Sprained-

sprained.
Fireman Hewett has a sprained an.
kle and bruises about the collar bone
and shoulder.
None of the other enginemen and
none of the trainmen were hurt.
An incident of the collision which
shows how light was the shock, is
told of Conductor Campbell going
through the passenger train after the
collision to see if any person was
seriously hurt, and finding two ba-
bies that were fast asleep as if moth
ing had occurred.
The passenger engine, No. O234
was the smaller of the two, and its
front end pierced the front end of
the larger one to a depth of two feet.
Both front ends or smoke boxes
were demolished, as also were the
were broken. Some of the journals
were sprung and both cabs were
more or less wrecked. Not a wheel
left the rails. although the fronts of
the two engines jumped upward a
foot or two, only to settle on the
track again. The couplings between
engines and tenders were crushed
The cars were uninjured, with the ex-
ception of few boards being Jared
off the side of an old cattle car
The trainload of cattle was on its
way from Pecos City TO pasture in
Colorado.
After the collision an engine was
sent from Roswell and pulled the
passenger equipment, entirely unin-
jured, back to this station. The pass
engers remained over night here and
went south on a made-up train about
noon today. The damaged engines
were brought to South Spring station
early this morning, and the cattle
train was allowed to proceed on its
way. Later the engines were brought
to Roswell for repairs.
An investigation of the collision
will be held here late this afternoon,
when the real cause probably will be
learned.

PRESBYTERIANS CALL
DR.. w. c. ALEXANDER.

DR.. w. c. ALEXANDER.
At a congregational meeting held
at the church last night the members
of the First Presbyterian church of
Roswell extended a call to Rev. w.

d. c., to succeed Rev. E. E. Davis, re-
signed. The vote of the congregation
was unanimous to extend the call.
A great many people of Roswell will
be gratified if DR. Alexander decides
to accept the call of the local church,
and there are reasons to believe that
such will be his action in the mat
ter. He has visited his son, L. R. AL
exander, IN this city on various occa-
sions, during which he has preached
several sermons to the people of this
church. In this way and by his person
ality as we'll he has made great ma
ny friends, all of whom would like to
see him come to Roswell to live. 1t is
thought that he will not only fill the
pulpit capably but will make splen-
did pastor.

Answer to Questions on Temperance

w. r. Lambert, Superintendent nti-Saloon
League of Florida has issued an address to the
temperance people of Florida, extracts from which
are especially pertinent at this time. The following
question asked by Mr. Lambert of the candidates
for Governor, viz:
will you, If elected, incorporate into your
message to the General Assembly, clause urging
the passage of bill providing for the submission to
the people for ratification rejection, constitution.
al amendment prohibiting the manufacture, SALE or
exchange of Intoxicating liquors.
Hon. j. N. c. Stockton writes as follows Il have
no hestancy in saying that If l nominated and
elected Governor shall urge the passage of bill
providing for the submission to the people for rat6
cation or rejection constitutional amendment
prohibiting the manufacture. sale, or exchange OIL
intoxicating liquors"
Hon. Albert w. Gilchrist makes the following
reply 1t is not my intention to use the power OF
the Executive in urging the passage of this matter
If we are to get this amendment submitted to the
people, the temperance voters of the State must
to it that we not only get good men in the Legis-
ature. but also Governor who is committed to the
people to incorporate it into his message. And we
sincerely hope that they will carefully consider the
replies of the candidates given above and cast their
ballots accordingly

Jew drummer from Jacksonville, representing a
whiskey house of that city, spent two or three days
in Jasper prior to the election, and while here made
himself very offcious, much so, in fact, that he
become obnoxious and Tuesday evening, after the
election, he advised that the best thing he could
do for his own safety-was to leave town nstanter
that the people of this county were competent to run
its politics without his assistance.
So he needed this advice, and took the first train
out to pastures new and suckers numerous. Jasper

Jacksonville, Fla, June D.
Hon. George West Wilson, presi-
dent of the Florida Publishing
company and editor-in-chief Of the
Florida Times Union, died at his
residence in this city today, after a
long illness.
Wr. Wilson's death will be
mourned throughout the state. He
was a man of great ability and
high character, and in the position
of editor of the states leading
newspaper he had welded power.

of all sections of Florida.
Mr.. Wilson was formerly en-
gagged in the orange growing bust
ness in Marion county, but the
great freeze of 1896 destroyed his
grove and he soon afterward moved
to Jacksonville and was appointed
editor-in-chief of the Times Union,
which had been consolidated with
the Citizen.
His health has been bad for sew
eral years. Last year he was
forced to go to a sanitarium in the
east for treatment and was greatly
benefited. Recently, however he
has been failing rapidly, and for
several days it has been known that
he could not recover.
The funeral arrangements have

whereas, There arises from time to time in the
history of free peoples such crisis as cause the obi
cations of citizenship to become the supreme duty OF

! Whereas, 1t is our deliberate Judgment that such
a crisis exists now in Florida because of the
audaciouS attempt being made by the saloon power,
both in State and outside of it, to dominate and
control our Government, by the corrupt use of large
sums of money and by the free distribution of intox
eating liquors; and.
Whereas, We believe that our friend and fellow
citizen, Rev. ]. w. Bigham, possesses peculiar
ability to present to our people the MORAL
ELEMENTS involved in the pending conflict be-
tween the saloons and the better citizenship of our
State: Therefore be it
Resolved By the Ministers Alliance, acting as
Christian citizens;
1. That we urge our friend and brother to devote
to these MORAL ISSUES in the existing conflict be-
tween the saloon and Our orderoving SOBER law
abiding people so much of his time as can be spared
to this unselfsh, non-partisan work
2. That we respectfully call upon our brethren in
his congregation to lend him, for little while, to
this great cause of helping to morality and
good government from threatened danger.
g. That we also commend his work to the favor
and cooperation of our brethren and all good citizens
in Florida, inasmuch as the contest is no longer
mere personal rivalry between two citizens for the
honors of Office, but conflict between bribery cor
ruption and iusobriety championed by the saloons
the one hand and the honor aud good morals of our
State and people ON the other.
a. That respectfully call upon the press of Flor
ida to lay aside all paralites for this or that person
and to give publicity to the discussion of this high
theme of public morality involved in the coming
primary, and to publish this paper conspicuously in
their columns. We also urge Our brethren Of all
churches and all good citizens, who can possibly
spare their time for this good work to do whatever
they can along this line

0iIchrist's Supporters

Many who voted for Gilchrist did SO under the
impression that he was the friend of the common
people because of his genial ways and humble mien.
The General is of the people, but his hackers, the
corporations and railroads not the people" and
while Gilchrist may we'll enough he will not be
permitted to carry out his own ideas.
If not representing the corporations at the present
time he certainly owes his support to them and If
elected he will be obliged to pay off his obligation.
