A bad wreck occurred on the Allan
tic Coast Line yesterday morning =
short distance from Leland Station.
(which is s miles from this city. For
Itunately no one was killed but seven
teen passengers were injured, none OF
them, however, seriously. The train
which met with the accident was, No.
81 bound from Wilmington to Charles
ton and which left here at 6 o'clock.
The accident occurred at Gas and at
the time the train is said to have been
running at the speed of about As miles
lper hour.
AS stated above, none of the passen-
Igers were badly hurt and those that
were injured were either bruised or
lcut about the face and hands with
!glass. The list of the injured is as
follows:
Captain Warren l.. Jones, conductor.
George Catlett, John Hill Bunting, Fl.
ID. Henderson, G. r. Speight, Eli Cave
lnaugh, B. J. Applewhite, G. Morse, all
Iof this city; J. H. Dinglehoef, George
A. Paine, Philadelphia; W. T. Aycock,
P. H. Sears, Whiteville; J. e. Young
blood, Atlanta; H. H. Elliott, Flor
Ience; G. A. Mebane, Greensboro; E. L.
IStallings, Columbia; Norwood Sricar,
IGoldsboro.
Several of the above received a Sc
were nervous shock and Mr.. Stallings,
iof Columbia, was perhaps more Sc
!riously hurt than any or the passen-
Igers, but his injuries are not danger
|ous by any means, his worst injuries
being cuts on the head and face. AS
soon as the news of the accident was
learned in this city a relief train with
several physicians on board was sent
Ito the scene of the accident. Two cars
were carried ON the relief train, which
left here shortly after Z o'clock.
CAUSED BY BROKEN RAIL.
The accident occurred at a small
|~trestle only a short distance this side
lof Leland. A rail was broken and it
is not known whether it was broken
by the engine of the passenger train
Tor by a freight which was only a short
distance ahead of the passenger train.
Engine and nail car OF the train pass
ed over the broken rail safely, both re-
maining on the track, but the baggage
car was derailed and 50 was the sec,
Iond and first class cars, the latter hav-
ing rolled down a five-foot embank-
ment. The broken rail was a few
yards to the north of the trestle and
the cars went Off there and were drag
ged over the trestle on the cross-ties.
The first class car rolled down the en-
bankment just after reaching the
lsouthern bank. The other cars re-
|mained in an upright position with
their wheels buried in the dirt. The
track from the point where the cars
Iwere derailed to where they stopped
lon the southern side of the trestle was
absolutely demolished. There were
Iabout thirty-ive passengers on the
train and all Of them were in the first

NO DEALS.

The managers of the Republican campaign
have taken the right course in absolutely Ne
fusing to sanction any combination on local
tickets with Hearst's Independent League No
doubt there are certain number Of offics seek
ers in Tammany districts who would be glad
TO take advantage of the local jealousies be-
tween Hearst's regulars and Hearst's Indepen-
dents, but these self-seekers should either be
suppressed or driven out. Republicans are not
making campaign for their benefit They
are making a campaign In behalf Of law, or
der and decency and against Hearstsm in its
every phase. They have no terms to make with
Hearst, and no desire TO profit by his votes
for any part Of their ticket He is welcome
TO make his combinations with Murphy or, after
his long silence on the subject, TO begin once
more his denunciatton of the Tammany boss
lit only for Sing Sing
Republicans, with the aid of decent Demo
Gratis, will face Murphy and Hearst whether
with the Kaleidoscope changes of their selfish
interests they are for the moment in harmony
or at odds. Whatever appearance of moral
force in the Hearst movement of last year may
have deluded Republicans in some Assembly
districts into cooperating with Municipal Own
ership men. it is now clear that the Hearst
organization was entirely selfish In it's aims
and its attitude toward the Tammany which
1t pretended 10 despise is controlled entirely
by calculation and is likely TO change at any
moment. No good can come from cooper
a'ion with the Hearst machine at any point.
Whether In alliance or antagonism, both
Hearst and Murphy represent evil forces in
our politics. and it is far better to leave q
few Republican candidates for the Assembly
at home than to make terms with either II
Republican candidates for minor offices are rum
ming for principle. they will not desire a dis
creditable alliance. If they are merely running
TO get office regardless Of their honor or that
Of the party, the more certainly they are de-
feated the better. We would rather have bad
Hearst man or a bad Tammany man in the
Legislature than bad Republican.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1906-10-10

Immediately preceding the present year were
respectively az, 1900 and 1.184, while this year
there is decrease Of 1,472. Most noteworthy
is the East District, where the three years In
creases were 1000 1,772 and 1892, and where
this years decrease is 24e4 a change OF more
than $500. In the Poplar union there has been
decrease OF 2,52S. and seventeen other unions
all show decreases.
There is. Of course. no question that this Is a
result OF the Poplar investigation. There Is
probably about much actual pauperism as
ever, but there is not so much bogus affected
pauperism. nor SO much graft" in connection
with the administration OF the Poor law. The
investigation compelled the stopping Of abuses
in the place where 1t held, and gave to
all other parts Of the city salutary warning
TO abate abuses there or take the consequences.
That is what was accomplished through an In
vestigation which conducted In a practi-
cal, businesslike manner, devoid Of stralnin9
after sensational effects and with no purpose
of advancing the interests Of some self-adver-
Using politician
