driving along Union street. As he ap-
preached the railroad crossing there was
another wagon coming across the track.

just as he got on the track Powers saw
the train bearing dow on him. Instead Of
going ahead he tried to turn the wagon
around. but before he could do so the
engine struck the vehicle. The locomotive
hit the rig near the front wheels. and this
gave Powers a chance TO leap from his
seat in a desperate effort to escape death.
and he landed'o on the pilot Of the engine.
The horse was mangled and the wagon
completely demolished.
Powers was taken TO his home. He
suffers from shock. but appears to be I'M

NEGRO GETS WALN MANSION

That His Employer Owed Him $4,000
The Relatives Made No Objection,

PHILADELPHIA. July 2o.-The mansion at
Walnford, Monmouth county. n. j., hlled
with heirlooms Of the historic Vain family,
which 10 closely connected with Mrs. Anne
M. Weightman Walker. the Jones Wisters.
the Charles Curtis Harrisons and Richard
VAIN Meirs. has fallen into the possession of
John Wilson, an sixty-two year old negro.
having been decided to him by the late Mrs.
Sarah Vain Hendrickson.
Wilson was an employee Of Mrs. Hendrick-
son for nearly fifty years. When she died
last March. in her ninety-frst year, he said
that she owed him nearly 10000, repre-
senting arrears in wages and loans. Before
her death the aged woman had John Meirs.
a Camden lawyer. who was her nephew,
draw up the deed by which she turned over
TO Wilson the old Vain mansion. with the
family's portraits. jewels, silver plate and
old colonial furniture and tapestries.
Mr.. Meirs was 10th 70 rave Wilson obtain
possession OF the family heirlooms and the
old mansion. but his aunt told him that if
he refused hat she would retain other
counsel.
Mrs. Hendrickson's relatives in this city
we're indignant when they learned Of the
Transaction. and at first they contemplated
legal proceedings to have the deed set
aside. S. Morris VAIN Of 1880 Mount Vernon
street. who is member of the bar, ad-
vised the other relatives OF Mrs. Henrick-
son to leave Wilson in uDdisputed possession
Of her property 90 as to avoid q scandal.
Richard Vain Meirs. another lawyer. who
is a member of the family. was Of the same
opinion.
Mrs. Vain was a descendant of Nicholas
Vain, a Quaker, who came to thisc city with
William Penn in 1882. She was related by
blood and marriage TO many Of the most
exclusive Philadelphia families. Several
years ago she made a will in favor Of Richard
Vain Meirs, her favorite nephew. Later
she tore up the will.
IL was some time after this. according
TO the statement Of John Meirs. Richards
brother. that Mrs. Hendrickson induced
him to draw up the deed conveying all OF
her possessions to Wilson. Wilson seems
to have taken good care of his aged bene-
factress. He ever nursed her when she
was i'll.
Sally Vain had no love affair until she
was 80 years old. when she was welded
to Jacob Hendrickson, a we'll TO do New
Jersey farmer. At the end of nine months
Hendrickson died. The bride remained in
seolusion at the Wslnford mansion after
that. IL was after her husbands death
in his 20s.

Law ONLY HITS TRUST AGENTS.
New Texas statute Held Not to Ancct the
Dealers.

GALVESTON, July 2O.-Attorney-Ge General
Davidson has issued a preliminary opinion
20 the merchants Of Texas upon the drastic
antitrust law recently enacted. He in
forms them that the law will be applied only
to the agents and representatives OF trusts
operating in Texas and not to merchants or
dealers who buy their goods in the open
market, He interprets the new law to
apply only to those directly associated
in some manner with a trust. A merchant
who has the agency for any town, district
or county for any trust manufactured article
or article handled by a trust or combine
is amenable to the law. which makes the
offence q felony. with an imprisonment
penalty.
The bill originally passed in regular
session, but was tempered with while being
engrossed and Gov. Campbell refused 70
sign il. He resubmitted the bill at the
special session of the Legislature and 1t was
adopted. but does not become effective
until August 10. II is still argued that the
present bill was tempered with and many
attorneys contend that the measure can be
made to apply 20 any merchant handling
trust goods. The Attorney-Genersl denies
that his department Is the author Of the
law. but admits having made some changes
in the bill.
