Consul at Geneva Assaulted.

Paris (By Cable).-A dispatch from
Geneva says that the report cabled to
the United States by a news agency
of an assault upon H. L. Washing
ton, the American Consul at Gendva,
greatly exaggerated the incident. The
Consul himself says the affair was
unimportant. Mr.. Washington drove
his automobile into a herd of cattle
near Coppet, and an enraged herds
man attacked him, injuring him
slightly.

Southern Railway, carrying heavy

frightful headend collision. near
Hodges, Tenn, sending 81 people to

This appalling loss of life resulted
apparently from the disregarding OF

CASUALTIES OCCURRED in HEAVY TRAIN.
Only the Engine Crew Were Killed on the
Light Local.

Knoxville, Tenn. (SpeciaD. = The
collision was between eastbound pas

Of life occurred in the eastbound train,
while in the westbound train only the
engine crew were killed. Relief trains
were dispatched from Knoxville with
in an hour, and all physicians in the
vicinity of the wreck were doing what
they could when the local corps ar
rived.
An Editors Story.
John w. Brown, of Rogersville,
Tenn, newspaper editor, was in the
rear coach of the westbound train.
When the fearful jolt came, he said,
all the seats in the car were torn
loose, and people and seats were
hurled to the front of the car. When
he recovered from the shock he heard
the screams and groans of the injured
and dying in every direction.
81 left the car" said Mr.. Brown,
"as soon as could. and walked to the
main part of the wreck. 1t was the
most horrible sight ever witnessed.

of split timber, which has gone COM
pletely through her body. A little
child, quivering in deaths agony,
lay beneath the woman. | saw
the child die, and within few feet
of her lay a woman's head, while the

together into one mass of indescrib-
able ruins. The cars which were de-
molished were piled on the wrecked
engine.
Congressman Henry R. Gibson.
from the Second congressional dis
trict of Tennessee, was passenger
in the day coach of the eastbound
train. He and one other man. whose
name is not known, were the only
persons to escape alive from their de-
molished car.
One glance at the car showed it to
be a mass of human beings, backs of
car seats, grips. baskets and wearing
apparel of ali sorts. There was not
sign of life except that near his
side young man who had escaped
death and was struggling to get out.

washingtou's Birthday in the Schools

Washington birthday was well re-
membered in the Kinsley schools.
The grammar school and primary
rooms both gave very entertaining
program. Mr.. and Mrs. George
Washington favored Miss Grace Will
liams' room with their presence, and
the North primary room gave a hoop
and cranberry drill.
The visitors at the high school were
not so fortunate as those who called
at the lower rooms as the high school
has so much other business to think
about as to nearly forget our heroes.
A quotation was given by everyone
present in Miss Blanchard s room
Everything passed off pleasantly If it
had not been for the remem brance of
Professor Baugher;s illness.

nifty and is a credit to his position.
Perfect harmony prevailed in the
convention everywhere except in the
Brown township delegation and they
are not saying much-at present. 1t
is doubtful if putting J. K. Manuel on
the senatorial delegation will fix
things with the boys. They are pretty
good hands at ''evening up'' old
scores and we look for some fun yet.
There is one very funny feature in
the resolutions adopted by the repub-
lican county convention last Satur-
day. the reference to the reform
movement in the republican party.
The reforms referred to are not in ex-
listing abuses under which the people
of the state are suffering but to re-
forms in the party. This is an inter-
esting confession that this holier than
thou crowd needs reforming. We
have been led to suppose that the
machinery of government as admins
tered by this same outfit was the only
perfect thing on earth. This confess
sion of needed reform in the party is
a distinct shock and now we are COM
PEELED to believe that if reform is
really necessary it had better be in
trusted to other hands than those
which have been guiding the ship of
state for the past five years.

CONVENTION NOTES.

There was good attendance OF
representative republicans from all
parts of the county except Lincoln
township.
Noticeable features were the absence
of such old-time wheel horses of the
party as McCanse, Hatch and Beezley
The convention was as quiet and
orderly as Sunday school meeting.
Mr.. Watson was present but was
conspicuous by his silence. He had
but one opportunity to help out and
that was when Mr.. Andrews. for the
committee on permanent organizati on.
recommended that the temporary or
ganization be made permanent and
made frantic efforts to make A Andrews
understand that he should relieve the
chair of embarrassment by putting
the question to the house. Before the
idea soaked in the opportunity was
gone
Kinsley, assisted by Belpre and
Franklin, soaked it into Brown. This
occasioned some surprise, as hereto
fore close combination has existed
between Kinsley and Brown which has
enabled them TO handle things but for
some reason the stnff is off and a
feud is started which will also involve
Belpre. The fellows from the country
started in to talk three delegates to
the state convention from the country
and one from Kinsley. but when the
Kinsley fellows found that one of the
Manuels was to be one of the dele
gates they Immediately got out their
knives and went after him iE,an etfec-
tive manner.
1t is understood that had the sena-
tor made his transportation talk be-
fore any delegates we're elected those
with passes of their own might have
had the places on state and congress
sional delegations and the scramble
