CONGRESS FRAMED Up.
Republicans Will Make it DO
Nothing" Affair.

Washington, d. c., September 21.-
The chances are that the coming
Congress has been framed up by the
Republican leaders so that it Will be
practically do-nothing Congress, and
if anybody thinks that the new and
added prestige of the President is go
ing to move the stand-patters in the
Republican party on the tariff ques-
ton to do anything looking toward
tariff revision, then he does not know
the temper of the aforesaid RepuD-
lican stand-patters.
The patronage for the new admins
tration has about all been parceled
out and many of the leaders of the
Republican party do not care rap
what the President thinks of them or
their attitude. They are going to re-
fuse to make a river and harbor bill
and many other big appropriation
bills in the hope that it will help to
cut down the deficit in the Treasury,
thereby hurting the internal improve
mentS of the country needed to facili-
tate the commerce of the country, in-i
stead of making the necessary appro-
prations and cutting down the tariff
duties on many articles thereby let
ting in more importations and getting
the necessary revenue to fill the hole
in the Treasury. 1t looks as though
they are also going to stick another
tax on beer and coffee to help in the
filing process. That looks now to
be the reactionary and stand-pat pro-
gram of the Republican leaders.

nal VS.. A. C. |.
Mrs. Rosa L. Jones Sues the Atlantic
and North Carolina for $4,000
Damages. Her Husband Was Killed
On This Road.
Especial to News and Observer.) }

Especial to News and Observer
New Bern N. c., Sept. 21.-Papers
in two interesting suits have been filed
here.
Hon. O. II. Guion, attorney for Mrs.
Rosa l.. Jones, widow of the late w.
II. Jones' who was killed on Decem-
ber 18th, 1904, while he was acting
in the capacity of conductor for the
Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad
Company six miles below New Bern,
entered suit today against tNtt com
pany, and the Atlantic and North Car
olina Company, asking $4,000 dam
ages.
Papers were filed here today in a
suit between Editor Charles L. Stevens,
of the Daily Journal, and the Atlantic
Coast Line Railway, for detention
contrary to the expressed agreement
of the company's agent The case
arises from the conditions surround
ing the accident on the road of the
defendant which happened at Bruce
Creek. near Norfolk bridge, August
18th. In the complaint the plaintiff
alleges that he applied to the com
pany's agent at Norfolk for informa-
ton as to whether he could be as
sured connections with the Atlantic
and North Carolina train leaving
Goldsboro at 3:45 p. M, as it was i'm
pOrt3nt for him to reach his home
i'm New Bern on the evening train OF
August 18th. With the expressed un-
derstanding that such connections
could be made he purchased a ticket
to Goldsboro.
The complaint further alleges that
the plaintiff boarded the train and at
a point in North Carolina met another
train going toward Norfolk on which
were surgeons looking after the
wounded Of the wreck and lawyers en-
gagged in making settlement of claims
for injuries. 1t states that IN to the
point of said meeting the train pro-
Ceeded at less than the usual rate of
speed, and the plaintiff WIS Informed
and believes that the purpose for the
delay was in order to give the agents
Of the defendants time and opportuni-
" to negotiate with the passengers
injured in the wreck. The train was
delayed for a long time and did not
reach Goldsboro 'untils long after the
train for New Bern had left, whereby
the plaintiff was compelled to remain
in Goldsboro over night at great eX-
pense. inconvenience and loss of time,
missing important engagements at
home. He charges that the delay was
Wilful and wanton in absolute diSre-
gard of plaintiffs rights. BY reason
of the delay plaintiff has suffered great
damage in a great sum, to-wit, ten
thousand dollars, as he is informed
and believes; he therefore prays for
a judgment in that sum and such 9TH
er and further relief as he may APP
pear to be entitled.
The case will probably be tried at
the next term of Superior court of
Craven county.
Mr.. Stevens engaged Messrs. w. d.
McIver and r. A. Num- to represent
him in this cause.
