CLARK RAN GAMUT OF CRIME.

Crazed by drink and by disappoint-
ment in love affair, James Fl. Clark,
a telegraph operator at the little town
of Chamblee, dozen miles north of
Atlanta, began last week a rampage of
crime. In less than twenty-four hours
he had killed one man, severely wound
ed three others, slightly wounded a
fifth and dubbed sixth with shot
gun, set fire to the home of one OF his
victims, aud when surrounded by a
posse shortly after noon shot himself
through the heart.
Clark, who came some months ago
from Baldwin, Ga, paid marked atten-
ton to the niece Of E. Purcell. but was
discouraged. He went to the Purcell
home and demanded admittance, which
was refused. He set fire to the kitch-
en-, and when Purcell and son, wv. J.
Purcell, appeared to fight the flames,
Clark fired upon them, wounding both.
Returning about midnight, Clark made
another attempt to set fire to the

and a director in many corporations:

money power. He was willing, but
he became famous. | am right and

The president did not finish the
sentence, but he sent cold chills down
the spine of the plutocratic senator.
To another visitor the president
spoke of the revelations of graft and
favoritism in the management or even
the greatest railroads. as disclosed in
the Pennsylvania railroad scandal.
and said that the managers had got
to realize that the railroads were in
deed common carriers. nothing more,
nothing less. They must treat all
customers alike, great and small The
monopolist the law breaker. the cor
poration corruptionist, the bride
taker, the drone. the plutocrat and
the parasite must be driven out. Then
