THE NEWSPAPERS in various parts oil
the country are severe in their denuncia-
tions If the motorman who ran down
the tallv-ho containing President Roose-
welt and his party yesterday. This in
dividual, it seems, presumed on MS
right of way by virtue of the fact that he
was running an electric train, and, like
many others clothed in little brief au-
thoritv, imagined everybody and every
thing must get out of his path. The
driver of the tally-ho assumed risk IN
attempting to cross the track in front OF
the train and should have stopped and
not have placed lives in jeopardy. Inc
terrible result of the obduracy Of the
motorman and the temerity of the driver
of the tally-ho should prove an eiiectual
lesson to all people who are stlcKlers
over matters where no great primer
ples are involved as well as those who
thoughtlessly risk their own and other
peoples lives The world is full OF
such characters and terrible warnings
as that of yesterday should be Needed
by them. The class of people repre-
scented by the ill-starred driver of the
Presidents tally-ho presume too much
and take too many risks. People whose
pleasure or business take them north OF
this city often witness scenes enacted by
thoughtless people who take chances IN
crossing tracks in front of approaching
trains. Pedestrians and drivers of We
hicles can stop at the shortest notice, but
it is not always in the power of an en-
gineer to bring his train to a sudden
holt

TIE COAL STRIKE.

Philadelphia, Sept, 4. Public interest
in the hoped for settlement of the coal
strike is focused today on the republican
machine of Philadelphia. For reasons
political and without pretence of
philanthropy, the State committee at the
instance Of Senator Quay, yesterday
placed itself on record as opposed to a
further prolongation of the disastrous
struggle. This action followed Presi-
dent Baer's reiteration to Senators Quay
and Penrose of his famous nothing to
arbitrate" doctrine and the action of the
committee was in effect the taking
up of the gauntlet thrown down
by the coal operators to the reigning
political dynasty in Pennsylvania.
While President Baer's statement to the
public is regarded as forceful and one
requiring an answer from President
Mitchell, of the mine workers, there
are many who believe that the acuteness
Of the political situation in Pennsylvania
will prompt Senator Quay to make a
further and more radical step To secure a
settlement. Indications are multiplying
that point to call for an extra session
of the legislature in thevery near future.
Senator Quay is not expected to act
further in the matter until the strikers
through President Mitchell, have taken
action concerning President Baer's
statement.

democrat who has in two great cam
paigns brilliantly led us against the re-

4 FRAIL WOMAN HER VICTIM.-The
Youngest daughter of Captain Frank
Smith, Miss Mary, aged 20, was severely
beaten at her home, at Bluegrass, Tenn,
Tuesday afternoon by Mrs. w. ID. Hud-
gings.. Mr.. Hudgings standing near wit
Messing the affsir, which was the outcome
of bitter of feelings engendered by the
recent election, which is now being con-
tested in courts on the ground of whole
sale fraud. Captain Smith, who Tor
many years was state superintendent OF
education for Tennessee, took a promi-
ncnt part in the election, with other
members of his family, his son-in-law,
James l.. Allison, being elected to
a county Office. Captain Smith
served as officer of tn, election in his
home district. Miss Smith conducts a
store and Mrs. Hudgings who is a large
woman, walked into the store and beat
and struck her frail opponent, leaving
her in helpless condition. Her father
brought her to Knoxville and put her
under medical treatment. She is
severely bruised and is very weak.
Captain Smith states that the feel
ing against his family as the
result of the election was responsible for
the attack. He has consulted lawyers
and will prosecute his daughters as
sailant. Bad feeling exists between
the Smith and Hudpings families, and
further trouble is not improbable.

day by day. The county has been pretty thoroughly canvassed by both sides and each expresses a reasonable confidence in the result of the pri- maries. The fight has practically mar. rowed down to the town and is being narrowed down to wards. It is claimed that the south side will be almost if not quite solid for Shannon and that he will get two wards in the city. beside a sprinkling from the western end pf the county, so that he will have a safe ma jority in the convention.
 It is claimed on the other hand that the city will go solid for Wilson or that Shannon at the most can not secure more than one ward and that his sup port from the west and the north will be trifling.
 There will be 132 votes in the con- vention and forty-five of them will come from Phoenix. There are about thirty votes on the south side, that is, in the neighborhoods of Tempe. Mesa. Lehi and Alma. The rest are scat tered throughout the county in pre- cincts having a vote apiece. some of them two and only one of them, Os- born, having as many as three.
