AN ENGINE CRUSHES INTO A
WAGON

On Friday afternoon Mr.. S. L. GAIA
way, tenant on Col r. T. Nesbitt's
farm 21S miles from town, sent his
wife to Marietta to get some provisions
and guano, as he did not wish to lose
the time from his work. She was ac-
companied by young man named Ed
Rainey, who drove Col. Nesbitt's mule
to the wagon. After getting their
guano ard provisions at DR.. Springer's,
they started or the return home. Just
as they were about to drive across the
W. & A. r. r. crossing on Powder
Springs street, the north bound passen-
ger train, due at 5:l0 p. m, came in
sight, emerging from the deep cut, I'M
seen by Mrs, Gazaway and young Rain
ey. The occupants of the wagon bare
~ had time to jump out of the vehicle,
before the engine struck the mule and
wagon. The mule was knocked about
ten feet and killed instantly. The wa
gon was turned completely around
one wheel was crushed and the shafts
broken. Mrs, Gazaway had her knee in
jured in jumping and almost had nerv-
Gus prostration over her fright. The
train stopped as quickly as it could, but
too late to avert the accident. Sena-
tor Clay was on the train but got off at
the scene of the accident and ordered n
carriage and had Mrs. Gazaway sent to
her home, A4wagon was also procured
and the provisions sent out also. 1t
was narrow escape for Mrs Gazaway
and young Rainey from death. Senator
Clay assured Mrs. Gazaway that the
railroad would pay all damages imme-
diately.

A BIG BULL MOOSE
Disturbing the Equilibrium of the Good
People of SangerviIle.

Sangerville, Me, May 1S.-The big
bull moose which has been proving
around in this vicinity of late made &
call on some of the slumbering citizens
in this village during Saturday night
and by the size of his tracks, he mus
have weighed half a ton. He gave NJ
warning Of his coming, but left eVi-
dence that would convince the strong
est jury that ever sat on case in Pts
cataquiS county, that he had been here
Fences were knocked down, lawns
through in n way which looked as if 4
cyclone had struck town. Bunches OF
moose hair was found which he left be-
hind, which are now held as souvenirs
by the nimrods for future use.
The moose made his first appearance
late, Friday afternoon, in the field OF
G. W. MorgGn'S near the main tray
eled road from Guiliord to FoXcroft
where he was seen by quite a number
riding by. their appearance attracting
little attention as far rs he was con
cerned; ii was closed time and he knew
it, as he stared them out of counte-
nance.
Some think the forest fires of late in
the upper part of the county drove him
this way. However, there is one thing
certain, SangerVille will need no cur
few for the next few weeks, and the
May basket season will end abruptly.

THE PRESeYTERIANS
Planning for Unusually Great Turnout
at Los Angeles General Assembly.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 1S.-Arrange-
sembly, which will meet here, Thurs
day, for q tWo-Weeks sessions, are
about completed. About 700 commits
sioners are enrolled, one-half of whom
are laymen. A vast army of visitors
will come from east of the Mississippi.
From the city of Pittsburg alone there
will come not less than 400, and all the
cities of the West will send strong del
egations. The attendance promises to
be unusually large and thousands of
visitors who have no connection with
the assembly are enrolled.
Many important measures will come
before the General Assembly. Latest
reports show that of the 240 presbyte-
ries. 220 have voted in favor of creed
revision: consequently the report of the
stated clerk on the overture submitted
by the last General Assembly is al
ready anticipated and the announce
mcnt will probably scarcely occasion 4
ripple on the floor of the assembly.
The first authoritative statement of
the result will come from the moder-
ator, Rev. DR.. Henry Van Dyke, at the
opening session, Thursday morning
The sermon is the regular order at the
retiring moderator's discussion of the
most recent progress of the church in
doctrine and work.

WILL INVESTIGATE.
Department Will See What
TulIoch's Charges Mean.
Postmaster General Payne Does Not
Seem Seriously Disturbed.
Senator Plat Pointedly Tells TulIoch
That He Lies.

