Lawyers.
Superintendent Y. S. Andrews. OF
the Danville division, today explained
that the report that the engine Of the
forward train had gone some distance
ahead of its train when It became de-
tached was erroneous. the fact being
that the engine did not leave the train
o than twenty feet, the air b axes
applying Immediately on the engine
as we'll as on the train. The trouble
was the breaking of a knuckle o. the
drawhead on the front end Of the for
ward car. The trainmen were repair
ing this when the collision occurred
Assistant General superintendent E.
H. COapman states there Is not the
slightest doubt but hat the fagman
made every possible effort to protect
the rear CT the train, but he could not
get around a sharp curve in time to
prevent the collision AS sOon as
Engineer Kenney saw the signal he
applied the emergency brakes and
stayed at his post to the last.
Superintendent Andrews Of the Dan
vile division, left late this afternoon,
having been called to Washington. 1t
was Mr.. Andrews understanding that
the entire official family of the South
ern Railway company had been UNI
moned to Washington to be present
at the funreal of President Spencer.
The Identification vas made this
morning of the negro who was killed
and burned beyond recognition. The
victim was Benjamin Boswell, of To-
ledo, Ohio, a dining car man who was
taken aboard President Spencer's cal
for the trip.
The death of William Pollard, the
negro porter in President Spencer's
private car, and J. w. Shaw, the negro
fireman, both of whom died in the
city hospital here last night, swelled
the death list to eight. The latest
word from the hospital regarding the
injured indicated that all of them are
doing nicely and probably will re-
cover. The escape of E. A. Merrill
of New York, private secretary to Mr.
Spencer, the only survivor in the
party on a private q save {
porter, was miraculous. The injuries
he sustained are not serious and he
will be able to leave the city hospita
here probably by the first of the week

When asked about the matter last
night, Geo. H. Knollenberg stated
orb hn Of t,o
company was the outgrowth of the re-
cent Armstrong insurance investiga-
ton conducted in New York A num-
Der of the policy holders had become
dissatisfied, and had appealed to the
smalleC>policy holders of the company
te~-sain control of the corporation. He
continued to say that the older and
larger policy holders in the company
did not deem it wise to put in a COM
plete new board of trustees, as they
could not handle the interests of the
company with the same degree of sat
1sfaction to all, as the old board had
done. The ticket which the larger
policy holders of the company want
placed in office, is composed of both
old and new men, and it is claimed
men on the board, the business would
not stand the chance of demoraliza-
tion,. that a new board with no old
members would likely cause Mr.
Knollenberg stated that if complete
new board would be placed in office
through the ticket which the Interna-
tional policy holders have placed in
the field, the services of Chas. Pea
body, the present, and wholly capable
president of the company, would be
done away with, which would be a
great loss. If the company's ticket
is elected by the policy holders. ne
said it was very likely that the SER
vices of Peabody as president of the
company will be retained
Fac SMILES of the letter that was
sent to the Richmond policy holder
were sent to all the policy holders in
the United States and were signed by
the large holders in the respective
states.

Brown saved the game in the ninth
by a piece of marvellous pluck and
fielding ability. After Mcfarland,
who batted for Altrock, had gone out
and Hahn had followed suit, Jones
was passed. King allowed a low
pitched to escape him but recovered
the ball Immediately. Jones was
held at first, but OLoughlin motioned
the Sox manager to second claiming
that the ball had hit him. Isbell was
up and the SoX rooterS believed that
the bald headed second baseman
would drive in the necessary run to
tie the score. Isbell landed on a
fast in-shoot and sent it straight over
the pitchers box. 1t looked like
sure hit and run for the Sox. Brown
stuck up his gloved hand. The ball
struck the NIT and knocked the three
fingered twirler fat. Brown seem
dazed but pulled himself together and
tossed Isbell out by a foot, ending the
game and tieing up the series for the
base ball championship of the world.

Elmer Brown, Who Happened to Be
Near When the Accident O.
Cured, was Slightly Hurt.

Elmer Brown, 202 Pearl street, re-
ceived slight wounds in the right leg,
arm and over the eye last Wednesday
by the explosion of a dynamite car
fridge, which he and several other
boys, working at the Henley Roller
Skate factory, found in the dump pile.
Brown, with several other young fell
lows, noticed the cartridge in the
pile, and thought it to be smokeless
powder. One of the fellows struck
the sharp end of a file into the shell
and struck the other end with a ham,
mer. The force of the explosion
drove particles of the shell into
Browns leg. The injuries are not
serious.

Leading by the hand thinly clad and

Cook of Findlay, o., sought John d.
Emmons, undertaken, here, yesterday,
and asked him concerning the death
of her husband, whose body was bur-
led in Garland Brook cemetery here
several days ago. She did not know
that her husband had married anoth-
er woman and deserted her until in
formed so by the undertaken, and then
her grief was pathetic.
Cook was employed on telephone
construction as a lineman, and came
here from Findlay, 0. While here he
made the acquaintance of Mrs. Kate
Ferguson, who had buried her second
husband last June, and she followed
him to Casey, H., where he went to
accept other employment. Nothing
more was heard from him until tele-
gram came from the Ferguson woman
saying he was dead and asking the I'M
dertaker to meet the body. When the
body arrived here Mrs. Ferguson an
nounced that she was married to
Cook in Illinois, few weeks before.
The friends of the dead man here
were not satisfied and started an in
vestigation. Mrs. Cooks visit here
was the result of the inve stigation.
The Ferguson woman sought Mrs.
Cook as soon as she learned the wo-
man was in the city and there appear
ed to be no i'll feeling between them.
Mrs. Cook expressed a desire to see
the body of her husband and she was
taken to the cemetery where the
grave was opened.
While she was making arrange
ments to go to the cemetery. Mrs. Fer
guson, also his widow, stood by her.
She suggested that Mrs. Cook should
not wear hat with red roses on it
when going to the cemetery, and with
the assistance of a knife, removed the
red roses from the woman's hat. She
then accompanied Cooks real widow
to the cemetery.
