Railroad Accidents.

There have been series OF railroad
accidents since Saturday. Early this
morning several freight cars became de-
tached from train in the Washington
Southern yard and started westward.
A locomotive was backing east on the
same track at the time, and the cars and
engine met short distance this side OF
the Virginia Glass Works. A collision
followed in which the tender of the en-
CINE was smashed and knocked from the
trucks and several of the cars were more
or less injured. Mr.. John Harrington,
the engineer, jumped when he saw a
collision was inevitable and sprained one
of his ankles.
A rear-end collision between some
freight cars occurred at Rockfsh, OH the
Southern Railway, yesterday. No one
was hurt, but several cars were smashed
and the track was blocked for some time.
Two freight trains on the Southern
Railway collided in the Danville yards
Saturday night, one man being badly
injured, two engines damaged and one
car demolished. Through some mistake
the switch was not turned and train NO.
II ran into No. so. Brakeman George
Rich. of Monroe, was on one OF the GERS
just back of the engine. As soon as ne
saw the trains would come together he
jumped, andIin doing so broke his leg and
sustained other injuries. The two en-
CINE we're more or less damaged, and the
second car behind the engine of No. Il
was demolished. Neither of the engi-
neers or firemeu jumped and they were
not hurt.
Train No on the Pennsylvania Rail
road at three o'clock this morning ran
into freight train in the yards at Ben
nings Station The freight train was not
properly placed and overlapped the
switch. Engineer Smith, of Baltimore,
jumped and was badly bruised. The
through car to Jacksonville was shaken
up and damaged, but none Of the pas
sengers was hurt.

ICOMMUNICAIED'
THE KING STREET PAVING.

THE KING STREET FANlNU'
Several months ago the undersigned
expressed an opinion that it was unwise
to increase our debt for the purpose of
making street Improvements, for which
he was called an "old fogy' and other
uncomplimentary names. Bear in mind
he was not opposed to the improvements,
but to the burden. He Is Of the same
mind today and believes that Il certain
amount of improvement can be made
each year and in such way that the
taxpayers will not feel it. King street
is paved, and we like it, and in the
course of time it may be benefit to the
city. But what annoys US now is, that
some of the property holders on King
street, who insisted upon "bOnd issue, -,
are combining to resist the payment OF
their just proportion of the cost of such
work in front of their premises, and ut
is said) a proposition was made I'm
meeting" that committee be appointed
to wait on the city officials and urge
them TO appoint an attorney to present
their side of the case to the courts. IL
they succeed, the owners of property on
streets where same is Improbable will
be compelled to pay for improvements
on King street, where property pays a
good dividend. Be decent, gentlemen
you have forced the city government to
furnish the medicine, now take it like
good children and don'tcry, and bear in
mind that hereafter when You want new
pavements you will have to fork over in
advance. T. Y. r.

Painful Accident.

Mrs. Frank Beach, living on Patrick
street, near Wolfe, was the victim OF a
very painful accident late Saturday even
ing while engaged in scrubbing a floor:
While so occupied she placed her hand
nnder the safe where a fish hook was
suspended by string and the hook
caught into the member, sinking deep
into the flesh. All Mrs. Beach's efforts
to remove the barbed hook proved fruit
less and DR.. Delaney was summoned 70
her assistance. He soon arrived and
disengaged it from her hand.

CANTON LABOR UNION
HAS POLLOCK CORNERED
Republican Candidates Friends Try to Defeat In
Itiative and Refere dunn Resolution In
c. L. y. Meeting.

