NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov 1.-THE ex-
citement in this city over the tragedy Mon
day afternoon in which Il. w. Carmack
eX-United States senator from Tennessee
and editor of the Tennesseean, this city,
was shot and killed by Robin Cooper, a
young attorney and son of Colonel Duncan
b. Cooper a close personal and political
friend of Governor NJ. NJ. Patterson, has
to certain extent abated, yet the tragedy
is still the sole topic of conversation in
political circles both in this city and
throughout the state.
Colonel Cooper, who was with his son
when the latter shot Carmack, has been
remanded to jail without bond, charged
with murder, while young Cooper remains
at hospital under guard while his wounded
arm is beng treated. His preliminary ex-
animation will be held as soon as he Is
able to leave the hospital
Friends of the Coopers throughout tn
state claim the affair was merely a stree.
duel in which both sides met and began
firing; that the Coopers had tried to AVOID
meeting with Mr.. Carmack and that they
were on their way to the state capital in
response TO telephone message from Gov
ernor Patterson when the tragedy occurred;
that Senator CarmaclI had been warned and
was expecting trouble.
The friends of Senator Carmack siren
uously claim that the killing was the re-
suit of a conspiracy in which men high in
authority were connected; that Mr.. Car
mack was wayiaid and assassnated while
he was on his way to his boarding house
and while he was talking TO a woman; ;
that when he left the Tennesseean office
for his boarding house the fact was tele-
phoned from O house near the Tennesseean
office and that thus the Coopers were noti-
fled that the senator was on his way and
to be on the alert.
1t now develops according to friends Of
Mr.. Carmack, that there was a third party
with the Coopers just before the. shooting,
an eX-county official who is a close per-
sonal friend Of both the Coopers and Gov
ernor Patterson Friends of the dead sem
ator intimate that there will be some sem
sational developments within a day or so
regarding the affair Neither Colonel
Cooper nor his son will give out any state
ment for publication.

VIOLENT BREAK IN MARKET
stocks Unloaded in Enormous
Amounts and Prices Drop
Revival Comes Later.

NEW YORK, Nov. IA violent break
in prices of the stocks of the Hartman
Pacific railroads caused feveriss and ex-
cited tone in the early stock market today
The stocks were unloaded in enormous
amounts by spectators who bought them
yesterday on rumors that dividends were
to be advanced at the directors meetings
today. Yesterdays rumors were discred-
tied over night and the belief prevailed
that only the regular dividends would be
declared.
Soon after the opening Southern Pacific
sold down to 116A compared with 117h at
the close last night and 1875 as the highest
yesterday. The low price for Union Pacific
on the break was 1888, compared with 1s1
at the close last night and 1sl9A at the
highest yesterday. The whole market de-
clned in sympathy. losses running from
to points in the active stocks. Support
became effective in the course of the first
half hour and prices rallied, with the ef-
feet of quieting the anxiety. The trading
had been at furious rate.
BY the time the action of the directors in
declaring regular dividends on Southern
Pacific and Union Pacific had been an
nounced the speculative selling of those
stocks seemed to be concluded This was
after Southern Pacific had declined an
nxtreme points and Union Pacific 2h. In
the rally of prices which followed there
was a diversion of speculative operations
to low-priced railroad stocks. which had It's
Inception in Erie That stock and some
others in that class moved up to points.
Colorado & Southern rose 31s and Wabash
preferred 2A.
Prices broke again the afternoon to new
low levels. The manifest instability Of
the market increased the urgency to unload
speculative holdings and invited aggressive
attack by the professional bears. American
Smelling sold 4 points below last night;
Union Pacific, 81 and Reading, 5.
The market showed some rallying tend
ency in the later dealings and the bears
rushed to take quick profit. The rally con-
tinued in progress up to the end of the
day, with a restoration OF between l and .
points of the extreme decline. The tone,
however, continued somewhat unsettled and
the closing showed some irregularlty, but
was generally steady.

At Union Pacific headquarters 1t was
learned that, getting beyond the control OF

a heavy freight train on the Union Pacific
west of Cheyenne tore down the track and
into the town of Borie at o'clock Tuesday
night, where an engine and a caboose were

dead were burned almost beyond recogni-
ton, The cause of the wreck has not
been determined, although an investigating
committee is now at work. The engineer
and fireman of the train which caused the
wreck are both dead, so the testimony will
have to come from the wreckage.
The train was under control of the engine
two stations back and the engineer slowed
down his train Leaving that station the
train started to gain speed as it journeyed
east until Conductor Mccormick noticed
the increased speed and rushing from the
caboose signaled the train men to apply the
hand brakes This was done but it had no
preceptibe effect on the train which con-
tinued to gain speed until It struck the
work train at Borie which is the junction
point of the new Borie cut off from the
main line.
Relief trains were FASTENED to the scene
of the wreck and the injured were re-
moved quickly as possible to the Union
Pacific hospital at Cheyenne.
The work train was Just leaving Borie for
Cheyenne and the caboose was filled with
laborers
The through trains on the Union Pacific
were blocked for about eight hours.
