GEORGIANS IN FATAL DUEL.
Bullets Of Each End Lives Of Both
Wives Witnesses.

Stopping their buggies when they
met each other in the public road
near Pelham, Ca, Wednesday, Char
les Tate and John Marchant, both
prominent men Of this county, fought
a duel with pistols, both dropping
to the ground dead after half doleI
shots had been fired. The wives OF
the men sat in the buggies while the
fight was in progress and saw their
husbands kill each other.
Tate was a bridegroom of two
months and his bride was the wi 'tW
of Frank Marchant, brother Of the
man whom ne killed and who killed
him. The fight grew out Of an old
grudge, which at first was between
Mrs. Tate's first husband anl her
second husband, later, 1t is said, be-
ing intensified between Tate and Jno.
Marchant, who opposed his sister-ih-
laws marriage with Tate, and t1ok
up the old quarrel.
When they met Wednesday Mar
chant called Tate to his buggy. The
men exchanged hardly word when
the shooting began. Tate fired three
times, every bullet finding its mark.
While the bullets we're cutting into
his body, Marchant fired twice. one
bullet striking Tate's hand and the
other passing through his heart. The
widows called aid and the bodies
were removed. It was said that Mar
chant lived few minutes after he
fell to the ground. Besides his W.
he leaves two small children. TIE
men lived four miles from Pelham,
owned good farms, were Of promi-
nent families and well respected in

Democrats Now Feel Certain Of Captur-

CONTROL THE HOUSE
The Decisive Democratic Victory i'll
Maine Has Raised the Hopes Of
the Party Leaders for an Over
whelming Victory for the People
in the November Election.

Satisfied that the next house Of
representatives will be democratic,
party leaders now declare that there
is a chance, although remote, that
the Democrats also will control the
Senate. The flop. in Maine is the
cause of this new hope.
Thirty senators will retire March
3, 1911. Six are democrats. In all
six instances Democrats will be re-
turned. These seats are those of
Culberson Of Texas, Swanson OF Vir-
ginia, Money Of Mississippi, Frazier
of Tennessee, Rayner of Maryland,
and Taliaferro Of Florida.
In Indiana Albert j. Beveridge is
fighting to be returned with the
chances against him. In Connecticut
Senator Buckley faces bitter opposi-
tion. Gilbert M. Hitchcock in Ne
braska expects to swamp the divided
Republican organization, whose can
didate is Senator Burkett.
In Missouri Senator Warner is al
most certain to be succeeded by a
Democrat. Senator Nilsson does moi
expect to return and the Nevada leg
islature probably will elect Demo
crat. Maine has elected Democrat
ic legislature,
In Montana the Democrats and in
surgents; are expected to combine or
a fight on Senator Carter, Ne~ York
may elect a Democratic Legislature
and Democratic successor to De-
pew. In-ohio a. landslide may place
a Democrat in Senator Dicks seat.
In addition New jersey, Massachu-
setts and North Dakota may flop, and
a turnover in West Virginia is a
possibility.
Should the thirteen states referr.
ed to return democrats that party
would control the senate.
Arizona at her final territorial ell
ection has gone Democratic. Sh ,uld
she repeat the performance next year

FORTY-FWO KILLED
OARS AT FULL SPEED COLLIDE
ON INDIANNA ROAD.
The Crushed and Mangled Bodies Of
the Unfortunate Victims strew the
Track Amid the Wreckage. i


Forty-two passengers were killed
and seven were seriously injured in
head-on collision between two trac-
tion cars on the Fort Wayne-Bluf-
ton division of the Fort Wayne and
Wabash Valley line Wednesday. The
wreck occurred one and half miles
north of Kingsland, Ind, seven miles
north of Bluffton, at a sharp curve.
The cars In collision were a noSth-
bound local car, crowded to the steps,
which left Bluffton at Ills o'clock,
and a south-bound extra" car, from
Fort Wayne. They met while both
were running at high speed.
The collision is said to have been
caused by the misunderstanding Of
orders regarding the Southbound
extra" cars taking a switch near
Kingsland, so that the Northbound
car could pass it.
There were two physicians on the
cars at the time of the wreck. One
of them escaped serious injury and
with the other, who had himself been
painfully hurt, rendered assistance to
those who survived the collision. Re-
lief cars were hurried from .Bluffton
and physicians went in automobiles,
Many of the dead had already been
removed from the debris of the cars
and the gruesome work of taking out
the mangled remains Of the WRECK
age was taken UP by the more skill
full hands OF the company's wrecking
crews
, Most of the people on the north
bound car were enroute to the fair
at Fort Wayne. Help from nearby
residences was rendered to such as
could be removed from the wreckage.
The motormen of the two cars did
not have time to set brakes when
they sighted each other. The heavy
loaded northbound car was crushed
and the bodies of the dead and injur-
ed were strewn on either side Of the
track amid the wreckage. The
screams of the injured following the
crush brought the neighboring far
mers to the scene.
Conductor Spiller, of the south
bound car was unhurt and ran back
toward Kindsland and bagged a car
from indianapolis, which was ap-
preaching the wreck at full speed and
otherwise would have plunged into it
adding to the list of the killed and
injured in the collision.
Wrecking cars and physicians were
rushed from Fort Wayne and Bluff
ton and the bodies of the dead and
injured were conveyed to hospitals in
the two cities.
