KILLED AT THE NAVY YARD.
Dies in Fall of Forty Feet to Bottom
Of the Pit.

The second victim of the braces at
the quay wall being built at the. Char
lesion navy yard dock met his death
Wednesday when Joseph Smith, col
ored, fell from a brace of the south
Golfer dam wall into the pit over 40
feet below and was crushed to death.
The Post says Smith, who was en-
pIoyed by the New York JeWell-Con-
tinental Filtration Company, as a lab
orer went to work Wednesday after
noon at about 4 o'clock. He was too
impatient to get his working number
and instead of waiting for the time
keeper, G.. A. Estes, to come to him
on the north wall as was the custom,
he started to cross to the timekeeper.
In making his way over he stepped
anon a brace, and hesitating for a
moment looked backward. AS he did
so he brushed his shoulder against
the stone work and fell from the sup
port to the bottom of the basin be-
low. He hit with great force and life
was crushed out of his body imme-
diately. His face was mashed H. ano
his bones broken by the fall.

GIVEN SIX YEARS.
Berry Pleaded Guilty to Forgery and
EmbeZZlement.

G. Raymond Berry, %ex-county sup
erintendent of education of Marion
county, having pleaded guilty of for
gerry, was sentenced by Judge DANTE
Ter to six years in the State peniten-
tiary and a fine of 500. \
The prisoner submitted to the
court a written statement which re-
cited that the defendant was the only
support of an invalid wife and three
small children; that the defendant
himself was threatened with a ser1-
Gus pulmonary trouble; that the
beenn made good to the. .Sierntnf
amounts Incorporated had all
been made good to the county, and
that the defendant and. his family
one of much responsibility, had suf-
fered long and deep humiliation or
account of the pending charges
against him. The statement ended
with a petition that the court be as
merciful as possible in view OF. al!
the circumstances.
Solicitor Spears stated that re
would consent to the court being as
merciful as possible, and Judge Dan
tzler stated that out of regard fol
his physical condition he would moi
Impose the full seven years allowed
by law, but that it would be necessary
for him to impose a heavy sentence
as a warning to other public officers
who might be derelict in their duty

MUCH LOSS OF LIFE.
Startling Figures of Dangers OF
Travel in New York City.

From August 5 to September L the
Accidents Averaged One in One
Hour an Twenty-Five Minutes.
Every fifteen hours a life is lost in
New York city under the wheels of a
passenger car, surface, elevated OF
steam. This fact has been brought
out by Secretary Travis H. Whitney,
Of the public service commission in
a table giving a record he had kept
of transportation accidents from
August 5 to September /.
In these 26 days, 145 persons were
hurt in car collisions, and 465 in col
lisions between cars and vehicles.
Once in each hour and Twenty-Five
minutes of the period some person
was struck by a car, making a total
of 4O5. Sixty-four persons were in
iured in boarding cars and 1888
were injured in alighting from them,
which goes to show that at least that
number of New Workers have not yet
learned to face forward when getting
off street cars.
EMPLOYEES to the number of GAL
were hurt; 33 persons were hurt IN
derailments; 26 prospective passen-
gers fell down stairs and 1881 per-
sons were hurt in unclassified ways.
A total of $500 were either killed "r
injured in the 26 days.

LIES TEN HOURS IN COFFIN
Gruesome Experience of a Victim o
Fraternity Initiation.

Fraternity Initiation.
To lie for ten hours in a coffin, to
see through the glass covering over
his face the glimmer of candles, Was
the fate of Roy Lorraine, a student
of the Dubukue High School, who
was the victim Of frat initiation.
The young man, being OF the
nerveless kind, was to be submitted
to the most trying order. Gagged
and bound he was taken under cover
of night to a farm in the vicinity OF
the city. Here he was escorted to
cellar long in disuse and led down the
stairway.
Candles we're lighted and placed
about in inches in the wall and young
Lorraine, blindfolded, was induced to
lie down in what seemed to him
box, and the cover was fastened. Tn
covering soon was removed from his
eyes, and he awoke to the realization
that he was in a coffin.
There was sufficient air to keeT
him from smothering and he remain
ed there all through the night. Earl!
in the morning he was released by
some friends.

