UNDER AN ENGINE
A Seeming Attempt to Kill
a Fireman.
Tom Johnson Starts an Engine Under Which
Was the Fireman Cleaning the Ash
pan. On Trial Today,

Tom Johnson, negro, will receive a
preliminary hearing before Mayor Powell
today at 2 O'Clock on charge of assault
and battery with intent to kill.
The affair for which he is to
stand trial took place Saturday night.
Mr.. George Burroughs, fireman for the
Southern Railway, was under his engine,
cleaning out the ash pan when Johnson
climbed on the engine and opened the
trottle. Mr.. Burroughs would have UNI
doubtely have been mangled under the
engine, but for his presence of mind. He
placed heavy iron bar in the wheel SO
that it caught when the wheel revolved,
and as there was but little steam in the
engine, it came to standstill. after
moving about six feet
Mr.. Burroughs got from his perilous
position and climbed back on the engine.
The negro then attacked him, and it is
said it took six men to bring the negro
to the guard house.
1t is said that Johnson belonged to a
squad of negroes who were discharged
from the road some time ago. and it is
thought he places the blame for his dis
charge upon MIR. Burroughs
The preliminary hearing takes place
today at o'clock. Mr., A. b. Andrews,
Jr., represent the State and Mr.. S. G..
Ryan the defendant. 1t is said an
attempt will be made by the defense to
postpone the trial.

age OF the government at his disposal
for five years he built up machine in
Ohio that for the time being entirely
eclipsed the intellect OF Foraker.
But the death OF Mckinley restored
party conditions in Ohio to q normal
basis. 1t did not require much pres
cience to understand that under Roose-
welt there would be more Foraker and
less Hanna in the controlling councils
of the Republican party. The break
has occurred sooner than expected, and
1t marks the doom and end OF Hanna.
Foraker has allied himself with Roose-
welt. and the Federal patronage in Ohio
will be at the disposal OF Foraker, In.
stead Of the gift OF Hanna. Without pa.
tronage, without the ownership ofla Fed
erai administration, Hanna will disap-
pear from the political stage. Those
who are ready to destroy him are in the
saddle.
We do not believe that Foraker 10
wise statesman, or by any means an
ideal public character. But he 10 infin-
itely superior to Hanna. He 10 intellect
uai and forceful, and is begotten OF the
people. Hanna is entirely creature OF
the corporation and the syndicate. Han
ma is the most dangerous man to Ameri.
can institutions that ever won COM
manding position in American public
life. If Roosevelt destroys the power of
Hanna he will render great public ser.
vice. The alliance OF the administration
with Foraker can only mean that the
determination of Hannaism is contem-
plated.

FORAKER AND HANNA.

A dispatch from Washington tells as
that Foraker and Hanna have reached
the parting OF the ways. This 10 of
MACH political significance and is bound
to have a far reaching influence on the
fortunes and perhaps on the policies OF
the Republican party.
Foraker ia man OF senatorial ability.
He 10 entirely worthy Of representing a
great State in the council Of States. lie
is q party leader by right OF intellect
and the length and character OF his pub
lie services. He has served on the bench
and has been twice governor OF his State.
He won the confidence Of his party by
hard party work, by fierce contest with
his political enemies, by open appeal to
the passions, the prejudice, the parti-
sanship oi the Republican masses. He
IL a sturdy American fighter, a good
lover and good hater, never went into
the suIka when defeated and never rX-
ccntcd his prisoners in the hour OF vie
tory.
1t was to he.rHpccfrd that man ot
Foraker atta,nmrnts and prominence
would have conspicuous Influence IN "a
lcpI-iati,e body where his party friends
were IN thc majority, Ns matter OF
fact. however, Ao ha= hccn treated up to
this time ~ a ~iep-@on II, the senate
and entirely mhordtnated to thc great
or prominence and motr potent iuilu-
cncr ii his colleague. Nr. Hanna has
neither the qualities, the ability, the
character. the learning essential to be Il
senator ui the United States. lie is
nothing IN himself lie represents the
power OF wealth IN politics. He IL the
arbitrary director of machine, lie re.
presents everything that ia gross, dis
graceful and dangerous in public life.
The election Of Mckinley to the Presid-
ency brought Hanna to the front. lie
had never made speech He had never
rendered public service; hnt poor old

distinguished public service Was crowd
