CARMACK'S EDITORIAL
MADDENED THE CO0PERS

Atlanta Journal.
Nashville, Tenn, November TO-
While the killing of Senator Car
mack resulted from a series Of edi-
torials in The Tennessean attacking
Major Cooper and the so-called "Pat-
terson machine," it is generally ad-
mitted that an editorial in The Ten
nessean of last Sunday did more t.,
anger Major Cooper and his friends
than any other written by Senator
Carmack. That editorial described
the reconciliation Of Governor Pat
terson and Ex-Governor Cox, the long
time bitter and political and personal
foes. through the efforts of Majol
Cooper. The editorial follows:
ACROSS the Muddy Chasm.'
"We trust there will be no un-
seemly ribaldry on the part of the
base vulgar concerning the happy re-
union Of longsundered hearts which
was accomplished in the joyous re-
concilliat:on of His Excellency, Hon
NJ. R. Patterson, ami His ex-Excel-
lency, Hon. John Isaac Cox. All
honor to that noble spirit, Major
Duncan Brown Cooper, wht
wrought this happy union Of congen.
ial and ccrfluxible spirits, separated
by evil fates, though born for each
other. All honor to Major Dune, and
may the blessing of the Peacemake,
be upon him! May he be heir to all
the beatitudes, and especially to The
blessing reserved for those who dc
hunger ard thirst after righteous

the median line of the anatomy.
"Another bullet entered the left
shoulder and lodged about four and
one-half inches below the right nip
pie under the skin. Both of these
wounds were clean ones, and I do not
think they were the fatal ones.
''The third bullet, which conceive
to be the fatal one, was in the neck.
The wound was one and one-half in

taken to Columbia, his former home,
tomorrow.
The combatants were evidently
very close together when the firing
began, but the question of who fired
first shot is in controversy. Mrs.
Charles H. Eastman of this city and
J. NJ. Eastman Of New York were
nearby when the tragedy occurred.
Mr.. Eastman's hearing is not good,
and he declared he knew but little Of
the affair. Mrs Eastman said:
An Eye Witness Statement.
'EWe were walking down Seventh
avenue in the direction of Church
street and had just passed the en-
trance to the Polk Flats. Mr.. Car
mack came up the street towards Us,
smiling as he recognized me. He was
some steps away, and there were
very few people on the street. Mr..
Eastman and were near the edge OF
the sidewalk, and Mr.. Carmack would
have passed between US and the fence.
He raised his hat as we spoke. He
had his right hand up and was about
to make a remark when somebody
said-it was the older voice-'We've
got you all right or something to
that effect. I can't say positively
what the exact words were. It never
occurred that it was anything more
than a friend speaking. Mr.. Car
mack raised his eyes, Instantly put Oh
his hat and ran his hand back, when
the same voice said: 'You coward,
you are hiding behind woman are
you?' Senator Carmack jumped out
so as to get clear Of me, and I jump
ed into a gateway. I saw that Mr..
Carmack had pistol. I turned and
said, 'For Gods sake don't shoot.
I saw Mr.. Carmack wheel and fall in
a heap in the gutter.'' -
Mrs. Eastman said she saw the
young man standing over Mr.. Car
mack and that he put something into
his own nocket.

Washington, Nov. 15.-Former
Register of the Treasury Judson w.

for the increased Republican vote in
Georgia on November 3 is due al
most entirely to colored voters. He
says:

MANY MINERS KILLED
BY AN EXPLOSION IN A GERM IN
NINE.
Only Forty-one Out Of Nearly Four
Hundred Workmen Escape the
Awful Disaster.

Hamm, Westphalia, Germany,
Nov. 12.-The greatest mine disas-
ter in many years in Germany oc-
Cured this morning n the Radbod
mne, about three miles from this
place. There was a heavy explosion
in the mine about 4 o'2lock this
morning and almost Immediately the
mine took fire.
There were $50 miners working
under the ground at the time and
only six escaped without injury.
Thirty-fve were taken out slightly
isjured and 81 were dead when
brought to the mouth of the pit
The remaining 302 have been given
up for lost.
The explosion, which was. unusu-
ally violent, destroyed one OF the
shafts, which had to be partly repair
ed before the rescue work was De-
gun. In addition, the flames and
smoak proved almost insurmountable
obstacles in the early efforts Of the
rescuing parties.
A special corps, composed OF the
men who rendered such valuable aid
in the terrible mine disaster at
Courrieres, France, in March OF
1906, arrived on the scene shortly
before noon, but were unable to
enter the mine, being forced to await
enc result of the determined efor.
of the fremen to keep the flames
in check.
Meantime heart-rending scenes
were being enacted at the mine when
the dead and wounded were brought
TO the surface, and there were SINH
lar scenes in the town where the in
jured were transported through the
streets to the hospitals.
At o'clock the fire had made
great headway and later in the
afternoon, after consultation Of the
engineers, it was decided that any
further attempts to rescue the en-
tombed men were vain, owing to the
impossibility Of entering the galleres.
At the same time an order was IS
sued to food the mine.
First reports indicated that the
accident was the result Of an e1-
plosion Of coal dust, but the state
ments Of the injured men render this
and it is not clear just
what caused it.
