Will Carr, Colored, Killed by
Santa Fe Train.
BODY HORRIBLY MANGLED
Supposed That He Fell from
Rods to Track
BODY HORRIBLY MANGLED

VIII Carr, a colored man, and gam
bier of this city, was killed by north
bound Santa Fe train late Thursday
night. about one mile south OF Sedg-
wick. Until brought to this city yester-
day evening by Coroner McCollister and
viewed by several negroes in this city
his identity was unknown, as there was
nothing on the body by which it could
be identified However, it was absolute
ly identified as the body OF VIII Carr
in Bleitz undertaking parlors by col
ored man who was well acquainted with
the dead man.
The body was first discovered by little
boy living at Sedgwick about o'clock
yesterday morning. Upon finding it he
Immediately returned to town and noti-
fed parties, who hurried TO the spot.
The first indications of an accident were
found about half a mile from Sedgwick
in the form OF pieces Of clothing, clots
of blod and flesh and part of one
shoe. They were horror stricken and
fastened 20 find the body and remove
i
About half a mile from the point where
the first evidences of the accident were
found the party came to the sickening
sight of the mangled body of the negro.
The head was totally severed from the
body and the face appeared to have been
scraped off by some rough surface. pos
sibly from dragging over the cinders.
Both arms were cut off, one near the
shoulder and one at the wrist. The legs
were both severed just above the knees.
while the abdomen was torn open and
the contents were strewn along the track
for yards. The sight was so sickening
that the searching party did nothing
more than TO remove it from between
the rails.
The theory advanced by the trainmen
is that arr was stealing a ride and
had secreted himself beneath one of the
cars on the rods. From the point where
the body struck the track something APP
pears to have dragged and it is sup
posed that some part of the car on which
he was riding broke and hurled him
beneath the wheels. The trainmen did
not know tat ne was on the train and
knew nothing of the accident until no
tilted yesterday. The tram on which
Carr was killed was the Santa Fe which
leaves this city ar 1920 p. m. Carr was
seen in the city Thursday evening, and
those who saw him state that he was
under the influence of liquor. 1t is sup

hold on the rods because of his condi-

In explanation Of the only vote cast
in the Illinois state senate against the
resolution calling on congress to sum
mon a national constitutional conven-
ton to propose an amendment to the
federal constitution providing for the
election of United States senators by
direct vote of the people, the following
statement was offered:
I am opposed to the principle contained
in this resolution. because It takes away
the guaranty OF a conservative, careful
policy in the congress OF the United
States. The house of representatives
represents more properly the direct
interests of the ~people-the Interests
OF agriculturists. OF mechanics and OF
the laborer. The United States senate
not only represents these interests also
but It represents the interests Of capital
merchants and manufacturers Why should
the agriculturist or the mechanic or the
laborer have his house and not the mer'
chant or manufacturer have his? II tho
request in this resolution is granted state
conventions will propose candidates who
will be elected by pluralities instead Of by
majorities.
II these frivolous objections contain
the whole argument against the demand
for direct popular election OF senators
the only wonder is that a single votI
should be recorded against 1t in am
legislative body except the senate of tn,
United States itself.
In the first place, the plea that tn
guaranty of a conservative, careful
policy on the part Of congress can b
preserved only by maintaining tn
present character and composition o
the senate has no substantial founda
ton. AS much radical or experiments
legislation originates In the senate a
in the house and the brakes are a
often applied in the n end of tn
capitol as In the other. The retentio
OF the longer term and subdivision
holding over, so as to make a permG
nent body. would retain for the senat
all the stability 1t now enjoys, as con
pared with the house, changing con
pletely every two years. This is toda
the real guaranty OF senatorial col
servatlsm rather than the method {
circuitous election.
The frank admission that the lowe
house of congress represents moi
properly the direct interests OF Il

SECULAR SHOTS AT THE PULPIT.

baltimore American: A New Jersey min
lister named Dammes Is In trouble with MS
congregation, and the latter are missing no
chance to pronounce.
BROOKLYN Eagle: One ministers wife has
obtained a raise In her husbands salary by
going upon the variety stage. 1t is hoped
that the example will not be widely fol-
lowed, because some ministers wives can
not act a little bit.
Buffalo Express: There is a Jersey CITY
clergyman whom any Jury Of women would
condemn after a moments elaboration to
capital punishment. In a marriage certih-
cate he added fifty years to the brides age.
Only hanging would meet the requirements
Of such a case as that.
Chicago Post: The Brooklyn minister's
wife who went on the vaudeville stage to
help exc out a living income for her family
has gone back home because her husbands
salary has been increased. This may be a
hint to other churches to recognize that
the laborer is worthy Of his hire.
New York Press: Priests who cannot
marry are the last men in the world to
preach about the decay of the sturdy old
American stock. There is no such thing
today as American stock. We have had the
native Americans-the I~ndians-over 400
years, and have reduced them to a handful
Of harmless imbeciles. There was the stock
to graft to- But we preferred the scum OF
effete Europe. We are anollapodrida. We
are a hash, and a cheap clearinghouse
hash, at that. BY and by we shall be a re-
hash. But we still live. Our preachers are
talking for the newspapers. II they had
only their congregations for an audience
they would talk differently. But they are
talking to the world.
Kansas City Star: The Methodist ad-
thorities seem rather more certain that they
have secured the millions Of dollars they
set out to raise for the new century than
that they have saved the number OF souls
they aimed to gather In. The contention
that the church had made 1900 900 converts
In the last four years was sharply disputed
by DR.. Buckley in New York recently.
Methodlsm, this stanch churchman asserted,
was declining in the east, and there was no
use Disgusting the fact. II IL TO be hoped
DR.. Buckley Is mistaken. The country has
been in the habit Of looking to the Metho-
dist church as the great evangeliEing arm OF
Professionalism. But II the salt OF Metho-
dism has lost Its SAVIOR, what Is to be done
II may be assumed. however, that even II
DR.. Buckley Is correct. the church will be
in nowise discouraged. IL will doubtless
press forward with renewed energy TO re-
cover lost ground in its ancient assurance
that the church militant IL to become the
church triumphant.
