STRUCK BY A TRAIN.

The fast express train on the
Southern Railway that left this city
about ten o'clock Saturday night ran into
a funeral party six miles north of Con-
cord, N. c., yesterday morning at s
o'clock. -Four persons we're killed. All
those killed occupied positions on the
farm wagon in which the body of Mrs.
Kate Lewis was being taken to a county
graveyard about three miles from where
the accident took place The wagon was
drawn by pair of young mules not thor
oughly broken, and it is the contention
of the engineer and fireman that the ami
mails became unmanageable and ran di-
rectly in front of the locomotive. The
pilot of the engine struck the wagon on
the front wheel and the force Of the col
lision threw the occupants in the air.
Mrs. Lula Townsend one of the party
killed, was thrown 25 feet, her body fall
ing on the locomotive cab. The remains
of Mrs. Lewis, whose body was in the
farm wagon, were ground beneath the
wheels of the engine. The head of the
corpse was severed from the body and both
limbs were found some distance from the
trunk. The pilot of the engine was COW
cred with the blood of the victims. Por-
tions of human flesh were still to be seen
on the pilot when the train reached Char
lotte. The engineer in charge Of the
train was overcome by the horrible disas-
ter. 1t was clearly no fault of his, for
the scene of the accident is a straight
stretch of track of nearly three miles.
The engineer saw the vehicles and, of
course, thought the occupants heard the
approaching train.

Chicago, H., Nov. 2.-Deprived of
his power to speak by piece of dough-
nut which had lodged in his windpipe,
Frank Hayden was believed to be insane,

in drugstore. Tracheotomy had been
performed on Hayden's throat three years
ago, and when he tried to eat without the

MONDAY EVENING. NOV. 2, 1908.
SEVEN GovERNoRs, together wit

SEVEN GOVERNORS, together with
State officers, and minor officials in four
other States will be chosen at the polls
tomorrow. -Four members of Congress
will also be elected to fill existing
vacancies. National interest and per-
haps national significance also attaches
TO the result on the same day In New
York city, where the contest for Mayor
and city officials is between the Tam
many democracy and the fusion forces,
made up of republicans and independ-
emf democrats. The fate of two United
States Senators is also directly involved
in the result Of tomorrow's elections
Senators McComas of Maryland and
Hanna of Ohio. OF the seven States
which will elect Governors this fall
four at present have democratic execu-
tiyes-Nlaryland, Kentucky, Rhode
Island and Mississippi-and in three
Iowa. Massachusetts, and Ohio the
Governors are republicans. 1t Is not
unlikely that each will continue It's
present political complexion, though
the democrats have a fighting chance in
Massachusetts,. In Virginia the election
will he for one-half the members of the
State Senate and all the members OF the
House, together with the county officers
throughout the State. The campaign IN
Virginia, with the exception OF a lew
counties, has been the tamest for many
wears. and comparatively little interest
has been manifested. The democrats
will control the legislature by a large
majority, and but few of the counties
will elect republican officers. In this
city and throughout this Senatorial dis
trict there has been practically no
campaign. So far as known not a
speech has been made, but little canvas
sing has been done, and it is safe t.. say
that many voters do not know the names
of the candidates who are in the field.
This is under the new election regime;
but whether this will be best for the
State or the democratic party remains
to be seen.

FIRE IN THE VATICAN.-Fire broke
out at $50 O'Clock last night in that por-
ton of the Vatican in Rome containing
the Hall of Inscriptions, where the Pope
gives his audiences aud which is adjacent
to the famous pinacotOca, or gallery OF
pictures. The alarm caused much con-
fusion and excitement in the Vatican.
Strenuous efforts were made to control
the flames and the fremen of Rome were
called to lend their help. At Ills the
fire was under control. No lives were
lost. No idea of the loss can yet be OBJ
tanned. The Pope came to the scene
and remained until the arrangements to
fight the fire were completed.

Dowie's Hosts.

