a large and enthusiastic gathering
of Republicans greeted Senators Dick
and Ravenscroft on last Saturday
evening when they appeared in the
brick hall in the interest of Col. Pearre
for Congress.
1t was the first time since the build
ing has been used as a public hall,
that it was found two small to hold
the crowd. A brass band had been
engaged for the occasion, but few
minutes before the meeting opened
word was received by the committee
that it was impossible to be present.
The disappointment about the music
did not dampen the ardor or check
the enthusiasm of the Republicans.
Those who could not get inside stood
at the windows and doors and showed
by the attention they gave the speak
ers, that they were deeply interested
in the issues at stake in this cam
paign.
Dick and Ravenscroft were in great
shape and caught the crowd from the
very beginning and held it until the
last word was spoken.
The meeting lasted for two hours
and half and was all in all, one of
the best and hottest Republican rail-
lies ever held in District No. f.
Mr.. VIM. A. Ball, who has been a

FOR ROOSEVELT IN 1904
Platt after Conference of New York Repub-
leans Says This is the Program.
(By the Associated Press)


New York, Sept 13-There was a
conference of prominent New York State
Republicans today and at its close Unit
ed StAtes Senator Platt gave out as the
chief result of the meeting this state
ment:
. at was decided to endorse Mr.. Roose-
welt and his administration and as far
as it is in our power to endorse him for
1904"
Senator Platt said that no other sub
iect was discussed at the meeting. He
admitted that there had been some oppo-
sition to the resolution proposing the
endorsement, but the opposition was in
the minority and the final decision was
practically unanimous.
''The endorsement of President Roose-
Welt" said George w. Dunn, Chairman
of the Republican State Committee, was
gone over extensively. 1t was not the
unanimous opinion that it was the only
wise to endorse the administration of
Mr.. Roosevelt, but to endorse him for
1904
Colonel Dunn said that the composition
of the State ticket had not come before
the conference.
Nobody would tell what, if anything
had been decided about the platform. Mr..
Plat and Colonel Dunn said the question
of an antitrust plank was not discuss
ed in any way and Colonel Dunn said the
platform would be discussed at the meet
ing to be held prior to the convention
but that the platform itself will be
framed in convention.

PLANS FOR PARADE
Elaborate Trade Floats and a
Floral Section.
An Informal Meeting of State Fair Officials
Yesterday Visiting Floats win Be
Transported Free,

President j. A, Long, of the State Fair,
and Chief Marshal John l.. Patterson, Of
Roanoke Rapids, were in the city yester-
day, and had an informal consultation
with Secretary Joseph E. Pogue and
Treasurer c. B. benson.
Mr.. Sherwood Higgs and Mr.. Henry
w Miller were present also, and many
valuable suggestions were made as to
the street parade, which is this year to
be a very prominent feature of the fair
Mr.. Miller said he thought it would be
a good idea to have on exhibition several
Pullman cars and dining cars of the
latest model. This suggestion met with
the approval of all present.
Mr.. Higgs will spare no pains to make
the parade a grand success both from
spectacular and financial standpoint
financial because it is believed that
great parade is an important factor in
drawing crowds to fair OF this kind.
1t is propos ed to have the parade com
posed of five sections, Industrial, Mer-
cantilc, Trades, Railroads and Floral.
There will be floats from the different
towns in the State, representing the va
rious industri IS, trades, labor unions,
historical events, etc. A committee will
pass upon these floats before they are
allowed to take part in the parade, so
that none that does not come up to the
standard shall detract from the appear
ance of the whole pageant.
Many towns will send floats, Green's
boro, Durham, High Point Goldsboro,
Rcidsville Charlotte Winston New Bern,
and others. These floats will be trans
ported free of charge, and will be I'M
loaded at this end at the expense of the
State Fair Association.
The floral section of the parade will
be great feature gold medal will
be offered for the most beautifully deco
rated vehicle, and a cash prize for the
second best. These floral parades have
teen tried with verv marked success in
many places. and there is no reason to
suppose it can not be made a striking
part of our State Fair.
The floats will be in charge of a gen
tleman who is an expert in handling
such parades.
There will be plenty of music FOR the
big parade. 1t was suggested yesterday
to have band ahead of each of the five
sections The line will proceed I'D Fay
ettevlle ard HiIlsboro streets into the
Fair grounds, up the midway and around
the race track.
The railroads. Mr.. Miller says, will
surely furnish a sufficient number of cars
to accommodate the crowds, however
large Everything possible will be done
toward facilitating the running of eX-
cursions TO Raleigh during Fair week.

