Mr.. Spcnccr's railroad career had a
most humble beginning. When he left
the University Of Virginia in 1869,
after taking course in civil engin-
cerlng, he entered the employ of the
Savannah and Memphis railroad and
was assigned to work as Il rod man
with surveying crew. In the sue
ceeding three years he worked gradu-
ally up to the position Of principal
assistant engineer Of the road. In
1872 he left the Savannah and Mem
phls to become clerk to the superin-
tcndcnt of the New Jersey Southern
railroad, and year later became as
sistant supervisor of trains for the
first division of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad. In 1877 he became SUP
erintedent of Transportation for the
Virginia Midland railroad, and a
year later was made general supcrin-
tcndcnt of the Long Island railroad
The end of another year found him
assistant to the president of the Bal
timorc and Ohio. One year later he
WAS acting as assistant general man.

the same road, and in the next six
| years he became succesSively third
vicc-presidcnt, scond vice president
and first vice-presidcnt. He was elect
ed president Of the entire system in
1887, retaining this position for one
year. A few months after his retire
mcnt from the presidency Of the Bal
timorc and Ohio he became associated
with the firm Of j. P Morgan & Co.,
and assumed the direction of that
company's railroad enterprises.

lively ut work and had succeeded in
convincing Governor Terrell that the
new evidence presnetcd was suffi-
cicnt to warrant stay of execution
III order that further investigation
might be had.
II was after II o'clock when the
governor reached his decision and the
only means Of notifying the sheriff
was by long distance telephone. The
hanging was to have occurred at Cor
dele, Ga, and the governor secured a
quick connection with that point over
the Bell Telephone lines and notified
the sheriff of the RESPITE.
The call was close one for Bun
Arick. Had the message come q few
minutes later or had there been any
delay, the execution would have TAX
cn place and the respite reached it's
destination too late. This use of the
long distance telephone, while not a
new one, demonstrates the possibility
of this agency and its efficiency in
accomplishing important results in
quick time.

Sketch of Mr.. Spencer's Life.

New York, Nov. 29.-Samuel
Spencer, president Of the Southern
Railway company. who was killed in
wreck of train on the Southern
railway near Lynchburg today, was
n resident of Washington. but his
business headquarters were in this
city. lie was one of the most promin-
ent railroad men in the United States
and for nearly 20 years had been at
the head of one or more great rail
road enterprises. At the time Of his
death, in addition to tho Sout hern, lie
was president and director in the
Alabama Great Southern Railroad
company, the Cincinnati, New Or
leans and Texas Pacific Railway
company, tho Georgia Southern and
Florida Railway company, and the
Mobile and Ohio Railroad company.
He was also director for the Gen.
tral Railway Of Georgia, the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul Railroad
company, the Erie Railroad company,
the Northern Pacific company and
other corporations. Mr. Spencer was
president Of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad company in 1887 and 1888
and later was appointed receiver for
the Richmond and Danville Railroad
company and for the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia Railway COM
pany. He was d member OF the Rapid

markers, then the cause of the acci-
dent was at Lawyers and not at Ran
goon. Only an official investigation
will reveal this.
At 1890 O'Clock it was asccrtaincd
from. reliable source that ID. j. Mad
doaX, the operator nj Rangoon, who
was on duty at the time of the acci-
dent, has disappeared and he cannot
be found, although railway officials
have made an effort to locate him.
Davis End Was Pathetic.
Dispatcher Davis was alive when
he was taken from under the wreck
age. He was crushed about the lower
portion of the body and was conscious
to the end. He asked that word be
sent to his wife and child. The death
of Mr. Davis was touching. He stat
ed to his rcscucr that he knew he was
dying and knew that the end could
not be far of. "Place your finger on
my MOUTH" he said "It feels so
cool and good.' He pleaded with
the gentleman, who was also a pas
scnger on the train, not to leave him,
and for 10 minutes the man stayed
with him until he saw that nothing
could be done for him.
+. NJ. Curtis Of Jamestown, N. Y,
who was a passenger on the Jackson
vile train, saw one negro porter 60
through lady's grip. He saw him
throw away such things as were of
no value to him and appropriated
those things that he wanted. Mr.. Cur
It's declared that he would have GER
tainly killed the porter if he had
something TO do it with.
"In the rear of the Pullman, which
was smashed,' said Mr.. Curtis,
"there was a mother with six
months-oid babe. They were in n
drawing room which had hcrn smash
ed. but. strange to say. they were
not hurt in the slightest They were
gotten ont and taken Ia safety. AS
far as | know the train attaches did
not aid in the first relief because they
had gone both ways to protect the
two trains from other and more SER
ious trouble.
EcrojSm Of Injured Negroes.
GONE of the things that struck me
fnrcihly was the heroic manner in
which the col"rcd passengers who
were injured bore their suffcrings.
There was practically not Il sound
from them. They were laid out in
the fields adjoining the railway,
where they remained for several
hours until they could be placed in
a coach and brought to the city,"

handed to him by lady. lie does
not know to whom il belongs and why
