about n dozen men, who had been en-
gagged in o~verhauling the car. Those
who were not killed where injured.
The force OF the collision was so great
that the engine OF the limited

the latter was forced half way
through the day coach ahead. At the
time of the accident there was less
than half a dozen passengers on the
train, who were in the forward cars.

Caught the HOrseman.

For some time Mr.. Robert Elliott has
had reason to believe that his horses have
been used at night, as when he would
make preparations for a drive he found
them exhausted. There was an ancient
belief that witches took nocturnal rides
upon horses as well as on human beings,
but in the above instance, it seems, that
the parties were negroes. Late last
night Mr.. Elliott discovered that his
two horses had been taken from the
stable in the rear of his residence on
Duke street, and he, with Officer Nichol-
son, procured buggy and started IN
search of the animals. They we're found
about three miles west of this city near
the Leesburg pike with darkeys mount
ed upon them. Each man had a pint
bottle of whisky in his pocket. The
negroes were brought to this city and
locked up, and this morning they were
arraigned before the Police Court. The
offenders were represented by Col. +.
L. Smith. They gave their names as
Harry and Willis Mcknight. 1t seems
that the first named had been in Mr..
Elliotts employment. His parents live
in the neighborhood of Seminary Hill,
and last night he and Willis Mcknight
entered the stable and rode away on the
horses. No felonious intention on the
part of the darkeys was proven, and
Harrie was fined $50 under The code,
and Willis was dismsse |.

NOT ARTISTIC.

AS manipulation of the whitewash
brush, our good president is no less
strenuous than in his other stunts, and
when that is said it covers the ground
absolutely. He was not in the least
artistic to begin with, and it must be
admitted that in spite of his already
large and growing practice, he holds out
no hope for future improvement along
these lines. His friends are waiting
with what patience they may the reap
pearance of Farmer Wilson. However,
the good mans discernment cannot be
questioned. He only uses the brush on
those of his official family who are in
need of it.

The president has appointed COM
mittee to investigate the methods of
the executive departments of the
government and make recommendations
where the committee finds that reforms
may be effected. This is a step in the
right direction, but it is the first ard
easy step. When committee reports,
assuming that it does it's work WE'LL it
will place before the president many
reforms which ought to be adopted but
the adoption of which will inhame the
angry passions of every spoil-loving
member of congress. Then will come
the presidents opportunity to demon
strate that he has the real interests of
the people at heart, rather than those
of the politicians. Will the president
adopt the opportunity? That remains
to be seen. We hope he will, hut we
have our doubts. The storm of protests
which will be hurled at him by men,
bers of congress with relatives, frien6s
and henchmen drawing salaries from
the government for work they never
perform will exceed even the clamor Of
the stand-patters who dissuaded the
president from carrying out his promise
and calling congress in extra session on
October 10. The broken down politi-
clans who are drawing salaries of from
ST. a year and upward for looking
dignifed and doing nothing in mahogany
chairs will resound through the marble
corridors of all the government officers
and President Roosevelt will have to
turn deaf ear to such noble statesmen
as Senator Tom Plat, Representative
Grosvenor, Senators Steve Elkins and
Nate Scott and the entire crew of polit-
zeal free hooters who constitute the
rank and file Of the republican party
and who remain in congress, not be-
cause of their ability as Legislators, but
because of their cunning in securing
jobs for the influential men of their
state. Silver Messenger.
