EMPLOYEES SEE MAN STAGGERING
Believes Him Far Enough from Track
for safety, but at Last Moment
lie Lurches in Front
OF Cars.

Samuel ]. Cummings, a day laborer, liv-
ing at i2i1 Eighth avenue, was run over
by a switch train on the Northwestern

were backing down from the depot crossed
Fifth avenue. Cummings. who was said
to be staggering, attempted to cross the
tracks in front Of the train and was struck
by the front car Two cars passed over
him before the train could be brought tc
a stop.

saw the danger Cummings was In and
jumped from his seat in an effort to save
him. Marks. however, was unable to
reach the unfortunate man before the car
struck him and was rolled under the
wheels.
An ambulance was sent for but Cum
mings died just as It reached the place.
The body, on instructions from Coroner
Treynor, was removed to Cutters under
taking room.
Henry Mccoy, foreman in charge Of the
switching crew, says: I'VE were backing
down the track and noticed the man
staggering along close to the rails although
he was far enough away to permit the train
to pass without striking him. AS we APP
preached the man started to cross the
tracks and the end car hit him"

ALL DRY MEN ARE UNITED
PrOhtbltionISts Decide to Vote for
Their Kind No Matter what
Ticket

Prohibitionists representing north Ne
braska met In Omaha yesterday and de-
cided to stand by the prohibitienists who
recently met in Lincoln and voted to help
elect the dry" men on any political ticket
to the legislature this fall, indicating the
plan of ali dry elements to combine in
this campaign.
d. B. Gilbert acted as chairman Of the
meeting yesterday when these resolutions
were adopted;
Resolved, That we are in hearty accord
with the resolutions adopted by the prohi-
bidonists in convention assembled in Lin
COLI on March Is.
Re solved, That we realize the grave i'm
portance of the situation In Nebraska this
year, because of the fact that the un-
Drzcedented advance of our cause along
nonpartisan lines has not relieved state or
nation from the course Of the open dram
Bhop The condition makes the necessity
of the prohibition party more apparent
It is because OF this realization that we
have adopted the liberal policy in assisting
to elect dry men of all parties to the
legislature, and in placing In the field a
state ticket that voter who wishes to
raise his protest may this fall do SO by
support OF that ticket. We believe that a
large vote will be a protest which cannot
be disregarded by the legislature which
convenes next winter
We pledge our support to the end that
we may use the greatest influence toward
the ultimate destruction Of the traffic.

Honor Memory OF
Grover Cleveland
Personal Friends and Political Ad-
mirers Of Late President Hold
Anniversary in New York.

NEW YORK, March 19.-Personal friends
and political admirers or the late Grover
Cleveland from many states united to-
night TO hsnor lis memory at the ami
versary dinner Of the National Demo-
cratic club. Ten secretaries OF the Cleve-
land cabinets and their assistants were
guests and five were speakers
David r. Francis, secretary OF the in
terror during Clevelands second term told
how Cleveland In the last hours OF his
administration, had delayed Mckinley s
Inauguration to kill congressional amend
ment aimed to defeat the administration
policy OF conserving national resources.
Cleveland was truly the father of national
conservation, said Mr. Francis. and the
last official act of his career had been
in behalf Of conservation. Mr.. Francis de-
scribed how the president summoned his
last cabinet meeting and sat rapidly sign
ing bills as they came to him from con
gress. Among them was the sundry civil
service bill The president asked each cab
met officer If the requisite appropriation
for his department had been made. 81
answered." said Mr.. Francis, that though
satisfactory appropriation had been
made in amount, a portion OF 1t was
dents proclamation Of February %. estab.
fishing forest reserve OF 22,OOO,OOO acres,
be set aside. That section Of itself was
sufficient to necessltate an extra session
Of congress. 1t may, therefore, be said
that President Cleveland's last official act
was for the conservation Of our national
resources"
Many eulogies of Mr. Cleveland were
spoken and read. Richard Olney wrote
Il regard Mr.. Cleveland as the very model
Of an American constitutional president
There have been presidents who were
party leaders before entering upon the
presidency and who remained party lead
ers afterward. Mr. Cleveland belonged to
different class. He Is one of those
whose leadership ended when his admins
traton began. From that moment he re-
garded himself as president OF the whole
people rather than leader OF the party"
