FIVE CARS AND THE LOCOMOTIVE
WERE COMPLETELY DE-
MoLlsHED.
ulGn sPtfD CAUSES THE WRECK
ENGINEER WAS NEW MAN ON Dl,
VISION AND NOT FAMILIAR
WITH TRACK.

Charlotte, N. c., Sept. 29-While
running at high rate of speed fast
mail train on the Southern railway
jumped from trestle sevecty. five feel
high north of Danyille, W., yesterday
afternoon and almost dem o!isnea. .Of
the crew of sixteen men,, including,
mail carriers, nine We're &I!lel and
seven injured.
All of the injured men are seNpusly
hurts and have been taken to the hos.
pital in Danville. Several of them are
thought to be mortally injured.
The trestle where the accident oc-
CURED is 500 feet long and is on a
sharp curve Engineer Brodie was a
new man on that division of the South
ern, and thus came to the curve at a
high rate of speed. i
The locomotive had gone only fifty
feet on the trestle when it
sprang From the Track,
carrying with it four mail cars and an
express car. The trestle, a wooden
structure, also gave way for space
Of fifty feet
At the foot of the trestle is shall
low stream with a rocky bottom: Strik-
ing this the locomotive and sthe cars
were reduced to mass of twisted
iron and steel and pieces of splintered
wood. AS the cars went down they
touched the sides Of the riverside cot
ton mill.
All the dead men we're mutilated.
The skin and hair on the engineer and
fireman were torn off by the boiler.
Several thousand people were soon
at the scene of the wreck. No one on
any of the cars had made an effort to
jump and the bodies of all those killed
were found in the wreckage of the diff
ferent cars to which they belonged.
All unofficial opinions say the cause
of the wreck was the high speed of the
train on the sharp curve.

Children Of Governor Are said to Be
in Danger. v.
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 29.-An attempt
was made Saturday night to kidnap
the eight-year-old daughter of Gov.
Mickey. While four of the governors
children were playing in front of the
mansion an unknown man came along
and tried to carry away the oldest girl.
The other children clung to his clothes
and screamed. The man was so badly
frightened when he saw the neighbors
coming that he dropped the Child and
ran. Gov. Mickey says that the
warden of the penitentiary. Mr.. BEEN
er, reported to him twice that kid
mapping attempt had been prvphesled
by convicts. One convict said some
time ago that such a plan lad been
formed as means of getting revenge
on the governor for his refusal to in
terfere when William Rhea was
har.ed last summer for murder.

TRAVELLING BY STEERAGE.
New York Couple Studying Im-
 migration Problem

Discovered Some Things They Were
 Not Looking for-Counterfeit Gre
 dentials Easy to Get and Therefore
 Introduction of Disease an Easy Mat
 ter.
 New York. Oct 16.-Broughton Brandeburg and his wife, of this city, , who went to Italy recently and re- turned in the steerage to study the immigration problem from a personal standpoint, asserts that he discovered at Naples band of men through whom counterfeit credentials could be pug- chased, which made introduction of disease into this country an easy mat ter. The couple accompanied an Ital- ian family of twenty-six to the docks at Naples. There all baggage is sup posed to be fumigated at 8 station in the harbor and properly marked. Of his experience, he said:
 ''One of our party was approached by man who said that for $5 he would fix it so that the party and their hand baggage, which numbered eighteen pieces, would not have to be exam ined and fumigated. After dickering with the man we made a deal for $2.
 with the assistance of eight com panions he huddled us together in plain sight of the police station and fixed the labels to our baggage for the benefit of the authorities at Ellis Island. The baggage passed through to the steamer without trouble. I then went to United States Vice Consul Saint Ledger and told him what had taken place. Three of the men were arrested. Seals and United States consular tags were found on them.''

WHAT TIE GAR SAYS.
Roosevelt, Cleveland or Bryan
 Could Do 1t.

With Twenty Labor Leaders They
 Gould Organize the People of Rus
 sia for Self Government-They are
 Not Ready for It Yet, However.
 Chicago, Oct 16.-"The czar says that Russia is not.ready for republic. that its people cannot be organized. Put Roosevelt or Cleveland or Bryan at the head of twenty labor leaders whom l. could select and in one year they would organize the people of Russia and make them ready for self government"
 This tribute to the ability of some of the leaders or organized labor in the United States was paid last night by Luis Jackson of New York, industrial commissioner of the Erie railroad, in an address at dinner of the Chicago real estate board at the Chicago Ath- letic club. Other speakers during the evening joined in his praise of union labor and union leaders.
 MT Jackson's declaration of the power of labor leaders was prefaced by the following assertion:
 "A few men at the head of the labor movement have organized a union of 100000, and in time of national trou- ble they could organize as great an army for the national defense. To these men credit and reward IS due.
 ''The factory bell of the big city should not ring before 8 a. m. Real estate men Of the big cities should unite to this end. Then the laborer may have his little home in the suburb, will have time for his bath and his breakfast, and can get to work in time. Then when he is asked to strike on a trivial issue he will consider his home and will be restrained from hasty ac- ton by the same Influence that re strains the man who controls millions of invested capital"

Scattered around the entrance to the garden were the Zion guards, each dressed in a black uniform and black peaked caps On the cap just above bhe peak was a gilt dove and under 1t the word braided in gilt letters, "Pa. tfence." In the belt each wore was the usual sword strap, but instead of weapon the strap held a Bible.
 All who wished were assigned to quarters in nearby boarding houses.
 Conspicuous among the arrivals was the Zion band. numbering rthirty eight members, all dressed in a bright green uniform. Among the most prominent of those who arrived to-day was Elder Abraham F. Lee, general recorder of the Zion restoration host, who has charge of the restoration movement all over the world.
 Others who arrived were Charles E. Barnard. formerly a Chicago banker, and now general financial manager for Dowie: Rev w. O. Dinirls, chaplain of the Zion guards. who wears their uni- form; Deacon James S. Peters, who has charge of the transportation ar rangements, and Elders Farr and Hall of Chicago.
 After looking things over at Madi- son Square Garden, Dr Dowie gath cred the reporters together and talked to them for over an hour. He said that he came to New York in the ca pacity of the Prophet Elijah. He asked for fair play for himseR and people. His coming to New York was not a money making scheme He and his people were believers in the Bible from cover to cover, but he did not copy everything because the Bible is record of sayings of both good and bad men.
