yesterday afternoon, and himself

site Jones & Franklins store, the
king bolt slipped, and the shaft be-
came detached. This frightened the
horse, who Immediately ran off, but
the presence of mind Of the driver
who pulled hard on the right rein
and forced the horse into the brick
wall back of the EIks' Home,
brought the animal t. a staudstill.
The sleigh was turned over, and
the driver thrown out, but he, for
tunately, escaped injury.

IS IT A SNAKE?
Report Has 1t That There Is no Saving
Clause in Primary Law Regarding
Baltimore Frauds.

THAT there is snake whether acci~
dental or born intent-in the new pri-
mary election law passed by the Leg
islature after hard work last week and
signed Tuesday night by Governor
Crothers, is reported today to be the
opinion of some persons who have
looked the measure over as it passed
the House and Senate.
There seems no saving clause in the
re enactment of the bill which would
still make possible the pressing of the
cases against the election officials of
Baltimore city who now stand indict-
ed of fraud in connection with the
last primary.

1t has developed that Charley Pow

married lady living only short dist
ance from the scene OF this outrage
less than a half hour before. Only
her desperate fighting and pluck
saved her, and when she successfully
repnlsed him and escaped, he ran
into an adjoining room and pulled a
l2-year-old girl out Of the bed by
che hair Fearing pursuit he then
jumped from the roof of the porch
to the ground, ran up Walnut street
two or three blocks and then met the
young lady whom he so brutally
treated and robbed.
While the body was at the under
taking establishment to-day, and be-
fore 1t was stolen away and burned -,
identification was made positive by
the lady whom the negro first at
! tackled.

The suicide pact, the discovery of

"a white gis5 was forcibly taken from
an undertaking establishment on
I Mulberry street, where it had been
placed on exhibition, and was car
ried to field in South Macon, in the
midst Of populous negro settle
ment and burned at the stake.
The body was placed in a delivery
wagon, which was followed through
the streets for over a mile by a
crowd Of over 800 men and boys,
who shouted: Save the county
money" and teach the niggers a
lesson"
The officers, led by Chief Chap
man, arrived at the place after the
negro's body was blazing. They did
not interfere with the burning of the
body nor make any arrests.
Before the flames died down the
field was thronged with several thou
sand people, all white. who ap-
plauded and laughed at the scken-
ing spectacle. The negroes in the vi
cinity locked themselves in their
houses. 1t required over an hour
and a half for the body to burn.
The lynching Of the negro met with
popular approval, although there was
regret that the prisoner had been
taken away from the officers of the
law, but the stealing away and burn
ing of the dead body is denounced
by the better element Of citizens as
an atrocious outrage on the fair
name Of Macon.

JE AND THE
THOUSANDS WITNESS TRAGEDY
Three Float to Their Death in Mag
ara's Icy Waters.

Niagara Falls, N. Y. Feb, A.
The great ice bridge. that has choked
the river channel between the Cata-
ract and the upper steel arch bridge,
below the falls, for the last three
weeks, broke from it's snoring just at
noon to-day and went down the rive",
taking with it to their death a man
and woman, believed to be Mr.. and
Mrs. Elridge Stanton, Of Toronto,
Canada, and Burrell Heacock, II
years of age, Of Cleveland, Ohio
Four other persons were on the ice
at the time. but managed to get
ashore in safety.
The bridge was considered per-
fectly safe. For weeks the great
fields Of ice had been coming down
the river, piling up against the bar
rier, until it was from GO to 80 feet
thick, and under the influence of
zero weather had become firmly an
chored to the shore. The jam was
about 1000 feet in length, and in
some places a quarter Of mile in
breadth. For two weeks it had Of
fered safe passage, and to-day an
immense crowd Of eXcursionists came
to view the winter wonder Of the
| river.
Had the accident happened an hour
later in the day hundreds would
nave lost their lives, for the crowd
| was moving into Prospect Park in
| the elevators that run down the cliff
leading to the ice.
Somewhere deep in the great whirl-
| pool tonight lies the man partly
identified as Mr.. Stanton, who twice
put aside chances Of rescue in order
| to remain with his terror-stricken
| wife, and who in the shadow of
| death-just at the break in the
rapids-spurned assistance for him
self and attempted to bind about the
woman's body rope dangling from
Etthei ilowersteel arch bridge. The Ian
Burrell Heacock, was cast in the
same mold. Had he not turned
back on the ice to give assistance to
the man, he, too, might have made
| the shore.

MANY DEMOCRATS SEE ERROR.
Many Now Regret Passage Of Sl,cr-
wood Pension Service Bill.


Washington, Feb. 5.--All Of the
trouble In which the Democrats Of
the House OF Representatives are
now involved over the various appro-
priation bills generally associated
with that familiar phrase, "The pork
barrel owe their origin directly to
the unprecedented service pension
bill which was passed with n wild
whoop early in tho session.
The headlong passage OF this ex-
travagant and foolish measure was
one OF the greatest blunders the De-
mocracy ever committed, and che
cherished hope of the wiser leaders
OF the House majority now Is that
the Senate may not block the bill
and give the House chance to cor
rect IN some degree It's colossal
error.
While ii is probable that the Sen
ate will balk at the folly OF an addi:
ton OF $75, 100000 year to the PEN
sion expenditures Of the government,
| this IS by no means certain There
are in the Senate itself, Of course, n
certain number Of men who are in
favor of pension legislation without
limit. Then there are some Repub-
lican Senators who might let the do
sire to put tho Democrats in a hole"
about stheir economy program over
come the just considerations Of the
mi ho 80
the national exchequer. And last In
the equation, but perhaps most dis
turbing, is disposition on the part
of some Senator'S OF both parties to
teach the House a lesson" and let
the Sherwood bill 60 through with
out serious amendment
Some OF the Senators are very
tired OF the habit into which sqythe
HouseShas fallen of passing all sorts#

unfair, and II knows that It acotiid iiit..5s
flict teri 'ble punishment upon "the
more popular body" by letting the
SIS 900, 900 bill so through. If the
President In that event should sign
the measure, a bond issue might be
required to meet the additional out
lay which would be the result. And
wouldn't that be pretty dish for
the Southern. Democratic members
to take home to their constituents?
Consistency may be unhesitatingly
| admitted IN tho case OF those Repre-
| sentatives who voted against the
pension bill as we'll rs against the
public buildings and the battleship
| appropriations; but in the case Of
many Of tho members who voted for
the big pension grab 1t is impossi-
Bile to avoid the belief that their
eagerness to annlhilate other pro-
jects is due to a desire to make sure
of enough cash in the treasury to
pay the enormous Increase in PEN
sions for which they are laboring.
Is 1t wonder that many Southern
members are "sore" over such sit
| uation?