ply to prevent fraud after transaction
between the holder of the bond and
the States had terminated.
"The question:" the opinion con-
tinues, whether the petitioner is a
bona fde holder is not ministerial
but strictly judicial in is nature and
the action of the treasurer is not
subject to review by the court"
The attorney general, however, did
not urge this question nor the ques-
ton as to the actual notice the hold
err had that the bond was not good.
However, the right of the treasurer
to issue a certificate of stock is a
question Of power and must be de-
termined under the act of 1892,
which clearly shows that the legisla-
ture had under contemplation but one
issue of stock for a bond and the
treasurer Is not authorized to make
a second issue. The bond DEBT
cases are quoted to uphold this;
where the court held that bonds in
the hands of bona fide holders only
be regarded as yaldi debts.
AS to the issuance of additional
stock, Justice Gary holds that if the
act be construed that way there
would be no reason why there should
not be a third and fourth issue. "The
case, as quoted above, that bonds is
sued without authority of law are
void even in the hands Of bona f1de
holders is clearly law" The opinion
then holds that the duty enjoined
upon the treasurer to issue a second
certificate is ministerial; the court
has not power in mandamus proceed
ings and the action is in in effect a
suit against the State, which is I'm
constitutional.
AS stated, this decision means a
suit on the bonds of DR.. w. T. C..
Bates and Messrs. W. H. Zimmerman
and R. H. Jennings, the State Treas
urers who employed the clerk. 1t is
presumed these suits will be started
w -Ss.

PLAIN TALK FROM BISHOP.
He Thinks the Pulpit Needs "Mor
Virility and Less Effeminacy.

"What we want is more virillty
and less effeminacy," said Bishop ".
A. Gambler before the assembled
Methodist ministers of Atlanta at the
regular conference on last Monday.
"We've got to be more vigorous.
We have a big work to perform, II
we want to show that we mean husl-
ness"
Bishop Gambler was talking of the
layman's missionary movement, anc
the recent meeting at Knoxville,
Tenn, and said he had noticed a ten
dency in the men to drop away from
the church.
"They are leaving things to the
women" he continued. "This is moi
hard to account for. Pretty little curl
ed up speeches and curled up w3rcs
don't draw men. They draw men =
away. It's plain, straight talk and
hard works and business actions that
attack the kind of people we are
after. We need virility. The men
must be fed with something maal''

TO COLONIZE NEGROES.
Company Seeking Incorporation IL
State of California.

The project to establish a large
colony of negroes in southern Cali
fornia is being promoted by an asso-
| citation to seek state incorporation.
One of the promoters is Lieutenant
Colonel Allensworth,, formerly a
chaplain in the army. Several million
dollars is said to represent the
wealth Of the negroes and back of
the movement.
Colonel Allensworth said that COM
mittees of the association will soon
visit the 10000 acre track in River
side and San Diego Counties and is
satisfied that they will purchase the
land.
The colony, he said, will not be
communistic, the land simply will be
offered in small tracks at low prices.
The object is to establish a prosper
Gus colony where negroes will have
the opportunity to work under fav-
orable conditions. Literature describ-
ing the plan will be sent broadcast
throughout the South.

SANK TO DEATH.
Sixteen People Drowned in At
tempting to Cross a River.
A FERRY BOAT SINKS