meeting without consent. But when
the resolution was drawn up in its
regular form, the Pollock men realized
that their candidate was up against it.
These men did not do their work INV
der cover but put forth the argument
that II this resolution received passage
at the hands of the C. U. 1t would
injure the chances of Pollock as can
didate for senator, as the latter could
not afford to endorse direct legislation
against the dictates of his party.
The story of the meeting has leaked
out through an authoritive source and
the details as given above are confirm
ed by members of the body who are
not partisans. The effort of Mr. Pol
lock to force the union men to his sup
port is disgusting in the highest degree
to the Democrats of the council who
look upon the action of certain union
labor adherents to whip the men in
line for the North Lawrence man as
unfair. AS one delegate stated, az
was high time that the G. L. U. exer-
cised more care in its endorsement of
political candidates"
Many of the very men who led this
opposition TO the endorsement are men
who have publicly and privately de-
clared in favor of the initiative and ref
erendum. In the second declaration
of the American Federation Of Labor
is found the following, Direct legis-
lation through the initiative and refer
erdum."
The initiative and referendum has
been introduced into the separate labo!
unions. Questions of great moment
are voted upon by every member In
the National body, and the majority
rules.
1t is believed by close students OF
economics that direct legislation
through the initiative and referendum
would be a panacea for all the evi.'
of state legislative bodies. Under this
plan important questions Of state ant
of city as well would be submitted tt
the popular vote.
Very few If any labor advocates car
be found who question the arguments
in favor of this proposition.
1t is known that the Republican party
abhors direct legislation and the an
swer of Mr.. Pollock will be waited will

A bold attempt, undoubtedly inspir-
cI by the Republican senatorial candi-
date, Robert A. Pollock, was made up
on the floor of the Central Labor un-
ion last Thursday night to defeat the
endorsement Of the initiative and refer
endum, one Of the fundamental and
most vital planks of the American
Federation platform. But the fine work
of Mr. Pollock resulted in naught, as
after a hot discussion of over half
hour the resolution embodying the en-
dorsement was passed by the Central
Labor union, Notwithstanding the
steadfast opposition of small coterie
of Pollock sympathizers. The resolu-
tion went through with a rush and 1t
demands in addition to general en-
dorsement to the plan Of direct legis-
lation, that the labor element OF Can
ton represented by the central body
shall throw its support to such legisla-
tive candidates as adhere to the initi-
ative and referendum. To ascertain
the attitude of each legislative candi-
date, letters will be sent to them and
they will be asked to specifically de-
fine their stand upon this all-impor-
tant question.
Mr.. Pollock, with the passage Of this
resolution, finds himself in most en-
barrassing position. Holding an en-
dorsement from the G. l.. U. he must
either turn his back to his party and
endorse this so-called Socialistic plank,
or he must relinquish his claims upon
the support of organized labor. He is
in a sad predicament, and recognizing
the delicate position he would be placed
in If the resolution carried, 1t is claim
ed he openly and publicly inspired the
attack of last Thursday night.
Regularly elected delegates to th'
central body who have never been
known to take such an interest In the
deliberations of their organization ap-
peared at the meeting last Thursday
night 1t may only have been coin
cidcnce that several Of these delegatel
who have failed to appear at meetings
when politics were not brewing, werd
Republican workers. At least in one
case this was true. These men came
with the avowed purpose Of defeating
the passage of the resolution. The very
contents Of the resolution had received
the stamp of approval at the previous

TROLLEY ACCIDENT
AT YOUNGSTOWN
One Fatally Injured and Three
Others Badly Hurt
Players In Wreck.

Youngstown, O., Oct. IA telephone
pole was all that prevented one of the
most frightful accidents that has ever
been known in this city Wednesday
afternoon, when motor car on the
Park & Falls line, with five heavily
loaded trailers, was coming from the
ball park.
The injured: Mar Friedman, both
legs broken, will die; II. Timm, back
injured j. II. Goring, foot crushed;
c. d. Lindsay, foot crushed.
The cars were going down a steep
grade on Warren avenue, returning
from the ball game between the Ohio
Works and the st. Louis Nationals
and turning on to Market street, got
beyond the control of the motorman
John Cane. The first four trailcrs got
around the curve all right, but TIL:
fifth went off on a tangent. The car
which was loaded with 100 people,
among whom were number Of the
St. Louis team, shot Off the track and
swung across Market street. 1t struck
a telephone pole, which kept 1t up
right and saved the people from being
crushed.
When the passengers saw that the
accident was inevitable there was q
big rush to get off the sides of the car
which was an open one, jumping o
top of one another. Max Friedman
was under crowd of about 20. Dr.
A. M. Clarke was on the car and ron1
dered assistance to the injured. Freid-
man was taken to the city hospital and
the others to their homes. Besides the
four mentioned, half dozen or more
were shaken up. Just before the ac-
cident a string of five trailers and a
motor swung around the same curve
and the rear car almost went off the
track. The accident was seen from the
leading train of cars.
