The excitement of the day came
with the proceedings in the Court of
Superior Judge Thomas Graham,
where the nineteenth and final mem
Der of the new grand jury was
chosen. 1t was expected that the
court would recognize either Lang
don or Ruef as district attorney.
Worried BY Deputy Sheriff.
When the jury had been completed
Heney made objections to the actions
of a deputy sheriff who had several
times attempted to search him. Ruef
said the deputy was acting under his
instructions, it being Ruef's belief
that Heney was armed. The court
warned the deputy to cease annoying
Heney.
Ruef then attempted to address the
Judge as an officer of the court, but
Heney objected to Ruef's assuming
such right. Judge Graham declined
to pass on the issue, saying that he
would not at that time settle the dis
pute, or recognize any one as an Off
Ger of the court. He refused to hear
any further argument on the subject.
Ruef obtained permission to speak
as an attorney at the bar, and de-
clared that he wished to proceed with
an examination into the qualifica-
lions of certain grand jurymen.
Heney interrupted, saying that the
first thing that he intended to pre-
sent to the grand jury was evidence
supporting the charges of felony
and misdemeanor against Ruef.
At this juncture another objection
came from u. s. Webb, attorney gen.
eral for the State, who declared that
the court should not permit such
statements to be made before the
grand jury, which was present, as
it might disqualify them, and he
averred that there was a possibility
that they had already been disquali-
fed.
Webb then asserted that he intend
ed to assume charge of the matters
now be fore the court.

A DAY FOR THANKSGIVING
President Roosevelt Issues His Pro-
clamation.

Washington Especially President
Roosevelt Tuesday afternoon issued
his annual Thanksgiving proclama-
ton, setting Thursday, November 80,
as the date.
1t reads as follows:
The time of year has come when,
in accordance with the wise custom
of our forefathers, it becomes my
duty to set aside a special day of
Thanksgiving and praise to the AL
mighty because of the blessings we
have received and of prayer that
these blessings may be continued.
Yet another year of widespread we'll
being has past Never before in our
history, or in the history of any
other nation, has people enjoyed
more Astounding material prosperity
than is ours-a prosperity so great
that it should arouse in us no spirit
of reckless pride, and least of all a
spirit of needless disregard of our re-
sponsibilities, but rather sober sense
of our many blessings and resolute
purpose, under Providence, not to
forfeit them by any action of our
own.
Material well being, indispensable
though it is, can never be anything
but the foundation of true national
greatness and happiness. If we build
nothing upon this foundation then
our national life will be as mean
ingless and empty as a house where
only the foundation has been laid.
Upon our material we'll being must
be built superstructure of individ-
ual and national life, lived in ac-
cordance with the laws of the high
est morality or else our prosperity
itself will, in the long run, turn out
curse instead of a blessing. We
should be both reverently thankful
for what we have received, and earn
estly bent upon turning it into
means of grace and not of iestruc-
ton
Accordingly, 1 hereby set apart
Thursday, the 10Th day of November
next, as day of Thanksgiving and
supplication on which the people
shall meet in their homes or their
churches, devoutly acknowledge all
that has been given them and to
pray that they may, in addition, re-
ceive the power to use these gifts.
alright.
In witness whereof I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
Done in the city of Washington
this 22d of October, in the year of
our Lord one thousand nine hundred
and six, and of the Independence of
the United States the one hundred
and thirty first. (Signed)
Theodore Roosevelt.

Soldier At 0 Years Old.

Washington Especially The con-
troversey as to who was the youngest
soldier of the Civil War probably has
been settled in favor of Perry Ryan,
of Seattle, Wash. He enlisted as
drummer boy in Company D, Twenty
fourth Iowa Volunteers, on August
%, 1862, at the age of years and
10 months. He was born October %,
1852, in Kane County, Illinois, but
enlisted from Mount Vernon, Iowa.
After serving nearly year he was
honorably discharged on a surgeons
certificate of disability The Pen
sion Office has investigated Ryan's
papers and found that his represen-
tations are correct.

