DEPLORES CRAIG'S DEATH.

Eye witnesses say the President was
calm and collected, and deplored the
death of Craig. "He was the most faith
full man / ever knew said he. MY
children fairly w%orshipped him"
When Craig saw the impending danger
and that a collision could not be avertod
he was heard to say:
"Oh, my God" and then he was hurled
through the air and fell under the car
wheels. When the President got out of
the wreck he asked the nlotor1nan, WHY
were YOU running your car like that?'
which brought only the response, Be
cause I had the right Of way"
The President said that when he saw
tho car coming at such terrific speed he
felt that all in the carriage would surely
be killed.
According to another story the Presi-
dent was stunned for but a second and
springing to his feet walked back fifteen
Yards where the trolley had stopped and
told the mOtorman that unless the car
had gottea beyond his control. which did
not seem possible, in view of the way
it had stopped. he had committed an act
of criminal recklessneSs which had re-
suited in the death of at least one man.
Officials Of the road deny that the
motorman was instructed to run through
without stopping and say the car was
not running at a high rate OF speed.

car WAS not running over eight miles an
hour: he received no warning TO sion

Governor Crane waving their hands to
come to a standstill. According TO Mad
Gems story, there was plenty of room
Tor the Presidents carriage to have

track and he would have had plenty OF
time to have passed the Presidents ca r.
liage before the turn was made to the
cast side of the road.
He said that the leading horses were
turned short across the track. He could
not tell Just how the car struck the car

ATLANTA'S SAD TRAGEDY.
Little boy Takes Poison at His by
ing Mothers Bedside and Father
Tries to XIII Himself.

Atlanta. Ga. Jan. 19.-While al his
dying mothers side. Thomas Vernon
Livingston. the 4-yesr-old son Of John
D. Livingston. swallowed a poisonous
disinfectsnt Saturday al s O'Clock and
died an hour later. Hurrying from the
bedside Of his dying wife. the dis
tracted father found his little boy cold
in death and. crazed with grief az the
double blow Of bereavement. he tried
to Kill himself to end his troubles.
The mother is at deaths door and
viii probably die to-day; the child IS
shrOuded for the grave. and the father
is raving in the delirium Of temporary
insanity. Livingston is an engineer on
the Atlanta and West Point Railroad.
His wife is dying with consumption
The little fellow was brought from his
grandparents home TO bid his dying
mother goodbye. Near the bedside
was a disinfectant containing arsenic
and bichlOride Of mercury. In some
way the child got hold Of the saucer
Of poison and swallowed a portion If
it. The attention Of the grief-stricken
family was riveted at the bedside and
the act was unnoticed. The boy left
the house with his aunt, Mrs. Rast,
and during the walk home gave no
evidence Of being i'll. After reaching
home and while sitting in his aunts
lap. he suddenly exclaimed:
"Aunty, I am so sick"
This was evidently the case and ply
sicians were summoned. They did
what they could but the poison had
had too long to take effect and in an
hour the little fellow had preceded his
mother into the great beyond.
The double bereavement, coming as
it did. when his heart was already
bowed down by deepest grief, was too
much for the fathers overtaxed nerves
and he tried to seek solace in death.
He first seized the bottle of poison.
which had been brought from his home
by the physician, and when that was
taken from him he snatched up pistol
and but for friends who disarmed him
his life. too, might have had tragic
end. His frantic grief was soothed
with opiates administered by his physi-
clan. 1t is feared the shock may yet
prove fatal
The entire family were nearly crazed
by the tragedy coming at such time
and in such a way. Knowing the
mother was passing away, the boy had
become dear to every member of the
household.

sUWANEE SPRING.

At Camden. n. J., they were discuss
ing the death of Hon. William j..
Sewell. United States Senator from
New Jersey, when DIR. Taylor, the
family physician, in speaking of the
senator's death this afternoon, said:
He would have probably lived many
years with diabetes had he not gone
abroad, but Carlsbad had always
helped him before, and it was there
that he went for relief again. It was
there that he contracted the pneu-
monia trouble, and this, with the dia-
betes he already had, resulted in a
complication that medical skill proved
unable to cope with"
Thereupon DR.. w. H. Morse, the
American director of the Bureau of
Materia Medica, said:
THAT meets my argument for SUI
vance Springs. I published a good
word for them five years ago, and
continue to maintain that in every
way the water is the equal of Carlsbad
or any other. The Springs are easy Of
access, and the psychic influences of
change of scenery and climate are
wonderful. There are no chill winds to
cause pneumonia, and no malaria. My
advice is to send all patients with kid
ney troubles to Suwanee Springs. and
let Carlsbad take care of itself. Springs
equal in every way to the most aristo-
cratic in Europe. need our apprecia-
ton, and they are getting it."
