RICHARD OLNEY CENSURED
By Meeting of the Citizens of His
Home Town

Falmouth. Mass. September 1S.-Ac-
this village, Michael Conway. a coach
man for Hon. Richard Olney, former
secretary of state. in commenting upon
the shooting of President Mckinley.
said:
1T is good thing President McKir-
ley was shot; he should have been killed
long ago.
The affidavit was made by Geor~e II.
Godfrey, in connection with an indigna-
ton movement of the citizens, started
when the remark became known. Mr..
Olney was advised of the matter AMI it
was reported that the man had been dis
charged. Not being able to verify a re-
port of such action 100 citizens, repre-
Senting about one-third of the voting
population of this village. determined to
give Conway a coat of tar and feathers
last night. Not finding Conway the men
marched to Mr.. Olney'S house to find
out whether the coachman was still
there. The ex-secretary of state refused
to appear at their demand. The crowd
sang Nearer My God to Thee" Amer
ica' and made repeated. but fruitless
efforts to bring a responce from Mr..
Olney.
At length the citizens started for the
town hall where resolution was unan-
imousiy adopted saying that 1.-The course
pursued by Hon. Richard Olney, at a
time when the nation is in mourning, is
an insult to American citizenship"
After the meeting the citizens pre-
pared an effigy OF Conway which they
hung on a pole.

WILL PROVE A BLESSING
Rev. DIR. Kirby Said Presidents Death
Will be Country's Salvation

Rev. DR.. J. E. Kirby preached yes
terday morning and last night at the
Independent Presbyterian church, fill
ing the pulpit for the pastor, Rev. DR..
James Y. Fair, who is away on his
vacation, and his sermons were well
received. He is president of the Theo-
logical seminary at Atlanta, a position
he fills this year for the first time.
For some years DR.. Kirby was pastor
OF the Circular church at Charleston.
During his morning sermon DR.. Kir-
by spoke of the assassination of Pres
1dent Mckinley. He described touch
ingly the departure of the late pres
ident for Buffalo, his speech at that
place and the dastardly deed OF the
assassin. While deeply deploring his
death, DR.. Kirby said that there was
yet one thing that would grow out Of
1t that would be of great good to the
country, that being the greater abili-
ty of statesmen to grasp the greatest
problem that confronts them-that OF
dealing with anarchy and philosophical
socialism.
In time said the preacher, citizens
Will see that the death of the president
by an assassin's hand will prove the
salvation of the country. 1t is diff
cult to see in great grief anything
OF good, the preacher said, but it will
develop that it was to the good of the
country that this great calamity has
befallen it. 1t will prove an instance
OF the mysterious ways in which God
works to perform his wonders.-Savan-

EMMA GoLDMAN's BOND

Chicago, September 1s.-Magistrate

Emma Goldman. the anarchist, her f-e o.
dom until the case comes up for a hear
Ing, under bonds of $4,000. Her attor-
neys said they had secured $4,000 and
Immediately left the court room to &C.
cure the additional money necessary.
Meanwhile Miss Goldman was led pack
TO the woman's annex at the Harrison
street station. She was much dIsap-
pointed at the amount Of the bond re-
Quired.
The hearing of Miss Goldman's case
on the charge of conspiracy to murder
President Mckinley was set for to-
morrow. Her counsel. however, learn
ing that there would be no session OF
the courts tomorrow because of the
presidents funeral decided at the con-
ference this morning to take the matter
of bail before magistrate today. The
matter of Miss Goldman's innocence or
guilt OF the charge against her was not
mentioned. as Justice Prindiville has de-
clded to follow the example of Judge
Chetlain. who has the ,.ases of the other
anarchists before him.
MISS Goldman was exceedingly cheer
ful when She was brought into court by
Chief Matron Keegan. and chatted vi
vaciously with her attorneys. She wore
the blue walking skirt and DARK jacket
which have become familiar at the sta
ton.
Mr.. Geeting, for Miss Goldman, ad-
dressed the court first. He said that
while the defence was willing to allow
the police every opportunity to secure
evidence against Miss Goldman, as we'll
as the other anarchists. he was conf
dent that Miss Goldman was entitled
under the law to freedom under bond.
Il can assure the court said the law
Yer, that my client Il under no bond
at all other than her word. would .ap-
pear before this court whenever desir-
ed.'
John E. Owens. representing the city
prosecutor. made no objection to bail
being allowed, but pleaded that in view
of the Importance Of the case, and the
national interest in it. the bond be made
as heavy as possible in accordance with
the Illinois statutes.

