A FATAL AUTO RIDE
MACHINE PLUNGEs OFF OF PIER
INTO NORTH RIVER AT
NEW YORK.
-FOUR OF THE OCCUPANTS ARE DROWNED
Vehicle Turned Over In Ito Leap,
Holding the Four Victims, Three
Women and One Man, Fast In Their
Seats-chauffeur, After Notifying
Relatives, surrenders to the Police.

New York, June 17.-Four persons
were drowned Monday night when an
automobile carrying a pleasure party
Of six became unmanageable, shot at
wild speed down West Flfty-sixth
street and bounded from an open pier
into the North river. The machine
turned over in its plunge from the
pier, holding the four victims fast In
their seats. The dead: Adeline Ber-
den, age 10 years; Mrs. Rose Cole
man, age 20 years; John Coleman,
age 8 years; Virginia Coleman, age
8 years. John Bauer, the chauffeur,
was carried into the river with the
machine, but managed to free himself
and swim to safety. John Nolan, one
of the party, jumped from the run
away machine as 1t neared the end
Of the dock. Bauer was taken into
custody by the police.
After taking his employer home
Monday night Bauer invited his
friends for a pleasure ride. With the
party he ran the machine down Fifty
sixth street at fair speed, intending
to 60 out on the dock. In some man
ner the brake failed TO work and the
machine began to skid. Down on the
dock It flew and Nolan leaped just In
time. The four victims were carried
down into the water and though two
young men who were standing on the
dock at the time made repeated eff
forts to rescue the drowning persons
by diving for them, they were unable
to do so. The body of Mrs. Coleman
was recovered shortly before midnight.
After swimming to the pier Bauer
went TO the relatives Of the four
drowned persons and notified them of
the accident. He then surrendered
himself 10 the police.

Some arrangement should be made

There is much traffic on this street,

passing drays and floats. the switch

of dust to envelop the entire section,

Still Paying Four
Cents Per Mile.

The four-cent per mile fare still
exists on the p. G. A. division of the
Louisville G. Nashville Railroad, not
withstanding the fact that for many
years efforts have been made to com
pei the railroad to reduce the rate on
this division. 1t has neither volun
tarily done so, nor has it been com.
PEELED to do so, and from the present
outlook many more years are to pass
while the Louisville & Nashville
charges an exhorbitant passenger
fare.
The Florida Railroad Commission,
according to the last reports, had
been allowed the privilege of inspect
ing the books of the company, provid-
ed it go to Louisville TO do so. 1t is
presumed that such has been done
but the four-cent fare still exists over
that section of Florida traversed by
this particular division. While other
states are fighting for two-cent rate,
and many OF them securing 1t, this
section of Florida has not been able
TO enjoy even a three-cent rate, which
is considered excessive by those who
are clamoring for lower rate and
securing II.
Railroad commissions have come
and gone, and from the progress
made by the present commission,
many others viii do likewise before a
three-cent fare is enjoyed over this

A San Diego, California, man, a
long time ago a resident of Vicks-
burg, has written a book about finan-
cial panics, giving the history of all
the disastrous ones since 1887. This
is all harmless enough, but ne has
discovered that tie thing needed for
the salvation OF the country is the
restoration of silver coinage on a
parity with gold, not exactly free, but
unlimittd, regardless of other nations,
etc. He writes letter to the Vicks-
steburg Herald, enclosing an aiver-
tisement of his book, which the Her
aid prints, together with the letter,
under the caption, "Hark from the
tombs-" In his letter he says:
81 am waging battle for the restora-
ton of the coinage of silver, on an
equality with gold. only that the gov
eminent should make charge OF
about 5 cents per ounce for the coin
age of silver. No charge was ever
made for the coinage of either metal
previous to 1873. Since then silver
has been bought for coinage at a com
mercial value. The restoration of sill.
yer to coinage would restore value of
cotton to Ii cents and wheat to 81, 20
per bushel. and silver bullion to S1.29
per ounce"

Mr.. Haskell, in his latest in regard
to the leasing to the Standard Oil
Company of the $4,000 acres OF
Usage Indian oil lands, referring to
the defense made that it was not
known to the president at the time
that the Standard Oil was the party

ers are receiving. Marvellous as it
may seem, the difference between the
royalty you fired for this lease and
the average amount received in the

fully equivalent to a net loss of &c..

in history as the most remarkable
in some important respects ever

The Jacksonville hack ordinance is
urged upon the city council of Pensa-
cola by The Journal as a good subject
for imitation. It says that in some
cases teams have been kept on serv-
ice for twenty-four hours while two
sets of drivers were used. OF the
condition and ill-usage accorded the
Pensacola hack horses the paper
draws this picture: Everyone knows
that PenSacOla's cab horses are I'M
derfed, neglected, overworked, and in
some cases brutally beaten Many of
them are but little more than skele-
cons, and draw vehicles about that
would disgrace the stone age. They
are left standing in rain and storm,
heat or cold, while the driver seeks
comfort elsewhere" The Journal
breaches a righteous crusade. May it