New York, Nov. 2.-Alexander
Dowie's "Hosp started from this city
for Zion city today. Pickpockets
we're numerous in the crowd that had
assembled at the station TO see the
Dowieites off and some of the pockets OF
the "Host" were rihed. Two men
were arrested. The mission of the
Zionists to this city was fat failure.
Not more than dozen New Workers
have become converted. Financially
the invasion cost Dowie and his
"Host," a pile of money. Dowie, a
number of his church officers and few
members of his choir will remain here

TWENTY FIVE PERSONS PERISH.

i w EN- Il II EtsoONo EhlcIi'
Twenty-one men, three women and a
ten-months' old babe were burned to
death or sufiocated in fire that started
early Yesterday morning in the House
of All Nations, a five-stOry tenemen
house at No. 426 Eleventh avenue, New
York, and which the police and coroner
believe to have been of incendiary
origin.
Some of the peculiar features of the
disaster, in addition to the startling loss
of life, are that the fire was practically
extinguished in 20 minutes, that the
police could learn of but one person
being injured, other than those who lost
their lives, and that the property loss
was only 1000.
The dead are mostly Italians.
In several apartments in the tenement
Hallowe' en- parties werein progress, and
the guests at these added greatly to the
number of persons in the house and
made the crush and jam to escape more
than it ordinarily would have been.
Although plendfully provided with fire
escapes front and rear, escape here was
cut off a few minutes after the fire
started by the bodies of the dead be-
coming wedged in the openings leading
to the ladders. The fire had been burn
ing for some minutes before is was dis
covered. 1t had started in the base
ment and, rushing upward, had attacked
the stairway leading to the apartments.
In short space of time the flames had
so enveloped the stairway that egress
from the building by it was impossible.
The house from the third to the fifth
floors was entirely destroyed.
At.the windows, front and rear, bodies
of men and women we're jammed, show
ing that desperate struggle to get free
resulted in the complete choking OF
these exits to the fire escapes and had
been the cause of number of the in
mates being suhocated. Lying on a
bed alongside window at the rear of
the fourth floor the fremen found the
bodies of five men. Each had clutched
the one next to him in an endeaver to
push him away in order to get to the
fire escape outside. The features Of the
men were distorted, some with rage,
others with agony, and in two instances
the men had gripped each other so hard
that blood had been drawn and had run
over their hands. Life nets played a
prominent part in the work of rescue.
The fremen dropped men and women,
dead and alive, from one floor to another
and finally the men standing on ladders
on the first floor let them fall into nets
held by policemen and firemen in the
street. The building was known as
"The House of All Nations" because
of the different nationalities of its
tenants.

YESTERDAY throughout this section
of the State was an ideal Indian summer
day. The earth was enveloped in a
dreamy haze, the sun sent its warm rays
from the skies and the air was deliciously
soft and balmy, while the red and golden
tints of the foliage added to the beauty
of the day. This, to many, is the most
delightful season of the year, and its
continuance is most desirable, as at its
end stern winter will rule the skies, and
its chilly blasts are sure to bring discom-
fort, if not actual suffering, to many.

TRAIN DERAILED. -NOrthbOund
Kanawha and Michigan Railroad, train
No. 4, which left Charleston, w. Va,
ut 7;15 a. M, yesterday, was derailed
near Buffalo Greek, between Red House
and Buffalo, yesterday morning at about
9 o'clock. The trestle over Buffalo
Creek had burned out underneath, and
when the train got on it commenced to
give way. The trestle is only two rail
lengths, and the train, going 40 miles

collapsed, but the engine left the track

also turned over and the two other cars
left the track. The track was torn up

together, most of them, however, but
slightly. This is the first wreck of any
importance on the Kanawha and Michi-
gan for lS years.

OLD SENATOR HOAR cannot overcome
his hatred for the South, and even in
his state elections delights to wave the
bloody shirt, though the war has been
over for nearly forty years. In his
speech in Worcester, Mass, Friday night
he asked, "Did the democratic party
in its whole career ever redress a griev-
ance? 1t has created a good many. 1t
has defended a good many. 1t defended
slavery. 1t created the civil war;" All
of which shows that the Massachusetts
republicans must have shaky platform
to stand upon and are compelled to APP
peal to sectional hate to win votes.

Saturdays turnout was undoubtedly
