above the. sea of mediocrity, he,
too, is destined to join the ever
swelling squad of ex-Cleveland
managers.
VIM. R. Armour was the first
manager of the Cleveland club
when the American league was
organized by Ban Johnson. He
had captured pennants with his
Dayton, O., club, and had devel-
oped Earl Moore, Gene Wright
and Johnny Gochnauer, who went
with him to Cleveland. He grab
bed Addie Joss from Toledo and
made the big deal which took La
.joie, Flick and Bernhard to Cleve-
land. Armour started well, but
the players did not fancy being
dictated to by a man who had
never played ball in the league,
and petticoat politics played a
hand in forcing Armour out.
Napoleon Lajoie, idolized by
the fans, succeeded Armour. The
greatest natural player the game
ever saw, Larry was anything but
a great leader. Too easy going,
he proved a poor disciplinarian,
and although the team made one

gave up the ghost.

STRIKE OFF AT SIX MILLS.
Expected Normal Conditions will
Soon be Resumed at Lawrence.

Lawrence, Mass, March 14.-The
strike at six of the textile mills in
this city is ended. 1t remains in ef-
feet at seven mills here and one in
North Andover. The Everett mill,
which has kept its employees locked
out since the strike started, is under
stood to be contemplating reopenirg
soon on an increased wage scale.
At mass meeting this afternoon
the strikers voted to declare off the
strike at the Washington, Wood,
Aver and Prospect mills of the
American Woolen Company, the At
lantic Cotton Mills. Approximately
1000 operatives will start to work
at these plants Monday. The mass
meeting also accepted the recon-
mendation of the strike committee
that the strike should end against
seven mills which have announced
wage increase, but have not made
sufficiently clear the details of the
advance to satisfy the strike leaders.

TRAIN SAVED By ICE.
New York Central's Crack Flyer was
Thrown in Hudson River.

Poughkeepsie, \. Y, March 13.-
Thirteen persons injured, several
seriously but one, it is believed, NOR
tally. sums up tonight the casualties
caused by the wreck of the south
bound Twentieth Century limited,
the New York CentraIs crack flyer,
mile south of Hyde Park, near this
city this morning.
Running at a speed of 60 miles an
hour and rounding a curve close by
the banks of the Hudson the train
struck a broken rail and five cars lett
the track and plunged down an en-
bankment and into the ice covered
river.
The thick ice coating of the stream
acted as a check to the rush of the
cars and kept them from sliding into
deep water, while the steel construc-
ton of the coaches, probably pre-
vented far worse disaster. Had the
river been free Of ice, the deralled
cars probably would have gone into
deep water and many persons been
drowned Planks were run out to
the car. windows and passengers
made their way to shore over these
improvised bridges.
Those of the injured that were un-
able to help themselves were carried
out and all those requiring surgical
attention were placed on board other
trains and rushed to New York city.
The train was running in two sec
tions The second section was but
ten minutes behind the first and the
wreck of the first had set danger
Gus trap for it. Frank Lee, the con-
ductor of the wrecked train, however,
stepped into the breach and saved 4
second possible disaster. Lee was IL
the rear of the observation car when
the wreck occurred and was pinned
underneath some seats. His head
was badly cut and he was otherwise
bruised, but he managed to eXtricate
himself, and bleeding as he was from
his injuries, ran back and tagged
the second section.
Many of the passengers related
thrilling stories.
''It was the worst wreck l ever
saw and the escape of the passengers
was marvellous" said ]. J. Burnett,
New York Central official of Chica-
go. I'VE can all be thankful that
we were in steel cars instead Of the

Puts Bullet in Brain.

Greenville, March 15.-With bui
let hole in the right temple and a
pistol lying on the floor nearby, the
lifeless body of Charles Flicker, a
native of Hendersonville, N. c., was
discovered late this afternoon on his
bed at the Hundred Thousand club,
resort on East Washington street,
in the heart of the city.
No one heard the pistol shot and
the tragedy was discovered only when
the proprietor of the establishment
started into Ficker's room. AS nearly
as can be ascertained, Flicker died
about 6 o'clock. The coroner has
taken charge Of the situation and
will conduct an inquest tomorrow
morning.
The dead man came to Greenville
from ,Spartanburg about three weeks
ago and secured position with a
local grocery concern. He held the
position for only a day Or two and
was discharged. His employer was
not satisfied with Ficker's con Sition.
The dead man has a mother,
brother and sisters living at Hender-
sonville and is said to be of a prom
inent family.

Easley. March 1G.-A pathetic
scene vas presented here in the
MAYORS court Wednesday afternoon.
when two small boys, ages u ana

been put Off OF tast freight and
taken into custody by Chief of Police

Life Crushed Out.

Conway, March 16.-While per-
forming some work in the yards Of
the ConW Lumber company's plant
this morning about O'Clock, R. H.
Anderson, an employe Of the COM
pany, was instantly crushed to death
beneath truck of lumber weighing
no less than $4,000 pounds.
A few minutes before the sad &C
cident occurred, H. w. Ambrose,
general superintendent of the mills,
instructed MIR. Anderson as to chang
ing the track Of the truck about three
inches from it's original position. All
the trucks when loaded are placed on
an inclined plane so as to facilitate
their being transferred from one
point of the mill to the other, but
when not in motion are held in posi-
ton by means of perpendicular bars.
The testimony as deduced from the
coroner's inquest is to the effect that
Mr.. Anderson removed the pins hold
ing one Of the trucks in position, and
the car being released with its entire
contents rushed headlong off the
track and platform and fell with all
it's momentum on Mr.. Anderson,
crushing life out of him in an in
stant. The verdict of the jury at the
coroners inquest was to the effect
that the deceased came to his death
by accident.
The accident is very regrettable
one indeed, Mr.. Anderson having
worked continuously with the Con-
way Lumber company since its Or
ganization here ten years ago. He
was 64 years old and is survived by
a widow and three sons.

