of senators and representatives saw
President Taft today regarding 'he
railroad rate situation. Senator De

II do not synpathiZe vita the
railroads in this instance. They
should have submitted tac proposed
increase in rates to the Interstate

hearing before that body. Thcy could
then 1ave presented their case to the
public and the chances are that the
rates would have been approved. IN
part anyway, but the companies went
about this in the wrong way and al

COLORED FOLKS THANKFUL
For the Great Democratic Victory
of Tuesday Week.

Rev, I. E. Lowery, a highly re.
spected colored minister of the gos-
pei, in a letter to the Record about
the colored State Fair, relates this
significant incident:
There is a little incident tina
took place under the tent OIL Assem-
bly, street on Tuesday night, which 1
think is worthy Of mention. Near
the close of the meeting the Rev.
Coying ton, a presiding elder Of the
A. NJ. E. church, and who lives in
Columbia, walked up to the stand
and whispered to Rev. Carol that
he was just from the bulletin board
IN front of The State Office and the
dispatches all said that the whole
country had gone Democratic. Rev.
Carroll followed to the people. LET
nobody leave until we close; I walt
to tell you how the election has
gone, for the Democrats have given
Mr.. Taft the devil to-day" This all
nouncement had wonderful eflacl
upon the audience, and everybody
sat down to await the announce
ment. When they had finished ali
their business, Rev. Carroll called
on Rev. Covington to make the an
nouncement. Rev Covln?t ton said:
Friends, am just from the bulle-
tin board and the dispatches say
that New York. New Jersey, Massa-
chusetts and Ohio all have gone
Democratic" Rev. Carroll respond
ed: II am glad Of it, Rev. e. D.
White cried out: Thank God"
Another brother shouted at the top
of his voice: THAT will bring bread
and meat down." At this latter ex-
preston the whole audience Of na-
groes seemed to have been thrilled
through and through with yoy."

STRUCK BY ENGINE
SIX PEOPLE ARE KILLED AND
TWENTY-SK, INJURED.
Engine Hits Front Of Street Car,
Tearing it to splinters, Killing
and Mangling Occupants.

Six persons are dead and 26 in
jured, four of whom it is thought
will die, as the result of the running
down of street car in the city Of
Kalamozoo, Mich, Sunday night by
fast west bound express train on
the Michigan Central railroad. All
of the dead and injured were pas
sengers on the street car.
That a single passenger escaped
death is remarkable. The: train was
running into the city at high rate
Of speed, 1t is said, and just as it
rounded the curve where is located
the east Main street crossing, 1t
crashed into the street car.
Conductor Van Horn of the street
car, was standing between the Mich
igan G,nItral doubled tracks. He
had signalled his car ahead. Van
Horn claims he did not see the on
coming train or hear it until it was
directly upon him. 1t was then too
late ITO stop his car.
The train hit the front end Of
the car, tearilng it into fragm ents.
Mangled passengers were carried
on the front Of the engine for nearly
a block before the train was brought
to a stop.
Motorman Abbott, with both legs
cut off, was pulled from under the
engine unconscious ' The passen-
gers were caught in the car and were
burned and shocked from an electric
current that was continuously run
ming through the metallic parts of the
car until the trolley was removed.
Miss Elyira Craig was frightfully
burned. Her back was mass of
charred flesh. Her clothing caught
fire and for nearly a minute she lay
in the street, a blazing object, be-
fore her condition was iered!
Shortly after her removal to n hos
pital she died.
Cora Frentheway, sixteen years Of
age, lay all night beside the Michigan
Cenral track unconscious from ter
rible injuries. She was removed to
her home and may die.

RAILROADS. HELD RESPONSIBLE
Liable for Damages When I.ocomo
tives Cause Fires.


That it is an error to grant a nom
suit on the ground that there WAS
no evidence of negligence, when the
testimony tended to show that dam
age was caused to property by sparks
from locomotive, is the substance
Of a decision handed down Friday,
by Justice D. E. Hydrick, of the
State Supreme Court, in reversing
the decision Of ]. NJ. Brit, against
the Southern Railway Company.
Justice Hydrick points out that
prima facie presumption is that there
was negligence. whence the burden
is placed upon the railroad company
to show that the engine was con-
structed, equipped and managed
with due care.
This decision, which came up on a
case in which a non-suit had been
ordered, is of much Importance Il
causes arising out of damage to
property from sparks from locom D
;tives.
1t is also pointed out by Mr.. Hy-
drick that a complaint setting ous
negligence may be amended, durins g
trial, to come under Section 2,135,
Of the code, which make railroads
liable for damaes for fire from en-
igines Except in cases specihed)
without regard to negligence.
