TRESTLE BLAZING IN DARKNESS
 GREETS SIGHT OF WARY ENGINEER

A blazing. trestle, the flames ieaping up in the darkness of the night. was the sight that met the gase of the engineer of train No. S7 on the Wes- tern Railroad of Alabama, at 11:30 o'clock Saturday night near Mt. Meigs. thirteen miles from Montgom- cry.
 Hastily putting on the brakes. the engineer brought the train. bearing six Pullman coaches filled with pas- sengers, unconscious of danger, to . standstill. The train crew, after g fight which lasted quarter hour, ex- tinguished the blaze, and after q careful examination of the structure was made. the train proceeded slowly across 1t and continued on it's way to Montgomery. A aagtnan was left be. hind to warn all trains to approach the trestle with caution, and to cross at a reduced rate of speed.
 The blaze Is thought to have started

from coais dropped from the Arehcx of . passing engine. In a comparative ly isolated spot, there was Snos+ one within close distance to the trsstle to see the possible danger. and to ex- tinguish the flames until the approach of the train. -+l s-,i....,t After the blazing timhers had been put out, a careful exafpin4tion Of the train was made by lantern ligist The structure was found to be eonnpaea- lively unin5ured. fhe timhsFs which he'd been butIied not being these upon which the hrtdse relied to any copsld- erabIe extent for strength, The pas sage was accordingly made, the nag man being dropped at that point as s preeaukioil.

Explains Bloody Clothes.
 He explains In that statement the bloody condition of his clothes by say ing that when Finley had been stabbed and cut by the other two negroes, the dying man seized him and pulled him down on top of him.
 Chief Taylor says that in his exper- fence of more than twenty years as 8 member of the Montgomery Police De- partment,- the murder of young Finley was the most brutal and terrible crime he has known.
 l" The first day Coleman was arrested and brought to police headquarters" said Captain Taylor. there was blood under his finger nails and blood under tho flesh where the nail joins the flesh We questioned the negro about that blood and he rambled in his answers. When the negro went back to his cell, with the guilt of that horrible crime on his conscience. he put hls ringers in his mouth and sucked the blood Of his vic- tim from them"
 The police are inclined to believe the face of the victim was gashed and hacked in the horrible manner in which 1t was found, in the belief by the mur- derer that hc would so disfigure the face 1t could not be recognized.

nARAHAN SCORES
ASSERTS FISH BORROWED $500,

sTUWEsANT FISH ADMITS THE DEAL
Says Transaction Was Regular and
That Cash Was Repaid
When Due.

New York-President Harahan OF
the Illinois Central railroad evi.
IDENTIFY is determined TO block Stuy-
vesant Fish in his effort to obtain
proxies from a majority of the stock
holders of the company. Mr.. Fish
bases his appeal to the stockholders
upon the assertion that the accounts
of the company are being padded. Mr..
Harahan denies this, claiming that the
method of keeping books and accounts
and rendering the annual statements
are the same as during Mr.. Ffsh's
regime.
But Mr.. Harahan does more than
this. He makes the assertion that
while Mr.. Fish was president of the
road, and practically in charge of its
finances, he loaned to himself, from
funds of the company, the sum of
100000, upon collateral which was
unmarketable, and that a director of
the company personally loaned him
the money to pay the loan at maturity,
taking as part security mortgages on
Mr.. Fish's New York residence and
on his interest in the estate of the
late Hamilton Fish.
Mr.. Harahan attaches to his state
ment a letter from eight of the direct
ors of the company containing some

Mr.. Fish, when asked over the tele-
phone regarding the truth of Mr.. Rar-
ahan's statement regarding the ST.
500, 900 loan, admitted that he had bor-
rowed this sum from the surplus of
the company. He said the loan was me-
gotiated regularly, and was made at a
time when the company was seeking
an investment for its funds and after
it had been unable to place it ad.

When the loan fell due" said Mr..
Fish, Il proposed to Mr.. Hartman to
negotiate a new loan with Kuhn, Loeb
& Co. Mr.. Hartman asked me not to
do this, and volunteered to loan me
the sum himself. He did SO, and l re-
paid it at maturity"

STATUE

President Roosevelt and kept the
crowd from breaking through the
ropes. The regulars We're under COM
mand of Brig. Gen. j. M. X. Davis.
President Roosevelt's train arrived
only three minutes behind schedule
time. The president at once was
driven between two lines Of soldiers
to the high school, where the school
children of the city assembled. Sol
diers were placed at intervals of a
few feet along the route to the high
school to keep back the crowd. The
SUI was shining when the president
arrived.
Children Sing "America."
At the school 1900 boys and girls
were grouped on a large stand and
dressed to form a flag. Nearly 5000
other school children were grouped
on each side. All sang America"
and THE Star Spangled Banner
From the school the president was
driven to a large stand in the square,
from which he reviewed the parade.
Platoons of police and U. S. cavalry
headed the parade. There were six
brigades, with nearly 10000 men, in
line. President McKinley's regiment,
the Twenty-third Ohio volunteer in
fantry, was in the first brigade, with
G. A. r. veterans, Spanish-American
wal veterans and Sons of Veterans.
The streets crossing the public
square had been made a court of
honor with ropes of evergreens
strung on stats mounted in bases
that bore McKinley's monogram.
The dedication opened with invo-
cation by Rev. Frank M. Bristol of
Washington.
Governor Harris of Ohio, president
of the day, made the opening address,
and Justice Day told of the building
of the memorial.
Statue Is Unveiled.
Then came the formal unwilling of
a bronze statue of Mckinley that
stands at the entrance of the monu-
ment. Miss Helen Mckinley of
Cleveland, sister of President McKin-
ley, pulled the cord releasing the flags
that covered the statue.
James Whitcomb Riley recited his
poem and the Grafton of President
Roosevelt followed.
THE Star S%paagled Banner" sung
by all present, preceded the speaking.
America" closed the ceremonies.
Bishop Horstmann of Cleveland
pronounced the benediction.
No announcement that the audience
was to be limited was made before
Saturday, and thousands of strangers
sought in vain for admission.

SOLDIER HAS TWO HEARTS.
Liver On Wrong Side, But Health Has
Always Been Good.

Indianapolis, Ind.--The X-rays
have shown that Ira j. Salyards,
a private in the army, has two hearts.
They beat in unison and are in such
perfect accord that they give him no
trouble whatever. In addition to this,
his liver and spleen are on the wrong
side.
Salyards did not know that he was
in any way abnormal until he enlisted
at Terre Haute. The examining sur
geon told him his heart was on the
wrong sidea He was sent to Columbus
for closer examination and there two
hearts were discovered. He was sub
1ected as tests to long intervals with
out sleep, long marches and violent
exercise. There was no i'll effects and
the army accepted him. He says he
never has had any serious illness.

COURTESY STOPS ON CENTRAL,
Rockefeller, Utility-Law Drafter and
Bishop Potter Refused.

New York.-No more courtesy"
stops are made on the New
York Central. John D. Rockefeller
learned this when he wanted to take
a fast train at Tarrytown to go to Chi.
cago to testify before Judge Lands.
Bishop Potter, too, wanted a rast
train stopped somewhere up along tho
Hudson, so he could get aboard, but
was refused. One of the men who
drafted the public utilities bill made
courtesy stops illegal, forgot about the
law and filed a request for a stop at
his summer home. He was referred
to the provisions of his own bill.
The Courtesy stop has become a
great nuisance on all railroads.