Not Only Negro.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Attor'
ney General Wickersham's protest
against the ousting of William Fl
Lewis, a negro, who is an assistant
attorney general, from membership
in the American Bar association, has
brought forth a letter from a Min
neapolis lawyer, asserting that
lawyer of that city, who is nearly
a full blooded negro is member
of the association.
The letter states that the negro at
torney was elected to membership
at the Boston meeting of the associ'
alton last year, despite the assertion
of George W. Whitelock, secretary
of the association, in letter to the
attorney general, that none but white
persons had held membership in the
body. The Minneapolis writer added
that the attorney attended the meet
ings and dinners of the Minnesota
State Bar association:
The attorney general to-day show
ed Mr.. Whitelock the communication
and said it seemed to have distinct
bearing on the Lewis case. He re-
uuested a confirmation or correction
MIR. Wickersham is fighting for his
assistant because he believes his ex
pulsion was illegal.

MURDERS WAEDERS; ESCAPE.
desperate Conyicts Kill Three Nc
biaSha Prison Officials.

Lincoln, Neb., March 14.-Three
prisoners at the Nebraska peniten-
tiary at Lancaster, three miles south
of here, this afternoon assassinated
Warden James Delahunty, Deputy
Warden Charles Wagner, Usher A.
Heilman and wounded Cell House
Keeper Doody.
The three convicts then made their
escape. The killing was done by
Moorly, Taylor and Dowd, each SEN
fenced for bank robbery. The trio
shot deputy Warden Wagner in his
office, just off the chapel, which looks
out into the prison yard. Doody
was shot just outside the cell house,
of which he was the keeper. The
murderers, after blowing off the lock
of the first steel door which leads to
the public entrance of the prison,
rushed the turnkey at the point of
a revolver, forced him to unlock an
other door, took his keys, and let
themselves into the main corridor.
Before the men let themselves out
they had shot Warden Delahunty and
Usher Heilman by firing through the
barred doors, the two men having
rushed out of their offices into the
main corridor when the first shot was
heard. The warden was shot once
and Heilman twice. AS the trio rush
ed past the warden bullet was fired
into his body as he leaned against a
door casing.
AS soon as news of the uprising
reached the governors Office, the To-
cal company of State militia was sent
by special train to the penitentiary.
Sheriff Hyers and Capt. Hunger,
chief of police, also started with pos
ses.
Gov. Aldrich directed that Adjt.
Gen. Phelps be put in temporary
charge of the penitentiary.
It is believed weapons were SNUG
gled in to the convicts by former
prisoners.
A spirit of unrest has been preva-
lent among the convicts for more
than a month. On February II ne
gro convict, Albert Prince, fatally
stabbed Deputy Warden E. D. Davis,
during the chapel service.

SAINT Antonio, Tex, March 13.-
An express messenger, David A.
Trousdale, baked the robbery of a
Southern Pacific train near Sander

two highwaymen who had held up
|. train, and killed them.
The robbers boarded the train, No.
8, westbound, a few miles east of
Sanderson. The mail and express
cars and the locomotive were detach-
ed from the passenger coaches. Then
the engineer, under cover of the rob-
bers' guns, was compelled to run the
two or three coaches ahead of the
remainder of the train.
One of the robbers took the ex-
press messenger, Trousdale, back to
the train and kept him under guard,
while the other robber covered the
crew in the cars ahead and started
to rifle the safe and express boxes.
TrousdaIe is said to have employ
ed the old ruse of signaling to an i'm
aginary person back of his captor.
When the robber turned, Trousdale
grasped a mallet and, before the
highwayman could shoot, dashed out
his brains.
Then arming himself with the
dead mans gun, Trousdale waited
for the return of the other bandit.
After he had rifled the express box,
the second highwayman came back
to the coaches Stepping from cover,
Trousdale killed him. All of the
stolen property was recovered and
the train proceeded.
Trousdale is a young man, re-

Strictly a Personal Matter.

payment to the Rev. G. w. Creigh-
ton, editor of the Christian Appeal,
Of the sum Of $500 from the COVER
nor's contingent fund last year was
submitted to Mr.. Creighton this af-
ternoon and a statement requested
from him. He declined to make a
statement, simply writing across the
bottom of the written request, Il
have absolutely no statement to
make"
Acting for the Greenwood Index
late Wednesday afternoon this CORE
spondent asked Mr. Creighton about
the report that he was cotton mill
inspector last year. In reply to that
question Mr.. Creighton said that he
certainly was not a cotton mill in
spector and said he did not know
how such a report could have been
started. He was told that possibly
it arose from the fact that he receiv-
ed 5000 from the governors contin-
gent fund.
He was then asked what this
morey was for and replied that it
was strictly "a private matter" He
would not give any further informa-
ton as to the nature of the service
rendered for the $500.
