RAILS CAUSE WRECK.
One Woman Killed and Several Other
Passengers Hurt.

one woman was killed, two were
perhaps mortally injured and nearl,
dozen persons were seriously hurt
when the White Mountain express
OF the New York, New Haven and
Hartford was wrecked 100 feet west
OF Greenwich, Conn, Thursday.
Spreading rails caused the ten-car
train to leave the tracks while IL was
crossing bridge over a steamboat
road, and five Of the passengers
cars, including four Pullmans. were
hurled into a ditch, where they col
lapsed like paper bboxes That less
than fifteen of $50 passengers were
killed or injured seems little short
of miraculous, as the train was going
fifty miles an hour.
The most tragic incident of the
wreck was the death of Miss Mar
garet Armstrong, of Wayne. Pa. who
was seated beside her mother in one
OF the Pullman coaches when the
train left the tracks. Miss Armstrong
sprang from her seat and leaped out
of window just as the car toppled
over and she was ground to death
as her mother looked on Mrs. Arm
strong tainted from the shock, and
when she recovered consciousness
in the hospital she was out of her
mind. The doctors administered
opiates to quiet her. They say her
condition is serious. and that she
may die, aiunough she was not in
jured in the wreck
The other woman who may die
is Mrs. A.W. Drake of II East Sth
street, New York city, who was
crushed in one of the cars. An im-
mediate investigation as to the cause
of the wreck is to be made. The
coroner has had the engineer and
both conductors of the train placed
under arrest. and he is having the
work of moving the wreckage watch

KILLED BY ENGINE.
Horrible Accident Occurred i'm Co.
lumbia Tuesday Night.

AT Columbia Mr.. James r. Milxel
met horrible and almost instant
death Tuesday night just few
minutes before the hour of midnight
at the corner of Gervais and Lincoln
streets. He was struck by a Seaboard
passenger engine at the point where
the tracks OF the Seaboard cross
Gervais street and his body was drag
ged about 100 feet north before the
engine passed over it.
Mr.. Mikell has been employed for
several weeks by the Seaboard as
a substitute watchman, and Tues
day night he was on duty at tho
Gervais street crossing, next to the
Seaboard station. Wien the south
bound passenger train arrived at IL.
40 p. M, he was at his post and
readily gave the proper signals. The
engine which brings this train to Co
iumbia from Portsmouth is relieved
here by another engine and crew. The
engine which brought the train into
the station had transferred to the
siding and was backing, going north
to the Sydney park yards, when it
struck Mr.. Mikell.
The engineer, Mr.. Jas Horton.
evidently failed to observe that his
engine had struck any object, for he
made no stop after striking the man
and was not aware that he had run
ever and killed man until some 20
afterward when the agent
called him over the telephone and
so informed him.

VICTORY FOR BRYAN.
REPUBLICAN LEADERS ADMIT
DEMOCRATS HAVE CHANCE
HAND Throttle of Party Machinery
is Hand of More Seasoned Enpi.
neer--Attention to New yorL

neer--Attention to New York.
In the view of practical politicians
In Washington the Democrats have
started well at Denver. 1t is candid.
~ admitted by prominent Repub-
ilcans there that the beginning Of
the campaign is under more auspi-
clous circumstances for the Demo-
crats than at any period of the party's
history since 1892. No one attempts
10 account for the fact that harmony
seems to have prevailed at Denver
10 an unusual extent, and that the
whole party machinery seems to have
Deen better oiled than at any time
1or sixteen years. The only explana-
ton offered is that the hand of the
man at the throttle was that of n
more seasoned engineer than In mast
years. Mr.. Bryan. according to
shewd observers, has learned some
things. Years have brought with
MIN the knowledge of placating on
posing clements, instead of putting
them at each others throats.
Men who were ten davs ago decl,r-
ed that Bryan had no earthly chance
of election in November now admin
that the beginning made at Den
yer is such as to ensure a rattling
campaign and possibly, Democratic
victory. II all depends, they believe
upon whether the Democratic cam
paign is smoothness as the prelimi-
the same smoothncss rs the prelimi-
nary stages. If 1t is November NAV
bring tidings of a change in govern
ment control.
There is little question. in the
minds of politicians that the fight
to be made by Mr.. Bryan will he
in the West and Middle West. That.
1t is pointed out, is plainly shown in
the platform. Mr. Bryan went ont
OF his way TO put up platform
that would catch the Western peopte.
and as plainly as If he had said il
himself the declaration OF principles
or the Democracy appeals TO West
ern sentiment and thought Mr.. Rry-
an will depend for his election upon
the South, with Nebraska, Kansas.
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois. India
ma and the Dakotas. and he expects
to give Mr.. Taft great fight in Ohio.
where the Republican party is still
torn with dissension. 1t is doubtful,
according to political reasoning, if |
the Democrats will give the slightest
attention to a single Eastern State,
unless it is New York. And whether
they will do that will depend upon
the developments in the entire State.
Mr. BrVan DlainlN saws m tho conn I
try that he has studied sentiment in
the West, and that he believes it will
be with him in November.
