THE SILVER REPUBLICANS.
From PHILADELPHIA Record.

1t was high time for the Silver Repub-
licans to disband their organization. In
1896 the Silver States of the Rocky
Mountaina-Col Montana, Utah,
Idaho and Nevada-gave Bryan total
plurality OF PAL 1865 votes. In 1900 Utah
has gone over to the Republicans, and
the remaining States have given Bryan q
total plurality of a little over $4,000
votes.
1t was for this handful OF impote Mt
Silyerite suffrages that the Democrat
were twice induced to abandon the prin.
ciples of Jefferson, Jackson, Benton and
Tilden to follow the jack-o'- lantern of IL

THE TRAINS LEAP
 INTO THE WARRIOR
Train Dispatcher Martins Graph icACcount of the Accident.
AIR BRAKES FAILED TO ACT
Only Slight Personal Injuries, But the Damage Caused by the Wreck is Estimated at Twenty-Five
 Thousand Dollars

Train Dispatcher Robert B. Martin of the Alabama Great Southern was on the freight train that refused to stop at the open draw bridge over the Warrior river, three or four miles from Eutaw, Wednes- day morning, and when seen by a reporter for The Age-Herald yesterday gave the following detailed account:
 q was sitting in the cupola of the ca boose, and saw that the draw was open, but there was nothing wrong or unusual in that fact. Engineer Adams took in the sit- uation, of course, and proceeded to apply the air brakes. The air, however, refused to respond effectually. He then endeav ored to sand the track. But the track was wet, and so was the sand, and all r. though the engine was reversed the wheels slid, and the engine and all the cars-eight freights and the caboose-went into the river. It was jump of forty feet to the surface of the water, and thirty feet more to the bottom of the river
 "The train was almost at a standstill when it went over The engineer kept to his post until the front trucks left the track and started downward into the riv- CT He had just moment then. He jump ed, aiming to strike the pier, but missing the pier, he jumped into the river.
 "The negro fireman had jumped before that. Had he waited few seconds he would have landed safely the platform to the watchman's house. As it was, he shot over the trestle, nearly forty feet high and struck the ground.
 q did not leave my seat in the cupola un- til the engine had started into the river. I then the alarm Conductor Cram ford and his fagman, who were sitting in the caboose, and hurried myself to the rear I got off just in time, dropping on the erossties of the tressle. The conductor and lagman jumped to the tressle from the front of the caboose
 q started down to the river for the pur- pose of rescuing Adams, thinking he might be hurt and unable to swim to shore. But he was able to help himself and got out of the water without much difficulty.
 Adams did not seem to be injured at the time, but after it was all over he found that one of his ribs was ailing. The fire man sustained an injury to one of his feet, but all of us congratulated ourselves that the personal injuries were no greater than those mentioned. The experience was ex- citing, but 1t was soon over"
 Seven of the cars were loaded with lum- Der and one was loaded with merchandise When the train struck the river it made as may we'll be imagined, great splashing and noise Much of the lumber will proba- bly, be recovered, but the money loss in- volved in the accident is estimated at $25,- OOo
 An investigation into the faulty cond- tion of the air brakes, for the purpose of fixing the blame, is now being made.

A REPUBLICAN,
 STATE TICKET
Will Probably be Nominated by the Vaughan Faction - Committee to Meet
 Here Next Week.

The Republican State Executive Commit tee will meet in this city on the 18th in- stant for the purpose of considering the advisability of putting out a State ticket and also to consider any other questions that may be presented at that time. Chairman Vaughan of the State Commit tee yesterday wired instructions from Philadelphia where he is at present in at tendance on the National Republican Con- vention for the committee to be called together. In accordance with thase a. structions the following call was issued yesterday afternoon:
 Birmingham, Ala, June ot, 19Ga. "A meeting of the State Republican Com mittee is hereby called to be held in the city of Birmingham, Ala, on June 2S, 1900. full attendance is desired.
 WILLIAM VAUGHAN,
 Chairman" It is probable that when the committee meets it will nominate candidates for the several state offices to be filled at the August election. No names have been mentioned yet in connection with any of the offices.
 The state committee of which J. H. Bing- ham is chairman, it will be recalled, held a meeting in this city few weeks ago and nominated a full State ticket, but the &C., ton of the National Convention in recog- nizing he Vaughan faction as the regular Republican Committee of the State will have the effect, probably, of drawing the greater portion of the Republican strength from the Bingham ticket, which is headed by Charles P. Lane of Huntsville the nominee for Governor. It is not yet known whether MT. Lane and his associates on the ticket will remain in the field after the action of the National Convention in decid- ing against them.
 MT. Vaughan and the other Birmingham Republicans who went to Philadelphia to attend the convention will return home next Sunday.

