Was Engine Hoodooed?

Jackson, Miss. March 24.-(Special)-
VIII Lynch. a conductor on the Yazoo
and Mississippi Valley railroad, was
brought to the sanatorium here tonight
suffering with crushed skull, and the
company surgeons spent hours trying to
save his life. Lynch was making an ex-
ira run on the engine that killed jeff
Kernoch n couple of nights previous, and
which other engineers declined to run,
believing 1t hooded. Near johnson sta
ton in South Mississippi, on the main line
of the Illinois Central, Lynch looked out
his cab window and his head came in
contack with mail crane. He has been
unconscious ever since.

WILL SUCCEED WILLIAMS,
General Fletcher viii Be Appointed
Attorney General.

Jackson, Miss. March 24.-(special)-
Governor Vardaman has authorized AS
sistant Attorney General r. V. Fletcher
to state that he will be appointed the sue
cessor of the late lamented Attorney Cen
eral Williams Mr.. Fletcher has really
been the attorney general OF the state for
the past year. General Williams has
been in very bad health, and was seldom
at his headquarters in the capitol, SO that
the duties of the very important office
have fallen on the shoulders of his as
siStant
K. V. Fletcher comes from Pontotoc, in
the northeastern portion of the state. He
was appointed assistant attorney general
about a year and a half ago, taking the
position when 1t was vacated by the resig-
nation of Assistant Attorney General
Flowers. He Is a man of about So or 40
years of age, a successful lawyer, an ele-
CANT gentleman and the legal department
of the state will be in safe hands under
his guidance. Mr. Fletcher has already
announced as a candidate for the office
and has had no opposition to date. Now
that he is appointed to the very impor-
tant post it goes without saying that he
will not have to contest for the honors
with any man.

Up Against Real Article
In the final Work ont

fans and tho team are very optimistic
1t seems probable that they will start
the season with almost a. good train
ing as they had had long after the sea-
son started IN some past years, and with
favorable Thermometers from now until
the first game, the fans may expect
to some warm stunts IN ball playing
from the first clang Of the gong.
Everyone is watching with interest the
new players on the team, especially
Mite, who is showing up as an all round
good ballplayer. He Is fast, has a good
head, and seems to have a good under
standing OF the file points of the ma
tional game. He is ready and willing TO

them will be attached to the team as
utility man. Alcock probably has the

the Southern league before, which is
distinct advantage, while on the other
hand Mite can catch as well as play
the infield.

Wells Retires From Race.

Jackson, Miss, March 2i.--(Special)--
John 4. Wells, candidate for state treas
urer, announces that he has quit the
race. Mr.. Wells was counted a winner by
his friends at Jackson. He has been sec
rotary to the board of control during the
present state administration, but went
out when the railroad commissioners were
showed out as board of control by the
legislature. He is accounted one of the
very best office men in the state, but
there are any numper of cotton buyers
and dealers with whom the board of con-
troll has had extensive dealings during
the past three years who have discoy cred
that Mr.. Wells is one of the best posted
cotton men in the country, and since his
retirement from office they have been
after his services. 1t is supposed one of
them has secured him, as he gives as a
reason for getting out of the treasurer's
race that his business engagements are
such he cannot make the canvass.

