The motorman jerked his lever to
nearly full speed notch and sent the
car down hill at frightfuI pace. 1t
struck the presidents landau and
smashed it to finders.
The president was thrown several
feet, landing on his head in a heap,
with Governor Murray Crane, Secre-
tary Lawrence and Secretary Cortel-
you. The presidents lip was cut and
his right cheek bruised. He was badly
shaken up, but quickly jumped to his
feet to render assistance to the other
members of his party, who for mo-
ment lay stunned.
The crowd. was awe stricken. The
people feared the president had been
killed and rushed to the wreck, no one
expecting to find him alive. As the
nearest reached the demolished car
Giage the president scrambled to his
feet and forgot his own injuries and
danger in aiding those more severely
injured. Governor Crane was practi-
cally unhurt, though he was thrown
into the air. Secretary Cortelyou was
injured on the back of the head and on
the nose, but his injuries were not Sc
rious. He was rendered unconscious
by his fall, however.

his skull being crushed, his heart and
lungs being laid bare and his right arm
severed above the wrist.
Driver Pratt was found unconscious
on the road, with a sprained ankle and
a disIocated shoulder His face was
also cut and bruised. 1t is thought he
will recover.
The president, Governor Crane, Sec
rotary Cortelyou and Representative
Lawrence entered Governor Cranes
carriage after the accident and pro-
ceeded to Lenox. The president re-
NAMED there more than an hour and
then left for Bridgeport.
When the fatal collision occurred, the
presidential party was still in sight of
a portion of the multitude that had
just ceased cheering the nations chief
after he finished his brief address here.
He had been driven to this city from
Dalton, a few miles distant, where he
had spent the night at Governor
Cranes residence and where he had
made an early morning speech before
beginning what had been looked for
ward to as a delightful coaching trip
through the Berkshire hills.
1t had been arranged to have the
presidential party guarded by a small
mounted detail of the Second Massa-
chusetts infantry, but the escort was
not very close to the Roosevelt car
riage or the catastrophe might have
been averted.
After the president and those accom-
panying him left Pittsfield park they
drove to former United States Sena-
tor Dawes house in East street and
then proceeded down South street to
the suburbs. just after passing over
the bridge spanning the Housatonic
river and Immediately north of A. b.
Stevens home a trolley car manned by
Luke j. Madden, a new motornlan, ran
into the presidents carriage.
When Craig saw the impending dam

averted, he was heard to say, ooh, my

the air and fell under the car wheels.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Sept. 4.-The
Democratic convention has nominated
Franklin K Lane Of San Francisco for
governor. A platform was adopted de-
nouncing protective tariff and the
trusts as inimical to the best interests

of laws, state and federal, prohibiting
the issuance of injunctions in labor dis
putes infringing upon the rights Of
free speech, free assemblages and free

dorses the construction of the isthmian
canal and favors legislation looking to
it's early completion, favors an eight

Bigelow, Cincinnati; supreme Judge,
Michael Donnelley, Napoleon; food and

The proceedings were in accord with
esthe rounds of pleasure" The session
lasted less than three hours and had
only one ballot, most of the time being
devoted to speeches, and that of Rev.

feature of the occasion. In presenting
the names of candidates and in second

lions over score of orators were
heard, but none of them commanded
more attention, not excepting the key

Substantial Railroad Prospects,

Baton Rouge Advocate.
The stockholders of the Baton
Rouge -Opelousas and Western
Railroad met at the office OF the
Bank of Baton Rouge on Wednes-
day evening to hear the report OF
Messrs II. Mayer and ID. NJ. Rey-
mond upon the results OF their
visit to st. Louis in the interest
of this great enterprise. Beside
the hattering and encouraging
statements already given in the
prints, the committee went into
details concerning what transplred
! in St. Louis and demonstrated
that the pl aspects for the building
of this railroad are very substanti-
al indeed.
The president and a committee
from the directors Of the largest
financial concern in st Louis are
now understood to be in Texas
coming over land, in hacks over
the line of the proposed road.
They are profoundly interested in
the project, as evidenced by their
personal and careful investigation
of every foot OF the proposed rail
way. They are under the pilotage
of Mayor Welsh and expect to
reach Baton Rouge very soon and
to receive welcome from our
people that will at once make
them feel like friends and brothers.
They will be shown the city and
surrounding country and enter
tanned as Baton Rouge knows how
to entertain.
The local promoters have only
the public good at heart. They
are putting up their money ano
giving their time in a manner thai
shows a generous public spirit.
Baton Rouge will be expected
to vote five mill, ten year tax II
aid Of this project, and this will
no doubt, be done promptly ant
gladly.

SIDEWALKS.

There are many miles of side
walks in this town that are con-
stantly needing repairs and re-
building. There was time.
when cypress lumber sold at s17.-
so per 1000 feet, that very good
walk could be built and kept in
good repair at nominal cost. In
those good old days there were
two sawmills, in convenient loca
ton in the town, which gave away
annually hundreds of cords of
wood and kindling to the poor
people.
Today the best grade Of cypress
land it is folly to use any other
grade for sidewalk building) ap-
proximates double the old price.
No more fuel and kindling are to
be had free. A loose board on
any sidewalk soon finds it's way to
some cabin home, where ii becomes
fuel or kindling. The replacing
of these stolen boards every win
ter becomes a severe tax to the
property owner.
A plank walk, 10 feet wide,
across the front Of a 100 foot lot,
if put down with II inch boards,
will require something over 1000
feet of lumber, exclusive of curb
ing. When all the other costs,
drayage, Carpenter work and
nails, are figured in, such walk
approximates a cost Of 800, or 81
per 100 square feet. Shillingel
pavement at 81 per 100 square
feet is far cheaper when durabill
ty and repa;: bills are taken into
consideration. But property hold

expected to voluntarily use this
class of sidewalk paving yet ;

last week makes the rather start
ling statement that a rice planter
of that parish refused a local offer
Of 1868 per sack for some eight
or nine hundred sacks or rough
rice, and that the planter slipped
it to New Orleans where it sold
for $2.75 pr sack. The Messen
ger wants an explanation. No
thing is easier. The local buyer
took a sample of rice from sack
No 10 and found it very fair and
fully worth his offer, while New
Orleans sampled sack No Gil,
and found only 1915 rice. The
lot was sold by the lowest grade
