DEAD AT THROTTLE.
Thrilling Incident on Train From
Washington to New York.

Philadelphia, Feb, 6.-The Congress
sional limited train on the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad which leaves Washington
for New York at o'clock, ran through
this city tonight at terrific speed with
the engineer, Thomas Toms, dead at
the throttle. The train, which was
made up of seven buffet cars, makes
two stops in this city, one at West
Philadelphia and the other at North
Philadelphia. Shortly after the train
left West Philadelphia, the fireman,
Harry Michner, noticed the speed of
the train was unusual, but the engi-
neer gave no signals. Michner called
to Toms, but received no answer and
when the train rushed through Fair
mount Park and neared North Phila-
delphia, thei fireman climbed over the
big boiler into the engineers cab to
find Toms dead with his hand on the
throttle. His head was hanging out of
the window and had been crushed by
striking some object along the road.
Michner supported the dead engineer
on his arm and brought the train to
stop at North Philadelphia, where new
engineer was secured and the train
proceeded to New York Tams, the
dead engineer, lived in Newark N. J.

Charleston, S. c., Feb. 8.-Dr. Alex

his son, M Agasiz, Mr.. and Mrs. Bige-
low, of Boston, and Assistant Director
Woodwork, sailed on the yacht Vir-
ginia for the Windward Islands today,
to be absent from the United States for
about three months, during which time
they will prosecute study of coral
formations and marine animals of those
waters. DR.. Agasiz said today in an
swer to inquiry, that the report that
they intended to study causes of seis-
mic disturbances in the neighborhood
of Jamaica, was without foundation.
The party has been detained here on
account OF the bad weather.

Judge Parker Says President Was
Right In Brownsville
Action

New York, Feb. THE Maryland
Society of New York held its ninth an
nual banquet at Sherry's tonight. Am
ong the $50 guests present were Thomas
Fell, president of st. Johns College,
Annapolis. and ex-Judge Alton B.
Parker.
Referring to the Brownsvills affair,
Judge Parker, in response to toast,
said he believed the President had the
right to discharge the negroes and was
justified in using that power.
He condemned the interference of the
legislative branch of the government,
and attributed its action in the matter
to political motives. SIT is not the first
time the politicians have used the ne
groes for their own purposes" said
Judge Parker. ''They used them when
they saddled upon those states to the
south of Maryland these people as vot-
ers.
every Intelligent man, think, will
admit that granting the franchise to
the negro at the close of the war was a
mistake, Jas great amistake for the negro
as for the white man. The negro was
poor and not fitted to exercise the right
of franchise. Politicians for their own
selfish purposes told him he was fitted
to rule, to take possession, and many
well-intentioned men and women joined
I in the mistake.
Notwithstanding all these difficulties
the two races have worked together
well for the upbuilding of their section.
No like experiment in all history has
been SO successful. What the south
needs and what is has the right to ask
is understanding and confidence.
'sIt does not need nor does it desire
| indulgence or pity, but like any indi-
| vidual Or people anywhere, it would
welcome and should have sympathy.
She cannot be helped by passion. She
should not be subjected to the denuncia-
ton of the bigot and raving of the
maniac

CudIIOtC0 OOS0I IY0Is
The action or even the threatened ac-
ton of a Legislature may have far
reaching influence upon the welfare
of its State. North Carolina is at this
time enjoying flood of prosperity and
holds a conspicuous place in the eyes of
the country. It would be most lament
able if any act of or threats from the
Legislature should retard the healthful
growth of the State or cause the outside
public to lose confidence in it or in
tending investors to turn from it as a
state in which property rights are not
respected. Reform is not properly
Synonymous with ruin real reform
does not imply receivership. Mr.. Gra-
ham, of Orange, and Mr.. Doughton, OF
Allegheny, two of the wisest men in the
Legislature, have sounded notes o1
warning in the Senate and House.

FOREST RESERVE BILL.

Washington, D. c.. Feb. 6-Another
effort will be made before adjournment
to secure an appropriation to cover the
cost of making survey of the South
ern Appalachian region, with a view to
establishing a forest reserve in that
section.
A movement was started in this di-
rection today, when Senator Simmons
induced the Senate committee on agri-
culture to incorporate in the agricul-
tural supply bill an item calling for an
appropriation of $25, 200 for the pro-
posed survey. The matter will prob
ably be acted upon favorably in the
senate, but may fail in the conference
between the two Houses.

Money Making is Not The
Measure Of the Quick
ening Spirit Of
Progress.
The Pulpit and the People are More
in Harmony in This Country
Than Ever Before
In Our History

It is sometimes claimed, and often,
that we are living in a sordid age,
when the dollar is exalted and is the
measure of men and, that the spiritual
life is dwarfed-stiff1ed; that the de-
sire for the rapid accumulation of
riches is al1-absorbing and, conse-
quently, that gross materialism is fast
sapping and supplanting the simple
but animating religious faith of our
fathers.
That many men are unduly eager to
possess worldly fortunes. may be true.
A long period of material prosperity
naturally stimulates commercial activ-
tiles and quickens Individual endeavor
to "make money" One sees his neigh
Dor prospecting, and the man who fails
to better his own condition when the
opportunity offers is drone. But to
say that all the world has caught the
'sget-rich-quick'' carze is to speak
without reason.
The people who talk about sordid
cynics or failures in life. While cor
ruption in high places is often in evil
dence, and while the world at large
may not be as good as it should 20,
never was there time when so much
thought was given to the amelioration
SO much was done to promote the
cause of peace and universal brother
hood, when domestic and civic virtues
were so much appreciated, when SO
many God-fearing people were banded
together for uplifting work and when
SO much wholesome religion was
preached and practiced.
Here is our own city-the Best Town
in the State-our people have within
the past quarter of a century made
wonderful advance in public morals, if
you but measure back and compare
progressive conditions; from the time
| our peerless graded school was estab-
ished, which is the creation Of free
peoples generous self voted taxation,
on up to the present. Are we not, in
l oOO05 OhtAtAOo W elO oAOSdA OA ouO
ARGUS, as characterizing our people
and town that, 1--WE go forward?
But it was not of Goldsboro that we in
tended to write in this homi1y. This
i reference is but mere incident in the
| weaving loom of thought, for we are
writing of this generation as a whole.
But we are led to thus write at this
time by the result of the prohibition
election in New bern this week, and the
action of the people of Fayetteville on
this same liquor question; as well as by
lGoldsboro's sturdy convictions on the
same subject.
Public morals do not initiate against
prosperity; but just the contrary. The
per capita wealth of this nation is on
the increase, steadily, and with it hui
man happiness is being widened and
lelevated to a higher level.
1 And right here we wish to say thai
it is great mistake, or delusion, to
think that the pulpit is losing its power
! There never was time when it was
so powerful. In every city, village and
hamlet tomorrow churches will be
thronged, and consecrated faithful and
liable pastors will have earnest and con.
trite attention.
We go forward.