POBIEDONOSTSEFF
WAS GREAT LEADER
HIS DEATH IS ACCEPTED AS AN
EPOCH IN THE POLITICAL HIS
TORY OF THE RUSSIAN EN-
PRE-

st. Petersburg March 24.-The newspa-
pers today call attention to the death of
NJ. Pobiedonostseff, ex-procurator general
of the Holy synod. and unite in appre-
citation of his commanding personal quail
ifications, irreproachable character, indie
fatigable energy, deep erudltion and great
powers of mind and will, by reason of
which he was the most dangerous enemy
to Russian liberty. The ultimate failure
of all the aims to which he had conse-
Grated his life permits the country to
judge him without rancor.
His death Is accepted as the boundary
between the sombre epoch when his
guidance was supreme and the new era
of liberty against which he fought In
exorably, the sight of a complete triumph
of which history spared him. The great
est interest Is attached to the apprecla-
ton of him by Professor Milukoff edi-
tor of the Reich, which the guiding per-
sonality of the new era estimates the
career of the guiding spirit of the old
with Pobiedonostsef, a whole era OF
Russian history sinks into the grave. To
him personally Russia is indebted for
the twenty-five years of postponement of
constitutional life, which has made the
delayed process of liberation so stormy
and painful now" says Professor Milu-
koff. AS the mentor of Alexander Ill.
he personally was the author of the IA
nous manifesto about the maintenance Of
autocracy which blasted the hopes awak-
ened by the reforms OF Alexander III.
His role in reactionary circles was pc
culiar. Aversion to a change In the or
ganic law was n trait of Pobiedonostseff
which grew with his passing years and
led him to try to stamp out every mani
festo of life
'Pobiedonostseff personally was ire
proachable. He never was suspected of
selfish motives and did not seek power
or influence These came naturally be-
cause of the dreadful death of men in
Russia left him without a competitor in
the chief sphere of influence. When he
lost influence he stepped out without a
struggle. combining himself to an old
mans mutterings of predictions of an I'M
avoidable future of cataclysms."

SENSATIONS ARE
STILL PROMISED
GRAND JURY CONTINUES WORK
OF PROBING ALLEGED CORRUP-
TON BY ABRAHAM RUFF OF
SAN FRANCISCO.

San Francisco, March 24-The coming
week promises to be as productive as
the past one in sensation relative to the
investigation of municipal corruption that
is being prosecuted by the grand jury. 1t
is expected that decision will be rem
dered tomorrow by the supreme court of
the United States on the petition of Abra-
ham Reuf on a writ Of error. If Reufs
petition is refused the prosecution will
proceed in superior Judge DUNES court
Tuesday with the empanellment of jury
to try Ruef on the charge Of extortion
in what is known as the French res
taurant cases." If it is granted the trial
of Ruef will be postponed a while.
Tomorrow afternoon the Jury will re-
sumo it's probing into the alleged bribery
of the board OF supervisors by the tele-
phone and other public service corpora
lions.
1t is announced that the prosecution
has retained an attorney to proceed to
Honolulu and interrupt Il. V. Halsey, who
has been indicted on eleven counts on
the charge of bribery, for the purpose of
endeayoring to persuade Halsey to ap-
pear before the grand jury OIL his arrival
here. Halsel is now en- route from Manila
in charge of a detective,
The prosecution is momentarily expect
ing to hear of the arrest of Louis Glass,
former manager OF the Pacific States
Telephone and Telegraph company, and A.
*. Detwler OF Toledo, o., against whom
indictments for bribery were returned
yesterday.
In addition to the revelations coming
from the jury room public interest is di-
rected toward the regeneration of the
city in view of the alleged confessions of
corruption by members of the board of
supervisors. One story Is to the effect
that supervisors, before appearing before
the grand jury secured pledges from the
prosecuting officials that they would
neither be prosecuted or removed from
office in return for their evidence.
An intimation that those back of the
prosecution were planning to assume con-
troll of the municipal affairs by virtue of
their power over the Supervisors is
strongly denied at the district attorneys
office.

The Barons commence week of strer-
uous practice today, clashing IN several
games with the big league teams. 1t might
really be called the most important Of
tho practice weeks, for It Is the time
when a player may easily override and
injure himself for month or more, or
make or break himself for an entire
season.
The weather has been ideal for training
and the team Is farther advanced in this
department than 1t was last year at this
time, probably two or three weeks farther
advanced. The weather has enabled the

a divorced woman. and have since re-
married.
In these brief words Mrs. Reagan told
the story of her life, and n chapter in the
long history of Dan Reagan, man whose
reputation for the last twenty years
was uone too good. She did not appear
affected by the discovery of her husband
from whom she had been so long divorced.
His Many Wives.
She stated that she had since heard OF
his career, how he was travelling all over
the country marrying wives at every
lurn. She alleged that he had as many
as three in Alabama.
So positive she was of his identity that
she was willing to swear to 1t. When
asked If he had any marks that she might
remember him by she described infinitely
and correctly the scar on his right arm.
Although she had not seen him for thir-
teen years she was sure she could not

Mrs. Brown has since her remarriase

Twenty-second avenues. She stated that

The coroner is especially anxious to get
hold of these two parties in order to veri-
fly the Identification. To his mind, the
statement of the woman is conclusive,
but he would like to get all the evidence.
and if the parties live in Pratt City they
will be apt to claim the body to give
it a decent burial.

Reulbach is one of the star figures in
