 Fulenwider is Dead.

Birmingham, Sept. 27.-(SpeciaL)- | M. M Richey, Assistant General super fptendent of the Southern Railway with headquarters in Birmingham re- turned this morning in his private car from East Tennessee. where he weh' | to look after the awful wreck Of last Saturday morning.
 At the time of the wreck MT. Ricney was in Mobile. but upon being advised rushed as quickly as possible to East Tennessee. All the wreckage will DC removed by tonight.
 When asked this morning as to the awful disaster, Mir. Richey said: cannot say anything more than to give copy of a statement made in Knox vile. as follows:
 There is nothing to add to our vics- presidents original statement.
 The accident was deplorable, but un- der the circumstances, was beyond the control of the management equally as much as the destructive elements that are controlled by Divine power.
 We are here as friends and neigh bors to ascertain the facts and to sym pathize with the unfortunate ones, and to do everything in our power to aid in relieving the suffering and distress and we want the friends of the unfor tunates and citizens of Knoxville to feeI that they<can freely command us either as officials or individuals.
 The engineer and conductor of tho westbound train were old and trusted employees. They had been in the ser vice of the company for years. Their moral character in Knoxville. where | they lived. was good. It Is hard to con
 ceive how the engineer overlooked thu
 only order he had in running his train
 At Morristown. where he received or ders to meet train No. 12, the east
 bound train at New Market, he req,
 the order to his conductor, told a hote
 runner that his meeting order was fo | New Market, and he repeated 1t agal, | to a negro bus driver. The trail
 stopped at New Market and discharged
 and took on passengers. Then, thu
 horrib ble mistake was made. The twt | trains were made up with all requiret
 equipment. There was nothing lief
 undone in the handling of the regula
 traffic. The engineer and conducto

Smith Talks of Extra Session.

Hon. John V. Smith, President of the State Railroad Commission, was in Bir- mingham this morning. MT. Smith Is of. the opinion that an extra session is the Legislature will be inevitable in the event that the Supreme Court declares the Lusk bill unconstitutional.
 The effect of such a decision." said he, would be to throw the judiciary machinery of the State out of gear, and the necessity foran extra session would be paramount. The Governor Is loath to call the Legislature together-and very properly so-but the impression at the State Capitol is that he will issue the call in the contingency I have in- dicated."

SUGGESTIONS TO DEMOCRATS
Great Thoughts of Grent democrats
Shonld lie Widely Circulated.

The Democratic party Is boasting of
the fact that in this campaign II is
sending out a great number of tons of
literature, though why literature should
be sent out by the Democratic party no
one can understand. Upon second
thought, though, II must be- admitted,
as matter Of fairness in speaking of
people who vote the Democratic ticket,
that quite n number of them can read,
However. this Is merely suggestion
to the men whose business II Is to handle
the Democratic campaign OF education.
To he consistent they must keep up
the campaign lies. In their tons Of lit
crature they must first reitcratc the
fulsch0od Of Senator Bailey of Texas,
when he declared In a recent speech
that the President advocated lynching
as punishment for stealing.
They should issue a few million
pamphlets advocating the attitude Of
Dcihperhcys great representative,
Champ CLARK, In assuming that when
some ono In the audience lisngrccs with
the speaker on the platform II is the
rrerogatye Of the speaker after his
speech is over, to cut the throat Of the
Objector from ear To- ear.
There is an old saying that q lie well
stuck to is as good as the truth It
is not sound proposition, but there Is
in II a suggestion ns 10 what the Demo.
Gratis might do with their money in cir.
Culnting campaign literature.
II Is TO be hoped that they will be
grateful for these suggestions, but the
chances are ten to one that they won't.

But the public still suspects there's

alone.
Their base presence no more casts dark
reflection
In the limelight that dcscends around

For the candidates declared he never

He repeats it while the white robcd are
around;
Then he coyly turns one car to earth and
listens
To instruction from the subway under

And August smiles scrcnely o'cr at

And Dave looks back and winks the

And all the while they keep right on ar.

DEMOCRATS ADMISSION.
Parker's Party Afraid to stand on Its
Past Record.

John Il. Stanchtield, one of the leaders
OF the New York Democracy, said In a
speech at Schenectady:
They dhc Dcmocratsl do not stand on
their past. but they present live Inter
probation OF live issues"
Truly, the Democratic party does not
stand on its past. 1t dares not stand
on its past-on its advocacy of free
coinage of silver, on its demand for the
hauling down OF the iiag in the Philip
pines, on the business paralysis that
marked the last period during which the
Democratic party was in control of the
government; ON its declaration that the
war for the preservation of the Union
was failure; on all the laundering OPP
position of which its history is a con
tinuous record.
The Democratic party does not and
darcs not stand upon its record. because
its record would discrcdt the most en-
ticing promises that it could make.

THOROUGHLY EXPOSED.
The Weakness of Parker and Davis
Grows Palmer Ench Day,

1t appears that Judge Parker of
Esopus is going to New York City to
run his own campaign. The revelation
has come, but il has come more swiftly
than most of rs expected. The rcvela-
tion is simply this--that the idea of the
country that the Democrats had nomi-
mated fine old judge whose character
led up to the standard of what u judge
should be is shivered into splinters. Two
years ago the country knew nothing of
Judge Alton B. Parker of New York.
and little Of Henry Gassaway Davis of
West Virginia, two men picked up, for
n purpose. by the men who controlled the
Democratic national convention. How
clear to everybody now must be the sit
uation! Instead of this stately judge
who sent the stately telegram to St.
Louis, appears, and for all permanency,
merely decent creature of the famous
New York politician, David Bennett
Hill.
1t is all queer. 1t appears so unsub-
stantial and Indifferent that Hill could
have nominated one of his creations for
the Presidency!
As the days pass in this autumn of
1901 the eyes of the American people
are opening as to the political situation.
There is no anguish following the open
ing. 1t is practically all over, save the
exhibition of certain exubcrance next
November.
1t is impossible that such n people
as are the voters of the United States
could vote generally to place the gov
crnment in the hands of Tammany and a
weak but crafty Democratic leader
whose aims and objects have seemed
ever to be for himself alone, one who
has never heard or thought OF the ex-
preston, "the greatest good for the
greatest number" and who, above all,
seems incompetent for the best manage
ment of the United States.
