TOWER TO LEAVE BERLIN.

Berlin, Oct. Ambassador Tower
has written to President Roosevelt
asking that he be permitted to retire
from the diplomatic service next
spring.
Mr.. Towers reasons are under
stood to be that he has been abroad
for nearly eleven years and he de-
sires to live in his own country in or
der to have home for his sons, who
are nearly ready to go to Harvard
college, and to give his personal at
tention to his extensive financial,
mining and railroad interests that
have been left to the supervision of
others during his long absence. AS
the lease on Mr.. Towers house in
Berlin does not expire until some
time next>spring it Is presumed that
he will remain as ambassador until
after that time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tower and two young
daughters are at present in Baden
Baden. They intend to return here
at the end of this month.
Mr. Towers retirement will re-
move from the diplomatic list one OF
the most experienced of the Ameri-
can representatives in Europe. He
has been continuously minister and
ambassador longer than any otherdi
plomat in the American service. Mr..
Towers first experience in foreign af-
fairs was an attache at the Spanish
court thirty years ago and during the
long interval between that time and
his appointment as American minis
ter to Vienna in 1897 while actively
concerned in railroad and the iron in
dustry of Minnesota he found time
to give to the study of foreign poll
tics.

Frisco Train In Washita.

Enid Okla, Oct 5.-An engine and
several freight cars went through a
bridge over the Washita river at 2:3O
this morning, on the Frisco railway,
and the fireman, Harry Code, was
pinned below the cab and tender and
lost his life in the river.
Heavy rains have caused high wa
ter. which weakened the bridge by
washing the pilinG loose. and when
the train was about half across the
bridge began to sink. Engineer
Riggs called to the fireman and jump
ed into the rushing water, but the
fireman being busy, did not notice
that the bridge was sinking, and was
caught before he had time to escape.
His body was recovered at noon to-
day.
The Washita river, like ali Oklaho-
ma streams is very treacherous on
account of the quicksands. A little
over a year ago a similar accident
happened on the Frisco at the Cimar-
ron river, also a passenger train on
the Rock Island plunged through a
bridge over the Cimarron, near Dow
er. in which several lives were lost
The engine and a number of the
coaches lie buried in the sands yet.

.PLATT NOT MARRIED.
ANSWERS SUIT FILED BY MAE
C. WOOD.
SAYS THE WOMAN ISA SCHEMER
Alleges He Is Victim of Blackmailing
- Plat Under Cloud Mutilated
Marriage Certificate Is in Exist
ence.

New York, Oct. s. - United States
Senator Plat made a formal denial
today that he ever married Mae G..
Wood, who is suing him for divorce,
alleging that she was married to the
senator November 8, 1901. The de-
NAL was made in application in court
today by his attorneys asking for au-
thority to examine certain papers in
the case. The senator in his petit
ton asserted that she never made a
claim to him of such a marriage I'M
til December "a, 1906, but had tried
to eXtort money from him. More
than three years after the date on
which she asserts she was married to
him, the senator averred, she was
threatening to sue him for breach OF
promise and retained a law firm of
Richmond, Va, to act for her.
The senator submitted a copy of
letter from the firm written to him
in January, 1905, in which they an
nounce that Miss Mae c. Wood had
employed them to prosecute her
claim for damages for breach Of
promise and alleged conspiracy Gull
minating in New York IN l9O3, by
which she asserted she was fraudu-
lently compelled to surrender certain
letters written to her by Senator
Platt
In the fall of 1906 the senator as
serted, Miss Wood brought two suits
against him in Omaha, in which the
allegations were absolutely inconsist-
ent with her present claim of mar
riage. These suits, he said, were
brought to gain notoriety and to ex-
tort money from him. Both suits
were dismissed.
The senator alluded to publications
of what purported to be a marriage
certificate which, he said, had been
mutilated by cutting away the part
that should have contained the name
of the man who officiated

WITTY Jury Verdict.

There is a lot of humor and, be-
sides, a splendid moral for the young
business man in a verdict recently
rendered by a coroner's jury.
I'VE, the jury, find from the physi-
clans statement that the deceased
came to his death from heart failure,
superinduced by business failure,
which was caused by speculative fail
ure, which was in turn the result Of
failure to look ahead"

The celebrated litigation over the
sale of the South and North Railway
TO the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road Company was probably finally
decided when the Supreme Court yes
terday overruled the petition of the at
torneys of Lieutenant Governor Henry
b. Gray. for rehearing in the cases
gomery, one of which was reversed and
the other affirmed
Both decisions are favorable to the
Louisville and Nashville.
Mr.. Gray is one of few min GRITTY
stockholders of the South and North
who sought to prevent the sale of the
road to the Louisville and Nashville,
owners Of ninety per cent of the stock
He secured injunctions to prevent the
sale which are now pending and which
have operated to stay the said SALE
In the meantime the directors of the
South and North filed a bill In the
Chancery Court of Birmingham seek
ing an accounting of the operations of
the South and North by the Louis
VILE and Nashville. Mr.. Gray at once
filed bill in the City Court of Mont
gomery to restrain the proceedings in
Birmingham on the ground that 1t was

major corporation from control of the
minor and the appointment of re-

After long drawn out litigation, the
Judge of the City Court of Montgom-
cry, Hon. A. D. Sayre, Handed down
an opinion in which he granted the or
der to restrain the Chancery Court of
Birmingham, but refused the custer
and receiver application. From the
first ruling the railroad people appeal
ed to the Supreme Court and from the
latter Mr. Gray appealed.
After some weeks the higher court
reversed the lower court In the grant
ing of the restraining order and up
held it in the Judgment with regard to
the receiver. Application for rehear-
ing was made in these cases by Gray's
attorneys and the court yesterday an
nounced its refusal to do SO, making
the Judgment final in these two in
stances save for the possibility. of car
rying them to the Supreme Court of
the United States.
There are several other cases pend

the Louisville and Nashville to prevent
1t from absorbing or otherwise control

important is the granting of a judg-
