All those who met death were In the

the local train. Mr.. Atterbury is on his
vacation in Maine. He expected TO re-
turn about October !. and his car had
been overhauled preparatory TO sending
&c 10 Maine to bring him home. IL was
sent out for a test run and was at
tached 70 a local train from Paoli for
this city. In the car at the time OF the
collision were about a dozen men who
had been engaged IN overhaulins the
car Those who were not killed were
injured.
The local train was made up IN the
Paon yard on the north side OF the
railroad and switched across 20 the
east-bounG track No !, on the south
side. and came TO a stop at the station.
Before the switches could be set the
New York limited came along at mod
crate speed on the No. east-bound
crashed into the local train The force
OF the collision was so great that the
engine OF the limited ploughed 10 feet
into the private car, and the latter was
forced half way Though the day coach

Hundreds OF railroad men from the
yards came quickly 20 the rescue
Nearly all the injured were at once

SOUTHERN WHITE FOLKS AND
REV. DIXON.

We made no mistake in forming
our opinion of the attitude of the
better class of white people with re-
ference to Rev. Thomas Dixon's eff
fort to stir up race prejudice and a
waken antagonism between the races
This gentleman has lived TOO long
in the North TO fully understand and
appreciate the conditions here. He
evidently took his cue from the Ne
graduating journals and from politi
clans of the Gov. Vardaman and
Senator Tillman stripe.
Rev. Dixon is not only getting a
roast" so to speak, but a regular
"ox-roast" at the hands Of those
whom ne presumed would throw W
their hats and cheer him as the d.
vine deliverer while others would be
shovelIing dollars into the Golfers Of
his depleted treasury.

We received a copy of resolutions
passed by the Young Mems Catego
rical Club of Williamsport, Pa, con
demning the Negro Baptist State
Convention In session at Dallas. Tex.
during the week ending August 90,
1905 which refused to pass resolu-
tions condemning lynching, but on
the contrary adopted resolutions
commencing the action Of mob In
burning a colored man, named Thorn

Jackson Of Dallas. Texas was also
denounced. and declared 10 be unfit

The resolutions are signed by
Chas. O'Brlen, Calvin Anderson, Bur
reu Harris and r. B. Brewington.
The condemnation is unquestionably
deserved, but the committee should
remember that these Negroes, who
stumbled over themselves in endors-
murder live in Texas. and it is cur
rently reported that the gates Of
Hell are somewhere In that neigh
borhood.
They evidently belong 10 the black

ing people everywhere.

CONTROLS WEALTH
OF The NATION
Life Insurance Pool Yields Stu
pandous Power.
ExTRAvAGANT EXPENSE ITEMS

New York. Sept. 25.-How stupen-
dous is the power OF the little coteris
OF men who govern life insurance
conditions. and how helpless the real
owners Of the great life Insurance
companies are 10 prevent wasteful and
criminal use OF their wealth was dem
onstratod by John W. Ryckman, the
owner and editor OF the Era Maya.
zine, who for a year has been investi-
eating and exposing the corrupt ALI
ance OF the great life insurance com
panies with the Wall street gamblers,
and who has kept on in his work in
the teeth Of an organized effort 20
drive him 70 the wall and silence
him.
In his testimony before the legis-
lative committee" said Mr. Rycklnan
George W. Perkins made a statement
so astonishing that even his shrewd
inquisitOr. Lawyer Hughes, stood for
q moment amazed and apparently I'M
able 10 grasp its. gravity. Mr.. Perkins
said. in an Off-hand way. and appar-
emily in defense of the methods of In
surance companies. that in 10 years
from now. II IL should not write an
other dollar OF insurance, the New
York Life Insurance company would
alone control more than Sl,000.000.-
600. The other two big companies
would control another 81 .O00. 900. 900
Now. think what this means. The
Mutual Life Insurance company and
the Equitable Society are each approx
imately in the same position as their
great corporate ally, and their accu-
mutations in the next 10 years viii
amount 70 as much. If not more; so
that these three institutions are bound
in an indissoluble alliance.
Can you conceive a greater danger
TO the republic than that a sum
crater than the whole money supply
OF all the SO0O0,O0O population in
actual dollars should be controlled and
handled without recourse by q small
coterie OF men under a system OF or.
ganized audacity and cunning, for
which II would be difficult to cite a
parallel in history?
"The fact that the Big Three life
insurance companies disbursed in 1904
the enormous sum of $40,000000 for
management expenses is alone sufh-
Client to convict these companies OF
recklessness.
THE entire expenses of the whole
consular and diplomatic service Of the
United States amounted last year to
less than $4,000 900; the entire inter
est on the public debt In the United
States in 1903 was less than $4,000,
0o0, and the cost Of the entire Ameri
can naval establishment in 1896 was
only $27147,732.
Nothing can more strongly illus
trate the awful extravaganza Of these
misdirected institutions than a com
parison of the steady growth OF their
management expenses with the rela
lively small increase in the volume oi
their new business. For instance, IN
1904 the total premiums on new bust
ness of the Equitable alone were SIP.
! 825.527, while the management ex
penses were $14.S4e.25S; the totai
premiums on new business OF the Mu
tual we're $14.676.652. while the man
agement expenses were $16.65e. 1872;
the total premiums on new business
of the New York Life were $16.13s.
