10 Senator Carmack's mind the surest
plan of solving the negro question as it
affects the white race, both socially and
politically lies in the negro's elimina-
ton from politics. Should the fifteenth

treating with the negro would be left to
the states.'

OBITUARY..


Mr.. William G. Jeffords, one of the
old and among the best known citi-
zens of Charleston, died at his home
in that city last Saturday as the result
of a stroke of paralysis that came
upon him earlier in the day. He was
IS years old, a Charlestonian by birth,
and prominently identified with the
city and its interests for more than
half a century. He is survived by six
children, one of whom, Mr.. Arthur |.
Jeffords, is a resident of Savannah.
The funeral took place in Charleston
Monday, and was of a character in
keeping with the prominent place that
Mr.. Jeffords had occupied.
The News and Courier says of him:
Mr.. Jeffords was endowed with great
energy and was capable OF much work
He had a remarkable memory, was
fond of reatng and devoted his spare
moments to books. He gathered a
library of valuable volumns OF the most
celebrated English classics, and being
good conservationalist, he could al
ways illustrate his subject with an apt
quotation from one of his favorite au-
thors. Mr.. Jeffords was by nature of
a genial and jovial disposition, and
Endorsed Colley Cibber in THIS thought:
That follies, without the reproach of
guilt upon them, are not inconsistent
with happiness, and when years no
more of active life retain. IT'S youth
renewed to laugh 'em over again with
these thoughts as a part of his nature
and being somewhat gifted as a racon-
teur, the recollection of some of his
stories will recall many pleasant mem
cries to his friends. He has performed
lifes duties we'll His life work is
ended. 'Acti labores lucunde.'"

The grewsome details of the wreck
were gone over by witnesses before the
coroner's jury, which assembled here
late this afternoon. Before taking the
evidence the jury went to the impro-
vised morgue, where fourteen charred
bodies are awaiting Identification.
They are in such condition that the
identity of many may never be estab-
lished.
The bodies of a man and woman
which were found under a burned
sleeping ear, were identified to-day as
Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene p. Willard of
San Francisco. The claim of identi-
fication was based upon a pocketknife
found on the dead mans body, bearing
the name of Willard. The remains Of
these two are the only ones out of
those still unidentified that bear a :e-
semblance to the human form.
The taking of evidence began late
this afternoon. Conductor Parker re-
lated in detail stopping at Wallis Sta
ton for orders, and that he was given
one order by Operator Clough, the one
which instructed him to meet and pass
the freight train at Wilmot. He says
positively that he did not receive the
order relative to meeting the east
bound passenger No. s.
Operator Clough, who had been sum-
moned by the jury, did not appear, and
officers were sent out to look for him.
In the meantime the jury adjourned
until tomorrow. 1t was said tonight
Clough had been located and will APP
pear tomorrow.
Superintendent Stoufel says 1t now
seems that the responsibility rests
upon a question of Veracity between
Conductor Parker and Operator
Clough. Clough said to-day that Park
er came into his Office at Wallis and
took the order and read it, took his
copies and went out. AS he was leav-
ing Clough claims he called out.
Parker, you have left one of your
orders on the counter"

Terrible Wreck.

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 29.-Lynn
Helm, an attorney of this city, and
his wife, who were passengers on the
Sunset Limited, which was wrecked
near Walls, Ariz., yesterday, arrived
here to-day. Mr.. and Mrs. Helm were
asleep in the rear Pullman car of
their train, and escaped without in
jury. He attributes the escape of the
two Pullman cars of the west-bound
train to the nerve of Engineer Brucel,
who stuck to his engine and set the
air-brakes. Mr.. Helm says:
There were no groanS from the
twenty or more victims buried in the
burning mass. All must have been
killed instantly The flames were so
fierce that those who were not killed
instantly by the shock must have per-
ished within a minute or two from the
intense heat. The crash must have
signalled the death of all. and there
fore complete destruction of cars and
inmates mercifully saved the victims
from the tortures of the flames.

search the wreck for passengers, the
heat of the flames prevented this The

things he said:
mo one presumes to say that exist

no one dare insure against their being
made worse. When the present tariff

Washington, Jan. 29.-Gen. John NJ.
Wilson, vice president of the National
Red Cross Society, presented to Con-
gress to-day a memorial regarding that
organization, especially with reference
to certain differences which have aris-

affairs.
Included in the papers submitted
with the memorial is a letter from
Secretary Cortelyou. addressed to Miss
Clara Barton, president of the Red
Cross Society, in which he says that
according to a copy of the bylaws
submitted by the association, the Pres
ident and his cabinet are constituted a.
board of consultation of the American
Red Cross. Mr.. Cortelyou says it is
impossible for the President and cabi-
net to serve in such capacity, and asks
that public announcement be made of
that fact.
Complaint is made in a memorial
sent to President Roosevelt of the
manner in which the organization was
placed in the hands of one person, and
of the management of the finances of
the association. Legislation is asked
to relieve this condition.

PRODUCTION,
The man was a stranger and went
away without giving his name. He
offered no resentment.
Mrs. Kessler had been to visit her
sister, Mrs. NJ. Kessler, who lives
above the New York Store" She
had just come down the steps when,
as she claims, she was accosted by a
man whom she did not know, thus:
Wont you walk up the street,"
Mrs. Kessler then gave the man a
piece of her mind, while he passed
on and went into MERGERS jewelry
story. Mrs. Kessler, in the mean
time, became more indignant, as she
thought of the matter. She followed
the stranger into the store and began
to slap him. The lady who was be-
hind the counter said: There were
six slaps so loud that they could be
heard across the street. He turned one
side, and Mrs. Kessler then hit him
on the other"
He said, whats the matter?"
Mrs. Kessler said: you know what's
the matter"
She then began to rain her blows. 1t
is thought that the stranger was
slightly intoxicated. just enough to be
too social. He said that he did not
say anything to Mrs. Kessler. and that
he was just looking up the stairs, try
