The cause Of the accident will have "a
be determined by an investigation, hap.
pening at a very peculiar place and UNI
der peculiar circumstances. The train
struck. was backing into the siding at
Isley, when another freight crashed into
it.
Freight train No. III, Is loads, en-
CINE 20 in charge OF Engineer T. C. Fin.

ductor A. L. Corbitt, was running south
when train No 1876, 10 loads, Engine No.

ner, Fireman G. W. Gilbert and Con.
ductor G.. r Matlock, was taking the
siding at Isley. The latter train was
going into the siding to let passenger
train No. l2l by, but before it got into
the clear was struck b ythe III, nine
ears being wrecked and the engine badly
damaged
The crew Of the 1875 saw the approach
ing train and left the caboose before the
crash came, and the crew Of the In
jumped also when it was seen a collision
was Inevitable
Fireman Howard Pleasant did not
alight ON Ms feet. but struck on his head
and shoulders. His face was slightly
cut and his shoulder bruised. but the
injury did not prove TO be serious
Pleasant came TO the city and had his
injuries dressed at the railroad hospital
The local wrecking crew was at Prince

accident happened. and FASTENED to the
scene. II required over two hours to
clear the debris away and make it pos
sible for the passage OF trains. The
engine of the III was badly damaged
and the ears smashed to smithereens.
The accommodation train No. l2l was
a few minutes behind the III and was
delayed by the accident not arriving
in Paducah until after 3 o'clock Train
No l0l, the fast Louisville and Memphis
passenger, was delayed some time. Sew
eral freight trains were affected, also.
The damage To the road in equipment

Democratic Committee to Meet
Next Monday Evening.
A Mass Convention Likely To Select
Candidates For Aldermen and
Councilmen.
HALF THE BOARDS GO OUT

The Democratic city committee
will meet Monday evening at the city
ball to decide on the time and manner
of naming candidates for the city
offices to be filed in November.
Half the board of aldermen and
councilmen and OF the board Of edu-
cation are to be elected every year
under the new charter, and half Of
the present boards accordingly go out
this year.
II is more than likely that the
Democrats will order a mass conven-
ton, the first to be held here by Dem
ocrats in many years to name the city
officers, owing to the short time before
the election, and to the fact that the
Offices are not very remunerative,
and the Democrats are not very eager
to get offices that do not pay. II would
not be worth the cost of primary to
be elected to the Offices.
This fall some of the best members
Of the two boards 90 out. Those who
drew the short terms and retire are I:
Aldermen Charles Reed, Gus Single
ton, Henry Orme and A. W. Greif !;
Councilmen Ed. Harmon, AL Hy-
marsh, ]. S. jackson, Charles Smed-
ley, Jas. McCarty and L. d. Watson.
The school trustees who retire are !:
Messrs. Robertson, May, Herndo o.
Greif, McFadden and Renfro.
A city primary would cost consid.
cradle money, and the candidates
would have TO pay it, hence it is
likely that there will be a convention,
which costs nothing.
Chairman Frank Boyd, of the Re.
publican city committee, stated to-
day that he would not call the Repub-
ioan city committee together until
after September LIST. IL is the inten-
ton Of the party to put up the best
men in Paducah for the various offices
to be filed. There lie general disgust
and discomfort over the present ad.
ministrstion. and it 10 believed that
the Republicans can elect the entire
half OF all the boards this fall.

The Constitution placed control where it is
SO that the whole people. through Congress,
could have their capital Just as they want

payers of a single city should be called
upon to pay for the ideals of the people in
this particular. They could not do it, 1t
would confiscate property to enforce it,;
hence the amicable arrangement and the
'half-and-half' plan.
Congress exercises the full power re-
