Strong Men Weep ct Funeral Of Ex-

Columbia, Tenn.-Columbia 10 IN
mourning over her dead citizen, Ex-
Senator Edward w. Carmack. Many
buildings were draped in black, out Of
respect to the man who met such .
violent death in Nashville last Monday.
Nearly every person in the city and
many from the surrounding country
galnered to do honor TO the dead. In
addition there we're present distinguish
ed men and women from many sections
of the State. The services were, at the
request of Mrs. Carmack, very simple,
but they were nevertheless very impress
sive, and the scenes at the church AMI
the grave where the distinguished states
man was laid to rest were such as will
never be forgotten by the thousands of
sorrowing friends present. The services
were in charge of Rev. w. T. Boaz, pas
tor of the Christian Church of which
Senator Carmack was a member. The
occasion was profoundly impressive, and
withal one of the most deeply sorrowful
ever witnessed in the South and the
scenes enacted in this beautiful little
city, as thousands gathered to honor
the memory of one whom all respected
and admired, will never pass from the
memory of those present.
The floral offerings came in designs of
elaborate proportions, from counties,
different organizations and individuals.
They were so numerous that a.; could
mot be taken into the church.
As the caskct bearing the remains of
Senator Carmack was taken to the chan
eel strong men broke down completely

FATAL RAILROAD COLLISION
Wreck Caught Fire and Horrible
Scenes Resulted.

New Orleans.-It was a heavy price in
human flesh and blood that paid for the
errors of railroad trainmen when
Great Northern express crashed into the
rear of a New Orleans & Northeastern
local shortly before Q o'clock Wednes-
day morning at Little Woods Station,
twelve miles from this city. fjr
Eleven dead and many more injured,
some of them fatally, is the record OF
the wreck, which was attended by un-
usually grewsome scenes in the fog
bound swamps of the lake shore. To add
to the horror of the situation, the wreck
caught fire, and only the heroic efforts
of the surviving passengers prevented
the cremation of those pinned down in
the debris.
One of the passengers who rushed
forward from the Great Northern train
saw a little golden-haired boy with his
hands waving piteously above his head
apparently unable to extricate himself
from the wreckage, which was fast set
ting down upon him. A score or more
Of men, some of them stained with their
own blood, made an heroic effort to get
to the child, but the wreckage and es-
Gaping steam from the partially demol-
ished locomotive cut of their way and
they were forced to stand idly by as the
little voice, calling feebly for help, grew
weaker and weaker, and was finally
hushed.
This child proved later to be Willie
Attaway, the 3-year-old son of Mrs.
Alphonse Attaway, of Slidell, La. His
little body was taken out of the wreck.

again." said Senator Charles Dick, Mr..
Foraker's colleague, before starting for
Ohio Wednesday. Senator Dick stated
emphatically that Senator Foraker in

Senator Dick, Il do not believe they will
BE- able TO take the prize from him."

national prominence both as a statesman
and an orator. He served two terms in
congress from the Memphis district, took
a leading part in the national Demo
cratic convention Of 1896 as a delegate,
and served six years in the senate.
Beside his career as a statesman and
in politics, he had a reputation as an
orator second to no man in the South,
and was also known as one OF the leading
editorial writers Of the country.
Received Academic Education
He was born Nov. 5, 1855, near Cas-
tt liam Springs, in Sumner county, Ten
nessee. He received an academic educa-
tion, after attending the country schools,
and afterwards studied law and was ad-
mitted to the bar while a young man.
lie practiced law at Columbia, Tenn, for
several years and early entered politics,
being elected member Of the lower
house of the legislature in 1854. lie soon
became noted as a public speaker and
Also a writer, and in 1856 he was made
one OF the editorial writers on the Nash
vile American.

old.
His Public Career.
In 1896 he was elected to congress
from the Memphis district, where he
served until 1901, when be was elected
to the United States senate.
He did not re-enter politics until this

against Gov. NJ. n. Patterson. This cam
pnign was one OF the most spectacular
that has been waged in recent years in
Tennessee.
The i,sie before the people of Tennes-
see in that campaign was that Of state
wide prohibition, which cause was es-
poused by Mr.. carmack, and upon which
he met defeat by large popular major
ity OF the Democratic voters of the State.
Senator Carmsck was regarded as one
OF the most brilliant rapid fire debsters
in the United States senate. His bril-
liancy and quick wit enabled him TO sue
ccssfully combat with the brains Of staid
and learned solons Of many years expe-
risnce, and be spread CONSERVATION and
dread in their midst whenever a debate
was before the senate.
Senator Carmack's attack on President
Roosevelt and the Philippine policy was
the most brilliant work credited 10 him
in the senate. lie fought the expansion
principle to the bitter end, and severely
aIraigned the president for his advocacy
Of expansion and the retention of the
Philippine Islands.
In handling national issues Mr.. Oar.
mack was second only To William Jen-
nings Bryan as an orstor.

said, notified Mr.. Carmack that the ref
erences to him must cease.

The men fought at close quarters and
there were but few witnesses. They met
directly in front Of the Polk flats, fash
ionable apartment house. Mr.. Carmaek
had Just lifted his hat to Mrs. Charles
II. Eastman, q friend, who was passing.
In a moment the firing began, and Mrs.
Eastman was Mortified witness at close
range. Cooper's friends charge that Car
mack fired the first shot, but the dead
mans friends stoutly protest that his OPP
ponent was the first to shoot.
Mrs. Charles H. Eastman, Of Nash

body said--it was the older voice; We
have got you all right or something to
that effect. / can't say positively what
the exact words were. II never occurred
TO me that il was anything more than a