EDUCATORS WILL MEET
In Charleston-G Great Gathering ofTeach-
 ers-One Fare Round Trip

The meeting of the National Educational Association, to be held in Charleston, s. C., July 7-13, will be the greatest convention ever held in the South. It is estimated that at least twenty thousand teachers, repre- senting every section of the United States, will avail themselves of the exceedingly low rates to the Atlantic seaboard. The round trip from Birmingham will be $16.6O, includ- ing membership in the association. Tickets will be for sale on the 3rd 9th and 7th of July, and will be good to return until Sep tember 1. Charleston will be the center of lew fare excursions to every point North, East and South. By depositing the return part of the ticket at Charleston the holder may secure half-fare rates to Washington, New York and to all Eastern points and to all points South as far as New Orleans It is expected that a large number of Charleston visitors from the North and East will avail themselves of the low rate and will visit Birmingham.
 It is estimated that large number of teachers and others from Birmingham will go to Charleston. Fully one hundred are expected fo go from Birmingham alone. Superintendent J. H. Phillips is director and manager for the State of Alabama, and is assisted by a committee consisting of President M. c. Wilson of Florence; Dr. J. K. Powers, of the University; Superin- tendent J. D. Yerby, of Mobile, and Presi- dent E. M. Shackelford, of Troy. A large number of the teachers of the public schools will attend the great meeting and the Board of Education will send President Ulman as it's special representative, Those intending to go to Charleston should com municate with pr. Phillips, or some mem Der of the committed in order that arrange ments may be made for their accommoda- tion and entertainment at Charleston. Ele- gant rooms at the Charleston Hotel have been secured as Alabama headquarters, where every visitor from Alabama will be expected to register and feel at home dur ing the convention. The trip will prove a most attractive one, and Alabama will not be behind her sister States in point of at tendance.

Does Not Advise Strikes

MT. Mitchell said that he did not abso- lutely advise strikes, and that they should only be resorted to when peaceful methods failed. His speech was an able presenta- tion of the labor question from the point of organization, and received the closest attention of the audience. His remarks were frequently applauded, showing that the Alabama miners are in accord with the sentiments expressed by him. He is pleasing and impressive speaker, and gives evidence of having thoroughly studied the labor question.
 MT. Mitchell will remain in the city dur ing the session of the Alabama division of the United Mine Workers, and give such counsel as Is in his power.
 At the conclusion of MT. Mitchells speech a delegate moved that the motion to re- which was tabled at the session Wednes- day afternoon be taken from the table and the vote thereon reconsidered. This mo- ton brought out considerable discussion. The motion was finally defeated, however, it being tabled by vote of 53 to 51.
 On motion a vote of thanks was extended President Mitchell for his able address.
 MT. Mitchell was requested to make a statement relative to strikes now on in several states. He said that 4,0OO men were now idle in Kansas, 5000 in Maryland, 6,O00 in the anthracite district of Pennsylvania and between 300 and 400 in Tennessee. The total number of miners out on a strike at present, he said is about 14,0O0, of which number probably 1000 are receiving assist ance from the National organization.
 When MT. Mitchell had concluded this statement the convention adjourned until 1:30 D. m.
 Afternoon Session
 Immediately after the convention had been called to order for the afternoon ses- sion delegate brought up the question of receiving committee from the Operators Association. A motion was made to recon slider past votes on the question and grant

 On his arrival MT. Mitchell was intro- Young, and in short speech urged the inn portance of organization. He said that the Southern states had always been prob- lematical question with the American Fed eration of Labor He admonished the mem- bers of the United Mine Workers to be conservative, and not to be extremists.

The annual convention of the Alabama District of the United Mine Workers of America reconvened in Seals Hall at g o'clock yesterday morning and immediate ly took up routine matters.
 The president announced the presence in the city of National President Mitchell of Indianapolis and a committee was ap- pointed to escort him to the hall. MT. Mitchell had arrived in the city in the early morning and was met at the depot by President Young of the district associa- tion, Secretary Clemo, w. R. Fairley, mem- Der of the national executive board, and others.
 The convention yesterday adopted a set of resolutions among which were demands for an eight-hour day and twice-a-month pay days
 An effort was made at the morning ses- sion to recall the vote of the day previous by which the motion to receive a commit tee from the Operators Association that they might state the position of the op- orators and the condition of the local coal and iron situation tabled, but it failed, the vote standing 51 for reconsideration to 5 against it.
 Before adjourning yesterday afternoon the convention went into executive session to hear partial report from the scale com mittee The scale of prices recommended by the committee will probably not be made known to the public until after the conference with the operators next Mon- day. The opinion seemed to prevail yester- day that the operators and the operatives would come together on same amicable basis. The delegates, as a rule, seem to be conservatively inclined.