Atlantic City, N. J. (SpeciaD -
The bridge spanning the Thorough
fare, the body of water separating
Atlantic City from the mainland, was
the scene of terrible disaster Sun
day afternoon The 1 o'clock fast
electric train of three cars from Phil
adelphia on the Pennsylvania West
Jersey and Seashore Line, due mere
at 2.3O, jumped the track at the draw
on the bridge, and three cars were
plunged into the swift tideway, two
sinking in 80 feet of water. The
third car hung partly on an abutment
of the bridge, and the rear end was
suspended long enough to permit
some of the passengers to escape.
Men, women and children in the first
two cars were drowned like rats in
trap, less than a half score escaping
through broken windows.
The list of dead is expected to
reach 55 to 60. 1t is estimated that
there were about so to 100 people
on the train The line is operated
by the third-rail system. Survivors
of the tragedy are scattered through
out the city, and it is impossible to
tell exactly how many escaped, but
it is believed about 20 were taken
out by rescuers or managed to
smash their way through broken
windows and to reach the top of the
water, where most of them were
picked UP by boatmen, who witnessed

CAUSE OF DISASTER.

Electric train of three cars on
the Pennsylvania West Jersey
and Seashore Line jumped track
on trestle bridge over Thorough
fare" near Atlantic City, and
three cars dropped into 80 feet OF
water.
Reported to have been caused
by a rail turning in"
The rail, an outside one, was
probably out of plumb the frac-
ton of an inch. The sharp f1ange
of the car wheels caught this and
twisted it inward.
The twist threw the first car
off the track and into the water,
dragging the others after it.
Pennsylvania Railroad officials
say the track was in good condi-
ton and the draw properly locked
and until the cars are raised the
cause of the accident cannot be
determined.
A yacht passed through the
draw a short time before the ac-
cident. Daniel B. Stewart, the
bridge-tender, who is 65 years
old, seems bereft of his reason
since the accident.

REBOUNDS into THE RIVER
Eleven Hurt When Flyer Side-Swipes
a Freight.

Pittsburg, Pa. Especial Running
at speed estimated at so miles an
hour, the fast train between Cleve-
land and Pittsburg on the Fort
Wayne Road, known as the "Cleve-
land flyer was side-sWiped by the
caboose of a freight train near Belle
vue Station. Five trainmen were in
jured in the wreck, all OF whom Will
recover. A score of passengers were
cut by flying glass, but none was
seriously hurt. They were brought
to this city on wreck train that
reached the scene IS minutes after
the accident and proceeded on their
journey. Their wounds were dressed
by physicians that had been sent out
from this city The collision with
the caboose threw the engine down
an embankment 80 feet high, and it
slid into the Ohio River. The bag
gage car with two passenger coaches
were thrown across the rails. The
destruction of the former was COM
plete, but none of the passenger cars
was injured beyond the breaking of
windows.
At least four persons were serious
ly injured and many others sustained
cuts and bruises.
According to the statement of
some of the passengers, the special
was coming to the city on the outer
tracks, these being on the side near
est the river. When the engine
jumped the track it took quick turn
to the inner tracks and collided with
a freight train that had been stand
ing on these tracks. After the COLI
sion the engine and tender were
thrown again to the outer tracks
AS a result of the collision the Win
dows in the combination baggage and
smoker car were broken and the
glass in the next two coaches was
also smashed. The combination car
and the two following cars then
Jumped the tracks, but the dining
car and the Pullman remained on
the tracks.
The fireman and engineer, as soon
as they noticed that their engine had
left the tracks, Immediately applied
the brakes and shut off the steam,
helping, in this way, to lessen the
force of the collision they could not
avoid. When the collision did take
place. the two men were thrown from
their cabs and both dropped over
35-foot bank, rolling down to the
brink of the Ohio River The freight
train escaped with comparatively
slight damage, the Gaboose and one
freight car being wrecked.

SUES FOR HIS SKIN.
Man Charges More Was Taken Than
He Bargained To Give.

Cincinnati, o. Especially William
G. Doll, who alleges that an amount
of cuticule much greater than bar
gained for was taken from him
under a skin-grafting contract, en-
tered suit for $4,000 damages
against j. S. Atkins, George A. Fack-
Ter and John G. Oliver, the latter two
prominent Cincinnati physicians and
surgeons.
The plaintiff says that he agreed
that a strip of skin one by six inches
should be taken from his leg, but
while he was under the influence of
an anesthetic skin was cut from both
legs to the extent of AZ inches.
The case grows out of an auto
mobile accident in which Atkins was
injured, and it was for his benefit
the skin was taken.
