ACCIDENT ON THE S. A. LA fear
full railroad accident occurred at Hen
derson, on the main line Of the Sea-
board Air Line, last night, When the
Florida limited, a fast through train'
ran into an open switch and was de-
rallied. This train is due to pass Hen
derson about midnight, but does not
stop at that point.
Last night the train was entering the
town at a rate Of speed something like
go miles an hour. when it ran into an
open switch, left the track and rolled
over into a ditch. The train continued
to run for several hundred yards after
leaving the track, so great was the mo-
mentum of speed.
Engineer Tucker who stuck to his
post, was fatally injured. Both arms
and legs were broken. and in addition
he suffered internal injuries. Every
other member Of the crew was more OF
less seriously injured, except Conduc-
tor Westly. Mr.. Westly was standing
in q car door when the accident oc-
CURED, and when the train left the
track he was thrown to the floor In
the vestibule falling diagonally across
the car. The passengers escaped In
jury.
The engine and most Of the cars
were badly damaged. After being
derailed, one of the Pullman cars
caught fire and the interior Of the coach
was badly burned. A large number OF
passengers were on board. and 1t Is
considered almost miraculous thai
many of them were not injured serious
" or killed.-Charlotte Chronicle

- Soon after the house convened last
Wednesday, the postoffice appropriation
bill was taken up. An animated de-
bate was precipitated over an amend
ment by Mr.. Overstreet reducing 10
s7.S5O,OOO the appropriation for inland
mail transportation. Mr.. Rlxey, OF
Virginia, declared that no effort nao
been made by the department to pet,
ter the star route service and inquired
why there was so much difference IN
the pay of the rural carriers ana the
star route carriers. Because inter-
jected Mr. Griggs, of Georgia, mem
Der of the committee, the rural free
delivery service has grown into vast
political machine. Star route car
riers." he said, receive much less
pay" Mr.. Maddox of Georgia, main
tained that until the rural service was
established and put In operation the
department made no effort to better
the star route service at all. But TOR
the rural service, he said the depart
ment would be running a one-eyed
mule or a Texas pony all over the
country and no member of congress
would admit to a foreigner that that
was United States mail.

FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1904.

THINKING they have the Republicans
in very embarrassing position be-
cause of their questionable administra-
ton of the post office department, the
Democrats are trying to force an in
vestigation. The Republicans, how
ever. are unwilling to investigate and
there the matter stands at present.

THE creditors Of Daniel J. Sully &
Co. do not seem to be satisfied that
the failure of the company is quite as
clean as it's members would have it
appear. 1t was understood sometime
back that behind the company Of
Sully & Co., there was a syndicate
of rich spectators which was really
responsible for his operations. The
creditors reason that if such was the
case, then it is so now. and that if
these rich men can only be gotten at
they can be made to pay up dollar for
dollar. 1t is because of this view of
the case that Sully's offer to pay 40
per cent cash and the balance on time
was declined. An examination Of the
books of Sully & Co. will no doubt
develop some interesting revelations.

THERE are but little signs of hope
for Democratic unity as to a presi-
Dental candidate or a national plat
form this year. That the prestige of
Mr.. Bryan is still high in the party
there is no question. and there is a
strong conviction that his influence is
for w. f. Hearst. Senator German
seems to be losing ground as prob
able candidate and Judge Parker of
New York is holding his own, espec-
tally outside Of his own state. The
followers of Mr.. Cleveland remain
unshaken in their faith in the prin-
ciples and records of the eX-president
and hold that unless the party insists
on nominating him, or an acceptable
exponent Of all that he has stood for
and still stands for. the present cam
paign will come to the same end that
has marked the two campaigns prev
ious. OF course. the south will con-
tinue to vote for whoever may be
nominated: but the south cannot elect
a president without help.

Mr.. Hearst evidently has unlimited
faith in the power of the press.
Wherever he fails to get the support
of a leading Democratic daily in any
one of the larger cities he proceeds
forthwith to establish a paper Of his
own. This is the exclamation of his
latest newspaper venture in Boston.

DANGER FROM CHINA.-A Berlin dis
patch to the New York Herald says
that a we'll known diplomat in Paris
asserts that q most pessimistic view is
taken there of the tension which it
is declared has set in between Russia
and China. All fears regarding the
attitude of China in the war seems to
be approaching realization. Dispatches
have been received from Pekin in
which the Chinese deny their inten-
ton of abandoning the attitude of neu-
trallity. but everything, the diplomatist
AYERS. shows that it is really only
waiting for Il favorable opportunity to
take part i'm the hoStilitieS.
The Russian government has re-
ceived similar reports from the min
lister ut Pekin, and is taking measures
in consequence. In the last day or
two an exchange of views OF an eN-
haustive character has taken place be-
tween the French and Russian gov
ernments as to China'S intervention in
the war. but no decision was reached
as to the line of action to be adopted
by France in this eventuality. The
answer OF the Chinese government to
the threatening dispatch sent by Rus
sia is awaited with anxiety.

THE statement is made that apparent

Dsavss Boys Tor the Beet Fields.
Rocky Ford was visited Saturday BY
Dr.. ulbum Merrill. field agent for Judge
Lindssys organization for helping Denver
boys secure work in the country. The
principal object Of his trip here was 70
interview Hon. w. B. Ebbsrt. president
Of the Beet Growers Protective Assoeia-
ton. who last year gave Pueblo boys .
trial In the beet fields. Mr.. Ebbsrt told
Or. Merrill that last years experience
with city boys had bssn such that the
farmers had lost confidence In them. and
that the boys must show themselves ca
pable and willing before the movsmsnt 70
give them labor would meet with the CO.
operation Of the beet growers Of Rocky
Ford. Tho fact was Impressed on DR..
Merrill that the farmers took considerable
risks In turning important work over to
tho boys. as inefficient, careless work
would 1850 tho growers much money.
The farmers do not expect the city youths
to start in e1p,rt beet-thinnars. but they
do expcc, tho boys to try 10 do tho work
right and to be steady and faithful. II
thu boys will stick to the work. observe
order and talk bu. little. thoy can do we'll
for themselves and be henea: to tho
beet growers.
The boys are to eeme hero well equipped
By their organization with tents and all
camp appliances. Tho farmers furnish
nothirg except camping place. which
for the first squad will be in the grounds
Of the Newdale school house.
The frs. team Of boys will bc here
abou, May 25,h. but will no; come until
they have definite orders from Mr.. Eb-
bert. These first ooy bee,-thinners will
have thrown on them a considerable re-
sponsibility, and on their conduct will de-
pend the employment Of other boys. II
they do the right thing-and we earnestly
hope they will-out beet growers will b
encouraged to arrange for tho coming o
