Street Car Accident.

Des Moines, Iowa, Nov. PA
broken brake on Sixth avenue car
caused the worst street accident in the
history of the city, early this morning.
The car was starting down steep hill
half a mile long. and within two blocks
was running with terrific momentum.
At the foot of the hill, while running
probably so miles an hour, it crashed
into another car. Both cars were filled
with passengers. That all were not
killed is miraculous. Both cars were
demolished. Six persons were more or
less injured. A score of persons saved
their lives by jumping, although they
sustained painful contusions in the fall.

FOUR MILE RUN NOTES.


The antique building which was
erected on the south side of Four Mile
Run, near the electric cars, on the east,
attracts the attention of the passer by on
the railroad owing to the ante-colonial
style of the building. Preparations are
being made to build another edifce OF
more pretentious proportions on the
west side of the track, where gentlemen
of leisure can enjoy the country air and
watch the ripple of the waves as they
lave the shore of Four Mile Run. The
late fires have compelled economy in
this kind of buildings, so the architect
ural style may not be as elaborate as the
esthetic would like, which, however, does
not seem to interfere with business. 'Biz
is Biz"
Mr.. George Calvert has made lease
to a Mr.. THRILLER, French garden
ener, for five years of the Swan estate.
Mr.. THRILLER is a scientific gardener, and
no doubt will greatly improve this hand
some property.
Four Mile Run nearly 20 years ago
placed German in nomination for the
presidency. Who can tell that, from this
modest beginning. Four Mile Run may
yet have the honor of having named
and seen elected a President?

A coLoRED MAN who killed a white
man in a Rosslyn saloon in October last
was acquitted in the County Court yes
terday. The evidence was of nature
which convinced the jury that the kill
ing of the white man was an act COM
mitted in self-defense. This unfortunate
occurrence is an object-lesson to all white
men who drink at the same bar along
side of negroes. The latter never re-
spect members of the white race who
put themselves on such an equality, and
occasionally some terrible scene is en-
acted in these unnatural assemblages
which should be needed as a solemn
warning. When white spirits and black
mingle in bar-room and liquor fires
the brain, overt acts may be looked for.

AS RECENTLY stated the merger OF
Chicago's beef packing firms have been
indefinitely postponed. The stock tick
ers in La Sale street offices gave. out the
following information yesterday: "The
beef combine has been dropped indefi-
nitely." Tight money, an uncertain
condition of affairs in Wall street, anC
an underwriting syndicate dubious o
results, are given as the cause of the
postponemeut. There are other reasons,
however, the chief of which is the notice
served in an unofficial way from the
White House that the beef merger would
certainly be attacked by members OF
Congress the moment it was launched.
The formation of half billion dollar
trust just on the eve of the opening of a
Congress which, it is widely advertised,
the President will request to pass meas
ures to regulate such monopolies, would,
indeed, look like waving red flag in a
bulP face.

Forced Poison in woman's Mouth.

indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 2;-Mrs.
Ida Ellsworth, a servant employed at
the home of George A. Clifford, south
Ritter avenue, was assaulted in a shed in
the rear of the residence about six O. clock
today and poison forced down her throat
bv a white man, who had his hands and
face blackened. She was rendered UNI
conscious. Many elements of mystery
surround the case, which the police are
trying to solve. They are working on
the supposition that the man is the hus-
hand of the woman. Her screams were
heard by Clifford, who ran to the shed aud
found the door barred. He threw his
weight against it and it flew open and
he saw the woman lying on the fioor.
The back door to the shed stood open
and the man was gone. There was
every evidence of a desperate struggle.

THE announcement of the "rebuke'
administered by the President to the
'lily white republicans of the South
for their efforts to build up respectable
party by ignoring the negroes, has been
received with pleasure and amusement
by the democrats of this section. With
but comparatively few exceptions the
republican party in the South is com
posed of the few white oficeholders; q
few more white ofIice-seekers; a sprink-
ling of former disgruntled democrats
those chiefly led astray by the spirit of
commercialism-and practically all the
negroes. The task of making this party
respectable with the negro left out,
has heretofore daunted the most cour-
ageous of its leaders but now that the
President says they must be left in has
completely uonpulssed these leaders, and
they are at their wits end, for
they know full well that with the Presi-
dents backing the negros will give them
more trouble than they have done for
many years. In the meantime the
democrats can rest complacently, know
ing that so long as the negroes constitute
the vast majority OF the republican
party, that party can never win in the
South

renee Murphy, treasurer of the Journey
men Stonecutters' Association of New

ed last night at a meeting Of the union

association say an investigation has
shown that 1927, 900 of the unions funds
are missing. 1t is also reported that
others will be brought into the case with
Murphy. Murphy walked into the
meeting at about p. M, and was rec

THURSDAY EVENING. NOV. 81, 1902

For WAYS that are dark and tricks
that are vain the heather Chinee sis
not in it, with modern trusts and other
organizations that are fattening on the
people of this country. We were told a
few DAYS ago that certain railroad com
panies, iron mills, &C., had voluntarily
increased the wages of their operatives,
the reason given being that these organ
izations wanted their employees to share
in the increased prosperity ofthe country.
The real reason new seems to have been
an anticipation that the affairs of these
monopolies would be investigated BY
Congress. They would then attempt tc
prove before a committee that by virtue
of the present tariff they were placed IN
a position to increase the pay of those
working for them. But, after all, the
experiment is cheap so far as the com
panies are concerned, as the following
will show, the people eventually being
compelled to pay the increase. The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company an
nounces an increase of one-haif Of one
cent a bushel on lake and rail gran
rates from Erie, Pa, to 60 into effec'
January /, and the Michigan Contra
yesterday filed with the Interstate Com
merce Commission new freight tarli
schedule between New York and Chi
cago in which the tariff on provisions
raised from % cents to 80 cents per lO'
pounds, and on dressed meat both TO
domestic use and export, from 40 to Al
cents.

For the protection of sheep and other
stock in Virginia.

the terms of judges of the twenty-four
circuits. The bill will pass tomorrow
1t has already been settled by the allot-
ment of the terms of the judges.
The appointment of members of the
boards of the various colleges in the
Estate may be taken out of the hands
of the Governor. A bill is to be
introduced in the legislature in few
days placing these appointments in the
hands, of the Court of Appeals. Under
the provision of the new constitution
these boards practically have the control
of the makeup of the State Board of Ed
ucation. This latter body is to be COM
posed largely of members of the faculties
of the State colleges and the University
