in Fatal Collision.
Passenger Runs Into Freight
while Going nt Full SDecd-Many
Persons More Less Hurt in
the Crash on the Newark Meadows.

ELIZABETH. N J.. April "A fatal
wreck occurred tonight at $40 o'clock on
the Newark branch of the Central Rail
road at Newark Meadows, opposite the
New Jersey Jockey Club race tracks. A
passenger train bound for Perth Amboy
crashed into coal train coming off the
sidetrack to the main line.
The passenger engine was thrown over
on its side. Engineer Mahoney and his
fireman, Cronin, both of Jersey City, were
found under the engine. Mahoney was Sc
riously injured about the head and body.
Cronin had his skull fractured and was
injured internally as well as scalded. He
was taken to the Elizabeth General Hos
pitaI where he died. Mahoney went home.
Mrs. Mccall, of $50 Marshall Street
Elizabeth, had an arm hurt and was
bruised about the body. She suffered also
from shock. A passenger from Sommer-
vile was slightly injured about the body
Conductor Creveling, of the passenger
train was seriously injured about the
head and was taken to his home in New
ark The two passenger coaches were de-
rallied. The engineer and fireman of the
coal engine were slightly injured.
The passenger train left the Broad
Street station, Newark. on time, S:5S
o clock, and was going at hlgn speed
over the Meadows. 1t is said that Ma
honey saw the lights of the coal train
to the right of the main line and did not
imagine that the engineer would cross
in front of him until 1t was too late to
slaclSen speed.
y heavy fog prevailed. which, in
measure, was responsible for the acci-
dent. Several passengers. whose names
could not be learned. were slightly brus-
ed and shaken up. They hurried TO their
homes

The result OF the spring elections thus

DEATH or THE PRESIDENT
A PERSONAL, AFFLICTION.

WILMINGTON, N. c., Sept. 14.-At
mass meeting Of representative citizens
of Wilmington today appropriate resolu.
tions were adopted upon the death OF
President Mckinley. In the resolutions
is embraced the sentiment that in his
death that of a soldier, statesman and
patriot, we have not only experienced a
national, but also a personal affection.
His lofty character. his calm, wise states
manship, and his excellent diplomacy In
handling our foreign affairs during a very
trying and exciting period of the world
history have moved the hearts of the
people as the heart of one man is moved,
and have brought the country to the front
line Of the ruling world powers.
The meeting was largely attended.

ENTIRE SOUTH MOURNS
DEATH OF PRESIDENT

The Journal had anticipated the desire
of great majority of the southern people
to show their respect for the dead presi-
dent by sending a carload of flowers TO
washington to cover the casket which
contains the body but 1t is gratifying to
know that the movement will meet the
appreciation of other papers throughout
the state, as evidenced by several tele-
grams asking The Journal to take the
matter up.
The Journal will be glad to receive con-
tributions for this purpose and take the
responsibility of making the purchase and
sending the flowers to their destination.
The Journal will head the list of contri-
buttons. and 1t is certain there will be no
trouble Whatever In raising a sufficient
amount in very short time TO make the
purchase.
ROME, Ca, Sept. 14.-Major John s.
Cohen, managing editor of The journal:
1t is suggested that the people of Georgia
send to Washington, through The Atlanta
Journal, a carload of roses and other
southern flowers to be placed on the
grave of our lamented president.

"THE QUEEN OF ANARCHISTS"

Not even in derision does woman so
hardened, so devoid Of womanliness, de-
serve the title Of queen" conferred upon
her.
If an anarchist. should be shot as sum-
marily as a rabid dog, what shorld be
done with such a woman as Ms Gold
man, who frankly acknowledges that she
is an anarchist. but at the same time
tries to exculpate herself by saying she
does not advocate violence, as that is
not the first, last and greatest principle
of anarchy.
1t is enough to bring the blush OF shame
to the face of every woman that one of
her sex, though not of our nationality"
should utter such words as are attributed
to Miss Goldman.
Tenderness and gentleness are as nee
essary to the title of womanhood as rain
and sunshine is to the perfection of flow
ers Since she has none of these requi-
sites, she has forfeited her right to the
respect due to womanhood and should be
dealt with the same as though she were
a man. even more so, for she is capable
of doing infinitely more harm than If she
were one.
It is time this country was waking up
to the danger it is drifting into by all
lowing anarchists and anarchistic meet
ings here. The narrow escape Of our
president, who has endeared himself In
the hearts Of the north and south alike,
should be a warning to us of the danger
we incur in allowing such characters to
land here.
I am glad to see The Journal, which is
to the fore as usual. advocating the sup
preston of this nefarious organization
which is seeking a foothold here.

