COLLISION
--.~-~---
Norfolk and Western Fire
man Buried Beneath the
Wreck of His Engine
Engineer and Brakeman
Seriously Injured.

A disastrous wreck occurred -
the Norfolk and Western at Pritoh-
ard, sma'l station on tho Big sandy
ten miles south OF Kenova. TirsAsa
Spaulding was burned under Q great
mass OF debris and Instantly KILLED.
Charles Eagle. an engineer. received
an awful cut In the head. and -
we're bruises about the limbs ana
body. bus will recover. Charles
Kelley. a brakeman was dangerous
ly hurt. and win probably die.
The accident occurred at cour
O'Clock yesterday morning. and vas
In the nature OF head-on collisisn.
A southbound freight train MAJ
stepped at Prltchard siding TO take
on coal, and was standing on She
siding. A aorthbound trains crash
Cd into the other. overturning the ea-
CINE and piling up several cav q
the moving train I'm heap OF ruh-
bish. Part of the crews os the tive
trains escaped by jumping. but tAreo
were caught, and Fireman Spsuldina
was buried deep under the Ercas
mass OF rubbish which followed ths
collision, and at two O'Clock ysetsr-
day afternoon his body had not been
found. A large crew of wrsokine
men were called out OF Portsmsath
Immediately upon receipt OF che news
OF the accident, and Il 10 pelievs4
that within few hours. spauldisss
body would be recovered.
The injured men were taken t.
kenova and the railway purgeen.
DR.. W. #. Sturgil, OF Ceredo, assist-
ed by Drs. MoNer and Cor. OF KeRs-
va gave the.i surgIcan at.catisa.
Kelly's right les was ampitated 30
'ow the knee. He was badly cut
and bruised in various places. ana
Is believed To have sustained serious
internal injuries.
Engineer Eagle received q severe
cut In the head, and for a timc it
was believed his sku'l had been frsc-
tured. A critical examination, how
ever showed that this was not true
and IL Is believed that he will re-
cover.
Spauldlng's fate is something OF q
mystery, beyond the fact OF KNOWING
that he lies dead under the mass Of
debris, nothing Is known OF the mas.
ner OF death he died. Eagle, 80 Ne
jumped from the engine, saw SpauiA-
Ing clInging to the window on ths
other side, apparently attempting 70
jump, but does not believe that he
ever lost his hold.
No official reports has yet been
rendered as to the cause OF the ao-
cident. II Is stated u1officislly thas
the engineer OF the nor.hbouhd train
overlooked an order to stop At Rick
ard for coal and crashed into the
southbound train which was statieA-
ed on the northern section OF TIE
siding.
All northbound trains were delay
ed Eeveral hours by the wreck.
Southbound trains were sent over
the Twelve Pole valley line, aRa
were but slightly delayed.

There is more catarrh IA this sec
ton Of the country than ell other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
10 al treatment, pronounced It In
durable. Science has proven "a
tarrh to be constitutional disease
and therefore requires c Institutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. j. Cheney &
Co., Toledo. Ohio, is the only consti-
tutional cure on the market. It is
taken internally in doses from 10
drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts d.

they can put out better steel than

that We pay our workmen more mon

WELFARE OF
CHILDREN
The Child Labor Conference
Makes Suggestions For
State Laws

New Orleans, March 31.-The
southern child labor conference at
It's session here last night adopted
resolutions embodying number OF
important recommendations for leg
ialation on the subject OF child labor
IN the south.
The following are the recomcner-
dations in substance:
The employment In factories OF
no child under the age of IA years.
The employment In a mine or quar-
ry of no child under the age OF 16
years.
The employment OF no child under
the age OF 16 years in any galnful
occupation except agricultural AMI
domestic survice unless such child
can read and write simple sentences
IN the Engli n language.
That no boy under the age OF &c
nor girl under the age OF Is years,
except In agricultural or domestic
service be employed between the
hours OF Z p. IN. and 8 a. m.
An eight hour day law for chill
dren under 16 years OF age, and for
all women.
Employment under the certificate
plan.
The employment by the state OF
proper officials for the inspection
of all mines and factories, with the
power to prosecute violations.
Making the conference a perma-
nent organization.
In connection with the recommer-
dalton for employment under the
certificate system, the provisions OF
the Kentucky law are endorsed, and
it is further recommended chat a
law requiring the registration OF all
births be adopted by every southern
state to insure a proper issuance OF
certificate.
At the morning session OF the con-
ference Oliver X. Loveioy, OF New
York, general secretary OF the Ma
tional Child Labor committee, made
an address in which he declared
that the south wants capital, but that
capital must conform TO reasonable
statutes for the guarding OF the wei
fare of the children.

JUDGE WARNS
NEGRO RACE
Unless They Check Their
Career of Brutal Crimes
No One Can Tell What
Will be the Result
The Baltimore Sun says:


Judge George j. Hundley, in scr
fencing Joe and Isham Taylor and
Walter Jenkins. convicted of the dou-
BILE murder and burning OF Mrs. Mary
Il. Skipwith and Walter G. Johnson.
a month ago, to the electric chair,
delivered remarkable warning 20
the negro race in Virginia, drawing
a feson from the difference OF treat
ment in the northern and southern
states in cases of this kind. Judge
Hundley said:
IF you Were the only ones affect
ed by the result of this trial, might
send you to your doom in silence,
for it is painful to think or speak
of. but when I reflect that the muir
der must have been PLANNED with the
knowledge os many of your race,
that not one OF them lifted a finger
to prevent 1t and that none OF them
after It's commission aided in the ef-
fort to discover the criminals. /
would be false to convictions of du.v
IL / fabed TO utter some words OF
warning to your people. The savages
who once roamed over this land
never planned q massacre with more
heart'ess cruelty. You were NOT
strangers to the man or 20 the aged
and helpless woman you murdered.
but you lived almost at their door
and fed upon their bounty. You
came to their door in the night, and
with The voice and language OF
friends you called the man to the
door and shot him. Drained the good
esd lady with an axe, dragged her
body down the steps like the carcass
OF slaughtered beast and burned
them up in their own dwelling, in al
likelihood while still alive.
The most discouraging and shock
ing features of 1t is that so many
of you in the same neighborhood
could be induced to engage in &c:
that IT could be conducted with such
your whole people with so much in
difference. Viewed in that light 1t
assumes a dark and sinister aspect;
marks al epoch in the history OF
your race and furnishes a sad COM
mentary on the long and patieht
struggle of good men to find way
by which two distinct, diverse and
alien people may dwell together IL
peace under the same institution ant
laws with equal opportunities nd
privileges.
1T is proper that your people
should know and realize the fAcr
that the protecting arm of the, law
has been thrown around you from
the beginning to the end of your
trial; that two white lawyers living
in this county have, at the request of
the court, without fee or reward,
bravely and ably defended you in the
face OF adverse criticism from
thought!ess people. The Judge who
preside5 was sent here with letter
from the governor in his pocket
warning Of probable riot and lawless-
ness and promising to support che
law officers with all the power OF
the commonwealth, If necessary, 10
protect you, but with full confidence