Any outrage along the track was utter

approach it.
The town Of Compiegne was bril-

MEXICASS GREATLY INTERESTED
In the Future Policy of President
Roosevelt as Recently Outlined

Mexico City, September 1.-THE AS
sociated Press account of the declared
policy of President Roosevelt excited
great interest here. The presidents s
declaration in favor of better steam
ship communication with Mexican Pa
cific ports and the building of an 18TH
mian canal was we'll received, for it is
believed that the construction of the
canal will promote the growth and
prosperity of the west coast. 1t is
generally believed that the relations
between the Mexican and the Ameri-
can governments will continue to be
as friendly under President Roosevelt
as during the incumbency OF President
Mckinley
Ell Universal publishes a leading ar
ticle by Senor Dublan Montesinosite in
which he alleges that during the Span
ish war he had an interview with Pres
ldent Roosevelt, then assistant secre-
tary of the navy and that Roosevelt
said that Mexico must either absorb
Central America or be in turn absorb
ed by the United States. This article
has caused some gossip.
One remarkable feature of the COM
ment on McKinleys assassination is
the sympathy shown by the Spanish
residents who had come to respect Nc
kinley as a sincere friend of Spain
and magnanimous in the hour Of vic
tory.

SIX PASSENGERS KILLED
By Collision of Trains on Account
an Open Switch

Brockton, Mass, Setember 1S.-A
switch not properly set brought a pas
senger-express and a heavy freight
train together with the resultant deaths
of six passengC rs on the express train,
and injuries Of twenty-five others this
afternoon, on the main line of the New
York at New York and Hartford rail-
road at Avon. 1t was running forty
miles an hour at the time of the acci-
dent
OF the six persons who were killed
but four have been identified. The two
unidentified bodies are those of women,
one quite elderly and very large in fig
ure. The other unidentified victim was
apparently % years of age, with light
hair. evidently a Swede.
A freight train of thirty cars laden
with granite, coal and gravel, had just
been made up on a siding and was
proceeding south in the same direction
IS the express. Engineer Sheldon, of
the freight, figured that he had four
minutes to spare to get on side track
further down.
One Of his train crew had set the
switch of a "cross over in such a
manner that when the freight engine
struck it, it was turned on to the main
track. Engineer Sheldon did not notice
this switch quickly enough to enable
him to stop his train and, before he
realized it the express dashed past on
the other track.
The engine of the express and bag
gage car succeeded in getting by before
the freight engine reach the train, but
the second car Of the train, the smoker,
was struck squarely in the middle and
turned over, being thrown down the
steep embankment. landing on it's side
in some soft. thick mud. The third
car of the train, passenger coach, was
dragged over by the force Of the COM
pact and likewise landed on it's side In
the ditch. The last car on the train
stayed on the track.
The collision came with such sudden
ness that the passengers in the three
cars were thrown with great force from
their seats. AS the cars were instant
ly thrown upon their sides, many pas
sengers fell upon each other and those
underneath were forced through the
windows into the mud beneath. The
cylinder on the right side Of the freight
engine was torn off and escaping steam
added to the horror. The noise caused
by the accident attracted a crow imme-
diately and it was only short time be-
fore hundreds were assisting in the
work of rescue.
