SEVEN KILLED AND
 TWENTY-FIVE INJURED.
The Result of a Rearend Collision on Railroad In Massachusetts
 at Sharon Station.

Sharon, Mass, Aug. 23.-A frightful rearend collision occurred in the Sharon station of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad at 7:30 Sun day night when m express train, which was running as the second section of q long train, crashed into the first section, composed of local cars
 As 8 result seven were Filled and % seriously injured The injured were nearly all removed to Boston en spe- cial train which was met by ambu- lanees and surgeons.
 The rear car of the local train was completely demolished with g portion of the second car, while the engine of the express train was crippled.
 Every one of the killed and injured was on the Mansfield train and the only theory that the number of fatalities is not larger is that the passengers in the first section were all in the forward end of the ear, in the act of alighting at the station
 Sharon is situated on curve and both the outward and inward tracks are pro- tected by electric block signals, but somehow they didn't give the proper warning.
 After the accident 1t was thought the block signal protecting the inward track was set at danger, showing, as 1t was intended, that there was a train in the station

'THE GOVERNORS
Nj 1h ' IN JOINT DEBATE AT THE COURT
 HOUSE.
A Large Audience Listens to oubernator,,l Candidates Discuss Political
 Issues

Gov Dan W. Jones and II. F.
 Aoten' democratic ana republican
 nominees respectively for govern
 or. pursuant to appointment, ad-
 ufeSsed large audience in front of
 the courthouse Monday night.
 Hon ". T. Young acted as chair
 man of the meeting and introduced
 the speakers.
 Under the agreement, Hon. H F
 Anten waa the il st speaker He ad-
 dressed the audience for an hour in n clear, lucid manner, holding the clos est attention of his hearers through out, Ills plea was for "A New Ar kansas. Hedwelt at length upon the industrial needs of the State. charging that the Democratic party
 by it's repudiation and other meas ures had retarded the growth and progress of the State. He said that he was more Of an Arkansan than a partisan, and fl he did not believe that the Republican party could de veiop the State more than had been done by the Democratic party, that he would quit the race and advise the people to vote for Governor Jones. He also challenged the fair ntss of the Arkansas election laws and excoriated the present system severely. He said people would not come tu the State to make it their home if they could not have their votes counted and counted as voted.
 He also touched upon the subject of protection, declaring it to be a sloeal issue and severely excoriated Senator Jones for sacrificing the lumber interests of the State when the Senator had charge Of the Wilson tariff bill.
 Mr. Auten is speaker of splendid abilities and produced q pleasing im- pression His language was clear, his methods fair and his sentiments and when he concluded he recefyed hearty round of applause.
 Gov, Jones was then introduced and he started outbycomplimenting Mir. Auten as a every nice gentle man. But we can only judge of the party, he said, by itseon- duet in the past, declaring that it Ig under the same old leadership. The Governor then took up the Re publican administration in this State rom 1868 to 1872. When the Bepub- icaus went out O, power, he said, there was q balance in the treasury of only sixty-seyen cents. This, the Governor thought, should have been put in bottle and dramatically sealed and labelled t.'monument to the Republican administration of Ar kansas,
 The Governor then contrasted the present election law with the election Ia " in force during Clry tons regime, when d large number of people were disfranehised, reciting an executive act of Clayton's disfranchisihg eleven counties.
 The Governor made no reference, whatever, to local politics and when he concluded was given a hearty round of applause
 Mir. Auten had twenty minutes for a rejoinder, which was devoted to a very touching description of Pickett's charge at the battle of Gettysburg, and to the blessing the wife Of the general gave to her son when the latter left to join the army to fight Spain, at which time she gave him her blessing and dedicated him to the service of the flag his father had fought.

HUNTINGTON 70 THE FRONT GEN SCHOF|ELD'S VIEWS II
WILL JOIN IN THE FIGHT FOR
ANNEXATION.
Ready to Render President Dole all
the Assistance in His Power-Plan-
ming for Strong Lobby.

On the receipt in San Francisco of
the news that President Dole was on
his way to Washington, General Man
ager Schwerin and Third Vice Presi-
dent Stubbs of the Pacific Mail Com
pany, made hasty preparations and
departed for New York, for consul
tation with President Huntington. In
their hasty departure the San Francis
co Bulletin sees much that is signifi-
cant. 1t says, in its issue of the 18th
inst:
"The friends of annexation are SAN
guine in the belief that before long
the Southern Pacific Company will
come out strongly in support of the
measure and that the very strongest
lobbyists of the corporation will en-
ter the list to help carry the measure
to victory.
up to the present time Mr.. Hunt
ington has not publicly exhibited un-
due interest in the Hawaiian cause,
but now he has become anxious to
receive the personal report of the OBJ
servations of Mr.. Schwerin, who re-
Gently spent some time in Hawaii. The
general manager of the Pacific Mail,
as is known, several months ago had
occasion to visit the japanese agen-
cies of the steamship company On
the return voyage to this country he
tarried in the Hawaiian Islands and
thoroughly posted himself as to the
existing conditions, particularly with
reference to the annexation problem. -
"The telegraph today brings the in
formation that President Mckinley
had already been appraised of the
proposed visit of President Dole. Vice
President Stubbs and Manager Schwe-
rim left San Francisco en- route for
New York last week. They have had
ample time to consult with President
Huntington and lay their plans for
rendering all the assistance in their
power to President Dole. Indeed there
is no one to deny that already through
the efforts of the trio of Southern Pa
cific officials the way has already
been paved"

NOW IS THE TINE.
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat Talks
Wisely on Annexation.

Opponents of annexation may inter
pose the plea that the quasi United
States protectorate which has existed
for half a century would save Hawaii
from foreign encroachment. Such "a
notion as this, however, would excite
the derision of practical statesman
like the present German emperor. The
defeat of the annexation project, if
il should be defeated, would mean to
him that the United States did not
care enough for Hawaii to fight for It.
The resources of European chicanery
could readily compass IA little task like
this, and the kaiser is a very YER
satile man. II would be immeasure-
ably cheaper, safer and wiser for us to
acquire Hawaii now by annexation
that it would be to have to drive Ger
many or some other nation out of it
in the future. This consideration will
win many votes for immediate annex
alton.
