After the athletic young man, resting
lazily in an easy chair, had studied the

he replied to the pretty sister who had
twice asked him the same question:
"Bess, you know l don't care the turn

and the sister took observations from

Brave Words Indeed.

On the question of the suffrage, If
for no other reason, the Maryland
Democrats deserve to be defeated this
year, as they We're Il year ago. Their
position is wholly mischievous and to-
tally indefensible. This is what they
solemnly declare:
THE Democratic party represents
more than 10000 majority of the white
people of Maryland. They, in common
with their brethren of other states, in
which large masses of colored voters
have been injected into the body po-
litic, recognize that peace, good order,
personal safety and proper develop
ment of our material interests depend
upon the control of the commonwealth
by its intelligent white residents.
Without the aid of the GOOOO colored
voters, the Republican party in Mary
land would be n hopeless minority.
I'VE therefore, without hesitation,
proclaim that the success of the Demo-
cratic party will mean that, while we
shall deal with perfect fairness in Sc
curing all the benefits of good govern
ment and full and free opportunities
for education to all classes, such ac.
ton must be taken as to prevent the
control of the state government from
passing into the hands of those who
have neither the ability, nor the inter.
est, to manage public affairs wisely
and we'll"
Brave words for n white mans party
in a state where the white voters out
number the colored voters more than
three to one.
In only one county of Maryland do
the colored voters preponderate, and
there only n slender majority. In
all the counties OF the state the admin
istration is wholly in the hands of
white men, as is the entire electoral
machinery and the power of political
organization.
1t is Il fraudulent issue. There is no
conceivable menace to white suprem-
acy in Republican success in Mary
land.-New York sun

ming Tribune, warns the assassins of

tives of the family in Kentucky will
not tolerate any further attack upon

right now warn the hyenas who are
seeking the life of Kels p. Nickel and
his little boys that they have gone far
enough. and that we don't intend for
that family to be slaughtered If such

ers and assassins, beware"

FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT
NEAR CHAMA, NEW MEXICO

story Of what took place. She lost her
yalise, pocketbook and other small ef-
fects in the car, but says she is very
thankful for escaping death.
u. d. Mcdowell, NJ. D., medical In
spector of the State Board of Health,
was in one of the coaches and was one
of the first to enter the wrecked car
through n hole made by an axe. The
rest of the passengers worked with
willing hands and soon had the injured
out, but it took some time to remove
the body of Sister Baptiste, as por-
tion of the body was out of and under
the car.
DIR. Mcdowell administered opiates
and at once set about stopping the flow
of blood from Mccoy, who was becom-
ing weak. The agent at Chama was
notified and assistance from that place
secured. The dead and injured were
brought to Durango, arriving at this
evening, and all were taken to Mercy
hospital.
The condition of Mccoy was seen to
be precarious. He had been drinking
heavily, 1t is stated, and the opiate
had but little influence for some time,
hence it was hard to handle him in his
crazed condition and an operation
could not be attempted. Mccoy was
en- route to Silverton with a pugilist
named Mcdonald, where fight Is ad-
vertised to take place Saturday night
Mccoy backing Mcdonald. At first
he did not want to give his name to
the train crew. Mcdonald stopped off
and assisted in looking after his wants.
Mr.. Whan, the Pullman conductor, is
young man and has wife residing in
Denver.
Sister Baptiste is well known all over
the state. Durango was Il favorite
place with her and she was coming
here in response to a message announc-
ing the dangerous illness of Sister
Mary Charles, whose life hangs by a
slender thread and who cannot live
another twenty-four hours, so those in
charge state. AS yet the sick woman
has not been Informed as to why the
reverend mother has not called to see
| her. Sister Baptiste founded the Du-
range hospital about eighteen years
ago. She had charge of several other
institutions in the state. which she also
| founded. She was about fifty-five
! years of age.
Mccoy died at Mercy hospital during
the night

1t may be assumed, for the only men-
ace it bears is against the Democratic
party, which he still aspires to lead.
But the very circumstance that these
groups are drawing away from the old
party strengthens the elements that are
trying formally to unhorse him, and
the principles announced in June by
the committee which is trying to unite
them-public ownership, an income
tax and fiat money-are practically his
own. He was ready in 1900 to refuse
a Democratic and accept Populistic
nomination if his silver plank was re-
jected. No one may be certain that he
will not be found training with these
radical groups in 1904. But meanwhile
they must show strength enough to in
dicate that they have something to
trade and this is not n propitious time
nor is Kansas City an auspicious place
for q new party of discomfort

Republican Special.)-By the derailing
and overturning of Pullman sleeper
on the Denver & Rio Grande west
bound express, near Chama, New Mex
leo, this afternoon. Mother Bapuste,
head of the order of Sisters of Mercy
In Colorado, was instantly killed, Sis
ter Nora of Denver, her companion
fatally injured, and Marley Mccoy re-
ceived injuries which caused MS death
at the hospital.
Pullman Conductor J. q. Whan was
badly hurt about the hips and his legs
are paralyzed. Miss Nellie Lewis of
Silverton, and the porter, the only 9th
er persons in the car, escaped with
slight scratches and bruises.
The rest of the train remained on the
track and none of those on the other
cars We're injured
While rounding the curve four miles
east of Chama, at point near the
high trestle over Wolff creek, the Pull
man car left the track in some manner
as yet unaccountable to employees.
There We're six people in the car at the
time it went over falling broadside on
almost level ground, having just
emerged from cut about 200 feet
from the trestle, which is 100 feet
high.
Mother Bapdste, head of the order
of the Sisters of Mercy of Colorado,
was thrown head first through the
window on the other side, which
struck the ground. AS the car dragged
along her skull was crushed and death
was evidently instant
In the seat opposite her was Sister
Nora of Denver, who was accompany
ing the mother. She was caught be-
tween the car and the ground, having
several ribs broken and being severely
injured internally. She is at Mercy
hospital and late tonight the doctors
report her case very serious, and likely
to die.
In seat farther ahead in the car
was Harley Mccoy, noted for having
killed Captain Hawley in Denver some
years ago. He was asleep at the
time.
In the center of the car was Miss
Nellie Lewis, bound for Silverton
When the car tipped she was thrown
over, and realizing her predicament
grabbed the railing of the seat with
both hands and steadied herself while
the car was being tossed about. She
fortunately escaped with only slight
cut on one finger, She told n graphic
