THIRTY-FIvE PLUNGE TO DEATH
Fall Sixty Feet Into a Torrent Beneath
the Southern Railway.


Ihirty-fYe persons lost ther lives IN q
wreck on the Southern Railway, one mile
north of McDonough, Ga, and twenty
six miles south of Atlanta, at 800 o'clock
Saturday night. Although a flood of rain
was failing and the train was partially
submerged in the bed of a raging creek,
many Of the victims were burned to
death.
The train, running at the rate of forty
miles an hour, plunged into Camp creek,
and engine, cars and sleeper were piled
up together The storm had caused a
torrent of water to rush down the creek,
sweeping away the 125-foot trestle just
before the appearance Of the train, which
rounded curve and fell over a bank six
ty feet high. Lamps in the coaches ex-
ploded, setting fire to the cars, and many
of the victims who were pinned down
were burned to death, others were drown
ed in the rushing water and SUI others
were killed by the wreckage and fearful
fall of the train.
A fagman named Quinlan was one Of
the first to get out of the wreck. He ran
to McDonough, notified the telegraph ep-
orator of the wreck and fell fainting to
the floor. Citizens organized rescuing
parties at midnight and the work was
kept up all night and the next day, with
the result that thirty bodies have
been recovered. Only three women were
on the train and of these two escaped.

Before first thrushes on frst blossoms

While yet Night geigned, in fragrance

There sprang and grew. the golden daffo-

No Need of a Gold Ticket.

The talk of nominating gold Demo-
crat'' Presidential ticket this year
should and most probably will end in
talk. There is no occasion for such a
ticket. Four years ago free silver was
the dominant issue in the campaign.
This year, though it may be talked
about in certain sections, it will not be
an issue at ell, because the money
question is settled for at least four
years to come by an Interchangeable Re
publican majority in the Senate.-New

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Tendency.

There is a well-detined imperialistic
tendency in this country at the present
title, against which the Democratic
party may well protest. 1t is shown in
the ayowed purpose to govern our new
possessions outside of the constitution.
It's most marked manifestation was in
the enactment of the Porto Rican tariff,
and in the enunciation of the Presiden-
tial theory that the constitution does
not follow the flag.

Tie Democrats will find all the cam
paign ammunition they need in the ac-
ton and nonaction of the late session of
congress in its assertion of unconstitu-

Dean c. Worcester, one of the Philip

story of the late Gen. Lawton: Il was
with Gen. Lawton at the village of linus
after our soldiers occupied it. The ma
uyes were very glad to see us, and they
soon formed an affection for Gen. Law
ton, who never tired of listening to their
complaints and helping them. The Fill

the village band of linus to play the
Star Spangled Banner Gen. Lawton
was greatly interested. | took the leader
OF the band to my hut and whistled the
air over and over for him and he wrote
out the music after half an hours work
Then he drilled the hand, and in the
course of day or two the band played it
excellently. The village priest was so
glad TO see Gen. Lawton that he intro
duced the Star Spangled Banner into
the regular mass music of the church, to
show, as he expressed it, that h. appre-
ciated what the Americans had done for
them. The priest told Gen. Lawton that
he was always going TO have the Star
Spangled Banner played as part Of the
mass, and as long as we were there be
did so.'
