saw no electric light at the scene OF
the accident Later found that there
was an electric light there II was
started up by striking the pole"
when started IT could not be seen at
a great distance on account OF the low
fog The rails were damp.
II saw a man named Seth Wood at
the accident but don't know when ne ar
rived. The rear car was held up at the
Riverside car barn in argument about
some passengers.
THE argument was whether or not we
were to take these passengers. as we
chartered the car, but finally they were
allowed 10 ride. This dispute delayed the
rear car five minutes; the foreman OF the
barn said these passengers mast ride and
] gave reluctant consent.
There were ~ passengers on the rear
car and II was supposed that there were
rs passengers on the front car. The in
tention was TO have rs passengers on each
car. but the l6 extra passengers received
at the barn increased the number on the
rear car. and as stated before. there were
81 passengers on the rear car.
when we reached Moore's Corners we
found the front car overturned on the
right side and II was clear of the rails.
The front truck was a short distance
away in the bushes.
THE rear car was the first which passed
around the corner after the accident, ana
II went TO the city to procure assistance.
This brought out the wrecking car. which,
/ think. passed around the corners"
THE fog was not confined TO low
places, but couldn't say how far a light
could be seen. Could not say whether or
not the light went completely out: but

Chickens Come Home to Roost.

Charleston News and Courier.
A writer in the Philadelphia Ledger
offers the opinion that the refusal OF
Mayor Weaver to permit Tom Dix
on's "Clansman" to be played in
Philadelphia brough $4,000 to co.
900 negro votes to the machine"
Republican ticket in Pennsylvania,
and so caused the defeat OF the Re-
form ticket. Whether or not he be
correct, it seems the irony of fate
that in such States as Pennsylvania
the movements OF the righteous in
the direction of better government
are hindered by the negro vote, while
the State governments of the South
remain comparatively free of scan
dal, and the negro vote, for the pres
ent at least, is not a source OF trOu-
BILE. 1t seems a little familiar to
Southern ears when we are told that
the party in Pennsylvania which
spent 5000, 900 in furnishing $4,-
600, 900 capitol, and this during a
few months, depends for existence on
the manipulation OF the negro vote.
Pennsylvania's little neighbor, Del
aware, has been bought and sold in
the market for the last ten years, and
we are told that this also is due to
the presence of purchasable negro
vote. We repeat, it is the irony OF
fate that at any time the enfranchise-
ment of the negroes by the Republi-
can party of the North should be-
come it's plague.
