.SEABOARD AIR LINE
ENGINEER KILLED
A Wild Lumber Car on the Track,
and a Huge Beam Breaks
His Neck.
(Sneclal Dispatch to The Times.

=
RALEIGH, N. c.. July 15.-Engineer
James Watson. of this hcity, was killed
about 2:3O O. clock this morning in an ac-
cident on the Seaboard AIR Line about
a mile north OF, J Johnson Street station,
while running No. 81 northbound Sea
board Air Line train.
Investigation indicates that car
load of lumber was allowed to run out
Of the Seaboard yards at Johnson Street
station. There is a down grade north
from the station for about three or four
miles and in shifting cars this one was,
through somebody's carelessness, allowed
to roll out of the yard on it's clandestine
death-dealing mission. A beam OF lum-
Der broke through the cab window and
struck the engineer breaking his neck
The damage done to the engine was con-
siderable.

NORFOLK, VA, July 15-The Sea-
board Air Line morning express, north
bound, collided this morning at an early
hour, -four miles north of Raleigh, with
lumber fiat car.
The lumber car was runaway, and
having broke loose from restraint dt,
was plunging down the slight grade at
a great momentunlc It was dark and
the engineer of the northbound express
did not see the car untll was upon
him and too late to back his train in a
race against the wild car.
He did everything within human power,
however, to stop the train and get his
passengers out of danger, and his hero
ism cost him his life. Among his breth-
rem of the throttle Watson was esteemed
as brave and efficient man, nd his
final dare to death proved their esti-
mate correct. The passengers on the
train were not injured, and the track
was passable within five hours. The
fireman jumped and saved himself. but
the engineer, who stuck to his post, was
killed outright. In the darkness the
lumber car was not missed from the
freight to which it was attached, and
for the same reason the engineer of the
passenger train could not see its ap-
proach.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE officials
here who are seeking to secure the ex-
tradition from Canada to this country
Of Greene and Gaynor are now feeling
more confidence in the SUCCESS Of. their
efforts. The reason for their optimism
is a change In the method of procedure,
they having framed their application for
the extradition of the men precisely IN
accordance with the language Of the ex-
tradition treaty.
Under the new application the court
will be required to decide whether or not
a prima facie case of receiving stolen
moneys has been made out against Cay
nor and Greene. If the men are surren-
5dered under extradition proceedings the
Georgia courts will be obliged to decide

When the service was first inaugurated
some of the New England and Southern
States did not take kindly to the PROPOSE
ton. There was an influence against the
innovation. This caused by fourth
class postmasters and star route contract
ors. This class of men desired TO retain their
positions. They saw in the rural free deliv
cry a serious competitor. Inch by inch,
however. the rural free delivery service
gained Roadway, until now ii is sought for
vigorously by the States that heretofore
were slow in accepting it's benefit.
The delivery of mails by rural carriers is
extended in response to petitions presented
by the people desiring the service. 1t is
required that the routes shall be from
twenty to twenty-five miles in length, so
laid out that the carrier will not have TO
traverse the same road on his return as on
his outward trip. and so adjusted that at
least 100 families shall be included in the
service.
The establishment of rural free delivery
at any postOffice does not change in any
particular the rate of postage or any class
of mail matter received or delivered from
that office. except that the one-cent rate
on drop letters does not apply when such
letters are collected or delivered by rural
carriers. Drop letters so collected must be
prepaid at the rate of two cents for each
ounce fraction thereof.
Rural carriers are now appointed from
civil-service lists, certified to by the cen
rier service.
The special agent who investigates the de-
STABILITY of the route petitioned for is in
Structed also TO examine the carriers who
apply for positions. and to forward the re-
suit of his examination, under seal, to the
central board. The form of examination
is very simple, designed only to show that
the applicant is able to read and write
correctly; that he has local knowledge of
the territory TO be served; that he pos
sesses the confidence of the community
and that he owns or can procure a suitable
horse and vehicle for the service.
The pay fer rural carriers is fixed by
law at 5000 per annum for a full route of
from twenty to twenty-five miles Gnclud-
ing horse hire but not including tolls and
ment quarterly For shorter routes, when
established, the pay is graded in like pro-
portion
The purpose of rural free delivery is not
to grant a suburban delivery TO cities and
towns now having free delivery service
nor to establish free delivery in villages
Its object is TO give postal facilities TO
those who have none; to carry the mails to
remote communities, the residents of which
nave TO travel from two to twelve miles TO
receive their letters and papers.
1t is unnecessary for those who desire
TO take advantage of the new delivery to
put up at their own cost, at convenient
places on the roads to be traversed, locked
metal boxes of such description as the
postmaster general may approve or desig-
nate. These boxes must be erected on posts
at such distance from the ground that they
can be readily opened and examined by
the carrier without alghting from his We