In the last issue of his newspaper, The
Commoner which has just reached AT
lanta, Hon. w. ]. Bryan has the foiloW-
ing leading editorial under the caption
THE Nation Mourns:
The nation bows in sorrow and in hu-
mfliation-in sorrow because its chief ex-
ecutive, its official head, Is passing
through the valley Of the shadow OF
death-in humiliation because the presl-
dent of our republic has fallen victim
TO the cruel and cOwardly methods en-
ployed in monarchies where helpless ana
hopeless subjects sometimes meet arpi-
trary power with violence.
In morals and in the contemplation OF
law all lives are of equal value-an are
priceless-but when seventy-five millions
Of people select one of their number and
invest him with the authority which at
taches TO the presidency he becomes their
representative and a blow aimed at him
is resented as an attack upon all
Beneath the partisanship OF the indl-
vidual lies the patriotism Of the citizen
sometimes dormant, 1t is true, but al
vavs active in hours of peril or misfor-
tune. While the presidents life hangs
in the balance there are no party lines.
The grief of personal friends and close
noliticaI associates may be more poign-
ant but their sympathy is not more sin
cere than that extended by poltical OPP
ponents. Although none but his family
and his physicians are admitted to MS
room All his countrymen are at his bed

prayers ascend for his recovery. II was
characteristic of his thoughtfulness that,
even amid the excitement following the
assault, he cautioned his companions not
to exaggerate his condition to his Invalid
wife.

And the humiliation Are our public
servants-those who are chosen by the

ple-are these % live in constant fear Of
assassination? Is there to be no differ
ence between our constitutional govern
ment and those despotic governments
which rest not upon the consent OF the
governed, but upon brute force?
There is no place for anarchy in the
United States; there is no room here for
those who commit, counsel or condone
murder. no matter what political excuse
may be urged in it's defense. The line be-
tween peaceful agitation and violence is
clear and distinct. We have freedom Of
speech and freedom of the press in this
country, and they are essential to the
maintenance of our liberties. If any one
desires TO CRITICIZE the NERVOUS OF gov

has a perfect right to do so, but his APP
peal must be to the intelligence and pa
triotism of his fellow-citizens. not to
force. Let no one imagine that he can
improve social or political conditions by
the shedding O. blood.
Free governments may be overthrown,
but they cannot be reformed by those
who violate the commandment, Thou
shalt not kill"
Under a government like ours every
wrong can be remedied by law and the
laws are in the hands of the people them

WAY OF THE TRANSGRESS0R.
Tragic Life Of Woman Who is Now
Insane.

GAINESVILLE, Ca, Sept. 12.-One of
the most interesting lunacy cases in the
history of Gainesville is that of a negro
woman named Mandy Pruitt Her life
has been one of tragedy, and now the
last scene before the curtain falls and
her feet slip from the stage of action has
a touch Of pathos in 1t.
Years ago she, in drunken condition,
defied arrest by Chief of Police Kitrell
and Policeman Towery She was near the
Southern depot at the time, and when
Chief Kitrell advanced to arrest her over
her protest her father, John Pruitt. shot
and killed him. Mr.. Towery In turn shot
the negro down, who also died instantly.
Mandy was then arrested as Chief Kitrell
and her father lay dead on the ground
near by.
Her life from then on has been a
checkered one. Last year the house she
lived in was burned and later she begged
bread on the streets. She received no aid,
as her mother and brothers were alive
and had plenty. Recently she became
raving maniac and was captured near the
spot where the double killing took place
on her account a number of years ago.
II. II. Towery, who shot her father then
after he had shot the chief, is now CHIEF
Of police and he, with Policeman Prater,
captured her yesterday and landed her in
Hall county jail. where she will remain
until there is room for her in the state
sanitarium.
II Is singular that Mr. Towery should
have captured her on these two occasions
on practically the same ground with their
date so far apart.
Your correspondent called to see her at
the Jail and found her raving. She is
maniac beyond question. The people who
live in the vicinity OF the Jail were great
" Disturbed by her rawlings last night
She simply made the night hideous. She
can be heard several blocks. but as the
state sanitarium is full her hideous oaths
must be borne with by those in hearing
distance. One peculiar act Of hers Is to
lick out her tongue like snake. She
viii eat no food. but has gnawed off the
corner OF the mattress that she is on.
The life she has led the manner in
which she uses her tongue Ike snake
when she Is approached and the way she
gnaws the mattress like an animal Is
food for thought 1t is a terrible life with
an awful elimination, though it be only
the life of a poor negro woman, whom
we are informed was, when she was at
herself. one OF the best cooks in Gaines
Vile.
