wRRCx NEAR CLAYTON

A flusthbBhnd freight train crashed
into tlis rear of another northbound
freight on the Delaware railroad, about
half d mile north Of Clayton station,
about 3 O'Clock Thursday morning, and
iur time there was much commotion.
THE engine oI the rear train and several
cars sere wrecked, the engine being put
osls III commission, but nobody was hurt.
M. B. Ryan Of Wilmington, was the
engineer and B. ]. Draper, also OF VIII
nington, the fireman. The latter inmps q
from the engine or was thrown by the
impact, but he was unii,inred. TIE
engineer did not leave the engine.
: The cause Of the accident is not def.
nitely known. The forward train, it is un-
derstood, had stopped ii order to allow
the locomotive to take water. The, rear
train vas proceeding slowly, and anefort
was made to bring it to standstlii IN
time to avoid a collision, but without
success. It was very long train, the
cars OF which were loaded mainly with
potatoes.
Several Of the cars we're deTaiied, block
ing The tracks, aud it was necessary 70
build a temporary track around the
wreck in order to allow trains to get BY.
Wreeking crews and machinery were put
TO work without delay, and as a result
the tracks we're in good shape today.
The extent OF tile damage is not fully
known. II is believed that the locomo-
tive will not require extensive repairs.
although it was sent to the shops at Will
mington. Three cars we're badly damaged
but the wreck was not as serious as u
would have been if the train was running
rapidly.
II is said that there was tramp on
one OF tile cars that was wrecked, and q
report was circulated that he had been
badly injured, but if be was there be
must have gotten away before the COLI
sion, for no trace Of him was found. IL
was thought his body might be in the
wreckage, but it was not there.

RAILROAD RATE LAWS

There is to be no war in North
Carolina. The militia is not to
be called upon to arrest all the
ticket agents Of the Southern
Railroad Company. A truce has
been declared and the courts are.
to do the rest. Judge Pritchard
Of the United States Court on
Monday decided that thetrate
law passed by the legislatu &c IS
unconstitutional and men who
had been arrested and fined by
state officials were released,
The position taken by the Judge
was that penalties inflicted oy
the statute would close the doors
to a judicial hearing and would
involve the railroad company IN
fines amounting to millions OF
dollars. The conflict had been
warm for a few days and the hot
heads were doing all sorts OF
talking. But there was sent
from Washington to Asheville q
representative of p resident
Roosevelt who promised the
state authorities that the matter
Of the constitutionality OF the
rate law would be fastened to a
consideration by the Supreme
Court of the United States. Pend
ing this action there IS to be
nothing more done in the direc.
tion Of arresting ticket sellers in
North Carolina.
The question of the soVer-
eighty of the state is not actually
involved in theissue, as some have
tried to make it appear. The
claim is that property rights
were in danger Of being destroyed
by the enforcement of the law, in
advance of any judicial determin-
alton in respect to its standing.
Judge Pritchard bases his action
on a decision of the Supreme
Court in q similar case and dis
puts any intention on his part to
interfere with the state authori-
ties. Now it is to hasten the
matter to the court of lastresort.
I'm other states tests ale to be
made Of the rate laws recently
passed, and before long it ought
to be possible to secure q decis-
ion that will cover all cases OF
that kind now pending or liable
to arise. The basis of the attack
on the North Carolina law is that
it violates the Federal Gonstitu
tion, and thus the Federal judge
had q perfect right to intervene,
although it is yet insisted that
his methods have been irregular.
The argument is made that the
sweeping provision for a univer-
sal rate for all railroads in a
given state is unjust and thus
unconstitutional. Morning Neaes.

TAMMANY IS
COMING WEST
BOSS MURPHY AND R. T. O'CONNOR
EXPECTED TO HOLD CONFER
ENNCE AT MOUNT CLEMENS.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Charles F..
Murphy, fresh from his Tammany vic
tory in New York is going West to
confer with the leading democratic
politicians.
Next years presidential nomination
will be considered, and in view Of the
recent results, Leader Murphys pres
tige and position is certain to be given
unusual attention by the democratic
politicians generally. The Tammany
tiger with its well equipped organiza-
ton comes up smiling and strong over
its success in putting William R..
Hearst out Of business.
1t is pointed out that Tuesdays cleo
don results are anything but encourage
ing for Bryan and his friends.
The places where he campaignsd
went republican.
The places he stayed away from
went democratic.
Bryan stumped Kentucky for the
ticket but it went down to defeat.
He hObnObbed with William r.
Hearst in New York, and the Indepen-
dence league got whipped by Tammany
Mr.. Bryan kept ont of Maryland,
where there was lively fight, and
Maryland went democratic.
In the Cleveland mayoralty fight
Tom Johnson did not invite Bryan to
lend a helping hand and he seems to
have got along very very we'll without
the aid of the peerless leader
All these and many other interesting
phases Of the situation are to be con-
sidered by Boss Murphy at Mount
