R.BROUGHTON PAINFULLY HURT
Trolley Car Struck His Buggy, Throw

ATLANTA, GA, June 19-Ihe ttonSI-
tuition says:
A buggy in which Rev. DR.. Il. G. Brough-
ton and Miss Kate Irby We're riding last
night was struck by a trolley car on
Whitehall Street, and DR.. Broughton was
painfully injured. While the young lady
escaped unhurt.
The accident occurred directly opposite
the residence OF l.. Lieberman. 304 White
hall Street, and DR.. Broughton was taken
into Mr. Lieberman's house. He seemed
to be suffering a great deal OF pain and
was almost in a faint. y physician was
summoned as quickly as possible.
Dr. Broughton had been to religious
services at a tent near the WOODEN mills.
in the southern part of the city, and he
and Miss Irby were returning home They
were driving along Whitehall Street about
10 O'Clock a trolley car came up behind
them going in the same direction. The
buggy was struck and badly wrecked. One
of the wheels was torn off and Miss Irby.
made a motion as if she was about to leap
from the buggy. DR.. Broughton seized
hold of her and in the next moment he
was thrown forward. His leg was caught
between the axle and the wheel and his
head struck the street pavement.
The occupants Of the buggy are posi-
tive that the mo tornlan on the car did not
ring his bell until too late, and the motor
man states that he did ring the bell in
time TO give Dr.. Broughton warning of
the approach Of the car.
Rev Dr. Rroughton is we'll known in
Richmond. He has preached here FREE.

ROOSEVELT IN 1904.
Slogan OF the Marquette Clu'
Banquet.

Banquet.
Chicago, April S0.-"Theodore Roose-
velt, of New York, for President in
1904" was the slogan of the Marquette
Club banquet tonight. Governor
Roosevelt was there, and looked happy
at its suggestion and its hearty endorse
ment of cheers from the 200 banqueters.
Toastmaster Frank Lowden told the
guest of honor that only a few years
ago the Marquette Club had brought
out William Mckinley as a presiden-
tial candidate, and when his remarks
switched to Roosevelt" "White
House." and 'IaQ4," the 200 tried
hard to make themselves hoarse.
Governor Roosevelt was the first
speaker of the evening, because he had
TO leave early. He pleaded for high
ideals in politics, but said nothing
could be accomplished unless things
were gone at practically and deter
lninedly. He Knocked at the "goody-
goody man" who refused to do his
political duty because he was "jostled
by the rude man."
In an interview today Governor
Roosevelt declared that he would rather
be in private life than be vice-president
of the United States. He said that
his position in regard to the Republi'
can nomination for this Office was abso'
lutely unalterable. He said he would
be glad if the Republicans of New
York should renominate him for gov
ernor. and expressed the belief that he
could be of more service to his party
and the public in that position than al
vice-president.
In reply to question as to how ht
regarded Admiral Dewey as presiden
tial possibility, he said the admira
was a personal friend of his, and he die
not care to talk of him politically.
