SWEEPING DECISION.
May Drive Many Rich Concerns
From the State of
Illinois.

News-Democrat Leased Wire Service.
Chicago, Oct. 25.-The sweeping de-
cision of the supreme court, which
will allow taxing corporations and
franchises at full value, may drive
many rich concerns from the state.
1t is also stated that under this deci-
sion back taxes for % years can be
collected. This would bankrupt many
concerns. Four thousand corporations
in the state with capital of $l,5OO,00O,-
600 are affected. One effect will be to
reduce tax rate materially and lift
the burden from poor people.

Scrap Occurs In Front
Of Navarro Postofflce.
PARTY DIFFERENCES
Postmaster Throtties q Com
nitteeman--Would-be Boss
es In the Ranks Of the
G. O. p. at Navarro.

Navarro, o., Oct. 26.--This usually
quiet village is wrought up consider
ably over the differences between Post
master 10 Thomas. and James Define
one of the Republican committeeman
here, which resulted ia the latter be-
ing choked by the postmaster.
The story is that Thomas. who is a
Welshman and Republican, has at
tempted to dictate how party affairs
should be conducted. and Define, the
committeeman, an Italian by birth, re-
sented any interference upon the part
of the postmaster, holding that as COM
mitteemen he and his associates were
competent to manage party affairs and
that the postmaster should not be per-
niciously active but attend strictly 20
selling and canceling stamps for Uncle
Sam.
Define went to the postoffice in the
evening to get his mail end, according
to the story of eyewitnesses, the post
master laid hands on MIN and led him
out of the building where the brawny
Welshman and servant of the people
choked the son of sum, Italy. Define
at first thought Thomas was joking
and made no resistance. but he discov-
cred soon that the postmaster was in
earnest.
Thomas claims that Define had been
talking about him, and Define siren
uously denies the allegation and Is
inclined to scorn the alligator in the
future.
The incident cannot be classed among
the closed ones, for there is no telling
what the next move will be in the war-
fare among the leaders of the G. o. p.
In the meantime the Democrats arc
enjoying the various tales of the scrap
with deal of relish and are endeavor-
ing to keep themselves posted as TO the
latest developments. svf

Others crouched close to the deck,
moaning pitifully. Many jumped into
the sea.
Capt. Ward remained on deck until
the vessel had settled to such an extent
that the water was engulHng him.
Then he went up on the bridge and
from there continued to issue direc-
tons, although by this time the con-

KILLED IN A WRECK
TWENTY PERSONS LOSE THEIR
LIVES AND FORTY INJURED.
Two Trains Collide at Full Speed
Both Engines Completely DenOl-
tshed - HOrrifying Scenes at the
Wreck-Dead and Injured Piled
Under the Wreckage which, to
Add to the Horror, Took Fire
Accident Caused by IL BluMder.

Trenton, N. j., Feb. 23.-One Of the
worst collisions in the history of the
Perth Amboy division of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad occurred yesterday af-
ternoon at Rusling's Siding, near
Bordentown, and about eight miles
south of Trenton. The Nellie Bly,
express from New York for Atlantic
City collided with a passenger train
No. $50, running from Camden to Tren-
ton. The number of dead so far known
is twenty, and the injured upward of
forty. A special train at about
O'Clock from the scene of the wreck
brought four dead bodies and eighteen
wounded persons to Trenton. Most of
the dead and injured are Italians. The
Italians were riding in the smoking
ear of the express train. They were
being taken to Atlantic City to do con-
struction work for the railway COM
pany. The scene of the wreck is de-
scribed by those who were present as
norrifying. The two trains collded at
full speed and both engines We're COM
pletely demolished. The forward car
Of each train, in both instances a COM
bination baggade and smoker, were en-
tirely demolished also, and
To Add to the Horror
the wreckage took fire. The second
car of the Nellie Bly, turned over on
Its side and the passengers had to
climb out through the windows. In
this they were assisted by passengers
from the cars that did not leave the
track. The track of the Pennsylvania
Is so close to the Delaware and Rari-
tan canal that the passengers in get
ting out of the overturned coach got
into the canal and many of the bodies
Of the dead and injured had to be
taken from the water. Thomas c.
Lawrence of Trenton said he saw one
man, buried beneath the ruins and cry
ing for assistance. He tried to pry
him out, but he could do nothing to
help him. He believes the man per-
tshed in the flames. The scene of the
wreck was far from outside assistance,
and when the wrecking train arrived
from Trenton it was after dark and
the work Of clearing up the debris and
removing the bodies was necessarily
slow. The Nellie Bly, was running
In three sections and it was the third
section with which No. 800 cOllided.
The local train had taken the siding to
permit the express train to pass and it
is believed that through some mis-
came out on the main track after the
second section had passed, installing
