Raleigh, Specialize Raleigh Ev-
enIng Times, which appeared IN one
edition late Saturday afternoon CON
tanned two sensational! statements.
The first was signed by State Senate.
John &. DrewTy, grand secretary o.
the Grand Lodge of Aasons and pres.
ident Of the newspaper company,
breaking his silence OF five days re-
yard.ng the vouchers Tor $4,000 paid
him In len months last year b. FIrsl
Vice President 4. +. Andrews OF thu
Southern Railway.
Drewry says that two years ago,
then owning an interest III the paper

him how be would like TO see a large
afternoon paper in Raleigh. Andrews
replied that he would greatly like Al,
as The News and Observer had never
treated him or the Southern fairly.
bearing personal auimosity againsl
both, and he insisted on an impair
tiai paper. Andrews said that be
could not take any stock but wouI /
give advertising 10 the value Of d
few thousand dollars upon the paper 5
publishing the schedules, special no.
tees and such clippings from other
papers as he might designate the ed
itorial department to be left entirel Y
to the editor.
Returned a Voucher.
Drewry says the paper was then
enlarged-all this before he had any
idea of being State Senator; that il
was April of last year, that Andrews
paid him a Southern Railway vouch-
er for $1,000 which was turned over
70 Business Manager George B. C.a-
ter, and deposited to the credit of
The Evening Times; that in August
last year Andrews again sent another
for $4,000 which was similar
ly handled as the books show; that
late Ill January last after Drcwry
was III the Senate, Andrews again
gave him another like voucher for
the same sum which was DEPOSITED
i'll the bank. Drewry says that d
few hours later he realized that as
Senator he might be criticised for
accepting such voucher, even thoug,
as president of the newspaper and SO
returned it. and that it was credited
February 4th as paid back by the
newspaper. Drewry denies that An.
drews or the Southern Railway con-
trlbuted a nickel to his campaign di-
rectly or Indirectly. and says neither
controlled him in the Senate or ever
tried to do so and that in nearly all
eases he voted against the railways
and for the 2 Il cent rate.
He says this is full and frank
statement and that he delayed max
ing it until he could verify each state
ment.
The second sensation was the fol-
lowing which appeared at the head
Of the editorial column:
"A Word Personal"
"This afternoon I rendered nv
resignation as editor Of The Raleigh
Evening Times, to take effect at once
(Signed) rs. L. ROTTER.
1t is rumored that other resigna-
tions will follow 1t is no secret
that the State will use with special
effect in its fight for the new passen-
ger rate the revelations made as to
these Southern vouchers and that
Drewry's statement will cut large
figure in this matter.
Editor Rotter took that position
last March.

BOilermakers Strike.

The boilermakers on all the roads
into st. Paul went out on a strike
last Sunday morning at 8 o'clock.
At this place the five boilermakers
together with one apprentice and
three helpers went out as soon as
they received their orders from St.
Paul. The local men have no or
ganization, but are members of the
BoiIermakers' and Iron Ship Build
ers' Union of St.. Paul. The men
have been negotiating with the rail
road companies for the past two
months and satisfactory settle
ment seemed possible, but the roads
refused to raise the scale of wages,
SO cents an hour for ten hours, to
As cents an hour for nine hours.
The roads offered to compromise by
granting a nine hour day and in
creasing the wages to Al cents per
hour; but this was not satisfactory
to the Union and hence a strike Was
called.

CRUSHED UNDER
CRUEL WHEELS
POPULAR Switch Foreman Meets
Instantaneous Death While
Switching on East End.
JOHN T. RlTCHIE'S SUDDEN CALL

One of the most terrible accidents
that ever happened in this city oc-
cured last Saturday forenoon about
II AS, when John T. .Ritchie, foreman
for the switching crew, east end,
was killed while working at switch
No. 8. Mr.. Ritchie had given the
signal to the engine crew to stop
and had gone between the cars to
lift the pin lever, and in some man
ner stumbled and fell. Death was
instantaneous, for six cars passed
over him before the train could be
stopped, and his body was horribly
mangled and cut to pieces. 1t is a
strange fact that about six weeks
ago Mr.. Ritchie was forced to lay
off from work for some days on
account Of similar accident. At
that time, however, he fell outward
instead Of toward the track, and
his injuries were not serious. His
helpers, William LaWler and Will
liam Miessner, witnessed the sad
accident last Saturday, but could
do nothing to save Mr.. Richie.
Tie coroner, II: E. Frost, and the
undertaken, Andrew Peterson, we're
sent for and after some delay the
remains were taken up and taken
to Peterson's undertaking rooms.
There they were prepared for buri-
al and in the evening they were
taken to the home of the deceased
at the A. B. Hanscom residence,
2lS Litchfeld avenue, where they
remained until Sunday afternoon
at four o'clock, when they were
taken to Fond du Lac, Wis, the
former home of the deceased. Be-
sides the griefstricken wife, Mr.
and Mrs. John Barrett, William
Meissner, William Lawler and Con.
ductors William Hackett and J. T.
Carruthers accompanied the re-
mains, the last two mentioned as
representatives of the Order oil

friends came to her and broke the
awful news as gently as possible.
