there is a steep grade which we have
been informed slopes about eight feet in

for trolley cars to come to a full stop
at all crossings. At that point We have

He received a signal by bell from Rose
Vile, about a minute or a minute and a
half before the train came. and so low

down the steep grade, the motorman
lost control and smashed into the gate.
The gate is broken clear off, showing
that it was down The car crashed into
the front and side of the engine of our
train. breaking off the beam and part
of the steam apparatus of the engine.
The side of the cab was also smashed,
injuring our engineer

tensive improvements in way of track
elevation near this northumberland
the work had not reached this crossing
yet-and as a result of this work our en-
gineers are subject to flag at every cross
ing. None of our trains run fast in this
lie ghborhood, This train had stopped at
station just little way off, and this
was an additional reason for going slow.
From all the information we get there
was absolutely no blame 20 be attached
to the engineer and the accident was the
result of no fault of the Lackawanna.
AS far as We can learn the accident
was the direct result of the overcrowding
of that trolley car" said Mr.. Ross. II

hundred and twenty persons upon it."

high school, where the crash had been
heard, and from the windows of which
some had witnessed the accident, came
pupils and teachers to aid in succoring
their companions. A lad who had been
hurled to safety in a snow bank thirty
feet from the crossing arose, brushed the
snow out of his eyes and with a shrek
rushed up the street to a fire box and
turned in an alarm.
Within five minutes as many dead bod

If Kentucky believes in the Cal
houn fee, Beckham will be elected.
This was the largest legal fee ever
paid in the State OF Kentucky, and
the service rendered was what any
clerk In Frankfort was capable of do
ing. We are not advised as to how
much Capt. Calhoun gave to the
Democratic campaign fund, but we
do know that he got 81, 900 at one
time and about s1S, 900 at another for
very little work, and we do know that
it is suspected, and has been publicly
charged, and not denied, that much
of this fee found its way into the
Democratic campaign fund. This is
another of the''shy"ways Beckham has
of looting the State Treasury for the
benefit of his campaign fund, and
judging from the amount Of "boodle'
that we have learned that a certain
county official brought back with him
on his return from a recent trip to
Louisville, we are inclined to the be-
lief that Capt. Calhoun and the Gov
ernor did have some sort Of an ar
rangement whereby a large part Of
the large fee reached the campaign
fund.

WHAT VOTERS MUST DETER
MINE,

1t would be difficult to exaggerate
the issues upon which the people will
pass at the polls next Tuesday. In
the first place, they must determine
whether or not they will practically
set aside the provision of the State
constitution prohibiting second term
for the Governor Immediately follow
ing his first. They must determine
whether or not they will approve the
usurpation of Office for which the
Governor stands.
They must pass upon the Calhoun
fees, two in number, resting upon en-
tirely separate and distinct grounds.
The first is fee of 10 per cent.
awarded to a captain of the Kentucky
militia for collecting the pay OF the
soldiers, due to the soldiers, primarily
by the State, for services rendered
the United States; a just debt as far
as the soldiers are concerned; a debt
for which, under the letters OF the
law, the State was bound; debt for
which the federal government &C
knowledged Its moral obligation and
met 1t. For collecting this debt the
State did not pay its officer, but the
Governor of the State authorized
Capt. Calhoun to retain 10 per cent.
of this money going to the soldiers.
The people must pass upon the
Governors pardon record. They
must approve it if they vote for Gov
Beckham, the Alvey pardon, the
Raleigh pardon, the Weatherford par
don and the Clark release.
The people must express their ap-
proyal of the increase IN taxation, an
increase amounting to 100000 a
year under the present administration,
expended in special fees paid unnec-
essarily to attorneys.
The people must pass upon and ap-
prove or disapprove the conduct of
the insane asylums.
The people must pass upon and sp-
prove the spirit in which the Gov
ernor of the State resents any inspee-
ton of his official record, the efforts
which have been made to conceal
from the public the facts relating to
public business.

THOUSANDS CHEER BELKNAP.
Greatest Gathering of the
Campaign at Columbia.
TOWNDECKED WITHFLAGS
People Of Adair County Turn Out
In full Force to Welcome Re
publican Candidate for
Governor.

Columbia, KY, Oct ~ Never In
the history OF Kentucky did eaudi-
date for Governor make more trlum-
phsl entry into Columbia than did
Col. Morris Belknap Tuesday.
His welcome surpassed anything OF
the kind ever seen In Adair county,
and even his warmest supporters had
not hoped for such an outpouring OF
people. Hours before Col Belknsp
arrived the streets of the town were
filled with an enthusiastic crowd, and
the place presented a holiday appear
ance. The Court House, which
stands In the center of the principle
>qusre, was bedecked with flags and
bunting. the banners ffoated from ev-
cry business house, while the people
Of Adair marched through the streets
waving Gags aud cheering for Belk-
nap.
shortly before the time for the dis
tiuguished visitor to arrive, hundreds
OF prominent citizens of Columbia and
Adair county formed a monster pa
rade and marched out to meet the
guests oil honor. The procession came
upon Col Belknsp and the Hon. E T,
Franks, of Owensboro. several miles
from town and escorted them into the
city where, as soon as the vanguard
of the procession arrived, pandemo-
mum broke loose.
At the hotel an informal reception
was held, but so great was the crowd
which thronged around the Republic
an candidate for governor, that many
who desired to shake his hand wer,
unable to get near him.
After the reception the parade
with Col. Belknap and Mr.. Franks al
its head, started to the public square
There the reception which awaited
the distinguished guests was ever
more enthusiastic than those which
preceded 1t, and as soon as Col. Belk
nap appeared on TIE southeast porti
CO from which he was to speak, I
cheer went up which lasted severa
minutes.
The cheer was but a forerunner o
many others which were to follow, 70
the speakers address was frequently
interrupted with applause from tn,
threats Of from 4, 900 to 5000 enthu
siastic hearers who were unable Il
control their jubilant feelings.
At the conclusion of Col. Belknap'i
speech the Hon. E. T. Franks wa

infer that the two first are already
answered no, and Mr.. Ringo is neither
supporting nor in sympathy with the
ticket of which Mr.. Beckham is the
head. If this be true, can true Beck
ham supporters cast their votes for
him?
We are conversant with and relia-
bly, informed about his action in the
Goebel contest matter and all the re-
naming questions are answered yes,
and no Republican can afford to sup
port him.
As to the Herald's attack on Mr..
Heavrin's personality, we wish to say
that we have known him for several
years and have been intimately asso-
ciated with him for a good portion of
the time and have always found him
to be a true, kind, accommodating
and gentlemanly gentleman of the
highest type. He is,however, too well
known over the district to need our
defense of his personal attainments
and qualifications. His record
as a lawyer is equal to, If not su-
perior,to that Of his opponent, Ringo.
The lronical reference to The Re-
PUBLIoAN,as the ''nicety-nice" HART
FORD REPUBLICAN, under its new
management, is meant for ridicule
and criticism of The REPUBLICANS
editor. We are personally known
only by comparatively few Of our
readers, to those, we have nothing to
say in our defense, and to those who
know us not, you will, perhaps, for
get the idle remarks of the Herald
before you meet us.

These are the words uttered by our
Governor, Mr.. Beckham, at his
Beaver Dam recitation Wednesday.
Can any one, who has not been beset
by partisan Democracy, vote for a
man, who, as Governor, will utter
such vile and slanderous words
against a majority of the people for
whom he is Governor. This utter
ance of Beckham's is direct thrust
at every Republican in the State.
Can any one, who is inclined to Re
publicanism, vote for such a man.
