George W. Martin, Now in City,
Makes History in
Tennessee.

Among the big coterie of railroad
men here for the rate hearing is one of
the most famous passenger agents in
the United States, George W. Martin,
general western agent of the Rock
Island, with offices in Denver. Mr.
Martin is in the railroad business be
cause he likes it, as he is the sOn-in-
law of United States Judge Caldwell,
who, as a Lincoln appointee and famous
jurist, has had a number of good pO-
iticai appointments at his disposal.
MI. Martin is a Tennesseean and one
OF his exploits in his younger days is
part of the history of that state Mr.
Martins parents, before the war, were
wealthy, but the great conflict left
them Impoverished. During the recon
structiOn days, when negroes were be
ginning TO feel the first taste of power,
a negro accused of murder was killed
by the posse Of whites pursuing him.
The negroes, who were in a great ma
jOrity, held a mass meeting and threat
ened to kill every white in the rural
community. There was absolutely no
hope from the legally constituted pro-
tectors, because they were too far away
to he summoned. A number of whites
abandoned their possessions and fled
for their lives.
A faithful negro brought word to the
Martin home, and slipping a couple of
revolvers into his pocket Martin went
to the little meeting house in a jungle,
where a perfervid preacher was incit-
ing his race to aYenge the death of the
murderer. Martin rode up as fast as
his horse could carry him and was in
side the meeting house before many of
the negroes had seen him.

Stops Meeting.

Without making any use Of his wea-
pOns Martin stood in the doorway and
pointing his finger at the preacher,
said:
This meeting has gone far enough
Every one in this meeting house must
go home. If there is a single person
here in ten minutes 1 shall kill him.
'Oh, Marse Gawge, I never did it,
cried one negro after another, as they

Mr.. Martin is six feet two, and his

quite understand how he overawed the

AMERICANS ASK 3
TO HELP ESTRADA
PREPARING PETITION To BE
FORWARDED TO SECRETARY
OF STATE KNOX.

New Orleans, Dec. 1S.-Americans
in Nicaragua are circulating petitions,
asking the United States to interfere
in the present disturbances and name
Juan j. Estrada president. The news
was cabled from Bluefields today,
where, ii is said, the petition is being
eagerly signed, not only by Ameri-
cans, but by people of other nationali-
ties, who are permanent residents
there. The petition is prepared by
Americans, whose homes are in Blue
fields. II Is addressed to Secretary
of State Knox and is expected to be
forwarded to him early next week
The petition started on its rounds to-
day and long before noon it had a
great number of signatures. Estrada
himself is not connected with the
movement, and forbids bis personal
lieutenants helping to secure sigma
lures. He said he Is not actively seek
Ing the presidency. but will accept 1t
II the people think he is needed to
straighten the affairs of the country.
II Is generally believed there will be
no more lighting and the "war" feat

afternoon. The body lay in state for
two hours.
Thousands passed before the bier,
on the opposite side of which stood
two officers and two nuns. The news
paper correspondents also were ad-
mitted to the room, notable for its
bare walls and simple furnishings.
II Is said that a bailiff appeared at
the residence OF Baroness Vaughan,
with the object of selling the prem
ises on behalf OF Princess Louise.
The baroness successfully prevented
the formal service upon her, and IL is
expected that the matter will be
brought .nto the courts.
The newspapers in special editions
devote several pages to the life of the
king, whose private life IL criticised
generally. while his intellectual great
ness is extolled. The Etoile Beige
and the Petit Bleu praise the work of
Leopold for both Belgium and the
Congo.
The Socialist organ, the Peuple,
violently attacks the memory of the
king because he repulsed his daugh-
tiers and admitted his favorite to his
bedside. The paper discusses the re-
ported morganatic marriage OF the
king and Baroness Vaughan and asks
whether the children of this union
Will hold pretensions to the throne.
This point appears to be settled by
the constitution. The children have
no rights, but IL is understood that
they will inherit a great part of the
kings immense personal fortune.
Following the funeral Wednesday,
the body will be placed In the crypt
OF St. Mary's, beside those OF his
father and his wife.

Burlington Wreck.
Chicago, Dec. 1S.-Ten to twenty
persons were injured, several seri-
ously, when passenger train, No. So,
on the Burlington, bound from Chi
cago to Seattle. was derailed at West
ern Springs, Is miles west of here,
early today, while running from 40
to so miles an hour. At the Burling-
ton Offices here, II is stated, none of
the injured will die, though other ad-
vices indicated at least two women
are dangerously hurt. The extreme
cold weather was the direct cause of
the wreck, according to Burlington
officials. Cold had contracted the
rails and when the heavy train struck
one it broke, derailing six Pullman
coaches. Burlington officials say all
the coaches remained on the ties, but
telephone advices say three went into
the ditch and turned over. Relief
trains were sent to the scene from
Aurora and most of the injured at
once were started for Chicago. Four
of the injured arrived on the first re-
lief train and are now at local hos
pitals. 1t is believed they will live.
Three Pullmans rolled down a 90
foot embankment and turned partly
over 1t is considered almost mirac-
ulous that none was killed. The
crash of the falling cars attracted
the attention Of villagers, who hur-
ried to the rescue of the imprisoned
passengers. Two score of men and
women and children were taken out

all were going home to spend the

The opportunity will be given the
good hearted people of the city to
share their Christmas JOY and make
happy the poor families of the city.
The plan of filling the stockings that
Santa Claus oyerlooks and of visiting
homes unvisited by the jolly little fell
low will be Identical as that of the
Good Fellow of the Chicago
Tribune, which has spread like wild
fire over the country.
If there is anybody in the city who
feels that he is willing to divide his
pleasure with the unfortunate OF the
city the opportunity will be afforded
by the Charity organization. All that
is necessary will be to send his name
and address will the statement how
many children he will be Santa Claus
to. or people you will feed, to the
rest ROOM" PA South Seventh
street, or to The Evening Sun. In
answer you will receive the names
and addresses of some deserving poor
people. Then Christmas morning you
can personally deliver the presents or
food, and see for yourself the happi-
ness and sunshine IL VIII cause among
the people to whom Christmas Is but
a dream.
Ii is expected that there will be
many warm hearted people who will
embrace the opportunity to aid Kris
Krinlgle N the field, where he has a
tremendous job every Yuletide. There
are many deserving families in the
city in whose homes there will not be
any Christmas gifts for the children
unless the kind hearted people seize
the opportunity to play the role OF
Santa. The charity will be unheralded
and the act will be without publicity.
Miss Agnes Mahony, the district nurse
at the rest ROOM" is enthusiastic in
the prospect OF merry Christmas for
the poor, and she will send the names
and addresses of the deserving poor
in response to all inquiries. 1t will
tary. but liberal responses are ex-
without any limit Most OF the promi-
nent people of the city have respond
ed literally to the aid of the Charity
club. and this call is wholly volun-
tarily, but liberal responses are ex-
pected. As soon as possible 1t is urged
that the statements be sent in so that
the answers may be sent out in time
for Christmas.
Mayor Smith has rendered the
Charity organization the use of a
room in the city hall for the home
less strangers in the city. The room
IL fitted up with a bed and is COM
fortably heated Last night for the
first time It was put to use, as a