Washington, May 1S.-Postmaster
General Payne, today, sent letters to
the comptroller of the treasury, the
auditor for the post office department
and other officials, calling their atten-
ton to statements made by eXCashier
TullOch in his communication of last
Saturday. The letters ask for any eX-
PLANTATION or further information that
might throw light on the subject. The
formal charges of Mr.. TulOch, Mr..
Payne said, have been dissected and
that matter relating to particular
branches of the service referred to the
bureaus having jurisdiction for report.
MIR. Payne said, tonight, that he re
garded the charge against the auditor
and comptroller as the most serious of
the allegations. He said that if,@those
officials allowed improper accounts to
be audited or suppressed, what might
be called pay dirt had been found"
The charges. he said, impugn their good
faith and integrity. Mr.. Payne pointed
out n difference which existed between
charges of irregularities and of actual
violation of law.
A government official, he said, may
buy something which he has no au-
thority to purchase and no authority
to pay for, but the government gets
the use OF the article nevertheless. r.
Irregularities do not necessarily mean
anything unlawful.
He said in this connection that the
charge regarding the disallowance by
the comptroller of between 100000 and
$40, 600 was a charge of irregularity, not
of unlawfulness, and he understood
that practically all of this sum had
been subsequently allowed.
II have nothing to da," said the post
master general, with the personal re-
lations between Mr.. Tulloch and Indi-
ana politicians, nor with his hatred Of
the postmaster of Washington, or 9TH
ers. If any improper act was done by
anyone now in office or by anyone who
is not now in office, so far as it might
reflect on the department we will in
vestigate it,
Mr.. Tulloch as cashier" he says,
did not know what work any set of
clerks was doing; only the postmaster
general, the assistant postmaster gen.
eral or those who had charge of that
part of the work would know. Some of
these allegations that no work was per-
formed are now being investigated. If
anyone had drawn money without do
ing any service we will try to get the
money back from them. We will de-
mand the recovery of the money. The
responsible party is the postmaster of
Washington, who should know whether
they We're doing any work. / suppose
the postmaster involved is the one now
dead. Mr. Willett"
Speaking generally, Mr.. Payne said

against whom Mr.. Tulloch made accu-
sations We're necessarily general in
terms. but now that Tulloch furnishes
something more definite in the way of

HIGHER STILL
Another Exciting Day on the
Cotton Exchange.
Opens in Liverpool and Has Grand
Finale in United States.
Seasons Record at New York in Ad-
vance of Prices.

| New York, May 1S-This was anoth-
er exciting day on the Cotton Elk
change, in fact the scenes surpassed
| those witnessed last week. 1t started
at Liverpool first, because trading
there began some five hours earlier
than our time, and the rise of equiva-
lent to 80 points in the price of spot
cotton in that market and SO to 20 in
futures did not require any extensively
cabled remarks to show what was hap
pening there. 1t was, however, stated
that the followers of the New Orleans
bull clique had flooded the market
earlier in the day with buying orders
and their appearance was enough to
excite the shorts and cause them to
scramble to cover. All records for the
present movement were broken. May
sold as high as 11.6Sc. and July up to
1126c.
After closing at a considerable de-
cline. Saturday, prices started, this
morning, to jump, and before noon July
had crossed lie, selling at 11.05, some
four points higher than last week.
There was but one sale of May cotton
during the first half-hour, a sale of
11.4Oc. as compared with 11.15c., the
closing price of Saturday. September
showed an advance of Nc, a greater
rise than that revealed in either July
or August during the first half-hour. In
the. first hour nearly 100000 bales
changed hands.
July opened at 10000, an advance Of
20 points, halted for a few moments,
shot to 10.9Sc., halted for a few mo-
ments and then on a scramble to cover
jumped to 11.16c.
While transactions in the New York
market did not aggregate as large a to-
tai as the record day of last week, the
market. today, holds the seasons rec
ord in point of advance During the
afternoon. May cotton sold at 11.6S, an
advance of So points. July sold at
11.2Gc., an advance of SIS points, and
August sold at 10.90c, an advance of 45
points.
A feature of the afternoon was the
purchase of a large line of short cotton
in July, during which the entire mar
ket became very excited, with prices
advancing rapidly. One broker had an
order to cover 200 bales of May cot
ton. The price was 11.55c and he start
ed in to get the 200 bales at the best
figures possible. He bid 11.5S, 11.60,
11.62, 11.65, and finally 11.6S before any
cotton was forthcoming. Soon after a
broker had 300 bales of May to sell and
he sold the market down to 11.60 before
diSposing of the cotton.
Not until July touched 11Ac. was
there anything like a reaction, and at
that point heavy selling orders reap
peared that soon brought about re-
action of about 10 points during the
afternoon.