Nm the Middle of the Tombigbee and
ALI the Occupants Except Two Are
Drowned-One of the Victims Was
the Son Of the United States Engi.
neer and the Fifteen Others Were
Negroes.
Leslie Verneuille, a white boy, of
Mobile, and fifteen negroes were
drowned in the Tombigbee river at
McCrew's shoals, shortly after noon
Thursday, while crossing the river in
a ~ferryboat from the governments
works where they were employed.
They we're on their way to dinner
when the accident occurred.
About midstream the little boat
drifted beyond control of the men
into the rapids and soon capsized.
Two of the negroes in the boat
scrambled on top as it overturned
but the other occupants were thrown
into the swift current and were
drowned almost instantly. On &C
count of the strong undercurrent res
cues were impossible.
The young white boy drowned is
the son of w. B. Verneuille, the chief
engineer in charge of the government
work at the shoals. Their home is
at Oakdale, a surburb of Mobile. The
boy was not employed at the works
but was there on a visit to his father
and was returning home when the
accident occurred.
The Tombigbee river at the point
where the boat capsized is very
treacherous and has long been con-
sidered too dangerous for naviga-
ton. McGrews shoals is about one
hundred. miles up the river from Mo-
bile and there is no telegraph or tel
ephone communication with the
Mace.

SUFFERED AGoNIES
Woman Tortured to Death to Dis
pei Evil Spirits

Before She Was Released by Death
Son, Daughter and Three Others
Gave Her Violent Treatment
A report: from Chicago says five
People, members of the sect Of Par
hamites, r under arrest at Zion
City. accused Of torturing to death
Mrs. Letitia Greenlaugh, Ga years
old, a cripple for twenty years with
rheumatism, to show their belief in
the religion they profess.
The people under Arrest are: Wal
ter and Jennie Greenlaugh, son and
daughter of the woman; Harold Nit
chell, Mrs. Harold Mitchell, and a
Mrs. Smith.
The sect of Parhamites was found
ed about a year ago, by Charles Par
ham, and numbers about 200. The
members originally belonged to Dow
les church. Their theory of sickness
is evidence Of the possession Of the
body by evil spirits
The condition of Mrs. Greenlaugh
convinced her o and daughter and
the others arrested that she possess
ed the evil spirit. They knelt by her
bedside and after praying commenced
work. 49,.
The arms Of Mrs. Greenlaugh,
stiffened by rheumatism were twisted
about in order that the devil might
be driven out. The cries Of the aged
woman were considered those Of the
evil spirit, and we're greeted with tri-
umphant shouts.
After a course of tbs violent treat
ment Mrs. Greenlaugh not only be-
came so weak she could not use her
limbs, but became incaable Of making
any motions. Then her neck was
twisted for some time.
At the coroner's inquest young
Greelaugh testified that his mothers
consent was obtained before the
treatment was commenced.

TRAIN VICTIM IDENTIFIED
As Man Who Wanted Roosevelt t,
Collect Debt Of $4,000, O0O.

The police believe that the body OF
a man killed by a train, which was
picked up on the West Shore tracks
near Hackensack, N. j., on Friday is
that of Orlando Toland, the man who
startled the secret service men at
Sycamore Hill by appearing close to
the Presidents house on Tuesday
night.
The man, who was undoubtedly in
sane, said that he had travelled from
his home in Oxford, Ala, to employ
President Roosevelt to collect for him
a debt of $5O,00O,000 from John D.
Rockefeller.
Toland said that he would start
West to find Mr.. Rockefeller to COL
lect the debt. A description Of To-
land, received from his sister In Ala
bama, agrees with that Of the dead
man. - 4

RESCUER Is
Railroad Engineer Receives Check
With Another to Follow.

A special from Kendall, Wis, says
John Franklin, a Northwestern engi-
neer, running between that place and
Sparta, has received a check for $l0,-
900 with a promise of another for
saving the life of a woman at Devils
Lake a few weeks ago.
Franklin, with his wife, was spend
ing a few days at the lake. At the
same time, Williamson, a wealthy
Chicago man, with his daughter and
Miss Jenkins, a sister in law, also
were encamped at the lake.
One morning while out in a boat
the girl and Miss Jenkins rowed over
to a spring to get a drink. AS Miss
Jenkins attempted to get back into
the boat she slipped, falling into the
water. The impact drove the craft
from the shore, and although she
managed to get hold of the boat, she
could not draw herself from the wa
ter. Franklin rescued her just as her
strenth was about falling her.
