MERRITT HURT in ACCIDENT.
STATE School Commissioners Narrowly
Escapes Death.



Escapes Death.
Atlanta, Sept. 19-Commissioner w.
B. Merritt narrowly escaped serious
injury and probably death yesterday
morning in a runaway accident at val
dosta, where the popular commission
er had gone 10 spend a few days at
his old home. That he sustained
nothing but a bad bruise on the body
and a painful scratch of the arm IS
considered miraculous by eyewitnesses
Of the accident. Commissioner Mer-
rift returned to Atlanta last night and
is now at his home in this city.
Professor Merritt stated In reply 20
questions regarding the accident that
he was out driving yesterday morning
at his old home, was on his way TO
Pine Park His horse, which was
hitched to light buggy, became fright
ened at rapidly passing trolley car
and dashed on the track Immediately
in front of the car, which was then
going down grade. The motorman was
powerless to stop the car before strik-
ing the buggy The front wheels
were shattered by the force of the
blow, Mr.. Merritt receiving the inju-
ries stated aboves The horse was
unhurt.
Professor Merritt spoke lightly on
the accident and apparently carried
very few marks of his fall, but his
friends will be very grateful to know
that the result was no worse than l.

HAY-HERRoN CANAL TREATY.
lt Is Denied that Beaupree's Note
Caused Rejection.


NewYo York, Sept 19.-Members OF
congress who arrived here from Bogo-
ia fatty deny, says a dispatch to The
Herald, that United States Minister
Beaupree's note caused the rejection
Of the Hay-Herran treaty. The min
ister's note, they say, did not inf1u-
ence the senators, all of whom were
opposed to the treaty except Senator
Obaldia.
Rejection, therefore, was a foregone
conclusion. There had, however,
been an intention to permit the treaty
measure to pass the first reading for
the sake of conventional courtesy.
Minister Beaupre, 1t is reported, will
probably ask for his passports as soon
as he Is officially notified of the re-
lection of the treaty and find that
there are no hopes of its renewal.
The latest advices from Bogota say
that the central government has no in.
tention of sending further military re-
inforcements to the isthmus, as under
the present circumstances such action
would be injudicious and would precipi.
tate matters.
Il Is considered in Bogota that the
isthmus is sufficiently guarded by the
present garrison of 500 men. There
are also three gunboats on the Pacific
side ready for any emergency. Besides
II is held that the presence of large
number OF troops on the isthmus would
raise the mortality rate and would
cause much cash outlay which would
be burdensome in view of the strain
ed financial situation.
