that the question
of money is now agitating the public
mind, we wish to go on record as OPP
posed to the further use Of both gold
and silver, and until legal tender mon
ey can be abolished we favor paper
money, the same to be issued by the ma
tionaI government only and the exist
ing fractional coins be supplemented by
aluminium.
I'VE demand that the pay of private
soldiers in the regular and volunteer
service of the United States be immedi
ately increased and that the pay of Of
ficers be decreased to such an extent
as to be commensurate with the ser
vices performed by EACH

former passed to starboard. It was the custom if the tide was at ebb for a vessel going against the tide to hug the shore of the island and the other vessel to keep out in the fairway.
 At this point Inspector Bulger asked if custom took predominance oyer the Unit ed States law, but Holdsworth was unable to answer the question and evaded 1t by saying that the rules and regulations were followed as much as possible. In re- ply to a question by Attorney Frank, Holdsworth conceived the right of a steamer going up the bay against the ebb tide to take the port side on meeting an other vessel, although the rule is when two vessels meet head on they shall pass port to port. Hoidsworth claimed had they followed the rule the Peters would have been cut in two. He further testified that as the Czartna was sighted the Peters blew two whistles, which were answered by one from the Czarina after lapse of five or six seconds. This was repeated and then the crash came.
 Witnesses were called to substantiate the latter statement and the first one Vincent Lasuvilla, testified to the same effect. William Bulson, passenger, and Dan Kennedy, bow watchman of the Peters, blowing of the two whistles by that vessel and the response of one by the Czarina
 A. NJ. Hay, wheelman of the Peters thought that If either vessel had stopped and backed and blew four whistles the collision would not have occurred.
 The investigation will be resumed this morning in the rooms of the Inspectors of Hulls and Boilers in the Appraisers build- ing at clock
