capitalizing his colossal fortune. Mr..
Morgan and his associates relieve Mr..
Carnegie of the entire burden Of hnsi.

he will draw per cent. interest as

NECK BROKEN BY A TRAIN.
Green Pate Undertook to Get on
Moving Train.

Louisville. Ga, Sept. 15.-Coroner II.
A. Diehl has just returned from
Spread, Ca. where he was called this
morning by a telegram to hold an in
quest over Green Pate, a white man
of that place, who was killed by the
west bound Southern Railway train
there this morning.
He undertook to get off the train
while II was in motion and missed his
footing and was dragged some dis
lance. His neck and shoulders were
broken by the fall. 1t is stated that he
was intoxicated.
Another story has it that Pate was
put OFF an excursion train at a late
hour last night He had two jugs with
him. This theory of his death is that
Pate was run down at the end of a
trestle and knocked off by the train
on the return trip to Augusta. An
other and the most likely theory is that
in the darkness he missed his footing
and fell violently on the rail, death re-
sulting quickly. The report that he
had been robbed and killed for money
is discredited.
