Raleigh. n. c.. July 20.-Word comes
from AsheviIle tonight that at a confer
ence OF Southern Railway officials it was
decided to take no further steps in regard
TO the Raleigh cases disposed Of yester-
day.
Tonight Gov. Glenn declared. in an
interview. that unless the railroads obey
the rate law there VIII be more p15secu-
tions. Being asked as to his future ac-
tion, he said:
THAT depends on the course pursued
by the Southern and Coast Line railroads.
If they acquiesce in the law. as the other
roads have done, no further indictpents
will be made, but if they persist in selling
tickets at higher rate than "a cents per
mile, will instruct the States attorney
to aid the solicitors in sending new bills
and in prosecuting the same until those
railroads obey the law. or the courts Of
highest Jurisdiction declare the rate act
unconstitutional

and if the railroads will withdraw their
attempted injunction. until the evidence
is taken and the court passes upon the

At least forty are dead. Sixty are In
Jured. some so seriously that the death
list may be swcled considerably.
At a turn in the track, where a steep
embaullment carries the rails high In the
air. the excursion train met a heavy
through freight train. The crowded
coaches were telescoped and smashed 10
splinters. The impact Of the heavy
freight cars crushed the lighter passen-
ger coaches like egg-shells. and. with
their loads of human freight. were rolled
over and over down the embankment.
Coaches Loaded 90 Platforms.
Eleven coaches comprised the excursion
train. and all were crowded to the plat
forms. Women and children formed a
large proportion OF the excursionists. The
crash came without warning to the merry
party that filed the train. and moment
after the collision the agonizing cries Of
the injured drowned the shrill noises OF
the escaping steam.
Seven coaches were torn to pieces and
heaped up in a shapeless mass at the foot
of the high embankment. The two loco
motives and their tenders were almost
welded into one mass, and the heavy
freight cars. forming the forward portion
Of the train. were ripped open and hurled
down the declivity on top OF the passen-
ger coaches.
With the frenzy OF desperation. men set
to work to extricate the living and dead
from the mass Of wreekage Farmers of
the near vicinity, drawn by the deafening
crash Of the collision, hurried to the scene
OF rescue.

The Chances of To-Day.

That was happy remark of Gov.
Stuart to the students of the Carnegie
Technical schools in Pittsburg on
Wednesday. 81 want to say to you
that there is greater chance for men
ofintegrity, industry and ability than
! there ever was in the worlds history"
The governor had just observed that
there are men who say there is not
the same chance for young men to-day
that there was 25 years ago.
it has been said of the new governor
that as he is not a lawyer and not
given much to oratory, it must not be
expected of him that be shall shine
as public speaker, but here we have
proof that he can concentrate great
many striking truths into few words.
What he told the ''tech" boys is wor-
thy the careful consideration of every
Pennsylvania youth with genuine am
bition. The idea that there is less
chance to-day than in the last genera
tion is an absurdty. 1t is the stock
argument of the thoughtess and the
covenient refuge Of the doless. AS
Gov. Stuart pointed out the royal rad
to success is still open to him who in
dustry and integrity-are unchanged.
With the growth of the world. the ad-
vancement in methods, the progress
of development and the opening of
new and undreamed of avenues of en-
deavor-as electricity, for instance
it is inevitable that there should be
wider diversity and an increased num-
Der of changes and success. While in
the matter of population we have
thousands where in the long ago there
were only hundreds, it must not be
forgotten that the needs and demands
of the world have expanded, that
genius, invention and science, the di-
versions, business and social require
ments of mankind have multiplied vo-
cations and created opportunities for
material success to a degree that
would have appeared impossible to our
forefathers. The cry for competent
young men, strong in their integrity
and purpose, is as loud to day as ever
before, and it is up to the young man
himself to work out the chances of
success, just as il has been always

same errand. Mr.. Dempsey says that
foreign-born women are often obliged
to carry weapons for their own pro
lection and that it would be a hard
ship to them to be deprived of this
privilege.
Mr.. Esler, of Allegheny, has bill
providing for the education of all
classes of foreigners. He wants to
establish educational camps where the
foregn-born may have an opportunity
to learn the English language and
the American way of doing things
The idea is to teach the foreigner
something about our American gov
ernment in order that he may become
useful citizen.
