WRECKER FROM WRECK
WRECKS SWITCH TRAIN
Dead Engine Injured While on Its
Way to Southern Pacific
Iron Horse Hospital

The crews of wrecking train number
narrow escapes from death or serious
injury last night when the trains col
lided in Alameda street, near Seventh
Hundreds of dollars damage was
caused the Southern Pacific company
in the destruction of the rolling stock,
but no person was injured.
The wreck occurred shortly after 7:30
o'clock, and it was four hours later
before the line was cleared.
Engine 293S was coming to the
Southern Pacific yards towing engine
1887, which had been wrecked by de-
railing at the Salt Lake crossing, near
Florence, and was in charge of En-
gineer McCarren, Fireman Bush and
Conductor Scott
DEAD ENGINE TOWED
The dead" engine was being towed
by the wrecking train and was back
ing north to make the Southern Pacific
yards Near the corner of Seventh
and Alameda streets, the switch train,
composed of twenty cars, in charge of
Engineer Kane, Fireman Dorrance and
Foreman Gordon, was struck by the
ing several of the box cars of the
switch train.
The crews of both cars jumped when
they realized collision was inevitable
The sound of the grinding of wood,
twisting of iron and the escaping steam
attracted a great crowd, but patrolmen
were sent to the scene and after
careful inspection 1t was found no one
had been injured.
LIFTS ENGINE
The wrecking train containing the
heavy derrick and towing the dead
engine was being backed, and the ten
der of the engine lifted the engine of
the switch train off the tracks. On
the first car behind the engine of the
switch train was a load of lumber,
and the force of the impact hurled
most of the lumber on the engine of
the wrecker.
The wrecking derrick was smashed,
the tender wrecked, the engine and
two cars of the switch train damaged
as a result of the mixup.
Railroad officials stated last night
the crew of the wrecker was to blame
for the accident, as the switch train
had the right of way.
The wrecking train Is regarded as an
extra and is supposed to proceed slow
ly and under control at all times.

BELL HOUSE is BURNED;
FIRE A SERIOUS one
Handsome Home Of Edwin
Bell Damaged.

Fire whicE for a time threatened
the destruction of the large and hand

Lee and College streets, started at i
O'Clock yesterday morning, and but
for the effective work done by tie fire
department. the flames would have got
ten beyond control.
When the occupants of the house
were awakened the flames had burned
through from the first floor and were
pouring out at the roof, following
the stairway.
Fortunately, the family apartments
we're upon tae first floor and all es-
capped in safety.
When the department arrived the
house seemed doomed to destruction
but two lines of hose turned upon the
fire served to check the flames and by
dint of hard work the home, prac-
tieally, was saved.
The fire started in some manner un-
accountable, at the base OF the stair
way and burned rapidly to the top
The second floor hallway was burn
ed out practically, and the flames
quickly forced a way through the cell
ing and roof, thus threatening the en-
tire structure
The fire was confined to the interior
of the dwelling and from the outside
the house does not appear to be dam
aged at all. The loss, however, will
amount to several thousand dollars
it is said.

MINISTERS MAKE
REPLY TO
DIXON
RefatG the Charge Made
Yesterday.
That Their Action Regarding The
StOppage Of His Play Was to Curry
Favor With Northern Philanthropy
lists in Negro Educational Work.

The statements given out yesterday
| by Author Tom Dixon and published
in the Atlanta Constitution and the
| Tfmes-Recorder, regarding a recen.
sensational affair, aroused the indigna-
ton of two of the Americus ministers
as referring to them. In his state
ment to the press the following para,
graph is attributed to Mr. Dixon:
"In discussing the Amercus affair,
Dixon made assertion that a Baptist
minister of that city was responsible
for stopping his performance there.
He claims this minister is affiliat-
ed with several Northern philanthro-
pists who are concerned about educ at
ing Southern negroes and that by hit
ting The Sins of the Father a lick he
calculated on currying favor with the
philantEropists.''
This declaration was emphatieally
denied yesterday by the Americus min
listers referred to, one of whom, at the
request of the Times Recorder, made
the following statement in connection
herewith:
Naturally disposed to ignore the
fulminations of Mr. Thomas Dixon in
the press in regard to the barring OF
his play in Americus, we have refused
to be drawn into any public discus
sion of the matter.
'FThe latest vap0r.ngs of this gen..e-
nan, however, we cannot afford to let
rass unchallenged, viz:
A certain Baptist minister OF that
city (Americus) was responsible for
stopping his performance there. He
claims this minister is affiliated with
several Northern philanthropists who
are concerned about educating South
ern negroes. and that hitting The Sins
of the Father a lick he calculated on
currying favor with the prilanthro-
pists.'
1--WE reply concerning this charge
that if Mr.. Dixon refers to us, he gives
uterance to that which is absolutely
false.
with that little Investigation such
as he suggested with reference to hia
play, he could have known that such
a charge is out of the whole cloth
and without any foundation whatso-
ever, save in the imagination of the
distinguished author, lecturer, play
wright, actor and preacher"

Will SHEPPARD
BE governor
OF STATE?
AmefiCuS is Interested in
Contest.
II Sheppard is Elected President Of
State Senate He Will Succeed to
Governors Chair Upon the Res.
ignatiOR of Gov. Smith as Senator.

Americus politicians, and the gen
eral public here as we'll, are watching
the political skies with keenest inter
est since the death of Senator Steve
Clay creates a vacancy in that august
body, whici will be filled when the
Georgia legislature assemblies in the
good old summer time.
W4M Americas and South Georgia
for the first time in history be rep
resented in the governors chair, in
the event Gov Hoke Smith goes to
the senate?
In which event the president of the
Georgia state senate Will succeed him
in that capacity.
Hon. j. E. Sheppard, of Americus
who is the able representative of the
Thirteenth district in the next sen
ate, stands an excellent chance OF
election to the presidency of that
g0dy, although he Las a very strong
opponent in Hon. Jack Slaton, of At
ldhtd vi AIldhId usually ldHuSs
Should Hon Hoke Smith resign as
governor to become a candidate for
the United States Senate, as he will
beyond doubt, the ermine thus dis
carded will fall upon the president
of the state senate.
Win that dignitary be President
Sheppard, of Sumter, or President
Slaton, of Atlanta? This is the inter
esting question just now.
1t might be that this legislature
which is altogether friendly to Hoke
Smith and which may be counted up
on to enact all his administration
measures, may not wish to bring or
another gubernatorial campaign at this
time.
However, Hoke Smith is a strong
man in Georgia.
1t has been the dream of his life to
go to the senate, and everybody rec
ognizes this. In view of his strength
and pre-eminince his friends say that
the people and the legislature would
not look with disfavor upon his can
didacy for the senate, even at this
time
Hosts of his friends believe that he
will certainly be in the race; that he
will be inaugurated governor, then
offer for the senate and if he is elected
will resign later in the year and al
low the president of the senate to call
an extra session for choosing a gov
ernor.
Americus is interested in the fill
ing of both vacancies that in the
United States senate and the presi-
dency off the Georgia senate as we'll
with Hon j. e. Sheppard in the latter
| position.
