PASSENGER HAD
NARROW ESCAPE
THRILLING EXPERIENCE OF 5IR-
MlNGHAM MAN ON THE
A.. 3. & A. YESTERDAY.

Passengers who arrived yesterday
Chief Clerk Samuels, of the Ogle-
thorpe story OF the thrilling escape
from death of passenger, James
Hodgson, of Birmingham. A hot box
OF the rear coach demanded attention
just before the train reached Fitzger-
stopped Among half dozen passen-
gers who alighted to watch the oper-
alton of replacing the metals and re-
packing the box was Hodgson, a
large heavy, elderly man, who carried
his umbrella with him.
When the train started he did not
reenter the train from the front end
of the coach with the other specta-
tors, but waited for the rear platform,
next the sleeper, and like which, be-
ing vestibuled, was barred by trap
and door which closed flush with the
side, and leaving only a slender toe
hold on the lower step under the trap,
and but one meager handhold. Thus,
with body pendant from the train
and swaying to almost certain death
with each vibration of the car, the
endangered man hung desperately on
while the train rushed through the
night. His strength was fastly leay-
ing him; the noise drowned every eff
fort to attract attention of crew or
passengers within. Finally, he, hav-
inc clung to his umbrella thought of
it as an aid to his rescue, and, reach
ing the length of the toilet to the
first window of the coach succeeded
in striking the glass a blow which
broke it and arouse the crew and
drowsy passengers. At first it was
believed the breaking of the glass was
the work of a miscreant; that it was
a signal FOR help naturally did not
present itself at once; but after some
moments, one of the crew rushed to
the vestibule where he met the Pull
man conductor who had just emerged
from his car, and was trying to raise
the trap of the coach platform. When
the door was thrown open Hodgson
was dragged from his perilous perch.
1t was several minutes before he
could speak: then he told his res
cuers he had given up hope and that
he could not have held on thirty Sec
onds longer. He said: 81 have broken
window, but | will gladly pay for it
as it is the cheapest investment | ever
made"

Before Tournament

The Brunswick Gun club will hold
their regular weekly shoot out at the
grounds this afternoon, which will be
the last shoot before the big tourna
ment tC be held under the auspices
of the club on next Tuesday and
Wednesday.
Every indication points to one of
the most successful tournaments ever
leld in the state. Expert and anna
teur trap shooters from several SOU
thern states will be present. and it
may be that some records will be
broken over the local traps. The local
club has done everything possible to
make the tournament sucsess. The
program is very attractive one. More
money than is usually the case is
added to each event and two attrac-
tive haudicaps, one each day, is on
the program.
Some OF the local shooters have
been doing excellent shooting during
the season and they will likely be up
with some of the high amateurs. It
is expected that large number of
the members will attend the shoot
this afternoon.

American Cable Company Has
Big Row on With Newfoundland

Morris. as premier, which was In op-
position to Sir Robert oBnd and which
succeeded in the election which took
place in Newfoundland a few weeks
ago. The new administration repudia-
ted the contract. Thereupon the Com
mercial Cable company wrote a letter
OF protest to Sir Edward P. Morris and
Sir Edward, who is in London, makes
an answer. The Anglo-American Tel
egraph company. British corporation
operating cables between Great Britain
and the United States in competition
with the Commercial Cable company,
also joins in the controversy, and has
written letter to the British colonial
secretary to the effect that the con-
tract should not be observed, because
it will injure the interests of that COM
pany. The Commercial Cable COM
pany now makes reply. and shows that
the object of the Anglo-American
company is to re-establish the monop-
oily that it held for fifty years prior to
1904. The Commercial Cable company
states that it's position is that it made
a legal and reasonable contract with
a responsible British government and
invested over a million dollars on the
faith of that contract, and that conse-
quently it expects the Newfoundland
government to respect the contract
and not to repudiate 1t simply because
one party to 1t is an American corpora
tion, and because British corporation
complains that it will be hurt by the
contract.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram., 1909-08-27

New York, Aug. 27.-The difficulties
between the Commercial Gable COM
pany and the Newfoundland govern
ment are assuming fnternatioal i'm
portance. The Commercial Cable CON-
pany sought to fight out its battle di-
rectly with Premier Morris of New
foundland, but now the Anglo-Ameri-
can Telegraph company. which lands
in Newfoundland, has Joined forces
with the premier by writing to the
British colonial office in London. The
Commercial Cable company. therefore.
has two opponents.
The issue is whether the Newfound-
land government has the right to re-
pudiate a reasonable legal agreement
on the faith of which over one million
dollars has been expended by an Amer
fcan corporation. The Anglo-Ameri-
can Telegraph company is evidently
trying to inject another issue into the
controversy. namely whether it shall
hereafter have a monopoly of the New
foundland business as it had for fifty
years.
The Commercial Cable company, an
American corporation. operates five ca
bles from the United States to Europe.
It expended over a million dollars in
a new cable to Newfoundland, under a
contract made by the Newfoundland
government last February, when Sir
Robert Bond was premier, and the
present trouble is with the new admin
istration headed by Sir Edward P.

REUNION WAS HELD

On the 25th inst. the Parrish and
Phillips families met at Glen Miller
Park for their first reunion. There
has been a desire for a number of
years for an annual reunion of the
two families, so Captain J. R. Phillips
of Winchester, Ind, and Mr.. William
N. Parrish of this city issued an invi-
, tatiOn about month ago to come to
Richmond for the first reunion and
was responded to by about one hun
dred, thus proving to be a grand sue
cess.
The two deserve much credit and
thanks from all for the ample arrange
ments and the pleasant manner all
were received and cared for during the
day.
Captain J. r. Phillips acted as
chairman and at the proper time in
vited all to surround the tables. which
were groaning with the bountiful and
attractive dinner. James Parrish OF
Crete. Ind. in a clear and impressive
, manner offered thanks to the Ruler OF
All. To say that all did full justice to
the excellent dinner would be putting
it mild.
After dinner we were again called
to order and it being the unanimous
opinion to make it an annual reunion
an organization was then perfected.
The following officers for the COM
ing year were unanimously elected:
President, Capt. j. R. Phillips, Win
chester, Ind.
Vice President, William N. Parrish
Richmond.
Secretary. Miss Bertha westfall
Greenville, o.
Treasurer, Mrs. Mary Parrish JEFF
ferries, Richmond.
Springfield o., and Richmond, Ind.
were put in nomination for the mex,
meeting place. Richmond received the
larger vote hence at the same place
next year.
The time of meeting was left with
the officers which they will announce
in due time.
As I am not able at this time to give
names and addresses of all present on
this occasion l will give the places as
I now recollect represented:
Richmond, Winchester, Dublin
Rockport, Crete. Lynn, Fountain City
| and Hartman, Tennessee.
All having such good social time
together talking over old times, ETC.
hence will look forward with pleasure
to the annual reunions and I venture
the prediction that the next one will
be more largely attended, and under
the efficient officers and assistance
and cooperation of all will be much
more of a success.