The working agreement has been close

1.-THE combination gre won't of a com
petitive movement of several months ago
The two big roads were mutually inter

hard coal fields as we'll. The Pennsyl-

Bv an understanding the Vanderbilts

TRAIN BREAKS ON GRADE.
A Crash Follows and Three People Bre
Killed
(By the Associated Press.

(By the Associated Press)
Denver, Colo, Sept. 13.-Santa Fe pas
senger train No. sos, known as the news
paper train, which left Denver this
morning at $3.50 bound for Colorado
Springs, Pueblo, st. Louis and Chicago,
collided with a freight train at Struby,
a small station several miles south of
LittIeton. The members of the passenger
train were killed and another perhaps
fatally injured. The dead are:
MACK BARNHART, engineer.
J. A PETTINGILL, fireman.
JOHN RODGERS, fireman.
Seriously injured:
ARCHIE STEWART, engineer
Some of the passengers were badly
shaken up and bruised, but so far as
known none was killed or seriously in
jured.
The freight when ascending a steep
grade on side track at Struby to let
the passenger train pass, parted, and
fifteen or eighteen heavily laden cars
started back toward the approaching
passenger train, which was drawn by
two engines. The engineers of the pas
senger train reversed and tried to back
out of the way of the running cars, but
did. not succeed.
Both passenger engines were thrown
into the ditch and eight cars were piled
upon them. The engineers and firemen
were buried under the wreekage.

AS MUTE AS STONE
And the Governor Equally as
Dumb as Mitchell,
Strike Situation Discussed. Some Of the Com
panies Will Make Desperate Effort to
Start Up Monday.
(By the Associated Pregs.)

Harrisburg, Pa, Sept Ex-Governor
Stone declined today to divulge the re-
suit of his conference with President
Mitchell last night at the executive man
sion. The Governor said the conditions
were such that he did not feel justified in
making a statement, except to repeat
that the strike was discussed with the
best of feeling. M. X. Mullin, of Pitts
burg, who came here with Mr.. Finn to
attend the conference, went East on an
early morning train, and it is presumed
he has gone to New York to meet ]. P.
Morgan and tell him what occurred at
the conference.
District President Nichols is the only
one OF the strike leaders who remained
in Harrisburg after the conference. He
is reticent as the others who were pres
ent, and would say nothing when asked
if he thought the meeting would result
in a settlement of the strike. All the
persons who were present evidently have
determined to make no statement for
fear that they might say something that
would interfere with their plans for set
thing the strike.

Mitchell Refused to Talk.
(By the Associated Press.)

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept. 13.-President
Mitchell went to Scranton this afternoon.
Before his departure he was asked II he
had any statement to make regarding
his conference with Governor Stone early
this morning. He said he had none. The
reticence of the chief officer of the
miners union weighs heavily on the bust
ness and Industrial interests of the
strike region, who were hopeful that the
meeting between the Governor and Presi-
dent Mitchell would result in some plan
for a settlement of the strike. The
silence of Mr.. Mitchell is interpreted to
mean that the Harrisburg conference was
barren of results.
There is more or less activity at all
the colIieries in this region tonight, and
it is said that some of the companies
will make desperate efforts to resume
work at many of the collieries on Mon
day Fifty men were sent to the Conyng-
ham mine of the Delaware and Hudson
Company tonight. The company expects
to start work with a good force of miners
on Monday. The coal operators say the
conference between Governor Stone and
President Mitchell was merely friendly
talk. and that neither party to the con-
ference submitted a proposition. The
operators think the crisis will come next
week, and that a break in the ranks of
the strikers is among the possibilities.
At strike headquarters President
MitchelFs subordinates claim the COM
panies are in no better position to start
their collieries now than they were three
months ago, and that there will be no
break in the ranks of the strikers.
