A. c. L. ENGINEER LOSES SUIT.

Wm VI. Whilden, former engi-
necr of the Atlantic Coast Line, Will
not collect damages against that line
awarded him some time ago as he
had expected according TO the terms
OF decree handed down by Judge
Shelby, of the United States Court OF
Appeals, reversing and remanding
tho decision of the jury that tried
.ha ease in the district court and
which jury awarded to Whilden dam
ages amounting TO $1,000 with costs
of the procedure.
The decision. which was filed yes
terday in the United States District
Court here, declares in short that the
defendant had failed to show in his
bill of particulars that II was really
case for the United States Court to
consider, In that it had failed to
show that the Atlantic Coast Line
the defending company, was created
by a state whereof the complainant
was not a citizen. In the bill OF par
ticulars the complainant set fortf
that he is a resident Of Florida and
that the Atlantic Coast Line is "a
corporation and citizen Of the STATE
of Virginia.
1t is probable that an effort vii
be made to have the case retired.
The original suit was for $4,000
1t was alleged by Whilden that whil'
in the employ of the Atlantic Coas
Line Company as an engineer operat
ing an engine between Fort Myer
and Lakeland that an arch pipe blew
out. knocking him down and severe
ly scalding him, and that as a re
suit Of these injuries he was perma
nently disabled. He further allege
that the blowing out of the arch pip
was caused by the negligence OF tn
railway company. The jury delibeI
ated for some time and then award
ed him damages in the sum Of 5000
An appeal was taken with the resu
as detailed. The accident occurre
on Feb. IL, 1a09.-Tampa Tribune.

COMPLETE COLLAPSE OF CON.
DEMNED MAN OF HIS SWEET.
HEART, AVIS LlNNELL.
(By Associated Press.)

Boston, May 1S.-Copjured by
powerful opiates, deep sleep came to
,elieye the tortured mind of Clarence
\ T. Richeson early today. Last
night collapse smote the man. who is
condemned to death for poisoning his
sweetheart, pretty Avis Linnell. The
end of his fortitude came, and alter
nately he besought his counsel to
hayc him buried at the side OF his
mother in Virginia and raved against
the fancied persecution by the two
guards, who formed his death watch.
Richeson learned yesterday fore
neon that he must 60 to the death
chair. He bore himself up we'll but
as night fell the realization of the
fate that awaits him seemed to be
pressing itself stronger. Then some
one told the prisoner that his father
did not care to have his body re-
moved 10 virginia, duu TIE Ulo" iSii'
Richeson gave way to rawlings that
ere only relieved by the moments
when he implored his counsel to OBJ
tain permission for his body to lie
beside his mothers. He begged his
spiritual adviser. the prison chap
lain, and his lawyer to walk to the
electric chair with him. He threw
himself on his cot and moaned and
slrieked, and with arms and shoul-
ders twitching, his face drawn in
agony, whenever his eyes fell on the
guards. he would scream, They're
watching me. they're watching me-.
He was finally put to sleep with
drugs. The attack follows out the
conclusions Of the alienists, who re-
Gently examined Richeson, and who
declared that. although sane, he was
subject to hysterical delirium. He
probably will be executed TUESDAY
morning.

In today's paper We begin the pub
licatOn of that great story THE
Wreck OF the Titan," which was
written fourteen years ago. 1t is a
remarkable coincidence how writer

kind, and that it should so entirely
coincide with the actual details sur

a few weeks ago. 1t is thrilling from
beginning to end, and we feel sure
that our readers will appreciate our

that there was a danger of pushing
the white Australia doctrine too far,
but review of your special condi-
tons here, on top of my experience in
the United States, SHOWS me that we
might by carrying out that policy
avoid many dire consequences. II
seems to me that the problems facing
the United States in reference to the
treatment of colored people, especially
those who have attained citizenship,
are such that We ought to avoid by all
possible means in Australia.
UnexampIed Prosperity.
AS 10 Australian matters generally

Opinions naturally differ as to the
cause of this prosperity, Labor gov

They claim, of course, credit for this
prosperity, and, equally, of course
there is large body of public opin.
ion which attributes it to other causes
There is no doubt that we have had a
run of splendid seasons. 1t may be
possible that MUCH of the legislation
that has scarcely affected the general
prosperity, will have more serious con.
sequences when the lean years come
as in the turn Of events they will UNI
doubleday come Others, think, be-
lieve that We are pushing our social
istic legislation too far. | do not re-
fer, of course, to so much of the do,
nestle, Legislation which affects our
social relations as to that which un.
doubtedly interferes with finance and
industry.
There is a strong tendency to tax
capital, or, as the labor party puts it,
the fat man, meaning thereby those
people who have accumulated wealth
in various enterprises in the country.
This can be pushed so far as really %
mean confiscation, in part either of
earnings or of capital, and if it tends
to check the organization of indus
tries, such as is only possible with
capital, the effect is bound to be high
y detrimental to the country, and to
react upon the very people that the
abor party is seeking to serve, name
y, the working classes.
