PREPARING TO PROSECUTE.
District Attorney of South Carolina
in Washington.

District Attorney of South Carolina
i'm Washington.
District Attorney Cochran, of South
Carolina arrived in Washington yester-
day and spent almost the entire day in
consultation with Assistant Attorney
General Boyd, who has charge of the
matter of the race riots in the Carolinas
Mr.. Cochran said he would remain here
today, as he has not finished his business
with the Department of Justice. Under
the direction of the Attorney General he
made an investigation of the rioting at
Phoenix, and the circumstances under
which the Tolbert family and their
friends were driven from home The stu
ton there is still serious, but he could
not say what steps would be taken.
He declined to discuss the matter,
owing to his official connection with it.
Everything was quiet there at present,
although he feared that trouble would
break out again should the Tolberts re-
turn, the citizens having passed resou-
tions to that effect. Mr.. Cochran went
over the United States statutes with At
torney General Boyd and gave him what
information he and his assistant had
obtained.
1t is understood that ]. W. Tolbert, as
sistant postmaster at Mccormick s. c.,
will undertake to obtain employment in
Washington and remain here indefinitely,
disposing of his property in South Caro-
lima at a favorable opportunity His wife,
who still manages the postoffice Mt Nc
Cormick, has written him that the trou-
BILE is by no means at an end. and his
temperance would be the signal for a
fresh outbreak. She does not anticipate
any harm to herself, nor to her 'amily,
although her position in the community
is very uncomfortable.

Teeth.

Jesse +. Gates, who served as private
in Battery A, Second United States Ar
tillery. during the war with Spain, was
granted pension of sl7 per month yester
day for shell wound of the mouth result
ing in deformity and loss of teeth.
This is the first pension that has been
granted TO participant in the late war,
and is also noteworthy from the fact that
1t was gotten through the speediest of any
pension under the present Commissioner.
Private Gates was wounded in the battle
of July in Cuba, a bullet from ma-
chine gun tearing away most OF the unfor-
tunate soldiers upper lip, fracturing his
superior maxillary. and knocking out his
teeth His case Immediately elected the
sympathy of the President as well as the
Pension Office officials, and his applica-
ton was Immediately put in charge OF
special examiner and the fun amount al
lowed under the law was granted him as
a pension.
Considering the nature of his wound,
the sum of Sl7 a month is considered en-
tirely inadequate, and without doubt a
proposition win come before Congress at
the next session looking to increasing this
amount

New York, Nov. 1S.-John Brisben
Walker is going to start an anti-Croker
Democracy on Monday in rooms l0-12,
Madison Square Building, Broadway and
Twenty-fifth Street. William Sage will be
acting secretary of the committee

$50 p. m. daily. In the evenings Mr..
Walker will be there. He says, In an ad-
dress TO the Democrats of New York;
1T is now evident that the control of
the machinery of the Democratic party
in both the city and State of New York
has passed completely into the hands of
a man whose views are at variance with
every known principle of Democracy, who
is the embodiment of everything hateful
to Democrats. Notwithstanding the pro-
test by the votes of dissatisfied Demo-
Gratis at the late election, there is no sign
of weakening in the power of Richard
Croker
1.-The only way out from both Crokerism
and Plattism seems to be by combination
of those who believe in the Republic and
who are willing TO sacrifice something to
advance those ideals of government which
have been handed down to US by both
jefferson and Lincoln.
II have hesitated long before being will
ing to enter personally upon the arduous
struggle which a conflict with Croker in
wolves. but there must be a beginning.
Some one must initiate opposition to
usurpation, and as a member of your
State central committee, who felt called
upon to resign rather than seem to give
assent TO the capture OF the party by
Richard Croker, j make this appeal to
the intelligence and honest intentions of
the great mass of the voters of this
State -
IF you are in sympathy with the effort
TO uproot, once and forever. this evil of
Crokerism and Plattism. which are but
other names for anarchy of the most dam
gerous type, you should forward your ad-
dress, not necessarily as a pledge, but as
an evidence of your position. 1t will be
held in confidence until steps can be TAX
en- to form an organization. Then you
will be communicated with, and, If you
give your further permission, you will be
enrolled as a member of the New Democ-

arms bruised, but able TO go home.
The accident occurred about O'Clock.
The men were in charge of Section Fore
man hiihdIH SuiIh, anu were HdhiHS
repairs on track No. 4. There were
twenty men in the gang. Foreman Quirk
had sent Thomas Dougherty up the track
to give warning of approaching trains
but Dougherty was killed before he could
give any warning.
The men had stepped from the freight
track which they were repairing to per-
init an outgoing freight train to pass.
They stood on the eastbound track. The
whistle of the freight locomotive and the
noise of escaping steam drowned the noise
of the approaching Milestone express and
the men did not hear II.
The locomotive dashed into the men,
moving them down. Engineer John Van
Nostrand stopped the train as quickly as
possible and backed up. The bodies of
the victims were lying on both sides of
the track, and many of the passengers
were nearly overcome by the sight.
Information of the accident was tele-
phoned to the Jersey City depot and a
relief train was sent out Immediately.
In the meantime, ambulances and sur
geons had been summoned from the hos
pftals and patrol wagons from the police
stations and were at the depot when the
emergency train arrived. The wounded
were taken to St. Francis's Hospital and
the dead to Spears morgue.
AT p. m. all but one body had been
identified and claimed by relatives.
Engineer Van Nostrand was in a state
of nervous prostration for several hours
after the accident
THE fog was very heavy on the mea-
dows this morning. he said, ..and the
smoke from the westbound freight train
added to the darkness. l did not know
what had struck until heard the cries
OF the wounded and dying"
Van Nostrand has the reputation of
being one of the most careful engineers
on the road. Supervisor Holsman, of the
Pennsylvania Road. made a hurried in
vestigation and then said:
1T seems to me that no one in particu-
lar is to blame. The fog itself was a
great element of danger. but the smoke
from train which passed just before the
Millstone train came on added to the
danger"
