statement. admitted he had testified
before the grand Jury. had never dis
cussed his testimony with either Spe-
cial Agents O'Fallon or Goodwin. He

\ hile we are not trying to lay all the cause of the terrible wreck which happened last Friday at Cuneo in which Engineer Xii coyne and Fireman Currier was hurled into eternity and a num- Der of other trainmen seriously injured-yet to some extent they are to blame. The provisions of the present small dwarf signal, only a few feet high at the switch points is miserable and utterly inadequate safeguard. Not only should the switch sig nals be on a lofty signal post, but a lofty, distant signal should be provided, and the two so con nected that when the switch is open, both signals will show a red semaphore by day and a red light by night. If a clear distance signal were provided, as it unquestiOnably should be. we. believe that accidents due to passenger trains, CT indeed any kind Of train, running into open sidings would become exceeding iy rare.

The Mldnight Express

Awake, your wife is dying,
 Came oyef the wires tonight. ft.was brought iu late to the office,
 By lad al,nost dead with fright He came rushing into the office,
 His face was pale and white; Saying take this to dad on the engine For mother is dying tonight. In less than hall an hour,
 4 message came back from him; Tell wife I'll meet her at midnight,
 Tell her to pray for Jim; left the boy in the office,
 And took the message to Jim's wife; Where l found dying woman,
 With scarce bit of life. And when l entered her chamber,
 She thought at first it was Jim; She fell back nigh exhausted,
 When she saw it was not him. She raised her eyes toward Heaven,
 Her face was pale and white: And in dying struggle, said,
 God speed the express tonight. Along the vale and the mountain,
 There rushes midnight train Hear the scree hing and screaming.
 As it resists a mighty strain. Jim is standing at the lever,
 He is guarding the dangerous flight; 4 voice speaks out from the darkness. God speed the express tonight In less than half an hour,
 The train wi il be alon.; Great Heavens, here comes message, Stating there is something wrong. II tells of sad disaster,
 I he train is in the ditch; The engineer is dying,
 derailed by an open switch Still there comes another message
 From the dying engineer in distress; Tell wife I'll meet her in Heaven,
 Don't wait for the midnight express {"

Every possible Encouragement should besgiven to the organiza- ton and development cf cur state banking institutions. Tke future safeguard Of farmers in the Sonth and more particularly those who produce cotton, lies in the support and maintenance Of local state banks in the various cotton producing counties. Not only is this true in 8 general sense, but farmers should take stock in these local banks and help on their or1ar.z .zaticn and support. Tn passing from credit to the cash system farmers will be compeIledfo q great extent to patronize these local banks by borrowing money at stated peri ods to meet obligations in the or dinary conduct of business just as people engage in other lines of business have to do.

DRAMATIC SCENES
ORCHARDS CRIMES PICTURED IN
 HIDEOUS LIGHT.
Clarence Darrow, Chief Counsel For Pettibone, Closed His Cross Ex- animation OK Witness Before
 Court Adt0urmed-


 Boise, Idaho, Dec. 14.-Dramatic scenes marked today's proceedings in the trial of George A. Pettibone for compucity in the murder of ex-Gover- nor Steunenberg.
 Clarence S. Darrow, chief counsel for the defense, closed his cross examina- tion of Harry Orchard before the ad- journment this afternoon by picpturing each of the crimes to which the wit ness has confessed in its most hideous light and after each he asked;
 You did that, did you not?"
 Orchard with face downcast and misery written in every feature, to each question answered: 'Yes, SIT; l did"
 You never met a man in a fair fight. did your" asked MT. Darrow, but the court sustained the States obJec- ton to the question. r
 Throughout the cross examination Darrow referred to the testimony at the Haywood trial and endeavored to show contradictory statements but Orchard held his own in each instance. once Darrow was forced to admit that he was mistaken in regard to the for mer testimony of the witness, Dar- row touched very lightly on the inci- dents leading up to Orcnard's confess sion, merely showing that Detective Mcfarland had told him the Bible story of St. Paul and King David who had been murderers and Kelly, the bum," of the Molly Maguires, who was given his liberty because he gave evil dence for the State.
 The story of Orchards conversion and religious profession was not brought out either by the State or de- fense. The only intimation of it was when Darrow asked the witness if Mo Partland had not told him that St. Paul and David, after committing mur- der. had become men of power for good.
 He told me they had been forgiven" answered Orchard Simply.

 Robert Bankes, night manager of the paper, staes. however, that Mir. Miller has received a letter from the reac- tionary committed at Geneva, stating that he had been sentenced to death and that the sentence had been placed in the hands of three Moscow men who had started for new York after drawing $3,000 of the committees funds for expenses. MT. Miller, Mir. Banlxes said, was taking no special precautions against assassination be- 6Apse he did not believe they would attempt his life in America.
 The sentence of death Is supposed to have been passed on Miller because of his publication last July of docu- ments said to prove that Premier Stoly- pin had given a reward for the assas- sination of a revolutionary named Schernab. who was suffocated on a Dutch steamer, three innocent men. also falling victims to the same plot.

T.. Shepherd. the Secretary of the Rich mond Council of the United Commer- cial Travelers Association. has inter written a long letter to C. s. Wilson.

Since that time his people have heard nothing < from him and all their letters have been returned through the dead letter ofiice at Washington after having been duly advertised at Ensley.

FIFTY WOMENN JAIL
SHERIFF HOOD TAKES IN FEMALE
 MIGRANTS.
All Of Then Are Negroes And They Made Bonds Readlly--To Hid
 The City Of The Idle f4as Ht Claag. ssHF.. fslf a

RaidinE by wholesale was the par ticular business of, the sheriffs depart ment last night and asa result the names of fifty negro women are on the blotter at the Jail. se
 The Incentive for this wholesale arr resting comes from, the determination of Sheriff Hood to attempt to rid the city sof worthless negroes. l Last night every deputy of the de- partment started out in the district usually inhabited bw negroes who do not work and by Il o'clock they had rounded up the fifty women. IL was hard work, too. for the county has no means of taking prisoners from the scene of arrest to the jail and many of the fifty negroes were taken to jafl in buggies. Finally about twenty ot them were herded and compelled to walk to the county bastile. &
 Those on the raid were Deputies Mo- Rec, Norman, Wilson, Hall and Glenn ents. They not only arrested fifty ne- gro women but they worked under diff ficulties After the first place had been raided runners were sent to the others and it was against these that the sheriffs had to work. During the course of the night several of these persons were arrested and a charge of obstructing an officer will be placed against them. ~ sSHM
 Conditions in Montgomery regarding this class of people have become such that Sheriff Hood thought that it was time to do all that he could towards ridding the city of some of the charac- ters.
 Few of the women stayed in the prison all night. They telephoned for bondsmen, made their bonds and were released. ss "
 Sheriff Hood said last night that he was going to enforce the law on these people and would do all in his power to rid Montgomery of them.
 The jail was q busy place after the raid and q few of the women who could not secure bondsmens will have to stay in jail pending . hearing be- fore a magistrate. Most of the women had little. trouble in making bonds.
